Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 25.—1894.
Corbett arrived at the ring at 2.05,
and the fight commenced at 2:15.
1st Round.—Corbett opened the fight
by hitting Mitchell in%he eye. Mitch
ell landed a light blow in Corbett’s ribs.
Corbett ended the first round by knock
ing Mitchell down.
2nd Round.—Corbett opened the sec
ond round by hitting Mitchell all over
the face. Mitchell seemed to have lost
all control of film sell. Corbett again
knocks Mitchell down.
3rd Round.—The third round was like
the second, Corbett had it all his way.
The fight was ended by Mitchell being
knocked down and out,
A large crowd was present aud tickets
were selling for $35 at 12 o’clock.
The fight is a great disappointment,
more to Corbett’s friends who would like
to have seen more of his skill. Mitchell
made a very poor fight for a man who has
done so much blowing. There was no at
tempt to stop the fight to-day.
If prize fighters are no worse than this
no one need be afraid of them. Corbett
is being wildly cheered by the crowds
notwithstanding that every one admits
he had an easy task.
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
A Beautiful Double Wedding.
A most charming double marriage
took place at the Baptist church yester
day afternoon at 5 o’clock. Notice of
its approach having been already given.
The contracting parties were Mr. Edgar
I). Carswell and Miss Rosa A. McGee
and Mr. J. Walter I .von and Miss Minnie
L. Knight. The church was handsomely
decorated with evergreens and in front
of the altar there had been erected an
arch or canopy of flowers and evergreens
shut in by embroidered lace _cuxtains.
Messrs. Joe Brewer an l I
acted a- urshers and l«ng before the
hour announced for the ceremony, the
spacious building, was crowded to over
flowing with guests and friends of the
families. Just at 5 o’clock the two
beautiful brides attired as only brides
can be adorned, entered the church,
each upon the arni of her father, and
proceeded by Misses Pauline McGee and
Ruby; Knight as flower girls. Proceed
ing up the two separate aisles to the
music of the wedding march by Miss
Sue Wideman, the brides were met by
the grooms in front of the canopy and
side by side under the arch the cere
mony which made them husbands and
wives was performed by the pastor, Rev.
W. H. Scruggs, in language chaste and
appropriate. The party then left the
building as they came except that they
passed down opposite aisles from the
ones by which they had entered.
The marriage was one of the pjettiest
we ever witnessed. The program was
carried out to the letter without a single
mishap. The Herald tenders congratu
lations, and wishes the >oung folks a
long life and much happiness.
The wedding party left last night on
a bridal tour of some days.

The Troops go to the Front.
Col. W. W. Gordon reached Waycross
last night in charge of troops consisting
of detachments from Savannah, Liberty
county, Jesup and Johnson station. The
troops were met at tthe depot by the
Rifles and escorted to their armory. Col.
Gordon then had a conference with Gov
ernor Northen at the Southern hotel, the
result of which was that the soldiers ac
companied by the Waycross Rifles, left
the city at 3 o’clock this morning for
Folkston. Governor Northen remains
in the city and is in telegraphic com
munication with the governor of Florida
It i * quite certain that the fight will
not come off on Georgia soil.
New Yonx, Jan. 2J.—A great differ- ]
ence of opinion exists among the bank-
era and financial men of this city re-
Reed . garding iiio proposed bond issues. Near-
the ! aU of Uu»u> prefer u short time 3 per
t j iC | Cent bund. While uii concede that the
over . j act of the secretary will have a good
effect on business, they sho.v little en-
thusiusm over it. saying that the largo
premium will prevent the bonds bsing
popular.
Financiers generally feel that the un
certainty has been relieved by the an-
uoucement of the secretary, and-this
feeling was reflected to some extent . in
the stock market which stiffened up
trow the opening, until toward* the
dost ffbrc s zb/auction set ia
Many persons question whether the
bonds will bo the moans of putting much
more actual gold into the treasury, ar
guing that many buyers will get their
gold to pay for tlio bonds from the sub-
treasury, tnruing in there in exchange
foT it legal tender r.otes; but oven if this
is done, it will enable the secretary of
the treasury to hold on to his gold, as he
will have the notes thus turned in to dis
burse in place of the coin.
# At the foreign banking houses the be
lief was expressed that the bonds will
be well received abroad, but that the
bulk of the issue will be taken here, as
European investors do not care to pay
so high a premium for bonds.
The banks are making haste slowly in
the matter of subscribing for the bonds.
The Fourth National bank will, it is
said, subscribe for $2,000,000, the Galla
tin for $500,000, and it was reported
that the New York Life Insurance com
pany had subscribed for $5,000,000 of
the bonds. In one of the largest national
hanks down town the president said he
thought the issue would be largely over
subscribed by the hanks and trust and
life insurance companies of this city
alone. Other bank presidents are in
clined to wait a few days and see how
fast subscriptions are made.

