The s50o0 in question will stand as a forfeit, and will be divided between Corbett and F'itzsimmons if the Florida Athletic club fails to bring off the fight at the time and place to be ap- pointed July l. T will maintain" said Vendig, that the Florida Athletic club can hold the contest in any part of the United States according to the articles of agreement. I have consulted my lawyer in regard to the matter, and he says the agreement justifies the position the club has taken with reference to the battle ground" William A. Brady, Cor bett's manager, said Sunday night: "Corbett and I believe that Vendig's claim on behalf of the Florida Athletic club is a just one, and Corbett will fight Fitzsmmons at any place Vendig names in the United States Vendig's position is perfectly tenable. He asks for noth- ing that is not consistent with the agreement, and Corbett proposes to stand by the club"

The respite granted by Governor Morton in the case of pr. Buchanan ex- pires at midnight today, and unless the court interferes the condemned man will be executed on Wednesday morning. Buchanan relies solely on the efforts being made by his lawyers to Save him from the electric chair. He was ex- treInely nervous yesterday morning. When Warden Sage and Dr. Irvine vis- tied the condemned man this afternoon the first question he asked them was whether they had heard any news from lhis5lawyers in New York. They have to make application to court today for a writ of habeas corpus, and should this be- denied to file notice of another ap- hpeal to the United States court. Buch- anan has made no preparation for 2 death and should he have to go. to the electric chair Wednesday morning it is thought he will be in fearful condition. 5 Warden Sage has completed all ar- rangements for the killing of Buchanan Wednesday and new invitations have all 2 been received by persons who will wit ness the execution. The hour fixed for the execution is Il o'clock. Mrs. Buch- anan, who visited her husband yeSter- day afternoon and remained with him for long time, will probably go to the prison again tomorrow. If the legal struggle of the lawyers to save her hus- band is unsuccessful she will then take her last leave of him.
 Judge Brown of the United States court last afternoon denied the appli- cation for writ of habeas corpus made by counsel in behalf of Dr. Buchanan.

Three bodies found yesterday morning in the ruins of Sunday nights fire, which started in the feed store of R. F. Bialas, located on Pennsylvania avenue East End, Pittsburg, and burned several tene- ment houses adjoining. There names were: Lydes Micheal, carpenter, aged 35; Samuel Weaver, 25 years. married; Frederick Schneider, aged 21. The vic tims lost their Ives in the house of Samuel Weaver. Weaver had been i'll for some time with typhoid fever. His wife had been confined only a few days ago. She was removed in safety from the ap- preaching flames. Michael and another man were in the act of removing Weaver when a lamp in the room exploded. At the same time the adjoining tenement fell in on the Weaver house and Michael and Weaver perished in the flames and falling debris. Fred Schneider, who had saved several persons during the progress of the fire, hearing Mrs Viewers pitiable lamentations to save her husband, rushed into the burning house and also lost his life. Mrs. Weaver is in critical condi- tion from the shock, and it is feared she may not recover.

CREMATION ON
THE BATTLEFIELD

4
The other day, the Emperor,
William, in view Of the carnage
inseparable from later-day war
fare, took counsel with the
medical staff of the German
War Office as to whether, or to
what extent, cremation might
not be utilized for the olsen
numbering of battlefelds after
such sanguinary combats as
those, for example, around
Metz in the campaign of 1870.
The subject is full of difficulty,
and even if cremation be event
uaIly put in practice for such
an end, it must, without ques-
ton, call into operation a
much larger, a much more va
riously disciplined medico-mil-
itafy personnel than hitherto.
The electric light, after dark
ness has set in, may be trusted
to aid in distinguishing the dy-
ing from the dead; but expert
examination will be needed be-
fore such an irrevocable pro-
cess as that of the crematorium
Is applied to bodies in which
the vital spark, not wholly ex-
tinguished, may yet have a
chance of being famed into
flame. This examination will
not be called for in the case of
those whose condition is such
that only a few minutes can in
tervene before rigor morris be
gins to declare itself. 1t may
be spared also in those cases,
where after operations the re-
sources Of the field ambulance
have failed 20 re-ehforce the
powers of life. But from the
two sides of the battlefield
from the front and from the
rear-the crematorium will
never be without food, all too
abundant. if the provision Of
the Emperor William as to
the "butcher's bill" Of the next
great European war are to be
realized.-Lancet.
