Knickerbocker Club of This City Offers $20,000 for the Fight. Parson Davies Wants a Chance to Bid—Nothing Is Heard From Dan Stuart. NEW YORK, N. Y. Aug. 2—The bat- tle between Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher is well under way. This much was settled yesterday when Buck Conunolly, represent- ling Muher, and Dan Lynch, Sharkey's manager, met. When the agreement were ‘signed several months ago both-boxers fixed upon August 2to de- posit $§2500 each, the final installments of the sidé bet of $5000. This conditicn was ¢ fulfilled to-night and the money placed in the hands of Al Smith, the final stake- | holder. Lynch, who seems very sincere in bring- ing avout the present encounter, came ail the way from Ban Francisco to arrange the battle. ‘He got here Saturday and met Connolly this afternoon, No bickering or iriction sprang up between the rival managers. They merely stated their busi- néssand took action without any parley. Brady attended the session in behalf of himself and the carnival at Nevada next fall which he is now planning. It was supposed that he would give a fabulous | sum for the match, but he surprised everybody by only bidding $10,000 and 49 per cent of the picture privileges. Neither Lynch nor Connolly considered this in the least startling, and said so. “well, that's all I care to give,” replied Brady. *You promised more than that before,’” ¢himed in both Connolly and Lynch. “It was stated that you would give $14,000.” “Never made such a bid,” declared Brady; and the negotiations so far as he was concerned, ended right there, LyncH then showed a dispatch he had received from Zick Abrahams of San Francisco, formerly Solly Smith's mana- r, which read: Knickerbocker Athletic Club of San Fran- cisco will give $20,000 for the Sharkey-Maher fizht, to t moncy for same with any newspaper in San Francisco. Lynch’s eyes rolled with joyous expec- tancy as he countemplated the message and size of the purse. “That is certainly a good offer,” hesaid, “'and 1 am inclined to accept it.” He asked Connolly about | it and the latter replied that $20,000 was quite a sum, and 1f the club was on the ievel he would waive all his previous ob- | jections to 8an Francisco and fight there. | On the strength of this Lynch wired back for particulars as to referee location. Parson Davies, reoresenting a big syndi- cate, also sent word to Lynch that he would like to have a chaunce to bid. Davies is at present in Chicago, and it is understood that the men interesied in trying to bring about the fight are wealthy Chicago sports. Davies will probably be heard from to-morrow, when Lynch and Connolly are to meet again to decide on details. As to the proposition to have the mill take place in Ireland, Lynch said: “It " and proposed | would be agreeable to us, and we won't remonstrate if the clubs over there go above the Knickerbocker offer. We are out for coin and will go where we can zet the most of it.”’ Sharkey will be here in two weeks.

WASBINGTON, D. C., Aug. 2,—A com- prehensive digest of official opinions and decisions relating to pensions and bounty lands, prepared under the supervision of the then Assistant Secretary of the In- terior, John M. Reynolds, has just been issued. It embraces leading decisions on the subjects extending from the organiza- tion of (he pension system until the pres- | ent time, and includes decisions by the War and Interior departments, as well as of Attorneys-Genzral and the judicial holdings of the United States Supreme Court and Court of Claims.

PENSIONS e BLIGHTING HE:T IN KANSAS, Half of the Corn Crop of the State Is Destroyed. TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. 2.—Special re- ports were received here to-day from twenty-five points in various parts of the State as to the condition of growing corn and the probable amount of damage by reason of excessive heat and insufficient rain. A summary of the reports shows a heavy loss within the past week, and tak- ing the whole State into consideration the loss will probably be 50 per cent. A con- siderable part of the corn territory has not suffered, for the crop is so well watered as to be out of danger. In the western part of the State hot winds have been blowing, and fully half the acreage has been de- stroved.” McPherson County reports its corn nearly burned up, pasture lands badly scorched and appl ruined. In Reno, Dickinson, Saline and Riley coun- ties not more than half a crop 1s promised and rain is badly needed. Thethermome- ter on Saturday and Sunday ranged from 100 to 109 degrees. In Barton Eounty it reached 118 degrees on Saturday. LR Taw Kiots in Madrid, MADRID, 8pary, Aug. 2.—There have been further troubles here growing out of the people’s disinclination to submit to the octroi tax—a duty levied on provis- ions, ete., which sre broughtinto the city. Te-day most of the shopkeepers in the outlying districts of the city closed their places of business as a protest against the order. The shops which were not closed were atiacked by mobs who smashed the win- dows and fittings. The outlook ugly and strong precautionary measure have been taken by authorities.

