THE DREAM CITY.

It Is Reproduced In All Its Glowing Ideal Realities In the Sacred Preeliicts of the Y. M. C. A. Armory.

The Midway Plaisance which iu being reproduced this week in the V. M. C. A. armory for the benefit of the charity organization is a grand success. It was opened to an expectant publicTuesday night and in spite of the inclement weather the large auditorium and halls were packed by people who swarmed out to see the sights and drop a few small coins in the slot for the sake of melting charity. All were surprised at the magnitude and success of the undertaking. The gloomy old auditorium was not recognizable under the display of fancy booths, bright banners, soft lights, fair women, and bigger Indians from the wilds of the central school building. A number of the merchants had displays and their booths were models of daintiness and art. Besides the business displays were attractive exhibits

The Midway was pronounced by all as a signal success and general superintendent Stanley Simpson is standing up to his neck in laurel leaves.

Memorial.

Mrs. Lillie Brown, wife of Dr. L. F. Brown, peacefully fell asleep in death on Sunday evening, Jan. 21,1894, in' the 24th year of her age, from the dread disease consumption. Although not well for some months her friends did not think her case serious until the last few days. Mrs. Brown was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Remley, of Crawfordsville, and was married to Dr. L. F. Brown on June 26, 1889, and has since made her home in the midst of warm hearted friends at Alamo. Only last August the mother was taken from this home by the relentless hand of

tdeath

and now

the younger wife and daughter is snatched from this broken circle, leaving those behind doubly bereft. Lillie had been a faithful member of the Christian church since childhood and was ever prompt in Christian work, teaching her Sabbath school class when scarcely able to go to the church. The funeral services were conducted at the family residence in Alamo by her regular minister. Rev. \Y. J. Howe, of Crawfordsville, on Monday morning, with interment at Oak Hill cemetery. The large attendance of friends and relatives at these services attest the high esteem in which she was held by the community. The worthy Doctor and his father have the warmest sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement. M. C. M.

A l'uir of Jacks.

The libal suit of Jack Tyres against Jack Vyse. of Linden, has been compromised. Tyres charged that Vyse maliciously libeled him by a card published over Vyse's name in THK CHAWroun.svii.LK JoCKN'AI, and sued for $10,000 damages. Vyse declared at first that he would have Tyres in the pen for stealing a dollar before the libel suit would come up. He appears to have altered his opinion in this regard, however.and Wednesday dropped S"i0 into the palm of Jack as a sort of balm to his wounded feelings. The criminal suit against Jack Tyres for wilfully purloining a big daddy dollar is still pending in the circuit court and great is the pend thereof.

Speci'il to The Journal. JACKSONVII.I.K, Fla., Jan 25 —12:00 111. All doubt as to the fight has been removed and there will positively be no legal interference. The transportation facilities from the city to the arena are made and thousands of people in vehicles of all kinds and on foot are wending their way along the muddy roads to the ring side. The disputed check to the Duval Club has finally been cashed and referee Kelly has now in his hands, $20,000 in greenbacks, and is prepared to pay it to the winner upon the conclusion of the fight in accordance with the terms of the agreement 1:00 p. ni.—Over one thousand men are now in the arena and countless numbers on the outside. Neither of the principals have yet appeared but the fight will surely be a go. '1 he streets of Jacksonville are entirely deserted and everybody is on their way to the scene of the fray. The crowd is very orderly and quiet and 2.000 people are holding tickets. The weather is rainy and dismal. Owing to a misunderstanding between the club and fighters the fight has been postponed until 2:30 p. m. There is plenty of money at 2 to 1 on Corbett. 2:00 p. m.—Corbett and Mitchell are now in the ring and the fight is to begin in earnest. Governor Mitchell will not interfere and everybody is decidedly happy. ..*• 2:30 p. m.—They are at it.

First Round—The men face each other smiling. They spar cautiously for an opening and are still sparring when the gong sounds.

