stopped him with right handler in the
ribs Once more Mitchell tried his
duck lead for the body and plunged
against a right hand uppercut that
staggered him. Gamely he charged on
Corbett again, and this time the cham
pion banged him on the jaw with his
right, knocking him down in a sitting
position. Corbett was on top poised
above Mitchell like an angry hawk.
Slowly and craftily the Briton turned
round, balancing himself with both
hands on the floor. He paused mo-
ment, then got his,left foot under him.
With a last effort at his usual sheer
ing tactics he looked upward and
winked and grinned at his Infatuated
conquerOr.
CORBETT FIGHTING MAD.
CorbetJ's temper could not be con-
trolled. He swung his right fist in an
upper cut that would have ended the
business then and there if it had
landed. As it was, the blow barely
grazed Mitchel's cheek.
In an instant Delaney, Dempsey and
McVey rushed into the ring and
caught Corbett. who struggled with
them like a madman. Big McVey
seized his right wrist and was swung to
and flo like a child. Referee Kelly
stood between the champion and his
victim He began TO slowly count
Mitchell out, while Delaney screechetl
in Corbett's ear, You d-fool, do
you want to commit foul and stop the
fight?"
Corbett backed away. Very slowly
and warily Mitchell then got up. He
rushed at Corbett and clinched. Cor
bett punched his body with the right
fist and bored him back to the ropes
AS they hung there the gong changed
the end of the second round. Mitch
ellis seconds yelled that Corbett had
committed a foul
NO FOUL" SAYS KELLY.
Il did not see any FOUL" shouted
Referee Kelly.
More astonished than ever Mitchell
wandered out of his corner for the
third round. Corbett pounced on him.
| The Englishman clinched. Corbett
backed away and broke his nose with
right handed half swinging blow
Mitchell came away slowly from the
ropes and Corbett again landed his
right on the nose, fattening it and
causing the blood to gush out freely.
Down went Mitchell; his back to the
ropes. AS ne GrleQ 10 arise from d SlU-
| ting posture he toppled over on his
face. His head rocked from side to
side. Game to the last, he was con
scious of only one thing. He must get
up and fight.
| He threw his arms back and clutched
the ropes. AS he began to straighten
| himself up Corbett Was still standing
in his own corner, whittier he had re-
treated when Mitchell fell.
KNOCKED OUT.
| At the moment Mitchell stood erect
and tottered from the ropes Corbett
was upon him with bound like an
aLgry panther. Once more that swift
right fist crashed upon Mitchell's
broken nose and the Englishman leaped
forward convulsively as if he had been
shot.
His body seemed to collapse as he
plunged face downward. His forehead
struckathe floor first and scraped along
the powdered rosin as his powerful
| body Strengthened.
Referee Kelly counted ten seconds
and declared Mitchell out. His seconds
carried him, limp as a bag of flour, te
his corner. and propped him up on his
stool. 1t was long time before he
was revived.
! Corbett left the ring laughing.

Murder at Clifton Forge

At Clifton Forge, Va, at about 6
o'clock Saturday morning, Jan. Goth,
says the Monroe Waterman, while a
crew were making up a freight train
near what is known as the "Old G.. and
0. ROundhouse," the lifeless body of
Fred. Bond, well-known young
machinist employed in the G.. ard o..
ssops was found dangling to a car,
having been dragged considerable
distance. The young man was last
seen in company with two other men
about II O'Clock Friday night. Coroner
E. A. Snead impaneled jury and an
inquest was held Saturday afternoon.
After hearing the testimony the follow
ing verdict was rendered =
THAT the deceased came to his
death from injuries inflicted by per-
sons unknown to the jury
The prevailing opinion is that young
Bond was murdered and then placed
under the car. He was a member of
the International Machinists' Associ-

The Legislature.

