THE 'RAN‘ FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 30. 1896 SLINKY BOB" MAY MEET CHOVNSKL The National Club Offers a $10,000 Purse for Such a Contest. MITCHELL ALSO BIDDING George Green Angry at His Treatment by the Na- tional Club. STELZNER - PEPPERS CONTEST, Joe McAuliffe Is Now Willing to Meet Any Aluminum Weight in America. As an aftermath of the series of con- tests Friday night at Woodward’s Pavilion the air 1s full of fight talk. All sorts of things are under discussion, but the main matter of interest is the prospects of a bout between Choynski and *“‘Lanky Bob” Fitzsimmons. J. J. Groom, representing the National Club, to-day approached Choynski and offered a $10,000 purse for a fight between him and Fitzsimmons. Choynski states Ahat he is perfectly willing—nay, eager— to meet Fitz, but that the Natioual Club has no permit for such a contest and might experience considerable difficulty in procuring it. I referred Groom to Greany,” he said, “who is looking out after my interests. Saturday I shall leave for the East and will box a limited number of rounds with Reddy Gallagher in Denver September 8. On the 9th of September I will box*four rounds with Billy Woods at Cripple Creek. 1 hope the high altitude will be kinder to me than to my friend, Jim Corbett.” Choynski here stopped to laugh at his sally, and added that from Cripple Creek he will go to New York, where he will be willing to meet all comers. Choynski was so anxious to lay his hands on the coin resulting from his vic- tory over McAuliffe that he kept one of the directors up till 3 A. M. yeslerday counting tickets and money. Shortly sfter 3 o’clock the man of the chrysanthe- mum locks took his coin in a satchel and departed in peace. McAuliffe did not show up to-day, but got his coin through Barney Farley and another representative. It is now definitely learned that the exact audience at the fight was 3300, of which 3500 was paid attendance. Instead of the men receiving 60 and 10 per cent of the gross receipts, as heretofore published, the money was by mutual agreemert divided evenly. This has been known all | along by a few. McAuliffe at first wanted it divided in the ratio of 50 and 10, and when Choynski objected to this and wanted it divided evenly, McAuliffe tried o compromise on 35 per cent to the win- ner and 25 to the loser. Choynski, how- ever, heid out for an even division, and McAuiiffe at length acquiesced. The aggregate amount received by the men was $2969 40. Each received haif. If Choynski haa acquiescnd in his oppo- nent’s first proposition he would have re- ceived abont $2400 of this. The hght between Peppers and Stelzner will not take place at Woodward's Pavilion owing to the fact that the Grove-street Theater people refuse to release the Na- tional Club from its bond of rental. The contest will take place at the Grove- street Theater September 2. The National Club, however, is havin firm opposition from the new Occidenta v Club in securing the match between Choynszi and Fitzsimmons. *‘Young Mitchell” has been actively negotiating for some time in this matter, ana states that a letter should arrive Monday with definite results, as he has received a tele- gram that such epistle is on its way here now. Colonel Hopkins, Dan Creedon’s man- ager. has left the whole matter of a match in Mitchell’s hands. The latter states that he 1s confident Alex Greggains will consent to meet Creedon. George Green is complaining bitterly of the treatment he received at the hands of the National Club. He says he was as- sured Gallagher would be here to meet him September 2, and has steadily kept at his work of training for the event. Kfi.ar the club learned that Gallagher would not appear, Green thinks they should have found him an opponent instead of substi- tuting a fight between Stelzner and Pep- pers. O'FARRELL’S BUSINESS, It Is Being Divided Up Among the Other Real Estate Agents. A meeting of the creditors of O’Farrell & Co. has been called for to-morrow at 10 o’clock.at which time it is stated that a proposition will be submitted to purchase the business of the late firm. Inviewof the fact that Baldwin & Hammond have announced that they are pre- pared to make satisfactory settlements with all for whom rents have been collected and not paid over by O’'Farrell & Co., it is not probable that any agreement will be reached at the meeting. A. S, Baldwin, in speaking of the matter yesterday, said: ‘“We ars prepared to meke satistactory propositions to all parties whose business is worth handling. I am not prepared to say that we would purchase all of the accounts, for the reason that much of the business has been handled for less than any responsible firm can afford to do it. Such of the business, however. as is profitable we desire to obtain, and I know that we can make & satisfactory proposition to the individuals separately, aithough I have no intention of submitting an offer for the business collec- tively. A number of the accounts have been transferred to other houses, and our firm has already been the recipient of its proportion of the business.” . . Sued for Breach of Contract. . G.G. Wickson, a Front-street dealer in farm ing implements and machinery, has sued the Monarch Cycle Company for $5000 damages for breech of contract and foran accounting of & commission business. Eight months ago the c(cle company rented a portion of the store of Wickson and agreed to pay $200 & month rent to there conduct its agency. A commission of 10 per cent on all sales was also to have been paid Wickson. On Friday last the Monarch company moved from the Front-street store, so Wickson wants damages for breach of contract and an accounting of sll sales made that he may re- ceive his commission. To-Day. The mass-meeting of young men, only, at the Christian Association building, Mason and Ellis streets, to-day will be aadressed by Rev. William Rader, pastor of the Third Con- gregational Churcn.

