GREENFIELD 1KDIANA FRIDAY EVENING DECEMBER 6, 1895.

BIG FIGHT ARRANGED

Jill CORBETT IS NOT IN IT.

Id February the Country Will Know Who Is the World's Champion—The Texas Sporting: Man at Last Arranges a Match.

First Deposits Made Details of the Arrangements. NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Peter Maher,

champion heavyweight of the world, and Robert Fitzsimmons, champion middleweight of the world, were matched yesterday to fight to a finish near El Paso, Tex., between Feb. 11 and Feb. 15.

The details were arranged at a meeting between Dan Stuart of Texas, a representative of Fitzsimmons, and John J. Quinn, manager of Maher, held at the St. James hotel.

Stuart was empowered to make the match for Fitzsimmons, and as Quinu was anxious for the contest the arrange-

ments were completed without diffi-

cuity

The purse to be fought for will be $20,000. When Dan Stuart arrived here a few days ago to arrange a match between Corbett and Fitzsimmons he stated that he had a battle ground selected within five miles of El Paso. It is^said to be on Mexican soil.

The fight will be for a purse and the heavy weight championship. The amount of the purse will probably be $10,000, but it is understood that Quinu wishes to have it $15,000. When the articles are signed the principals will I put up $3,000 each as a guarantee of good faith. It is proposed to pull the fight oft' in Mes^hp, just across the Rio

Grande from ..I' Paso, Tex. It is planned to erect i.here a tent capable of affording seats for 3,000 persons.

It was agreed by Quinn and Stuart that the stakeholder must be a man who does not live in the state. The articles of agreement will be practically the same as those agreed to by Corbett and Fitzsimmons.

Stuart is empowered with full authority to make ihe match with Maher, but Fitzsimmons has stipulated that he must first make a formal request for Corbett to meet the Australian in Mexico.

Fitzsimmous and Maher have met before in the prize ring. They fought at New Orleans on March 2, 1892, and Maher was vanquished in 12 rounds. Maher was knocked out by Joe Goddard on Dec. 8, 1892, in three rounds, fought in the Coney Island Athletic club's arena.

The articles of agreement which were drawn up yesterday afternoon are as follows:

Articles of agreement to govern a glove contest to a finish between Robert j. Fitzsimmons of Newark, N. J., and Peter Maher of Pittsburg.

First—It is agreed by the persons above named that between noon and 6 o'clock on the 14th day of February, 1896, they will contest a fair, stand-up battle with five ounce gloves, mider Marquis of Queen sbery rules to decide the heavyweight championship of the world a purse of $10,000 to be given by Dan A.

"GENERAL" COXEY'S DAUGHTER.

He Is Heartbroken Over Her Marriage With Carl Browne. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Several dozen

worthless, hungry vagrants cast upon the charity of the people of Washington were not the only pathetic feature, it seems, of the late army of the "commonweal" which marched on Washington under the leadership of General Coxey. The general himself was in Washington a few days ago and related a touching story of his own sad experience growing out of his association with the notorious Carl Browne. Coxey caiiu on to Washington to secure the services of a friend to urge his daughter Mamie, erstwhile the "Goddess of Peace," to leave her worthless husband, Carl Browne, and return to her home.

Coxey is heartbroken over the step taken by his daughter, and he says that it has come to his knowledge recently that she is sadly in need of the necessaries of life. He has not seen her nor Browne since their dramatic marriage at Massillon, and he declared that if he had been at home when the marriage took place he would have killed Browne.

Coxey said his neighbors at Massillon might contend that lie had some erratic ideas on the subject of political economy, but they would all unite in saying that he had always provided well for his family, and it distressed him to know that his daughter had fallen a victim to Browne. Jesse Coxey, the soil, is now in Cuba fighting in the cause of the insurgents.

SMALLPOX

Thought to Have Keen Brought Over on the Kaiser AVillielm II. NEW YORK, Dec. G.—A dispatch re

ceived in this city from Braddock, Pa., says that three cases of smallpox have been found there. The Braddock authorities were suspicious of three immigrants in party of seven who arrived there last Sunday, having been landed in this city by the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II on Saturday.

Dr. Benjamin Lee, secretary of the Pennsylvania board of health, was conferred. The patients are now under surveillance. The four other Germans are believed to have the same disease.

Health Officer Doty said last night that he could not understand how th^re could have been any smallpox on the Kaiser Wilhem II. "A thorough inspection of the vessel was made," Dr. Doty said, "and there was not a trace of the disease. A second inspection of the passengers was made at Ellis island. Dr. Lee must either have improperly diagnosed the disease, or if it is smallpox it developed after the passengers had been passed at quarantine. My officers at Bremen and at Southampton, were not informed of smallpox at either place. I will make an investigation.

Lake Business Stirring.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 6.—The Marine Review will say today that contracts have been closed for 10 steel steamers and tow barges, two of which are for the Minnesota Steamship company and eight for John D. Rockefeller. The vessels will each be of 4,000 gross tons capacity on 14 feet 6 inches draft of water, and will be of the best modei^i construction in every way. The steamers will be 406 to 408 feet over all, and the tow barges 350 to 372 feet over all.

The vessel contracts divided among several lake shipbuilders. Options for two more ships for Mr. Rocketeller will probablv be taken up within a few days.

Franklin Interested in a Controversy Now Raging.

IT WAS JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.

•Tones' Confession Said to 1i« False by His Partner in Crime—Koblied His Benefactor—Dropped Bead in the Street—missing Man finally Located —Other Indiana

News. FRANKLIN, Ind., Dec. 6.—The com

munity is aroused over the saloon license controversy now being waged before the board of county commissioners, between W. J. Austis, the applicant, and the Good Citizens' league. This is the first fight the saloon men have made, every previous remonstrance having been successful in scaring off the applicant. The present remonstrance contains 206 names. At the last election 289 votes were cast in the ward, thus giving the remonstrance a majority of 61. After the general objections to the remonstrance had been overruled, the attorneys for the applicant filed a list of 26 voters, who asked that their names be stricken from the remonstrance.

This was agreed to, and the majority was reduced to 35. The defense is now attacking the genuineness of the signatures, and the men who circulated the remonstrance, prominent among them Dr. H. J. Hall, ex-chairman of the Prohibition state central committee, and President Scott of Franklin college, have been called to testify relative thereto. The defense hopes to find a sufficient number of illegal signatures to defeat the remonstrance. The leaerue is prepared to appeal to a higher court, if the defense is successful before the commissioners.
