There Was No Lynching.

Cincinnati. Feb. 1s.-Owing to the in
cendiary advertisement calling for 1000
men at Court and Sycamore streets at
$3.50 this morning, ready for work"
there was a well founded apprehension
that mob was to be gathered to lynch
the prisoners. Jackson and Walling, on
the way from the Jail to the police
court. The crowd did ASSEMBLE, but a
heavy relay of police was on hand and
no concentration was permitted. The
prisoners had been quietly removed to
the city hall two hours before the time
when II was supposed they would leave
the Jail.
The third appearance of Jackson and
Walling in the police court to-day drew
a jostling, curious crowd. The prison.
ers were required to remain not more
than half a minute, for counsel had
agreed to continue the hearing until
Feb. 81. The prisoners were safely re-
turned to jail, the wagon being followed
at run by few over-curious boys.

times wore boards, but pictures of the
ancient Egyptians represent monarchs

boards were worn long and esteemed
a symbol OF dignity and wisdom. In

FL Paso, Feb. 1s.-Prizefght matters
were very quiet to-day. Not more than a
corporaPs guard of sporting men Is on
hand waiting for Friday, and 1t is not
sure that all of them will remain long.
Fitzsimmons went back to his work this
morning and only appeared in FL Paso
for a few minutes. shortly before noon.
Governor Ahumada left Juarez this morn
ing for various points in the interior of
his province. He has come to the opinion
that there will be no trouble and that his
presence on the border is no longer neces-
sary If reports from Las Cruces may be
relied upon Peter Makers eyes are i'm
proving and the Irishman is going about
the New Mexican town with shaded
glasses on.
Should the men fight the battle is ex-
pected to be short and sharp. 1t is the
plan of the Maher party. If they must
fight, to send their man after Fitzsim-
mons with a rush, in the hope of getting
Fitzsimmons on the go and landing him
by fortunate blow early in the proceed
ings. Enoch Rector says the battle will
not last last more than three rounds.
Others say five will be the limit. Few
think ii will last eight or 10 rounds. Dan
Stuart says there will be a fight unless
the principals or one of them fails.
Fitzsimmons, after reading the inter-
view given in Chicago yesterday by
James ]. Corbett. and learning that he
could have a fight with the latter before
the London club, exclaimed: That suits

tically all the sporting men have left the

sumed training but will do only light
work. He is in splendid condition.

Junk and a log was laid along the side
for people to cross on. At last the mud
became so deep that 1t was difficult for
teams to cross, so rocks were hauled
and dumped there. Year after year
the road sank longer and deeper, and
each year more rocks were put in, I'M
til at last the town was obliged TO build
a bridge so feet hong. All went well for
a while, when IL was observed that
this structure was sinking. Again the
town had a bridge laid upon this,
which was then sunk in the mud and
water. extending several feet more in
length than the first. AS the years
passed this bridge sank in like man

see whether they would build a road
around the swamp or lay another
bridge. 1t was determined to build the
bridge. which is 1880 feet long. but this
bridge also is constantly sinking, and

The first barber shop of any preten-

about 1S45 by a man named Edward
Phalon, who expended about $4,000.
Phalon and his Shop were laughed at
as a case of fool and his money, but

Prior to 1860 prices were as follows:
Shaving, 5 cents; hair cutting. 10 cents;

came on prices advanced to 10 cents
per shave, and Is cents in the better
