12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1896 L CORBETT DECLINES T0 FIGHT SHARKEY There Is Not Enough in It for Him to Meet the Sailor. He Says That This State Is but a Very Small Part of the Country, HE WILL NOT COME HERE. The East Wants Him to Fight Fi‘z- simmons and the Venture Wili Be More Profitable. Corbett’s long-expected letter in regard to his attitude in the promised fight with Sharkey was received here yesterday. “It's all off,” dejectedly statea Dan Lynch when he glanced over the two pages of typewritten matter. ‘‘The cow- ard bas flunked, as I thought he would.” He then handed the letter over to Shar- key, and beiween the two, with the assist- ance ot Jim Groom, they managed to read the champron’s decision. Following is a copy of Pompadour Jim’s strange deductions: YORK, October 6, 1896. ° are Groom’s Hat Store, Bald- SIR: Mr. Dan Lynch win Hotel, San_Francisco, Cal 1 to Denver calling ,and I received a very in telegram from you in reply. I have ing down at Asbury Park for five Mr. Fitzsimmons and Mr. Sharkey are both on the road making money. Neither one of them would make & cent it it were not for the fact that they are traveling on my name. How- ever, I was perfectly willing to do_this at the time as the clubs in Friseo offered purses that were satisiactory to me. They agreed to put | up the money 8t & certain time, and Mr. Law- rence of the Examiner kuows that 1 was ready to stari as soon as th t the money up. However, they did not stick to their agree- ment, and I gave them until a certain time to putup their guarantee. They failed to do this, and I called the match off, and went right shead and made other arrangements, Now, Mr. Lynch, it is just like this. There seems 1o be no interest in Sha: outside of Californie, which is & small of this coun- try. Everyone wants me to fight Fitzsimmons and as that is where the interest is centered, and not seeing any chence i I beat Sharkey 10 | make mo; 0 or $5000,1 canuot see | why I should come out | r such a paitry sum. In with Sharkey is a § 000 a side and there was & purse offered ot $20,000. As soon as 1 made & match with Fitzsimmons it has dropped to $10,000. Ity out the: DEAR cost me $5000 to bring my trainers and train, so there is no use wasting any taik or time. 1 will not fight Sharkey at present. Fitzsimmons is the man I am ambi- | tious to meet, and I will attend to Sharkey | afterward providing the inducements suit me. Hoping you will look at this in a business like way, I remain yours tru JAMES J. CORBETT. Corbett’s attitude in this Sharkey affair has excited much comment among the patrons of pugilism. It is believed now that Jim 1is positively afraid of meeting defeat if he goes against the sailor. Jim sees no way of getting more than $5000 out of the aifairif he wins, and he claims it will cost him that amount to come here with his retinve and train. Is it then that he and Sharkey humbugged the public here when they ciaimed to have deposited $5000 each as a forfeit in tue hands of Danny Miller at the time of signing articles? The National Athletic Club has put up | $5000 cash as a first deposit on a $10,000 urse, and with the $10,000 Corbets, ynch, Sharkey and Miller claimed was put up by the fighters themseives, Cor- bett, if a winner, certainiy could draw down a snug pot of money, far surpassing even such extravagant expenditures for an overland trip as $5000. Sharkey was very much put out after hearing Corbett’s letter read to him. “He’s a dirty cur; hedon’t want to meet me. I have had Groom telegraph to Fitz- simmons that I will fight bim for $10,000 a side and ten rounds. Illfightany man in the world—black, white or blue; I bar no color, size or weight. If Ican force Corpett to meet me I'll bet $5000 on the side he’ll not be on his feet in ten rounds.” A casual remark made by a bystander to | the effect that Sharkey would have to swim Cavill, the Australian, a match across the Golden Gate, brought forth the pleasant retort: “There’'s another guy. He wants to make money off my name. Ii he comesat me with a challenge to swim I'll punch him in the jaw. I'm no swimmer; I'm a fighter.”’ He Felt of His Pockets. Joseph Leleveier, a fishermen, through his curiosity to ascertain what A.J. Brower, whom he found asleep on & doorstep on Dupont street, had in his pockets, caused Officer J. B. | Cavanaeh, who saw him in the gct of explora- tion, to arrest him for grand larceny. Brower | regrets the absence ot & gold watch, but the ticker was not found on the person of Le- leveier when searched at the Californig-street siation. e Anti-Charter Mass-Meeting To-night at Metropolitan Hall defects of the new charter will be pointed out by James He Barry, editor of the Star, representing the Women’s Liberal League.

