BOB FIHliSo' R1L
The Pugilist's Backer Refuses to Sign
the Altered Agreement.
CONTEST FORMALLY DECLARED OFF
An Arrangement May be' Made for a Bout
Between Maher and Corbett The Cham
pion Declares That he Will Assault
Fltzslmmons on Sight.
Hot Si-rings, Ark., Oct. 23. Unless
Robert Fltzslmmons recants and, through
his manager, Martin Julian, accepts tho
extraordinary condition which confronts
tho fight situation here, thero will bo no
contest between Corbctt and Fltzslmmons
unless It bo an Impromptu ono, shorn of
purso offering, ring rules, referee and
seconds, for Corbctt says that unless Fltz
slmmons acts tho man nnd accommodates
himself to circumstances "ho will send
him to a hospital" tho first time ho moots
him, and that ho will goqultoaway out of
his scheduled thoatrlcal routo to meet the
Cornish man.
Yesterday thero was a conferenco be
tween Dan Stuart, Joo Vendlg and tho
fighters, tho latter by proxies, Hrady rep
resenting Corbett, and Fltzslmmons' rep
resentative being his brother-in-law, Mar
tin Julian. Mr. Stuart wanted a post
ponement until Nov. 15. Ho argued that
oven if tho court of final rosort sustained
tho decision of tho chancellor it would
tako that long to restore confldonco and
get tho crowd to Hot Springs. Brady, for
Corbett, was willing, but Julian was not.
Tho proposition was then mado to havo
tho men light In private for tho main
stake, $10,000 a side. Hero Stuart inter
jected an oiler of an ndded $10,000 Brady
was ofmln willing, but Julian domurred.
Ho opined that tho club, if it pulled tho
fight off on Oct. 31, would havo to niako
good Its full promise of $11,000.
In nil equity, in tho fueo of tho entan
glements which havo besot tho path of
Ban Stuart and Joo Vendlg, this cannot
bo done. Where, a month ago, hundreds
of excursion parties woro being organized
for tho trip to tho fight, there are nono to
day. Stuart asked for time, nnd Corbctt
granted It, but Fltzslmmons 1ms exacted
his full pound of llesh. As manors stand
at this moment, to uso tho words of How
ard B. Hackctt, tho highest pugilistio au
thority in America, Corbett wants to
light, but Fltzslmmons dow not.
Finally, In a moment of disgust, tho
Florida Athletic club declared tho contest
between Jumes J. Corbett and Robert
Fltzslmmons off. Tho programmo now is
to substitute Peter Mnlier for Fltzslm
mons in a contest with Corbctt, and an
other man to bo found will bo depended
011 to entertain Stovo O'Dounoll. '
President Dan A. Stuart last night gavo
tho following statement to 11 representa
tive of tho Associated Press: "At tho out
set," began Mr. Stuart, "it must bo con
ceded that I was right. The fact that I
was right Is demonstrated when it is
recollected that it took au extraordinary
session of tho legislature of the stato of
Texas to mako mo wrong. This, after tho
highost criminal tribunal of tho stato had
adjudged 1110 right.
"I seek other coigns. Ono Is afforded
mo hero in tho stato of Arkansas. Every
inducement Is mado mo to bring off tho
contest horc. I am told that there Is noth
ing illegal in what is projected. Woro I
other than sound in my bollof that Chan
cellor Lenthormnn would bo sustained by
tho supremo court I would never havo
mado tho offer to defer tho contest and per
sonally obligate mysolf to seo that the full
J41.O0O would bo paid over to tho winner of
the contest.
"I did know, howovcr, that there was a
great deal of doubt as to my ability to ro
lustill confldonco into tho light going pub
Ho by tho timo originally agreed upou. I
asked for a postponement of eleven days.
Mr. Corbctt was willing. Mr. Fltzslm
mons was not. To my offor to add a purso
of $10,000 on tho heels of Fltzslmmons'
proposition to moot Corbctt In private
on Oct. 31 Mr. Julian, acting for Fitz
simmons, domurred. Ho would have tho
contest tako plneo on Oct. 31 or not at all.
