Danfel Conboy died at the City and County Hospital yesterday from injuries received June 8, while attempting to stop a runaway horse on the corner of Stockton and Washing- ton streets. Conboy was 52 yearsold and a brother of Sergeant Conboy, for & long time in charge of the California-street station, CNIC SOCIETY WONT INTERFERE | It Decides That Corbett and Sharkey May Give an Exhibition. lCOMMITTEE TO ATTEND. Sharkey Says If He Hits Cor- bett the Champion Will Go Down Before Him. HE WILL PUT UP MONEY. Corbett Working Harder at the Olym- pic—Sharkey Walked Eighteen % Miles. “If I hit Corbett he’ll go down just the same as the rest of them.”” Thomas Sharkey said this yesterday af- ternoon. He had just emerged from the in the ring he said: “The red, white and blue, and green frunks,” He took the usual exercise yesterday, punching the bng,;lnying hnnd’imll, skip- ping the rope and tossing the medicine. ball. There will not be any sparring till next week, when Needham intends to vary the training in several respects. 1t is a safe proposition also thrat if Glad- iator Jim ever lands squarely on Sharkey with that battering-ram right or that hard and elusive left of his it will be all over with the sailor lad right then and there. The arm that laid Bullivan low and caused him to wake np some seconds later with the query, “Did that young | feller lick me?” can do the same thing for | the brawny Sharkey. It does not require a sledge-hammer | blow in the prize ring to put the best man out, provided it is landed in the right place, and there is something of a possibil- ity that Sharkey might touci the spot on California’s pride. When memory turns backwara and locates itself for the mo- ment at Jacksonville, Fla., and on Charley Mitchell, who stood up before the cham- pion only three rounds, the idea will come to the front that he is likely to do to the i pride of the American navy the same thing | that he did to the English champion, who | thought he would be in it for a much | longer time. But what a jury will do is | not more uncertein than what is likely to happen on a resin floor inside the ropes. The invincible Dempsey in his prime went down before a chance blow by La Blanche | the Marine after a long list of victories were hanging to his belt. Summing the probabilities up in a sen- tence the man who lands first good and hard in the right spot will win the contest |a week from next Wednesday night. Sharkey will go into the ring with gritted | teeth and well keyed up to the oppor- | tunity, and he savs that Corbett must look sharp. To this the champion laconi- cally replies, *““Well, if he says so I guess it must be s0.” And then the champion smiled a broad, easy, good-natured, but a significant smile, and let it go at that. Corbett took his usual turns with the on for four rounds, and he will give to the public an exhibition of skill and training, not & slogging match. The entertainment will be conducted strictly within the pale of the law, under the supervision of the Chief of Police. The directors of the club are all gentlemen of standing in the business community, and would not for a moment countenance a viola- tion of the law. Mayor Sutro and acting Mayor Tailor can bear us out in the c.aim that our exhibitions are conducted witn the utmost regard for the law. Furthermore, we always contribute a reasonable sum to charity. From four of our exhibitions we have given to the Childrens’ Hospital $1833 83, and we have aereed on this occasion to donate the sum of 250 to the Little Sisters’ Infant Shelter, Trusting that you and the entire Federation will take the view that we merely propose to give an exhibition, not & prizefight, Iam very respectfully, & . J. GROOM, Manager National Athletic Club. P. 8.—I would be pleased if it meets your ap- probation, that you appeint & committee to attend our exhibition,and judge for yourself s to the character of the same, J. J. GROOM, 942 Market street. After considerable discussion it was decided that the Federation should take the directors of the club at their word, and rely on them keeping the contest within the law. Rev. Thomas Filben, who had spoken in favor of pre- venting the contest if possible by law, then introduced the following resolution: WHEREAS, It has come to the notice of tne Civic Federation that a so-called boxing bout between professionals is about to be held in this City; and whereas, we fear that this exhi- binon is but the entering-wedge for introduc- ing again in this City & Teign of slogging matches under a false guise, such as disgraced this City a few years ago, demoralizing our youth and resulting in the permanent injury of many persons aud the death of one, Resolved, That we deplore this exhibition be- cause it is likely to have pernicious effects; that we call for such amendments to the law as will prevent exhibitions of this sort between rofessionals; that while we believe the acting gla)'nr has scted entirely within the bounds of the discretion given him by the law in grant- ing the permit, we request the Chief of Polica to see to it carefully that the law is not vio- lated by these parties, and that our committee be requested to call on Chief Crowley to that end; that acommittee of this federation be ap- pointed to attend the exhibition and see to it Thomas Sharkey Is Training in the City of Churches.

