There was extensive argument by Winston and Hicks for the defense and Graham, Guthx-ie and Biggs of plaintiffs counsel. Finally Judge Shaw announced that he would, not allow the demurrer by the defense or the prayer for non-suit, and that he. held the board of Trinity trustees as a trial court hearing the Kilgo-CJark controversy was an abso lutely privileged court, so that air vhe erMenee heretofore submitted as de Mgned.to show malice against the 'plain tiff Gattis during the trial was im proper as was also that as to the de portment of Dr. Kiltro in conducting his defense in that court.

The judge said lie had not passed on the competency of such evidence and would possibly withdraw Mr. Biggs argument later.

Whether Mc Govern was in his best physical condi tion is a matter that will provoke dis cussion. Men who are unprejudiced and who saw the .former champion at his training quarters were not backward in declaring that he seemed a trifle drawn when he let up his work.

There was no agreement as to a decision, but it was simply a scheme by Harris to get a match for Terry and incidentally big gate receipts. Of course Corbett was to do the best he knew how. and Terry the same. The fact that there was no betting to speak of on the result of the fight and that odds of $4 to $1 on McGovern-wmt begging wheu the men got into the of uio second round, there was not a ;ring, is pretty good evidence that there shadow of doubt in the estimation of was no job. Harris and McGovern tne experts. 'between them had $5,000 to bet. but they could not get it down. After the mill there was one opinion that could be heard on all sides. It j was that McGovern was in no shape and thathe was overconfident. On the style displayed by him there was much caustic criticism. He did not adopt the crouching attitude that helped him so materially in his fights .with Dixon, Frank Erne, Pedlar Palmer, Joe Gans, Oscar Gardiner and other good men. He did nothing with his left hand. It was a most surprising thing to those who knew him. Then, again, his swings with the right were wild and poorly j timed. In point of defense McGovern was away off. The mill was. one of the fastest ever seen in the east. There was not. a Wilmington, N. C, Nov. 28. Special. One thousand people attended the ex ercises upon the occasion of the laying of the corner stone -of the new build ing for Atlantic Lodge of Odd Fellows at Southport todav.

An oration was de livered by Rev, S. Mendelsohn," of this Unable to frighten his man, or beat h:m down in the first round, and at the same time receiving punishment that showed the Denver fighter to be a for midable opponent, McGovern concluded to throw science to the winds in the second round aud simply slug his adver sary 'to defeat. In so doing, McGov.ern rushed in wide open, ready to indulge ii give and take fighting. Corbett, noth ing daunted, met him in kind. It was a slugging match of such swiftness and so much danger for either man that the crowd was simply crazy. Suddeulv Cor bett saw iin opening and, quick-as a flash, he whipped in a terrific right hand upper cut that caught McGovern square ly on the point of the jaw. It was a punch that would knock out an ordinary boxer lacking proper physique to with stand it, but in Terry's case it merely dropped him to the floor. It was a clean knock down, and Mc Govern, for the .first time in his life, was groggy. He struggled quickly to his feet after a count of seven, and steadied himself a moment by hanging on to the ropes. His brain and -sight were tem porarily clondeji and his power was for the moment gone, but the fighting in stinct was too much for the befuddled champion, and he rushed into the fray again, fighting like a hyena. He should have taken the defensive by using his feet- and clinching at every -opportunity until hia faculty and strength had re turned; but instead of that he bored in with an energy that in spite of Terry's condition was something awful. Though Corbett, cool-headed, calculating and as powerful s a lion, met Terry blow for Lblow," he was soon in trouble himself. Both were groggy in a moment, and it was anybody's fight, the question be ing who would land the first blow. Then i.vivvu, as a iasi aesperate! enance. received the decision. It was his battle swung a rearrm tensor the head, ic from start, to finish, and it could soon caugnt .lerry on the ear and made him be seen that he outclassed Jackson, al rr;' t J though he was unable to put him out.

Some persons are in clined to believe that the rumor of the death of the captives is simply a revi val of the regort in circulation here some time ago. The American representatives decline to credit the ory until they have au thentic advices. The report has caused considerable excitement here where the negotiations for the ransom of the American woman have been watched with the closest interest.
