people were thoroughly In earnest in their
stand. Adjutant General Houston, when
asked tonight as 10 what orders he would
Issue to the militia now in Jacksonville,
said until lie received instructions from
Goyernor Mitchell he would have nothing
tc say in the matter.
The troops are now in the hands OF the
sheriff" he said. "and lie is practically IN
command. As his hands are now tied,
suppose the militia Will remain hero until
definite orders are received from the gov

JOY IN JACKSONVILLE.
Tho sympathilers with the contest pro-
moters had the town this afternoon, after
the decision of Judge Call issuing an in
junction restraining the sheriff from in-
tericring with the contest. When the
words maintaining tho injunction fell
from the lips OF the judge there was
mad rush for tho telegraph Office, and the
news went over the town like wIld!lre. AT
the rooms OF the Duvhl Athletic club the
crowd was SO great that ii took half a
dozen men to keep pathway open Tor
pedestrians. The demand for tickets was
such that nothing but system prevented
wild confusion and a crush. Finally a
scheme was arranged by which the men
went in one at q time, finding egress ut
another door, and tho stream of ticket
buyers was continuous for hours. The
club men did not forget TO advertise their
victory. Half an hour after the decision.
a band wagon, with brass band and
having on il streamcrs announcing tho
Corbett-Mtchell fight for tomorrow at l
o'clock, rolled into Bay street from a side
alley and was greeted by volleys OF cheers
as the band played lively airs. The cheers
swelled as the wagon proceeded up the
street, aud in front Of the principal hotels
and saloons was given an ovation. The
wagon then proceeded through the resi-
dence portion of the city, where hundreds
Of people crowded out 10 see it.
MITCHELL Is MODEST.
Mitchell was able to dodge the crowd
which awaited HIM at Jacl ,onviile and
was driven to hoiel, where he was locked
up all the afternoon. His work to-day
consisted only OF fve-milc walk on the
beach, followed by a rub down. This
morning he weighed lo2,,. pounds and is
in condition for the fight of his h.e.

retired shortly before 10. He bounded up
stars to his bedroom, three steps at a
time, and with good night, sweetheart"
to his wife, he closed the door behind him
and 10 minutes later was sleeping rest
fully. This morning, with four co!lies. he
walked down TO the beach and amused
himself. A barber came down from the
settlement and the famous ponpadour
was carefully trimmed. Brady left al
daylight for Jacksonville TO attend the
injunction proceedings. and Corbett con

with news. II was intended originally tina,
the whole Corbett party should leave be-
