STEVE 0'DONNELL DEFEATS SLAVIN The Sponge Is Thrown Up During the Fifth Round. SPORTS HEAVY LOSERS. A Hot Battle at First, but the Australian Was Out of Condition. RESULT OF A RECENT MISHAP His S ugging Powers and Gameness of No Avail Against Steve’s Cleverness. MASPETH, L. I, Sept. 2L — Steve O'Donnell fought Frank Slavin to a standstill i the fifth round at the Em- pire Athletic Club to-pight, and the lat- ter’s seconds, seeing their man was all bat out, threw ap the sponge after the round had been on one minuteand thirty-five seconds. Slavin fought badly all the way through and the bell only saved him in the fourth round. Afier the fight Slavin addressed the crowd as they were filing out. He said: “I'm licked to-night, gentlemen; but I think the man that has been behind O'Donnell will give me another chance when I am in better condition. Ihave been hurt ever since Thursday and only came here so as not to disappoint the public and my backer.” As long as O'Donnell mixed it up Slavin was the stronger at the short range, but when Steve stood off it was all up with Slavin. About 1000 sports made the journey to see the event; which was to have beena twenty-round contest. The crowd had scarcely been seated when a rumor was started to the effect that Slavin had hurt his arm, shoulder and back by a tall last Thursday and that he was in no condition to fight, It was stated that he had only come over to make an appearance and had done no work since the alleged accident. The betting was all in favor of Slavin and the majority of the sports seemed to think thatthe “‘accident’’ was a well-laid scheme to induce the 0’Donnell contingent to put up their money. As good as 6 to 4 could be had against Steve’s chances, as Slavin’s supporters calculated that his slugging powers and gameness would prove too much for O'Donnell’s cleverness. FITZ RELEASED ON BAIL Lanky Bob Must Answer the Charge of Arranging a Prize-Fight, Pompadour Jim Manages to E'ude the Officer With a Warrant for His Arrest. NEW YORK, N. Y., Bept. 21.—Bob Fitzsimmons was arrested at Barthoidi Hotel at 1:30 p. M. to-day by Detective BSergeant McNaught, who brought him to police headquarters. The arrest was made on a warrant charging Fitzsimmons with misdemeanor in arranging in this city for a prize-fignt. So far as known Corbett, for whom the detectives bave a warrant, has not yet | been arrested. Fitzsimmons was arraigned in the Gen- eral fescions Court this morning before Judge Fitzgerald. The courtroom was crowded. Fitzsimmons leaned on the railing in front of the Judge’s desk and looked straight at the Judge. He carried a silk hat in his hana and wore a Prince Albert coat. His mznager, Martin Julian, stood beside him, but he had no counsel. The indictment was read and Fitzsimmons was asked if he wished to piead. Aftera whispered conversation with Julian he pleaded “‘not guilty.” The Judge then held him in $1000 bail, and as no bonds- man was ready the Judge added: *“Com- mitted until bail is furnished.” Fitzsimmons turned pale as the idea of a prison cell struck him, but he was not taken to a cell. He was taken up to the detectives’ office in the General Sessions building to await until some one couid be found to go bail for him. Fitzsimmons finally secured bail and was released. The District Attorney said there were two counts to the indictments. He further said tnat the case of Fitzsimmons and Corbett, who had been jointly indicted, was the first arrest made since the law was amended. The indictments against the two pugilists were found by the Grand Jury a week ago to-day. ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Bapg. 21.—Coach Cross had the men out this evening, and from the vim and spirit which the players put into their work it is pretty certain that his arrival has aiready had its effect. The men go at the game with more dash, and, while tneir playing is full of fumbles and is very ragged at present, Cross says that before the game on the 10th of October, with the same amount of energy, he will have a winning team in the field. Just now he is drilling the men on quick starting and accuracy in falling on the ball. For, as he says, *‘there is lots of chance to save and to make ground if all the players are speedy at falling on a fumbled ball.” The linemen, too, are receiving a great deal of attention, and it is evidently Cross’ idea to make the Stanford line so strong that Berkeley will be unable o move it down the fie{d in the second half of the game as she has done in some former games. Professor Angell, who takes great inter- est in the students’ athletics here and has identified himself with their interests here as much as any other member of the fac- ulty, is convinced that Stanford’a chief weakness in the past has been the over- training of the men. To thishe attributes the fact thac Stanford always shows up best in the first half of the game and Berkeley in the second half. Cross is also of this opinion from what Walter Camp has told him and the descriptions he has read of the contests. This he intends to avoid by giving the men less work than heretofore, but devoting more time to sig- nal work and developing the endurance of the men by running and other like exer- cises. Of the backs, Cross is well satisfied with the material with which he has to work |and expects to develop some first-class players from among the number of aspir- ants for Varsity honors. A Stanford vs. Berkeley. