The County Solicitor, Judge Christie, i'm
whose hand the prosecution lies, returned
from Tallahassee, where he had been
to get further instruction from
Governor Mitchell. Junge Christie
said this morning, that the governor had
decided to let the matter rest as it is at
present as far as he himself is concerned.
His orders to the sheriff have been
issued. They consisted sof the instruc-
tions to prevent breaking OF the law and
to use every means at his command to
accomplish such an end. 1t is understood
that the efforts OF the Duval Athletic
club are now directed toward convincing
the sheriff that no law will be broken il
the fight takes place. The Duval club say
that they will issue their long looked for
statement tonight, in which they will con-
vince the world that the battle will come

landed at Anastasia island.
1t is supposed that it is to be used in the
construction of an arena, which will be
erected on government property and used
in case the fight becomes an impossibility
in Jacksonville.
Tne Duval people say that they know
nothing of the proceedings, but it is
thought that the lumber was shipped by
their orders.

TERMINAL FACILITIES.
More Transfers Must Pass Between the
Railroads and the CITY.


The next important feature in the fur
therance OF the plan for improved rail-
road terminals is the transfer of a strip Of
land TO the New York and New England
Railroad company west of the
center line of old Gaspee street
included in what is now designated
as the old city yard for the temporary con-
struction of freight houses, yards and
connections pending the erection of the
new union depot. This tract involves
some 100000 feet, and under the argu-
inents with the city they were
to abandon their present location
within year from the time of the exc
cution of the contract. The time limit
will expire next spring and in the mean
time the new city yard will have been
completed, and the transfer OF movable in
cumbrances on the land will have been ef-
fected. There is also another strip of land
which will be transferred to the same cor
poration by the payment OF the sum of
$3.50, 900 into the city treasury. The cor
-porstion is given a period of five years in
which to buy the land, and i'm the mean
time interest at per cent.
and taxes are to be borne by the
road. The Consolidated road Is decided
the land abandoned by the New England
for the purpose of building approaches to
the union depot,and hence the imperative
necessity OF prompt compliance by the
corporationswith the terms of the contract
to facilitate the details involved i'm the
plan. Consequently the movement
of the merchants of the city to influence
the court to countenance the endorsement
OF the bonds of the Springfield road with
which the interests of the New England
are vitally identified, is timely and signi-
fioant in that ii will materially aid the
New England in fulfilling its obligations
with the city and thus remove obstacles
in the early consummation OF the terminal
problem.
