One More Effort Made to Save the MUIR
derer's Neck.
SAN Francisco, Jsn. ga last effort
is being made to save the neck of MUIR
derer McNulty. This morning Gen. W.
H. L. Barnes and Mayor Ellert left San
Francisco for Sacramento, for the pur :
pose of making request Of Governor
Markham for reprieve of McNulty's
sentence. 1t is claimed that new wit
nesses have been found that change the
case materially in McNulty's favor
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 23.-Mayor Ellert,
Dlatrict Attorney Barnes and Supervisor
Kennedy came up from San Francisco
today to in tercede for the commutation
OF the sentence OF John McNulty. Gov
ernor Markham has said that if he dis
covered any point which he thought
should go in McNnlty's favor and save
his neck he would not be ashamed to
say 30.
Governor Markham was seen tonight
and asked if there was ANYTHING new to
be said regarding the McNulty case, He
was very guarded in his reply, but said
he had not granted the prayer of the
petitioners for q Communication of sem
tence. He said he had listened atten-
lively TO all the arguments advanced by
those who had called upon him in the
interests of the condemned man. but said
nothing that would warrant the belief
that he had changed the We've formerly
expressed by him.

A CHECK TO THE FIGHT.
Referee Kelly Not Permitted to Handle
the Coin as Yet.
"W hat woods ?"

.
the Coin as Yet.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. %. - The
much endorsed and much-talked of
check for $40, 900, which represents the
purse for which Corbstt and Mitchell
are to fight, has not yet gone down the
back entry OF time. 1t is yet an ele-
ment in the equation and will remain
so to the end. When Referee Kelly
yesterday called upon the club to con-
vert the check into cash, the club in
conference decided to do 30. In some
way or another it seems to have been at
the time unknown, either to Kelly or to
the club, that something stuck to the
check, and it is again dangling there be-
fore the public eye today.
Last night it was generally under
stood that the check matter had been
ended and that Kelly today would re-
ceieve 500, 900 in cash. Kelly, however.
has not yet handled any money realized
from this check, and the indications are
he may not do 30 until the contest is
ended. AT a conference between Kelly
and the club members, the club an
nounced that il an injunction lie granted
the club tomorrow, the cash for the
check will be turned over at once.
If the injunction is refused, the fight
will be declared off. Kelly says he will
not referee the fight If the money is not
in his hands before the contest.
Kelly declares he has every confidence
in the Duval club, and although rumors
had been in circulation it was not play
ing square, he though they came from
men trying to make capital from moth
ing. He believed tomorrow everything
would be satisfactorily arranged.

tween 6 and O'Clock, but did
not think enough OF the circumstance
to notify the officers. Walter Byington
saw two men, supposed to be Bruggy
and Espey, driving eastward on Fourth
street about O'Clock, but knowing
nothing about the break at the time,
he thought the man in the cart must
have been an accidental likeness of
Bruggy. After learning of the break,
he was certain the man was Bruggy.
Suspicion eeems to center on Mrs.
Bruggy as being the chief outside con-
federate, though many hold to the be-
lief that Espey's father had as much to
do with the escape as anyone. The lat
ter is Sheriff Aliens belief. Every pre-
caution is supposed to have been taken
at the Jail. though some blame the
eheriff's officers for allowing Mrs,
BruQgy so much liberty in jail with her
husband. Sheriff Allen telegraphed all
the towns in the county and put 20 men
in the field within 20 minutes after the
break was discovered.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. c3.-Troops
came to town this evening, the entire
second battalion of the Florida militia,
in all 135. The troops emerged from the
train in this order: Shine guards, Or
land, "a strong, under the command of
Captain Bowan; Ocsls rifles. So; Lees
burg rifles, 33; Gate Citys of Sanford,
80. Mai. @. P. Lowell is in command Of
the battalion. Each company brought
along it's own impediments, which were
loaded upon trucks and hauled to tenn
porary quarters. There was no excite
ment among the spectators, whoreceived
the troops good naturedly, with an oc-
casionel cheer and occasional sneering
remarks from small boys, who picked
out various members of the command
for plimentary illusions, such as,
"Hi. there get on to Fatty" etc.
Something OF sensational nature
occurred when the soldiers were passing
in front of the Globe saloon. All the
way up the street they we're, met with
derieive yelisEnd hisees. In front OF
the saloon was an unusually large crowd,
which gave vent to its displeesure by
such volume of misses as must have
made the ears of the soldiers tingle. The
hisses increased until the noise became
a growl, when the soldiers suddenly,
under an order from their captains,
lowered their guns to position to load
and went through the motions, whether
they did or not. This significant action
was at once noticed by the crowd, and
only renewed the ridicule.
The men were very angry when they
reached the armory, claiming the hlsses
and other insults they were subjected to
on the march from the railroad station
had left them with no good feeling
toward the people OF Jacksonville. OF
the same frame OF mind were the men
of Company D, Captain Teller. One
private wentso far as 10 cay that had he
not received strict orders not to FIRE un-
lees commanded, eom6 Que In the crowd
would have been hurt when the kissing
began.
IF we face a mob" said one lieuten-
ant, land get orders TO fire, We will do
so, and not in the air, either. Our boys
were brought up with guns in their
hands and can hit man across the
street. After the treatment we re-
ceived tonight know my men are very
ill-humored, and 1 believe they will
shoot to kill should the occasion require
it,"
Similar expressions were made by
others of the battalion, and the fact is
evident that there is much bad feeling
among the boys in blue from the out
side districts over the reception accord
ed them by large portion OF the people
of Jacksonville. The people are afraid
the governors action may drive little
businees aWay from their old CITY.

