Charles Moth, the Graco-Roman wrestler
writes the GLOBE that he is anxious to meet
Muldoon, and will come to MINNEAPOLIS to
wrestle him as soon as the San Francisco
tournament ends, providing Muldoon will
post forfeiture sufficient to defray all ex-
penses. The letter bears date May Is, and
states that Moth can leave for Minneapolis in
six weeks. Consequently the match could
occur the latter part of July or the first of
August, if Muldoon is willing to wrestle.
Arrangements have been made for Cardiff
and Dempsey to meet June Z, at the Washing
ton rink, after the latter has faced John l..
Sullivan at Chicago. The match will prob
ably be for either six or eight rounds.
Jack Dempsey said last night that the Min
neapolis sports at first guaranteed him 81 900
to meet Cardiff and then cut it down to $780,
Dempsey won't fight for this, but if he is
guaranteed 81 900 he will meet him.
Hanlon expressed great satisfaction on re-
ceiving Bachs acceptance of his challenge.
He has not yet decided when he will start for
England, but it is probable he will go the first
week in July.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 20.-Col. John
b. Folsom of Folsomdale, Wyoming
county, died at his home in that place this
afternoon. Col. Folsom was 73 years
of age. He was very active, enterprising
man, by which means he had accumulated
comfortable fortune. OF late he had suf-
fered much from rheumatism. He was an
uncle of Benjamin Folsom and the father
of the late Oscar Folsom. His grand
daughter. Miss frankie Folsom is President
Clevelands bride-elect. Col. Folsom
was one of the most success
full farmers of Wyoming county, and
one Of the oldest residents of the town Of
Sheldon, in which Folsomdale is situated.
President Cleveland was never intimate
with the old gentleman. and it is not
supposed he will attend the funeral. Buff
falonians consider the purchase of a home
in Washington by President Cleveland
as direct reply to their refusal to give him
majority in his last election, and not
few of them feel the retort keenly, for he
has very warm friends here. 1t is said that
he vowed never to live here again when he
found that the city had gone for Blaine,
and this step appears to be i'll confirmation
OF that express Intention.

OMAHA, Neb., May 2O.-The announce
ment of the death of Col John B. Folsom
of Folsomville. N. Y, created considerable
surprise in Omaha where several of his
relatives live. Col. Folsom owned an un-
divided half interest in the estate OF his late
brother, Benjamin R. Folsom, valued at over
$500, 600, consisting of Omaha real estate.
The estate now goes to the heiress and as
Miss frankie Folsom, the intended bride OF
President Cleveland. was the fayorite
grandchild of Col. Folsom. she will
very likely receive the bulk of one-half
of the Folsom estate in Omaha The heirs
to the one half left by B. r. Folsom are his
children, n. r. Folsom, and Mrs. Helen
Ferris, of Omaha. and young Ben Folsom,
a lawyer Of Buffalo, who is now travelling
with Miss frankie Folsom and her mothes
in Europe

JAEHNE's SENTENCE.

New York is to be congratulated upon
the possession of a judge who does not fear
to do his duty. The sentence of Alderman
JAEHNE to nine years and ten months i'm
prisonment is eminently proper. New
York's municipal government has for some
time stood sadly in need of purifying, and
the sentence of JAEHNE will do much to
bring about the desired result 1t is an in
dication that the people have had expert
ence enough Of TwEEDIsM and do not pro-
pose to allow its further growth. 1t is
also an indication, as Judge BARRETT so
appropriately observed, that honesty is yet
regarded by the people of New York as
the best policy, and that they intend
to enforce its observance by their
public officials. There are other convic-
tions to follow that of JAEHNE, and al
though several of the guilty aldermen have
secured safe hiding places in Canada,
and are therefore probably beyond the reach
of punishment beyond that entailed in their
enforced exile. still the lesson has been
taught and cannot fail to have its effect. If
there is any virtue in the salutary example.
it may be expected that hereafter New
York will possess city government whose
strict rectitude will refute the latter half
of the assertion often made that it is the
best managed and worst governed city in
the world"

The Minnesota cricket Club.

