CORBETT AGAIN IN COURT.
Local Sports Turn Out to the Opening
ot His Trial.
Two of the Six Jurors Negroes From
the Country—Mitchell Not Apt to be
Arraigned if Corbett is Not Con
victed—Corbett's Acquittal Looked
For—Certain Phases of ths Trial
Savor of the Farcical.
Jacksonville. Kla.. Feb, 28. Champion
James J. Corbett is now on trial before
Judge Phillips in the criminal court of
this city for encaging in that prize fight
with Charles Mitchell on Jan. 25 last. If
Corbett is found guilty then Mitchell will
be tried, and, after the Englishman has
been disposed of, J. E. T. Bowden, late
manager of the Duval Athletic Club:
Harry Mason, president of the Athletic
Club: Joe Yendig and Louis Sitler will
be tried on a charge of aiding and abetting
the fight.
The court opened at 9:30 o'clock in the
morning, and long before that time there
was a large crowd of people gathered
about the courthouse Corbett arrived at
the courthouse about 9 o'clock, accom
panied by his manager. William A.
Brady. A majority of the people about
the courthouse were either sports, or
these who like to follow in the wake of
the sporting gentry When Corbett ar
rived and pushed through the crowd he
was slightly cheered.
At 9:30 o’clock Judge Phillips arrived
and court was called to order. Just after
the Judge had taken his seat on the bench,
Mitchell, accompanied by bis manager.
Billy Thompson, arrived. They took
aeats near Corbett and Brady.
John E. Hartridge, attorney for the
club, here rose and stated that he waived
the arraignment of Corbett, and entered
a plea of not guilty.
THE CHARGE AGAINST CORBETT.
Soliciter Christie then announced that
Corbett would be tried on the following
information:
In the criminal court of record of the county
of Duval and state of Florida, February
term, in the year of our Lord, 1894. the state
of Florida vs James J Corbett, Informa
tion for encaging in a fight.
In the name and by the authority of the
state of Florida. J. B. Christie, county solici
tor for the county of Duval, prosecuting for
the state of Florida in the said county, under
oath Information makes that one J J. Cor
bett, late of the county of Duval and state of
Florida, on the 25th day of January. In
the year of our Lord, 1894. !n the
county and state aforesaid, then and
there, by and In pursuance of a previous ap
polntment and arrangement, made to meet
and engage In s tight with another person
to wit: with Charles Mitchell, did then and
there meet and engage in a fight with the
said Charles Mitchell. and did then and there
beat, bruise, wound and ill treat and your in
formant, aforesaid upon his oath aforesaid,
farther information makes that the
said James J. Cornett, aforesaid, late of
the county and state aforesaid, on the
day and date aforesaid, in the manner and
form aforesaid In and upon the said Charles
Mitchell aforesaid.an assault did make: and
him. the said ( harles Mitchell. did then and
there beat, bruise wound and 111-treat, con
trary to the form of the statute in such case
made and provided and against the peace
ana dignity of the state of Florida.
THE JURY SECURED.
The work of impanelling a Jury was
then begun. This was the occasion of
much sparring between the attorneys,
one side or the other objecting to nearly
every candidate for the Jury box. Fi
nally the six men. that number only being
required by the Florida law in misde
meanor cases, were secured. Two of the
Jurors are negroes and four of them are
from the rural districts of Duval county.
At this point court adjourned for din
ner.
When court reconvened in the after
noon the examination of witnesses was
begun. Sheriff Broward. City Attorney
Barrs, Judge Baker and many others
■were introduced by the state. They all
testified as to events preceding the light
and as to what happened in the
arena on the day of the fight. The
state established the fact that the fight
was by “previous appointment,’" a contest
forbidden by Florida law. but did not
fare so well when an attempt was made
to establish malice. The witnesses all
testified that Corbett seemed good
natured during the three rounds, save at
one time, and that was when he fouled
Mitchell.
When court adjoubned in the afternoon
the state still had several witnesses to
examine. It is understood that Richard
K. Fox. of New York, will be the only
witness offered by the defense He will
he introduced as an expert to prove that
glove contests cannot be brutal.
The trial will be concluded to-morrow.
Attorney-General Lamar, while not
taking an active part in the trial, is here
watching the interests of the slate.
The impression left by to-day's develop
ments is that conviction is im|>ossible. In
fact, there were certain phases of the
trial to day that savored of the farcical.
If, however, a conviction is secured, the
cases will go to Judge Call on appeal, and
In him the sports feel that they have a
friend at court.
Corbett went over to St. Augustine to
night, where he will give an exhibition.
He will return in the morning.
TURPENTINE MEN MEET.
The Estimated Cost of a Third Year
Crop and What it Brings i.
Cordele, Ga., Feb. 28.—TheCordele Tur
pentine operators association held * its
regular monthly meeting at the Suwanee
house to-day. The Cordele association is
•trouger than ever, and its members are
more determined thau ev*r that the or
ganization shall take permanent form,
and that finally nearly every operator in
Georgia will De a member.
At the meeting to-day reso’utions were
passed strongly urging all operators to
abandon old boxes as much as possible
this year. The resolutions assert that it
costs over SIUO more to make a third
year crop than the operator
receives from his products. The
following is the estimated cost of
a third-year crop: Rent $25. raking .and
burning sls, chipping $147, dipping $25,
scraping $25. hauling SBS, stilling SBS.
wooasing SSO. spirit barrels, glue and bat
ting SSO. roiln barrels s3l. tools $5, inci
dentals $lO. interest on investment s2l 00-
total, $484.00.
The receipts are as follows: Eighty bar
rels rosin *BO. 25 • barrels spirits $800:
total. S3BO.
It costs about S2O to make a barrel of
spirits, which, at last season's prices, will
bring about sl2.
Turpentine men fay they are compelled
to quit working old boxes to stop the
heavy losses which they have been sus
taining.
A Sudden Death at Waycross.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 28.—Mrs. Gordon
Phillips, an aged lady, died very suddenly
at her home in this place about 2 o'clock
this morning. Mrs. Phillips appeared to
be in good health up to the time of her
death. She had received a summons to
the bedside of her sick daughter, and was
preparing to go. Mrs. Phillips was sitting
on the side of h r bed, and fell back on
the bed. She died in a few minutes. Apo
plexy caused her death. She was the
wife of Rev. Gordon Dh.llips. a veteran
of the Indian and Me .ican wars. She
was a consistent member of the Methodist
church.

