Her appearance is more impressive than,

this dusky amazon is said to have only
one eye, one ear and one arm and to

touch of her magic wand she can bring

a brass pan is placed before her, into
which all the bullets of the enemy can
conveniently fall without hurting her

Buffalo, March 1S.-A reporter called
on Fitzsimmons last evening and asked
him if he would sign the articles of
agreement, now said to have arrived
here, for a fight with Corbett before
the National Sporting club of London.
Corbett has already signed the agree
ment. Fitzsimmons declared emphati-
cally that he would not agree to meet
Corbett at present. II have signed
many articles to fight Corbett," said
Fitzsimmons, ''but he has always made
me wait and put me off as much as
possible Now will give him dose
of his own medicine" ''Then I am to
understand that you will not sign?"
Exactly; that's my position. Let
Corbett whip Maher or somebody else
and get reputation" 'He has
whipped many men and his reputation
is as good as yours, is it not?" said the
reporter. At this the auborn-haired
pugilist got excited and replied in an
angry tone: ''Who has he ever whipped?
Only two old has-beens. At this point
Fitzsimmons stood up as straight
as the liberty pole, and, point
ing his hand downward, said: I've
got that man Corbett under my foot
and I'll keep him there"

To Report the Armstrong Bill.
Albany, March 18.-Legislation in
the interest of 100, 900 bicyclists in the
state of New York received an impetus
yesterday afternoon when the assembly
committee on roads decided to report
favorably the Armstrong bicycle bill
which provides that steam railroads
shall carry bicycles free. The wheel
men of the state have been petitioning
the members of the legislator for
weeks to favor the enactment of this
bill, but action was delayed so long
that several of the members of the l..

were afraid if it's consideration were
left until the close of the session it
would be lost. The committee, how
ever, determined that the time for ac-
ton had come and decided to report
the bill favorably with amendments.
One of the amendments provides that
bicycles carried as baggage need not be
Grated, covered or otherwise protected.

Fsmal Scenes of Kemtucky's Turbulent
Legislative Session.

Frankfort, KY, March 1S.-The
struggle for United States senator from
kentucky, which has just closed, will
go down in history as the most re-
'markab BILE contest ever waged in any
state in the Union. The contest really
began and was waged at the same
time the campaign for state officers
was being conducted. The two houses
were evenly divided on joint ballot.
The republicans have = majority OF six
in the house of representatives and the
democrats control the senate by six.
From the first ballot to the last this
remarkable contest has had the inter-
est of the entire country. Replete
from start to finish with sensational
incidents, the final act in this great
political drama was fitting denoue-
ment And the spectacle of a legisla-
tive body of a great commonwealth
being guarded under martial law by
the state troops will go down to pos
terity as lasting stain upon Ken
tucky's escutcheon.

Princeton Teams Condition Will Depend
ON Result of the Trip to Greece.
Princeton, N. j., March 1.-two
men who will represent Princeton in
the Olympic games at Athens April 5
to Is have been in training for the
event for some time past, but the con-
dition in which they will appear at
Athens will depend very much on the
effect the voyage will have on them,
as but little time will be left after their
arrival in Greece before the contests
take place. Princeton will be the only
American college to compete in these
events, and all the men seem to feel
the responsibility of their position.
Prof. William Sloane of Princeton has
been one of the chief agitators on this
side of the water in bringing about the
revival of the old games, and it has
been largely due to his efforts that
Princeton has been able to send out
team. The suits which the contestants
are to wear have arrived and were
shown for the first time yesterday.
They are of white material with
stripe of orange and black down the
trousers, band of the same colors
about the waist and another running
diagonally' across the chest.

Philadelphia, March 1S.-The many
quarrels between the Pennsylvania
society of the Sons of the Revolution

the Sons from Independence hall. For
nearly year there have been frequent
clashes and Misunderstanding be-
tween the two organiza lions regard
ing the possession of the old city coun-
Gil chambers in the hall, all growing
out of the desire of the Sons to have
absolute control. Under an ordinance
of the council the Daughters had equal
rights This was so Objectionable to
the Sons that, finally, they decided to
have the conditions altered or quit
They did not have them altered to suit
them. so they quit, and the keys of
their rooms have been returned to the
chief of the bureau of city property.
The Daughters now have entire posses
sion, and will endeavor to restore the
rooms to their original condition, hav-
ing SIS, 900 to spend for the purpose.

schooner John B. Manning of New

befallen her. The Manning was COM
manded by Capt. F. G. Sprague, and
her crew consisted of ten men.

SEVERAL BIG FAILURES.
Philadelphia Merchants in the CottOI
Trade Forced to the Wall.

Phi1adelphia Merchants in the Cotton
Trade Forced to the Wall.
Philadelphia, March 1s.-Several big
failures were announced here yester-
day. Oliver N. Long and William Fl.
Long, trading as James Long, Brother
& Co., manufacturers of dress goods,
made a general assignment for the
benefit of their creditors to David
Nimlet, who also is manufacturer.
The assignment, it is said, was partly
precipitated by judgments on notes
entered against the firm aggregating
$50, 949. Oliver N. Long secured judg-
ment against William Rhodes on a
note for $4,000, dated February 30,
1896, and payable in three days. In
addition to the assignment of the firm,
Oliver N. Long individually assigned to
David G. Nimlet. William Rhodes,
against whom Oliver Long obtained a
Judgement for SIS, 1000. also assigned,
naming Henry c. Loughlin as assignee.
Frank 81. Rhodes, against whom O. N.
Long obtained Judgment on a note for
500, 900, and VIM. H. Long against the
same for $50, 900 also assigned, placing
his affairs in the hands of Henry c.
Loughlin. 1t is stated that the notes
held by the Longs against the Rhodes
were on money loaned the latter for
building operations. The failure of the
Longs is said to have been caused by
dullness of trade and an over stock of
goods. The Long Bros. are among the
best known manufacturers of cotton
and wooden cloths in the United
States. It is estimated that the liabili-
ties will not exceed $3.50, 900, while the
assets on very conservative basis, it
is estimated, will approximate over
$500. 900.

RATE OF WAGES RESTORED.

to the Scale Previous to 1898.

Philadelphia, March 10. = 1t is
learned that the 10 per cent reduction
in wages made by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company in 1893 has been re-
stored. The change, which was made
by the board of directors to take effect
March /, will affect all salaried en-
ployes from the president down re-
ceiving more than 81, 900 per year The
original reduction of 10 per cent in all
salaries in excess of that figure was
due to the reduction in the earnings
of the company following it's disastrous
connection with the Reading and the
return to the old salary rate is directly
due to the present Improvement in the
earnings of the road.