Why, the shortest fight I ever had was ith a big tall fellow. That’s Dunn at Vallejo. It was over 1n 27 seconds; he was s then.” ‘!What are you going to look out for in particular in your fight with Corbett?”’ ““Well, in particular 1 am eoing to look out for Sharkey,” was the reply. “I’lllook out for everything. You can’t tell what’s going to havpen. Of course, I’ll look out for my ja While the sailor lad lay naked on a couch face downward undergoing & rub- down with alcohol and camphor to toughen and invigorate the skin, his arms were bent and his face rested on' his hands. It gave the admiring spectators an exceptional chance to note the big shoulders and the ropes of muscle that extend to the biceps. The prominence of the muscles and breadth of the should- s are something to marvel at. There is strength enough there to fell an ox with | one blow of the heavy fist that wiil try to finda solid landing on the world’s cham- pion. As he lay perfectly quiet Shark d- denly raised his hendqund cul!ede}t,os:he reporters. He had been callea a marine in one of the newspapers and he didn’t likeit. “Don’t call me a marine,” he said. “Tuat’s wrong. I'm no marine, A marine isa wooden man.” Aboard a naval vessel the marines are the ten who do the parading on such holidays ashore as Decoration day and the Fourth of July. They are sea soldiers trained for duty in the navy and are not seamen in any sense of the word. They are usually the batt for the jokes of the sailors aboard a naval vessel, owing o their supposed ignorance of all things marine. Hence the familiar expression, “Go tell that to the marines.” This is why Sharkey does not like to be called a marine. He is a trained seaman of long GXPQHEHCO. Sharkey took an 18-mi morning *‘over the hills and far awa: Al back of Onkland, He started out w)i,th McGrath about 8 o'clock and got back about noon. He said yesterday that he was getting into ship-shape and was feel- ing as though he would be able to make the battle of his life with the champion. _Bharkey is going to back himself on the side with his own money in the coming contest. He said so yesterday. He is re- ported to have a $5000 sack tucked away in a savings bank, but when asked if he was going to put itall up he declined to say how much he would wager. He was reticent about discussing the subject, but it is understood he will take even money that he is on his feet at the end of the four rounds. 8o if anybody is looking for any of Sharkey's coin they can find him and Needham at the Acme Athletic Club in Oakland every afternoon till the 24th inst. When asked what colors he would wear le walk yesterday “That don’t ! It I Athletic Club yesterday afternoon, and [ the usual limited number of spectators { looked on with “interest. His chief exer- | cise was handball. | joined in this. Corbett thinks there is no game as good as handball. Atuany rate he has not found an athletic exercise more to his liking. Besides pulling the neck of George Green and making bim wheeze for wind the { champion also sparred with “Young Cor- bett” a moderate number of rounds. He had plenty of this kind of exercise yester- day, for Billy Delaney also put on the pil- lows with him. Corbett receives blows in a friendly bout, and some pretty stiff ones too, that would never touch him if he was in earnest. But even in his friendly spar- ring matches the wonderful activity of the big fellow causes people to admire him. He is beyond compare the shiftiest heavy- weight that ever danced on a resined floor. Sharkey is said to be quick for one of his weight and build, but Corbett is much quicker. When they got tired sparring Corbett had his neck pulled by the other feilows in order to strengthen its muscles, and they also shoved one another around over the floor by the hands and shoulders in the fencing-room. Corbett is slowly increasing the degree and intensity of his training. S e WON'T STOP THE MILL. Civic Federation so Decides If It Keeps Within the Law. The Civic Federation will not interfere with the Corbett-Sharkey contest—that is, they will make no effort to stop the mill if it develops into nothing more than a sci- entific exhibition of skill and training, such as Manager Groom of the National Athletic Club yesterday assured them it would be. With this assurance the federation felt it shonld be satisfied for the present, rely- ing on the promoters of the affair as men of honor to stand by their words. Never- theless they though it proper to warn the Chief of Police to wateh carefully for any infringement of the law. 1t was decided to send a committee of their own to see that the nice distinction between = contest of skill and a prizefight is maintained. There was just an even dozen of the federation’s members present at the meet- ing, which was held in the assembly-room of the Mills building yesterday afterncon. They were: L J. Truman,” president; James L. Case, secretary; Stewart Men- zies, D. Giibert Dexter, George T. Gaden, Rey. J. Cumming Smith, Rev. Thomas Filben, A. G. Towne, Wallace Bradford, Charles Wesley Reed, Rev. H. N. Bevier and C. B. Perkins. The meeting was ex- ecutive. = The coming boxing contest was the principal matter discussed and thé meet- ing was one of the most interesting held for some time. A number of the mem- bers spoke earnestly in favor of taking steps _to prevent the contest. It was