The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1912-02-02

Manager AL Fremont, of the Her
mitage Athletic Club, has given out
information that he is endeavoring to
arrange a bout between Kid Mitchell,
the Nashville boy, and Young Jack
Johnson, of Memphis. This bout is
almost a certainty. The only ques-
ton now unsettled is the matter of
making weights In talking over the
matter with Kid Mitchell several days
ago, it was learned that he was
notA only willing but very anxious to
meet Johnson. He stated that while
he was very sure that Johnson could
not win decision over him in any
number of rounds, he did not wish to
take any chances in al allowing him
TOO much weight. He said that if John
son would agree to make 1853 pounds at
6 O'Clock on the evening of the fight
he would be only too glad to comply
with any requirements that the Mem
phis fighter might make.
He further stated that while he did
not wish to be placed upon record
as being technical that Johnson is
far too dangerous man for anyone
10 take any unnecessary chances with
and that he would have to ask hin
to come within the limit so far as
weight is concerned.
He is quoted further to say: =
am making Nashville my home, anC
desire to make good here with thu
home folks; and don't feel that
am doing the fight fans nor mysel
, any credit to give away deal o
weight to anyone; for the loss of ont
light means 50 much to me just now.
/ Kid Mitchell is a coming fighter, al
has been shown by his bouts here
He is a fast, clean mixer; can admin
lister a good punch with either hand
: and has a victory over Hook Bones
{ once the pride of Memphis, to hi
| credit, and also one over Christy VII
, liams, the New York middle weight
Mitchell is very young, not beinI
} over nineteen years Of age. If h
t continues to take the same care o
himself in tho Iutnre as he now doe
+ he will go up in the pugilistic world
r It is to be hoped that the fight be
{ tween Mitchell and Johnson can b
e satisfactorily arranged, as 1t is sur

Mr.. Rratt,s Troubles.

A dispatch from Easton, Md, 10 the
Baltimore Sun Of yesterday, gives the
following news concerning the automo-
bile accident, referred to last week in
the Register, one OF the participants in
which was Samuel w. Bratt, formerly OF
Bakerton, this county:
The jury OF inquest which was i'm
paneled by order Of States Attorney
Charles J. Butler, with M. b. Nichols
foreman, TO inquire into the direct cause
of the death Of John H. O'Day, who was
killed in an automobile ride Saturday,
May IS, brought in the following verdict
"That the said John H. O'Day came 10
his death while seated in an automobile
owned and driven by Samuel w. Bratt,
the immediate cause of death Of the said
John H. O'Day being directly due TO the
intoxcation OF Samuel w. Bratt, and it is
the opinion Of this jury that the car was
reckleSSly driven"
Upon this verdict States Attorney But
Ter will swear out a warrant before Police
Justice Tharp tor Mr.. Bratt'S arrest, but
owing to his serious illness at his home
in Oxford it will be some time before the
case Can be heard.
Mrs. Lille B. O'Day, wife Of the late
John H. O'Day, through her counsel, N.
E. Clark, has docketed suit in the Circuit
Court for Talbot county against Samuel
w. Bratt for $4,000 damages for the
death OF her husband at his hand.

For a Great National Highway.

George w. Billmyer, of Shepherds
town, recently wrote letter to Senator
VIM. E. Chiffon, OF this State, urging the
Senator to give his influence to the pro-
iect for building splendid highway from
Washington TO Gettysburg as memorial
to Abraham Lincoln. In a courteous
letter to Mr.. Billmyer Senator Chiffon
expresses his favorable sentiment toward
plan OF much greater magnitude and OF
consequently more extensive benefit to
the people. The Senator writes as fol-
lows:
81 have your recent favor, expressing
your Endorsement OF the Lincoln memo
rial road from Washington 10 Gettysburg.
Ii is my Judgment that while such a. road
would be much better than a monument
or statue in Washington, Still II does not
60 tar enough 10 unlle the sentiment and
utility which memorial 10 Lincoln ought
to. | have contended Tor memorial
road running from Washington, the scene
OF LlnColnS greatest services and his
death, to his birthplace in Kentucky.
This would unite the North and South,
would solve the crossing OF the Allegheny
mountains with a roadway, would fur
niSh military road from Washington 10
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, and
would be highway across the Alleghe-
nyS from East to West and North 10
South. 1t would at once embrace the
greatest utility with practically all OF the
sentiment in Lincoln'S lite. really be-
lieve that il the public understood that
this latter suggestion Of mine would be
as easy OF contamination as the road 10
Gettysburg, the advocates OF the latter
plan would practically unanimously favor
my proposition. Please think about il IN
the light OF my suggestions"
This is noble plan OF Senator Chill
toms and it ought to have the approval Of
Congress. We know OF no enterprise
that would meet with heartier approval
of the people than this splendid begin
ming of a government system OF good
roads.

