DIsCOUNTING vENDIG's TALK.
Opinion Among Jacksonville Sports Tha
No Club Will Be Organized.

Opinion Among Jacksonville Sports That
No Club Will Be Organized.
JACKSONVILLE, June 6.-The fact that new
athletic club has been inaugurated here by
the business men of the town is not believed
to be true by some, and especially by the
members of the old Duval Club. which man.
aged the Corbett and Mitchell mill last Janu-
ary.
Manager Bowden, of the old club, when
asked in regard to Joe Vendig's statement
about the new club and the purse of
S25.0O0 being offered, stated that he did not
believe word of it. and that VeIdig was
talking for newspaper notorietv.
The names of the business men who are
supposed to be connected with the new club
are for the present withheld from publication,
not even being known to Jacksonville sport
ing men.
There were large number of Jacksonville
business men who manifested great deal Of
interest in the last mill ON account OF the al
legged good it did toward helping business,
and it may be possible that Joe vendig's
statements are true.
In a recent letter to New York friend Jim
Corbett stated that the fight would take
place in Florida, as a good-sized purse had
been offered by some Jacksonville club.
There was great deal Of talk last February
and March in regard to new club being or

An Englishman Stops the Dicppe Express
Because He objects TO Tobacco.
The express train which leaves the Care ST.
Lazare at ga. N. to catch the steamboat from
Dieppe to Newhaven should, according to
the time table, stop only at Rouen, but the
passengers were startled few days ago, says
a reporter of the France, by its pulling up
suddenly in the middle of the fields near
Nantes. Every head was thrust out of the
carriage windows, and the guard was seen to
make straight for a compartment and enter
into conversation with the occupants. People
began to speculate as to what had occurred
and the general opinion was that some terri
Bile crime had been committed, but the un-
easiness OF the travellers was soon set at rest
when the truth became known.
The compartment in question was occu-
pied by two Englishmen, and one Of them
had lighted his pipe to the intense disgust of
the other who objected to smoking. What
passed between them must be left to the
imagination but it is certain that the smoker
puffed steadily away until the other, deter
mined lot to give ill., threw down the gaunt-
let 81 bet I'll stop you" mo. you won't"
replied the offender phlegmaticaily, where-
upon his opponent coolly rang the alarm bell
and stopped the train.
The guard, VINO expressed his astonishment
that the idea OF stopping train for so triling
a cause should have occurred even to an En-
glishman, was met with the answer. ''Achl ce
gentleman tioumait son pipe. ct il etait dit
sur lie carton quill etait interdit de houmer."
THAT is all very WELL, said the guard,
"but the notice also says that the bell must
not be rung without serious reason. You
were in no danger, and might very well have
waited till the train reached Rouen to make
your complaint. l shall be obliged to draw

A Bad Case.

GFrom the Chemist and Druggist
Once was assistant to an elderly doctor in
Ontario. who also ran drug store. He was
peppery as cayenne pod. and from time to
time customers and patients sprung jokes on
him just for the fun Of hearing him blow off.
On one occasion well-dressed young fellow
called at the shop and asked the doctor to
prescribe for a breaking out and rash on
his left arm. The doctor examined the limb
and pronounced it to be bad case of
psoriasis and eczema.
Il suppose, doctor, you can cure it?" said
the patient.
''Why, certainly" replied the doctor.
"How long will it take to get well?"
..Oh, guess about two MONTHS said the
doctor.
"Quite sure, sir-is it a bad case?''
Positively the worst I've seem
''Then I will leave it with you and call for
it again when cured" solemnly said the
patient. slowly unfastening his arm, which

New HAVEN. Conn.,, June 6.-Princeton had
little difficulty in winning the deciding game
of the championship series with Harvard to-
day by score OF II to t. With the exception
of the third inning. Princeton played brilliant
ball. In this inning Altman was found for
three hits, which with Il pissed ball. base
on balls and wide overthrow by Brooks
netied Harvard four runs. Princeton made
three runs in the next inning on two singles,
base on balls and passed ball and an
error, and four more were added in the fifth
by a series of punched hits and errors by the
Harvard fielders.
The pitchers were wild. Altman gave
seven buses on balls. He redeemed himself,
however, by his phenomenal hitting. Score:

BURNED THE WRONG TALLY SHEETS
Ex-Election Clerk Taylor's Explanation Of
the Chicago Ballot Incident.

Ex-Election Clerk Taylor's Explanation Of
the Chicago Ballot Incident.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The facts relating to
the apparent tampering with ballots of
the December, 1898, city election are that
the seals of over 100 ballot boxes contain
ing the ballots cast in the special mayor
atty election at that date have been cut
and all of the tally sheets of that election
are missing. The inference was that
these ballot boxes had been tampered with
for the purpose of covering up fraud which
might be exposed by the Swift-HopEini
contest. The election board will make a
searching investigation and try to find
out what 1t means. The case will proba-
bly, he presented to the grand jury.
Ex-Chief Clerk Taylor, who held that
position during the Scales administration
and who has been responsible for the safe
keeping of the ballots, said that he be-
lieved the missing tally sheets and state
ments have been burned. "It is my full
conviction now that these sheets were, by
mistake, burned last year instead of the
sheets for the April election of 1893, in
which there was no contest. am salts
fed this is the case, for those for the
April election are still in the vault, and l
thought they had been burned, while
those for the December election, which l
Thought we had, are cleared away entire
ly. It would be impossible almost for any
one to steal them and make such clean
sweep of the Job. As for the investiga-
tion. 1 will say am ready to lend my as
sistance ut once, and will do all in my
mower to help the board find the guilty
persons"

Prepared as Substit"ta for the Carlisle
Currency Measure.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Bland has pre-

the Carlisle bill. 1t begins by providing
Ihat the unit of value in the United
states shall be the standard dollar as now

the gold unit because he has based our
coin syssem for many eyears on the silver

also preserves the idea of government

1he government in what kind of coin it

But the Missouri statesman has found
new term for the 'option" idea; he calls
It without discrimination" In the bill
provision is made for the redemption of
outstanding greenbacks and treasury
notes in gold or silver coin without dis
elimination. An emergency fund is
created so that In case of panic or money
stringency the secretary of the treasury
may on deposit of United States interest

Dill provides generally for the free coinage

advantageous to the government

Rail way Pooling bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The senate will
take no action on the railroad pooling bill
until after the holidays. 1t will then be
considered in the committee on interstate
commerce, reported to the senate and
pushed as rapidly as possible. The sena-
tors do not think there will be any
amendments to the bill. 1t is said that
being a measure satisfactory to the house
it does not seem necessary to change it in
the senate.
