After leaving the court room Corbett came down the street, and stopping at the Globe, received a great ovation and shook hands with the crowd until his arms must have ached. Together with his party he went to the Florida Central and Peninsular depot, where the special train awaited to carry the world-beater through to New York.

After the lapse of a month, wtaemthe present feeling has subsided, the trial can be had freed from all extraneous influences. It is the determination of the state authorities to convict these parties if there is any law for it, and I believe that the law against fighting by appointment under our statute has been violated. If Corbett and others fail to appear for trial their bonds, which are large in amount, will be sued on and the defendants will be ex tradited from the states where they re side, upon the application of Gov. Mitchell. The cases at the proper time will be vigorously prosecuted.” the club breaks up in a bow. The Duval club no longer exists. It broke up in a row to-day. Some hard names passed between one of the mem bers and Mr. Bowden, whose management was severely criticised. Mr. Bowden has j washed his bands of the whole business. He says that he will never try to get up another prize fight. this one has kept him awake nights with worry. The other members of the club are goiug to reorganize with outside capital. They are planning to build a fine club house, with the ex pectation of having at least three events every winter. The club house will be on the plan of those in New Orleans, and the other large cities where pugilism has heretofore flourished. A boxing instruc tor will be employed. A SALOON KEEPER WINS SI,OOO. Lou Sihler, of the Globe saloon, comes out a thousand or so winner and about squares up his losses on Sullivan and Hall. Before Corbett left he gave Lou the glove that knocked out Mitchell. It will be put in a glass case and exhibited in the Globe. The club made the visiting newspaper men pay S2O each for admission. Bowden had wired a Cincinnati newspaper that representatives of the press would be ad mitted free and that they would be ac corded all courtesies. In the face of this, he made them pay. The club took in about SBI,OOO from ad missions. They w ill come out about even unless they are put to heavy expense in defending the prosecutions which have been brought. ALBANIANS TO FIGHT. They Will Face Each Other for a Purse if the Militia is Not Called Out. Albany, Ga., Jan. 26.—The successful pulling off of the Corbett-Mitcheli fight in Jacksonville despite the opposition of the governors of the two states has aroused the pugilistic spirit in this city, and the indications are that a lively mill will be fought in this city or hereabout in a short time. The proposed contestants for fistic honors are two heavy weight citizens who have signified their willingness to meet each other according to Marquis of Queensberry rules.* Steps were taken this afternoon to raise a purse and arrange for the combat. The arrangements are being conducted very quietly and only a few are yet in the secret. The men who will meet each other in the ring weigh 188 and 192 pounds respectively, and occupy good positions in society. If Gov. Northen does “turn out the guards” on them, the fight will come off inside of a month, and it is predicted that it will not be finished in the third round. Another sporting event in prospect is a cocking main, which is booked to come off at Davis’ store, a short distance over the Florida line, on Feb. 6. The main will be fought with fowls from this city, Thomasville and Tallahassee, and a good deal of money will be put up on the result. GOV NORTHEN BLAMED. The People at Jesup Think He Made a Fatal Political Mistake. Jesup, Ga., Jan. 26.—-Many unpleasant criticisms are made of Gov. Northen’s or dering out the militia and having them in the St. Mary’s swamps to meet an ex- Dected invasion. The members of the Wayne Light Troop are completely dis gusted, being called from their business to meet enemies from another state that did not have the remotest idea of invading Georgia. If the governor could hear the many unfavorable comments on his actions he would think the people of this section were honest in their conclusions that he had made a fatal political mis take. It is the unanimous opinion that any sheriff in Georgia could have arrested both Corbett or Mitchell without the aid of the militia. BRUNSWICK’S HORSE GUARDS. The Troopers Had an Uncomfortable Time While on Duty. Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 26.—The Bruns wick Horse Guards returned last night after the telegraph office closed from a day and a night spent in the woods on the Florida line, under orders from Gov. Nor then to intercept Corbett and Mitchell if they endeavored to cross the line. A cojd rain fell constantly while the troop paced guard duty, and when information was caught from the wire that the fight was over, Capt. Thomas was permitted by the Camden county sheriff to return to Bruns wick. The Guards were on duty thirty miles from a regular telegraph station and four miles from shelter. They slept on rice straw and were wet thoroughly. They did their duty, as ordered, but un derwent many discomforts. No official orders from the governor reached them to return, but a courier was eu route to notify them when met. DEATH IN A CABOOSE. A Freight Train Dashes Into it From the Rear. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 26.-An accommo dation and freight train which was stand ing at the water tank at Henderson, on the Seaboard Air Line, was run into by another freight train this morning at 5 o'clock. L. Bowman, of Richmond, and Rev. Mr. Shaw, of Portsmouth, who were in the rear caboose of the first train were killed, and Mr. Brodie, of Wurrentou, had a thigh broken. The first train was seven hours late anna flagman was sent back, but not far ehough to signal the second train down. Pops Against the Wilson Bill. Columbia. S. C..

