Fiich for the purpose of nusting the board from office. Mr. Fitch accuses them of malfeasance in office for failing to fix the water rates in the month of Feb:uary, as r quired by law. | tnrew cold water on San Francisco, as I said before, is a good ! town for ‘good’ things.” One of the mosit amusing pugilistic turns recently accomplished by the know- ing ones to baffle weak-eyed :ports of this City is the announced consummation of a twenty-round fight for §$20,000 between Thomas Sharkey and Peter Maher, both of whom claim tue heavy-weight cham- pionship of Ireiand. P Any person who is at all versed in fisti- cuffs can see into the heart of the scheme without the aid of an X-ray. Dan Lynch, during nis tojourn in the East, held several meetings with Maher's manager and they agreed that as boxing was “knocked” in the KEastern cities the only place open to a money-making scheme was San Fraucisco. Connolly, who is Maher’s backer, fa- vored a finish fight in Carson, but Lynch that proposition right away by informing his friend Con- noliy that a fight between Maher and Shaikey in Carson or Reno would not draw a corporal’s guard. Lynch had seen the Corbett and Fitz- simmons mill and was fearfully disap- pointed with the financial result. “Surely,”” said Lynch, “if the big fel- lows lost money on the venture, where in the name of Klondyke will Maher and Siarkey get off?2’ Connolly finally got to Lynch's way of thinking and the fight promoters con- cluded to pull off the mill in the good “sucker’” city of the far West. Lynch then journeyea to San Francisco and completed his plans. He interested men who are iriends of some of the Super- visors in the scheme and when smooth sailing was assured a club, called the Knulckerbocker Sporting Club, was born, with Mr. Abrahams of San Francisco as ‘Western agent. Lynch, having completed this part of the arrangement, shipped for New York again, and after a few days’ rest in the great Eastern metropolis he received—per arrangement, of course—a dispatch from the Knickerbocker Ciub of San Francisco cffering $20,000 for a twenty-round fight between Maher and Sharkey. Most assuredly he accepted of the offer in behalf of Mr. Sharkey and Mr. Con- nolly did likewise 1n behalf of Mr. Maher. Articles of agreement were drawn up here and it is to be presumed that they swill be acceptable to the principals and 11 concerned 1n the scheme. The name of the referee is not men- tioned in the document, but it is sale to say that a referee will be selected who will | be acceptable to Messrs. Maher and Shar- key, after, of course, they will bave had a little “‘one act” agreement over the gentle- men. It is said that Mr. Maher would be pleased to have Geo:rge Siler and that Mr. Lynch is in favor of some local man. A letter was received yesierday by a local sport from a parlicular friend of Jim Corbett, which stated that Corbett has been keeping himself 1n splendid physical condition and that Billy Brady had com- pleted arrangements with Martin Julisn for a return mzich between Corbett and Fuzsimmons and that the battle wiil take place in Carson City some time in the latter part of October. As the grassis running short on ihe champion’s lawn, a reiurn match between Bob and Jim is not | out of the question. BUILDING .TRADES' COUNCIL, They Want Representation the Charter Committee.

Burnt Sugar Coloring ... Syrup....... Spring Val ley Water Suct was the mixture labeled ‘‘Pure | Califorma Grape Brandy,” which Chief Food Inspector Dockery attempted to de- stroy before it was sbipped out of this State on May 21 of this year. There were eight blends of this mixture, amounting to 105 barrels, or 8315.16 tax gallons, at 114 proof, and they are now on the way to London. Added to this were 2400 gallons of water, 4 gallons of coloring matter and 148 gallons of syrup, on which there is no internal revenue tax. -At $1 80 per gallon, the price at which the stuff was sold, there would be 2400 gallors of water, which, at $180, woud give §4320 for the water alone. These were the interesting facts pro- duced vesterday at the examination of Chief Food Inspector James P. Dockery before United States Cemmissioner Hea- cock. P. J. Dunne appeared as coun- sel for the inspector and Deputy Dis- trict Attorney Schlesinger for the Govern- ment. The charge against Mr. Dockery was interfering with John H. Wise, Col- lector of the Port, on the 2ist of May of this year. Naval Officer Irish and Oscar Lewis | were present, on behalf of the l\hnulac-i turers’ Association, and took much inter- est 1n the’ proceedings. The testimony did not bring out anythiug new so far as | Mr. Dockery’s action in the matter was concerned. The most interesting point in the proceedings was the filing of an ex. hibit of the report made by L. Osborne, | storekeeper for the Manufacturers' bonded warehouse No. 1, to Devnuty Collector | John J. Tobin, dated May 14. ~ The report | states that Orborne had delivered to the proprietors for manufacture fiiteen bar- rels of California Vina brandy and eighty- five barrels of spirits from Willow Springs, | Colorado. The report then states: “After the deiivery of the goods to the | proprietors on May 11, 1897, they pro- | ceeded to blend or mix the same in a tub | with a capacity of about 1000 gallons, | using the different ingredients in about the following propertions: | 1074 bblis. spirits, about 505 gals., at 189 | To0I. *2 bbls. brandy, about 80 gals,, atv 104 proof. *2 quarts coloring—burnt sugar. 1814 gals. syrup. ‘'308 gals. water. “There were eight blends made produc- ing 105 bb!s. (8315,16 tax gals.). The ba; rels were branded on the heads with sten- cil and brush as follow ** ‘PURE CALIFORNTA GRAPE Braxpy. U. 8. Boxpep. MG WAREHOUSE, SBAN FRANcisco. T H F. F.D.