cORBETr AND rITzsmMoNs' DAY.
The Morning News VIII Report the
Fight I'm Detail by Special Wire.

right IN Oetull Dy SDecluA Nlrcs
Probably no event Of its character has
ever excited the public interest that is
taken in the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight at
Carson City to-day. 1t surpasses in weight
and importance even the fateful battle
at New Orleans in 1892 when the stalwart
youth from beyond the rockies wrested
the worlds championship from the
mighty John L.
On account of the great interest that is
taken in the fight the Morning News will
give detailed telegraphic reports of it as
II takes place, by special wire An instru-
ment and operator Will be stationed in
one of the windows in front of the Morn
ing News building and every detail of
the fight as it takes place in Carson will
be announced by the operator. 1t will be
possible to stand in Whitaker street in
front of the Morning News and hear every
blow struck by the pugilists in the arena
at Carson. The fight will take place at
IL o'clock, Pacific time, which is 2 o'clock
Savannah time.
The two men who are to meet to-day
represent the very acme of pugilistic
science and skill and they stand out from
the common herd, perfected types of the
genius pugilist 1t is universally conceded
that either Corbett or Fitzsimmons could
defeat any other man in the ring to-day.
When Corbett knocked out John L. Sulli-
van at New Orleans and was loudly pro-
claimed the worlds champion, he took his
place on the topmost peak of pugilistic
fame, and for awhile he occupied that po-
sition alone.
But lank and awkward youth from
Australia was looming up. One by one
Fitzsimmons disposed of the lesser lights,
until his growing greatness became Sc
rious menace to the supremacy of the
champion.
When Corbett surrendered the cham
pionship to Peter Maher, as the best man
fitted to defend it, Fitzsimmons at once
challenged. When, with a clean knock
out in less than one round, Fitz disposed
of Maher, he at once stepped into the
foremost rank, and only Corbett remain
ed between him and the undisputed cham
pionship of the world.
The result of that battle brought the
two rivals face to face, and there they
have been for more than year, splitting
and snarling at each other 1t was newt
able that they must finally come together
and settle the question of supremacy
which will be done to-day.
That Corbett is the favorite in Savan-
nah there is no doubt At the turf ex-
change last night odds were quoted 8 to
against Corbett and to against Fitz-
simmons While there has been no heavy
betting here there are any number of
small bets and the average man who
hasn't got something on the fight is looked
upon as un-American.
The bulletins and reports from Carson
were closely watched all of yesterday and
last night, and every scrap of news was
eagerly read. With ali of the st. Patrick s
day demonstration the fight will have the
call until it is over Then St Patrick
will have a chance

WARRANTS ON ALL SIDES.
The MII<eII-McMiIIan Family Feuds
Well Aired.

The warrants issued by Justice Wick
ham several days ago against the Mikell
family, which lives at the corner of St.
Julian and West Broad streets for as
sault and battery have been dismissed,
but the family is still under peace bonds.
Mrs. l.. A. Mcmillan lives in the same
house with the Mikells, who are the hus-
band and father James. his wife, Susan,
and their daughters, Ellen and Maggie.
Mrs Mcmillan has a colored cook. The
Morning News reported a few days ago
a row that occurred at the house over the
relative rights of it's occupants In the
matter of wood splitting. The trouble be-
gan in arguments and ended in sort of
free fight, in which seven of the jewellers

This was all fun for the magistrates, and
hard times seemed TO have passed They
investigated the charges and dismissed

as curbed tempers are advisable when a
breach of the peace would forfeit bonds.
The courts did not define the respective

family wakes its neighbors at early dawn
with the blows OF the Ratchet upon tough
pine knots.