New York. Jan. 26,-The members of the New York Cotton Exchange held a meeting this afternoon at the close business and adopted resclutions protest ing against the income tax, “g coupling of that measure with the taun bill. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1894. FREE SOUP AND THE TARIFF A Cniqne Plea Made Against Passing the Wilson Bill. Citizens of Streator, HI., Fear That They Will Have to Go to the Free Kitchens if the Bill is Passed—Sena tor Call Makes Another Speeoh on the Bights of Homestead Settlers on Bailroads. Washington, Jan. 26.—The usual num ber of memorials and petitions were pre sented at the opening of the session of the Senate to-day. Most of them were against the passage of the Wilson tariff bill. One of these was from eighty-two citizens of Streator, 111., saying: “We cannot feed, clothe and educate our fami lies and compete against the poorer paid labor of Europe. We are proud and don’t want to be humiliated .by asking for charity. How would any of you like to go to a soup house and sit down to free soup? We have pride as well as you. We ask you to defeat the Wilson bill and we will take care of ourselves.” All relating to that subject went to the finance committee. CALL AN’n THE HOMESTEADERS. The resolutions heretofore offered by Mr. Call, as to the protection of the rights of homestead settlers on railroad lands in Florida, were taken up and Mr. Cali ad dressed the Senate. At the conclusion of Mr. Call's remarks there was a long discussion as to what disposition should be made of the resolu tion—the question being whether they should go t to the judiciary committee, or to the committee on public lands. A mem ber of the latter committee, Mr. Dolph, dem., of Oregon, stated that for several congresses the same question substantial ly, had been before that committee, and that the same statement made about it; and that the committee had made five re ports adverse to the views of the senator from Florida. Finally the resolutions were referred to the judiciary committee. On motion of Mr. Harrison, it was ordered that when the Senate adjourn to-day it adjourn till next Monday. The Hawaiian resolution was laid be fore the Senate and was, on motion of Mr. Turpie, postponed till the morning hour of next Monday. THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL. The House bill to repeal the federal election laws was then taken up and Mr. Chandler renewed his suggestion to let the bill go over till next December:* He put his suggestion into a formal motion and demanded the yeas and nays upon it. The motion was defeated by a strict party vote. Teas, 20; nays, 28, Mr. Al len, pop., of Nebraska, voting with the democrats in the negative. Mr. Chandler resumed his argument against the bill, speaking until 8:30 o’clock, when, without concluding his re marks, Mr. Chandler yielded to a motion to go into executive session: and a few minutes tnereafter the Senate adjourned until Monday. WOBKING ON THE WILSON BILL. The House Denotes Another Day to the Amendments. Washington, Jan. 26.—The opponents of the income tax were prompt in raising the point of no quorum this morning, but when the resulting roll-call showed the presence of a quorum, the point was with drawn. Mr. Bailey, of Texas, from the Judici ary committee, favorably reported the resolution denying the right of the Sec retary of the Treasuryi to issue bonds save for resumption purposes. The resolution was referred to the House calendar. After the transaction of some routine business the House went into committee of the whole to consider the tariff bill, with Mr. Kichardson, of Tennessee, in the chair. An amendment was pending last evening, offered by Mr. Wilson to the schedule relating to dolls, doll heads, toys, marbles etc., and all other toys not composed of rubber, china, porcelain, parian, bisque, earthen or stoneware, providing that it should take effect Oct. 1, 1894. To-day Mr. Lockwood, dem., of New York, of fered an amendment to the paragraph, raising the duty on these articles from 25 to 35 per cent. He stated that he of fered this amendment in the interest of the women and children who were en gaged in the manufacture of toys in this country. A republican member tried to drive Mr. Lockwood into an admission that this would benefit the manufacturers. Mr. I-ockwood parried the question and refused to be cornered, and the only re sponse the republicans could get was that he expected the working women and children, to bo benefited by an Increase of the tariff. A great deal of badinage was indulged in on this question and free trade. Mr. Johnson, dem., of Ohio, asked if there was not enough grown people in the country without taxing the children. Mr. Harter, of Ohio, in the name of the millions of children in the country, spoke in the same strain. Mr. Lockwood’s amendment was lost on a viva voce vote. The amendment proposed by Mr. Wil son was then agreed to—ayes 136, nays 10. THE FIRST SCHEDULE. Mr. Wilson also offered the following amendments, which were agreed to with out debate: “In the paragraph regarding fish, in sert the words ‘salt water,’ so as to read: Herrings, pickled, frozen or salted; and salt water fish, frozen or packed in ice. % cent per pound.” 