How THE SAILOR VERY SANGUINE. Hall in a Prearranged Fight the Only Man Who Ever Defeated the Lanky Fitz. 1f the records of fighting men are to be taken into consideration when figuring upon future performances, it does cer- 1ainly seem, in the face of coid facts, that Thomas Sharkey, the champion heavy- weight pugilist of the coast and of Uncle EBam’s navy, has but a meager chance oi whipping Bob Fitzsimmons, the elon- gated champion middle-weight fighter of | the world. 1t cannot be gainsaid that Sharkey has proven himself a man of extraordinary | vitality and one who is capable of taking hard punching without flinching. " In his contest with Corbett he received some heavy blows in face and body during the | tirst and-second rounds of the bout, which, with the excention of one powerfal upper- | cut that almost closed one of his eyes, he { did not seem 1o notice. { Corbett is not what is commonly termed a “knocker-out,” and he proved it conclu- sively in his last battle in this City. Con- ! sequently, no just comparison can be drawn when figuring upon the sailor’s charces with Fitzsimmons, from the mere fact that he held his ghound against an extremely clever pugilist. Fit nmons, although in the same class with Corbett, has an altogether different | method of fighting. His record will prove | that he is a; ‘‘knocker-out,” or, in other | words, a man who has made short work of | his opponents. Corbeti, on the other band, relied solely on his remarkable cleverness and ability to go a long distance 1o win him a victors. The only battle of short duration he succeeded in winning | against 2 man of reputation was tiie one | he engaged in with Charley Mitchell, who | at the time of the encounter was but a | mere shadow of his former self. Fitzsimmons is unquestionably a re- markable man; in fact, a more remarkable | being, pugilisticaliy speaking, is unknown | 10 the history of the ring. He commenced as a middle-weight, and at th me when ! he was a decided!y raw recruit in the pu- | gilistic ranks he whaled many good men | who were rated as being pretty hard nats | to crack., Finding that more money could be made in hammering pugilisiic aspira-{ tions out of would-be fighters than in | hammering shoes on the feet of horses, he turned bis muscular back upon the forge | and went forth into the world in quest of money and fame, both of which he ex- pected to attain by the power of his fists | That he was successful goes without | saying. He not only whipped the great- | esi of middle-weights, but the scalps of | many heavy-weight celebrities now dangle irom his belt, and still heis looking for more worlds to conquer. | His record can show but one biemish. Just previous to his departure from Aus- 1ralia to this country he met Jim Hall, on | February 10, 1899, in Sydnev, and was | defeated in four rounds. Fitzsimmons | subsequently acknowledged to some of the officers of the old California Athletic Club that the fight was a prearranged af- fair, and that he agreed to lose to Hall for | a certain consideration, because he needed money badly. Jimmy Carroll, who is now in training for a ten-round contest with Jack McAu- liffe, under the auspices of the St. George's | Club, wasan_instructor at the California | Club when Fitzsimmons ‘landed in this | City. With the exception of a few cirect- | ors of the old ciub, to whom Captain Miorse. the then very popvlar officer of the | Australian liner Alameda, related nice | things concerning the pugilistic career of the invader from the land of the Golden Fleece, the members and the critics on pugilism paid little or no attention to the young mun of flaxen hair and construction. Artful Jimmy somehow “smelt a mice,” and he soon had elongated Robert under his wing. But Jimmy kept his council to himself, and Fitz” was not long breath- ing the pure aimosphere of the Pacific, when he was matched to fight Billy Me- Carthy, who at that time was considered s being a hard man to whip. Carroll handlea his prize cleverly, and the fow sports who were in the swim had many a %ood laugn to themselves after noting the expressions of uisgust that invariably ap- peared on Jimmy’s face when he joined the crowd, after putting his charge | through a little private exercise with the | mittens. Carroll always had hopes of success, but he never lost an opportunity to intorm the