sISTERSViLLE.

The call issusd by the Council ior q
public meeting of the citizens OF Sisters
VILE TO discuss the merits OF the new
charter, met at p. N. in Rice's Hall.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
and the rather unfavorable hour there
was a large attendance. The meeting
was called to order by +. Broad water,
ESQ, who was made chairman. Mr.
! c. Matheny was made secretary.
There was some discussion as TO how the
matter in haud was to proceed. Some
were In favor Of the numerous amend
ments. Justice G. NJ. Mccoy then
offered few remarks, stating that the
rather secret way in which the present
charter was procured would forever
make it unpopular and would never
have the healthy support of Sisters
vllle's citizens. His remarks were gem
erously appauded. AS solution to the
vexed question, be made a motion that
the present charter and House bill No.
II be tabled, and that committee, 10
consist of the present council, ana
eight citizens to be chosen by the meet
ing, draw up new charter: carried,
with a solitary dissenting vote-s mem
her of the council. He then moved that
Representatives Pyle and Ankrom be
authorized to table or remand the pres
snt charter or House bill No II
back TO the Committee on Oblivion.
Carried unanimously. Tho following
gentlemen we're then chosen as the citl-
zens' committees; T. d. Young, Clint
Moore. G.. NJ. Mccoy, c. Matthews, j.
B. Shufelt, Charles Thistle, c.. =. Rus
sci. j, w. Whittesey. After some little
further discussion on matters inmate
rial, the meeting adjourned. II there
had been any doubts as 10 the status or
public opinion on the matter.it was GER
taiuly removed. The Register came in
for its applause. But for the medium
OF this paper there is but little doubt
that the charter, with all its obnoxious
features, would have been fixed
through.

TO-NIGH]TS CONTEST
WILL Bg THE COLUMBIAN CLUBS RED LETTER
EVENT.
Bo,h Men in Fin. Condition and Confident Of Getting
the DecjsiOn-BOwling Cock Fighirs
and 0Iher Spar.

All the preliminaries have been ar
ranged for to-nieht's entertainment as
the Columbian Athletic Club house. In
the quality Of sport to be provided, as
well as in the attendance, IL promises TO
be the clubs red letter event. An in
teres ting matter In connection with the
contest is the probability, In the event
that everything passes of successfully,
that ths club will enlarge its present
quarters, doubling its seating capacity.
If this is done, the club will pull of
number Of interesting athletic eoEtests
In the near future.
Scanlon was seen at the McLure last
night. and Nikirk at his headquarters
on South Main street. The latter was
con fident OF getting the decision OF the
referee, and his friends claim fer him
that he can stand any amount OF pun
ishment which the big fellow may be
able 10 inflict, his strong PoiEts being
his cleverness and his staying qualities.
Scanlon was equally confident. He is
big fellow, standing little over six
feet, and will 90 into the contest weigh
ing about $50 pounds. Scanlon is
very gentlemanly sort Of 3 fellow, and
has little to say.
Both men have been on the police
force In Pittsburg and each has many
friends among the "coppers," who will
be present ia large numbers az the club
tonight. The special train will arrive
from Pittsburg in the evening, and the
delegation from that city will number
over one hundred, including some lovers
OF sport of more than local reputation.
The train will leave Pittsburg e: six
o'clock, and arrive here little after
eight. The preliminary bouts will pro-
baby start about nine o'clock.
The bout between Jerry Sullivan, the
clever little lightweight. and Jerry
Marshall, the cOlered wonder from Aus
tralia, will be almost if not quite as in
teresting as the final event IL It
takes place. The two have met be-
fore and the decision was not sat
isfactory to Sullivan or his friends.
Marshall aud Nikirk visited the club
house Yesterday afternoon, and exam
ined the ring Marshall pronounced IL
superior to the ring AZ the Seaside
Athletic Club, Coney Island. where be
fought q battle recently. Nlkrk was
equally pronounced in his opinion.
The Columbian Club held meeting
yesterday afternoon, at which all the
arrangements were completed. The
name OF the referee will not DO au-
nounced until the men step iato the
ring. This is satisfactory "a tho prinGi-
pals, ana sho1.d b. q .ne spectators,
as it tends TO insure a square contest.

AMUsEMESTS.
ANNA EVA FAY.

Anna Eva Fay, the renowned med
ium who will give an ente rtainment at
the Opera House tonight and Thurs
day evening, receives the following no.
tlce In the Albany Argus: Gen. Robert
Shaw Oliver and Col. Edward Bowditch
done their work well last oight at Miss
Fay's seance, and TO say that they were
as mystitied as the audience could be
plainly discerned by the expressions on
their faces after each experiment.
When hands plainly perceptIbIe 10 the
entire audience write communications
on pieces OF pieces Of paper 1t is enough
TO make the hair stand on end OF the
ord nary person. After the seance Miss
Fay held a reception which almost the
entire audience attended 10 congratu-
late her on so clever a performance.
THE sMUGGLERs.
This is an entirely new sensational
melodrama, which will be seen at the
Grand the last half Of this week. The
Baltimore American, January "a, says:
"There was large audience al both
the matinee and evening performances
at Kernau's Howard Auditorium yester-
day. The new meIodrams, The Snug
glers." 10 FIVE acts, was produced in
good style The play has many ne"
.aud novel IDEAS, and the scenic and me-
chsplcal effects are excellent. There
are many good scenes in each act,
among them the hgbt between the rev.
epue cutter and smugglers' craft, and
the burning OF the ship Petrol IN mid
ocean.
EQUINE PARADOX.
Barthoomew's Equine Paradox was
greeted with another good sized audi
ence a. the Grand last night. The won
deriul display Of equine intelligence,
falling little short OF reason itself, was
worthy Of the rounds Of applause they
received, and the entertainment seemed
10 please all. A grand ladies' and chill
dreu's matinee will be given this after
noon, and to.night's performance viii
close their engagement. At the matinee
to-day all the poor children OF this clay
who cannot afford to pay the price Of
admission will be admitted free.
