THE OMAHA DAILY BE } & WEDNESDAY , KARCIt 17 , 1807.
ad the prospective winner. The pool room
was well patronized , and the betting has 1m *
proTcJ. No pools for largo amounts have
been sold. All so far were for small amounts ,
$6.50 to $10 , and $12 to $20 , with an occa-
nlonal $70 to $100. So far , at least , $25,000
hare been bet ono the result. If any large
Ijeta hare been made hero the arrangements
were private. Quite as much attention was
paid to the races during the day. The truth
is. perhaps , that all , except enthusiastic
friends of Fltzslmmons , arc controlled by the
belief that ho can win only by a chance Jab ,
nod thfj odds are not largo enough to Induce
admirers to bet freely on him.
It" Is estimated that with the arrivals this
afternoon and evening , 2,600 strangers are In
town. The bulk of the crowd expected will
corao In tomorrow morning , when the minors
from Virginia City and several more special
trains are rluo.
The talc of tickets was brisk today , and
Dan Stuart fccla moro hopeful about a largo
attcndanco than for several days. How largo
it will be , no ono can toll , but It la now ex
pected to reach from 4,000 to 5,000. Every
train that arrived today was late , and It la
not unlikely that some people who , from
the east , are now on their way here , may not
Bet In In tlmo to see tbo fight ,
Regarding the chances of the men , thcr
lias been but llltlo change In the opinion o
the sporting men. Corbett Is the favorlt
among the betting men , but It cannot b
denied that there has been during the da ;
an Increase In which the esteem of th
chances of Fltzslmtnons are heltj. Muldoon'
opinion of FlUslmmons has gained frlendi
for the latter , as naturally It should , whei
It la considered that Muldoon Is a friend o
Corbett , and wlshoa for his success.
WBIG11T OP TUB FIGHTERS.
Corbett will enter the ring weighing 181
pounds , three more than when ho tough ,
Mitchell. Fltzslmmons' weight Is estimate
t 165 pounds , although Julian said today
that ho will be heavier than that , "or be
tween 170 and ISO. " Julian said very plainly
that Fltz would not concede moro than
twelve pounds to Corbett.
Both men have carefully planned thol ,
battle and while neither of them will discus :
the matter It Is evident that both have given
the matter enough thought. Th lr plans 01
liatllo are well understood , however , de
splto the ojcrecy which has been maintained
by the fighters and their trainers. Corbet
will fight a careful battle and for severa
rounds at lenst will endeavor to keep his
antagonist at arm's length. When ho con
siders that he has worn Fltzslmmons. down
comewlmt he wlll'go In for closer work am
endeavor to win. For the first five rounds a.
least It Is the Intention of the Corbett party
to have their man fight In a defensive manner
nor , particularly with his handi. Corbet
fit first will endeavor to draw Fltzslmmons
Into making leads and rely on the clmnco o :
landing a counter.
Fltzslmmons baa also planned to do a
trlflo slow work for tbo first round or two ,
but after that he will endeavor to get close
to his man and land ono of thosn "awful
rlght-handcra" which have so many times
returned him a winner. Fltzslmmons Is not
capable , by reason of his aggressive temper
ament , of remaining on the defensive for
any great length of time , and he knows well
that his strength lies In offensive fighting.
lie Is In moat respects on abnormal man and
he docs not talk , act or think according to
accepted standards. In all things ho la un
conventional and original. Ho follows meth
ods In his training which will not suit ono
( man In thousands , but under them ho con
ditions himself to perfection. Ho fights ac
cording to notions of his own and he Is
always victorious. Ho eald today of hlm-
eclf :
"I never fought any man on the aamo
plan that I fought anybody before him and
I never try to tell myself how to fight be
fore. I begin. When the time comes I do as
my Instincts tell mo and that Is all I can
tell about It. "
"Fltzalmmons1 plan of battle , " said
Julian , "la known only to himself except in
the merest outlines. Ho la the queerest man
I over saw and although I have been with
him for many years I do not understand
Hum at all. I have given up trying to un
derstand him. Ho always hag something
vpr his .sleeve and ho has It now , but I have
Biven up trying to gucsa him. I Just get
along with him the best way I can'.and Jet
the results take care of themselves. "
FIT& MAY' LEAVE THE QOUNTRY ,
Fltzslramonl 'today'Me.i3ed ' # that. In the
event of his losing tho'fight he will leave
the country. "What else Is there for mo' to
do ? " h6sald.
"I cannot get any moro matches In the
middleweight class , and If I lose this It
will show that I am not In the heavyweight
class , and then , as I cannot act like Corbett ,
there Is nothing for mo to do but get out.
I expect toyin of course , but any man may
lose a fight and of course there Is a chance
of my losing this one. A fighter always
takes chances no matter who he la up
against. One thing Is sure , If I lose I quit
the United States. "
Just who will be In Corbett's corner to
morrow baa not beendecided. While , Delaney -
lanoy and McVey will , of course , second
their man , but who the fourth man will bo
is still n matter of doubt. Corbett has In
timated that ho would like to have his
brother Joe bahlnd him , but White favora
John Donaldson , who arrived today and who
lias had much experience In that lino. Jimmy
Colvlllo of Boston will act aa timekeeper
f or , Corbett.
JOHN J. I.NGALLS AllIUVES.
Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls of Kansas came
In today. "I have never been to a prize
light" ho said to a gentleman on the train ,
"but I wanted to see ono before I die. "
Mr. Ingalls was trained down to his usual
line edge and did nnt take up much room In
the traveling suit and box overcoat in
which bo reached the scene. Ho admitted
on- his arrival that ho did not know much
about prize fighting , either In theory or In
practice , but he was very willing to learn
and accepted an Invitation to visit Corbott's
quarters. The cx-nonator looked na though
he rather regretted the tilp uhen lie was
ushered Into the smoky bar room at Shaw's
Springs , filled as It was with brawny ,
strong Jawed devotees of the game , who
stared suspiciously at the gentleman from
Kansas. There was little clmnco for es
cape , however , and he followed his cwcor * .
Into Corbett'a parlor , where Introduction en
sued ,
"How do you do , My. Corbett , " said Mr.
Ingalls , "I hope your folks are well. "
"Out of eight , old man , " Raid the cham