sports at large that he was | afraid McCarthy was too husky a chap for | his man Bob. Poor Billy McCarthy, who | was one of the most honest fighters that | ever entered = ring, was but a toy 1n the | hauds of the Cornishman. | The contest took place on the evening | of May 20,1890, and Mctarthy went to | roost in the ninth round. Carroil and-his friends scooped in a nice penny on the re- sult. Thelanky lad from far-away Aus- tralia was now looked upon by ail local | aspirants to the middle-weight champion- | ship as a dangerous customer, and as a re- | sult Fitzy had to look for new fields to | conquer. He journeyeéd toward the rising sun and secured several small contracts in‘the East. His fightsof note were: George Godirey (colored), whom he whipped 1n | one round. at Philadelphis, Pa., on May 7, | 1892. | | It will be remembered by many mem- | bers of the old California Club thlti‘ Godfrey made a formidable stand againsg | Peter Jackson when the latter was in his | prime, and that Godfrey, after taking a tremendous beating, acknowledged bis de- feat in the nineteenth round by throwing up both hands. 8, 1890, he waipped Arthur Up- ham in New Orleans in five rounds, and on January 14, 1891, he conquered Jack | Dempsey in thirteen rounds. Spectators of the battle state that the Cornishman could have easily whipped *‘the Noupareil” in quicker time. Peter Maher, the Irish champion heavy- weight, met and was defeated by Fitzsim- monsin twelve roundsat the Olympic Clab, New Orleans, March 2, 1892. ¥itz mer Jim Hall again and whipped bim in four rounds at New Orleans on March 8, 1893. He fought Joe Choynski on June 17, 1894, at Bostdn, and had administered to the Cali- fornian such a terrib'e drubbing thatthe police interfered, and the fight ended in the fifth round. The referee declared it & draw. He nextmet Dan Creedon in New Orleans, on Sentember 26, 1894, and Daniel was put tosleep iu the second round. The second contest between Fitzsimmons and Peter Maher, which was fought on Mexi- can seil, is stiil fresh in the minds of the lovers of fisticuffs. Maher was knocked out aiter fighting thirty seconds, but he atributes his defeat tc his poor eyesight, which was then greatly impaired. Sharkey, the muscular sailor pueilist whio will'be the next man to engage in a passage-at-arms with Fitz, has a record of iqueun { { board the ferr: ‘CLOTHES FOR THE PODR, | small cost ana relieves them of the idea | Clothing Bureau,” is the outcome of a | | of “collecting and selling clothing was ! bureau is_in one of the back rooms of tne ! | wear. having whip, several big scrappers in Honolulu. But his principal viciories are | as follo: Defcated - Martin Muiverbill in twenty-fonr rounds at Vallejo in 1894; defeated_ Billy Smith at Colma in seven rounds; defeated John Miller st Colma in nine rounds; defeated Jim Williams of Balt Lake in Mechanics' Pavilion; staved eight rounds with Choynski and won half the purse; fought Alex Greggains an eight-round draw in the Bush-streer Theater: _fought Corbett a four-round draw in Mechanics’ Pavilion and boxed a iriendly hout with John L. Sullivah in Madison Square, New York. Sharkey was in town yesterday for thie first time since he took up tramning quar- ters at the beach. He was the object of particular attention as he promenaded along Market street. In conversation he saill” he never felt better in his life and that he -would give Fitzsimmonsa much greater surprise than he expects to meet with on the evening of December 2. “I'can’t understand,’’ said the sailor, | “why the papers do not. give me as biga boost as they give Corbeti, Fitzsummons, Choyn: and the big fellows who are! oniy looking for newspaper notoriety. My | record isas good as any of the heavy- weights. Didn’t I make Choynaski quit fighting, and were it not for the referee, who stopped the fight temporarily when 1 punched him so hard in the stomacn that he resorted to a trick to gain time, wouldn’t I have knocked him out? “I done exactly the same thing with Corbett. A couple of hard jabs in the stomaci: knocked the wind and fight out of the talking champion, and then when | he was all but gone he resorted to bug- | ging and clinching tactics to save himself irom defeat; but of course poor Tom got the worst of it all round. “Have I séen Fitzsimmons? No, I have not seen him, nor do I want to see him