FLAMES IN A TAILOR SHOP.
HasIam, Harvey q Co.'s Place Con-
siderabIy Damaged.

slucfaDIy OAmuEeu.
Fire broke out about 2:2O O'Clock yes
terday afternoon in the tailoring estab-
lishment of Haslam, Harvey & Co., No.
11S Whitaker street.
1t started in a small Enclosure on the
second floor near the stairway, where the
stove for heating irons was kept. There
We're three women working on the floor,
and they did not discover the fire until
one of them went to the closet for hot
iron She at once gave the alarm and
one of the employees ran to the store of
Mr.. John Lyons, at Broughton and Whit
akeT streets, from which point an alarm
was telephoned to fire headquarters, from
which it was transferred to Nos. / and 2
engine houses. People who were on their
way to dinner were surprised to see the
machines come hurrying down Brough-
ton street, no alarm OIL Are having been
sounded.
The appearance of the firemen at once
drew large crowd. The flames spread
very rapidly and had gotten into the cell
Ing of the second floor when the firemen
arrived. The chemical engine was stop
ped in front of the door and the hose
was soon run out and up TO the landing
on the stairway, which was as far as the
firemen could go at first. Five minutes
use of the chemical reduced the fire to
control and fifteen minutes later it was
completely eXuinguished. Steam was got
ten up by the engines but it was not nee
essary to turn the water on.
Very little damage was done to the stock
on the first floor. A number of patterns
and other work on the second floor were
ruined. This is quite loss as the firm
was in the midst of the spring rush. Its
loss will not exceed $500.
There was considerable damage to the
ceiling and walls of the building, which
may reach $500. The building is owned
by the Saussy estate and is insured. Has
lam, Harvey & Co. had $4,000
insurance placed as follows: Dear
ing & Hull, Atlanta Home,
500; Hamburg Bremen, $500; r. Il. Pepper,
the Westchester. $1,000; Myers & Holt,
Western Assurance. $500; Sullivan & VIII
son. Decentralization, $500; w. Il. Grady,
Imperial of London, $1,000.
Messrs. Haslam. Harvey & Co. did not
waste any time bemoaning their i'll luck
but Strengthened out their stock at once,
and will resume business as usual at the
same stand this morning.

SPECIAL PIANO SALE.
New Pianos So Monthly For 30 Days
Only.

New Pianos So Monthly For 80 Days
Only.
Piano buyers should make no mistake
about this SALE
They can't afford to do so. It's their
own loss if they do.
It's mistake to think that the pianos
offered on $ monthly payments are only
second hand. They are new, bright and
fresh from factories.
1t Is also a great mistake to think that
they are cheap and inferior. We offer
some as low as $50 and 5000, but we have
others at $780, $3.50, $500 and up to $500,
and all are included in this sale.
Just as fine a piano as you are willing
to pay for, Upright or Square, new, near
ly new, or prime second hand. Any kind
you want, and the most wonderful terms
ever heard of.
That's what this piano sale is. No fake,
or advertising dodge, but a genuine,
square sale, giving buyers exactly what
they want.
And the most successful sale we ever
had. Buyers plenty and pianos rolling
out as fast as our giants can deliver them.
New shipments ordered from factories.
Make no mistake about this sale. 1t
means a lot to all piano buyers. Ludden

l.. 4 n. PRESIDENT HERE.
He Had Nothing TO Say About the
Georgia Road Lease.


Georgia Road Lease.
President Milton II. Smith of the Louis
VILE and Nashville railroad was here yes
terday. lie arrived in the afternoon by
the Plant system. in his private car, and
was accompanied by a party of Louisville
people, among whom are Messrs. Attiia
Cox, Attila Cox, Jr., II. ID. Wilkes. and NJ.
j. Reedy. The party left last night for
Augusta.
The purpose OF the visit OF the chief Of
fetal of the Louisville and Nashville was
an interview with President Conner of
the Central. This interview was had yes
terday afternoon. but nothing regarding
Il was given out. IL is not difficult To
guess, however, upon a consideration OF
matters as they now stand between the
Central and Louisville and Nashville, over
the lease OF the Georgia road, that Il was
upon this subject that the conference was
held.
Mr.. Smith was seen at the De Soto. but
he refused TO say anything about his visit
TO Savannah. or the bill that has been
filed here by his road against the
Central Of Georgia Railroad Company and
others.
The story OF the Misunderstanding be-
tween the two roads has been told IN the
Morning News. Many Of those who have
been served with copies of the petition,
and are parties to the suit. are residents
OF Augusta, and il is believed that it is
the purpose of the president of the Louis
Vile and Nashville TO interview all the
parties before the case is heard at Macon
tomorrow. which II the date set for the
hearing before Judge speer.