'in the free list tho clause reading “fish fresh,” was amended by adding tho words “frozen or packed in ice.” A lively debate was precipitated by Mr. Wilson’s amendment proposing a reduc tion of the duty on uncut diamonds and ail precious stones from 15 to 10 per cent, ad valorem. Mr. Alderson, dem., of West Virginia, offered a substitute to the pending sched ule, increasing the duty on cut diamonds from 15 per cent, to 50 per cent., and on rough or uncut diamonds to 25 per cent. A spicy political debate followed upon this amendment, but Mr. Alderson finally withdrew it and offered in place of it one fixing the duty on precious stones of all kinds, cut but not set, at 80 per cent, ad va lorem, and on precious stones not specially provided for in this act, including pearls, set or strung, 35 per cent, ad valorem, and on uncut precious stones 15 per cent, ad valorem. And also to strike off from the freelist “diamonds and other precious stones, rough or uncut,” but leaving in glaziers’ and engravers’ diamonds, dia mond dust and jewels for watches and clocks. ■ On a standing vote it was defeated by a vote of 76 to 68. Tellers were then de manded, and the substitute was then agreed to by a vote of 96 to 80. Mr. Wilson's amendment, as amended by Mr. Alderson, was then agreed to on a vote by tellers of lit to 83. THE TIN PLATE SCHEDULE. Mr. Outhwaite offered an amendment to the tin plate schedule, reducing tho duty from 1 1-5 cents per pound to 1 cent per pound. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, offered a substitute putting tin plate on the free list. The floodgates of eloquence were opened afresh by this subject, but finally Mr. Breckinridge offered to withdraw his amendment. • An objection was made by Mr. Johnson, dem., of Ohio. The amendment was then voted down—ayes 30, nays 184. The question was then taken on the amendment offered by Mr. Dalzell, rep., of Pennsylvania, to substitute the tin plate paragraph of the McKinley law for that in the pending bill, and it was re jected by a vote of 86 ayes to 144 nays. Mr. Outhwaite’s proposition was di vided and the question was first taken on reducing the rate from 1 1-5 cents a pound to 1 cent. It was rejected by a vote of 77 yeas t 0,136 nays. The second part of the amendment, providing that no rebate shall be allowed, was also defeated, with out a division. Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, moved to sub stitute the lumber paragraph in the Mc- Kinley act for that reported in the Wilson bill. No vote was readied on this propo sition. The lumber schedule went over till to-morrow morning, when another hour is to be given to it—the lead and zinc shedule to be taken up after lumber, and an hour given to it. And then at 5:30 o’clock the House took a recess till 8 o’clock p. m. Not even the unpropltious weather which came upon the city to-day was able to make any appreciable difference in the large attendance in tho galleries at the night session. The speakers of the even ing were: For the Tariff Bill—Messrs. Martin, of Indiana; De Armond, of Missouri; Dunn, of New Jersey; Fithian, of Illinois; Terry, of Arkansas and Dinsmore, of Arkansas. Against the Bill—Messrs. McCall, of Massachusetts; Adams, of Pennsylvania; Hartman, of Montana; Phillips, of Penn sylvania; Haugen, of Wisconsin and Heiner, of Pennsylvania. CARLISLE AND THE BONDS. Bailey’s Resolution .to Bs Favorably Reported to the House. Washington, Jan. 26.