EDWARD REMENYI, the renowned violinist, whose artistic strains arouse ecstasy in the hearts of music lovers the world over, is to be in S8an Francisco the last of this month, and the select circie of artists which has received word of his intentions is cherising hopes of once more listening to the charming performance of this revered master of the bow. Itis not Remenyi’s expressed intention, however, to give concerts while here. In a series of letters which he has written to Professor G. Sauylet of this City in regard to his visit, he has been at pains to declare that his yisit was solely for the purpose of recuperating his health. While here he will be the guest of Professor Sauvlet, who has been his warm personal friend since 1867, when the two played together in concerts in Amsterdam. Nine vears ago Remenyi and Sauvlet played together before the Emperor and Empress of Japan. of the Conservatory of Music of Tokio. Bauvlet was at that time director A DAY'S DOINGS IN CITY POLITICS | Buckley Lambs Skirmish for Names to Their Petition. An Ezxcursion on the Bay for General Butterworth and Mr. Schoonmaker. ORATOR TAYLOR COLLAPSES. The Silver Advocate From Denver Has Cance'ed His Engage- ments to Regain Health. Christopher Buckley, laughing over his good luck as a swallower of little political parties, sat in a dim room at 20 Ellis street yesterday afternoon, where he heard reports from such lieutenants as D. 0. Gillespie of the Populist party, and ave orders to his underlings, who flitted in and out like messenger-boys. There was a meeting of the Buckleyites at the same number during the afternoon, Joseph Rothschild acting as chairman. The .aithful were urged to get out and hustle up names for the petition that is to enable them to get aboard the election ship. About twenty men votunteered to secure names and give their energies to the work of keeping the lambs in line. The Kelly-Mahoney wing of the situa- tion was in close consuitation with “The Senator’’ yesterday afternoon and it was decided to push their petition with all possible vigor to-day and present 1t for filing. ‘T'here was an excursion on the bay yes- terday in honor of General Benjamin But- terworth of Obio and F. X. Schoonmaker ) of New Jersey. The tug Governor Mark- ham took the following gentlemen, leav- ing the wharf at 11 A. ».: Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, Major Frank McLaughlin, Colonel George Stone, United States Cir- cuit Judge Joseph McKenna, ex-United States Senator C.N. Feiton,John D, Spreck- els, Bank Commissioner Paris Kiiburn, Harbor Commissioner Daniel T. Cole, General Jobn F. Sheehan, Judge R. B. Carpenter, Cornehus O’Connor, W. B.

Blum of Oregon. The tug steamed around the battleship Oregon, visited the Pacific Yacht Club quarters at Sausalito and other points -of interest around the bay. General Butterworth left for Oregon last night and Mr. Schoonmaker went to Bakersfield, both to° make political speeches. They wereat the Union League Club as guests during the afternoon. There was considerable activity at silver headquarters yesterday. Arrangements were made to have a mass-meeting at Union Hall to-morrow night. The chief speaker will be Judge Maguire. The Bryan Silver Labor Organization will have a meeting at the Grove-Street The- ater to-night. On Saturday night the students of Stanford and Berkeley will have a silver meeting at Metropolitan Temple. Governor Budd will preside. News was received at Democratic head- quarters yesterday that M. F. Taylor of Denver was taken so ill after his Los Angeles speech that he canceled his Ba- kersfield and Los Angeles dates. He will probably return to Denver, as he has col- lapsed physically as a result of continued speaking. The German silver club yesterday ar- ranged to hold a meeting at Metropolitan Temple on the 20th. Editor Grunblatt and Dr. Max Mnfnus will be't e speakers. The friends of Auditor Broderick are very angry because a morning paper stated that his employes had heen assessed to make his fight. Itis siated by one very close to the office that some of ‘the Audi- tor's friends voluntarily met and voted to make up a purse for his fight, but rone were coerced or asked to contribute, the roatter being the result of a yoluntary con- tribution among the Auditor’s friends. The United Railway Employees’ Repub- lican Club will hold a_public meeting this evening at Mission Parlor Hall, Seven- teenth street, the proceedings to begin at 8 o’clock. The programme will include music and speeches. Irving M. Scott of the Union Iron Works will contribute to the latter. A large and enthusiastic at- tendance is expected.