&B., Loxpox, ENeLAND.” | “The mixture was reporied to me as be- ing 114 proof, and is to be shipped to Lon- | don, England, as shown.” The defense took the ground that when Dockery inserted his auger into the bar- rels of this fake brandy in the Southern Pacific freight cars the seals of the United States Custom-house had not been placed on the cars and there was nothing visibie to show that the *‘goods’’ were in bond. This fact Mr. Dunne succeeded in prov- ing. The other point relied upon is that the statutes of the United States require that the signature of the Naval Officer must be added to that of the Collcctor of | the Port before any goods can be shipped from this State to a place outside, and that no power, except Congress, has au- thority to suspend the law, and then only by suspending or repealing it. The examination will be resumed at 10 o’clock next Thursday morning. A SWITCHMAN INJURED. Thomas Marre Knocked Down by a Boxcar at Fourth and Townsend. Thomas Marre, 2 switchman on the Southern Pacific Railroad, met with a serious accident last evening at Fourth and Townsend streets. He was shunting some boxcarsinto a siding and jumped off a carin front of another car that was running into the siding. Before he could get out of the way he was knocked down and the wheels passed over his right leg, fracturing both bones, & The ambulance was summoned, but Marre refused to go to the Receiving Hos- bital.

IS FINGERS WERE TORN OFF Harry Hoffman’s Remark- able Escape on the Beulah. Sailing of the Mail Company’s China Under the Hawaiian Flag. German Emigrants on the Ship Glade Had Their Food Thrown to Them Like Hogs. A pecullar accident took place on the bay yesterday. The schooner Beulah is unloading railroad ties into a vessel in the stream and Harry Hoffman was handling the guide-rope and an extra heavy load ran away with nim. He was afraid to let go for fear of doing some damage to the vesse!, and in consequence his hand was drawn into the coils on the stanchion. The nails on four of the fingers were torn off and the end of the second finger on the right hand went alto- gether. The injured man was rowed ashore in the schooner’s boat and was treated at the Water-front Receiving Hcspital by Dr. Hil. The Pacific Mail Company’s China sailed for the Orient yesterlaj. She took away a number of passengers and a very beavy freight. For the first time she went out under the Hawaiian flag. The E. K. Wood Company is building a new four-masted schooner for the coasting trade. She will be named the Defiance and will be one ot the largest vessels of her kind in the lumber business. The old-time bark Richard III has seen her last days as a “wind-jammer.” Her masts are gone, the hull has been cut down and now the remains have been turned into a hulk. She will be taken to Departure Bay and there loaded with coal, after which she will be towed to San Francisco. The whole thing isa gamble. Stould the cost of this mode of transport- ation be as cheap as by tramp steamer it will be continued. 1f not, the Richard I1I will remain in the bay of San Francisco. The Umatiila arrived from Puget Sound ports last night, She was delayed twelve hours at Seattle on account of the inabil- ity of the officers of the company to se- cure men to load the vessel. All the long- shoremen were en route to Klondyke and the mills at Everett were practically idie because there were no men to run the machinery. *Klondyke is king,” was the remark made by Senator Perkins when spoken to abou: the late arrival of the steamer. “If we cannot get men to han- dle the cargo wecannot make time. Everything will be all right, however, on the return trip of the Puebla and there will be no more delays.” The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Auas- tralia arrived irom Honolulu Wednesday, bringing a day’s later news than that Everything was quiet and the only warships there were the American cruisers Pniladelphia and | Marion, the Japanese cruiser Naniwa and the British survey steamer FPenguin. Everybody was on the tiptoe of excite- ment in expectation of the Oregon. A line-of-battie ship has never visited Hono- iulu and the people of the islend republic are more than anxious to have a look at one of them in their own waters. While the Australia was in Honolulu the German ship Glade arrived with over 1500 emigranfs. The proposiiion is to supply the sugar plantations with Ger- mans and people‘of other nationalities to the exciusion of Chinese and Japanese cheap labor. 1f the stories told by the passengers and crew of the Australia are irue very few more Germans will leave | Antwerp for the paradise of the Pacific. From what they say the usual procedure at breakfast time was for the cook to make his way through a skylight in the galiley to the roof. Crowding around the galley were all the men, women and chil- dren comprising the emigrant gang. Basketful aiter basketful of bread was cut up by the cook and his assistants, and was thrown to ths men, women and children, just in the same manner as corn is scattered to chickens. I: wasthena case of every man for himseli, and the “devil take the hindmost.”” At dinner time the corned beef wae cut up and | served in the same manner. The emi- grants were not allowed to land in Hono- fulu, but were shipped to the various vlantations on the inter-island steamers. Captain Ankers, who ran the San Juan on arock off the the Mexican coast dur- ing a dense fog, has resigned his com- mand. A new rule in the Pacific Mail Steamship Company makes it absolutely necessary for every officer to resign when any accident happens to his ship when ke iscommand. The Eureka Society.
