Pawtueket Gas Company Has Made no Ar.
rangements With the interst ate.

A TRIBUNE man called at the office OF
the Pa"tueket Gas Company this noon
and learned that so far no arrangements
had been made to furnish power for the
Interstate.
There is no doubt, however, that ar
rangoments viii be made within few
days. IL is only a matter of coming to
terms now.
The rumor that the Gas Company had
not power enough is erroneous for il has
800 house power and is only using 600,
while all the Interstate will need is $50
horse power.

NEW BATTLE GROUND
Will Be Chosen For Cor
bett-MitCheII Fight.
0UVAl PEOPLE NOT AFRAID.
Hit:hen Agrees to the Change Made
in the Original Agreement.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 4-Unless
something of a most unexpected nature
turns up the Corbett- Mitchell battle will
surely take place.
1t Is probable that the original plan
will be fully carried out. but II II Is found
impossible to pull the fight of in the
arena In this city, . secret battle ground
will be selected somewhere within the
limits Of Duval or st. Johns county and
the contest will go on ss though nothing
had happened. This Is the gist of the
arrangements that have been made with
In the last few days.
The only change suggested by Mitchell
when he signed the amended articles was
bhe limitation of the ground to the two
sountiss above named. This was agreed
TO by the Duval people, and Mitchell
signed. The articles were the same as
those given to Corbstt, with the differ
enoe mentioned, and were again signed by
him. Under these new conditions each
man will furnish his own gloves.
Within a short time legal proceedings
will be instituted by the Duval club test
ing the legality OF the contest. Exactly
what these will be II is not stated by o
club people, but as IL Is a notorious fact
that no Jury can be possibly found in
Duval county to decide against the battle,
II is pretty certain that the outcome will
be fsvorabl TO the club.

step In and interfere, all plans for fight
IN jacksonville will be dropped and q new
battle ground selected The location Of
this will, OF course, DO kept secreb until

know what course to pursue to prevent
the meeting
A license will be applied for which, un-
der the new city ordinance passed over
The mayors veto, must be granted.
For the first time the Corbett party
really believe that the fight will take
place. Local sporting men are happy,
and say that IL IL now doubtful that the
governor will interfere. Lawyers, how
ever, think that he will, but say that It
Will amount to nothing A. he has no
ground upon which TO act. The scare
about the militia being called out has
uow died down, and those who were most
fearful are loud IN their statements that
nothing Of the kind will happen. Alto
gether, Il seems as though the champions
Of England and America would at last
come together and the question Of STU
prsmacy be settled.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

The House of Representatives has
passed a bill by vote of 137 to 49,
looking towards amending the Con
stitution of the United States, SO
that Senators can be elected by pop
ular vote, as members of the lower
House are now elected. There is, no
doubt, widespread feeling that the
Senate is representative of vested in
terest5 in this country much as the
House of Lords is in Great Britain,
and that both are obstructive when
measures in the interest of the mas
ses are pending; but we should go
slowly in radically changing the
organic law framed by our fore
fathers. 1t would be interesting to
know how many of the 1877 Repre-
sentatives voting for this change
have read the reasons for constitut-
ing the Legislative branch of our
Government as it is. The reasons
are given by Alexander Hamilton as
follows:
ITO conciliate the spirit of indie
pendence in the several States, by
giving each, however small, equal
representation with every other,
however large, in one branch of the
national government.
''To create a council qualified, by
its moderate size aud the experience
of its members, to advise and check
the President in the exercise of his
powers of appointing to Office and
concluding treaties.
To restrain the impetuosity and
fickleuess of the popular House, and
so guard against the effects of gusts
of passion or sudden changes of
opinion IN the people
"To provide body of men whose
greater experience, longer term Of
membership, and comparative indie
pendence of popular election, would
make them an element of stability in
the government of the nation, en-
abling 1t to maintain its character in
the eyes of foreign States, and to
preserve a continuity of policy at
home and abroad.
ITO establish a Court proper for
the trial Of impeachments, remedy
deemed necessary to prevent abuse
of power by the executive"
1t is unnecessary to add anything
to the above, although Bryce, in his
"The American Commonwealth" !"
gives additional reasons and warmly
commends the wisdom of those who
drafted the Constitution of the
United States.-American Grocer.

Kate Marsden Must Retire.

LONDON, Aug. 16,-Pastor Francis
of the British American Church in
St Petersburg writes to the Times as
follows:
"The committee of Kate Marsden's
friends formed in st. Petersburg in
December last 70 inquire into the
serious charges made against her in
England, America, and New Zealand
have concluded their labors and the
result has been communicated to
Miss Marsden's London committee,
who will recognize that Miss
Marsden's work must be closed and
that the committee must Immediately
dissolve.
"When, ia December, the commit
tee, WAS formed, Miss Marsden
agreed that if the decision should be
adverse she would surrender all the
decorations, letters, &c, bestowed
upon her by imperial and royal we'll
wishers. 1t is now my painful duty
to call upon her to fulfil her promise.
A written acknowledgement of the
gravest charge has been made by
Miss Marsden. You will thus know
that no possible injustice will be
done her.

lost their lives by drowning; falls had

The Bride Had on Trousers Under
His Dress, and the Floor Gave Way.
Statesboro, Ga, April 2.-Considerable
excitement was created here on yesterday
evening by the report that Mr.. 5. L.
Blackburn. well known young man of
this place, had stolen girl few miles
out in the country and was making for
town TO get married. with the girls father
in hot pursuit with shotgun. 1t was an
nounced that the ceremony was to take
place in about fifteen minutes at the Har
ris hotel Accordingly, Justice Rountree
was sought and asked to tie the knot,
which he readily agreed to do. The news
spread through the town like wild fire,
and by the appointed time the
whole town was out in force
when the supposed bride and groom ar
rived. a little after dark. They were
given a regular reception by the groom's
friends, who had packed the hotel to its
utmost capacity. When the justice got
ready TO perform the ceremony he called
for the license, when gentleman IN the
crowd held up paper of some KIND, and
said, Go ahead. have it here Judge
Rountree started in the most solemn man
ner possible to Join the young couple for
life. When about half through the cere-
mony, the floor Of the hotel suddenly gave
way and dropped about foot,
But the marriage went on just the
same Imagine the embarrassment of the
crowd, as well as of Judge Rountree,
when they found that the whole affair
was huge April fool, and the supposed
bride was none other than Alonzo Mer-
Ger, another well-known young man, who
had dressed up in his sisters clothes.
The boys now console themselves with
the idea that they were not alone in get
ting caught.
