What the London Papers Say About
the Fight.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-Commenting on
the fight the Star says; "Now that
Corbett has pricked the Mitchell bub-
BILE, we ehall probably hear less about
that cowardly ruffian. The only salts
factory feature of yesterdavs degrading
exhibition is that one blackguard was
we'll whipped; the turn of the other
will certainly come, and then he will be
dropped like hot clnders by the crowd
of roughs who form the body guard OF
the prize ring here and in America.
Mitchell should reserve himself for old
men in the future he is more accus-
toned to that safer department"
The Sun says: "The so-called fight
appears to have been a failure. Every
reasonable person sympathizes with the
governor OF Florida, who was thwsrted
by the Jacksonville municipal authori-
ties, who knew the riotous, drunken,
profane gang of scoundrels would spend
money in their city. Yesterdays show
ought to condemn the eo-cslled noble
art forever"
The St. James Gazette says: 1T was
a most degrading, disgusting business,
without the brutal manliness OF the old
Sayers-Heenan days."
The Standard expresses the opinion
that the fight was "a peculiarly dirty
sample of very dirty business.

Corbett aud Mitchell to Stand Trial in
February.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla Jan. 26 AT $3.50
this morning Corbett and Mitchell ap-
peared before the criminal court OF
record to answer the charges made
against them yesterday. The csse for
the etate was argued by County At
torney Christie and Attorney General
Lamar, while the counsel for the de-
tense were Attorneys Cockrell and
Hsrtridge. The Arguments we're brief
on both sides, and at the conclusion the
defendants were placed under bonds
to appear before the criminal
court the second day Of the term which
will fall on Wednesday, February 28th.
The information filed against Corbett

ing by agreement to fight, and mentions

GERS as encouraging and promoting the
fight contrary to the statute, and against
the peace and dignity of the state.

OF $4,000 each Brady and Thompson,
$500 each.
WILL BE VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED.
The encouragement when asked
about the continuance of the case
against Corbett and Mitchell, said :
"These cases were continued after con-
sultation with Judge Christie, count
solicitor, and we both agreed that this
was the best course to pursue. 1t ia
the determination of the state authori-
ties to convict these parties, if there
is any law for it, and / believe
the law against fighting by appointment
under our statute has been violated. II
Corbett and the others fail to appear at
the trial their bonds will be sued on and
the defendants extradited from the
states where they reside, upon applica-
ton OF Governor Mitchell. The case, at
the proper time, will be vigorously pros
ecnted."

PACIFIC RAILROADS.

Prompt Legislation Needed to Protect
the Governments Interests.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. = Chairman
Reilly OF the house committee on Pacific
railroads has had frequent conferences
with Brice. chairman of the senate
committee on the same subject. They
have seen Secretary Carlisle aud Attor-
ney. General Olney with the view of
determining on some line of legislation
which would meet the complicated con-
dition of affairs on the Pacific roads.
Reilly says the great debt owed by the
roads is so fast maturing that some plan
of legislation by the present congress is
imperative. This view is taken by all
those with whom he has consulted, but
as yet they have reached no agreement
as to what particular line OF action
should be adopted. Reilly hopes. how
ever, that both committees of congress
will soon determine upon a common
policy which will be effective in secur-
ing the government against loss, and at
the same time secure the Pacific rail
roads against action which would be
harmful to them

MARRYING IN HASTE.
How Railroad Man Made Tracks tt

How Railroad Man Made Tracks to
Get License.
A certain prominent employe in the
railroad yards had lively work couple
of days ago to remedy his forgetfulness.
He had made nearly all the arrangements
necessary to enter into the estate of matri-
mony, but as he occupies responsible
position, he wished to make his absence
as short as possible. He therefore
thought, as he was to be married in the
afternoon and go to San Francisco on
the 3-o'clock train, that he would put In
half day at work. He did so, but in
fit of absence of mind he went back to
his work at noon.
All of a sudden, shortly after O'Clock,
it struck him that he had important busi-
ness on hand. and that he had not yet
procured a license to go on with it.
Hastily turning his work over to a fellow
employe, he made bee line on run TO
the Courthouse to interview Deputy
County Clerk Wachhorst.
Eugene happened TO be busy at the
time, and the few minutes the would-be
Benedict had to wait seemed like hours.
However, he was soon made happy by
the strip Of paper, and, donning his best
clothes, fastened 10 the presence of his
best girl. In due time they were safely
joined together in orthodox style.
1t was nearly train time and they were
whirled away to the depot, barely reach
ing it in time to catch the outgoing train.
His friends all hope it will not be case
Of marrying in haste, to repent at leisure;
but it is sure thing that he will have TO
stand considerable 'joshing" from his
mates when he returns.

HICKOVILLB SCHOOL ELECTION.
Trustees State the Other Side of
the Case.
They Demand a Fair and Full InvestI-
cation of the Charges Made
Against Them.

The RECORD UNION on Wednesday
published a communication from resi-
dent of the Hicksville school district.
charging the Trustees of the district with
irregularities in the conduct of the school
election held on the Friday previous.
Last evening two of the Trustees, Messrs.
Hicks and Herbert, called at this office
and asked that their side OF the case be
given TO the public.
Mr.. Hicks said: "The communication
sent you contains several false statements,
which | desire to correct. The first
charge is that Trustees Hicks, Herbert
and Claussen entirely ignored the law
requiring the appointment of inspector
and two judges. They acted in this ca
pacity themselves, the outgoing Trustee
(Hicks) being inspector. Now, the fact
is that at the time OF the opening OF the
polls, about twenty minutes after II
O'Clock, Mr.. Herbert and myself were the
only persons present. Such has been the
case ever since l have been there-about
twelve years. There has been nobody
there except the Trustees to act as inspec-
tors and Judges. There is no law against
Trustees acting, and if they there was
there would not be an election in one out
OF ten of the school districts. If there is
nobody else there to act how would an
election be held if the Trustees do not
act That is all there is to that charge.
1.-The next charge is that One elector,
Doneher, presented his vote for McEn-
erney; it was in the handwriting of c. l..
Donaldson. The vote was refused, and
Doneher was told to write his own name.
This ambiguous phrase he interpreted to
mean his own signature, which he gave,
and it was recorded as his vote.' That
statement is absolutely false. Doneher
was handed a blank paper and Mr..
Claussen told him to write upon it the
name of the man he wanted to vote for.
It appears he voted for himself.
'rhen your correspondent charges that
John Green, q cook, who for nearly two
years past has lived and is now living on
the Ralph Miles ranch, in the Alabama
School District, voted at Hicksville. Be-
ing in the employ OF one Of the election
officers, who farms that ranch. ignorance
cannot be pleaded for having accepted
Green's vote.' Green has worked for me
nearly two years. He has been resi-
dent of the district for over twenty years
and has never voted anywhere else. He
is registered from that district and enti-
tied to vote there.
'Now, l want to have these charges
fully Investigated, whether in the shape
of a contest OF the election or in any other
way that will bring out the facts. l want
the party who sent these charges to your
paper to come forward and substantiate
them If he can. The election was fair and
regular and l want to have the oppor-
tunity to establish the fact.o
