SULLIVAN ON THE FIGHT.
He Says Fitzsimmons and Corbett Are W ind
Jammers.
Chicago Special to Times-Democrat
' "I feel tough!" John L. Sullivan locked
It. and the roar he let out emphasized It
bs he stepped off a Detroit train today on
his way to Hot Springs.
“Fight?" Oh, they're a lot of wind-jam
iners, them fellows." said Sullivan, in
trust him
You want Scott’s Emul
sion. If you ask your dr ug
gist for it and get it—you
can trust that man. But if
he offers you “ something
just as good,” he will do the
same when your doctor
writes a prescription for
which he wants to get a
special effect — play the
game of life and death for
the sake of a penny or two
more profit. You can’t
trust that man. Get what
you ask for, and pay for,
whether it is Scott’s Emul
sion or anything else.

P
answer to a query; “yes, the fight will
come off. Think I’d give up a lot of good
dates if we didn’t have a line that it wa<
coming off? Not on your life. Naw, I
won’t referee it. George Sler’ll do that
if John Duffy don't. Corbett's sore on
Slier. He’s sore on anybody he thinks
won't give him all the best of it. He's
looking for that all the time. So’s Bill
Brady. Naw, I ain’t sore on Corbett; at
that I ain’t stuck on’m. I'd like to see
him win ’cause I want the championship
to stick in America. Fltz is good nuff
fellow, but he’s {Jigheaded. Them wind
fighters kill the game, see? I like a fight
er as'll fight. Jimmy Barry’s the boy.
He's on the level, he is. No mouth fighter
about him. How’ll it come out? Well,
I’m getting $1750 for wrltin’ me opinion
on it for a New York paper, see? Well,
so long boys; wish yer was goin’ wld me;
so long.”
Sullivan was accompanied by Mrs. Sul
livan. Dr. McNamara, Paddy Ryan, Tom
my Ryan, I. J.. Johnson, Harry Pldgeon
and the party was in charge of "Parson”
Davies. The party reached the city in
the morning at 7 o’c B c from Detroit.
Early as was the hour, a number were at!
the station to meet Sullivan.
The crowd at the station to see John
L. gave evidence that Sullivan, although
a defeated man, is still a popular pugilist
ic Idol. None of the sporting fraternity
of Chicago took passage on the train for
Hot Springs. The Sullivan party had
transportation through, and the station
employes said no tickets had been sold
for the scene of the great glove contest.

FITZ A! CORBETT MET
_ t
But Neither One Seemed Anx
ious to Fight.
THE CHAMPION WAS GIDDY
An Injunction Has Been Issued Against the
Sports—This Ends All Chances
for a Fight.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 1.—Corbett and
Fitz will not fight In Arkansas. This
proposition Is settled ak nearly as any
thing can be settled. When It Is added
that the pugilists admit themselves that
the game Is up It may be conceded that
the courts and the governor have won.
Corbett and his rival would be glad to
be anywhere out of this state under a
promise never to return or revisit tt.
Fltz, Corbett, Brady and Julian are to
night asleep in the same hotel, guarded
by a deputy sheriff. The judiciary has
not only maintained Its hold upon the
pugilistic contingent, but has added
fresh meshes to the web in which they are
entangled, and Governor Clarke, looking
more like Henry Clay than ever, sits in
his office and in a smiling way declares
that he has only begun his campaign, and
that his strongest cards are still In re
serve.
The chief events of the day were the
arrival of Corbett and his party from
Hot Springs, the proceedings in the cir
cuit and chancery courts, and last, and
most important of all, the Issuance by
Chancellor Martin of a sweeping omni
bus injunction restraining pretty nearly
everybody In Arkansas from having any
part In a fight at Hot Springs or else
where In this state. It Is a legal docu
ment which has destroyed the last hope
of the fight promoters. The principals
and their backers throw up their hands
and admit themselves bested. The pugil
ists and their friends had discounted
about every other possibility, but the in
junction was the one thing they had not
thought of. It was not alone unexpect
ed, but it was stunning In Its force, and
when the news became current It was ad
mitted on every side that Arkansas was
no longer debatable ground; that If Fitz
and Corbett were to fight at all It must be
in other territory than that so jealously
guarded by Governor Clarke.
