Newspaper Rivalry Over the Fight.

The rivalry among the newspapers of
the country for exclusive news from the
battle-ground of the Corbett- Fitzsim-
mons fight surpasses all previous records
made in the race for news. Fabulous
sums are paid the principals and others
prominent in the fistic arena to send
their statements and opinions to certain
papers. The New York Journal. it an
pears, has corner on all the big per-
sonages, and nearly every man who has
anything to do with the mill is under
contract to write exclusively for that
paper. Not satisfied with buying up
the pen work of the pugilsts, the Jour-
nal has engaged eX-United States Sena-
tor John j. Ingalls,, of Kansas, and
Governor Sader, of Nevada, to report
the contest.
The coming fight is attracting much
attention from the sporting element
here. Corbett has by far the greater
number of admirers and considera Bile
money is ready to be wagered on him.
The TRIBUNE in its issue on the 18th
inst. will contain complete account of
the battle.

Charged With Soliciting Bribes.

The residents of Plymouth have come
to the conclusion that they will have no
more corrupt methods in municipal poll
tics As a result, County Detective Eek
ert journeyed to the town on Monday
evening and there swore out warrants
for Councilmen T. b. Thomas, John D..
Stevens and George Walton, on a charge
OF soliciting bribes from ID. j. Reese
Thomas Appleton aud C. w. Honeywell.
The three last named were candidates
for appointment to offices before the
council, and it is said they were ap-
preached by these men and promised
election if they would put up a stated
amount.
This move is one that will probably
result in severe overhauling of politi-
cal methods throughout Plymouth 1t
has been generally known that this rot
ten method of conducting politics was
always followed in Plymouth, but until
now they have been allowed to 90 with
out reprimand. The men were cap
tured by Detective Eckert and placed
under $500 bail to appear the next after
noon.
AT the hearing the next afternoon the
accused men entered bail to appear at
court and stand trial. Councilman
Stevens then sprang another sensation
by swearing out a warrant for Reese.
charging him with offering a bribe for
his (Stevens) vote. Reese gave bail.

An interesting case comes before the

Several years ago Miss Lydia Fuller OF
Hardwick died leaving her property
several thousand dollars, to the Oid
Ladies' Home at st. Johnsbury. The will
was offered for probate, but was protested
by Henry Gage of this town, nephew,
on the ground that Miss Fuller was not
mentally capable of making a will at the
time this will was made. The case came
up in county court, Judge Ross presiding,
and after one of the hottest fights Gale
donia county has seen for many a day,
the jury, being composed largely OF 81.
Johnsbury men, the case was carried in
favor of the Home and the will prObated,
The plaintiffs were satisfied neither with
the court usage nor with the decision and,
fling a bill OF exceptions, appealed the
case to the supreme court. That was two
years ago. A few weeks ago the supreme
court reversed the decision of the county
court and remanded the case for trial.

GUNBOAT MARIETTA.
The New Warship Runs Over the
Measured Mile Off Bluff Point.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2o.-The
gunboat Marietta left her pier at the
Union Iron Works, under command of
Captain Minory Goodall, to-day, having
on board the officers appointed to make
her official trial, and proceeded to the
measured mile off Bluff Point. In ad-
dition to the ranges on shore, a boat
was anchored a each end of the course
about a thousand feet off shore, as
steering ranges, and the Coast Survey
steamer Gedney, to make necessary ii
dal observations.
The following runs over the course
were made between II o'clock and 4
to determine the speed, revolution and
curve of the ship, as required in the
contract Of both the Marietta and
Wheeling: Two at approximately
seven knots; two at approximately
nine knots; four at approximately ten
knots; four at approximately elev-
en- knots.
The highest speed reached at any
time during these trials was, corrected
for tide, ia knots per hour average
revolutions on each engine PIG. steam
pressure $50 pounds. The mean draft
was twelve feet, or about one foot light
er than normal displacement draft, she
having neither mastS nor battery on
board
The remaining four runs over the
measured mile at approximately twelve
knots will take place tomorrow morn
ing, after which the four consecutive
hours steaming trial will take place
in the bay, and the indications are that
the Marietta will exceed her contract
speed-twelve knots-by two or two and
one-half knots
