jacksonville, Fla, January IS
The Duval Athletic Club has played
its last card in the contest it has been
wagin9 with Governor Mitchell and
mas lost. The card consisted OF the
personal appeal by Manager Bowden
to the Governor, begging him to
cease his opposition and allow the
club TO pull off the Corbett-Mitchell
mill publicly i'll Jacksonville. But
the Governor was obdurate and told
Bowden that the fight should not
take place in Jacksonville or Florida
if he could prevent it.
Nothing is left the Club now but
10 make arrangements for bringing
Mitchell and Corbett together in the
woods. As vas stated in tn dis
patches long ago, secret fight has
been the only resource left the cub
ever since governor AtCchtii an
nounced his opposition. Manager
Buwden's advice for "alI those who
decire to witness the fight to assem-
bic in jacksonville on or before

indication that the Club people have

BATH, Me-, Jan eo.-One Of the most
disastrous fires In the history Of the city
broke ont In the Sagadahock House sta.
bles and burned for several hours. A large
part OF the business portion of the city was
completely gUttod, about 29 buildings be-
ing destroyed. The fire spread so rapidly
that the fire department was wholly un-
qble 10 cope with it, equipped as IL is with
but three steam engines. Calls for assist
ance 70 Portland and Lewiston brought
steamers, and two hand engines were sent
from Brunswick The water pipes were
frozen or broken, but few Of the hydrants
could be used, and it was some time be-
fore effective work could be done.
The fire communicated TO the hotel from
the stables, and the house, which is the
leading hostelry of the city, was quickly
Quilted. The adjoining buildings were soon
In flames, and before the fire could be con-
trolled half a million dollars worth OF
property was destroyed.
Besides the Sagadahock House there
were burned the Lincoln National bank,
the Marine Nationa, bank and several
stores. Several society halls, insurance,
lawyers and doctors offices and dwelling

KIDNAPPING CASE.
Think Little Eddie Is Dead or Is Being
Held For Ransom.

WMKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan 29-There
seems but little reason to doubt that Eddie
Brotherston, the l0-year-old boy who dis
appeared from his home in Ashley 10 days
ago, was kidnapped and that he has either
been murdered or is being held for ransom.
The community is at fever heat over the
case and Is showing in many ways its
sympathy for the half crazed parents of
the missing boy.
A large sum OF money was raised by the
friends OF Mr.. Brotherston to be devoted
to the payment of detectives TO prosecute
the search, and the neighbors turned out
en- masse and secured the mountain side
above Ashley in an unsuccessful effort to
find some trace of the lad.
All the searohers returned weary and
foot sore after having dragged every pond
and ransacked every nook and corner in
the vicinity In which it was possible that
the body might have been concealed
Detectives have been scnt in a dozen diff
ferent directions TO run down rumors that
the boy had been seen in company with his
abdhctors. An Italian organ grinder
named Rieco has been arrested in Scran.

any such statement.
