One Knocked Out Before the
First Of Next Month.

Dallas. Tex. Oct. 9.-The Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight will go to Hot
Springs. Ark. A decision was made al
o'clock this afternoon and the Florida
Athletic club will move Its belongings
to Hot Springs at once. No change In
the original date OF holding the nsht
was made.
Conditions having changed so quick
ly and positively. the date and place
Of the mill being named within less
than "a hours after the conference
though the club had IS hours from
Tuesday night to decide in. there were
lots of things TO be done. Including
the arrangements for getting to work
on a building and the preparation for
the transportation. The question came
up at the conference whether or not
Julian and Brady would agree to hgnt
outside OF Texas. There was no difii-
Guilty on this score. That being set
tledt the question arose, would they
consent to moving the date up to NOV.
20. Both opposed this. Their men,
they say. were already on fighting
edge, so to speak. Brady sprang a
telegram from Phillip J. Dwyer Of New
York. the official stakeholder. that
Fitsslmmons' money had been attach
ed, the amount involved being $500.
Brady and Julian had a warm discus
sion over this. ending in Julian prom
isIng to make good the amount In 10
days from Tuesday. A claim was put
In by Julian for the forfeit OF $500 II
the mill did not take place on the 3lst.
This was sllenced by the proving OF
the fact that the club had the right TO
pull the mill OF any time after July
/. 1895.
The big event of the conference was
the question as to whether or not a
referee should be selected at once. The
club demanded II as their right that the
referee be named without delay. Brady
demanded the same. Julian stood pat
on his old proposltlon-that the referee
should be named on the day OF the
fight. There was a hot discussion be-
tween Julian. Brady and Vendig, the
latter declaring for the club that un-
less a referee was named at once. he
would declare the fight off. Julian
said 1t would have 10 go at that then.
Julian held out that the safest way
to prevent a referee from being tam
pered with was TO keep his name Sc
cret until the day OF the fight. Brady
said Corbett would never again sign
articles Of agreement unless the referee
was named In the same. After sew
eral propositions were made, Julian
finally consented to consider the pro-
position that he and Brady should Sc
lect a name each from six. the name

fight and then. IL the names were no,

two should be decided by q toss up.

cost s50.000.000. he said Huntington
again exposed his ignorance OF this
country, evidently basing his calcula-
tions on methods employed In con-
structing the Southern Pacific and
Central Pacific roads, when the ex-
pense OF construction was enormously
inflated and the bank accounts OF con-
structors correspondingly increased.

CLARK GIVEN $3O85.
Verdict in the Sensational Clark
Decker Suit at Lewiston.
Leading Lawyers Agree That Decker Made One
Of clark's Best Witnesses.

Lewiston, Jan. 80. p. Decker OF
Bangor, so the jury decides, stole the
affections of Carrie Weber Clark, formerly
of Lewiston, whose husband, Wallace
W Clark OF this city, sued Mr.. Decker fol
SIS. 900. The jury rendered verdict al
g. 20 o'clock, Saturday evening, after be-
ing out two hours. 1t reads
1.-The jury finds that the respondent is
guilty in manner and form of the second
count. and assess damages to the plaintiff
of $685. and that the plaintiff is not
guilty in the manner and form of the first
count.
The first count in the writ is adultery,
and the second, of which the jury found
the respondent guilty, is alternating Of
affection Judge Walton in making the
charge to the jury, complimented Col.
Jasper Hutchins of Bangor, one of the
counsel for the respondent, and Lawyer
W. III. Judkins of Lewiston, on their able
arguments.
Mr. Decker seemed very much surprised
at the verdict. But large number of the
leading lawyers of the county who have
listened to all the proceedings, and who
discussed the case in the cloak room while
the Jury was out, agreed that Mr.. Decker
was Mr.. Clark best witness, and that

after Mr.. Decker had testified. capped the
climax
