Company at Elizabethport, N. J., and neighboring plants and lumber ydrds. The plant was partly destroyed on tke night of February 27, causing a loss 75,000. The second fire began at the same hour from the same cause—spontaneous combustion. Spreading into the main plant, which consists of eight or ten buildings and a dozen big oil tanks, the fire became so hot that the firemen could only bend their efforts toward keeping it within bounds. Two tanks exploded, spreading their blazing contents in all directions. Fortunately the wind was blowing from the northwest, carrying the flames and ignited oil into Staten Island Sound. Two schooners were taken out into the sound to escape the burning oil that drifted across the water. Rivers of burning oil began flowing after the explosion in all directions across the property of the company, which fronts on the water's edge. A change of wind would have carried the fire directly into Elizabethport and probably caused great loss. zabeth, of nearly il + = — nor fear of the law. { i o ss or Jan?” inquired Judge Ca- baniss when the name of Katsuoni Kobacyaski, accused of- having dis- turbed the peace of Grant avenue, had been laboriously spelled out by the clerk. “I am a Jap-an-ese,” was the de- fendant's indignant answer, | “Then what do you mean by having that ‘ski’ at the terminus of your sur- name?”’ demanded the Judge. “No true- blue subject of the Mikado would have | anything in his name so suggestive of Slav ancestry as ‘ski.’ Come here again Monday and I'll tell you more of what 1 think about you.” ) | i . | A white spitz dog was the bone of a | contention between two Armenians in | Judge Cabaniss’ court. Charles Courian | alleged that he had the dog in his pos- | session on Post street when Thomas H. | Kullujian emerged from his store and | snatched the animal, claiming it was | his property. As the dog was ill, Cou- | rian explained, he did not try to r | cover it by force, but had Kullujian ar- | rested by Police Officer Maloney, who | witnessed the occurrence. After the | case had been exhaustively argued Kul- | lujian was ordered to restore the dog to Courian and advised to begin civil ‘prnceedlngs for its recovery if he still | yearned to possess it. i Richard Moore, charged with bur- | g1ary, pleaded gullty of petty larceny | and was sentenced to five months’ im- | { prisonment by Judge Cabaniss. Mrs Nelson, a corpulent lady, caught him | in the act of robbing her apartments in the Prescott House, and, after knocking him down, she sat upon him until the police arrived. S sl Peter J. Smith shot and killed a dog that was playfully pursuing his chick- ens across for discharging firearms within the city limits. The defendant claimed that he had a perfect right to protect his feathered property, but Judge Fritz opined that the dog had just as much right as the chickens to run at large, and then he ordered Peter to appear for sentence to-morrow. P | pines, was unable to explain how he! | became drunk night before last, as he | | had not received his pay. In dismiss- | ing the case Judge Fritz advised the | soldier to take care of his money when | { he gets it, as the city is full of traps for the unwary defender of his country | who has cash in his pocket. | “Leave your pay at the Presidio when you decide to come to town,” | said the court, “or, if you prefer to| bring it with you, turn a deaf ear to the many persons-who will be ready to | extend the right hand of fellowship. The soldier never realizes how many putative friends he has until he has pay in his pocket.” s e Police Sergeant Helms accused Amos ‘Buffum, chauffeur, of speeding his auto at a fifteen-mile-an-hour clip on the south driveway of Golden Gate | Park, and Judge Fritz fined Amos $5. « e e John J. Heaney, a machinist, and his wife were legally divorced, and the court awarded the custody of their minor child to the mother and ordered the father to contribute $10 a month to its support. Instead of doing so, however, John became an 1idler, and the mother appealed to Judge Fritz to compel him to obey the court's de- | cree. Judge Fritz told John that if he | did not pay the woman $10 within a week he would be sent to jail, and yes- | terday the money was paid. Then the} Judge advised John to make the pay- ments as they became due, even though he were compelled to work to obtain the money. E3 ot SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS!

It is hard for a little scrapper like him to give them up, yet his chief advisers will not stand for them any more, and from now on until the night of his battle with Britt the featherweight champ will have to take to the highways for his work and his pleasure, Harry Tuthill, after a long analysis of the Corbett question, finally decided that the Denver star had quite enough of work with the mitts apd the other things that are generally found in So he held a ‘tonsultation with Tim McGrath and jointly they agreed upon the terms by which Corbett would have to condition himself within the remaining few days. When the little man awoke yester- day morning and partook of a sub- stantial breakfast, he was sent out for his usual run, though the rain was coming down faster than Pat Mor- rissey ever galfoped through the home stretch. He was game and went the digtance in good time, arriving in due season for the rubdown and the luncheon he enjoys. The remainder of the midday was spent in a few games of bridge and a loll around the place. Although the weather was extra juicy, a big crowd gathered at the tavern in the hope of seeing the champion go through his paces, and great was the disappoint- ment when it was given out that noth- ing would be doing. When the clock struck the hour of three, the champ took to the Ingleside road while the rain was breaking through the heavens so fast that no one could tell just what the speed limit was. He was attired in a leathern coat, two extra suits of underclothes and shoes that were guaranteed to be just the things for such a storm. He went the eight miles and return in good time and came back all in a glow. Then he was treated to a whole- some rubdown and ' after that was ready for any kind of a good-looking Full Page in the NEXT SUNDAY CALL. — meal that might be passed out. This will probably be his work twice a day until the hour of the battle with Britt. The last time he put on the mitts with Monte Attell he injured his left hand 'CORBETT CUTS OUT INDOOR WORK CISE ON THE ROAD Trainers Give Out the Information That He!tneir naw. in Bout With Monte tt Is in High Spirits —_— just a wee bit, but it was enough to put his trainers on their guard, and | they will permit the champion to do little or no gymnasium work now till he is ready for the ring. ‘With to-day ends Jimmy Britt's last Sunday at his training camp in Ala- meda, and a great number of the friends of the challenger for the 130- pound championship ¢f the, boxing world will visit the island city to make a critical survey of the wonderful little fighting machine that is to clash with that other marvelous battering ram, Young Corbett. Britt, under the supervision of his shrewd trainer, Spider Kelly, will be- gin to-morrow the real work of taking off the three pounds that have kept him above the contract weight for ten days past. This extra avoirdupois will not be removed in a day, nor in three days, but will be separated from its present owner by scientific and gradual means, so that there will be no impairment of the strength nor the ‘'stamina of Corbett’s next opponent. Roadwork to improve Jimmy's breath- ing organs will be an important part of the few days that remain for him in which to prepare himself for the struggle of his career. Inclement ¥eather kept Britt indoors yesterday more than usual, but it did not have any noticeable effect on his spirits. He went through the gymna- slum drill with the vim that has all along characterized his preliminary ex- ercising and at the windup tipped the beam close to 133 pounds. The Corbett people were willing to bet 10 to 7 yesterday, but there were few takers. The sale of seats continued yester- day and cast in the shade all previous records of this character. ———————— The Austrian Minister of the Infe- Korean Navy Had One Boat.

The American Inventor reports a new system of railway operation, de- scribed as a device for running cars without wheels. Instead, a series of skates or slippers are attached to the bottom of the car; between the skates and the rails, a thin stream of water is forced from a jet, creating a slight film, on which the car runs. It is as- serted that by this method the track resistance is reduced, so that less run- | ning power is needed; a smoother mo- tion is also secured, resulting in less wear and tear both of the car and of the rails. The train is run by electric motors, operating a friction wheel, which moves on a third rall between the two outer rails. —_—————— Would Make Others Work.