re- ported, however, thet the law in regard to the matter had been submitted to six at- torneys and they could see no-possible way of preventing such an exhibition as was proposed. The following letter was re- ceived from Manager Groom: I. J. Truman, Esq., President of Civie Federa- tion—DEAR SIR: Permitme, representis National Athletic Club, 10 prosest & prist statement to your meeting set for 3 p. m. to- day, Mr. Corbett has consented merely to go Members of the club | sweat-raising apparatus at the Olympic | that the o ‘rmmisel made in this case be not vi lated and the law be not overridden. Resolved, That if a felony is committed in this instance we pledge the Civic Federation to fol- low up the prosecution of all guilty parties, The resolution passed unanimously and C. B. Perkins, Charles Wesley Reed, George 1. Gaden, A. G. Towne and James L. Case were appointed to attend the exhi- bition. On invitation of the Merchants’ Associ- ation a committee consisting of I. J. Tru- man and Charles Wesley Reed was ap- pointed to attend the convention to be held in the interests of the new charter. A M A HERO IN OAKLAND. Sharkey Is Followed by Admiring Crowds Wherever He May Choose to Go. OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO Cavrr,) 908 Broadway, June 12, '§ Oakland at present harbors a hero. Whenever he appearson the street acrowd follows him and when he enters a barber- shop policemen have to keep clear the sidewalk. This hero isa man of muscle and his condescension in paying Oakland a short visit for professional purposes is greatly appreciated by the sports and small boys, They have deciared him their idol and he is welcome to the best that they can give him. It is true that sports and small boys do not thrive within the territory governed by the city ordinances, but the coming of the hero seems to have given birth to a new class. They seem to have come from nowhere and the average staid Qaklander passes by on the other side when he sees them. Oakland is not used to gazing upon men who wear the fore part of their hats on their noses; who wear check pants tight from the knee down, and who say “'See?” and talk about such illegal things as bets and prize-fights. Neither is it accustomed to see small boys carrying on all manner ‘of impromptu prize-fights to the unmiti- ated delight of crowds of other small oys. But these uunFs are here now, and they have come with Sharkey—Thomas Sharkey of the United States navy, who is now training at the Acme Club. If there is a big crowd anywhere in town, Sharkey is the causeof it; if outside a saloon, Sharkey is drinking lemonade; if outside the Acme Club, Sharkey may be expected to appear within a couple of hours after punching the bag and wrest- ling with his trainer—and two hours are nothing to the crowd that now “‘occupies’ the city if a positive view of Mr, Sharkey be the reward. The interest in_the man who will ex- change blows with Mr. Corbett is not however confined to sports or small boys. To the un-%rlu of the residents of this city Mr. Sharkey is an object of interest to women also, and whenever there is a crowd around the sailor boy part of it is always composed of natty summer cos- tumes the wearers of which are shaded by parasols. Mr. Sbarkey is not unmindful of the in- terest he is creating. In fact he rather enjoysit. A sailor's life is a thankless existence and an honest son of the briny is almost as much a stranger to society as an exile. When atteniion is shown it is so unusual that it is invariably pleasant after the marine bashfulness has worn off and Snarkey, although very gentlemanly, has long ceased to be bashful. The Acme Club has not been so popular with its own members for months as it has been since Mr. Sharkey went there to put imaginary Corbetts to sleep and prepare himself for evading the spirit of the law of California and of morality. Should Sharkey win, the Acrae Club will be able to get out of debt instanter. The bags that Sharkey punched; the razors he was suaved with, the copies of the paper that he folded with the hands that floored Corbett, the sponge his trainer is using, the planks of the floor on which he trained and_ indeed a series of things as long and having as much connection with the fight as the rat to the marriage in “The house that Jack built,”” all these would be sold in Oakland on the night of Sharkey’s suc- cess at prices that would enable the Acme to lease the Reliance building as an annex 0 their own clubrooms. These statements are not exaggerated. ;X‘he,v make a correct story of life in Qak- and. : ALONG THE WATER FRONT First Sugar Cargo From Tope- lobampo Arrives cn the Coos Bay. H. S. Scott, a Relative of President Colnon, to Be Made Assistant Chief Wharfinger. The Cocs Bay, which arrived from Mexican ports yesterday, will not run.on that route again for some time to come. Trade has fallen off and Goodall, Perkins and Co. have come to the couclusion that there is no necessity for two boats on the run. On the way up the Coos Bay stopped at Topolabampo and brought up 450 tons of sugar, The Aguila Sugar Refinery i8 now in full blast, and this is the first consign- ment it has turned out this year. The raw sugar is of zood quality and compares favorably with the Hawaiian article. Cap- tain Jansen cf the steamer reports that there is a fine harbor there, but that the place is a barren desert. Water