New YORK, February 24.-It was
known that jim Corbett would not be
at the Madison Square Garden until
nearly midnight because he had to ap-
pear in Gentleman Jack" in Harlem
but there was nevertheless a crowd Of a
thousand people around the Garden
doors soon after dark this evening who
wanted to see the champion fighter and
give MIN one more greeting.
This wish was enhanced By the
knowledge that James J. was to put up
his hands at the same time Charley
Mitchell presented his, in scene that
was. according to the mansgement's
promise, to be reproduction of sur
roundings in q certain recent event at
Jacksonville. The show had been ar
ranged by the New York World, to
augment that papers free bread fund
and fine programme had been ar
ranged.
Boxing bouts comprised the majority
OF numbers, bat strong men such as
Attlla, who has given Corbett points on
how TO get strong, Wrestlers like Null
doom and Polher and Hugh Leonard
and Prof. B. A. McFadden, OF ST.
Louis and broad sword scrapper Dun
can C. Ross and Prof. Zarlimi, were on
the bill.
Nearly 5000 persons were in the Car
den at o'clock. MuIdoon and Roeher
wrestled In GrecO-Roman style for ten
minutes without scoring a fall.
Hugh Leonard and Prof. B. A. Nc
| Fadden wrestled catch-as-catch-can for
ten minutes without securing fall.
Duncan c. Ross engaged in broad
sword combat with F. S. Costellano, OF
Brooklyn. Ross easily scored five body
blows in succession.
George Dixon.got a rousing reception
when he was introduced TO spar Eddie
Loeber, OF Brooklyn. Three rounds
we're enough for Eddie and he retired
breathing hard.
Corbett in pink shirt, white knicker-
bockers and blue stockings now
mounted the stage and the crowd re-
ceived him royalty, but no more cor
daily than they did Mitchell, who fol-
! lowed him. When the men
we're introduced they we're again
cheered about equally, and John
Kelly, the Jacksonville referee,
and Snapper Garrison, the time-
keeper, also came in for a whack OF
the applause. A speech was many times
demanded from the champion. but jim
would only bow. The men spared four
friendly and short rounds, during which
Mitchell was scarcely able to touch
Corbett, except at close quarters. The
Engllshman was repeatedly advised TO
get an axe" but things went of
smoothly.
1t was announced that Ftzsimmons
had challenged Peter jackson, and
tha. Parson Davies had replied that he
would match Joe Choynski against
Fitzsimmons for $4,000, or against
Denver" Ed. Smith for the same
amount.
After that, the big house which had
yielded $4,000 to the end desired, dis
solved.

WELLBURG, w. VA, February "a
At a special meeting CT the County
Court, held here to-day, an order was
entered, prohibiting Prosecuting Attor-
nev Cotton from continuing his suit
against S. George, reiorred TO In the
REGISTER dispatch several days ago,
for the recovery OF 81, 500, which Cotton
seemed TO think was due the county.
The order also prohibits him from
employing counsel without the authorl-
ty OF the court.
The Court and all concerned had en-
tered into verbal agreement at
former meeting that no execution
should be issued on any OF Curtl5s
bondsmen before the first Of June.
This was done because Of the condition
of business, money being very hard 20
secure. and as the boudsmen desired
that time in which to raise the money.
Considerable Of the amount had been
paid, aud as the bondsmen all have good
propert7 the Court decided that they
would not push them at hat time, which
would have compelled them TO
have sold at sacrifice and caused them
and possibly the county uncalled-tor
loss. The Court in view Of this sgree-
ment had not intended entering suit at
this time. The Court stated that 10 did
not propose to back down one particle
from It's intention TO get all for the
county from the boudsmen that II

Mr.. Cotton, who has been 80 indus

good deal OF assistance in their prose-
cution. During the past year the Court
has paid out 81, 100 for assistant coun-

70 GET A QUORUM
A Democratic Caucus to Formulate a

WASHINGTON, D. c., February "a
The call for a caucus OF Democrats TO
agree upon a rule for recording mem
bers present but not voting, in order to
make a quorum, is growing in favor.
The call now bears the names OF 122
Democrats. 1t was handed TO Repre-
sentative Holman, chairman Of the eau
Gus. Members say that this matter
must be settled within their party as
soon as the Bland bill has been disposed
Of.
Representative Paynter, OF Ken
tucky, who started the call has drawn
up a new rule which he thinks over
comes the objections Of many members
70 his draft Of rule for recording those
present and not voting without hning
them. This rule incorporates a new
principle, that the affirmative votes on
q call must be a majority Of those Of
fcially recorded, both as voting and as
present and not voting in order that the
vote shall be a legal one to decide the
pending question. The proposed rule
is as follows:
"But should quorum fail to vote,
and the point DO made that no quorum
had voted, there shall be call OF the
House, and the yeas and nays on the
pending question shall at the same tlms
be ordered. The clerk shall call the
roll. and each member as he answers
TO his name, or is brought before the
House under the proceedings OF
the call Of the House,
shall vote on the pending question.
IL the member fails to vote or refuses
when present to answer 70 his name,
then any member can announce TO the
speaker that a member giving his Dame)
is Dresent and failed TO vote, or answer
to his name on such call; tbsreupon the
speaker shall direct the clerk 10
note the name of such member
on the journal as present. II those
voting On the question and those de-
clipipE to vote or answer TO their names
shall together make a majority OF the
House, then the Speaker shall declare
that quorum is constituted and the
pending question shall be decided, pro-
vidiRg the affirmative vote is majority
of those voting and those present and
not voting"
Three propositions for q new rule
have been drafted which will find sup
porters in the caucus, that devised by
Journal Clerk Crdtchfeld for fning
members one days pay. the resolution
by Representative DeArmond, of Mis-
souri,, for fine Of $50 and the latest
plan OF Representative Paynter. But
none Of these can be made effective for
breaking the present deadlock, be-
cause the caucus will not meet until