The recognition of this fact also sets
the matchmakers at work afresh, and
late tonight there is a prospect that If the
pugilists can make their peace with the
Arkansas authorities on the condition of
getting out of the state they may yet,
meet in the ring before a select company
for a side bet of $10,000 each.
Corbett and his party, consisting of;
Manager Brady, Billy Delaney, Jim Mc
Vey and John Donaldson, arrived at 10
o’clock this morning from Hot Springs.
They registered at the Capitol hotel,
where Fitzsimmons and Julian are
guestB, but the distinguished pair did not
meet until dinner time. The meeting was
in the nature of a disappointment to
those who expected them to fly at each
other. Nothing, on the contrary, could
have been more amicable, not to say frol
icsome than their action. Corbett, who
had entered the dining room some time
before Fitz made his appearance, finished
his dinner, and in leaving the room
passed close to the table at which Fitz
was seated. There was a glance of mu
tual recognition. Then Corbett stopped
for a minute, gazed benevolently at his
rival and performed the dancing move
ment known as “chasseszall,” a rapid
side step in quick time. Having executed
this fete he stopped, smiled again and
wafted a kiss from the tips of his fingers
to Fitz, who grinned amicably in return.
The champion then put his hand to the
side of his mouth and in a stage whis
per ejaculated the single syllable, “Boo,”
which It will be remembered was agreed
upon two weeks ago as a signal for hos
tilities when the men should meet. Evi
dently, however, ^t had lost its signifi
cance, for instead of provoking Fitz to
wrath it merely caused him to smile all
the more amicably, and after blowing
another kiss to his rival the champion
passed out of the room without any blood
having been spilled. This ended the fore
noon's entertainment, which had been
somewhat in the nature of a comedy.
Soon after dinner the court proceedings
began. The case against Fitz before Cir
cuit Court Judge Martin came on first.
The defendants, with their counsel. Colo
nel Murphy of Little Rock and City At
torney Martin of Hot Springs, appeared
and, assisted by General Hemingway, an
nounced the non-arrival of the witness
from Hot Springs. Colonel Murphy de
clared that It was merely a subterfuge
on the part of the state to prevent a
trial, and Insisted that the hearing
should go on. The court, however, could
see no hardships In postponing the case.
After a little sparring between the at
torneys, the case went over until tomor
row.
The attorney-general said he wanted
to bring witnesses from Hot Springs for
the Brady case. The usual objection was
made by Colonel Murphy. There was
a forensic wrangle. Colonel Murphy pull
ing one way and Attorney-General Klngs
worthv the other. Finally the court In
tervened In a little tilt, which showed
pretty plainly the atltude of the Little
Rock Judiciary toward prize fighting.
Chancellor Martin Is a little man. with
nearly gray hair and a chin beard. He
wears a ruffled shirt and a low cut vest,
and might sit for a portrait of Opie
Read's “Kentucky Colonel.” He spoke
slowly, but with evident earnestness.
"It is Idle to pretend," he said, "that
this case is an ordinary application for a
peace bond. It is a matter of common
notoriety all over the United States that
these men, together with certain unwor
thy citizens of Arkansas, have been try
ing to bring off a prize fight in Garland
county. They have been warned to de
sist. The supreme court has passed upon
the unlawful nature of the enterprise.
They have been cautioned by the govern
or and they have received warnings from
other officers of authority. In spite of
all this, they have persisted in their at
tempt to break the laws of the state. I
propose to Investigate the matter thor
oughly. I do not blame these prize fight
ers so much as I do the recreant citizens
and officers of this state who have aided
and abetted them in theirpnlawful enter
prise. I Shall give the attorney-general
ample time to produce witnesses in this
matter. He shall have all the time he
requires. The case will be adjourned un
til 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
There was a hum of surprise in the
x>ourt room when the chancellor made
this decision against the Hot Springs
people, and it was to bo Impressed on the
pugilists and their friends that the pro
ceedings were likely to prove more se
rious than what they had bargained for.