Preparations are making for speeding the California-street cable. The probability is that this will lead to a reduction in the number of cars on the line. This is said to be the fact, butvery few cars will be taken off, At the power-nouse it was said last night thatnot over twe cars will be dropped. No date has been fixed for the change. —_————— FALL millinery and up-to-d E. Keith’s opening Tuesday. idess. Alma | was a good v B (5} San Francisco. We feel for them. OF RECEKLESS SELLING.

CURRYS FUNERAL Honors Paid to the Memory of a Good Citizen and a Faithful O!ficer. Dr. Dile and W. H Barnes Speak Kindly of His Many Virtues. Rev. The funeral of Charles H. M. Curry, father of County Clerk C. F. Curry and late grand reporter of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Honor of the State of California, was held at Central M. E. Church, on Mission street, yesterday afternoon. The popularity of the deceased among the brethren of the Knights of Honor, as also the Ancient Order of United Work- men, together with that of hisson, C. F. Curry, the present County Clerk of this City, brought hundreds of mourners to the church, all of whom came to pay their last respects to him who had left them, as also to sympathize with the members of his family in their grief. Every seatin the body of the church and galleries was occupied. As many deputy clerks, not only from the County Clerk’s office, but from other co-ordinate branches of the municipality as could be spared from official duty were there. Sheriff Whelan, with a large rep- resentation from his office, occupied seats immediately in the rear of the mourners. Large delegations from Keystone Lodge, Knights of Honor, under the call of Charles H. Holcomb, dictator; members of the Grand Lodge of the same order, un- der the call of P. L. Archibald, grand dic- tator, and from Yerba Buena Lodge of the A. 0. U. W., under the call of John W. Rede, master workman, together with others were present. The entire space within the railing in front of the pulpit was taken up with the choicest collection of flowers to be had in the City, skillfully worked into designs representative of the office held by the deceased. An open book;with the word “Records’’ in pansies across one side rep- resented the duties of the reporter. A vacant chair, a large harp, a vase, a star, a broken wheel and other designs too numerous to mention were there, forming one of the -grandest collections Embably ever seen at a funeral in this ity. The funeral cortege was met at the church door by the Rev. Dr. Dille, who, with the pall-bearers, J. F. Adam, W. Venton, H. Schneffer, J. Wegmore, R. A. Sumers, D. C. Martin, R. H. Warfield, George W. Lamont, N. E. Maison, H. K. McLeanon, E. F. Joy and F. W. Zephus, proceeded up the center aisle to the front of the pulpit, where the casket was placed on a catafaique. - An appropriate hymn was sung by the Masonic male quartet, under the direction of Samuel E. Mayer, after which Dr. Dille paid a high tribute to the- sterling quali- ties of the decedsed asa man and a Chris-' tian. He was described as one who had been & constant attendant of that church for the past twenty-three years, having becn superintendent of the SBabbath-school for a number of years. =In concluding his remarks, he said: “‘His sons may well feel proud of their father and the history he left behind him. Not one line would they if they could biot out of his whole life, and he hoped that they would lead a life as good and leave as good a record behind them as he had done, so that when there was a family reunion on the golden shores of eternity there would be no reproaches there as ln'e&ehwe‘re l;;mathehre.d ‘The family of the deceased wasa ha; and a good family, because the. head c&pi't true man.” arnes, a prominent officer of the Charles H. M. Curry, Father of the County Clerk, and a Prominent Member of Many Fraternal Orders, Who Died Tuesday Might. society of which the deceased was tha re- porter, spoke feelingly of the great big heart that through life beat within tl.e breast of him whose memory will live as long as the pages of the society of which he was a true and trusted officer. ‘Words of praise were all that the speaker could add to the career of the late reporter, who bad done so much through life for the comfort and happiness of others. After the services in the church the friends and relatives passed round the casket, taking the last, long look at the genial face oi him who in life had a pleas- ant word and a warm_shake of the hand for all who approached him. The services of the orders to which he belonged were held at Laurel Hill Ceme- tery, where the interment will take place. — e — Judge Belcher’s Sentences. Judge Belcher ordered that B. Strassman, ‘who for two years has been confined in the County Jail awaiting trial on a charge of per- jury, be released. Strassman’s brother, Leo, was tried on the same charge, namely, of hav- ing sworn falsely in procuring a straw bond on which rehrenbach, the half-interest swindler, who recently committed suicide in Kansas City, was rels At the trial of Leo Strassman he was con- victed, but the Supreme Court recently grant- ed him a new trial. Judge Belcher therefore ordered that B. Strassman be released. Robert Phillips was sent to San Quentin for five years for burglary and George Savanello, & 14-year-old boy, convicted of assaulting a schoolgirl, was sentenced to three years at the Whittier Reform School. There are about 1520 theaters in Europe, Italy possessing more