"I Intend to sew the mutch tomorrow and
thought I would comu out and BOO you , " aila
the statesman , "I don't know much about
this branch of gymnastics. "
"I'll bo glad to post you , senator , " replied
Corbett. "What can I tell you ? "
"Well , for Instance , how hard are you al
lowed to hit your opponent ? " asked Senator
Ingalls with evident return of courage.
"As haul as jpu can punch , " was the
nniwer , amid a general laugh which again
disconcerted the questioner. Hut bsas

know much about the acoro. "
That floored Corbclt , and to cover his
visitor's confusion , he began a llttlo rapid
work with the dumbbells. Mr. Ingalls hastily
retreated to a far corner of the room from
which ho Viewed the work with evident ad
miration.
" 1 think you musti bo ai very nlco fighter ,
Mr. Corbett , " the ex-senator said when the
exhibition was finished , "and I think you
will boat Mr. KItrsImmons. Wo are both
American citizens and of course I sympa
thize always with Americans. I don't know
your opponent , but I don't think ho can
whip you. You are eo big , you know. "
Mr. Ingalls soon drove back to town , where
he was met by Governor Sadler and the two
walked to Dan Stuart's big arena.
"Dear mol" Bald the ex-senator s ho
stepped on the ring platform. "What a big
place , why this beats the national conven
tions all to pieces , doesn't It ? Prize light
ing must bo quito a lucrative enterprise to
Justify such splendid preparations. I am
qulto glad I came. "
Governor Sadlerwas delighted with his
visitor's enthusiasm , and look him to dinner
at the executive mansion. During the even

