THEY WILL PROBABLY FIGHT Another Proposition Made to Corbett and Fltzslmmons. TO CONTEST FOR A SMALLER PURSE Julian Agrees to Have His Man in Hot Springs on Oct. 31 to Fight for a $10,000 Prize, and the Question Nov Bests With Corbett. Hot Spiunos. Ark., Oct. 23. Whtlo tho big light has boon formally declared off. thero is still a deal of hopo' that Corbett and Fltzslmmons will como together here. Tho situation Is, of course, complicated. So far as Its relations with tho Florida Athletic club is concerned tho heavyweight battlo under tho original Colcmnn Houso agreement, which was subsequently nmended at Dallas, Is a thing of tho past. In Its stead has cropped up a proposition to sign now articles to fight for a purso not exceeding $25,000, and havo tho battlo three weeks lator than was originally agreed upon. Corbett, It is known, favors this plan. Whllo Julian insists on tho full text nnd letter of tho nrticlos, both as to tho dato and purses, it is known hero that Fltz slmmons will como about and ngreo to settlement. It Is also thought that ho will submit to a reduction of tho purso orig inally hung up by tho club, and sign now nrticlos. Ho recognizes tho fact that on tho faco of recent developments Corbett has csconsed himself In tho best of It. To overcome this ho must and will fight. Martin Julian has mndo public tho namos of six men ho had selected from which tho referee was to bo chosen by Brady. Tho men named are as follows: John L. Sullivan of Boston, Jako Kilraln of Baltimore, Miko Donovan of Now York, Professor John M. Duffy of Now Orleans, Yank Sullivan of Syracuse and Lou M. Houseman, sporting odltor of tho Inter Ocean of Chicago. The names submitted permit of tho se lection of but ono mail on tho list Houseman. Brady would hardly select Sullivan or Kilraln, on tho ground that Corbett had whipped them and this might prejudico them. Miko Donovan and Cor bett have not spokon sinco tho Sullivan fight. Yank Sullivan nnd Duffy havo been rejected by Corbett already. Julian a proposition is now to bring his man on to Hot Springs on Oct. B0, put his side bet of $10,000 up in tho hands of Houseman, ask Corbett to do tho same, and then allow Houseman to appoint nil hour nnd place for tho men to meet in pri vate. If this plan fails!, as is likely, for Corbett insists on fighting in public unless Fltzslmmons Increases his sido wager to $20,000, Vcndig nnd Stuart think a new deal Is suro to ensuo. They say that tho men must meet, and that thoy will como together hero. Just on what lines tho conclusion is reached is not apparent, but tho friends of tho club and fighters hero aro gangulno of a favor able decision on tho appeal to tho supremo court on Chancellor Leatherman's finding In tho habeas corpus case. Equally san gulno aro tho members of tho citizens' committee that Governor Clarke will abido by tho decision of tho supremo court and retire gracefully. At a late hour last night Martin Julian accepted an offer of a $10,000 purso mndo by tho Hot Springs Athletic club for a fight 011 Oct. 31, under Its direction. Julian nt onco started for Spring Lako to confer with Corbett, who had declared early In tho day that ho would fight for any kind of a purso, on, before or after Oct. 31, Collector Herring Probably Innocent.

Special Meeting: of the School Board Held Last Night. MORE NIGHT SCHOOL TEACHERS I The Total Enrollment Reaches Nearly Five Hundred and Fifty and the Schools Have Become Overcrowded Addi tional Teachers Selected. A spotlal meeting of tho School Board was held last night to act on matters bearing upon tho evening schools and was attended by Messrs. Ogdcn, Trczisc, Hooks, Edwards, Mauley, Uanna, Conry, .Tntncs, Connors, Baugh, Price, Morgan and Devitt. Mr. Conry, tho chairman of the committco on evening schools, stated that the committee, upon finding that tho schools had becomo over crowded, decided to havo tho Board meet to tako action towards relieving tho condition by electing an additional teacher for tho girls' school, one for Union street and one for the Lloyd street building. Superintendent Whitakcr read a report showing the attendance and enrollment at tho evening schools, up to and including the 21st inst., as follows: Pic-cut on the first night, 375; second, 307; third, 40!); fourth, 45(1; fifth, 391; sixth, 371. Average atten dance of boys, 352; girls, 41; total average, 30U. Total enrollment of boys, 477; girls, 09; grand total, 543. Tho above shows the largest attendance ever recorded at the even ing schools in this borough nnd indicates a disposition on tho part of tho people to tako advantago of opportunities offered by these schools. Although tho attendance has been very largo it has not been as regular as tho Superintendent and School Board would liko to havo it. Tho attendance at the girls' school has been very gratifying. To im prove tho schools tho Superintendent recom mended the employment of an additional teacher for tho girls' school, that steps lie taken to get tho co-operation of parents in order to secure more regular attendance, aud that additional teachers bo employed for tho boys' schools, provided that they bo dropped a.'iiiu as soon as the attendance decreases. After the adoption of the repurts there was some discussion as to tho average attendance at each school, somo of the Directors express ing tho opinion that if pupils wero trans ferred from ono school to another tho average would not bo high enough to require addi tional teachers. Superintendent Whitakcr stated that there wero many reasons why a teacher of an evening school cannot success fully handle as many pupils as a day school teacher can, among them the fact that tho schools embrace pupils of several grades and the teachers employed havo not had tho ad vantage of experience that day echool teachers have had. It was finally decided to proceed to elect three additional teachers and they were selected from tho following list on tho roll of substitute teachers: MUsos Martha Shields, Fannie D. Gruhler, S.illio Roche, Hattio W. Jones, Katie Brogan, John McGowan, Katie C. Dougherty, Mary D. Griffiths, Lizzie North, Mary K. Mulhearn, Annie Flaherty, Katie Connelly, Libbio Cavauauglt, Tessio Harnett and Katie Burns. It required three ballots to effect tho elec tion. On tho first ballot Miss Jones was elected; on tho second Miss Roche, and on tho third Miss , Gruhler. Tho Superinten dent will assign tho teachers to their re spective positions and they will begin work to-night. Tho Board then discussed tho poor gaslight that is furnished in somo of tho evening schools aud in tho Directors' room. Tho committco on building and repairs was in structed to givo tho matter attention. Watson House Free Lunch. Scalloped oysters to-night. Vegetablo soup to-morrow morning.