than any other country. ————— ONE million will resd “Mechanics' Fair aily.” Advertise now. Mysell Rollins,22 Clay, * MA. VINING'S OLD ROPE How He Splices the Broken Cliff, Park and Ferries Cable. And the Cars on Cay and Sacra. mento Streets Wait for Him to Finish. The Market-street Railroad Company is having troublous times with the cable of the CIiff, Park and Ferries line. .o often are the cars standing still on Clay and Sa_cumento streets that the public is thinking of utilizing ‘them for waiting rooms. The dummy or outside position yuuld be quite handy for men while the interior of the closed car could be reserved for ladies and children, especially for these in rainy weather. However, it is barely possible that Mr. Vining_would object. r. Vining objects to posing. as a philanthropist before the people, which sometimes says naugnty things to him in the public press. The superintendent of the Market-street Rail- road is a very patient person, and is driven to live undef considerable adverse criticism, all of which he bears with be- coming fortitude. Another drawback to the plan is, what would the people be a-waiting for seated in Mr. Vining's cars? Neither Sacramento nor Jackson street is & place for the re sort of idle folks, and if a busy vublic can- not be hauled anywhere by a cable that is constantly undergoing repairs there is no likelinood that they would wait in a stationary coach for their business to be hauled to them. So the Market-street Railroad Company picks up the broken strands of the CIiff, Park and Ferries rope and lets the public do its waiting on the sidewalk. Every day and often twice a day that line 1s stopped. It is no unusual thing to see cars standing “‘dead’ on Clay and Sacra- mento streets for hours. Early last Toursday evening the cable broke down, and the entire system had a night off. Where the grade would permit several cars were run down together and all the employes would go home excent one gripman, who curled himself upina closed coach and enjoyed a sleep while acting as watchman. Not only is the public inconvenienced by a worn-out cable that parts from sheer old age, but the company never gives a nickel back when the car stops. The senger may sit there a while and then hunt up another road. There is a distinct element of danger about this matter of persisting in the use of a worn-out rope. Much of the road runs up and down steep grades, and should a brcken strand be- come mixed up with a grip while de- scending a hill nothing would prevent that uncontrollable car from crashing into a vehicle, a crowd or another car, wrecking itself and injuring life. A gripman and a conductor, under promise that their names snhould not be published, gave a CALL reporter some in- teresting data regarding the frequent breakdowns on Clay- and Sacramento streets. “The fact is,”” said those employes, ‘‘the rope is gone in and cannot hold together. ‘When we are on our cars we are expecting a stop every minute, if not an accident. Sometimes the cable parts and again only a strand breaks. Now let one of those strands get enunglsd around a grip and who can bhandle that car, especially on a hill? And wien the mf’ snaps wholly in two on a steep place, all the cars coming down or ‘going up that hill are liable to get away from the gripman. “That cable should have been retired long_ago, but for some reason or other— possibly the company is too poor to buy a new one—they keep patching it. Iunder- stand that the road does not pay and the managers will keep the old rope gomg it the public wont patronize the line.” At 8 o'clock last evening the cable was ;tapned for the third time in twenty-four ours. BRI SUES THE COMPANY. Litigation Over the Deposit of a Con- ductor Who Committed Suicide. Dewey Coffin began suit in the Justices’ Court yesterday against the Market-street Railroad Compln; to recover $25, a de- ‘posit left by O. T. Bernhard, the con- ductor who recently committed suicide because of domestic troubles. Bernhard left the deposit with the com- pany when engaged to indemnity the cor- ration against loss. ust before he ilted himself he gave Coffin an order for the money, which was presented after his death. The company refused to honor the demand, hence the suit. - Died in His Shop. Rudolph Mullen, 505 Lyon street, a shoe- maker by occupation, was found dead in his shop yesterday. The man has been missing since Monday, but no one seemed to think it necessary to examine his place of business. The body was found lying on the shop floor face downward, deaih from natural causes having evidently occurred several days ago. The decessed was not married, but leaves a sister and a brother to share & small fortune left by the deceased. ¥ ————————— The Afro-American League. President T.

Cornwall was ex- amined as to her relations with the de- ceased, it beng claimed by a brother of the engineer that she was not his wife and has no right to his name. During the examination the fact was developed that although the couple lived together as man and wife for nineteen years, the paper which the wife claimed to be her marriage contract was years ago destroyed by the husband. It also came to light that at the time the contract was made, Mrs. Corn- wall had another husband living. She claimed, however, to have been divorced pefore the contract with Cornwall was signed. A document drawn up ‘by Cornwall in which he and Felicia B. Cornwall for- mally agreed to a legal separation was introduced, as was a deed in which he acknowledged her as his wife.
