LOOK OUT, CoRBETT
That kaleidoscope Fight May Cause
an Indictment.
New York Journal.

New York Journal.
The chances of an Indictment
for the Corbett- Courtney knock
out fight for the Edison kintroscope
are enough to cause those pugilists
considerable worry.
In the Essex County Court, at
Newark, yesterday, Judge Depue
made very strong address to the
Grand Jury on the subject of the
fight at the Edison laboratory, in
Orange, where Corbett and Court
ney fought a Surround Knockout
fight for $1,000, with $3.50 to the
loser. Judge Depue based his adj
dress on the newspaper descrip-
tions of the fight.
"If the reports Of this matter
are correct, there has undoubtedly
been a violation of the criminal
law" he said, "under the preteXt
Of scientific experiments.
at will be your duty to take
notice of it, no matter what COLA
teral purpose, what incidental
motives parties may have had in
view in conducting these viola
tions Of the law.
1.-THE criminal laws apply to all
classes OF the community, and a
man may as we'll do murder for
the sake of scientific investigation
as violate any other laws for in
quiries and experiments Of this
character.
81 really hope that these reports
are exaggerated, but l will ask you,
gentlemen, to investigate them
and il, as appears very probable
there has been a violation of the
law, the court will certainly expect
from this Grand Jury that it will
be followed by an Indictment, nc
matter who are the parties con
cerned."
1t was the opinion about the
Court House that the Grand Jury
would indict Corbett and Court
ney and those who were RESPONSE
hle for the fight taking place a.
Edison's.
By the terms Of the agreement
Corbett was to knock his man out
in six rounds or forfeit all claim
to the purse.
Courtney first started to fore,
the fighting. He rushed savagely
at Corbett and swung a heavy
right for the jaw, which Corbett
ducked neatly. In the sixth round
Corbett went right to work, and il
very few moments Courtney wa
down and unable to rise.
The fight lasted just six minutes
not counting the intermissions.

to advocate the claim of some Individual

riots began in the prefectural town of Tung

The mob appeared In Shuklung on June 10
and pulled down the church. Luckily all
the missionaries escaped, but a Chinese
convert, kiang Lap, who was overtaken,
was beaten to death, and his body thrown
into the river. Several Christian families
in the vicinity were subjected to indignities
and robbed. Some soldiers then appeared
On the scene and effected the arrest of two
rioters.
The next point Of attack was the Roman
Catholic Church. Those inside the church
fired at the mob AMI held them at bay for
scne time. At this juncture a squad of
soldiers came and dispersed the mob, thus
saving the building from sharing the same
tate as the American church.

THE GILLS TROUBLES.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gill, Senior, File Answer
to Their Sons Suit.

In the suit in equity recently brought by
William S. Gill for an Injunction against
Alexander j. GILL; Theresa NJ. Gill and
Florenc, H. Mccartney the defendants
have filed their answers. Alexander ].
Gill states that he Left a lucrative
position in Pittsburg at the instance of his
son, the complainant, and came to this
city and engaged in the manufacturing
part of the business of Gill & Son, while
the complainant had entire charge of the
financial and selling part of the business
The latter KEEP the books of the firm, and
it is averred that there was no accurate
account kept of the affairs of the business
but that the records consisted merely of
pocket memoranda. The bookkeeping was
practical farce. the father claims as
most of the accounts were kept in small
book, which his son carried in vest
pocket. The Indebtedness of the firm is
nearer 5000 than $1,000 this defendant
AYERS. and further says that If he had an
honest accounting of the receipts and prof
its from February Z. 1891. to July 10, 1894,
the concern would not now be insolvent.
1t is denied by Mr.. Gill, ST.. that he de-
signed to acquire without consideration the
good will of the business; that 1t Is in any
way whatever Of sound financial value
that he Is In possession of the property be-
longing to the firm of Gill & Son; that
there Is anything in the establishment Of
any value whatever. and that there are
good debts due the firm amounting to $780,
Theresa NJ. Gill, the mother, after relat-
ing that her husband and herself left Pitts
burg to engage In business In this city at
the solicitation OF William 8. Gill, and de-
scribing the details OF meeting promissOry
notes signed by her son and the particulars
Of the recent sale Of the business, goes on
to say that there is no collusion upon her
part whatsoever to injure her son in his
business affairs. The lady charges that
through the Encouragement and extrava-
gance Of her son the business has been en-
tirely ruined and his father and herself
almost financially ruined with it. 1t is
also stated that the disagreement in bust
ness is contained in this state Of affairs
rather than on account of any petty matter
concerning the employment Of a clerk and
because, as manager of the concern, the
complainant has swamped 1t beyond the
possibility Of recovery. In conclusion Mrs
Gill says that she Is the owner by purchase
of the property in question, and as Gill &
Son has been legally dispossessed Of the
store, she arrS nged to lease it herself and
has engaged her husband to manufacture
candy to be sold upon the premises.
The matter will come up in court on
Monday morning next.

EFFECT OF WESTERN RAINS.
They Made Grain Easier on the Chi
caRO Market.

CHICAGO, August 11.-Grains opened
easier today on account of more or less
heavy showers throughout most of the corn
belt outside of Kansas, but the government
crop report made just after the close Of the
board yesterday was bullish and cables were
firm and these factors together with buy
ing orders from the outside, caused the
market to turn firm. But business was
light, owing to an indisposition to carry
trades over SUNDAY, in view of the possibili-
ties of the weather in the meantime, and
fluctuations were confined to narrow limits.
September wheat opened SEC TO 50 1-4c.,
