bett What .Mitchell Say.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 21. There
was certainly :i spectacular feature in
the record of pugilism in Jacksonville
yesterday. Nearly nil the inilitininen of
tho stato of Florida arrived in the city
from ordern given by Governor Mithell.
' Sheriff Broward has concluded that
an injunction of the court might prove
to lw tin instrument of some conse
quence. This is the tmb-it.'iiicu of what
bo says today: ''I want to tell you
that this fiy;ht won't take place in
Duval county, but if the judge in the
court decides that the governor is
wrong and an injunction is right, why,
thou that is all 1 have got to say about
it."
I Tho manner of the ofhViul was that
of n man who was willing to admit
that he might bo stopped wituout being
bottled up.
Argument upon Mm bill praying for
an injunction was called in the circuit
court lx;foro Judge Call and argument
of both sides is being presented. Judge
Call is understood to bo of tho deter
mination to grant tho injunction prayed
for if tho argument presented can con
vince him that such contest, as is indi
cated in tho articles of agreement, is
not illegal.
All of the members of tho command
now hero aro from points from outside
of Jacksonville and many of them wero
not slow when seen outside of quarters
to express their anger that they had
been ridiculed during their march up
Bay street. They assert loudly that
they aro hero to obey the commands of
their superiors anil if tlie governor
should send orders to proceed to ex
tremities to provont tho proposed mill
they would act as soldiers should act
under such orders. Tho opinion seems
to bo general, however, that there will
bo no occasion for any oxtreme meas
ures. Manager Kolly did not got tho cold
cash ho was after yesterday, and tho
club will ttiko no action towards con
verting tho check into tho coin of tho
realm until some decisive point is
reachod to tho legal proceedings pend
ing, notwithstanding Kelly's statement
of "No money, no light." Tho talk that
a postponement of tho fight was pro
posed seems to have been extremely
distasteful to Charley Mitchell, who in
an interview with an Associated Press
reporter at Auastatiu isl md said ho
would not consent to tho postpone
ment unless it is made worth his
while.
Tho members of tho Duval club say
there is no danger of tho fight being
declared off. They assert that tho ru
mors to this effect which havo been
circulated are unfounded.
Corbett money was a littlo more
plentiful last night than it has hitherto
been. About 50 betB were placed with
Henry Stedoker, tho prevailing odds
being 100 to 40 on Corbett.
Warren Lowis offers $ 10,000 even
that Corbett will win in 20 rounds,
with no takers as yet.

Kevolt Agalilftt the Iinrirnnce Combine
In IturlliiRton.
BuiiLlNOTO.v, la., Jan. 21. Local in
surance men are in a rage over the
recent circular letter sent out by In
spector Redfield'of Davenport applying j
the 80 per cent, co-insurance clause on
all mercantile risks when either build- .
ing or stock is of the value of $10,000 i
or upwards, and on all special hazards.
The provision of this clause is that the
insured shall maintain insurance on i
property insured to tho extent of at
least SO per cent, of its actual cash
value, ami that, failing to do so, the in- j
Riired shall be tv co-iimurer to the ex-
tent of such deficit and shall bear hi-)
proportion of any loss. i
This means that the insurance com
bine now undertakes to dictate not only
what rate the insured shall pay. hut
how much insurance he shall pay for,
and if he dees not cairv all thev think
ho should it makes him stand the dif
ference in case of loss. It is character
ized by local agents as a greedy, high
handed ruling, and will result in a de
termined revolt against the mnbine.
The local acuta are given no discre
tion in the matter, and are bound to en
force the demand of tho combine, but
they will not let the matter pass with
out protest and a meeting to decide
upon a course of action will bo held this
week.

A ohl Ciiskct I'or Gladstone.
Madhiu, Jan. 24. All tho political
parties iu the Basque Provinces havo
united in sending to Mr. Gladstone at
Biarritz a message of admiration, ac
companied by a gold inlaid casket, con
taining a sprig from the historic oak at
Guernica, the meeting place of parlia
ment of Basque senators, who origin
ally silt lieneath the canopy of the an
cient oak, which is still borne on tho
shield of the town. Tho present oak
Was plauted about 1811. In 1704 the
French cut down the ancient oak,
which was a refuge for debtors, as no
Basque could bo arrested without a
summons to appear under it, learn tho
charge against him, and thus prepare
his defense. Hence tho oak is regarded
as a symbol of Basque liberty.

Tho Scott Harrison Case.
Washington, Jan. 24. There ia an
other chapter to the Scott Harrison
case. The treasury department thus
far has taken no action to put into ef
fect the rejection. The officials there

may even continue to discharge the
duties of tho office until the session
ends if the president does not choose to
send in a successor. Senators take
different view. They insist that with
the rejection Mr. Harrison's tenure
ceases and that it is the duty of the sec
retary to put someone elso temporarily
iu charge of tho office. It is understood
that Senator Vest will wait a few days
longer and thou, if Mr. Harrison is still
in control of tho office, he will intro
duco in tho senate -i resolution demand
ing of Secretary Carlisle an explanation
of the evasion of tho spirit of the law.

liar Clrcumntanccii.
Nashvili.i:, Jan. 24. At Bridgeport,
whero tho Nashville and Chattanooga
railroad crosses the Tennessee river,
near Chattanooga, there was a eingular
accident, in which John Lively lost his
life. Wild rumors that the bridge had
blown down were at first circulated,
but they proved untrue. The accident
was occasioned by tho high wind, and
came about in this manner. The gov

to be opened, and the three men who
usually attended to that duty went on
the draw and began to open it. The
wind was high and blowing in gusts.

wind stuck one end of it with such
force tiiit if caused tho wrenches to re
volve rajitiy and a wrench striking
John Lively," the heivl watchman, he
was thrown into the river and drowned.
He was 45 years old and had been in the
employ of the road for a uumlor of
years.
Orders havo been issued hereafter
not to open the bridge when the wind
is high enough to endanger life in this
way. This is the first accident of this
sort know to have occurred.

him. Reaching down he unstrapped
his wooden leg and using it for a
weapon he attacked tho porter. A hard
fight ensued, during which the porter's
lantern was demolished. At one time
the fight looked like it would become

man with the woonen leg was put off
the train. Ho immediately got into a
quarrel with an ofiicer of tho law, and
during tho scuffle ho received a sovero
rap on the head. He was taken care of
