The battle will be in Nashua County, directly north of Duval County, between the town of Fernandlna and Jacksonville. Pernandina ia about twenty miles from Jacksonville on the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad. The site of the battto ground will be within six miles, of Fernandina. Those who will attend' will not be given the word until an hour before time for tbe train to start. The railroad company, which is a party to the contract, put up J50,000 as a guarantee that' no train not designated by the club shall pass over the road before five houra after the last special leaves Jacksonville for the newly chosen battle ground, and thus prevent interference. In order to overcome the trouble among those who secured box seats in advance, the charge to see the fight will not be less than the price of box seats. The Duval Club will lose money. 1 An A. r. A.

The Sheriff of Outagamie County was sent for by Mayor Renter, who also telegraphed for melitia, which Governor Peck denied unless asked for by the Sheriff. The Sheriff nartly dispersed the mob, and, with the help of local officers, escorted Sims to his boarding place. The mob followed, throwing stones. Sims was knocked senseless by a stone, but the officers fought the mob off and got him safely to his lodging. The mob then dispersed. Sims was escorted to a train next morning by three men armed with Winchester rifles and left for Ashland. Didn't Carry Lansing (Mich.) special: A sensation was developed here recently by the information given ont by Governor Rich thatfthe constitutional amendment by which.the salariesjof most of the State officers were raised last spring, instead of being carried by a small majority, had, in fact, been "defeated by a heavy vote, and that several thousand dollars had been illegally drawn for salaries from the treasury by the present State officers. The corrected canvass will show that the salaries amendment was defeated by over 11,090 majority, while the former return showed that it had received a majority of 1,827. Was a Sraat fake.

ASK NOT LEGAL WIVES.

If any White Men Are Arrested for Buying Women In Alaska. Intense excitement has been created throoithODt Alsska by tbe action of United States Marshal Orvllle T. Porter, who has Instructed his deuutles to arrest every white man known to have formed illegal marriage relation with native womeh. Many arrests have taken place, and the craa&de against the violators of the law boa cjreated a sensation. The evil which Marshal Porter Is endeavoring to extirpate Is one of lOnx standing. It Is a notorious fact that the number of white mea lawfully married to women of their own. raco In Alaska Is comparatively small, and they are confined principally to Government officials and naval men sta tioned In the Territory. The almost universal custom Is tor the male population to purchase native wives, and such unions are declared to be unlawful. Nearly every grand jury which convenes la Alaska is instructed from the bench tP ,n qalro Into this evil and Indict all violators of the law. This charge is, however, generally a dead letter, as tbe average Alaska grand Juryman Is naturally averse to bringing in a true bill against hlmsolt Marshal Porter has, finally, become tired of waiting for the grand juries to take action, and has Instituted a crusade on his own account. The steamor Topeka, which arrived in San Francisco from the north, brings information of tbe arrest 'of nearly every white man on board the United States steamer Plnta. and they, with scores of others arrested by Porter's depnttes, are now In jail at Sitka. Hun dreds of other arreiti are expected to follow, and It all who are known to be living In violation of tbo law are brought to account, the Jails will not be large enough to accommodate tbo prisoners, THREATENED TO BREAK OCT. Chicago Saving Trouble with Her Smallpox Quarantine. Clamoring for food which ibe proprietors of the houso refused to furnish, and shut In with smallpox patients, 100 men threatened to mako serious trouble In the Iron (ides Hotel, 134 West Madison street Chleago. Mayor Hopkins ordered food to be (applied Ihem. and contentment and 'quiet came with the assurance of full stomachs. The Ironside Hotel was fottnd to be Infested with smallpox and Its live score of inmates were quarantined on the spot. tJcmo twenty men were taken from the boose to the hospital during tbe week, As long as tbe proprietor! tea the men there was hot much grumbling, for the doctors In charge assured tbe lodgers tbey could be protected against tbo disease. But Harvey & McGulre, tbe proprietors, refused to give them food. For a time it looked as though a riot would result. Dr. Harvey, who Is In charge ot the physician and fumlgatorft from the Heath Department, telephoned Commissioner Reynolds tbe men must have food or they would break out, carrying the contagion broadcast, Commissioner Beynolds at once called on Mayor Hopkins, who gave orders the men should be fed as long as tbe house is tp quarantine. Tbe place Is a veritable pest-bouse. SIS MEN DBOWNSOt Bailors of a British Ship Find a Watery Grave la Baltimore Harbor, Friday morning's strong gale at Baltimore cost six lives, and gave tbe crew of the police boat a cbance to make one ot the bravest rescues In the annals of Baltimore harbor. While the white caps were running so high that a steamer could bardly ride them a signal of distress was beard, and the search light revealed three men struggling la tbe forbidding waters. They were all who war), left bf a party of sailors who, accompanied by a ferryman, left the foot of Brand way to cross over to Locust Point Their boat was swamped before they had gone 500 yards, and Ave of the sailors, and it is supposed the ferryman also, sank before the police boat could reach them. Tbe three rescued men were taken to the city hospHaL The drowned men, except tho ferryman, were from England, They were of the crew of the Meraca and bad been on shore leave. The rescued say the boat was a small one and that the nine men loaded her down until the gnnwalea were almost even with the watea ONE DAY'S BLAUOtlTEEb Thirty-two Meet Death by Various I1asters on the Batti Sine men were killed and More than thirty men and women Injured In a rearend collision In a dense fog Monday on the east-bound track of the Morris and Essex division of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, 603 fest on tho other side of the Hackensack Biver drawbridge.

