Fight in Five Weeks.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
New York, March 21.-Sharkey de-
clares he is ready to fight Fitzsimmons
in five weeks. Fitzsimmons is matched
to meet Jetfreys this summer, but it is
thought he could well afford to let his
forfeit go if a match could be arranged
with Sharkey The whole sporting pub
lie is interested in the bout between
Bob and Sharkey.
Sharkey says: Il am matched to
meet Mitchell, but l do not think the
fight will ever take place. I am now in
the front row of fighters and want to
start after Fitzsimmons at once. I am
sure | can whip him. | do not think
t1tzsimmons and Jeffreys will ever
fight. They are talking too much. I am
not doing this for the sake of adverIis-
ing, but | mean every word J say Had
1t not been for my match with Mitchell
l would have tried to get on a match
with Fitzsimmons before. If he whips
me he will make enough money to rest
the remainder of his days
During a recent boxing bout Fitzsim-
mons injured one of the bones of his
right arm and in healing the bone bent
and is stiff. The doctors are now trying
to stratghten the injured limb. A me-
chanical contrvance has been rugged
for Strengthening out the arm without
lnJurlng the bones or muscles.

MUCH ENTHUSIASM.
Delegates Seem to BE Evenly Divided
Between Fitzgerald and Stanford.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Great Falls, March 21.-The democratic
primaries held in this city Tonight were
the largest ever known in spite of The
storm and Lewis Morrison at the opera
house. Nearly the full democratic vote
was represented at each ward, a thing I'M
precedented. One hundred and forty
three men attended the primaries in the
First ward, 81 in the Second and the other
two were equally crowded. The counting
still continues at two Of the wards. and
while the result is still doubtful, it is
probable that the convention will be
about equally divided between Stanford
and Fitzgerald for mayor. The aldermen
nominated are strong men, and are as
follows
First ward-David Dowlin, by acclama-
ton.
Second ward-William Grlls, by 65 votes
against p for Peter Pogreba.
Third ward-H. Auerblick, by acclama-
ton.
Fourth ward-John Meir, by 81 votes
against q for w. NJ Johnson.
Everywhere there is the utmost enthu-
siasm, and if one may Judge by the feel
ing at the primaries there is going to be a
democratic ticket elected in this city this
spring.

hatever crime was committed in St.
Joseph or its county, at any time, was al
ways charged to a negro, and if an arrest
was made the negro suffered, and so did
his master. for the latter went to the
slaves rescue from a mercenary more
than any other motive. And thus in hir-
ing help the question came to be asked,
rs your negro honest?' The simple af-
firmative averment of the owner was not
sufficient. 1t was necessary for him to
add. He is not only honest, but got relig-
ION at Jimtown,' mentioning the date.
Sometimes an over-particular employer
would ask who conducted the meeting,
for there We're a few preachers in the
community whose regulations were
clouded by suspicious circumstances
which had to be explained.
A white man in st. Joseph wanted to
hire a colored Whitewater. The white
man was noted for his strong Baptist
faith and leanings, and when the owner
of the property said his negro got relig-
on at JimtoWn the employer asked who
preached, and, upon being told, said,
That preachers a Methodist" The
owner could not deny this.
The employer wanted to know if the
owner didn't nave any Baptist negro.

owner Wen to town and informed the
man who wanted to hire that the white
washer had ~"backslid' from the Metho-
dist church and got religion over again,
and had been baptized in Black Snake
creek on the previous Sunday. The man
was hired for a year for 500. Before the
contract expired whitewashing business
took a drop, and the employer informed
the owner that the negro had "broke over
the Baptist religion and was no good for
work. But the owner was a very willy old
Virginia gentleman, and had a very
smart son who was a lawyer. The father
and son took the negro to a Jimtown Bap-
fist revival and had him ~reconverted and
rebaptized and sent him back to his en-
ployer in st. Joseph, with the intimation
that if he failed to wark it would be the
fault of the employer, who still owned
half the money for the negroes hire. The
contracts usually called for half cash
down in the beginning, and half at the
expiration Of the contract.
