TWO WIND-BAG PUGILISTS
Mitchell and Corbott Meet in a BarKoom, and a Wordy War Ensues. Called Each Other N&mtR, bat Were Careful Not to Use Their Fists Sullivan Ssjs He Will Sign the Contract to Fight. New York, March 21. This evening Charlie Mitchell and Frank Slavin took a cab and rode down to Miner's Bowery Theater, intending to hire a box from which to witness Corbett's boxing exhibition. Several friends were with them. Off the lobby is a bar-room into which Mitchell strolled wbilo his manager went to buy tickets. There was Corbett at the bar. Mitchell strode ferociously toward him, and. it is affirmed, mado some abusive remark that cansed Corbett to intimate that Mitchell was not behaving as a gentleman. Then, according to Mitchell's friends, the talk ran thus: Mitchell I met yon here and treated yon as a genjleman. Corbett (in a pacifying manner) Why, Charlie! Mitchell (laying asido his cane) I'll tight you here, or Pllgo down 6tairs and fight you now. Why don't you lay asido your cane. (Jumping for Corbett's cane.) Corbett I won't light you here. I'm a gentleman. Mitchell Oh! yon are. If yon are a gentleman why don't you use me as such. Corbett I will sign articles aud tight yon in the ring. Mitchell you're a fighter, are you notf You're a acutleman, ehl Now what will make you light! Is there anything that will matte yon tightf You'ro a (using a string of epithets. Now, will that make yon tight! Corbett, at this,, partially turned, so Mitchell's friends say, but was taken away by friends, while Mitchell went out to the liottinan House. Another story of the rumpus from the time Mitchell entered the bar-room, where Corbett was. runs thus: Corbett turned around as he entered, and said. "How nro you. Mitchell!" "I don't know as that matters much to you." was the reply. "You don't think I'll tight, do your" "Did you come here to make trouble!" Corbett asked. "No matter about that Yon don't think I'll tight, do you!" "Well, you had a chance to fight me in Madison-square Garden, and you backed out of it." replied Corbett calmly. "You're a blnnkety blank." shouted Mitchell, "and I'll go right down stairs withyou now." "Well, now, be a bit caroful, Mitchell," said Corbett, bristling np. "You came here to take advantage of me. I'm a gentleman, and that's more than yon can say." "Ha! ha!" reolied Mitchell, sarcastically, "a gentleman, eh! Why, you're a fightor, and a poor ono at that." "Pm a gentleman," replied Corbett, "and I don't fiuhtin bar-rooms." They were chest to chest by this time, and it looked very much as thongh somebody was in for a punching. Men tried to interfere with the boxers, bnt they were shaken oft and. tho war of words waged hotter and more bitter. "I'll tight you any time or place yon name," exclaimed the Californian. "You are a windbag fighter, anyway." "You will," then tsaid Mitchell, menacingly. "Well, come into a room right now. Y'ou're a big still, you ere, aud I can lick yon right here. Put down that stick." Corbett had been holding a big silvermounted cane in his left hand, and to emphasize his remarks hu frequently brought it down with force cnougn to shatter the rerrulo or demolish one of tho marble blocks in the lloor. By this time there were at least n hundred men in the place. A majority of them were standing quietly by waiting to see what would happen, aud hoping to hare an opportunity of witnessing a bare-knncklo light between two of tho best-known .ipusiiists in the world without having4o pay a cent for the show. "You're a bitf 'coward and a blankety, blank, blank, blank!" cried Mitchell at tbe top ot his voice. . "Come on and tight, why don't yon!" "5fo aro you, yon big English cur," retorted Corbett, who had been dragged into the lobby by his sparring partner, Jim Daly. Mitchell and Slavin were ordered to leave the place and the policeman cleared everybody out. SulIIvsn Will feign the Contract. Chicago. March 21. "It suits me," said champion John L. Sullivan this afternoon nt tho Auditorium. "Of course, I'll sign it as a guarantee of good faith." Mr. Sullivan referred to tho agreement proposed by tho Olympio Club of New Orleans, regulating. the little atlair between him and Mr. Corbett, which the club will witness Sept. 7. The club demands tho right of naming tbe referee, providing time-keepers of its own and asking that a &2.5C0 deposit be placed in its hands by both men. "It is only right," continued John, as he threw away more than half of an nnsmoked thirty-live-cent eigar, and buttoned up his tightly-fitting coat, "that I shonld give them to understand that I am in earnest, and want to do tho right thing with him. 1 have not received any letter yet, butl suppose they have sout on the articles to Now York and I'll get thorn in a day or two. Still, thisman (the champion did not honor Corbett by eayiog his name) could got out ot it even at that by feigning sickness, or saying that he had a bd lung, or a bad ankle. 1 don't think much of him. He noTcr got a real halt punch in his life, excopt, may bo, one from tho nigger, when they sparred ont West, He told me. himself, tben. that another punch like that wonld kill him. The fellow is looking for ono of those dudo jobs of teaching sparring in tho New York Athletic Club at $1,7C0 a yrar. That's his size." John said that after tbe fight, if Corbett had the courago to fnco him, he would nuver enter the ring r.gain. Would he go on the BtJigo altotfrtiierf Well, he did not know. He wasa triiloold to begin to study the drama seriously. Collier had been after him to study gladiator parts, and he thought well of it at one time, but now he believed he would go into the gymnasium business in New York after a couple ye ais inoro of molodrama.

