The Knockout Blow.

Big John Kelly ran over to the ropes
where Mitchell was lying, and Corbett was
borne back to his seat. Mitchell hardly
cared to rise, and Kelly's finger went up
and down like the pendulum of clock to
count the seconds that must elapse before
the battle was over.
1t seemed an hour before Mitchell finally
rose to his feet again, and it was danger
ously near the limit of time, butGust be-
fore the gong rang out Mitchell did stand
mp. leaning against the ropes, his face the
counterfeit Of his feelings. Kelly waved
his finger to Corbett, who was seated in
bis corner, and the American champion

Peter jackson TnIkS.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 26.-Peter Jackson, who
is playing a theatrical engagement in this
city, when asked his opinion of the big
fight replied
Il do not want to say too much i%oout
the battle, but let me say emphatically
that Charles Mitchell has proved himself
to be one of the most courageous of men
that ever entered the ring. After this no
body can say that Mitchell is a coward.
Why, he is as game a little man as ever
stepped. l have to fight Corbett next june,
and sincerely hope 1 will be with him. I
will fight him, that's sure, as far as I am
concerned and all goes we'll. He was the
better man yesterday. 1t was not ques-
ton of rounds, but simply case of the
better man winning"

Two Things Without Patents.

The floating dock and the typewriter
are among the many important inven-
tons that were hit upon by men who
have made no attempt to patent their
ideas. A photographer conceived the
idea Of the floating dock before the de-
vice was perfected and put to practical
use, and Il naval officer thought out a
practical typewriter, but was persuaded
by friends to abandon his invention as a
thing that nobody could be induced to
use. New York Sun

Story of the Fight.

1t was short, sharp and decisive fight
too brief to have any of the elements of
savagery in it. 1t was n fOregone conclu-
sion from the moment when the men
stepped to the center of the ring. Corbett's
hatred of the Englishman coming to the
surface inhibited him from shaking hands
with the man who had so uniformly
abused and insulted him. There was all
but murder in Corbett's eyes They faced
each other, and the intense feeling of
hatred almost gave Corbett the fight as he
cornered the Englishman, and as his long
arms shot out with the force of a catapult
there was vengeance in the wind.
Mitchell showed wonderful cleverness in
the beginning in getting out of the close
quarters into which the superior size,
reach and weight of his opponent bore
him, but there was no faltering in Cor
belts plan of campaign, and he slowly
surrounded the Briton, raining in upon
his head and sides shower of savage
punches.
There was despair in NIitchells face as
he tried vainly to elude his agile pursuer,
and finally when Corbett closed with his
opponent in an off corner Mitchell realized
that it was no longer possible for him to
escape the battery of the American.
He pluckily tried to spar, and, failing,
sought to clinch but Corbett finally beat
him off and with sharp blow on the side
of the jaw brought the Englshman on all
tours. 1t was then that the crowd broke
loose in wild shout of applause.

Now York Bridge Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The friends of
the bridge bill have had some difficulty in
deciding between the introduction of a
new bill and an effort to pass the vetoed
bill, Notwithstanding the presidents OBJ
jections. They have now decided upon the
former course. There are some features
in the old bill outside of the question of
piers in the North river, to which the
president objects, which the congressional
managers of the bill think can be changed
to advantage. One of the changes which
is likely to be made is in the clause giving
the secretary of war certain discretionary
powers, which will probably be modified
or stricken out.

MORE ANARCHIST OUTRAGES.
Attempted Murder of the Civil Governor
and Fatal Explosion at BARCELONA.


BARCELONA, Jan. ga dynamite ex-
plosion took place in the Harbor works.
Two persons were killed and several others
injured. The outrage is attributed to an
archists. AS the civil governor was enter
ing his carriage at the entrance to the pre-
lecture a mason fired a pistol at his head
and wounded the governor in the face.
The governors secretary promptly seized
the assailant, who loudly proclaimed him
self an anarchist.
The bullet lodged in the upper part of
the left jaw of the civil governor. The as
sailant is named Morull. He repudiated
any intention to commit murder, but it is
generally believed that his act was out of
revenge for the part which the governor
took in the prosecution of Pallas and other
anarchists.
MADRID, Jan. 26.-The cabinet has been
hastily convened to consider the dynamite

When asked if he intended to challenge
the winner, Sullivan said he had not yet

a match on with Peter Jackson. He would
wait until that was over before deciding
about challenge to Corbett.