Prize Fight Notes.
The Duval Club put their last dollar
on the injunction card and it seems they
are about to win.
And now we would like to know if
Florida is to be opened up to the slug
gers and blacklegs of the world, as n
prize fighting ring?
Yesterday was an eventful day in
Jacksonville, and to-day will be no less
The betting is in favor of Corbett,
though there are many who think that
Mitchell will win the fight
Eight o’clock, a. m. No fight yet.
The Duval County Club says the fight
is to be nothing but a kid glove affair.
The amount of interest centered in
the slugging match is simply wonderful.
It is said that Gov. Mitchell is boiling
over with indignation this morning.
- A large majority-of the best citizens
of Florida are sustaining Mitchell in his
endeavor to save Florida from disgrace
It must be a fight or a back down for
sonje body. -
The Atlanta Jornat designates Way-
cross as Georgia’aseat of War. Well it
baa looked a little that way recently.

A LAWYER’S WILL.
It May Not Stand the T« st of n Lrcal In-
- ' ruXtlgatton. - -
New Orleans, Jan. 23.—T. J. Soui-
mes, ex president of the American Bar
association and the leading lawye
Louisiana, has expressed the opinion
that the will of the late Judge E. C. Bil
lings. of the United States district court
of this district, will not stand the test of
Louisiana law.
The invalidity of the clauses is based
entirely upo i the hypothesis that New
Orleans and not New Haven, Connecti
cut. was Judge Billings’ domicile. One
of the clauses that will be invalidated in
case the will be contested /is that one
giving $80,009 to Yale college. Another
clause that can he contested is that be
queathing $155,000 lo relatives, naming
how it should be invested. This clause
is in violation of the law of Louisiana,
for it ties up property indefinitely, and
this is expressly forbidden by the laws
of Louisiana.

What a Mistake.
A great many railroads are going in
to the hands of receivers. So little does
the public know about the management
of the great railway system that there is
a strong general suspicion that having
receivers appointed is only another
scheme worked out by stock manipula
tors to make money for' themselves.
Every'act of a corporation is construed
by the public to be ji move {p make the
rich richer and the poor poorer. What
a mistake.
The Sheriff Enjoined.
The sheriff of Duval county was en
joined by Judge Call yesterday against
interferring with the prize fight to-day
and the Duval club has announced that
it will take place at 1:60 p. m. at the
Arena prepared some time since in the
old fair grounds. As we write the indi
cations are that the fight will come off.
Natives Have Rebelled.
Chicago, Jan. 22.—A morning paper
has the following from Apia Samoa,
Jan. 3, via San Francisco: The natives
in the district of Uana have rebelled and
proclaimed Tamasses© king. This Ta-
massesa is a son of a former German
puppet king and has a large following.
Ike people of Savali have declared alle
giance to King Malistoa and are gather
ing to his support. The chief justice,
president and consuls will meet to con
sider the sitnation. The consuls have
sent a request by Monewai for warships
■o grave is the situation.
Bis Shot Doom 1b FnMjlvnta.
Pottsville, Penn., Jan. 22.—An or
der ha* been issued by tbe Reading Coal
and Iron company suspending 11 of its
largest collieries for an indefinite period.
Collieries of other companies are also to
be suspended. Owing to the suspension
of the collieries the transportation force
on the Reading railroad will be greatly
reduced |and the car shops at Palo Alto
are to ba shut down indefinitely, thus
throwing 150 men out of work.
The Timber Should Be the Best.
Speaking of the senatorial contest,
the Atlanta Journal has this to say:
We have nothing whatever to say as
to the choice between the gentlemen who
avowed or probable candidates for
this high honor, but we will say that
Georgia ought to send to the Senate the
best equipped man she can find. A
great senator is a noble possession for
any State. He is a figure whom the
whole country admires and to whom his
own state looks with special pride.
Have we not in Georgia the timber
for a great senator ? If we have it is our
duty to get it and put it where it be
longs. »
Fainted For Want of Food.
Atlanta, Jan. 24.—Twenty-five men
were put to work on the street paving
here yesterday, and from exhaustion on
account of long idleness and consequent
starvation, ten of them fainted, and ten
others fell out from their work by noon.
They were sent home and £»•-d provided
for them.

Gerber’s band is now ready for busi

ald’s proposition is to erect a pretty
stand in the park where the band can
discourse sweet music after work hours
are over. The cost would be small in
deed and the entertainment highly ap
preciated by our citizens, and the visit