until we meet in the ring; that will be time enoughn for me. ~‘How do I propose to fight him? *I cannot_tell you anything about it. AllTcan say is that Fitzsimmons will know that he has been in a fight after I have got through with him. Good-0ay.” Fitsimmons, wife and child left this City on .the 1:35 o’clock boat yesterday. afternoon for Sausalito, where he will re- side until the day of the battle. A large crowd of people saw the great pugilist on teamer. HIRSCH’S LUCKY STAR. How the Supervisor’s Fishing-Rod and Umbrella Caine Back After Many Days. Supervisor Atphonse Hirsch says that ! { | | | | his Incky star has risen and that he is‘ seriously contemplating embarking in the | first big enterprise that come his way. | Mr. Hirsch has reason to consider himself | fortunate. 1 A year ago a handsome silk umbrella | with a curious inlaid silver handle, pre- sented to him by his wife, and a valuable imported fishing-rod disappeared simul- taneously from his house, and he long ago | gave up hope of ever seeing them again. | Yesterday, as he was standing in front | of his Kearny-street estabhishment, he r saw a man passing who carried an um- brella that looked familiar. To think was toact, and in an instant he bad stooped | the stranger and inquired where he gained possession of the rain-aefier, and was told | that it had been purchased recently. *“Well, it is mine,”’ said the Supervisor, ! “for there are my initials on the Landle.” | Sure enough, they were, and the stranger consented to accept from Mr. Hirsch the | amount he hall paid for the umbrella and 1 also to tell the pawnshop where he bought | it. Mr. Hirsch was thinking of bis fish- ing-rod when he asked about the pawn- | shop, and at once made his way to the | place designaied. | “Have you any fishing-rods for sale?” | ne asked the proprietor. | The man at once produced the rod that had disappeared with the umbrella, and was dilating on its merits when Mr. Hirsch told him that the rod was stolen | and demanded possession. The man at first demurred, but wnen shown the um- brella“aud given further proofsthat the articles rightly belonged to Mr. Hirsch he gave inand surrendered the rod. Hence | Mr. Hirsch’s belief in his lucky star. —_— Bureau Whe;e One May Get a| Full Suit for Seventy- Five Cents. It Is Conducted at the .Samaritan Mission by Episce. palians. There is connectéd with the Mission of the Good Samaritan, on Second street, near Foisom, a department which en- ables the worthy poor to obtain warm, clean, comfortable clothing at a very of wearing *‘charity clothes.” This department, known .as “The suggestion made by Mrs. Lauver, secre- tary of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Episcopal church, at a meeting held about a year and a half ago, and it has been in operation about six months. She stated at that time that such bureaus bad been started in some Eastern cities and had been found to be a great.bemefit.. The suggestion was acted upon by a number of ladies active in church work, the work | started about six months ago and at this : time it is ander snccessful operation. “This burean,” said Superintendent | Astredo of the mission, *‘is under the aus- | pices of the ludies of the Episcopal enurch, who work in_conjunction with the sisters | of the Order of the Good Shepherd. The | object is to furnish clothing to poor people ata very low fizure, yet enough to give | them to understand that it is not charity | and that what they receive is theirs by right of purchase. 'No person, however, | can purchase any clothing from the! burean without presenting a card. { “These cards,” continued Superinten- | dent Astredo, *‘are distributed to benevo- lent associations and prominent citizens, | and they are issued with the understand- | ing that those who distribute them will | not do so until after a full investigation of the condition of the applicants who want | to purchase clothing. This is to prevent imposition. ‘“‘Persons of any creed are entitled to a ! card, -if deserving. The source of supply | to the bureau is contributions from the | charitably disposed. All the clothing that 1 is bronght here is of good quality.’ Until the new home is finished the present mission. Yesterday afternoon | there were haif a'dozen women in the | bureau selecting such articles as they de- sired. One was looking at a pair of bot- tines, but slightly worn, which were cus- tom made and must have cost at least $5. They were offered for 50 cents. Another was examining a very pretty sacque of heavy blue material, which was marked 25 cents, and others were selecting under- ar. There are garments of ail kinds, which may be purchased for sums vary- ing from 5 cents 10 50 cents, and none of the articles are such that any of the pur- | chasers need be ashamed to wear them. | A suit may be purchased for about 75 cents. | e S — The Fall Proved Fatal. R. Lewellyn, an aged salooh-keeper, living at 810 Potrero avenue, died yesterday in the City and County Hospital from injuries re- ceived om. October 31. On thatdate he was working on the frontof the house No. 800 and fell, breaking his arm ana collai-bone. He ‘was remo to the Uny and County Hospital where he soon showed signs.of internal 1n- juries. The man’s age, 64 years, was greatly against his recovery aud he lingered until yesterday when he expired. He was a native of Ireland. ¥ ————-———— TEEKing of Pills is Beecham’s— BEECHAN'S. | and Dr. Bunnell | objs REULT OF 0LD QUMREL Michael McNally Dying at the Receiving Hos- pital . 2 The Shooting Affrdy Occurred Opposite the Pac.fic Mail Dock. SELF-DEFENSE IS THE PLEA. John Carney, a Marine Fireman, Who Fired the Shot, Chargel With Assault to Murler. Michael McNally, a marine tireman, was shot and fatally wounded yesterday after- noon by John Carney, also a marine fire- man, on First street, opposite the -Pacific ! Mail dock. Carney was talking to two friendsata matter was taken before Judge Hebbard, who decided in favor of Ward. & “Since then Ward’s friends in the union bave been down uvon me. Pat McGrath is one of Ward’s friends and he was with the gang to-day. About four months ago McGrath called me a vile name on the dock and after we got outside the gates we had a n&ht. I had the best of the fight, but McGrath’s friends, who were with him, jumaped upon me and gave me a severe beating. I had that experience in my mind to-day when they came after me.” McNally “arrived here on the steamer Newport on her tirst trip from New York a few months ago. He left that vessel ana made a few trips on the Anstralis. He lived at 313 Seventh street.

William Wright, who lives in the Win- chester House, was an unprejudiced eye- witness to the shooting. }je told Cor- poral Cockerill that he would have done the same thing as Carney if he had been placed in the same position, and offered to appear as a witness in Carney's de- fense. Dennis Gallagher, Peter Barry, Edward Gray, Michael McGinnis and John Gavin, who are ail employed on the | steamer Anstralia, and were with Mc- | Nally at the time of the shooting, were zgl.gnenud as witnesses by Policeman 1deau. ’ Eleciion of Trustees.

One of them, either Mike McGinnis or Peter Barry, struck him in the face. Carney %o avoid trouble walked about fifty feet along Brannan sureet and siood | in front of a restaurant, but McNally and | his friends followed him. Seeing they were bent on trouble Carney pulled out a | revolver and warned them not to attempt to strike him again or he would use his gun. He walked away and turned the | corner onto First street, hoping that he { would not be followed. McNally and his friends still kept after him, and’'he wheeled round and to!d them that if they persisted in menacing him he would shoot. McNally threw off his coat, and, declaring that be could thrash Car- ney, gun or no gun, advanced toward him, while the others made a movenrent | to surround him. At this moment Car- ney fired, and the bullet entered Mec- Nally’s chest. McNally staggered and fell to the sidewalk. He rose to his feet and some of his friends assisted him to walk toward the saloon on the corner, where he again sank to the ground. Dr. 8. M. Terrell, a physician in tbe service of the Pacific Mail Company, who | was in the company’s. office, was sum- moned, and after making a hasty exami- nation of McNally pronounced his wound | fatal. Corporal Cockerill appeared upon the <cene and rang for the patrol-wagon. Mec- Nally was taken to the Receiving Hospital found that the bullet, after entering his chest, had ranzed down- ard and perforated the intestines. He also cxpressed the opinion that McNally counldnot live many hours. After the shooting Carney walked toward the entrance to the Mail Company’s