—The judiciary committee of the House, by a vote of 9 to 4, to-day ordered a favorably report on Representative Bailey's resolution ques tioning the right of Secretary Carlisle to issue bonds. The vote on the resolution was as follows: Ayes—Messrs. Bailey, of Texas, Goodnight, of Kentucky, Dear mond, of Missouri, democrats: and liay. of New York, Groff of lowa, W. A. Stone, of Pennsylvania, Broderick, of Kansas, Terry, of Arkansas, and ('lfflds, of Illi nois, republicans. Total 9. Nays- -Messrs. Layton, of Ohio. Stock dale, of Mississippi, Wolverton, of Penn sysvania, democrats; and Powers, of Vermont, republican. Total 4. Chairman Culberson did not vote. This discloses that the voting demo crats were evenly divided. Messrs. Bailey, Goodnight and Dearmond sustain ing the resolution and Messrs. Layton, Stockdale and Wolverton voting to lay it on the table. Six republican votes turned the scales in favor of the resolu tion questioning the secretary's power. T. B. Maguire, chairman of the execu tive committee of the Knights of Labor, arrived in Washington this afternoon to assist in the proceedings to be brought by the order in the effort to enjoin the issue of bonds con templated by Secretary Carlisle. He was seen in conference with Senator Allen, who transferred to him the petition drawn by Judge Cole of lowa for the pur pose of submitting it to local counsel. Mr. McGuire hoped to have had the suit begun this afternoon but in that lie was disappointed. Heliassecured theservices of Shellabarger & Wilson of this city, who will have charge of the case. Set' retary Hayes of the Knights of Labor reached tho city on another train and will remain for a day or two. J. Warner Mills, of Denver, who is in the city, will also be retained as counsel, and it is thought that the hearing will take place in a few days. The papers will be filed in the supreme court of the dis trlct to-morrow morning. Tho document is a very long one, and recites the alleged unlawful acts that the Secretary of tho Treasury Is about to commit, and prays for an injunction restraining him from issuing the bonds complaiped of. A con ference of tho attorneys in this case was had at Senator Allen’s rooms in the Miltby building this evening. GOLD DOWN TO $06,922,331. The Withdrawals Being Made to Be Returned For Bonde. Washington, Jan. 26.—The treasury de partment to-day lost in cash, as compared with yesterday, $1,800,000, making the net balance stand at the close of to-day’s business, $9,022,448, as follows: Gold, $66,- 922,831; currency, $23,099,117, less $7,294,- 798 for interest, making the true net bal ance in round figures, $82,700,000. This is the lowest net balance in the treasury in recent years and the gold bal ance to day stands lower than it over has since specie payments were resumed in 1875. The continued drain on the treas ury gold bears out the statements con tained in these dispatches within the past week or so that gold is being withdrawn from the treasury to enable its holders to purchase bonds under the circular of Secretary Carlisle. HAYTI’S CLOSED PORTS. Extr-me Measures to bs Adopted Against Small Traders. Washington, Jan. 26.—The Haytien government has given notice to the lega tion of the United States in Hayti of its intention to adopt extreme measures against small whalers and other Ameri can vessels putting in at closed ports of that republic and presumably carrying on contraband trade. Chinese Registering. Washington, Jan. 26.—There is no longer any doubt that the Chinese will register. A letter received from Mr. Welborn, collector of internal revenue for the San Francisco (Cal.) district, under date of Jan. 18, states that the Chinese in his district are registering now very rapidly. Confirmed By the Senate. Washington, Jan. 26.—The Senate has confirmed the following nomination: William I. Buchanan, of lowa, to be envoy extraordinary and minister pleni potentiary of the United States to the Argentine liepublio. GOV. NORTHEN FEELS HURT. The Criticisms on His Action Felt to be Unjust He Had Private Information That the Fight Was to be Fought in This State If it Could Not be Held in Florida—The Governor Anxious to Hake the State's Expenses as Small as Possible. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 26.—Gov. Northen resumed his duties in the executive office to-day, “wearing that worried look.” His two days’ campaign against the pugilists, with all the perplexity with which it was involved, was trying to his nervous system and he confessed to being pretty well fagged out, but it is his seusitiveness to the criticism that is being passed upon liis action, and not so much the fatigue of his duties, that annoys the governor. “I have been criticised not only by the papers,” said the governor, “but I have received some very abusive letters in regard to the course I took in this prize fight matter. I am always glad to have the general commendation of my public actions, yet I recognize that my official acts are open to criticism by the people, and I am always glad to have an ex pression, whether favorable or unfavora ble, so that I may learn what is the tem per and spirit of our people. But at the same time every criticism has its sting." CRITICS LACKING IN INFORMATION. The governor thinks much of the criti cism is due to the limited information of the public as to the facts which influ enced him to act as he did and, after re viewing tho situation, he does not even now see how he could act otherwise, if it were all to be pone over again. “We are all liable to make mistakes,” ho said. “But I only did what 1 conscien tiously believed to be my duty. I bad no personal feeling In the matter and it is absurd to characterize my action as the result of my own ‘cranky?’