ARRAY OF LAWYERS.
Judge Sheets, the attorney general, will
arrive at o'clock tomorrow morning, ana
participate with other attorneys in the
argument for a permanent Injunction.
There is a large array of legal talent on
both sides.
Prosecuting Attorney Hoffheimer, in re-
plying to the letter of Gov. Nash today,
denied that there was collision in the
case before Squire Roebling, in which
Jeffries and Rubin were arraigned on
the charge Of training for prize fight.
These cases We're continued until next
Monday Mr. Hoffheimer wrote the gov
ernor that if he found collision in these
cases that he would have the principals
arrested again and arraigned before
judge of the common pleas court
MINISTER'S CONGRATULATE NASH.
The promoters of the fight state that
Gov. Nash ought to have waited until
after the pending cases have been heard
in court. The opponents of the fight say
that when the letter of the j. Roth Pack
ing company and over a thousand other
petitioners reached the governor last Sat
urday his excellency had to reply to the
same and this preciptated his action.
The different ministerial associations Of
the city today adopted resolutions con-
graduating Gov. Nash on his action. At
the same time the German singing So
cieties that are interested in the CID
Saengerfest guarantee fund have been
taking action to the contrary.
The managers of the fight today came
in conflict with the Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph companies. The
telegraph companies refuse to pay the
amount demanded for the privilege of
having their offices inside the hall, and
both agreed that they would have their
office on the outside rather than pay
the amount demanded.
