HER DINNER DRESS Awful Death of Miss # Jeannie Moore, a Victim of Fire. Her Garments Ignited From a Blazing Cur- tain — Mrs. Gray Killed by an Explosion. 18S JEANNIE A. MOORE, daughter C.

He rides at % pounds, is less than b feet tall, 23 years of age, and is satisfied to let his record speak for itself. He will ride at the coming indoor tournament in both exhibitions and match races. Michael lost his pet wheel in the wreck which his train suffered a coufle of days ago near San Antonio, Tex. e did not have much to say about it, except to vouchsafe the statement that it was !m‘gshed. but Kennedy, speaking for him, said: “It was about 4 a. m. and our train was running.along at about fifty miles an hour, when she ran on to a siding at a little way station and smashed into an engine that was standing on the siding. Our tender was forced backward clear through our baggage car, and Jimmy’s wheel was smashed to pieces. By the way, it was the first. wheel ever carried over the Sunset Limited. They did not want to take it as baggage in New York, but I urged the importance of his having They will remain here sev- to make it here to begin training on immediately { upon his arrival, and they let it come. | We wish they hadn’t now. Hurst was in his berth and was unconsclous for five hours from the concussion. We thought he was asleep at first. 1 got my head badly bupmped, too.”” Here Kennedy showed in evidence a knob as big as an egg on top of his pate. Michael’s forte Is middle-distance, paced match races. He seldom goes into an open competition event. But beuind a ood triplet or “quad” machine the little ellow can’follow any speed they can set. He raced fifteen times in 1897 at distances of from twenty to thirty-three miles, and won them all. .Michael holds so many world's records it would take a column to enumerate them. And whenever a man can be-found who is fast enough to make him try a little harder, he manages to a success in this line there is no doubt, for if there was ever a man that was fair and square in any game of chance that man'is Timothy Hurst. Only a few days ago he told off the seconds that saw Kid McCoy go down to his first defeat. Tim speaks of the fight in whispers. This is a habit that he contracted on the dia- mond when it was necessary for him to give a close decision against the home team. To begin with, Tim says that it was a great fight, but when asked if the best man won he dropped his voice down to such a low whisper that his reply could not be heard. “It was like this: McCoy had the chance of his_life in that third round, when feinted and then landed on Tom's chin, sending him to the floor. The sailor was a bit groggy, but he hit the floor so hard it brought him to like a flash. There was a second after Sharkey got on his feet when a good blow might have caused the fight to have had a different result, but the Kid did not take advantage of that little second. In my mind, the beginning of the end came in the eighth, when Tom landed ~that chance blow on McCoy's stomach. It took all of the Kid's wind out of him, half of his confidence and one- fourtr of his science. That blow was just like being hit by a 13-inch shell. You see, McCoy was giving away lots of flesh when he consented or agreed to meet Sharkey, and 1. . must remember that the sailor has improved, and he never stopped com- ing at the Kid during the entire fight. ywere the times when he was stopped good and hard, but he did not seem to mind it, and remained fresn under severe unishment.’” P lim was asked what he thought of the Corbett and Sharkey fight that was to have been. He shook his head, but’he was quick to agree that a fight must be a fight and on the square if the sport is to retain its popularity. Tim has no hes- jtancy in saying that he believes if the sailor and Corbett should meet again the public would go to witness the mill, There is one point on -which Timothy Hurst has a lot of good hard sense in his head, and that is that a pugilist has no right to_go on the stage and pose as an actor. He distinctly declares that the ring is the place where the public want to see a fighter. “Do you suppose,” said Tim, ‘“‘that T = @ ADVERTISEMENTS. e i NOVELTY DRESS GOODS.

Well, just reverse my question, and vou know what I think of a prizefighter on the stage posine as an actor.” To-day there is not a man who is more opular with the general public than Tim urst. Everybody was sorry last season when he resignea the indicator to man- age the St. Louis Browns, but there will be great rejoicing this year, for Tim says he is going to get on the diamond again. This was predicted by the Eastern press last October.