crowding fast upon him, Corbett lost his
head, and with the agility of tiger and
the terrible anger of lion he sprang to-
ward the pitible Englishman on the rough
rosined platform, and describing a semi
circle with his right tried to land knock
out blow Twice he tried this, but Mitch
ell's weak and wabbling body saved the
American from foolishly sacrificing the
honor and the glory that have come to him
from his now decisive battle with the Eng
hshman.
There were cries of foul from the crowd,
although the sentiment of the vast throng
was then plainly with the American. Cor
belts seconds, with presence of mind, shot
through the ropes. John Kelly ran to the
side of the downfallen pugilist, and Cor
bett was dragged away.
Mitchell was conscious, and he Knew that
Corbett was standing over him ready to
deal without mercy the blow that should
end the fight. When the Englishman
finally struggled to his feet, Corbett, with
out 1.-THE of pity, pounded his big gloves
into the face of his foe until the latter stag
gered and fell against the ropes and then
lay almost sprawling on the floor, the
blood smeared all over his face. When,
| Mitchell had gotten again to his feet, the
men closed in Corbett's corner, and there
was savage exchange, and when the gong
| sounded the seconds and referee and the
| half dozen in the corner had to pry the en-
| emies apart.
1t was hard work to bring Mitchell up
| again, but Corbett sprang out when the
gong sounded, conscious of his strength
| and supremacy sure of ending in the wink
| ing of an eye the aspirations of his over
| rated antagonist. Mitchell was all but
| showed out to meet the onslaught of his
| rival. There was hardly a moment of
| sparring. Mitchell tried but once-a last
| desperate play-to tackle, but Corbett was
remarkably foxy and alert, and he soon
crowded the poor beaten Briton to the
ropes again; then with another of his mer-
| CHESS jabs he knocked his rival fat on the
floor.
Mitchell was evidently suffering severely,
and his face was the picture of VICE. His
mouth and nose were bleeding, and with
his big gloves he had smeared the blood all
over his face until his appearance was al
most CHASTITY. Again Corbett, losing his
presence of mind, started toward Mitchell,
and again his hands swung out, and again
his seconds ran forward to save him from
nominal defeat.
The Knockout Blow.
Big John Kelly ran over to the ropes
where Mitchell was lying, and Corbett was
borne back to his seat. Mitchell hardly
cared to rise, and Kelly's finger went up
and down like the pendulum of clock to
count the seconds that must elapse before

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Jan. 26-The after.
math to the big prize fight begins today in
the courtroom, where Corbett, the victor:
Mitchell, the vanquished, and dozen or Sc
lesser lights must answer to the charge OF
disturbing the peace. The proceedings are
not regarded in serious light.
This rather tame exhibition of the mai
esty of the law does not interest the sports
in the least. They have seen Corbett, il
three short, vicious rounds, knock out the
Englishman; they have seen the purse OF
100000 handed over to the champion, and
they are getting away with as much haste
as possible.
Neither OF the principals looks today as il
he had been through very fierce battle
This is what they have to say of the affair
What the Foemen Say.
Corbett said in an interview: II never
entered ring in my life, and hope never
again to do so, with more of murder in my
heart than had when got into the Same
ring with Mitchell. 1 had two separate
and distinct battles to win. Some time
since Mitchell applied to me name which
S(Olh W AllII dO lA0 lO"tSU VI
wretches. This was one reason why re-
fused to shake hands with him. The hand
shake would have been the action of
hypocrite. l despise the man for the foul
name he used, and my heart revolted at
the idea of taking such a man by the hand,
even though it is the custom. l notified
the referee not to call upon me to grasp his
hand, for l should decline to do so pub
licly. l am glad that this was spared me.
In cutting Mitchell in the first and second
rounds I won the personal issue; in knock
ing him out in the third round 1 won the
purse and retired Mitchelrs aspirations for
the championship. 1 am proud of both
accomplishments, and with the personal
vindicatiOn and the financial gain l am
content to rest on my oars until next June,
when l hope to demonstrate to people who
think to the contrary that | have a punch
or two left over from this battle for Jack
son."
This is what Mitchell said: 1T is all
over now, and it can't be helped l only
wish I'd been in it a little longer l shall
never fight again. l have no complaints
to make, and l am great deal like the old
saying, I'd been all right except for the
other dog l bear no hard feeling and l
can say that America has reason to be
proud of the greatest fighter who ever
stood in a ring. | don't care who goes
against him; if he keeps his health, he will
never be beaten. l am satisfied that he
can defeat me at any time"
How are you feeling. Charley?" asked
a friend anXiously.
Il am in just as good shape at this mo-
ment as when L went into the ring" re-
piled Mitchell. Il don't know how or
when l got the punch that dazed me, but
after it did not know what l was doing
Corbett is the cleverest man l ever saw,
and his style was complete surprise to
me-
