GEORGIA FRUIT CROP.
DAMAGED BY HEAVY FROST SAT-
URDAY NIGHT.
(By Telegraph to virginlan-P llot.)

(By Telegraph to Virginan-Pilot.)
Atlanta, Ca. April From informa
ton gathered by State Entomologist
Scott and the Agricultural Department
since the heavy frost last Saturday
night, it is believed that the fruit cron
has been damaged to some extent
throughout the State, but what the pro-
portion Of the blossoms or young fruit
has been killed cannot be learned.
The complete effect Of the frost can
not be learned until warm suns has had
O. chance at the blossoms on the trees.
State Entomologist Scott said to-day
that fifty per cent. of the blossoms now
or the trees could be killed without
materially effecting the crop in the
State.
"A telegram from South Georgia
States that the crop there Is uninjured.

DENIES RUMoRED MATCH.
Satisfied With Gibson, Smith Will Not
Disparage Mesmerist.

Chicago, May 9.-Charles H. Smith,
owner of the Kentucky Derby winner,
Lieutenant Gibson, denied yesterday
the rumors of a match race being made
between his colt and Arthur Feather
stones MeSmeriSt Mr.. Smith in talk
ing of his horse said:
Il am looking for no matches for
Lieutenant Gibson He is well engaged
in stakes. and will be busy racing for
them without entering special races.
MIR. Featherstone is my friend, and
has in MeSneriSt one of the best horses
ever seen on the turf in this country.
should dislike for any report to reach
him that I am praising my colt at the
expense of his own, for I have not done
so. There has been no communication
between US in relation to making a
match. 1 am convinced of Lieutenant
OAbson's high class, and if he trains on
campaigns this year. OF course from a
sporting standpoint a race between Glib
son and Mesmerist would be the sensa-
ton Of the year.
Both colts are entered in the Ameri-
can Derby, and it is quite within the
range of possibility that they will meet
in that race at Washington park. I'm
less Mr.. Featherstone has definitely
fixed plans for his stable either in New
York or abroad. / think the temptati a
to send his horse for the greatest race
in the west would be very strong. He
naturally would like to win the Derby
in Chicago, where he has always lived.
Lieutenant Gibson will start in the
Clark stakes at Louisville Thursday
Mr.. Hughes, my trainer, thinks he will
win handily enough. I did not back
the horse very heavily in the Derby last
week, as reported. OF course he did
not run loose, but Z to 10 7 thought a
short price, and as my friends were
down literally on my colt, let him &C
for their money, rather than shorten
the figures against him by sending in a
large commission of my own

ley. 1t is alleged, that young Brandley
was opposed to Rinard counting his sis
ter, and that, Brandley had threatened
Rinard several times. The murder &C
CURED about p. m. Brand1ey has wit
nesses to prove an alibi. The state in
sists that it was Brandley. The whole
thing is purely circunstantial and has
aroused more feeling pro and con than
anything that has ever happened il
Chase county.
Brandley is out on a ten thousand
dollar bond, pending his trial. The at
torneys in the case for the state will be
McWilliams and Butler of Cottonwood
Falls, Judge Redden of Topeka and pro-
baby S. S. Spencer. county attorney Of
Lyon county. Madden Brothers and T.
P. Cochran will defend. The expense of
the trial will be borne by Chase county,

Salina, May 9.-Three promoters are
in the city for the purpose of inducing
Saline county farmers to locate in
Texas. They are G. R. Fahring, form
erly of Gypsum City; Colonel Hamilton,
formerly Of Salina; and W. NJ. Meneley,
formerly of Gypsum City.
They propose to establish a. town near
GraydOn- The townsite consists of 226
acres. The land adjoining the townSite
consists of $4,000 or 10000 acres and will
be bought from a company for SIS an
acre. Five dollars of each twenty-five
will be deposited in q fund for town i'm
provements.
1t is claimed that the land will grow
anything. All stone fruits are abundant.
Vegetables are raised at a. good profit,
some persons making as much as 5000
or $500 an acre. Corn, oats and sweet
potatoes are good yielding crops. Cot
ton and tobacco are also grown.
The proposed toWnSite is on the east
shore of Trinity bay, and the nearest
railroad is Is miles distant. Twenty
townsite and Galveston, which is IS
miles north
The promoters say if they can get
Saline county people to look at the land
it will be an easy matter to make sales.
A number of Saline county people are
now living in that part of the country
and all are prosperous. The promoters
have already secured homeseekerS in
| Ellis Mcpherson, Usage, Kansas City
and Saline county. They will leave for
Texas on May Is, and expect to have a
| party of fifteen. They are making their
| headquarters at the Whitman house.

A STRAW FOR BRYAN.
Representatives of Thirty New
England Clubs Nominate
the NebraSkan.

Boston, May 9.-In Faneuil hall there
was held a mock presidential conven-
ton which was attended by the repre-
sentatives of more than 30 of the young
mems societies in and about Boston.
The convention was nonpartisan from
the very nature of the thing, and no one
knew before it was held what the re-
suit would be. Four men We're placed In
nomination for the presidency After a
long and hot debate in the presentation
of their names the vote was taken, and
this was the result:
William J. Bryan, 1877: William Nc
Kinley, 1913; Theodore Roosevelt, 120;
Richard Olney, 116
The delegates refused to be bound by
the nominations made and for John D.
Long there We're cast SO votes, and for
Thomas B. Reed II.
George Dewey did not receive a sim
gle vote.
A gold Republican platform was
adopted by an overwhelming majority.
The whole number of votes cast was o5f.
This convention, representing as it did
the nonpartisan debating societies of
Boston and New England, was the first
one of its kind ever held in Boston, and
the fight over the nominations was so
strong and so bitter that adjournment
was not reached until very near mid
night.

wALcoTr 10 MEET oHoYNsKL
Big Matches Made Down East to Be
Pulled Of in Chicago.