The story that Bowden had said the
fight would be declared off, If the in
junction was not made permanent to-
morrow. put them in less pleasant
state of mind. Mitchell was at first
inclined to be savage. but finally said !:
81 have done all / could and am ready
to carry out my part of the programme.
but if the club has put the money in
Kelley's hands, tomorrow the fight may
come off after all. That bridge can be
crossed, however. when it is reached"
Late tonight word was received by
Mitchellfr from Billy Thompson, his repre-
sentative in Jacksonville, that if per-
manent injunction ia not granted to-
morrow, the Duval club will formally
declare the fight off and allow the pugil-
lists to work out their own salvation.
The Mitchell party believes the fight
may ultimately bo pulled off despite the
probable funk OF the club. but are not
very specific concerning the methods.
It is impossible to see Mitchell concern
ing the mess tonight.

MITCHELL Is READY.
He Does His Last Work and L. Painting
for the Fray.

He Does His Last Work and L. Pantin &
for the Fray.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Jan. %. Charley
Mitchell is now entirely ready for the
fight. His last work, run of six miles,
followed by rub down. was completed
at 10 o'clock today, and from now on he
will quietly rest until he enters the
ring, doing no more work than neces
sary to keep in condition. He is still
very confident of the outcome, and only
laughs at the odds quoted against him.
'They have often been wrong" he said,
"and they are wrong this time"
Concerning the proposition to adjourn
the fight until later, Mitchell was very
emphatic. He looked supremely dis
gusted when he heard of the possibility
OF postponement until Saturday, and
then remarked with energy: II will
listen to no proposition from the club un-
less made worth my while. l have i'm
ished my work and have made all prep
arations to leave here for the fight
Thursday.
1.-THE only object OF the club in post
poning the fight is to draw more men
down here. 1t takes no account OF the
men W ho have already come down to see
the fight, but proposes to simply keep
everybody here at increased expense, so
it can make more money for itself. II
they want a postponement to Saturday
they must. as | have said, make it worth
my while to wait, otherwise | shall fight
Thursday"
The granting OF 4 temporary injunc-
ton at jacksonville was grateful news
to the members of the Mitchell party
"Of course, this does not settle every
thing" said Bat Mssterson, "but it
does look as though the governor was
disposed to admit the matter to argu-
ment now, and that is what he refused
to do heretofore. We have it from a
source, which cannot give you, but
which / assure you is the highest, that
the granting of an injunction will not
be unsatisfactory to Governor Mitchell.
He does not, my informant stated, de-
sire to place the city of Jacksonville
under martial law, and having done all
he could to have his own way upon what
he thinks right, and then having been
stopped by The courts, will be glad to
have the matter settled that way
rather than drawn out in an eternal
wrangle.'
ut quits me all right" said Mitchell.
al don't care where the fight comes off,
40 long as it does come eff. or course,
/ prefer comfortable arena to u fight in
the bushes. but want the f;ht to come
off without any monkey BUSINESS"
The Mitchell party will move up to
Jacksonville tomorrow. All OF the party
profess themselves perfectly surs the
tight can have but one result, and that
will be the utter rout OF Jim Corbett.

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS
A Temporary Restraining Order Issued
by Judge Gall.