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Sept. 21.—It has already been decided to bola the intercollegiate freshman football con- test with Berkeley on November 14, twelve days previous to the big game on Thanks- giving. Both events will come off at Cen- tral Park, AN AWKWARD MISTAKE. A Washington Official Is Twice Arrested in Switzerland as a Criminal From Montevideo. BERNE, Switzerraxp, Sept. 2L.—An awkward mistake on the part of the Swiss | detectives has caused great annoyance to George F. Curtiss of Washington, an as- sistant librarian of the American Con- gress. ‘When Mr. Curtis arrived at Grindelwald he was pounced upon by detectives, who i mistook him for a criminal from Monte- video, for whom they were searching. Mr. Curtiss was locked up despite his energetic protests, but later the produc- tion of his passport and other documents convinced the police that they had made an error. He was toerefore released and profuse apologies were made to him for the unfor- tunate mistake. Mr. Curtiss then pro- ceeded to Geneva, where the police made the same mistake as to his identity and he was again locked up. It was impossible for him to convince the authorities of Geneva that he was not a criminal, and finally he was compelied to telegraph to Hon, John L. Peak, the American Minister at Berne, telling him of his predicament.’ Mr. Peck at once laid the matter before the Govern- ment with the result that the release of Mr. Curtiss was immediately ordered. s T ITYNAN APPE:LS FOR AID. Asks for Protection as a Citizen of the United States. PARIS, Fraxce, Sept. 2L—The fact that Patrick J. Tynan, the alleged dynamite conspirator, who was arrested | at Boulogne-Sur-Mer, has applied to Mr, Eustis, the American Embassador to { France, and to President Cleveland, de- manding protection as an American citi- zen, was announced in the dispatches of tie United Associated Presses on Tuesday last, but at that time the contents of his letter to Mr. Eustis were not known. It is now learned that in his letter Tynan informs him_of the fact of his arrival in the United States in March, 1883, and his naturalization ]in 1888. He gives his place of residence in New York, enumerates the members of his family and refers to Judge Fitzgerald, Recorder Goff and Judge Roger A. Pryor as his friends. e adds that he left New York with the object of making a Enrogenn tour, but learning he was being shadowed by Eng- lish detectives he traveled under an as- sumed name. In the course of his travels | he went to Italy, Belgium and France. It was his intention to returnto New York on September 20. Tynan pledges his honor that he has nottaken part in any political affair in France, and that he has done nothing beyond the ordinary sight-seeing of a tourist. —_—— PENSION BUREAU REPORT, Over Forty Thousand Names Added to the Roll During the Year. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.—Com- missioner of Pensions Dominick Ignatius Murphy has submitted to the Secretary of the Interior his annual report on the operations of the Pension Bureau for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, which shows that 40,374 new pensioners were added and 3823 restored who had been previously dropped, making a total of 44,247 The losses for various reasons aggregate 44.093. The whole number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 189, was 970,678. The Commis- sioner states that it may now be {safely assumed that the roll from the present time on will show a steady diminution unless Congress should enact still more liberal prov:sions. The rate of mortality of the pensioners, par- ticularly those who served through the War of the Rebellion, is rapidly increasing. — Arthur D. Seavey Dead. SARATOGA, N. Y., SBept. 2L—Arthur D. Beavey, ex-Auditor of Baratoga, died last night. He was born at Brunswick, Me., 1n 1836, and in 1849 went to Califor- nia, where he formed the acquaintance of Jobn W. Mackay. This acquaintance subsequently ripened into strong friend- ship. “For seven years he worked in the mines. He afterward conducted a mer- cantile business in Springfield, Cal.