Second Round—There is a wild exchange and a clinch: Corbett upper cuts Mitchell as they come together and lands hard on his ribs. As Mitchell came in Jim caught him a clip on the head, staggering him.

hard with his right on Mitchell's

ribs. Mitchell succeeds in reaching Corbett's ribs and got in twice on his neck. Corbett knocks Mitchell down twice in succession and clearly has the fight in his hands. The thousands are cheering wildlyi

Third round—Corbett quickly knocks Mitchell down and as he essays to rise knocks him down again. As he rises again Corbett steps forward and deals him a powerful blow which fells him like an ax. He fails to come up when time is called and the 820,000 in cash is turned over to Corbett while the thousands of hoodlums, dead beats, sports and good citizens roar in happy unison. All Jacksonville is wild and a howling celebration is promised for to-night. 3:00 p. in.- -It's all over and Corbett won in a walk in the third round Mitchell was completely powerless in front of the champion. lie was knocked down three times in the second round and laid on the floor every I round to avoid the punishment.

The knock out blow in the third round rendered Mitchell senseless and Referee Kelly declared Corbett champion of the world amid great enthusiasm. As soon as the fight was over Denver Smith came to the front and challenged Corbett to a fight for $10,000.

Trouble In Sujjar Creek.

James, Ed and Charles McGuire have been arraigned before Judge Chumasero for assaulting and battering the body of a certain Ed Cook. There has been trouble between the clans of Cook and McGuire for many months and the sight of a Cook has caused the bosom of a McGuire to swell with rage like the swelling of a horse under the seductive influence of wind colic. The other day Ed Cook attempted to cross old Charley McGuire's land and old Charley laid violent hands upon him. There was a mix and Charley came out looking worse than the man who went through the clover huller to see what made the noise. Just as the ball was over Charley's sons, Jim and Ed, came prancing up and the whole McGuire faction pitched into Cook like harvest hands into a boiled dinner. Cook made a gallant running fight and now carries his load of grief and bruises to the Chumasero tribunal for legal adjustment.

DETAILS 01 THE FRAY.

llow the Frankfort Cireron Pulled tk« Candle l'lumen From ick Smith '$ and «ale Drake.

The Frankfort. Crescent thus detail* the bloody argumentative frav betwee* representatives of the Crawfordsville and Frankfort colored literary soci-, eties:

G. A. Drake was the first speaker to defend the negative side of the question, "Is Capital Punishment Justifiable?" Mr. Drake advanced to the place reserved for the speakers Ln front of the judges, wearing a self satisfied smile and look of supreme confidence, found only on the features of those who inhabit Crawfordsville. He also wore a yellow ribbon, that fluttered from the lapel of his coat, like thj» heart of a Crawfordsville maiden being made happy by a utory of lovt. Mr. Drake spoke about two minute* and sat down, thus giving John D. Kersey, who followed him in the interest of the local society, no chance to tear his argument to pieces.

When John 1). arose there was a look of disgust on his face but it soon gave way to one of pity for Mr. Drake, who was afraid to open the debate bj making a statement of the side he represented. John lost no time in going for him in dead earnest. He madv several good shots, and when he finished he had the man half way up ta scaffold.

WicklylVe Smith, of Crawfordsville, followed John. Air. Smith had hip part of the debate on paper and read it oft' in good style. lie was roundly applauded after he had finished, for hit paper was an able one, well written and full of thought, lie put the prisoner on the ground again by his able effort.

Dr. Perry, of our city, next took the floor. He surprised all by the logic of his speech. When he had finished the villain aforesaid was standing on the trap door of the gallows. His was by far the best speech of the evening.

G. L. Drake closed the argument. He made a decided hit by imitating J. 1). Kersey and with so much force and earnestness that the whole house was in an uproar, lie fought hard for the honors of the debate, and made a speech that many lawyers would fail to equal.

The judges were not long in returning a. verdict, and decided in favor of the Silver Leaf Society of our city, and the villain was accordingly hung.

The scalps of the champions from Crawfordsville now dangle from the belts of the Frankfort debaters, and the triumphal tour of Messrs. Drain* and Smith ended in a, crushing defeat.