R a Dun It Ca's Weekly Bevlew ot Trade says: Easiness has distinctly improved since the new year came, and the gain Is no longer visible only in speculative markets. It is the nnly kind of improvement that has In it possibilities of lasting, because It Is band upon actual increase In the production of Industrie As all rejilce to see it, there is perhups a little disposition to reckon the gain greater than It Is as yet, but several large establishments hare started part force hoping to Increase, and more smaller works have started thanbave topped. Orders from donlers whose stocks approach exhaustion form a prominent cause; another is the widely prevalent imoresslon tbat action at Washington will be more satisfactory than many have expected; and a belief that in any case tbe situation will not be changed until goods now lit tbe works can bs marketed baa welgbt in some trades. Whatever the causes even a moderate gain Is most cheering. Clubbed by Bobbers. Four unknown negroes clubbed Into unconsciousness Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bonne and a man in their employ halt a mile south ot Florissant. St Louis County, Mo. The negroes plundered the farmhouse, carrying off money and valuables worth about taoo. The negroes entered the bouse at 7 o'clock on Wednesday evening and after beating Mr. and Mn Bonne and tbelr hired man Into Insensibility ransacked the bouse from top to bottom. The assault was not made known until midnight, when a ueliubor passing tbe bouse heard tbe groans of tbe Wjunded people and at once gave the alarm. Tired of Being Chased. It appears that two members of tbe Dalton gang have become tired of being chased by officers and would like to settle matters. The officers In charge of the United States Marihal's office In Guthrie, O. T., have received a letter signed by "Dynamite Dick" and Bill Doolan, two ot the most desperate members of tbe gang, stating tbat they will come In. give themselves up and plead guilty of robbery If they are promised ligbt sentences. Tbe only answer g'.ven will be renewed efforts to capture the whole gang. Mishap to Miller. R. C. Miller, financial officer of a Xenia. Ohio, K. of H. k4lge. disappeared with 1100 of the funds.

Horse fau'clors and farmers in all parts or Connecticut are alarmed on account ol tbe ravages of tho glanders, which appeared a few weeks ago and has since penetrated into every comity in the State.

Then the mulndy appeared in Jewott City, In the eastern end of lite State, and Agent Thrall journeyed Into that town and shot n n infected beast. Fim-e then tho glanders has spread alarmingly, and Mr. Thrall, In a recent Interview, confessed that he Is barely able to keep pace with 11, that he is obliged to travel constantly ou a mission to slaughter diseased horses and that be has no time to attend to bis other official duties, '.Every quarter of tho State," said he, "is Infested with the disease, which is the most terrible one In tbo veteriuary practice since thoro Is abso lutely no cure for It; there never wns a time In the history of Connecticut when It was so prevalent before." JTO BOOM FOR I NION VETERANS, Sfew Orleans Confederates Refuse to Invito Them to a Banquet, New Orleans dispatch: Ex-Consressman H.

It provides for the abolition of the Abrabamlc rilion tbo ground that the operation Is cruol and unnecessary and that It is a relic of barbarism not compatible with tbe civilization of to-day.