But this feeling was mild in comparison
with the sensation that was caused when
it became known that Chancellor Martin
had granted an injunction restraining
James J. Corbett, Robert Fttzslmmons,
W. A. Brady, Martin Julian, Joe Vendlg,
N. K. Wheelock, W. L. Babcock, Reb
Houpt, W. W. Wateri, Peter Maher,
Steve O'Donnel, W. M. Delaney and oth
ers unnamed from engaging In or fos
tering prize fights in. the city of Hot
Springs or elsewhere In the state of Ar
kansas. The Injunction was issued at the
Instance of the state of Arkansas ex rel.,
T. B. Kinsworthy.
The petition recites at great length the
history of the projected prize fights ami
declares that "as the officers of Hot
Springs are engaged In the conspiracy
the threatened crimes cannot be stopped
by ordinary methods and the fights will
be held unless stopped by the court.’’
The injunction was admitted on all
hands to be a knockout blow to all hopes
of a fight. The writ is not returnable un
til twenty days from date, and although
a motion to dissolve can be made In the
meantime there Is little hope that Judge
Martin will entertain, much less grant it.
A delay of twenty days In pulling off the
fight would be as fatal as tw'enty weeks
or twenty years, and any attempt to vio
late the injunction would be surely fol
lowed by imprisonment for contempt ot
court.
Deputy Cooper Scores Julian and Fits.
Texarkana, Ark., Nov. 1.—Sheriff
Houpt and Deputy Sheriff Cooper, who
were sent here to arrest the Fitzsimmons
party and convey them In safety to Hot
Springs, condemn the Australian and Ju
lian, his manager. In the strongest terms.
Deputy Cooper, In an Interview with a
representative of the Associated Press,
gave a history of their meeting with Fitz
simmons. He said:
"We met Fitzsimmons and Julian at
Marshall this afternoon and Informed
them that It was impossible for them
to get through Texarkana without being
arrested; that Mr. Houpt and myself had
a warrant for his arrest; that we wanted
to serve ours first so that we could take
him to the Springs.
"He flatly refused to have anything to
do with Sheriff Houpt or myself, adding
that Corbett and party had passed
through Texarkana without molestation,
and that he proposed to do the same
thing. I told him It would be utterly
Impossible for him to do this, as the
sheriff of Miller county had positive In
structions from Governor Clarke to take
him away from the Hot Springs officers,
even if It were necessary to arrest them
first. At this he said: 'I know my busi
ness.’
"We told him we had provided a spe
cial train for him at the Cotton Belt
crossing; that It was an absolute cinch
that we could evade the Texarkana offi
cers If he would consent to take this
train at the Cotton Belt crossing, and
we had a clear track to Malvern, and
could guarantee him a safe Journey to
the Springs.
"Sheriff Houpt also told him the same,
but he would not consent to these propo
sitions, but maintained that he, as a citi
zen of the United States, had a right to
go through the state of Arkansas with
out fear of arrest.
“On arrival at the Cotton Belt crossing
the train was stopped. A representative
of the Cotton Belt road came aboard the
sleeper, and after having Julian pointed
out to him, he approached him and told
him that he had a special train at his
disposal, and to Julian's credit we must
say that he was the first man that he
treated with courtesy. He said to the
official: ’I thank you for your kind offer,
but we are going through Texarkana.’
"On our arrival at Texarkana Mr. Ju
lian was more than anxious to see the
. color of the Miller county officers’
badges. He went so far as to ask if they
were the officers of the governor; that if
they were the government officials they
wanted to bo arrested by them, and not
by Hot Springs officers. In order to
evade the Hot Springs authorities he
called upon the officers In the sleeper
to have Sheriff Houpt and myself ejected
from the sleeper. We presume that he
wanted to make sure that he would be
arrested by writs from Little Rock. This
was done, and he was landed to his entire
satisfaction. Every action showed he
did not want to go to Hot Springs, and
he did everything to allow himself to be
taken by the officers he thought would
land him anywhere except at the
Springs."