Two bicycles will be fixed stationary on a platform and on the torward wheel will be fixed an arrangement connected with a large dial and hand, the whole working on the principle of a cyclometer, and as the pedals are worked the wheel will re- volve with more or less rapidity, accord- ing to the strength and ability of the rider, ana the revolutions shown on the dial. A number of entries have been reg- istered and all cyclers are said to be much interested as to the outcome. Several prizes will be awarded to the winners. (M, GREENWOUD IS DEAD After a Brief Illness He Expires When Recovery Was Expected. He Was a Pioneer and Carved Out & Successful Career While the State Was Young. Monroe Greenwood, president of the California Electrical Works and vice-presi- dent of the Sunset Telephone and Tele- graph Company, died yesterday afternoon at San Mateo. Mr. Greenwood had been ill for about a week, but yesterday his condition was considered much improved until, with scarcely a moment’s warning, the end came. His demise is attributed to heart failure. Mr. Greenwood was born at Dublin, Miss., and was 68 years of age. He came to California 1n 1851, and has been promi- nently associated with the business life of this City since that time. He was practically without means when he arrived here, but by enterprise and strict business integrity he had become possessed of considerable property, and made a name for himself, which was the synonym of all that goes {o make up a man respected by his associates in busi- ness. Mr. Greenwood had been connected with the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Com- pany since its organization, and two of his sons, F. A, and George D. Greenwood, are occupying respnnsib{e positions in the company. Besides tuese, he leaves a widow, a son, Frank M., and a daughter, Lillie G. Greenwood. . No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. ks BRGSO ] Third Street—Nolan’s Must Vacate. The Nucleus building to be torn down DIED AT 1207 BY THE WATCH Hack-Driver Kinney Found Dead and Floating in the Bay. WATCH FULL OF WATER He Was Last Seen at Midnight Going Toward His Lodging- House. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. His Purse Is Missing and There Is a Strange Blonde Woman “in the Case. The body of A. J. Kinney, a well-known hack-driver, familiarly called *Johnnie,” was found in the slip of Mission-street dock 2 yesterday morning at 7:50 o’clock. Severai mysterious circumstances sur- round his death. Kinney had been a hackdriver in the City about ten years and was a familiar figure at the ferries, Third and Townsend streets and downtown stands. He owned his own carriage and team, dressed in livery, was quiet, well behaved and did not drink to excess. Knowing his steady habits, all his friends are mystified at his sudden death. Its suddenness is well illustrated by the fact that oneof the men, W. H. Horn, who played shuffle- Il Al | < board Saturday night with him in Cogh- lin’s saloon at 1430 Market street, and is employed by the San Francisco Under- taking Company, vesterday afternoon em- balmed the body of his friend - and com- ramun of the night before and prepared it or burial. - Saturéay night County Clerk Curry, his deputy, Harry Piper, Frank. Corbett of the San Francisco Undertaking Company, Harry Corbett and several others were in Coghlin’s saloon. They talked politics and other things and played shuffle-board. About, 11 o’clock Jonnnie Kinney and a friend, J. M. Ferris, a silver-plater who lives out in the Potrero, leit the saloon to go home. Kinney drank a little periodi- cally, and was somewhat under the influ- ence of liquor when Ferris left him at Third and Howard streets, about 11:30 o'clock. Ferris says the last he saw of Kinney was when the latter walked across the street toward the Koster lodging- house at 205 Third street, where he roomed. Ferris then caughta car and went home. Nobody has yet been found who saw Kin- ney after this till his dead body was January 1. Big stock