many other men prominent In pugilistic cir

HAS A FATAL FLAW
( Continued from First Pago. )
.similar strain. Ho expressed himself as
being favorable to the bill , but said that
ho could not support the amendment.
Mr. Mutz was of the opinion that If the
amendment was repudiation then the present
law amounted to the same thing , for , as
ho understood It , the amendment made no
change In the present law , for even now the
mortgagee can recover from the surety and
the surety can In turn recover from the
mortgagor.
Mr. Murphy of Oago took the floor , but
yielded for a motion to take a recess until
2 o'clock.
After recess Mr. Murphy proceeded to
argue In favor of the amendment because
It was the only redeeming feature of the
bill. He was opposed to the bill. He held
that It was perfectly Just to hold the surety
for a deficiency , but unjust to release the
principal who had had the benefit of the
money. The bill Itsilf , ho declared , was bad.
Mr. Leo announced his Intention of voting
for the bill tor the rccson that Its passage
would bo approved by the people.
Mr. Jcffcoat mads his maiden speech and
opposed the amendment , but favored the bill.
IIo declared that the people did not desire
to repudiate their debts , but they' were In
voluntarily compelled to resort to repudia
tion. At the conclusion of his remarks a
veto was taken on the pending amendment
and It was rejected by a vote of 8 to 15.
EXEMPT EXISTING CONTRACTS.
Mr. Murphy then offered an amendment
providing that the act should not bo applic
able to any existing contracts or obligations
or any suit now pending or any decree or
Judgment already rendered thereon.
Mr. Deal opposed this amendment , saying
that ho preferred to leave the question open
for the courts to decide.
Mr. Gondrlng favored tbo amendment. Ho
said with some warmth that the bill was
dangerous , If the remedy for the enforce
ment of the contract Is taken away.
Mr. Mutz made a hot talk In favor of the
bill. Ho read a blank mortgage , showing ,
as ho asserted , that It was a conditional con
tract to sell the promises. When the mort
gage was foreclosed the property was taken
and the contract fulfilled.
Mr. Hansom assorted that the proposal
meant repudiation. To pass the law under
discussion would be to make good the repub
lican charge that the fusloiilsts were friendly
to repudiation. It the legislature passes this
law the state of Nebraska would stand before -
fore the whole country as the advocate of
repudiation. In the course of his remarks
Mr. Kansom took occasion to make a vigor
ous reply to some statements made by ht
colleague ; Mr. Jeffcoat of Douglas. While
on the floor some time prevlouesly Mr. JefT-
coat had characterized the leaner of money
as a shylock. Mr. Ransom said with some
heat that the man must b& possessed of a
small mind indeed If he branded a man as
a shylock who loaned money and asked to
have It repaid when it was due.
Mr. Graham said at the beginning of his
remarks in favor of the bill that the men
who opposed it had lived in the cltlea so long
that they knew nothing about the situation
In the country.
INTEREST OF THE FARMER.
Mr. Gondrlng again took the floor and
made a moat spirited denunciation of the bill.
Ho was surprised , he declared , that mem
bers of the reform party had the hardihood
to openly and publicly advocate the passage
of a law that meant so plainly that existing
contracts should bo Invalidated and that
repudiation of honest debts ehould be Justi
fied. Ho said that nine-tenths of the mem
bers of the reform party In Nebraska would
condemn the passage of the 'bill. He de
clared that the bill was damning If the
amendment offered by the senator from Gage
was not attached to It. He Insisted that the
farmers of the state were not demanding
repudiation. What they wanted more than
anything else was an opportunity to renew
the mortgages on their farms , and they did
not want any law passed that would pre
vent them from , renewing.
Mr. Beal , author of the bill , made a lengthy
argument In favor of the measure. , Ho was
followed by Mr. Muflly of Madison , who also
argued for the bill. '
Mr. Murphy of Gage closed the debate on
his amendment. Ho declared that for the
first time in Its-history In Nebraska populism
stood before the people stripped of ita
hypocrisy.
After Mr. Murphy had concluded , his
amendment was rejected. The committee
then , by a vote of 13 to 11 , rose an $ recom
mended tbo bill to pass. The report was
adopted 'by ' a vote of 17 to 13.
A large number of committee reports were
received. Dills on third reading werp taken
up and the following was passed : Senate
file No. 210 , relating to school districts In
villages.
Just after recess the senate passed No. 104 ,
relating to the protection of flsh.
The anti-corporation bills pending In the
senate comm'ltteo on miacellanpous corpora
tions were this afternoon reported and placed
on general file. There were eight of the
bills regulating and taxing telephone , tele
graph , express and street railway companies ,
cigarette manufacturers and oil companies.