Sheriff Houpt and his deputy were
brought here by Lee Giles of Hope, a
special state officer, who is holding them
for Sheriff Dillard.
Pit* Never Intended to Fight.
Hot Spring's, Nov. 1.—William Brady
said tonight, when informed that Fltz
had refused to take the special train
which would have brought him to Hot
Springs in time for a fight tomorrow:
“That man never intended to fight Cor
bett and he did not come here because
he knew that nothing would save him
from a fight if he did so. Corbett is right
now in Hot Springs and he has been here
since 1 o'clock this afternoon. He is
ready to fight at a moment’s notice and I
have $10,000 in bills in the safe of the Ar
lington hotel waiting to be put up."

crowd eager to hear the conclusion of the
case of Miss Gibson vs. Mrs. Todd. Judge
Minor having Instructed the Jury, coun

Bued for $10,000 damages, alleging that
Mrs. Todd had injured her In her occupa

had said in effect that Mrs. Hatcher, the
wife of the Rev. Dr. Hatcher, pastor of
the Grace Street Baptist church, was a
kleptomaniac, she (Miss Gibson) having
been discharged by her employers for
that reason. Miss Gibson denied positive
ly that she had ever made such a remark
about Mrs. Hatcher._

THE MISSIOMS.
St. Paul's Capacity Taxed—Interest in the Mis
sions Continues Unabated—An Able
Sermon Last Night.
The interest in the mission at St. Paul's
church continues unabated. The church
was tested to its utmost capacity last
night. A large number of non-Catholics
were among the congregation. The Rev.
Father Smith spoke on the feast of to
day. and of the commemoration of the
faithful departed. He showed clearly
from the scripture the doctrine held by
the church regarding the existence of a
middle state, proving the thesis he took
for his text by the words of the holy scrip
ture. "This is the holy and the whole
some thought to pray for the dead that
they may be freed from their sins." He
showed that at this special time the souls
who are gone before us and received
Judgment from the most just of judges
who are not wicked enough to be eternal
ly separated from God ought to go imme
diately after the soul’s separation from
the body to enjoy the beatific vision of
God. They are contained on account of
slight fault, what we call venial slnH,
and are not satisfying God's Justice for
the temporal punishment annexed to mor
al guilt, or detained on the road to Heav
en in that middle state of which the
church, oalls purgatory. As they cannot
of themselves acquire any merit they ap
peal to us in the words of holy scripture,
saying have pity on me; you, at least, my
friends, have pity on me,for the hand of
the Lord is upon me. He then exhorted
his hearers to pray for those who have
gone before, for after they had obtained
the kingdom of God they in turn will In
tercede with God that those who secured
their deliverance and placed them in the
presence of God would one day be par
takers of the Joys they were then In pos
session of.
Rev. Father Touman followed with a
discourse of the evening on tihe mercy
of God. Showing that so far as the firma
ment is from the earth so far is God’s
mercy abo\f all his works. He pictured
God's meroy from sinners of different
stages, reciting Mary Magdalene, who
was known to be a public sinner, Peter,
who denied his Master, and the example
of the prodigal, making the prodigal the
pclnolpal portion of the discourse, repre
senting him under three different stages;
the departure from hlB father's house,
where he enjoyed all the earthly comfort
that a father could give to his son, the
low state to which he wa» brought after
he had spent his fortune In rlotouB liv
ing, forced from dire necessity In a coun
try visited by famine to earn his living
by herding swine. In strong dramatic
language he described the hardships at
tending the life of a swteeherder. who.
)
through'his Intimate association with the
animals, became as one of them. This
was likened to the degredaton of the sin
ner or one separated from God through
mortal sin. The comparison showed the
prodigal's return to his father, hts recep
tion and hts forgiveness. So does God
wish to extend forgiveness to sinning hu
manity and as the father of the prodi
gal forgave the waywardness of his son.
In order to be fully appreciated the ser
mons by the eminent priest should be
heard as they are delivered from the
platform.
The services will continue at 5, 6 and 8
o’clock a. m., and 7:30 o’clock p. m.
