JACKSON 1 U0RBETT.


Says the Champion HAS Been Stav-
ting Him OF ALI AIong.
BosToH, April 80, 1s94-"Td like to tie
Corbett down to something definite, said
Peter jackson. the sable champion Of Aus
tralia and England, who arrived in Boston
last night with his manager, .sParson'
Davies, from Cleveland. "Corbett has been
staving me off ever since we met in Cali
fornia," continued jackson. During that
time he has managed to find time to fight a
couple Of other men, but he has been too
busy to attend to me, although | have been
knocking at his door all the time. II he
wants to say quit l will; but I'm anxious
to have it out with him. and then be done,
win or lose.
II suppose that he will be quite willing to
fight mo some time, but what is his some
time when Pm too old to give him tit for
tatg"
s'Parson' Davies, when asked if the art
icles signed in Chicago On July IL Of last
year, which called for the match between
Corbett and jackson to be decided between
the 10th and Goth Of june of this year, held
good, simply shrugged his shoulders and re-
rnarked;-"Corbett Is champion and he is
white. I'm afraid that it is a case OF 10000
men marched up hill and down again"
Seven thousand dollars are now up IN the
hands of the temporary stakeholder. The
last deposit Of So, 900 is due May IL. Jack
sons money will be put up, and there seems
to be nosdoubt in the minds of either Jack
son or Davies that Corbett will make good.
There are many loopholes in the articles OF
agreement, however.

BRAKEMAN ooNNoRs SUIT.

Wants $4,000 From h Jersey
Central for the Loss of a Limb.
In the Circuit Court today the trial began
of the suit to recover damages which was
brought by Anthony Connors against the
Central Railroad of New Jersey for injuries
received. Connors, who lives at Bayonne,
was employed as a brakeman on a coal
train. While acting in that capacity sew
cral months G a brake chain broke and
threw Connors beneath the wheels of the
car. His right leg was crushed so much
that it was necessary to amputate it to save
his life. He is. as a result, permanently in
jured.
At Connors' request Wallis, Edwards &
Bumsted sued the company for $4,000
damages, and it came up for trial today,
when ex-Judge McDermott, on behalf'of the
company, asked The Court for a non-suit on
the ground that the car on which Connors
he'd been employed belonged to the Wilkes
barre Coal Company, and that the Central
Railroad Company only owned the engine
that was used in shunting the cars. At the
time the accident happened the car Connors
was on was being drawn to the coal docks OF
the Port johnson Coal Company to be loaded
with coal for the Wilkesbarre Company.
Incorporation Counsel Edwards opposed
the motion for q non-suit.

a LITTLE asoENEp IN TIE SENATE


Annoying the Democratic.
WASHINGTON, April so, Is94.-The Sem
ate was again enlivened this morning by a
little scene"
Mr.. Wolcott, Rep, Col. } put the question
categorically to Mr.. Harris, lDem., Tenn-,)
| representing the Finance Committee, whether
the bill now before the Senate was really
! the bill to be acted upon, or whether there
| was not in reserve such notifications OF 1t
| as would render useless all present action on
the bill as 1t stood.
Mr.. Harris repeated, virtually, what no
had said last Saturday, TINT he was ready 70
! compromise conflicting opinions, apd Yves
| willing to make notifications where there
| was an absolute necessity. He could not
tell, and no Senator could tell. what form
amendments would take.
Mr.. Teller rep, Col.) asked Nj. Harris
| whether he expected amendments OF a radi
cal character to be offered, as the public
| was told.
Mr.. Harris said he could not answer as to
their radical character. He did not know TO
what extent such changes rested on news
paper speculation and newspaper absurdi-
tics.
k Mr.. Teller said he was prepared to Join 10
pushing Che bill to a hasty conclusion when;
| ever the Senate was authoritatiYely informed
| that the bill before 1t was Que which the
LAT tpJ III LIO ! &1AN
upon and expected to pass.
On motion Of Mr.. Harris the bill was taken
up, and then a motion was made py Mr..
Quay rep, Pa9 to lay the Tariff bill aside
and to take up a bill for a bridge across the
Monongahela River at Pittsburg. That mo-
ton was voted down, SO to ls, M Mr..
Quay gave notice that be would renew the
motion every day.
Then Mr.. Aldrich produced the interview
withs Secretary Carlisle published in this
mornings papers and re-assetted that some
be offered to the pending bill: The state
mTent was declared by the Chairman q me ne
untrue. He admitted that there were amend
ments in contemplation, but the statement
of the Secretary Of the Treasury was merely
conjectural as to what might possibly be done;
Mr.. Aldrich repeated his statement, and
said that the proposed amendments would
change completely the character of the pend
ing measure.
Mr.. Mills characterized the movements of
the Republicans as q pyrotechnic display
from the enemy for the amusement OF the
groundlings and those in the pit.