LINCOLN , March 10. ( Special Telegram. )
The jury In the case of Attorney Jefferson
II. Broady against ex-Stnto Treasurer John
B. Hill this morning handed In a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff and fixed the amount
iluo at $483.33 , with interest amounting-
$17. $ Broady sued for $8.000 , alleged to be a
balance duo him from Hill for services ren
dered In tbo defense of the cose of the state
against the ox-treasurer for $230,000. The
plaintiff claimed that hla services In prose
cuting the case In district and supreme
: ourts were of the value of $10,000 , and that
lie had as yet received but $2,000. The
plaintiff also alleged that ho defended Hill
in the Impeachment proceedings brought by
: ho state senate to oust him from the office of
state treasurer. In both of these cases Mr.
Broady obtained a verdict favorable to his
: llent. Hill admitted the rendering of the
services , but alleged that the sum of $2,000
laid by him was a reasonable fee. Judge
Hastings , In Instructing the jury , gave It
; reat scope In lie decision , but the Instruc
.Ions seemed to favor the plaintiff.

Charley RhoJeS and John Hormct got Into

In the course of the flght Hormct drew a

AKBIIS REPLIES TO LAAVIIENCE.
LINCOLN , Neb. , March 13 , 1807. To the
Editor of The Bee : I have just read an ar
ticle published In The Bee of March 10th
written by one George H. Lawrence , accus
ing mo as secretary of the State Board of
Irrigation of sending out an Inaccurate re
port , and misleading the people on various
questions.
Lawrence signs himself C. E. , "civil en
gineer. " Indeed : I should bo glad If Law
rence would Inform the public where ho re
ceived his degree as "civil engineer , " or how
ho comes to bo entitled to sign himself C.
E. Lawrence should know1 what he1 la-'dolng
before ho criticises any one. As to the flrat
seVcnty pages which he criticises as a real
estate boom circular. It Is simply a history of
Irrigation in various counties of the state ,
nrltton by eminent and truthful men who are
a crecllt to Lawrence , and I believe their
statements are true- , and when Lawrence
says many statements are Inaccurate I be
lieve be states what ho knows to bo untrue.
Ho especially takes mo to task for presum
ing to "write an article on the "Duty of
Water , " and says that the article Itself
shows that I know but little about the duty
of water , and less about the measurements.
Now , I said nothing about measurements ,
and therefore he has no right to criticise mo
an that point. I claim to have some knowl
edge , however , of the duty of water , hav
ing been a practical Irrlgator for a number
at years , and I. do not bellevo any man who
has not been a practical Irrlgator knows
much about the duty of water.
Where did Lawrence acquire his superior
iblllty In determining the duty of water ,
) r its measurement , either , or where did
10 get the right to claim superior ability
is an irrigation engineer ? I have known
Lawrence for the lost six or seven years ,
ind from the first time that ho ever saw
in Irrigation ditch , and I challenge him
o show that ho ever had any practical
[ nowledge of Irrigation whatever. He knows
10 more about practical irrigation than a
log knows about Latin. IIo bos made his
ionic in Scotts Bluff county for the last
Ivo cr six years with the exception that
10 has been awuy a good deal of the tlmo
luring tbo last two years , and during all
ho time ho ban been In that county he has
milt but ono ditch , and that a small one ,
ibout five miles in length , In which ho was
> art owner. This bo took from two men
vho had started a ditch In Wyoming on
echnlcal grounds , and after ho had built
t against the judgment of his partner , who
ad more sense and moro knowledge , though
lot a "C. E , , " they were compelled to spend
1,000 on the bank In repairs before they
ould ever get water through the first throe
nllos of It. "Civil engineer ! " Ha ! ha ! ha !
) ld Mr. Peters , who made no pretensions to
10 any kind of an engineer , told him the
Our ! 's and. . . .
. . . .Other Eyes.
Our I'a are just as strong as
they were fifty years ago , when
we have cause to use them.
Hut we have less aud less cause
to praise ourselves , since others
do the praising , and we are
more thau willing for you to see
MS through other eyes. This
Is how we look to S. F. Boyce ,
wholesale and retail druggist ,
Dululh , Minn , who after a
quarter of a century of obser
vation writes :
"I have sold '
Ayer'fl Sarsaparilla -
rilla for more thau 25 years ,
both at wholesale aud retail ,
and have never heard anything
but words of praise frota niy
customers ; not a single com
plaint has ever reached me. I
believe Ayer's Sarsapnrilla to
be th : best blood purifier , that
has been introduced to the gen
eral public. " This , from a
tuan who has sold thousands of
dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla ,
it strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over , which has ,
"Nothing but words of praise
for Aycr'a Sarsaparilla. "