SEni A STOCKTON'S PETIY THIEF, == Purse Stolen From the Athletic Aasocia- tion’s Dressing- fioom. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 2.—There is consternation in the Stockton Athletic Association, BSeveral days ago $60 was stolen from Al Brown's trousers pocker. He went out fora row and left the garment hanging in the dressing-room of the club- house, not going to the trouble of putting it into his locker. When he returned his trousers were still hanging where he had left them, but his purse and money wera gone. The emply purse was lving on the floor, having been thrown under a chair. The loss fell heavily upon Brown, as the money was part of that which he was saving to go to Klondyke. He started by train this morning for the frozen gold fields. It is rumored that suspicion has been cast upon a member of the association. ——— Chico diourns Her Dead. CHICO, CAL., Aug. 2.—All that was mor- tal of the late Charles Faulkner, cashier of the Butte County Bank, was laid at rest in the Chico cemetery this afternoon. It had been announced that the services over the remains would be held at 2 o'clock, and long betore that hour friends who had known and loved the deceased so long began to gather. That Charles Faulkner had, during life, drawn to him the universal love and esteem of bis fel- low men was evidenced by the large as- semblage that followed his remains to their last resting place. Rev. A. George, rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, delivered a beautiful tribute to the mem- ory of the deceased. —_— STOCKTON YOUNG MAN'S DISGRACE Daniel Delaney, Em a West Foint Cadet, Confesses That He is a Wheat Thief. STOCKTON, CaAL, Aug. 2. — Daniel Delaney, ayoung man of this city, who years ago won honors and distinction and found himself on the smooth road to success, was this forenoon led into the Sheriff's office by Constable Carroll for temporary detention. He had been steal- ing wheat, the officers learnea of it, and Delaney confessed. It came very close to being a felony, The line of demarkation between petit larceny and grand larceny, the latter being a felony, is $50. A fluctu- ation in the market is the only thing that saved ths young man from having to face State Prison. Wheat prices took a fall just at the time, and the grain stolen was worth only about $48. Delaney stole a load of wheat from Farmer Maggina, who lives six miles from the city, and disposed of it. He is the man who attempted to steal wheat from the Jordan place and was driven off by Mrs. Thorpe and Mrs. Jordan at the point of a pistol, Daniel Delaney several years ago won the appointment to West Point Militery Academy in a competitive. examination. He did not finish the course there, but returned to this city and was married shortly afterwar!. It was reported at the time thatill health was the cause of his leaving the military school. pme e Contractor Hastings Arrested. SACRAMENTO, Can, Auz. 2-—J. M. Hastings, prominent con- tractor of this ecity, was arrested this evening as he was about to board a train for San Francisco, whence be was to embark for the Klondyke gold fields.

Hastings has suffered numerous reverses, and when the Klondyke fever began be announced that he would go to rhe gold fields and there seek to retrieve his shattered for- tunes and pay his debts. a Bt e Sausalito’'s ¥acht Clubs. SAUSALITO, CaL., Aug. 2.—The unit- ing of the Pacific and the San Francisco Yacht clubs will soon take place, To-day the San Francisco Yacht Club was granted leave by Judge Angellotti to mortgage its property on Water street in Sausalito for $2400.

SAN RAFAEL, CaL., Aug. 2—Fire to- day destroyed the home of Mrs. Simions Mirand, who died last week and was buried on Saturday, Mrs, Mirana was al- most 100 years old and had lived in the house for about twenty years. Her body had not been in the grave twenty-four hours before the little house which she had occupied so long near the narrow- gauge depot went up in flames. The loss was nominal, G Conal Company Flume Burned. SACRAMENTO, Can, July 2.—An in- cendiary fire at Gold Ran last nignt destroyed 300 feet of the South Yuba Canal Company’s old water flume, a long stretch of the new flume and three tele- graph poles.