HIT AGAINST THE MAYOR.
The Piedmont Exposition Directors
Irate Over the Veto.
Atlanta, Ga . Feb. 28.—The city is still
agitated o er the trouble Mayor Goodwin
is causing the projectsrs of the proposed
international exposition. A mass meeting
of citizens has been call and for to-morrow
night for the purpose of sustaining the
mayor in his set-to with the exposition
people.
To-day the exposition directors met and
denounced the action of the mayor in re
fusing to sanction the $165,900 appropria
tion to buy the grounds belonging to the
Piedmont Company. Several directors
lost their heads in attacking the
i major's official action, and said some
! very sally things about him. He
was accused by J. J. Spalding of
deliberately stopping the exposition pro
ject because he was narrow minded and
prejudiced.
Director J. W. English asserted that
the mayor had committed himself favor
ably to the Piedmont trade before it was
made, and he did not understand how he
could go back on it.
Capt. English and others who have
figured as leaders in the movement
thought the thing to do now is to aban
don the exposition and ex-Gov. Bullock
introduced a resolution to that effect.
Since the city will not buy their land
the exposition people are sick of the ex
position scheme.
Mayor Goodwin was sent for after the
hot-headed directors had about spent
the force of their angry disappoint
ment in words and he undertook to fur
ther explain his action, but the exposi
tion people received his speech as if it had
been an ice water bath. There was talk
then of asking the council to override the
mayor's veto, and buy the Piedmont
swamp anyhow.
In order to further widen the sore.
Director E. P. Howell proposed a confer
ence committee to see if the deal could
no* yet be patched up with the mayor,
and the trouble now rests in this shai>e.
Unless the committee brings the mayor to
terms, the exposition idea will probably
be dropped summarily.
INDIAN MOUNDS.
An Aoeount of the Principal One In
Southwest Georgia.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 28.—There are
many interesting Indian relics and curious
Indian mounds in South Georgia. Many
of the mounds, which formerly contained
relics, have been robbed of their treasure:
by curiosity hunters during the last few
years. “The chief's mound” or “mound
of the great spirit,” said to be situated
near the western boundary of the Okee
finokee swamp, is the largest in this sec
tion. It is said to have been erected by a
good old Seminole chief in ancient times.
In the mound, according to tradition,
there is a vault where the chief's daugh
ter was buried. Concerning the chief's
daughter, a legend says that she
was very beautiful and was loved
by the young chief of a
neighboring tribe They were to tie mar
ried on a certain day, but the bridegroom
did not come, and the chief’s daughter
grieved very much. Shortly afterward
intelligence was received of the death of
the j'oung chief. He was on his way to
the wedding and was waylaid and mur
dered by jealous rivals. The news was a
severe shock to the young girl, and she
grieved herself to death. The old chief
bnilt a mound and had his daughter’s
body placed in it. The legend says that
on the night of the interment of the chief's
daughter the movind was visited by the
Great Spirit. He was heard to lament
the death of the j'oung woman. When he
departed he dropped a tear at the foot of
the mound, and where it fell an oak tree
grew to a mammoth size and Is still alive.