ditch would not stand , and bis predictions
proved true.
I hope Lawrence will bo good cnotlRb to
toll tbo people where ho over cnrnpd the
nnmo of Irrigation engineer , nnd the only
Irrigation engineer In tbo state , as ho
claimed to bo , to cay nothing of the title
which bo signs "C. 13. " If I were Lawrence ,
I would not boast so loudly about compe
tency until t could at least pronounce the
simplest terms used In connection with the
formulas of which ho knows so much. In
n content tried before mo at Ord of the
< \Jmorla Irrigation company against U. A ,
Oard , Lawrence appeared as ( a witness , and
several times during the trial ho pronounced
the word velocity "vollclty. " I know
another case In which Lawrence took a
quit claim deed , written by himself , to a
county clerk for record , and In tbo deed ho
spoiled quit claim "quick claim. " I presume -
sumo ho meant ( p. d. q. ) A flno specimen
to bo posing as a scientific man , a com
petent , hydraulic engineer , n "G. "R. " I
doubt very much whether Lawrence knows
that tbo letters C. E. stand for a degrco
conferred by nn Institution of learning. If
ho does let him tell where ho got the right
to USD It.
The only trouble about table 19 which
bo criticises so unmercifully la , that ho
does not know what bo Is talking about ,
hut where "Ignoranco Is bllas , 'tis folly to
bo wUo. " In answer to the charge of In
accuracy of table 19 , It would simply bo
a waste of tlmo and paper to discuss tbo
formulas for flow of water through aper
tures , since tbo writer has demonstrated
that he knows nothing about It. The height
of the aperture In the above table No. 19
rnd also the head of water Is that stipulated
by law , and slnco the miner's Inch Is the
quantity of water flowing through a square
Inch of opening , the discharge In miner's
Inches must necessarily bo equal to the
number of square Inches In the opening
which Is 4SxC-2S8 square Inches. However ,
the attention of Lawrence Is callo.1 to page
132 of the report Iti which la set forth that
a cubic foot per second la equal to very
nearly forty Inches , and not fifty as as
sumed by Lawrence "C. E. " Go soak yqur
head , Lawrence , and when you learn iho
A n C's of water measurements , you may
then criticise the statements of other -men.
The man who prepared table 19 forgets
moro In regard to Irrigation engineering
every night he sleeps , than you ever know.
You are a pretty specimen to criticise the
work of ono who Is entitled to wrlto C. E.
after bis name. The only trouble with you
la that 1 happen to occupy the place which
you would like to occupy , and which you
havq not brains to rccuro , and you Imagine
that the only way to build yourself up Is
to tear me down. I should think you bad
learned long ago , that this Is a mistake.
You commenced your abuse of mo when I
run for the senate , and you did your level
best then , to defeat me , and have kept It up
until now , and have gained nothing , and
as far as I am concerned personally , I had
rather have you against mo than for mo ,
where you are known. Hut I do not like
to have such an Ignoramus writing articles
to newspaper men and criticising such men
as E. T. Youngfolt , H. O. Smith , C. F. Seo-
borgcr and Ed McLcrnon , and sign himself ,
"C. E. "
You had better go back to Columbus and
smash up another piano for your slater.
Go slunk away and hide yourself from the
view of decent men.V. . It. AKEUS ,
0. E. ( nit. )
P. S. Since writing tbo above , I have been
Jellberatlng and I conclude that I may have
been too harsh with Lawrence In stating
that he had no right to sign his narno "C.
E. " It Is barely possible that ho Is a mem
ber of the Christian Endeavor society , In
which case I suggest that ho use their rnono-
rani in signing Ills name , Instead of the two
Jingle letters , "C. E. " W. R. A.