of shoes to be closed out at a great sacrifice. S * MONROE GREENWOOD, President of the California Electrical Works and Vice-President of the Sunset Telephone and Tele- graph Company, Whose Demise Occurred Yesterday. found in the water. Shortly before 8 o'clock J. C. Parker of the little steamer Belvedere noticed the body floating in the slip, and Edward Casey, a runner for the New Western Hotel, assisted him in tying it to the '?iling. when the Coroner’s office was notified. There are several scratches on the face and the end of the nose is skinned, but it is thought these abrasions were made by contact with the piling. The ?u.cmon which puzzles the dead man’s friends is Kinney's ‘whereabouts after 11:30 o'clock. Some think he was drugced and robbed; others that he wan- dered down Mission street, fell into the water and being heavily intoxicated was unable 0 help glmulh There is one fact wlgichAppportu the latter theor . It is that Kinney's silver watch was full of water land it stopped at exactly 12:07 o’clock, | stored. giving him time enough togwander slowly own Mission or Howard streets from Third to the wharf. Oa _theotner hand Michael W. Kinney, the dead man’s brother, says he carried from $15 to $30 in a purse. When the body was recovered only 2 cents were in the pockets and the purse was missing. _Jack Marshall, a hack-driver, throws a little more mystery into the case by mak- ng the statement that he saw Kicney around the ferries at 6 o’clock yesterday morning. But if that is so how dia the watch get filled with water at 12:07 in the morning, his friends would like to know. There also appears to be 2 woman in the case. She is i ot kriown to have been with Kinney Saturday night. She is blonde and fair. Friday morning she went to the ferries to meet some friends. They failed to appear, and Kinney took her home in his carriage and made her ac- qaaintance. He lold several of his friends among the hack-drivers that he had an cngagement with the woman Saturday night and that she seemed to be a lady. Itis not known whether he kept this engagement or not. Kinney was always well dressed and was rather a good-looking fellow. He was about 42 years of age and was born in Wis- consin, He roomed with his brother. The circumstances so far as known were re- vorted to Captain Lees and he put Detec- tives Cody and Crockett on the case. R. E, Cole, liveryman on Third street, where Kinney kept his horses and car- riage, said Kinney came in about 6 o’clock Saturday night, about two hours earlier than usual. It was also learned by a CALL reporter that Kinney had a drink " about 7 o'clock With a strancer at Ackerson’s saloon at Third and Howard. The bartender was not able to give a description of this man. The autopsy on tihe body, performed by Dr. Charles L. Morgan, demonstrated the fact that the lungs were full of water and that the immediate cause of death was submersion. No liquor was found in the stomach. Kinney was a stockholder in the Union Undertaking Company on Mission street. He will be buried under the au.\?iceu of %o;go No. 34 of the Young Men’s Insti- ute, A DAY OF PLEASURE.

Dr. Spaulding’s sermon in St. John'’s Episcopal Church yesterday was upon “Sin, Its Consequences and the Di- vine Remedy.” The healing of the man with palsy suggested- the subject. The rector called attention to the fact that the Lord’s answer to the palsied man, “Thy sins be forgiven thee,” would be meaning- less unless sin was the cause of the disease, and then dwelt upon the physical and moral results of sin. He said that there is the slow suicide of bad habits and of evil passions as well as the sudden ending of life by pistol or poison. The moral re- sults, he said, are still more dreadful in a Jowered tone ot living, in the conscious- ness of being apart from God, which means /wretched restiessness. Forgive- iness of sins of which the Master left the privilege in bis; church to speak for him is the only cure for this wretched restiess- ness. ————— ARRIVAL OF ThE WATJEN.
