The guesses ranged all the way from 97 to Az per cent.

coRBETT AND FITZSIMMoNs WILL MEET IN THE RING THERE
 OCTOBER 3I.
yENDIG, BRADY AND JULIAN
Have Hot Time Over the Selection of Referee -Fftzsimmons And
 Corbett VIII Do Their
 Training in Texas.

l DALLAS, TEXAS, October 9:-The
 Florida Athletic Club today moved it's headquarters to Hot Springs,
 Ark, where it will hold it's pugilistlc
 carnival of three days commencing October 31, the date originally sec
 lected and already given out. All
 the parties to the contest have fully
 agreed and the matter is settled.
 Conditions having change so quick ly and positively, the date and place
 of the mill being named less than twenty-four hours after the con- 1 ference, though the club had forty eight hours from Tursday night to
 decide in, there were lots of things to
 be done, including the arrangements l for getting 10 work on a building and the preparation for transporta- tiOn. However, q great many mat ters were arranged in the conference Tuesday night. The event up to date brought these out. The ques- tion came up at the conference whether or not Julian and Brady
 would agree to fight out side of Texas. There was no difficulty on this score. That being settled the question arose, would they consent to moving the date up to November 20. Both sides opposed this. Their men, they said, were already on lighting edge, so to speak. Julian insisted particularly on this. 1t seems, therefore, a concession was
 made in this regard by the club.
 Brady sprang a telegram from
 Phillip J. Dwyer, of New York, the l official stakeholder, that Fitzsim-
 mons stake money had been at
 tached, the amount involved being
 $S, 100. Brady and Julian had a
 warm discussion over this, ending
 in Julian promising to make good
 the amount in ten days from Tues
 day, or on October IS. Julian
 blamed Attorney Nanny Friend, of New York, for the attachment pro- ceedings, asserting that he forced himself on Fitzsimmons and other-
 wise, as Julian charged, used Fitz- simmons as q handle to keep him. lself before the public in connection with the Australians affairs. A claim was but in by Julian for the 1 forfeit of $2.5OO if thn mill did not take place on 31st of October. This
 was silenced by the proving of the fact that the club had the right to pull the mill off any time after July l7, 1895.
 1 The big event of the conference l was the question as to whether or
 not referee should be selected at
 once. The club demanded it as
 their right that the referee be named
 without delay. Brady demanded the same. Julian stood pat on his old proposition that the referee should
 be named on the day of the fight.
 There was a hot discussion between
 Julian. Brady and Vendig, the lat
 ter declaring for the club that unless
 q referee was named at once he
 would declare the fight off. Julian said it would have to go at that
 then. Julian held that the safest
 way to prevent q referee from being

WITH A COW HIDE
MIR. S. A. LEVY cHAsTisEs JACOB FRANK FOR SLANDERiNC
 HIS NIECE.
An Exciting Scene in Blum's Dry Goods Emporium Which Will be a Warning to Traducors
 and Sianderers.

A cow hide in the hands of strong and determined nan did it. It taught a lesson that the names and characters of our chaste, modest and worthy young ladies must not be traduced and slandered. The lesson will not be lost in Pine
 Bluff, for it has become of too com
 mon occurrence to hear on all sides slanderous words concerning our
 virtuous women uttered by the ven- emous tongues of men who have no no respect for the virtue of women,
 no matter how pure their characters
 or spotless their lives may have
 been.
 Jacob Frank was the man who
 received the lesson today.
 Miss Nina Weightman was the
 y
 Frank is charged with slandering.
 And Mir. $. 4. Levy, all averaging
 uncle, was the man who adminis-
 tered the lesson with the cowhide.
 Shortly after o'clock this after noon Mir. $. A. Levy, accompanied
 by his brother, walked into Blum's
 Dry Goods Emporium, which was filled with customers, and inquired for MT. Jacob Frank, who is the
 bookkeeper of that concern and also correspondent of the Associated
 Press at this place.
 Mir. Frank was in the office in the
 rear of the store and the gentlemen, on learning this started back to find him.
 Mr. Leo Blum saw from the fash ing eyes and angry appearance of the gentlemen that something was wrong, attempted to prevent their entrance into the office. Mir. Sim Levy pushed him aside and stopped directly in front of MT. Frank and charged him with having slandered his neice.
 Mir. Frank claimed that he had
 only repeated remarks that he had
 heard from another source. Mir. Levy demanded the name of his authority and Mir. Frank told him that it was Afr. Edgar Bloom
 another employee of the store. MT. Bloom was at once brought into the office, confronted with Mir. Frank and then asked if he had uttered such words. Mir. Bloom gave Mir. Frank the lie and said that he had never told him any thing of the kind, and furthermore had never spoken disrespectfully of the young lady in his life. At this iuncture Mir. Levy pro- duced a COW hide and administered a
 severe chastising to Mir. Frank, after. which he and his brother quietly
 walked from the building. Mir. Frank still asserts that he is entirely innocent of the charge for
 which he was punished and ayers l.that he never slandered the young lady, but had only repeated what he
 had heard others say, and that
 even then he did not utter the
 name of the young lady. The affair is truly deplorable
 one, but 1t will have a good
 effect in this city, and it is safe to
 say that it will cause many men l to be more guarded in their talk.

Plain. 1T has vast embank ments
to keep it In its course, but every
year or so food comes and hun :
dreds of thousands, and sometime s
millions, Of people are swallowed
up by it. When | first visited
China l arrived just after one of
these big floods. About 10000
600 peple we're Iulned by the
river, and millions had been
drowned. During my trip of last
year ! sailed up the Peiho to
Tientsin aud saw the evidences of
the great fl ,od of the year
previous. This covered the plains
surrounding Tientsin. 1t ruined
hundreds of villages and at one
time it seemed as though it would
endanger the city of Lii Hung
Chang, which, you know, contains
a million people. Right below
Tientsin i saw thousands of graves
which had been washed out by the
flood. The collins were lying on
the ground, and during the food
the dead floated by the thousand
to the sea.
The Peiho River is the one
which flows from near Peking on
down to the sea, and up it all the
freight which supplies the north
ern provinces of China must go.
1t is winding, muddy stream,
navigable only for large ships
about fifty miles, or as far as
Tientsin. There is a bar at it's
mouth, and it is only at high tide
and with proper wind that you
can get over this. During my
trip this summer we lay for two
days outside the bar, under the
shadow of the Taku forts, before
we c,uld get over, and in coming
away we had 10 wait two days
for the proper wind and food to
get outside of the river. Secre-
tary Foster and party were on the
same ship. We had a cargo of
bones for Japan and betwixt the
smell and the sea the delay was
by no means pleasant. In going
up the Peiho you wind your way
through low, fat plain, which
is covered with one-story house
of mud. These houses are built
right along the banks of the river,
and the land back Of them is
divided up into farms and or
chards. The blossoms were out
during the time that L went up the
Peiho, and the brown plain was
spotted here and there with vast
patches of white and pink flowers
Half-naked children squatted on
the bank, and there were thou
sands of people at work in the
fields In the early morning you
could see them going out to work
from villages. They marched by
the hundreds along the paths,
going always in single file.