Some Good Horses Were Entered and the Sport of Kings Was Enjoyed. ALL ARRANGEMENTS PERFECT. The San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Society Elated Over the Great Success. STOCKTON, CAL., Sept. 21.—The thirty- sixth annaal race meet of the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Society opened with an attendance that bids well for its suc- cess, The Sixth Regiment band of this city contributed to the pleasures of the day for the fair ones and their escorts in the erand stand, ana Killip & Co. looked to it that the betting fraternity gathered in the ring was not neglected. The day was cool and pleasant, and the track, considered one of the best in the State, was in fine condition, Tte arrange- ments for the comfort of the public were perfect. The trotting was judged by Sen- ator B. F. Langford and the president of the society, F. D. Cobb, The timers were C. L. Orton, W. H. Parker and Charles Owen. W. P. McNair, whose splendid starting has given such general satisfac- tion throughout the circuit, dispatchea both the trotters and runners in iaultless fashion. The Australian starting-gate was a nov- elty in this part of the country and made an instantaneous hit, F. E. Mulholland, a San Francisco turf scribe, placed the first horses past the wire in the running events. The energetic and wide-awake officers of the society, not to be caught napping at the post, Kave concluded to keep a pace with the metropolitan racetracks by set- ting Wednesday aside as ‘‘ladies’ day,” the fair sex passing through the gate with- out admission fee. The horses of the fast classes will not be seen out here before Wednesday. To-day was given up to a couple of running dashes with moderate fields starting and a district trot in which the heats were badly chopped up before the final decision. Gladiola, ridden by Little Woods, a prom- ising hghtweight, who was picked up for $1in pools of twenty-three, took the open- ing six-furlong scramble. The favorite, Grady, headed Miss Pollard out in the mile run, and General, who sold in the field, captured the trot, to the unconfined joy of his colored driver, Harrison. The opening betting on this district trot favored Baby W, the black daughter of Wilkesdale, who brought $10, Schmale $6 and the field $5. Schmale, driven by his owner, Professor Schmale, ana hooked to an exercise cart, made his field look like common cattle in the first heat by win- ning “off”’ from the favorite in 2:843{. There was no change in the betting, for the Baby was just as warm a choice as ever for the next heat. She took it from Schmale rather handily, and then there was a lullin the pool-selling. In the thira heat, though, a new factor sprung up, General finishing in front of the favorite. The field now sold a slight favorite over Baby W. General’s colored driver got the Fallis “hoss” home again first in the fourth heat, “‘and dar was some genuine consternashun in' ae camp of the even- ing.” General now brought $10 againsi $4 for the whole field. Rev. Green got up behind Joe in the heat following and through some picturesquely winding and intricate piloting got that horse to the judges ahead of General. But in the last heat General outstayed Joe, taking the heat and race. The time of this heat was 2:33%, the best of the race, showing the winner to be a horse of stamina and game- Dess. In the closing pools sold on the six fur- long scramble, Jim Bozeman and Ricardo sold equal favorites in the betting, each bringing $10 with the field going for $6. Irma made the running until well into the stretch, when Gladiola assumed the lead and won cleverly in 1:14}{ with Re- bellion snatching the place from Irma in the last jump. Auctioning on the mile dash was lively with the betting slightly favoring Grady, the Three Cheers youngster bringing $10, Miss Poliard $7 and the field $2. The out- sider Tuxedo with Shaw up scared the crowd with coin on the favorite by leading to the stretch. Grady, who had been pocketed, gradually worked to the front and beat Miss Pollard out very handily in 1:42{. Young Cole, who rode the winner, shows much improvement in the saddle: Special trot for district horses; purses $300. by Fallls by Alex: 4 * 212443 Joe, b. g., by Pilot Prince (Young and Green ; Schmale, 444212 selling; purse $200. b. m{ &ldlnlg 104, by Gano- i Muting (Martin), .1 W.

REDDING, CaL., Sept. 21.—The matter of the validity of the Camden Toliroad Company’s franchise came up for final hearing before the Board of Supervisors of this county to-day. For a great number of years the Camden toll road has been used for public travel.” It extends from a point just above Shasta to the Tower House, a beautiful spot owned by Charles Camden, the owner of the road. Tolls bave been collectea by Camden. It was claimed that some time ago the company'’s franchise exgired, and, Iailing to apply for a renewal, the franchise was invalid. Complaint was made and the District Attorney instructed to bring pro- ceedings to investigate the matter. The parties interested appeared before the Supervisors to-day and the matter was disposed of by the Supervisors authorizing Camden to collect no more toll. Camden claims he has aright to charge toll and proposes to do so. The Supervisors notified him that on the first coraplaint he would be arrested, and as he insists on taking toll a test case may be looked for in a few days. —_——— MONIEREX'S WOULD-BE SUICIDE. Alfred Diax Thrice Wooed Death and Is Now Battling for Life. MONTEREY, OarL., *Sept. 21.—Alfred Diaz, the young man who a few weeksago attempted suicide here, was taken this morning to San Francisco to undergo an X-ray examination. Diaz tried to shoot himself with a revolver. The bullet entered his right side and presumably lodged there, but the physicians have been unable to locate it and are therefore anxious that the new system of internal photography should be” tried. The doc- tors informed young Diaz that if the ball was not found and removed he would die. Diaz came to the conclusion that, after having three times attempted to take his own life and failed, he would rather live. Diaz is a young man about 24 years of age and a member of one of the oldest and most respected Spanish families in Mon- terey. No cause has ever been found for. his trying to kill himself. —_———— KILLING AT COULTERVILLE. John Fernetti Ends the Life of Lowis Bruschi With a Bullet.