. notions about such things. Personally, I know nothing of glove contests, or prize fights. I know them only by the reputation given them by tho states aud by the people whose eivilizatlon will not tolerate, and whose law3 will not allow them. Therefore, on generul prin ciples, believing the people of Georgia would not accept and allow a brutal out rage not tolerated by New York, Califor nia, Louisiana, Mississippi or Mexico, I proceeded to determine whether or not there was sufficient authority in our law to prevent one occurring in Georgia.” The governor was absolutely convinced that the sluggers would meet in this state and feels that Gov. Mitchell sold him out, so to speak, by throwing up the sponge at the critical moment. EXPECTED AN INVASION. “I had reliablo information from a gen tleman in tho city whose position give him the opportunity to know positively that the light would take place in Geor gia. He came to my residence and put me on notice and I could not for a mo ment doubt this information. I had in formation from other sources also that this fight would be attempted on Georgia soil. I was war ranted in believing this, not only because of personal statements and many communications received, but by what appeared to be the determined action of the Florida officials in prevent ing the fight in that state, and what seemed to be the equally determined pur pose of the athletic club to have tho fight take place somewhere.” Gov. Northen, when he was satisfied that the light was coming this way, se cured the best legal opinion as to tile in tended violation of the law, and then be fore his preparations to get in a scoop on the sluggers, he put himself in communi cation with the civil officers in the border counties, and through them sent three trusted spies into Jacksonville to keep him posted. Their reports up to the last indicated that the fight was to bo had in Georgia. WANTED TO KEEP DOWN THE EXPENSE. “I desired to make tho expenses of the defense as little as possible,” continued the governor, “and accordingly I went to Waycross to get positive and absolute in formation on two points. I went to deter mine, first, the purposes of the club, and second, whether the civil forces would be sufficient to resist. Tho re|>ort3 that l went to Waycross to take command of the militia myself are pure nonsense. I had instructed Col. Gordon to await my action at Waycross. After a full investigation’ 1 found that several places had been selected and a much larger extent "of territory must be protected than could be protected by the civil authorities. I therefore sup plemented this force by calling on the militia only after I found it necessary. Gov. Mitchell had declined to appear in court some weens ago when an effort was made to determine the power of tho stato to suppress this pro posed fight. The frequent statement that appeared in the papers that he would not respect any less authority than the supreme court, made it doubtful what he would do. He had martialed his forces anil every indication compelled me to believe the fight would not be allowed in that state, even after Judge Call bad granted the injunction. THE RAILROAD PREPARATIONS. “The railroad authorities at Waycross informed ine that they had a requisition for all their cars at Jacksonville, and a trustworthy citizen of Georgia (one of the three spies sent out to keep the gov ernor posted) came from Jacksonville in person to inform me that the Florida Central and Peninsular road had mussed a large number of cars and had ordered an unusual number of conductors to re port for duty on the morning of the 25th. As late as 11:15 o'clock on that date I re ceived the following telegram which made me feel sure that Gov. Mitchell had de termined to prevent the fight in his state, and that Georgia was sure to be the meeting ground, unless my efforts to pre vent it were successful. “Folkston, Ga., Jan. 24. -To Gov. Northen. Way. ross, Ua. One ot Sheriff Wuinwrlght deputies has returned from Boulogne. He re ports he was Informed if train 14 stopped at Camp Perry, the tight would take place there.

