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. OPlTOMERShWlptleCa New Yorkers Are Not Much Ex cited Over Bonds. * gkL PREFi'RRED SHORT 3 PER CENTS. j Abr 8 D-itff 14 Lxprj t Ho play—play ■\v*iOven-oi 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.

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.

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. Special Sale of Shoes, Hats, Underwear, Etc., is still going on. Don’t miss it. Best Goods for the Least Money.” FRANK C. OWENS The Leading Ciothie, Owen’s Block, Waycross,Ga. 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. IN THE SANCTUMS. Rev. E. B.

Calhoun’s new paper, the sheet with the unspeakable name, has gone off in the howling business with the Leasc-Feffer eontigent. —Rome Tri bune. The prize fight that can only lake place in resistance to State authority ought not to take place at all. The Washington news remarks: “A Russian woman soaked her head in petroleum and lighted a cigarette. The cigarette alone would have done the work in time, but the combination got there much quicker.” A Rabbit Hunt. Another Rabbit round up to place at Lamar the first of this week. Nearly 4,200 rabbits were killed, the highest record for one man being 120. Nearly 3,000 were killed in one day. After being dressed 3,500 were shipped to Den ver. The ice crop in the East is said to he good aud cold. Kerosine oil is sold in Denver Col orado at 5 els per gallon. It is said that grip is killing Indi ans by the score in Nebraska.

The Corbett-Mitehell fight so far seems to have been all fuss but no gore. The prize fight will be over to-day then we can turn our attention to re vising the tariff. Lynch law is decidedly on the in crease in the north. What is to be done about it? The sixth annual session of the Georgia Chautauqua, at Albany, will surpass all previous efforts. The Populists and Republicans have united in calling a mass meet ing at Gadsden Ala. The body of a dead negro child, apparently about eighteen months old, was fouud in the river at Albany yesterday. The legislature to be elected next October will have to elect a United States Senator, whose term will be- giu on the 4th of March 1895. A Western publisher on being asked by a prosperous advertiser, where his paper circulated, replied; My paper goes to North and South America, Canada and the British Isles, and it is all I can do to keep it from going to h-11.” A Mississippi paper declares that whiskey is not a luxury, but a neces sity, and that to tax it is to take bread and meat out of the mouth's of the poor man's family. The Missis sippi paper probably has a Kentucky editor. It is to be hoped there mil never be another Minister Stevens to in volve this country in another such unpleasant foreign controversy. The wisdom of the policy of strict neu trality which has characterized this government from its foundation haV been illustrated with sufficient force. Heiow, N. I., Hm. 88.—Carl R. E.