After Many Years.


George Conley who resides with his
sister, Mrs. Annetta TruSSell, at Bardane,
has his daughter, Mrs. Prudence A. Smith,
visiting him from st. Louis, Mo. Her
visit to the county brings to light an in
teresting story. While Mr.. Conley was
living with his family in St. Louis, an es-
arrangement occurred when Mrs. Smith
was baby six months old. Her father
came back to his native county, leaving
his family in the West. Mrs. Conley mar
ried again, land her daughter grew to wom-
anhood without knowing that her father
was living. She discovered, however,
that her father was probably living in
West Virginia, and began correspond
ence in order to find him. Letters address,
ed to him were sent to numerous poStof-
fees in the State. All were returned to
her uncalled for. In some way she loca-
ted him finally, and long cherished
wish TO visit him has been gratified. Mrs.
Smith will return to St. Louis in a few
days, with the hope of making frequent
trips east TO see her father.-Adpocate.

lamps on Main street at King and Prin-
cess streets have been replaced with new
ones, another arc has been installed at
Church street, and in few days tile
fourth new one will be put up near the
railroad station. All of these lamps are
of 900 candle power, and midway the
squares new l00-watt tungsten lamps
will be placed. These new lamps will
give Main street a metropolitan appear
ance, and greatly improve its looks by
night. Several additional lights have
been installed on the side streets. These
Improvements have been made by Su-
perintendent John Woods under the d.
rection OF Mayor Martin and the electric

WAR Among tine colored Folks.

Il
A dance in the old garage near the
freight station, participated in by num-
Der of colored men and women, last
Monday night, ended in fierce fight in
which several persons were badly hurt.
As usual, whiskey was at the bottom OF
the trouble. The fun had gotten fast and
furious by midnight, and soon thereafter
things began TO happen. A riot was
started when Raymond DevonShire and
Edward Polk got into mix-up. There
was the usual preliminary cuSSing and
elimination, and then the two clinched.
Polk fell underneath, and Devonshire
gave him some fearful blows in the face.
They were separated, but as soon as
they got to their feet Devonshire again
knocked Polk down. In the meantime
number OF other men and several
women Joined in the melee. Stones flew
in every direction, fists and weapons
were used, knives and razorS flashed.
DevonShire came out of the scrap in the
most unfortunate condition. He had a
fearful cut in the leg that DR.. Buuell
afterward had 10 put eight stitches in,
there were four stab wounds in the
shoulder, his forehead had another bad
wound, there was cut in the back Of
his head, and one of his thumbs had been
chewed almost in two. Worst of all, a
brand-new thirty dollar suit OF clothes
was in ribbons, hopeless subject for
the rag-bag. Polk was in bad condition,
also. A blow in the mouth had swollen
and distorted his face almost beyond
recognition, one eye was closed and
badly damaged, and he had a painful cut
under his chin. Other participants in the
fight sustained lesser damage.
Constable Shipley was aroused about
three o'clock and started in to round up
the rioters, who were found here and
there about town. A number of arrests
were made and the prisoners put in the
lookup. AT three O'Clock Tuesday the
offenders had their trials before Magis-
trates Rentch and Pendleton, where
charges and COUNTER charges were heard.
The testimony seemed TO indicate that
Polk had cut Devonshire, and he was
committed TO jail in Charles Town TO
await the action Of the grand jury. HIS
wife, Jessie, was accused OF having a
razor in her possession, and under the
stringent law concerning the carrying OF
concealed weapons she was sentenced to
six months in the county Jail at Charles
Town. DevonShire was fined s. and
costs.
There is pretty general opinion that
these social events that are held in the
old garage should be declared nuisance.
II is said that the behavior there is shock
ingly indecent, and usually there's drink
ing and carouSing and fighting as part
OF the programme. One Of the witnesses
on Tuesday testified that negro from
Martinsburg called Peg was the diSpen-
ser of the liquid refreshments.

In Realms of Rest.

