ANXIOUS TO GET TOGETHER.
Latest Talk About the McCoy-Cor-
bett Battle.

bett Hattie.
New York, Oct. L-Corbett is willing.
Mccoy is anxious and the club is desir-
Gus of pulling off the much-advertised
contest, and unless something unexpected
happens, this pair of heavyweights will
meet in a 24-foot ring on October Is, and
decide for all time to come who is the
better man.
Mccoy is training faithfully and will
be as fine as fiddle on the 18th of the
month. Corbett resumed work today.
Last night both men wanted to fight. The
Times representative has talked TO Nc
Coy's trainers Sam Fitzpatrick, Con Ri
ley and Doc Payne as wen as to Corbetts s
handlers, Charlie White. Con Mccoy and
Tom Lansing. and judging from what
they all say, both men are almost crazy
to fight. Fitzpatrick said: You can take
it from me that Mccoy really wants to
meet Corbett and he thinks he can defeat
him. l think so, too. He has Corbett S
style of fighting figured down to a nicely
and we will both be badly fooled if he
does not win"
DO you really think they will come
together on October 1872" was asked.
''It looks like a certainty to me-" an
swered Fitz. The club has a forfeit
up and it's members claim that they have
a location where they can pull off the
contest without interference The only
way 1t can fail to come off is for one of
the principals to back down. You can
take my word for it, it wont be Kid
Mccoy"
Corbett also thinks it a sure thing that
the bout will take place, and says
back-down on McCoy's part, will be the
only thing to keep it from being consum-
mated. When asked If he was now thor
oughly satisfied to box under the aus
pices of the Hawthorne Club, he said:
Yes, any club, any location, any old
thing will tickle me to death Anything
to get this young man into the ring with
me. The only stipulation / make is that
the winner take all-every penny"
w. B. Gray. McCOy's manager, made a
statement under oath to I. ]. Pocher. no.
tary public. Friday afternoon that it was
Corbett who suggested that the $40, 900
purse be equally divided. and that Nc
Coy would only agree to it because Cor
bett refused to box under any other cir
cumstances. 1t has been tipped off by
several people that Syracuse will likely
be the battle-ground.

son. Chester, shot girl visitor. Miss Ju-

So terrible was the shock to Mr.. Seeley
that until last night, when the doctors
said the girl would recover. sleep was
banished from his eyelids. Yesterday his
family were astonished TO see that deep
wrinkles had formed on his brow and
that his hair was almost as white as

Gov. HOlcOmb Defers His Decision
Regarding the Muster-Out
Lincoln, Neb, Oct. lit was stated at
the governors office this afternoon that
no decision would be made between the
First and Third regiments for mastering
out till the conditions of each had been
thoroughly inquired into.
If the governor were to reply TO the
War Department to the effect that he
wished the First mustered out, and the
department should then object to disturb
ing the arrangement of troops in the
Philippines. thereby plainly leaving no
other course open than the recall of the
Third, Bryan's command, it would be the
clearest sort of a victory for the State
over the general government But should
the department actually proceed to bring
the First back from Manila, Gov. Hol-
comb would be left without recourse to
aid the Third. For this reason it is con-
sidered unlikely that he will advise the
War Department in favor of the recall of
the First.

Baltimore, Oct. 1.-The new steel twin
screw steamer Tennessee, built at Will
mington, Del, by Harlan & Hollings-
worth, for the Baltimore Steam Packet
Company, made fast to the company's
wharves, foot of Union Dock last night.
She left Wilmington on Thursday MORN

was lost by delays incident to new ma
chinery and the adjusting of compasses,
which was done by Mr.. NJ. V. O'Neal.
Capt Bohannon. the flag officer of the
line, brought the ship around.
The Tennessee has a popularity of mod
ell, which has interested shipbuilders gen.
orally. In building her hull a flare was
given to the sides, which extend outward
from below the water line to the deck,
making her about feet wider at the deck
than at the water line. This gives her
much more buoyancy, and in case of
heavy weather she will be much steadier
than the average steamer of her class.

