The Outlook For "nIilI" at Hot Spring,
Improving.


Hot SPRINGS, Arb, Oct. 16 Whether
the meeting of James j. Corbett and
Robert Fitzsimmons shall occur at Hot
Springs, October 81, is not decided, but
from all indications the chances are
now exceedingly favorable. Governor
Clarke arrived on the noon train from
Little Rock, and this afternoon he met
the local committee together with the
Garland county officers in private con-
sultation, to which not newspaper man
was admitted.
An eager crowd awaited the result OF
the deliberations after the governor and
Judge Dufiie left the room in search OF
Judge D Is. Hudgins of the Fourteenth
Judicial district, who is in the city, to
consult with him about disputed point
Of law.
Members OF the conference, when but
ton holed, said that it had been agreed
In the meeting that nothing occurred
there was to be made public From the
best information that could be wormed
out of the reluctant conferees, it is un.
derstood that the matter is to be left by
the governor in the hands of the local
authorities. in whom he has confidence
to properly interpret the law and carry
it out.
Pursuant to this, it is generally
understood that. since Fitzsimmons has
not appeared in this State as ye5, and,
therefore, Corbett cannot be made sub.
ject to arrest, to morrow O'Donnell and
Maher, who are here, are to be arrested
on charge OF conspiracy to break the
peace. The exacted bond Of SIS 900 will

sued out, which will como up for trial
before Judge Lestherman at once, and
his decision is to be considered as q test
OF whether there 10 pr.hibisory law
elfecting prize fighting.
The governor himself says that no
such law exists, and that Judge Hudgins
confirms this opinion. This makes the
prospect for an exhibition here seem
exceedingly roseate.

RECOVERED A DEAD MANS WATCH.
A dispatch from Springfield, o., says
that Detective John T. Norris on Satur-
day recovered the gold watch of General
Albert Sydney Johnston, which had
been lost 80 years.
As General Johnston lay dying at
Shiloh, April 6, 1862, Union soldier
went through his clothes and took the
watch. The family has been search
ing for it ever since. The soldier kept
it in his possession year, and then de-
posted it with John Fisher, OF Canton,
ill.,, for 500. 1t has been in Fishers
keeping ever since. When Detective
Norris was arrested in Richmond
three months ago, Fisher, who had
beep neeced by gold brick swindler,
went to Norris's rescue. In going
through the State Capitol at Richmond
he saw General Johnston's picture.
Fisher said to Norris, 81 have that
mans WATCH" and told the story to
Detective Norris. He told ex-Govern-
or Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, who pre-
vailed on Norris to secure the watch.
On the inside cover of the watch is
General Johnston's name, A. S. john
ston, c. S. A, scratched by himself.

CAN TRACE PATERNITY SCIENTIF-
IcALLY.-Nothing has so agitated Paris
for long time as the reported discov-
erv by NJ. Groussier of a scientific
means of tracing the paternity of child
rem who know not their own fathers.
1t is easy to understand with what
alarm the news of such discovery will
be received in a country where illegiti-
macy is SO common as in France. The
announcement may possibly cause some
tremors of nervousness even in Ameri-
ca. The Paris journalists have speedi-
" recognized that nothing could appeal
more directly to the interest of their
readers, and they have been interview
ing everybody of consequence about the
probable truth and effect of the mo-
mentous news. 1t is not surprising
that some vehement protests have been
printed. 1t is declared that it is time
to call halt in the relentless march Of
science when it becomes so presumptu-
Gus as to invade domestic secrets, which
it has no right to expose.
NJ. Grouisser atfirms with great
pOSlIlVeutSS llldt Ills ldW 10 iilaliiuiS'
NJ. Berenger, father of the famous law
which bears his name, halls the news as
the greatest scientific triumph Of the
century, and declares that it is sure to
prove the best conservator of virtue. M.
lola deems that legislation in the mat
ter is impossible. NJ. Jules Simon, with
his customary optimism, aflirms his
confidence in the law, and believes in
applying it, but points out the danger Of
blackmail. NJ. Rochefort, editor cf
.Intraasideaatc, declares that "pater-
nifty is like the philosophers stone.
You may look for it as much as you
like, but you will never find it," In a
single week, as the news spread, NJ.
Grouissier finds himselfthe most famous
man in France, but his position is en-
barrassing, not to say dangerous. He
is overwhelmed not only by requests to
apply the law in individual cases, but
by threats of direct evil unless he
abandons his inquisitorial investiga-
tons. The Pail Mall Gazette printed
the news yesterday, and now the sub
iect is overshadowing all others in Loll-
don clubs and other places where men
congregate.