A Temporary Restraining Order Issued
by Judge Gall.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. j an. 23. Argument
on the bill praying for an injunction to
restrain the sheriff from interfering
with the Corbett- Mitchell fight. was
called in the circuit court this morning
before Judge Call, and the argument OF
both sides presented. The Judge is un-
derstood to be inclined to grant the in
junction ii the lawyers for the Duval
club can convince him that such a con.
test as that indicated in the articles OF
agreement is not illegal.
From rather equivocal statement
made by Sheriff Browsrd this
morning, it is surmised that if
the court grants an injunction,
he will not take any too many chances
of punish ment for contempt of court by
stopping it. Moreover, letter WAS re-
ceived this morning to the effect that if
the citizens would make it pleasant and
convivial for the troops whom the gov
ernor is sending here on their arrival,
and if the Duval club would give them
complimentary admission to the fight,
they might stack arms and forget to
take them up again till too late too pre-
vent the contest.
Work with large force was resumed
on the arena this morning. indicating
that the club has this evening grounds
to believe it can pull off the fight there.
Judge Call granted continuation of
the injunction proceedings against the
sheriff until tomorrow morning, issu-
ing a temporary injunction meantime,
restraining the sheriff from interfering
until the case in court is settled.
The Duval Athletic club made prop
osition to Corbett and Mitchell to fight
Saturday instead of Thursday. Oorbett
has accepted. 1t is not thought
Mitchell will.
Speaking Of Judge Call's probable de-
cision on the injunction, Bowden said !:
''If the Judge says the contest is against
the law, then we will at once declare the
fight off and it will be held nowhere.
Ii, however, the judge simply refuses an
injunction on some technicality and
does not pass on the law question, then
we will 20 ahead and pull off the fight,
where it will not be interfered WITH"
''In the woods?"
"Yes."

A Heavy Rainfall Probable Througho ut
California.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 23.-High pres
sure and cold weather has caused She
temperature to fall over the Pacific
slope, except over Southern California.
The storm has caused a material drop
in the barometric pressure over western
Washington. This storm, which is now
moving on to the land, has one of two
probable courses; the first, and which
now app ears to be most likely, is south
ward along the coast to Cape Mendo-
cino, in which event general heavy
rain will fall over the Paci6c states: the
second course will be eastward over
Washington, in which event only a
light rain of short duration over North
ern California would occur. This latter
course is possible should the high pres
sure now moving southwark from Mon
tsna move rapidly. The conditions are,
however, not favorable for fair weather
the remainder of the week.

A JAIL DELIVERY.
Murderer Bruggy and Other Prisoners
Escape at Santa Rosa.

Murderer Bruggy and Other Prisoners
Escape at Santa Rosa.
SANTA Rosa, Jan. 23.-On the heels
of the Pstaluma murder the city was
thrown into fever OF excitement to-
night over Jail delivery in which the
noted murderer Bruggy and Lorin Espey,
another murderer, escaped, with four
other prisoners. The break occurred
between 6 and o'clock, just after Jailor
Wise had inspected the interior OF the
Jail before going to supper. The prison
ers who escaped with Bruggy and Espey
we're Craig and Smith, burglars, and
Pridgett and Owens, petty offenders.
The break was made by the same means
and in the same manner ss before,
when Bruggy and "Frenchy" got out,
only to be retaken. One of the cross-
bars in the cage was sawed at the north
end of the Jail, near the water closet,
and from there the prisoners climbed to
the top Of the cage and broke pane of
glass in the roof. Aitergaining an OPEN
ing it was an easy matter to climb to the
edge of the roof and drop down into an
alleyway Oh the east side OF the build
ing. The sheriff organized a posse,
which is now in pursuit. The break ia
supposed to have been aided by Mrs.
Bruggy, who was in to zee her husband
last Saturday.
This is Bruggy's second escape. He
gained his liberty in June, 1898, with a
fellow prisoner called Frenchy. and both
were captured in a canon by ex-Deputy
Sheriff Groshong and County Recorder
Gilhall. Espey was sentenced two
weeks ago to IL years in San Quentin
Tor the murder of a man named Bannis-
ter at Windsor. His case had been ap--
pealed. Craig and Smith were to have
been tried on the charge OF burglary
Thursday. The burglary was committed
at Bloomfield, this county, six weeks
ago. Young Pridgett, IA years Of age,
was to have been tried this week, for
assault with a deadly weapon on man
named Casey, near Petslume. with in-
tent to commit murder. Owens is a
petty thief.

The Value Of Great Telescopes.

should like to call attention to
the fact that the history of the great
telescopes at Mount Hamilton and at
Washington will serve to lay away
finally widely published opinion
which we used to hear repeated every
few weeks-namely, that great tele-
scopes are OF little use. The work Of
these two great telescopes mot to
speak OF many others) has conclusive
~ shown their great superiority over
less powerful instruments in every
field OF astronomy, in the observa-
tions ofplanets, nebul@, stars, comets,
satellites, in spectroscopy, and also
in those departments OF astronomical
photography for which they are
adapted. Smaller instruments have
their appropriate fields, and in
some of these they will always be
more convenient than larger ones.
But the great telescope, when proper
ly used. is and will always be preemi-
nent. The proof is easy to give, and
l trust that we shall not hear any
more idle detraction OF the work of
great instrument makers, the Clarks,
or of their European rivals.-Pro.