way Muddle Arranged.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 28. A telegram
from Boston to-day announces that tho
deal between the bondholders and tho
shareholders of the Atlanta Consolidated
Street Railway Company, having for its
object the placing of the road upon a

and take income bonds for the
same, the bondholders agreeing to
a scaling of the interest on their bonds
from 15 per cent, to 3 per cent, per annum
for two years, and 5 per cent, thereafter
for the life of bonds. This is the plan

attempts were made to put the property
into a receivership, but the management

of the pending negotiations for a reorgani
zation.

distinguished ladies and gentlemen—in
cluding the high sheriff and ordinary and
their wives, of Dublin, Lawrence county,

on the islands below here. Judging from
the amount of game they carried, they
must have had a very enjoyable time.

ties here have been notified of a bloody
battle between a band of brigands and
the police of the town of Iztlahuac*.

DON’T WANT TO SECEDE.
The Leading Men of Georgetown Deny
Having Signed a Petition.
Denver, Col., Feb. 28 —The report tele
graphed from Georgetown Monday that
citizens of that place hud signed a petition
in favor of the silver states seceding and
joining Mexico proves to be a canard. The
leading men of Georgetown, which is in
the heart of the silver belt of Colorado,
say that they have not heard of any such
movement, and declare that nowhere in
tb© . ountry can people ue found more
loyal to the government and constitution
thau those of Georgetown.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1894.
FOXY BEN HUMAN.
He Will Play a Littie Game Learned
From the Straightouts.
Laying Pipe to Get Into the Senate in
the Same Manner that Wade Hamp
ton Got There Fourteen Years Ago.
Shell, the Father of the “Farmer’s
Movement,” Apparently Favors But
lore Re-election.
Washington, Feb. 28.—The South Car
olina delegation have been aroused to
star chamber caucuses by a reiort here
that Gov. Tillman intends making a simi
lar coup to that which sent Wade Hamp
ton to the Senate and made W. D. Simp
son governor.
Tillman not only wants to be senator,
but, it is said, is willing to hazard his
chance for that in order to keep his hold
on the state affairs by making John Gary
Evans governor. His move is this way,
so stated here: He intends to run at the
head ol the state ticket again, and be re
elected governor, with Evans as lieuten
ant governor on the same ticket. Then,
holding the whip, he will have himself
elected to succeed Butler in the
Senate, when the governorship will fall
to his protege, John Gary Evans.
On this move Tillman's friends are
anxious and his opponents hopeful. Even
his strongest supporters say thaj Tillman
will have a hard time being elected gov
ernor if he attempts to carry Evans In
with him. for his play will be too plapnble
to fit accepted.
TRYING TO ROTATE SHELL.
There are strenuous efforts being made
to bring Congressman Shell, who repre
sents the Columbia district, into the
gubernatorial fight, but he declines to be
come a candidate. When asked to-day by
the Morning News correspondent if he
could be induce 1 to make the race, he
said he could not.
“I have all along declined to enter this
race and nothing can induce me to change
my mind.” said he. “I am going to get
out of politics, and even if I wanted to
continue in it, I would not enter the
wrangle which will take place in South
Carolina this fall.”
iM’LADRIN as b’rer rabbit.
Representative McLiurin is looked
upon as available gubernatorial tim
ber, and though he is lying
pretty low now, he may eotne into
the open before long. If he does there
will be even greater complications than
those which now present themselves.
He and Senator Irby have fallen out, and
should he make the race, tho entire state
machine will be thrown against
him. But then again he is
the leader of one wing of the reform fac
tion, and would gather about him not only