New York. May 9.-Joe Walcott, the col
ored cyclone fighter, has been matched to
fight Joe Choynski, the California fighter,
for six rounds at Tattersall's big arena
In Chicago the latter part of June. The
match was arranged by Lou Houseman,
who wired Tom O'Rourke yesterday, Of
fering him so per cent of the gross re-
ceipts for the bout.
O'Rourke has been anxious to have Wal
colt meet Choynski again just to show
that Walcott's victory over him at the
Broadway Athletic club was not a hu6e
one. SO he lost no time in wiring back
to Houseman his acceptance, which
clinched the match.
When ORourke notified Walcott that
he matched him with Choynski he said /:
It m glad I am going to fight Choynski
again I will give him just as hard a
punching as I did when I fought him at
the Broadway Athletic club. If there is
one man in the fighting business that I
can beat it is Choynski. After I defeated
him he acknowledged to me that I beat
him fairly, but when he reached Chicago
he said he had two fractured ribs and
was in no condition to fight I will get
square with him when we fight this
time
Joe WaIcott has another fight on his
hands. He has been signed by his man
ager, Tom O'Rourke to meet George By
erss the colored middle-weight of Boston.

club on May q They viii battle at catch

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MATCH.
Belmont and Whitney Are Both in
Favor of Such a Race.

New York, May "a race between
Ethelbert and Jean Beraud, is more than
a probability. In fact. it is nearly a GER
tainty. Negotiations are in progress be-
tween w c. Whitney and Perry Belmont
with the object of having the two horses
meet in a special sweepstakes. Only a
few details, such as distance and weights
to be carried, have to be agreed upon.
Jean Beraud until he trained off, was the
champion 2-year-eld of his year. He won
seven races, was second once. and I'M
placed twice Ethelbert was inferior to
Jean Beraud as a, 2-year-old, but he was
a good colt at that He was rather small
for his age. and did not get his full
strength and speed until late in the year.
He started fourteen times, won five races,
was second five, third twice, and I'M
placed twice.
Now that the Metropolitan Handicap is
over, everybody is asking the question,
why didn't bet on Ethelbert?' That
he was overlooked by the public was due
to the sensational trial made by Kilmar-
mock a couple Of days before the race.
Kilmarnoek worked a mile previous to
the race in Al Is This set all the train
ers and touts wild; This was intensified
subsequently by w. c. Whitney, who
bought kilrnarnock for $40. 600

GOTHAM SPORTS UNEASY.
Still Suspicious of the Corbett-J efries
Fight Friday Night.

New York, May 9.-The pugilistic world
IS not greatly excited over the tact that
through the motions of a fight The early
formed impression that the affair is cut
and dried never has been effaced. and in
spite of protestauons, fearful talk about
reputation and other remarkable things
sluggers seem familiar with. the Gotham
public can not get over the idea that
there is something wrong. Corbett says
he's going to win. Jeffries ditto.
There was a new question discussed IN
the JeffrieS camp this morning growing
out of the present whereabouts and prob
able disposition of the s., 900 prize belt
which Jeffries wants to include in his re-
ward if he beats Corbett: Under the stip-
ulations put forward when the belt first
went its rounds. the trophy was to fall
into the hands of the heavy weight who
defeated three of his kind in succession.
When last heard from Corbett held the
belt, Fitzsimmons out of pique refused to
accept. Jeffries claims that if he beats
Corbett he is entitled to the belt, as he
has already whipped F1tzsimmons and
final acquisition of this belt as a very i'm
portant matter
1t is possible that the winner of the Jeff
ries-Corbett contest, which is to take
place at Coney Island Friday night, may
in Paris before the exposition closes 5.
c. Halter, representing the Hippodromes
des ToreadorS of Paris, arrived here yes
terday with an offer to the winner of the
fight Friday night to meet another
prominent heavyweight next September
in the bull ring at Paris. After the bat
tie has been decided next Friday. Mr.,
Halter will make known the amount OF
the purse he is authorized to offer, but
he says that it will be large enough to
induce a favorable reply from the cham
pion, whoever he may be. w A Brady
on behalf of Jeffries, said in case his mar
won he would take on Sharkey for the
Partisan bout.
| Tommy Ryan is on the sick list. He is
| suffering from a severe cold, and was
obliged to knock off work today. Ryar
/ will go to Chicago Immediately after the
/ Corbett fight and prepare for his confess
| with Mccoy. He has engaged Dunkhors
! to go with him.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-05-09

Waleott will begin training in a few days.
Springs boiling out has signed articles to
fight Kid Mccoy. Matchmaker Mccarthy
of the Pennsylvania Athletic club. of Phil
adelphias offered Maher and Mccoy 70 per
cent of the gross receipts to box a six
round bout at his club, and Mahers with
out hesitating a moment accepted the in
centive and signed the articles of agree
ment. Mccoy will probably do likewise in
few days.
George Dixon the co1ored feather
weight ex-champion. who recently sold
out his saloon and returned to the ring,
has two very important fights on. His
opponents will be Benny Yanger, the Tip
ton Slasher of Chicago. and Terry Nc
Govern. Both contests will be for six
rounds, and will be fought in Chicago.
Dixon fights Yanger on June and Nc
Govern on June 25. The battles will be
decided at TattersaIrs