In the House of Delegates on We'd
nesday, Jan. Gath, the discussion of the
fertilizers bill came up as special Or
der at o'clock. The new bill provides
that tax of ten cents per ton shall be
levied on fertilizers instead of the spe
cific license tax of 800 on every person
engaged in the manufacture of fertil-
iZers.
Mr.. Koiner, of Augusta, in support
ing the bill, said that annually two or
three million dollars went out of the
State for the purchase of fertilizers
from large outside manufacturers. He
further said that there were now lob
byists here from Baltimore working to
defeat the bill, as they knew well that
its passage would decrease the sales of
fertilizers from that State to the farm
ers of Virginia. He stated that several
of the smaller manufacturers of fertil
izers of this State, who were farmers,
often had shipped to them a few car
loads of chemicals, and made enough
fertilizer for their own use and then
sold the balance to their neighbors.
That they could afford to pay IA tax of
10 cents per ton. but could not pay the
license tax of 800 to make few hun
dred tons.
Mr.. Withrow, of Bath, opposed the
measure, taking the ground that no
goo would come 10 the farmers By It's
passage. Mr.. Pitcher also opposed the
bill and said that the law as it now
stood was entirely satisfactory. The
bill was made special order for next
Tuesday-yesterday.
The Senate took up the local option
bill. though with evident reluctance
on the part of most members. The
amendment to the bill proposes to ex-
enpt from local-OptiOn all towns of
9, 500 inhabitants and more. The vote
was taken on this amendment, but a
quorum did not vote and the Senate
very gladly adjourned.
This bill was to come up for cOnsid-
GRAFTON on TursdaI yesterday.
Mr.. Miller Introduced bill 70 create
the Office OF road engineer for the State
of Virginia The bill provides that the
engineer shall investigate and submit
to the Governor and Legislature on or
| before December 1, 1895, aud every two
years thereafter IL report OF the cOndi-
ton of the roads of the State and the
best method of improving them. He
shall also superintend the building of
roads in the various counties of the
State wherever such roads are to be
built and his services are required.
In the House of Delegates on Friday,
Hon. &. w. Koiner of Augusta, offered
a measure to amend the Code so as to
provide for the appointment of femal lie
physicians in the famale wards of the
asylums of this State. A similar meas
ure was defeated at the late session.
but Mr.. kOiner is now very hopeful of
! getting this bill passed.

The breach in the ranks of the demo
cratic party of the House of Representa-
tives, caused by the decision of the
majority in favor of making the inter
nal revenue provisions an amendment
to the Wilson tariff bill, has been clos
ed to large extent by the resignation
of the opponents of the income tax,
who, rather than jeopardize the cause
of tariff reform, will vote for the Wilson
bill even if the internal revenue meas
ure is attached to it. The assent OF
those democratic Representative who
dislike the income tax to support the
Wilson bill in the shape it will be pre-
sented to the House of Representatives
from the committee of the whole was
the result of the efforts of Chairman
Wilson and Speaker Crisp to save the
tariff bill from the danger by which it
was threatened by the dispute the in
come-tax proposition aroused. Rep
resentative W. Bourke Cochran, OF
New York. will support the tariff bill
even if it carries the income tax. There
seems to be no longer doubt that the
Wilson tariff bill will pass the House OF
Representative in the same condition
it was left Saturday. Opponents OF
the internal revenue bill will make a
spirited fight to have that measure
considered alone, but if defeated will
accept the result and vote for tariff
reform.

Last Years Hay Trade.

In reviewing 1898, the Hay Trade
Journal says: with this product
the year 1898 has been a peculiar one.
and one of great disappointment to
those engaged in it. The year began
with good prices and conditions, the
outlook for a satisfactory year was
favorable, which conditions continued
till June, when the report from Europe
to the effect that large quantities of
American hay would be needed to feed
the Atlantic. This report was faith
fully circulated by the newspapers,
and caused a stampede $50 to speak,
among men WHO knew little of the hay
trade, which soon extended to the
farming community throughout the
United States and Canada, causing a
scale of prices to be established based
on the panic prices of Europe. The
extent OF the hay producing area of
the United States and Canada not
having been accurately measured or
fully understood by those entering
this new field of speculation, SO sud-
denly brought into prominence by the
reported disaster in Europe, caused
surprise in the volume of goods that
came forward, not only from the States
and Canada, but also from Australia.
the Argentine, and other countries,
which quickly satisfied the needs of
Europe, causing a break in prices be-
low those ordinarily obtained in years
of good crops, while this break occur
red in Europe from which the markets
have not fully recovered.) Panic
prices are still prevailing on this side
among he farmers, which has, instead
of making the year 1898 favorable
one to the dealers as it promised at its
beginning has made it one in which
this vast product has been handled
with little or no profit and constant
uncertainty, and has opened up new
territory that probably would not have
been developed as hay-producing for
market, but which will no doubt con-
tlhuo w d COI tdiu oAoOuu W pun SOOuo
upon the markets in the future. This,
together with the curtailment of de-
mand in all American cities, owing to
electricity superseding horse power on
our street railways, and the prospec-
tive reduction of duty from 81 to So
per ton, does not give the trade of 1894
| a very brilliant outlook so far as high
prices are concerned. The prices going
off so rapidly in Europe proves that
whatever may occur over there can
only be temporary, and that we must
| depend upon our American markets
| for an outlet"

How the Money Goes.

The Manufacturers Gazette, of Bos-
ton, notes that pensions paid by the
government amount to more than the
cost of our civil and military establish
ments together. The government of
the United States could run its military
and naval establishments for two years
on the amount that is now required to
pay pensions for one year " Over "a
per cent of the governments expendi
ture is for pensions. Our outgo for this
purpose is over twice as great as that
of all the rest of the world put togeth
er. The New York Herald estimates
that some scores of millions are paid
to persons not entitled to pensions,
even under the ridiculous pension laws.
