TO PROMOTE GOOD ROADS. Plan Adopted by the League of American Wheelmen. BOSTON, Aug. 17.—The visiting League of American Wheelmen spent another enjoyable day with tours in and out of the city, racing at Charles River Park and a grand smoker this evening in ;\ldl‘cl\flnics' Hall that attracted a tremen- ous crowd and was greatly appreciated. Over 4000 of the members ha\'i"l‘"’oglxlered at headquarters and a large number of the visitors have renewed their member- 'hll& or joined the league. The racing, of course, was the speclal event of the day, but the address of Presi- dent Keenan to the local consuls in the morning was certainly cipal features, and hi: of American Wheelmen from the National uine sensation.

P AUTOPSY PERFORMED s | Fall to the Ring Floor Was Not Fatal. e | Vital Organs of the Fighter Were Diseased and He Should Not Have Entered the Contest. | Dr. J. L. Zabala, autopsy physician, | made this statement last night: “I found severe contusions on Fra- ney's face, shoulders and upper arms. There was a hemorrhage of the brain on the left side, and the organ itself was in an anaemic condition. The man must have received a terrible punishment, and death was nothing more than the result of the blows which rained on his face and head. The impact of the head on the floor had nothing to do with it. He was in a dying condition before he fell. “Franey should never have en- tered the ring. An examination of his lungs showed pleuratic adhe- sions and his system was otherwise broken down. He was fit for practi- cal purposes in life, but certainly not for unnatural exercise.” Jim Franey, the welter-weight pusgilist, who was laid low by Frank McConnell in a rrific fistic battle before the tional Club at Woodward's Pavilion Wednesday night, expired yesterday tetnoon at the Receiving Hospital. An autopsy held last evening on the body of the unfortunate prize-fighter showed that his vital org were diseased; that he was in no condition to enter any ring and rineipally that he had been pummeled and beaten to death by McConnell. J. J. the promoters of Groom and J. D. Gibbs, the event, and McConnell were charged with manslaughter, but are now out on »m the time of the delivery of the knock-out blow Franey did not regain consciousness. On his cot in the Receiv- ing Hospital he lay in lethargic forgetful- S ness, breathing stertorously and mani- festing all the symptoms of brain con ussion. Until Dr. Zabala performed the there arose a grave question as » whother the death-dealing blow was the fierce right-hand swing on the. vul- point of the chin or whether the tion of life was due to the impact 1 with the floor of the ring. The who attended Franey in his t hours would not venture an opinion, laring that either the blow or the fali | might have produced the contusion which | resulted in death. But it was all settled last night. Dr. Lustig. the ph clan of the National Ciub, saia_yesterday: raney received two severe cranfal shocks, either of which, may have been the cause of his death. Symptoms of contusion, compression and concussion ent soon after the fall in which struck his head. -The jarring of | the brain by a powerful blow often pro- es a concussion which proves fatal.” here was a batch of pugilists locked in the City Prison tanks yesterday and visitors kept coming and_going ail day long. McConnell, “Tim" McGrath, J. country held a meeting to-day and dis- bro cussed the establishment of a consul in ach city and town for the purpos promoting good roads, marking s and placing proper signals in b gerous localities. The proposition was ri ved with much favor and steps were | taken looking to the establishment of con- | sulates for the purposes indicated. The racing programme was continued this afternoon at Charles River Park un- der well-nigh perfect conditions, but with only a fair-sized crowd in attendance.

BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN PUTS MEN TO SHAME SAUSALITO, Aug. 17.—Miss Genevieve King, a San Francisco society girl, who has been spending the summer season here with friends, was the heroine of an exciting episode which occurred just as the ferry-boat San Rafael was drawing s | into the slip last evening on the & o'cloek trip from the metropolis. Not only the fearless girl put an end to the brutal torture of a dog by its inhuman master by her action she shamed a_large crowd of men, all of whom appeared to be too cowardly to do more:than protest against the shocking exhibition. Some man whose name could not be Jearned brought a bulldog on board the boat, and near the Sausalito slip the ani- mal got into a fight with another dog and had to be choked to make it releas its Enraged over the fight the bulidog’s owner grasped it by the hind legs and began to hammer the deck of the steamer with its head. At the first blow blood spurted from the Lul! dog's nostrils. Men ran to the scene and began to protest, but all seemed afraid to use physical force to prevent the cru- elty to the animal. Miss King stood with a companion upon the upper deck and for a few seconds was a horrified witness of the scene. Perceiv ing that nobody else would interfere the irl rushed down the stairway and elbow- fng her way through the crowd grasped the man by the arm, : “You inhuman brute!"” she exclaimed, “if you don’t stop such cruel treatment of that poor animal I' will have you ar- rested.” The brutality ceased and the owner of the dog slunk off the boat. followed by the bulldof. which was hardly able to walk. A faint cheer from the auditors again excited Miss King's wrath, and she gave the men present a tongue lashing for having left the work of interference to a woman. A more crestfallen crowd of men it would have been hard to find. 1 to .

Ever since the meet- | ing began it has been a case of horserac- | ing from start to finish, and to-day was no exception to the rule. The day was fine | and the track fast, and spectators were present from everywhere. The first race was the Pacific Breeders' | Futurity, mile and repeat, trotting, for a purse of § There were five entries: J. B. Iversen's Dagmar. D. E. Knight's Eula | Mac, E. P. He: Tom Smith, G. Y.

Hogoboom s up. behind Eula Mac, and he sent her through in good shape, ‘winning the first heat in 2:28 and the second in 2:%8%. The horses came in the same order both times, Vendome following Eula Mac, and Boodie Boy, Dagmar and Tom Smith making up the procession in the order named. The 2:25 pace, best three in five, for a purse of §1000, was the next called. The fact that Roblet, the fine bay mare be- longing to W. H. Lumsden of this city, was among the entries, made the race of especial interest to Santa Rosans present. | The start was bad, however, and at the quarter the mare was pulled off her feet. She ran like a deer, but in getting down business lost heavily, and with Gaft Topsail and Captain Hackett shut out in the first heat. H. W. W gelding Clipper scored in 2: In the second heat Clipper took the lead | and held it all the way around, finishing in 2:13.
