News of tho Injunction Takes the Red
Uots OF Gotham,
New York, Jan. 24-As soon as the news
of the injunction granted by Judge Call at
Jacksonville was received at the Hoffman
house the talent present was highly elated
IL reply to an Associated press reporters
questions, Billy Edwards said ~ am very
glad the Injunction has been granted, and
that the men will have a chance to show
their respective abilities ] expect II will
be long and close fight. Mitchell will
probably find that he has met man who Is
quite his equal If not more than he. After
twenty rounds, the fight not being decided,
the better slayer will win, and nave plenty
of money at the rate OF 2 TO | which says
Corbett will be the victor"
Sam Emery, who is known all over the
country as u keen sporting man, when seen
tonight said $50 you say there VIII be
fight after all the distractions! ] am glad
of 1t. If some enterprsng man would open
n book and make the odds to and take
your pick, | would rather lay 1 against
Z to any amount that it would be draw
rather than take either man TO win. ! GER
talnly favor Corbett, but | am satisfied that
Mitchell will put up big fight and some of
his famous jabs will feel like mule kicks TO
Corbett."
John Hackett, who was interested in the
fight between Jcm Mace and Tom Allen,
was sitting beside sam Emery and said;
II the fight is fight to finish it's an equal
chance for both men. They are both good
and they know exactly what they are
about"
Dave Holland when seen was in deep
meditation. "Well Dave, what do you
think of the fight?" asked the Asso lated
press man.
"Well, hear it's coming off and you car
just say for me that there is only one man
in 1t. Corbett will win inside of fifteen
rounds. am glad the contest is to come off,
as it will decide which is the better man and
will also relieve me of the responsibility of
being the holder of bet made year ago
between Billy Madden and Jim Hall. Mad
den bet Hail 300 even that Mitchell would
never fight Corbett. / am friend of both
contestants, but | will say this much, no
matter how long the fight lasts, be it fifteen
or twenty rounds, CorbeJt will win"
From reliable source it is learned that
Billy Madden is of the opinion Corbett will
be the victor. This opinion of the man who
first brought Mitchell before the American
people may throw some light on the possible
outcome of tomorrows contest.

before the big fight, opened with q haze
enveloping the Corbctt tent at daybrcak
Corbett retired early last night. After II
heavy supper the American tistic premier
sat down at game of whist Billy Delaney
and Sidney Ashe arrayed themselves against
Lou Housoman and the champion, the
honors falling TO the latter pair. Corbett
retired shortly before 10 o'clock, with as
little concern for the battle ahead as though
it was still far off. He bounded upstairs TO
his bedroom three STEPS at d time and with
II Goodnight, sweetheart to his wife
closed the door behind him and ten minutes

Delaney, Donaldson, Brady, john Mont
gomery, Ward and Mrs. Corbett were up
and about long before Corbett awakened
He had no work ahead now until he entered
the ring, With his four colles he walked
down TO the beach and amused himself. A
barber came down TO the settlement, and by
II o'clock the famous pompadour was care
fully trimmed
Brady left early for Jacksonville to attend
the Injunction proceedings and Corbett con
tented himself in waiting for his return
with the news. 1t was intended originally
that the whole party leave before sunrise
this morning, but the legal phase brought
with 10 change and the camp is now
IN readiness to disappear on orders from the
club.
JIm's Only Worry.
Corbett is worried only over the possi-
billty OF the match being called off or post
poned, lie imagines something will crup
out at the last moment which will deny him
the chance of measuring his reach with the
Brlton. There is an air of buOyancy about
the big fellow which is foreign to the man
who Stimulates or affects unconcern. He
wants to get Mitchell before him.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 24-Martial law will
not be declared. Governor Mitchell has
seen a great light and Attorney General
Lamar this evening received telegram from
him to the above effect.
This has been the prevalent opinion, but
for fear the governor might not stand by
hls declaration several members of the city
council of Jacksonville held q quiet con-
ference this evening" and after thoroughly
canvassing the situation decided that Gov
ernor Mitchell should not be allowed to usurp
the police functions of the city without
reason. They argued that In view of today's
decision there was no warrant for the gov
ernor to proceed further, and that the only
action he could properly take now would be
to send his troops home. 1t was decided to
have call issued for special session of the
entire city council at an early hour tomor-
row morning to consider the extraordinary
situation in all its phases
Just what action would be proposed could
not be learned, but tie Associated press
representative was informed by one well
qualified to speak, thai resolutions would
be presented setting forth the matter, the
threatened Infringement of the rights and
dignity of the city by the action OF Gov
ernor Mitchell, and proposing ample meas
ures to meet any action which might be
taken by him.

any further arbitrary steps fun might be
looked for"
Adjutant General Houston, when asked
tonight to what orders he would issue to
the militia now here, said that until he re-
ceiyed instructions from Governor Mitchell
he would have nothing to say in the matter.
"1he troops are now in the hands of the
sheriff" he said, land he is practically in
command. AS his hands are now tied,