II is with deep regret that we announce
the death of Mrs. Isabel Goldsborough
wife of Mr.. Edmund Lee Goldsborough
which occurred TUESDAY night at her home
at the Woodley Apartments in Washing
ton City. Mrs. Goldsborough had been
an invalid for anumber OF years, suffering
from a peculiar form of heart trouble
Recently her two children sustained an
attack of whooping cough, and she ap-
peared to be affected also by the disease.
II was more than her frail constitution
could endure, and she grew more and more
feeble, until she quietly passed away
Tuesday night. Mrs. Goldsborough,
whose maiden name was McCalla, was
about AZ years of age, and most of her
life was spent in Washington. For some
years past she has lived at Iceland, " al
the edge OF Shepherdstown, during the
summer months, and those who knew her
were devotedly attached to her. Although
suffering much from bodily pain, she was
nevertheless so cheerful and bright and
happy, so sweet OF disposition and so
kind OF heart, that she endeared herself
TO all who came in contact with her. Her
hospitality was unbounded, and her home
was nearly always filled with friends
whom she delighted to have about her.
Her death will be regretted by many who
had enjoyed the sweetness of this happy
Christian home. She is survived by her
husband, and two children, Helen Louise
and Edmund Lee GoldSbor ough, also a
sister, Mrs. Enoch Thompson. Those
who are bereaved have the sincerest
sympathy of their friends here. The flu
neral is announced for today, in Wash
ington.
Joseph Myers retired farmer OF Jeffer-
son county and respected resident OF
the southern section, died last Wednes-
day at the home Of his daughter, Mrs. J.
Lee Hulver, near Ripon. His death was
caused by heart disease, from which he
had suffered for long time. Mr.. Myers,
who was IS years old, was the last OF his
generation, and his daughter, Mrs. Hulver,
is his only child.
Edward E. Kibourn, president OF the

Red Tape and Matrimony.

Miss Ysabel Potts Lands, of Philadel-
phia, niece of Henry w. Potts, ESQ.,, o.
Shepherdstown, where she occasionally
visits Mr.. Potts's family, is engaged to
be married to Lieutenant Baron Otto Won
Borcke, of the German Navy, and the
wedding was set for June 22d. So many
formalities, however, must be observed
before the German government will per-
nit the marriage, that the happy event
may have TO be postponed. A dispatch
from Berlin, Germany, to the New York
Times of Saturday last says:
Miss Lands arrived in Berlin tort
night ago with her aunt. Mrs. Sarah K.
Carpenter, of Philadelphia. in order to
complete arrangements for the wedding
on June y. The red tape requirements
of the German matrimonial code, how
ever, have been enforced TO such degree
that it may be necessary to postpone the
ceremony until the autumn.
Miss Lands and Mrs. Carpenter have
modified the full strength of the Amer
lean diplomatic and consular authorities
in Berlin, so far in vain. The German
authorities continue to demand document
after document proving beyond the shad-
ow of doubt that Miss Lands is entitled
to bestow her heart and hand upon her
German fiance. The bride-elect has
produced everything imaginable, includ-
ing her birth certificate, as well as those
of both of her deceased parents, a certi-
fled copy of their marriage license, and a
passport attesting that she is an Amerl-
can citizen, who is still entitled to the
protecting caresses ofthe stars and stripes.
Her aunt and guardian, Mrs. Carpenter,
finally made a solemn oath that there was
nothing to prevent Miss Lands from
wedding the man of her choice and full
filled various other requirements imposed
upon an American girl who marries into
the German Army.
The ladies thought that they had sup
piled enough evidence to entitle Miss
Lands to enter the German Imperial FAM
lily, but the marriage registry office bowled
them over this week with the announce
ment that none OF the documents submit
ted would be acceptable until they had
been inspected and stamped 80. X" by
the German Consul General at Philadel-
phia.
Anybody who has ever weathered a
storm with bureaucratic German official
dom knows the hopelessness OF trying to
adjust so weighty matter over distance
of a, 900 miles within period OF four
weeks. That is why Miss Lands and
Baron Won Borcke are contemplating an
enforced postponement OF their marriage
for four or five months.
Baron Won Borcke is known at New
port and other American harbors which
he visited last year when serving on board
the training ship Victoria Louise. He is
a nephew of Gen. Won Borcke, the dis
tinguished German soldier, who fought
on the Confederate side in the American
civil war.