I contended that if it was worth Fltzslm
mons' while to light on Oct. 31 It woro
better to wait olovon days and win 110,000
more.
, "My offer Is now permanently with,
drawn. I nm unwilling to beliovo that
any fair proposition will meet tho ap
proval of Fltzslmmons. I havo no partic
ular liking for tho prosent champion, yet
I must accord him that which is his duo.
Ho saw tho plight in which tho Florida
Athletic club was placed and appeared
willing to accommodate himself to cir
cumstnncos. Mr. Fltzslmmons may or
may not bo ablo to comprehend tho situa
tion, and his personal actions I would not
attempt to crltlclzo."
In tho supremo court, at LtHIo Rock,
yosterday Attornoy General Klusworthy
presented a petition for an order re
straining tho proposed fight from taking
placo pending a hearing of tho caso on its
merits. Attornoy Martin asked for further
time, und tho hearing of this motion was
thereupon adjourned until today. Should
tho restraining order bo granted tho caso
will probably not como up for n hearing
on its merits until somo time next spring,
relieving tho governor of further responsi
bility. In tho ovent that tho order bo re
fused Governor Clnrko Intimates that he
might convene tho legislature to pass a
felony net.
It is given out that Julian will have
Fltzslmmons in Dallas on tho 31st, where
tho contract stipulates tho fight shall oc
cur, and claim tho forfeit of B,500.

One Miner Instantly Killed and Another ,
Dangerously Injured. I
ROCK FALLS IN MAPLE HILL I
The Unfortunate Men Wore at Work
Shovoling Away Debris From Under
the Treacherous Mass When
It FeU Without Warning.
Thoro was an accident In tho workings of
tho Maple Hill colliery hist night by which
0110 miner was instantly killed and another
dangerously injured. A third man working
on tho shift escaped injury, although ho was
close to tho victims when tho accident oc
curred. The man killed was Albert Defrohn,
who resided at 218 Wont Coal street. The
injured man is Anthony Rulmls, a Lithu
anian, residing on Xortli Plum alloy.
Defrohn and llulmis were contractors on
the night shift driving what is known as
No. 1 plane of tho slant gangway, lloth mon
were under tho top rock, shoveling out the
loose stuff to George Matchulis, tho laborer,
who was shoveling the debris into a car.
Tho intention was to clear fho placo and
mako ready for another shot. It was be
tween seven nnd eight o'clock. After tho
miners had shoveled for somo time tho top
rock fell without warning. A solid mass fell
upon Defielm, throwing him down upou his
face and crushing the life out of him. Death
must havo been instantaneous. Ilubnis, tho
Lithuanian miner, was fortunate, but suf
fered considerably. He escaped tho bulky
mass and was covered by smaller pieces, lie
was not as close to the faco as Dufrohn was.
Matchulis, who was not working under tho
top, but closo to tho opening under it, es
caped tho fall and did not receive a scratch.
Matchulis hurried out after tho full
occurred and summoned assistance from
the main gangway. Willing hands were
soon at work and Hubnis was pulled
from beneath the debris in a half smothered
condition. Efforts to get Dofrohn's body
out failed for a time. Tho piece of rock that
pinned it down was so heavy that tho united
efforts of nine men could not move it. Tho
men wero obliged to break tho rock in nieces
to get tho body out. An examination of the I
remains showed there were no outward indi
cations of mutilation, llulmis' right leg was
crushed below tho knee and his body was
badly contused. It is believed he is injured
internally. llulmis was sent to tho Minors'
hospital this morning.
Albeit Defrehn was 3S years of age. Ho
is survived by a wife, hut no children. The
funeral will tako placo at 8 o'clock on Friday
niorningund Rev. Robert O'lloyle, pastor of
the Trinity Reformed church, will officiate at
the ceremonies.