JUDGES WILL GO TO JAIL They Still Kefnse to LeTy a Tax for the Pcjmsnt of Ktnias Railway Bonds. Kansis City, March 11. Sentence upon the county court judges of Cass and St. Clair counties for contempt of court will not be pronounced by Judge Phillips antil next Monday. The judges were notified of the postponement by the clerk of tbe United States Circuit Court, and so did not come to the city to-day as they had intended doing. It is almost certain that the judges will go to jail, as tho people of both St. Clair and Cass counties are still unwilling that a tax shall bo levied to pay tho outstanding Tebo & Neosho bonds, which were voted by these counties many years ago. The railroad was never built, but the bonds, amounting to Sl.7o0.000, got into tbe hands of Innocent purchasers, and the conuties canuot escape liability. For more than twenty years the matter has bnen in litigation, withoutfiual adjustment. Tho bondholders aro willing to accept $450,100 from St. Clair county in naymeut
I of its indebtedness of three quarters of a million dollars, while from Cat county, which owes $1,000,000. ?7V).000 will be aoccpted as a compromise. In the past judges have been committed to jail, time and time again, for refusing to levy a tax to redeem the bonds, and it is expected that tho present judges will f ollotr the example of their predecessors. Late this afternoon Judge Phillips of the United States Circuit Court, called W. A. Kay, . F. Lane and E. M. George, the three judges of Cass county, to tbe bar of the court and sentenced them to jail until they should mako some arrangement for payment of tiro bonds voted by Cass county twenty years ago in aid of the Tebo & Neosho railroad. He also imposed a tine of 500 on each. The judges received their sentence in silence, although they were surprised at its severity. Thoy wero released on tbeir own recognizance until to-morrow, when they will bo taken to the place of their confinement.

Lamson Brothers & Co., a leading Board of Trade firm, are reported losers to tho extent of $40,000 to $C0,C00 by thy peculations of employes. The firm's cashier and book-keeper, according to current gossio, were in collusion and bought from 250,000 to SC0.C00 bushels of wheat on their own account, but putting it down to the firm as on account of various customers. The steady drop in the market, aud the resulting calls for margins brought the frand to light The accused cashier is Burt Smith, and the book-keeper Robert Whittaker. The affair was apparently not regarded on 'Change as shaking the strong financial standing of the Lamsons. A report was current that the culprits had fled, but this was denied. The two young men, according to one authority, began by making a phenomenal profit on tho big rise in wheat to $1.18 in August last, winning $32,000 on $50 of thelrown money, which they had luckily placed. This sum they divided, reserving half for future operations on tbe board and spending the other half in riotous living. The 816.000 capital was wholly wiped out in the long decline which set in and the two daring scalpers, hoping for a better turn, resorted to frands.un til they were obliged to plunge deeper. Tbe deal which finally swamped them, it :siiid, was a purchase of 500.000 bushels at 25c Today tho market touched 83o. m m RENEWAL OF A FEUD.

ilKS. PARNIiLiS SPCTLAT10NS. The Verdict la Hf r Farcr in an 01 J Caie Affirmed by a Pennsjlrania Coart. PniLADELrniA, March 21. The Supreme Court to-day affirmed the decision of the Court of Tjommon Pleas of Philadelphia county, in favor of Mrs. Delia Parnell, mother cf the late Charles Stewart Parnell, the administrator of the estate of Charlotte Smith, deceased. The facts upon which the question arose aro as follows: In July. ISTtJ. Charlotte Smith deposited with tho appellee, Delia T. Parnell. $1,533 to be devoted, in her discretion, to speculation in stocks for the risk acd benefit of the owner. The money so intrusted was so applied by the appellee in accordance with this understand icg, and admittedly with good faith, but the speculations were unsuccessful, and the money was lost. This fact Mrs. Parnell did not communicate to Miss Smith, but attempted to retrieve tbe losses by using her own money. after the loss remitting over 3.000 to Miss Smith and allowing her to believe that the money was proceeds of her investment. The concealment was from the best motives, as Miss: Smith was in ill health, and Mrs. Parnell was afraid the disclosure of the loss wonld bo fatal. After the death of Miss Smith the administrator brought suit to recover the full amount of the money intrusted to Mrs. Parnell, on tbe ground that her 'silence respecting the loss and the remittances estop her from now showing that fact.