has to be brought from the ocean ten milesgaway. Strange to say within ten feet of salt water a hole can be dug and pure fresh water bubbles up. “Out of all the American families who went to the much-advertised Topolobampo only three remain,’” said Captain Jansen yesterday. ‘“‘Oneisa Mrs. Patrick and her 13-year-old daughter, and they only remain because they cannot raise enough money to come back to America. They went from Vermont, and the husband was a hard- working man. While on a trip inland one night he fell asleep in his wagon and some of the peons cut his throat and stole the horse and everything in the vebicle. One of them was arrested and hanged, but that did not help the widow. Mrs. Patrick and her daughter are sometimes without food, and yet they have plenty of furniture and thines that would bring good pricesin San Francisco. Her husband was a Mason, and some of his old comrades should do something toward releasing her from her penal servitude. “When the colonists first settled at Topolobampo everything went well. A young graduate from Vassar started the Topofobum 0 News, and it paid its way for a time. Then everybody began to leave the place, and finally the young adven- turess was brought to sore straits. She could not raise money on her piant, and | finally she married W. Duncan, the man who edited her paper and set up the type. They are now keeping the only store in the vicinity, and make a good living by selling mescal and cigarettes to the In- dians. Everybody lives on beans and tor- tillas down there, and the Americans in the interior assured me that they had not seen butter for ten years. While the Coos Bay was loading I rode ten_miles inland, and for the entire distance I saw nothing but rock and sand. Finally I reached a Mexican ranch, and that was the onlg place within thirty miles where fres! water could be found. “The sugar came down the river from Aguila in boats, but the peons who loaded it into the Coos Bay marched the thirty miles to the landing in six hours. They had a meal of tortillas on starting and an- other on their arrival. As soon as the steamer was loaded they had another corn- cake and started on the tramp or run back. Itis hotenough there to roast the skin off a man, but it did noteven muke the Indians sweat. The sugl:r industry may revive Topolobampo, but at the present timeit is a God-forsaken country.” Billy Moe, the boatman, started for Santa’ Cruz in a steamlaunch, with bhis whiteball in tow, a few days ago. His in- tention was to carry passengers to and from the Philadelphia and Monadnock, and also act as bumboatman. During the night the launch ran on Pigeon Point and the whitehall stove in. Billy is now tramp- ing it back to San Francisco. Four of the Sharpshooter’s crew deserted Thureday and stole one of the vessel’s boats. They filled the boat up with sand and sank it under Selby’s old smelting works. 1t was recovered to-day, but no sign of the men can be found. The men from the Philadelphia had an- other drill on Lombard-street wharf yes- terday preparatory to the exhibition drill in Golden Gate Park to-day. The schooner Lizzie Vance will get new masts in at Eureke, and then load lumber for Sydney, N. 8. W. The Pacific Mail Company’s Acapulco arrived from Panama and wayports yes- terday. The storm that prevailed last Wednesaay night kept her back six hours. The following cabin passengers came on her: Miss Maggie W. Kenna, Mrs. J. A. Joyce, D. Ames, Francisco V.

Althongh they have all com- bined still they are afraid of some one member breaking away and starting a rate war. At the present time there are three schooners in Mission Bay awaiting a chance to discharge, and there are twelve more on tue way. In consequence the freight rate has dropped from $350 per 1000 feet to $2 75, and the tendency is still aownward. Edward Short, wharfinger at Mission- street wharf, who has been for the past six months acting as assistant chief wharfin- er, is to return to his old post on July 1. . 8. Scott, a relative of President Colnon of the State Board of Harbor Commission- ers, and collector at section 2 of the sea- wall, will probably be appointed to the vacant position. o NEW TO-DAY.

MAJOR-GENERAL BIRNEY Uses Paine’s Celery Compound in His Family, and Stiongly Recommends I Major-General Birney, who is now, at the age of 75, practicing law and doing de- partmental work in Washington, the un- flinching commander, at the battle of Fredericksburg, of the famous 38th New York Regiment, in a letter to Wells & Richardson Company, say: My wife has been taking the Paine's celery compound for some time pastand is so much pleased with it that she wishes me to express to you her high opinion of its merits. She thinks it 1s the best remedy she has ever tried.”” General Birney’s hearty acknowledg- ment of the greatand lasting good that his family has received from Paine’s celery compound is repeated, in substance, in countless testimonials, written in the same grateful spirit and sent from every partof the country. Don’t sit with folded arms and do noth- ing toward getting rid of poor health. Drive out all impurities from your blood ; build up the vigor of the body with Paine's celery compound—the one remedy that bas kept all its promises in the past. The tired nerves and brain need just the sort of nourishment that this great invigo- rator is able to supply.