There were thirty gentlemen present at

posals from the proprietors of the old base

mis- knees and wanted to shake hands and

MS knees and wanted to shake hands and
call it the wind up, as he claimed he had
agreed to spar only four rounds. Dempsey
Claimed the agreement called for five rounds,
and he gave Norton an upper cut that
caught him on the nose and the blood flowed
freely. This was Dempsey's round, and he
fought Norton all over the ring, knocking him
against the ropes and hammering him at will,
but Norton refused to go out, and when time
was called he sank into his chair rather
bloody, but in fair condition. He took Off his
gloves and refused to light an-
other round, as he had agreed to
stand up only four rounds. Dempsey main
tanned that the agreement called for five
rounds, but Norton wouldn't fight and as the
agreement was not forthcoming the referee
decided that il the agreement called for four
rounds Norton had won, If it called for five
rounds he had lost as he failed to come to the
front when time was called for the fifth
round.
This created feeling among the specta-
tors and the fighters, but the police put in
an appearance and the people soon left the
rink, Norton made a good fight, and de-
serves credit for the plucky manner in
which he stood his punishment, but it was
the general impression that Dempsey could
have knocked him out easily in the third
round

THE SEASON OPENED.

Though somewhat early the summer re-
sort season may be considered fairly
opened. The inevitable yacht catastrophe
has been reported-this time from Coney
Island-and five persons have become vic
tins to an amateur and inexperienced
sailors carelessness. Minnesota is state
peculiarly liable to be the scene of accidents
in this form of outdoor sports. Thousands
of visitors annually visit her many delight
full lakes, and hundreds of them are unable
to resist the fascination of skimming over
the surface OF the lakes in more or less
cranky catrigs and sailboats. While with
there is no more safe or more pleasant
method of taking an outing than sailing, it
is yet an incontrovertible fact that the
average man fancies himself quite compe-
tent to manage a small yacht, and the
average owner of yachts to let is over
ready to allow the first-comer to hire them.
Under these circumstances many persons
were intrusted with boats who know no
more about their management than they do
Of bucking broncho. Then the sport be-
comes dangerous in the extreme. 1t is safe
to say, indeed, that most of the accidents
which annually occur through the capsizing
of sailboats are due to inexperienced or
careless sailors. at the different Mime
sofa lake resorts, particularly, provision
should be made against permitting boats to
go out, except in charge of competent men,
unless their owners are satisfied that the
would-be sailors understand the art. Some
such precaution may seem uselessly restrict
i've, but it is better to err on the side of
safety than to render possible any repeti-
ton of the sailing casualties which have
unhappily have been too numerous upon
Minnesota lakes.

Miraculous Escape of n L Dung Lady
From u Watery Grave.

From u Watery Grave.
Special to the Globe.
ST.. JOHNS, N. F., May 20.-St Georges
bay, on the west coast of New Foundland,
telegraphs the following ocean episode: A
French vessel arrived here yesterday from
st. Malo, bound to Port Au Yoix. She
came for the purpose of landing Miss Louise
Journeaux, who was picked up from an
open boat some twenty miles at
sea off the island of Jersey.
The lady, with gentleman companion,
went boating on Sunday evening, the 18th
of April. after leaving church. While row.
ing the gentlemen let one oar slip, and in
attempting to recover it lost the other.
Being good swimmer, he instantly Jumped
overheard to recover the oars. The wind,
meantime, was fresbening. There was also
strong curreut setting in from the lake.
The boat was fast drifting beyond his
reach, and he was compelled either to
swim for the land or sink. Miss Journeaux
alone in the boat drifted to sea. The boat
almost filled with water, and for forty
hours she lived in solitary state. At length
she was rescued by the French vessel. on
board of which she received great kindness
from the captain and officers. The violent
off-shore wind prevented the Frenchmen
from reaching Jersey, ad the lady was car
ried across the Atlantic to New Foundland.
The gentleman, Mr.. Farne, reached st.
HiIaire's harbor safely, but his story was
disbelieved. People from the shore affirm
that they heard cries of murder from sea.
Farne was arrested and indicted for homi-
eide. His liberation is of course certain.

MINISTER PENDLETON,S WIFE.
The Unfortunate Lady Instantly
Killed.