THE JODGE WILL SEE Evidence Relative to Murder Introduced in the Figel Case. The Absence of Several Witnesses for the Prosecution Causes Another Early Adjournment. The thirteenth day of Theodore A. Figel's examination on a charge of em- bezzlement opened the avenue yesterday for the introduction of testimony in re- gard to the charge of murder which also hangs over the defendant. T. R. Hutchinson, a commission mer- chant of this City, resident of Oakland, testified to having met Isaac Hoffman at 7:30 A. M. in Bacramento on May 18, 1897. Witness was not cross-examined. Detective Ross Whitaker testified that he had been detajled by Chief of Police Lees to ascertain the whereabouts of Isaac Hoffman between the dates of May 17 in the morning ana May 18 at night. He went to Bacramento and saw the name L Hoffman, San Francisco, on the reg T of the Golden Eagle Hotel. In answer io an objection by the de- fense, Attorney Ach stated he wished to show that Isaac Hoffman could not have reached this City from Sacramsnto on May 18, 1897, until 8:45 p. M». However the detective was withdrawn. Mrs. Dora Hoffman, widow of the late Isaac Hoffman, was put on the stand by the prosecution to establish the time her husband left home on May 17, 1897, and the hour of his return. “He left me in the morning,” the lady said, ‘‘carrying with him a grin. I knew he intended to go either to Stockton or Sacramento. Heonly remained away one night, returning home May 18, 1897, at 9 P. M. Thisis the only night my husband stayed away from home since his return from New York in January last. We usunlly dined between the hours of 6:15 and 7 P. M., and when in this City my husband always dined at home.” There was no cross-examination. “I' want to inform you gentlemen,’’ de- clared Judge Campbell at this point, “‘that I want to again visit the scene of the kill- ing and I desire to be furnished with a magnifying glass.” “Will the court kindly inform us what he intends to magnify,” asked General Barnes. “I want to examine the bullet holes in the wall to see which way the bullets went. I believe that to be esseniial in this case, but if you gentlemen objeot I will not insist.” “We object to nothing, your Honor,” milaly stated Barnes, “excepting possibly to Mr. Ach.” ‘“Objection sustained,’” gravely said the court. “I would say, however,* resumed Barnes, “I belieye it would best suit tnis case if we waited until we got to that bridge before crossing it.” “Ididn’t know but we would save time by making the examination tbis after- noon, seeing that the witnesses you have called are not nere and it will take some time to get them by attachment.” The arrival of A. Perutz, note teller of the London, Paris and American Bank in March last, for whom an attaciment had been issued, allowed matters to proceed. His testimony, however, had little new in it, peing principally as to Figel's dealings with the bank. _ The case will ing. be resumed in the morn- SLAYS TO SAVE IS MOTHER Richard Griffin Killed by a Plucky Fresno Youth. Attacks Mrs. Carrie Partee and Is Riddled With Bullets. All Partles to the Tragedy Colored People Living In the Negro District. FRESNO, Car., Aug. 2—Elbert Partee, an 1l-year-old bhoy, at an early hour this morning shot and instantly killed Rich- ard Griffin, who had invaded the Partes home and viciously attackeéd Mrs. Carrie Partee, the boy’s mother. All parties to the tragedy, which occurred in the west- ern portion of the city, are colored.” Griffin had been a friend of Partee and his family for some vears. Some time ago, when Mrs, Partee went away from the city, she left Griffin to guard the house. At about 1 o’clock this morning. Gritfin went to the Partee home, and, thumping upon the celiar door, demanded admittance. Mrs. Partee asked him what he wanted and he told her that he wanted his clothes. She reminded him of the un- seasonable hour and tola him to go away aud coms in the morning. He said he wanted to leave early this mornine. Thereupon young Partes, who, with Miss Eliza Baker, was with his mother, opened the door and handed him a lighted lamp. Mrs. Partee told Griffin that he would find his clothing in the cellar. The fellow took the lamp and went into the cellar, where he remained for twenty minuates or more. All the while he was in the cellar he was most profane and made a great noise. He then demanded admittance upstairs, and on being refused became very violent. Mrs. Yartee finally went to the door and declared she would shoot him it he did not go away. He threw the lamp at her and also a handle- less hammer and swore he would kill them all, Neither the lamp nor the hammer hit the woman, and she shot into the floor to scare her assailant. Griffin then rushed upon the woman like a tiger and threw her back upon the bed. They rolled off to the floor, the woman falling face downward and Griffin pinning her down with his knees and resting his full weight upon her. He choked her and fiercely bit her on the neck, leaving the imprints of two sets of teethin her flesh. In the rush he had secured the pistol, for the possession of which a struggle now ensued. Miss Baker seized his left arm and the boy the right hand, securing the pistol. Mrs. Partee was shouting, *Don’t shoct,” fearing the boy might kill her. The nerves of that lad were- too steady for that, however. He watched 'his opportunity and sent two bullets into @Griffin’s body, just below the shoulder blades. Griffin released his victim, arose and ran out. He soon changed his mind and was coming back when the boy fired two more shots, both taking effect in the leit side, one in the region of the heart and the other in the left lobe of the liver. Griffin fell dead a few feet from the door The brute who so deservedly met death was a strapping fellow and 35 years of age, The Coroner’s jury exonerated the lad. 84NTA BAKBARA MOURNS.