Erne Is Matched to Meet Dal Haw- kins Here Early in March. Hurst Tells of Sharkey’s Last Fight. A party of gentlemen of more than ordinary prominence in the sporting | world arrived here late last evening on the belated Sunset Limited and registered at the Palace. J. G. Kennedy of New York, of the firm of Brady, Powers & Kennedy, promoters of theatricals, base- ball, boxing and bicycling, is the leader of the party, and with him are “Jimmy" Michael, better known as “the Welsh Midget,” the champion middle-distance | bicycle rider of the world; Frank Erne, | the crack lightwelght boxer, who Is billed to meet Dal Hawkins here on March 1; Tim Hurst, the famous base- ball umpire and late referee of the Sharkey-McCoy fight, and A. E. Weinig, manager for Michael. This is the first time any one of the five has ever visited this city, and they all come on a combination trip of pleasure and business. Kennedy is one of the pro- moters of the big indoor cycle tourna- ment to be held in the Mechanles’ Pa- vilion from February 11 to 2.. Aside from this he will also manage Erne in any | contests he may be engaged in while here, | A jolller or a more congenial party than | they made as they chatted with a Call re- | porter at their rooms at the hotel after their arrival one would have to go a long rnaby, left New B e heve this week. With them as manager is " Brady, who is also Jim Corbett's manager. Brady is on his Wedding trip, and will also help manage the indoor tournament. “Of the sprinters,” said Kennedy, “we will have Jay Eaton, Teddy Goodman, JtMimy MICHAEL, THE MIDGET CYCLER. Harry Elkes, Tom Cooper, besides Eddie Bald, McFarland and Stevens, who are already here, and I hope the best of your coast men. We think a great deal of the Terrills, Wells, McFarland, Freeman and Ziegler back Kast, and I hope they will get into the competition here. Besides, we will bring out Henry Fournier with his petroleum pacing tandem, the fastest ma- chine ever seen on a track, and for pacing machines, we have with us five uints, four quads and innumerable tan- dems and triplets. 3 Everybody knows Tim Hurst.

Tim Hurst has been identified with base- ball ever since Noah let him out of the ark.

Recently Tim has en- tered the prize ring. Not as a fighter, for Tim_ confines his pugilistic tendencies to_the bellicose ball player, but as the referee of big events. That he has made *Lad .

He can tell more good jokes in five minutes than most peo- ple can in a whole evening. 0 Frank Erne, who represents the boxing end of the party, is a wonder_ in many ways. He is v modest and a quiet little gentleman. He was born in Swit- zerland, but has lived in New York most of his life. He has been fighting since he w 16, and he is now 24. He keeps in the lightweight class, generally fighting at about 130 pounds. He has never been knocked out, and has never been off his feet in a fight. - He was the first man to ever get a decision over George Dixon. Later Dixon reversed the situation by gaining one over him in a twenty-round bout, and in a third meeting a draw was declared. He has fought two draws with George Lavigne, and has knocked out les- ser lights innumerable. Erne expects to 80 into training at once for his fight with Dal Hawkins on March 1. “There is some mistake about the state- ment that they were going to fight before the Olympic Club, I find,” said Manager Kenned “‘and it came about this way. 1 wired Alf Ellinghouse that I had match- ed Erne with Hawkins to fight here, and as Alf belongs to the Olympics I naturally thought he would like to see it pulled off before his club, and therefore told some Eastern ?uwsuaper men_that it would be at the Olympic Club. Now you tell me the Olympics do not pull off professional matches any more. If that is the case any other good club will suit and I am sorry if I used the Olympic’s name un- advisedly. It was all my mistake.” Charles Miller of New York, champion six-day and long-distance rider of the world, arrived also late last evening and is stopping at the St. Nicholas with John st, his trainer. West will be remem- bered as the trainer of Tom Cooper, the sprint racer, for several years past. Mil- ler’s record for six.days is 2008 miles. Teddy Hale and Frank Albert, the two six-day men who came in Friday, made the century ride to San Jose and return yesterday with “Bunt”” Smith, “just to get a bit of exercise,” as Hale ex- pressed it. This city now harbors the three greatest men in cycle racing in the world—Eddie Bald, short-distance champion; Jimmy Michael, middle-distance champion, and Charles Miller, long-distance champion. The local enthusiasts, therefore, look for- ward to some great sport in their line. FIRE DRILL EXHIBITION. An Eastern Ex;errt‘ Watches the Local » Department at Work. The water front, near Mission street wharf No. 2, was alive with firemen yes- terday afternoon. The two fireboats, bat- tery 2 and water-tower No. 2 were all in action. An exhibition drill was under way to show the chief Inspector of buildings in Chicago the workings of Henry Got- ter’s inventions. Chief Sullivan directed the drill, the ob- ject of which was to exhibit the working of Gotter's new water-tower and his now famous battery. Gotter is the head ma- chinist in the Corporation Yard, and is rapldly coming into prominence as an in- ventor of fire apparatus. The visitor was much impressed, and sfiOke commendingly of the celerity and skill of the department in its exhibition performance. ——————— CUT HER OWN THROAT.