Trichina in tbe Sausage. MrMrnis, Tenn.. March 23. News reached this city, to-day, of a trichinosis fatality which occurred at Gustin, Miss., one hundred miles below Memphis. The town has no telegraphlo communication. Trichina in badly cooked sausage was tbe cause of Mrs. P. T. Tate's death, and eight members of her family, including three grandchildren, are in a precarious condition.

Some Inktlnc of now the Mouse Feels While the Cat risjs with It. New York Tribune, "Hid you ever see m cat play "with Its prey before killing itT'' asked a New Yorker the other day. who had hinted big game in almost every land whero big game can bo found. "No doubt you have, and you regarded it with nothing more ttan curiosity. Perhaps you have also seen her instruct her kittens how to shake and worry it, and terror and dread were tho things furthest from your mind at ths time, as you looked with an amused smile at the clumsiness of the kittens when they let the prey get away from them, aud tho big cat had to pounce on it nnd bring it back to them again. Nothing about that to make yon tremble, eht Of conrso not, but I once saw the same thing, and I was sick and faint with the horror of it, and I am no coward, either. It took place years ago, bnt I remember every bleed-curdling incident of it, as if it bad happened yesterday, and I would never forget it, if I lived a thcniand years. "You don't understand, ebf Well, my cat was a bigger one than yours. She was a man-eating tiger, and it all came about in this way. I was hunting in the jungle for birds, with one native gun-carrier, and as tbe day was broiling Lot. we baited by a little stream, to bathe our heads and hands. We were not expecting any big game, as none bad been seen in - the neighborhood lor somo time so we laid onr guns down ou tbe exposed roots of a tree, and we went perhaps a dozen paces from them to bathe. Suddenly, without a moment's warning, a dreadlul snarl came from behind us, and at tho same moment a big black nnd yellow streak shot from the underbrush and lit lull on tbo back of my man, who stood apart from mo. "He eank under the weight of the big tiger like a rag, and sho prepared to spring on me; but 1. being perfectly defenselens, had darted for tbe nearest tree and quickly scrambled into the branches. She uid not follow. Then I noticed that the big cat was followed by threo of i.er cubs. She took my man by the cloth which was tied about his loins, aud carried him, as gingerly as . a good retriever does a bird, without setting a tooth into him. ud tho bank of the stream, and set him down before ber young. Then she drew oil' a little way and watched me in tho tree, while her cubs smelt at their prey and began to paw him. One of them scratched him. and he regained couseioos11 ess. I saw hint throw tho whelps aside and spring to his feet, lu a jifly the old cat was on his back again, and he was down. He seemed to realize the situation then, for tho tirst time, snd he lay still aud rolled his eyes about in search of me. I shouted encouragement to him, and ho spied me. Ho implored me to shoot nnd not to fear bitting him. I told him our guns were all under the treo where we had left them, and that he and the tigers were between me and tbe firearms. "He was a br&ro man. an old hunter, so he said no more, but lay very still. And lying still was no easy thing to do. for the cubs bad grown more lively and were scratching his face, and chest and guawing at his legs with their snort, but sharp teeth. Ho endcred it as long as ho could and tben he gavo ono cub a blow with his clenched tirst on the ear that cent it rolling on tho ground. Ouick as a Hash its mother darted at him and hit him one crack on the arm that made it fall limp and bleeding by his tide. Then he lay still again and the whelps resumed worrying him. Presently 1 noticed a slight movement in his body. He was wriggling little by little away irom tho old X'mvr, toward a tree. Tho cubs did not notice it, as they tumbled over him and over ouo another, aud the old devil did not appear to be aware of it either. "By and by tbepoorfellow got within ten feet of the tree, and, jumping np. made a dash' for it. One of tho cubs hung to his ankle, and ho stepped on the little brute and stumbled. The old beast was up by this time, but I mado a move as if to come down from uiy tree and she benitated a moment betw een zne and him. That moment