the conservative element in the state,
but also that portion of the Tillman wing
which is waging war on Irby and fighting
his machine.
There is the deepest Interest manifested
among the South Carolina contingent
here, and this latest move contemplated
by Gov. Tillman of running himself again
for governor for the purpose of putting up
Evans, has thrown them into a fever of
expectancy and exci emznt.
SHELL FAVORS BUTLER MEN.
The next two important appointments
to be made in South Carolina are the
postmasters at Columbia and Greenville.
Thej' are both in Capt. Shell’s district.
He has recommended Capt. William Wal
lace for the. office at Columbia, and Wil
liam oMeetze for Greenville. Wallace is a
prominent lawyer in Columbia, and has a
strong business backing, and is for Butler
for the Senate.
Meetze's appointment has been hung up
for a time because of his extreme youth.
He is a little overliis majority, and if ap
pointed, will be the youngest presidential
postmaster in the south.
MEDALS FOR BRAVE MEN.
Rescuers of the Crew of the Riga Pre
sented With Government Tokens.
Beaufort, S. C., Feb. 27.—There was a
presentation of life-savings medals from
the United States government, through
Collector Smalls, here to-day, to Capt.
G. W. S. Jonkins, master of the Juno, and
his bra.e associates, who on April 11,
last, rescued the crew of the Norwegian
bark Ri a, which, was wrecked and went
to pieces on nor.h breakers at Bay Point.
The crew, uuder the most extra
ordinary .ini perilous circum- |
stances were saved from a watery I
grave by apt. Jenkins, Engineer Sutton |
Sykes, Ciok Frederick Lightburn, Deck
Hands William Tompkins and lienr.v I’or- |
ter, and Fireman Lawrence Lawton. The
tug had ou board the following volunteers j
also, viz: W. B. Scherer, Captaitis Aga- !
bito Zarabalgaraque James Magratte, and ’
Robert Millar. In face of a furious pre- ;
vailing northeast gale the brave fellows
risked their lives and saved eight of the 1
erew of the ill-fated vessel. Tie captain, |
however, was drowned before relief ar- I
rived.
Capt. Jenkins received a splendid gold
medal, and the others a silver medal with
beautiful accompanying letters of trans
mittal from the department. The affair
was most gratifying to the numerous
friends of t brave men who participated.
DONJAN GIVEN 18 MONTHS.
The Court Refused to Summon Public
Men as Witnesses.
Baltimore. Md.. Feb. 28.—Joseph Don
jan was tried in the United States district
court to-day on the charge of violating
the postal laws by sending a threatening
card to Vice President Steven
son. The jury returned a ver
dict of guilty, and Judge Morris
'sentenced Donjan to the penitentiary’ for
eighteen months. When brought into
court, Donjan told Judge Morris that he
needed no counsel and that he wanted
Vice President Stevenson, Senator Sher
man and several others, summoned as
witnesses. This request was refused.
The postal card addressed to Vice Presi
dent Stevenson was mailed in Bal
timore on Dec. 30, last, and reads—
“Doomsday—lf you do not send me my ex
penses. s2.'>. then you will be one of the
first to be kicked out. but if you do. then
I will see you first before I do anything
else. Send quick.” ..
The man is evidently not strong-minded,
but showed from his actions and his de
sire to run the country that he was of
that class of cranks which are liable to
become dangerous.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that It requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed deslers
are criminally careless of tho most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty years’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics In New
York and learned the latest and best methods
Of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction. 30 that I
can tit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and Improve youreyestght Instead
of rapidly ruining It. as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No chsrge for examination.