NEW YORK. May 20.-AIrs. Alice Pendle-
ton, wife of United States Minister to
Berlin, George II. Pendleton, was thrown
from her carriage in Central park this
afternoon and almost instantly killed. Mrs.
Pendleton was 81 years old and came
from Berlin less than two months ago
with her daughter, Miss Jane Frances PEN
dleton, to attend the funeral of her daugh-
ter.-in-law, Mrs. Frank K. Pendleton, who
lived at No. 1O5 East Thirty-fifth street.

were proceeding through Central Park the
horses became unmanageable and
ran away, dragging the driver

the two ladies becoming frightened leaped
from the carriage, one from each side, the
elder lady striking on her head and receiv-

ground. She was taken up and carried
to the Presbyterian hospital. The body of
Mrs. Pendleton was borne to the arsenal
station in the park and thence after an in

William MuldoOn and Matsada Sorakichi
will meet tonight at Leland rink, Mime
apolis, in Graco-Roman wrestling match
that will undoubtedly be one of the most
Interesting sporting events of the season.
by the terms of the contract, Muldoon is
to throw the Jap three times in an hour, to
win the match. If the latter wins one fall
in that time he is to be the winner. 1t is
believed Muldoon has big contract ON his
hands and will make superhuman efforts to
win. The Jap is confident of winning a
fall, and both men are losing no time in
hard training. Muldoon will be down from
White Bear this afternoon and will turn up
in good condition, but heavier than usual.
The Jap is training at the gymnasium and
is pronounced in perfect trim.

mendable. When it takes the direction of
fancying that superficial acquaintance
with foreign countries more than compen-
safes for lack of knowledge regarding the
attractions of ones native land, it is not so
praiseworthy. America possesses scenery
second to no country in the world, yet it
may well be doubted whether 1.-THE
of those people crossing the Atlantic
this year have ever seen Niagara, while it is
equally doubtful if half that many have
visited Yellowstone Park. In fact. Ameri-
cans abroad have frequently observed, it is
to be hoped to their modification, that
foreigners of means are better acquainted
with points and places of interest in
America than Americans themselves. 1t
is to be hoped that fashion, generally re-
sponSibe for freaks of travel, will decree
the propriety of knowing ones own country
before flying to ills unknown across the
water. Anticipating the coming of the era
of common sense the Northwest would like
to respectfully submit that she possesses,
from Wisconsin to the Pacific coast, natural
attractions which challenge competition.

COMING CONFIDENCE.
A st. Paul Brakeman Arrested as q
Confidence Man.

Another confidence game worked at the
union depot was reported last night. Some
one boarded the outgoing Northern Pacific
train last evening and got off at the Fourth
street tunnel with $500 which he had
f1eeced from passenger. Edward
kaebel, brakeman, recently dis
charged from the employ of the
Minnesota & Northwestern company and
about three years ago discharged from the
Northern Pacific road on suspicion of con-
fidence work, was arrested. The case yes
terday was reported to the police depart
ment, and Officer Pat Gibbons was detailed
to hunt the man up. After several hours
search Kaebel was found at his residence,
229 Bates avenue, to which he had recently
moved from his former residence in West ST.
Paul. He had shaved his mustache.
He is man about so years of age and has
wife and one child. His wife has not
yet learned the charge on which he has
been arrested.

crook, Jackson, who was sent from Mime
apOlis last winter with two of his pals

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, May 2O.-The inmate
of the female hospital was thrown into con-
fusion yesterday afternoon by hasty sum-
mons from DR.. Hurlbert. the superintendent,
to Yacate the east wing of the building and
seek more secure quarters in the western
wing. The occasion of the cemmotion was
the swaying of the main floor and the
cracking of the eastern wall, which has
been in shaky condition for some time,
with every indication of general crash.
The attendants succeeded in removing the
inmates in the exposed portion, when
shortly afterward portion of the wall fell.
There in the hospital at the time about 200
patients, about one-third of whom were in
the endangered section, and had the acct
dent come unawares serious loss of life
might have occurred. AS it was, no one
was injured. The inmates are now crowded
into one wing of the hospital, which has the
capacity of holding comfortably about one
third of the number now in it.