wharf. CaptainJ. F. Anderson, the super- intendent of the dock, who had been ncti- fied of theshooting, met Carney and placed him underarrest, taking the revolver from him. Captain Anderson took Carney to a cable-car at the ferry and conveyed him to | the Receiving Hospital, where Corporal Cockerill was waiting for them. Carney was ushered into the presence of McNally, who at once identified him. Chief Crowley had been notified of the affray, and he’ t Stenographer Heyne- mann to the hospital to take MoNally's ante-mortem statement. Carney was de- tainea till Heynemann arrived. This is McNally’s statement: J My name is Michael McNally, snd 1 sm 22 yearsotage. Ionly came trom the Easta few months ago. Idid'not have any trouble with the man wno shot me. 1do not’know him, but have seen him several times.{ I never had any troub.e with this man before. The shooting occurred & little after 1 o'clock. I took up Pat McGrath's fight, a very good friend of mine. Itook off my coat and was going to fight Carney, when he shot me and I fell right down. A couple of men had trouble with him. Nobody struck McGrath to-day, but McGrath and Carney had trouble. Carney was then taken to the City Prison and a charge of assault to commit 1aurder was registered against him. He ed at first to make a statement, but finally did so. = “I shot in self-defense,’” said Carney. “I aid not fire particularly at McNally, but into the crowd. I should think there were aboul a dozen of them. They had been drinking, and while I was talking to two friends, they came up to me, and one of them hit me on the nose. I walked along Brannan street 1o avoid troubie, but they came after me, and 1 puiled out m gun and warned them to let me alone. then walked away for about ‘300 feet and I they came at me again. McNally pulled off his coat and so did two or three others.

The See Yup association has taken a new tack in its effort to have Consul-General | Fung Heng and Vice-Consul-General King | Ow Yang officially beheaded. Tiring of | the slow progression made in the courts, | they _are endeavoring to educate their countrymen into a realization of the al- leged unworth of the two officials in ques- tion by posting circulars on the dead walls | of Chinatown, proclaiming them the cause of ail the disturbance existinz of late. The heading of the proclamation is: ‘*An explanation from the mercha and | laborers of the See Yup Company.”” The | Consul-General is accused of being the whole cause of the existing trouble, and the See Yups are eulogized as peacemakers and general exponents of the Confucian beatitudes. “Some lawless white men,” the procla- | mation asserts, ‘‘were paid to destroy our property and vroduce an excitement which would lead the ignorant to refuse to pay their company dues on aeparting | for Chima. Where are we going to get | funds for our schools and the four com- vanies? Hoav are we going to send-the | bones of our dead to China? “‘One wicked officer can destroy all the harmony among us.

He is accused of nearly every crime in the decalogue, and, in addition, with using the foreign news- papers -to further his ends by informing them that the See Yups are hignbinders, These charges are made under the caption of the “Ten Evils.” n The circulars have roused great excite- ment in Chinatown and crowds of curieus Chinese are frequently teen grouped around them. Vice-Consul Yang refuses | to make any statement in regard to the 5::0":, beyond asserting that the Consul- neral nas merely obeyed orders from his Government, and he himself simply fills the roie of interpreter. He does not desire to see the strife given any more publicity. i The case of the 8ce Yups against the' General came up beiore Judge Mc- Kenna in the United States Circuit Court ynunh(. The company asked for a per- manent injunction restraining the Consul from further destroying or -mutilating their proverty and pending the hearing of the permanent injunction a tem; orary one was asked for. ~ By consent of Yang's attorney this was granted. It is undersiood that, in spite of the in- flammatory posters up by the See Yups, a concerted movement is on foot among the various organizations to make Ppeace with the Consul, > PROVIDING FOR THE INSPECTIONS Pure-Food drdina.nces Now Before the Super- visors., Supplies for Public Justitutions Mu#t Be Regularly Examined.