A few minutes before the killing the two men guarreled, but settled their diffi- culties and shook hands. Vernetti said he was going home and asked Bruschi to come out 4nto the road, as he wished to talk with him. Brushi foliowed him, and the two men talked for twenty minutes in a low tone, when a shot was fired. et Marin County’s Tax Rate.

Bryan’s Financial 4rguments Answered by a Democrat. LAKEPORT, CAn, Sept. 20.—Hon. Thomas B. Bond, who has just returned from the National Democratic Conven- tion, and who is one of the California Palmer and Buckner electors, addressed a large audience on financial issues here Saturday night. He began by referring to the Chicago platform and Mr. Bryan’s public utterances, and told what they pro- posed to do. There were three monetary ratios—one of weight, one of [size and one of value. Mr. Bryan advocated the one of weight. He would nave the Government coin the silver of the world and try to make the people accept it at par when there was only 52 cents in a silver dollar. The Government never did, could not now and never could create value. Allit could do with free and unlimited coinage would be toguarantee fineness and weight. Under our present standard, he said, the Government stood behind each silver dol- lar, or price of paper money or subsidiary coin, and guarantees to redeem it in gold at_the option of the holder, and it was this that made them circulate at par. Silver has the same price all over the world, he declared, and in order to raise that price we would have to corner the silver of the world. But Mr. Bryan said that the unlimited demand would bring silver up from 66 cents an ounce to $1 29 an ounce. If this was true, why did sil- ver and gold both fluctuate prior to 1873, when we had freé coinage of both metals? Fir-t we had all gold and then all silver, and if Congress could not wed them then it could not now. It was the cost of pro- duction that created vaiue, and Congress could not regulate that. Prior to 1873 seven tons of silvar were produced to one of gold; now twenty tons of silver to one of gold were produced. This was what caused the difference in price. And again: If thirteen of the leading Governments of the world by demonetiz- ing silver sent it to its present price, could one Government alone restore it? Would it not require an international agreement ? As a resut of this sprech quite 8 number of gold Democrats have come out for Palmer and Buckner and still others for McKinley and Hobart. The sound money movement is growing daily in Lake County. Z oA M SUSANVILLE CONVENXTION, Lassen County Republicans Nominate Their Candidates.

Mitchell returned from San Francisco this morning on the same train. “Silver John” is popularly supposed to carry inside State secrets in his innermost pocket, and in consequence he was much in demand to-day by the small-fry politicians, ward-heelers and legislative candidates. It bas been whispered about the streets for some days that Governor Budd is get- ting ready to turn loose the dogs of war upon the White-Cator con.bine to control two sessions of the California Legislature | in the interest of the parties to the deal. Mitchellis known to be a warm friend of Governor Budd’s, hence to-day’s jam to see the “Cahuenga statesman.” To a CAvL correspondent Mitchell said: *“You may quote me as saying that Per- kins will not be re-elected in a thousand years. As to Budd’s fight against the Cator-White fusion scheme, I know noth- ing; but there is no guestion about an amicable understanding between the two gentlemen, and I understand that the dicker will lose many a vote to Mr. Bryan—but this is only hearsay. “One thing you feilows have not ob- served, and that is, as I figure it, there is a Fretty gocd chance for a deadlock in next winter’s Legisiature, wherein W hite will lose nothing; and in the event of Bryan’s election he can practically control the Cal- ifornia appointments. Moreover, a dead- lock suggests the possibilities of a dark horse, you know, and you may guess at the rest; but Perkins will not be re-elected —never.” Many of the old line Democrats here do not hesitate to say that the Cator- ‘White alliance will lose Bryan thousands of votes in Southern California, which 1s ?fiurdmg Republicans considerable com- ort. The Democratic candidates of the fusion combine do not say they will vote for Cator in the event of their election, but on that point manage to cautiously give it out that they will support a silver man. ey LOS ANGELES CONFERENCE.