Batterlee to test the sentiment of the First reg iment. He did not want to call them out unless be was sure of their heartiest co operation. Lieut. Satterlee made the fol lowing report of his mission: State of Georgia, Adjutant and Inspector General s Office. Atlanta, Oe., Jan. 32. 994. To His Excellency Gov. William J. Northen: Governor—ln accordance with your verbal Instructions of Jan. 19, 1894, I have the honor to report that 1 proceeded on that day to Su vannah, Ga., and on Satunlav, Jan 20 1894, called upon and had a conference with Col.

Very respectfully, j oar obedient ser vant, c. B. Sattkrleb, Acting Assistant Adjutant GeneraL TRIAL OF THE HINKLES. Jane Barber’s Claim to Have Seen the Shooting Denied. Americus, Ga., Jan. 26. —The evidence for the defense in the Hinkle tidal was resumed this morning. L. J. Blalock, counsel for the defense, contradicted Jane Barbor and said she told him that she did not soo the shoot ing. D. F. Davenport was introduced to prove threats, and said he heard Dr. Worsham say, in a joking manner: “If they fool with me, they will both need a Dew set of teeth.” Dr. C. K. Chapman, a dentist, whose testimony was favorable to Hinkle in the Burt vs. Hinkle trial, proved the trump card for tho defense. Dr. Worsham showed him brass knuckles and heard him say: “Dumn them, 1 am fixed for them." On his cross examination the witness ad mitted that’Dr. Worsham never said or intimated that he intended to attack the Hinkles. The defense rested. THE CHIEF OF POLICE CONTRADICTED. In rebuttal, the stato called Policeman Barrow, who flatly contradicted Chief of Police Lamar, who swore that he told the Hinkles after the killing to go in their office and disarm themselves. He swore that Dr. J. B. Hinkle asked to go into the office and speak privately with his son Albert. Permission was granted by Chief Lamar, but that they did not put away any arms, as stated by Chief Lamar and Dr. Hinkle in his statement, that he afterwards found the two pistols, brass knuckles and knife in different drawers, as stated by other witnesses. THE DOCTORS ON THRIR VERANDA. Miss Viola Bell proved another im portant witness for tho prosecution. She was hurrying up town as it was late. On passing Dr. Hinkle's office saw Dr. J. B. Hinkle on tho south end of the veranda, and Dr. Albert Hinkle on the north end, positions claimed by leading witnesses for the state. She mot Dr. Worsham a short way up the street. As she reached Beall & Oakley's store she heard of the killing. t Will Matthews’ testimony was discred ited by Dr. McLendon and I).F. Davenport, who claim to have had hold of the arms in moving I)r. Worsham. Matthews claimed to have picked up brass knuckles while holding one arm in the removal of the body. NOT WORSHAM’S KNUCKLES. Si Hawkins testified positively that the brass knuckles said to have been found by l)r. Worsham’s body were not the knuckles he saw in Dr. Worsham’s office. The case of the state was still further strengthened by Judge Guerry of Daw son, who was holding court here at the time of the killing and ordered the Hinkles to jail, contradicting parts of Ur. Hinkle’s statement; and by Judge Mat thews of tho countv court who swore that the hat produced in court as Albert Hinkle’s was not the same hat exhibited before him in the application for bail. The evidence is practically closed. The arguments will be begun in the morning. The opinion is almost unani mous that the state has made out a strong case. STANDING BY SALISBURY.

They wanted them selves to draw him back to the castle. The police, however, prevailed upon them to forego their intention. The crowd was so thick that it wa3 impossible for tho horses to go faster than a slow walk, and as the carriage moved along the crowd surged forward with it, everybody join ing in singing patriotic songs.
