May FIGHT Again.

Dallas, Tex, March 27.-The
friends of Corbett still believe that he
can whip Fitzsimmons, that the re-
suit at Carson was an accident and
that if the two meet again Corbett will
regain the title CT the worlds cham
piOn. 1t is said to be not unlikely
that the two will fight again. Fitz-
simmons has stated emphatically that
he will not fight again, but, neverthe-
less, it is believed that he will do so.
1t Is the opinion Of Dan Stuart, who
says that the Probabilities are that
they will meet again in the near
future, The fight, if it takes place,
will be for a side purse OF $40, 900 or
more, and the prospects are good that
tn money will be posted. When the
money le up and there is no chance
left for theatrical displays, Stuart will
60 after the fight with a suitable
purse, having already selected a place
for pulling it off. 1t is said that this
may not be Nevada.

SOME NEWSPAPER FAKES.
Two of These Yarns Easily
Disposed OF.

The story in the Chronicle that
reached here yesterday relative to the
bal gain the fighters are alleged to
have made with the kaleidoscope peo-
pie and the ensmallment of the ring,
caused some excitement here The
yarns are both disposed of in the fol-
lowing:
ED. APPEAL:-I wish to make a re-
ply to the statement made by the tele-
graphic correspondent of the Chron-
icle in the issue Of March Goth. He
quotes me as saying that there was
an agreement between the fighters
and the k~inetoscope people that they
we're to fight at least ten rounds His
statement is absolutely untrue. Nc.
O'Brien, the correspondent. came to
me 90 several occasions and stated
that he had heard that there was
such a bargain and wanted t 0 know
what I knew about it.
L told him repeatedly that I knew
nothing of such a bargain made by
anyone and did not believe a word of
it. I told him not to take notice of
such rumOrs, for if he did it would
keep him busy. as a new rumOr was
started by some lunatic every hour.
He came again aud again to me and
tried his best to make me give some
endorsement to the talk about the
fighters being fixed. [ soon formed
the opinion that he was sent to me by
Rathan, the Chronicle man, who was
doing all NJ could to queer the fight,
and / was particularly careful not to
make any statement regarding the
matter except to deny any belief 10 the
rumors which | considered came from
the same source where so many fakes
came from, the man the Chronicle
had in town and whom Mr.. O'Brien
vas assisting"

Later in the evening as tue paper

started the story and wished to recall
it.-ED. APPEAL
AS to the charge of the platform
having been made smaller in the night
this is a fake like the rest. 1t stands
now as it stood the day it was built. An
APPEAL reporter measured it yesterday

measured 81 by 81, the same as it did
when it was originally built.

A pastardly Act.

On Wednesday night. during TIL
most inclement weather OF the wiute., |
Matthew Kelley threw his wife Az:
babe ont into the deep snow and i"ft |
them to perish in ne bitter colt, FOR
all that he cared, while he returned to !
his warm bed. ''Silas," who has the
reputation Of being the very worst
Indian in Mono county, heard her
piteOus wall Of distress and went 10
her aid. He pat the little babe under
his coat to shield it from the etinging
cold, while another Indian assisted,
half carrying the freezing to
Mrs. Steve O'Brien's house, where the
sufferers were made as comfortable as
possible. Mrs Kelly was ~barefooted
and in her niGht rote, and being in Il
peculiar condition it is almost miracu-
lous that she did not succumh to the
shock.
The ~atrocity Of the ACT is i~nconceiv-
able. 1t exceeds the savagery CT the
most blood thirsty Aapache. It is
difficult to even imagine that such a
thing could occur in a Christian COM
munity The tough Indian who
rescued the mother and babe was
softer hearted than the husband and
father. Ga a warrant issued by Jus
tice Delury and sworn to by Mra.
Kelley, the inhuman husband was
taken to jail by Constable Jones and
on Friday was fined 800 or so days in
Jail, a punishment totally inadequate,
but the best the Judge could do under
the circumstances. We have no room
here for the perpetrator of such an
outrage. Had those two Indians DOT
happened around, there would have
been a double funeral.-Bodie Miner

RUNS 200 MILES AN HOUR,
Terrific Speed Is Claimed for a Newly
Designed Electric Locomotive.

Terrific Speed Is Claimed for Newly
Designed Electric Locomotive.
A locomotive that will run 200 miles
an hour has recently been completed at
the Baldwin Locomotive Works in
Philadelphia. 1t is called the lightning
express electric locomotive. Nothing
that resembles it has ever been con-
structed 1t Is announced that with
this locomotive a speed of 120 miles all
hour has been made privately. This
would bring Chicago within five hours
ride of New York.
In appearance the new locomotive
gives hardly a suggestion of its speed
There is little mechanism visible, as the
motors are hidden in jackets of steel
with the exception Of the driving
wheels, whose length and solidity are
not so apparent from their size as from
their construction. The locomotive has
the appearance of an ordinary baggage
car. While not in the least resembling
the conventional locomotive in out
ward appearance, this one is considered
the most complete in the world. The
frame is made of 1O-inch rolled steel
channels, surrounded by a half-inch
rolled steel plate, covering the entire
| floor The plate is an important de-

two trucks, which have all the easy rid

springs, swinging motion and free

This is the first electric express en-
gine The new electric locomotives that
have heretofore been built have all
been to haul freight trains or to run at
q low rate Of speed. On the expert
mental track in the yard Of it's builders
along which it has been run such ter

SOUTHERN SUCCESS.
Tennessee's Centennial Has Become
international in Its Scope,
AND WILL BE IN THE FRONT
Rank of the Great Historic Exhibi-

Appears on the Surface.

The Manufacturers Record says:
'sAs the time for the opening of the
International Exposition at Nashville
approaches the success of the culmina'
ton of Tennessees centennial becomes
more and more of a certainty. Repre-

Local in it's origin it has become inter
national in it's scope, andwill undoubt-
edly be in the front rank of the great
historic exhibitions. It will have GER

culiarly lends itself. The Woman S
Building will have as q novel adjunct
one devoted to children, with a world
wide collection of young folks special
ties in the way of boys and games; the
railroads centering at Nashville will
have displays characteristic of the sec

the Negro Building will be illustrations
