ADVERT SING DID THIS.

A newspaper devoted to literary
matters recently departed from its
usual course to describe bargain
sale in New York as follows:
A special sale of silks was
recently advertised to occur at a
certain hour in one of the largest
New York shops, and an excited
crowd of women was in attend
ance when the clock struck ten.
A scramble ensued, which might
fairly be called a free fight. In
the melee a long roll of stuff got
twisted about one woman's mouth,
and another around another
woman's neck; and what with the
Juggling and jerking at the two
ends, there was in the latter case
narrow escape from strangula-
ton. A third woman, from the
suburbs, who stood on the edge of
the crowd, afraid to risk her life
by venturing in was suddenly
struck by a piece OF goods, flung
wildly away by some one in the
thick of the fight. She managed
to keep hold of it, and it proved to
be the very thing she had come to
buy, but lad decided to save a
surgeons services by not battling
for. Is not the excitement of such
sale as this fair substitute for
the perilous pleasures of the polls,
sighed for by woman-suffragists?
What will advertising not do?

perfectly willing that this case be

court yesterday afternoon. Had
a bomb been exploded in the temple
of justice it would have created
scarcely less sensation among the
throng of interested spectators than
did these words.
SO, what a fuke."

"Well, what do you think of that?"
These are fair samples of the ex-
pressions of utter disgust which flew
from mouth to mouth as the disap-
pointed crowd fled out of the court
room close upon the heels of Martin
Julian and Robert FitZsimmous as
they made their way back to their
suite of rooms in the Capitol hotel in
custody of two deputy sheriffs of Pu-
laski county.
1t is Governor Clarke's avowed pur-
pose to have the cases contined from
time to time until the pugilists become
thoroughly disguised and the fight IS
finally declared off The report sent
out from Hot Springs that the Maher-
O'Donnen fight will be brought off
next Monday is incorrect. NO hght

pugilists and their managers are
finally disposed of at Little Rock.
Julian and Fitzsimmons were seen
Immediately after reaching their
hotel. Julian stated that the club had
| promised to send Colonel Murphy here,
and as the lawyer had failed to arrive
he had, on the advice of Colonel
Murphy's stenographer, consented to
the continuance. He said he knew
he had no show against such a
lawyer as the state had in the
case, and that he did not know what
to say in court. When asked what eff
feet the postponement of the case
would have on his claim of forfeiture
from the club, he replied none what
ever. The club had guaranteed him
protection, and it was not his fault
that he had been arrested. The fault
was the clubs, and he would demand
the forfeit money because he had
| gotten as nearsHOt Springs as he
could on October 81. Julian and Fitz-
simmons were driven over town in
charge of Jerry South and later paid
their respects TO Governor Clarke at
the executive office.

Together Before That Day.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. 1.-The big
fight is put off until next week, and
there is no chance of Corbett and Fitz-
simmons meeting in the ring be-
fore Tuesday at the very earliest.
There will, however, be a fight on
Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when
Maher and O'Donnell will meet with
five-ounce gloves in Wilmington park,
two miles from the center of the town.
This match is definitely settled, and
unless the state interferes in a very
forcible manner it will be fought out
according to program. Smith and
Ryan will proba bly, be given a chance
on Tuesday.
The fight on Monday will be for
purse of s., 900, of which 81, 900 goes to
the winner and 1900 to the loser.
There is no side bet. There is little
room to believe that the Maher-O'Don-
nell fight will come off without re-
sistance on the part of Governor Clarke.
Attorney General Trustworthy said last
night that he would report the matter
to the governor personally, and learn
what his wishes are.
Il believe the Maher-O'Donnen
fight would be just as much violation
of the law as that between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons, said the attorney
general, land l believe that it should

Sheriff Houpt of Garland county
reached his home here yesterday after
his unsuccessful attempt to get Fitz-

The sheriff was bitter in his denunci-
alton of Fitzsimmons. declaring that
the man is afraid to fight Corbett.

Charged That $4,000 of City
Taxes Are Illegal.
LAWYER &. A. AUSTIN'S POSITION

He VIII EDjOin the Collection OF City
Taxes-If His Position is Sustained
It VIII Seriously Cripple the City
Revenue Mr.. Austin Gives the
Authority for His Position and
shews Why some OF the Levies Are
Illegal.
E. A. Austin has had occasion to look
up the city assessments and made what
he considers a very important discovery
and if his position is sustained, it will
prove very important for it would mean
that about $4,000 annually of city taxes
are illegal and therefore non collectable.
Mr. Austin had occasion TO fcreclose a
mortgage on q piece of property against
which there were numerous tax deeds.
He studied the levies and says that he
discovered that many of them are illegal.
When the tax levy is made by the
city it is done by the city council after
careful estimate is made of the funds
which will be necessary, and it is di-
vided into different levies to meet the
wants of the various funds. The total
levy made for 1895 was four and e-half
per cent The state, county and school
tax levies can not be attacked and Meth
or can the levy for general revenue and
general improvement purposes, but some
of the other levies, Mr.. Austin says, are
clearly illegal, and he says that their col
lection will be enjoinsd by some of the
heavy tax payers.
In talking about the matter to a jour
NAL reporter Mr.. Austin said:
''By section 555 the city is given power
to levy and collect taxes upon all the
real, mixed and personal property within
the limits of the city, taxable according
to the laws of this state, the valuation of
such property to be taken from the as
sessment rolls in the Office of the county
clerk: For general revenue purposes,
not to exceed six mills in any one year;
for general improvements, excepting
sewerage and improvements, for which
spscial assessments are levied, not to ex-
coed six mills on the dollar for any one
year.
''This is the general power of taxation
and covers every expense the city car
incur. There are, however, several ad-
ditional powers of taxation given by the
law For instance, with regard TO the
payment of interest coupons on bonds is