play strength. Missouri Pacific, Federal
Steel and Sugar in succession began to
rise and tended to check an otherwise
weak and hesitating market. Union

for term on the realizing sales from

the long side. Sugar was boosted up on
the shorts and on large transactions rose
nearly FIVE points.
Favorable weekly earnings were respon-
sible for rise i'll Southern Railway

A very strong movement in the late
trading in the Atchson issues was trans
ferred to Federal Steel and Baltimore
and Ohio and gradually helped the whole
list. Interest identified with the trade
were large purchasers of Federal Steel,
while the purchases of Atchison were
made in the hope of some favorable ac-
ton at to-morrow's directors meeting.
The expectation of an early announce
ment of Central Pacific reorganization
plan was responsible for a rise in that
stock of about 4 points. Manipulative
orders helped in making up American
Steel and Wire. While the transactions
of the day were not up to the recent
tremendous volume of business, the
greater amount of activity for the day
developed in the closing hours, while
the market was moving upward. Call
money which for some time has been
ruling from per cent to 212 per cent,
was bid up to AZ per cent, which was
paid for a small loan in the last half
hour, and directly afterward there was
Il good sized loan at per cent but the
furry was quickly ended by large
amounts of money offered and the rate
dropped to 215 per cent, the closing price.

are very firm in 4-yards with IN upward
tendency, and lighter weights in fine yarn
makes, fully maintain the recent adj
vances. Print cloth quiet but firm.
Prints selling well and tending against
buyers. There are reports of an inn
pending advance in American indigo blue
and shifting prints. Last weeks exports

the largest for any single week on re-

COTTON.
New York Dee 20.-There was but q
moderate speculative movement i'll cotton
futures to-day. The market opened
quiet and steady with prices unchanged
to an advance of one point. The course
of prices was quite irregular within Il
narrow range of variations, the turns
being governed by local interchange
rather than by news without or by
public orders, which. for the day, were
slack. The best prices of the session
were made on the opening call. At
the lowest point the market showed>a
loss of 203 points under liquidation of
a few small long accounts. The mar
ket rallied from the extreme depression
on claims that the Southern spot mar
kets were well sustained and that the de-
mands for print cloths were active at
full prices
Reports from dry goods districts were
of highly favorable character. In the
afternoon few investment orders Were
executed without advancing prices APP
preciably. The weather advices were
variously construed, and on this account
both longs and shorts showed hesitation.
The market here closed quiet and steady
at net unchanged prices to 3 points

KENTUCKY's REDBIRD LAW.
Commotfon Caused by an Attempt
to Enforce 1t.
(NashVilIe Banner.)

The Gagged redbird is just now a cause
Of serious controversy in Louisville, Ky.
And it all grows out OF a grand jury
and an alleged overzealous young Chief
of Police.
Several years ago a rural member OF
the State Legislature, in his desire to en-
roll his name on the scroll of fame, in
troduced a bill prohibiting the keeping
OF redbirds, martins, or other wild song
birds in cages, and providing for PEN
atty of a fine for violation Of the same.
The bill, by some freak of craftsmanship,
became a law, but no efforts were made
to enforce it. 1t was a dead letter. Re-
Gently, however, in Louisville, a grand
Jury that could find no evidence Show
ing the existence of pool-rooms, faro
banks, slot machines, or panel-houses,
stumbled on the redbird law, and imme-
diately called the Chief of Police, Jacob
Haager, before II and sternly demanded
to know why he had not enforced the
redbird law. The Chief had never heard
Of the law, so the foreman Of the grand
Jury took up the Kentucky Statutes and
read the act.
Chief Hanger, who is young. and who
has only recently had his honors and his
gold badge thrust upon him, left the
grand-jury room thoroughly impressed
and with his mind made up to enforce the
law to the letter. And he has done
It like a Spartan. He went to his own
home, where he had a Kentucky cardi-
nal" Gagged, a beautiful bird that had
