and I'm going to lay We out afore I go
back to me work."
Il d-dOn't want to fight" stammered
Cornelius, his teeth chattering with
fright.
Flight We must, and quick, too" con-
tinued the bully, feeling easy as to the
result of the scrimmage, as he advanced
ferociously upon his unwiedly antag-
onist.
Cornelius was too big to run and too
cowardly to fight, but he had to defend
himself, so doubling up his huge fist he
struck one blow at his opponent and fled
from the scene as rapidly as his size
would allow, without even looking back.
The ~bystanders heard a crunch, such
as a battering ram might make as it
strikes a board wall. Then they saw a
tall and angular Irishman spring back
ward half a dozen feet into the air and
fall to the ground like a log. They
Went to him and found thai his face
had been crushed almost to a pulp. His
nose was tlattened and his jaw shattered.
T~helbully had been altogether unpre-
pared for the blow, and the entire
weight OF the two giants met at the end
OF Cornelius arm. That established
the prowess Of the Pike county man
even If it did not do so much for his
courage, and from that time on he was
never cOaNed into another fight.
While he was extremely cowardly,
Cornelius would never allow any dis
turbance in his hotel. One day. when
he was sitting in his big armchair by
the open window, a drunken guest be-
came unduly boisterOus, and refused to
go out when Cornelius requested him to.
WhercupOn the host caught the man
by the nape of his neck and seat of his
trousers, and. without stirring from his
chair, tossed him through the window,
over the porch and into the gutter on
the other side of the pavement.
1t was always n matter of curiosity
among his acquaintances to learn his
exact weight, and many were the tricks
resorted to to ascertain the figures. But
none was ever successful. Cornelius
was in the habit of visiting this city
once or twice a ear to buy goods. On
one occasion some clerks placed q big
armchair on Il pair OF scales and in
vlted him to sit down, but before the
weights could be adjusted he discovered
their purpose and hastily left the store,
never to return.
Cornelius suffered greatly from the
heat. In summer time his favorite rest
ing place was in the hotel cellar, and
in the severest winter weather he was
accustomed to walk around the streets
in his shirt sleeves. In character he
was extremely modest and retiring. He
d%isliked, above all things, TO be re-
garded as Il curiosity, and the greatest
anger he even felt was caused by the re-
ceipt of a flattering offer from Barnum
to exhibit himself in the Broadway
museum.
He had three sons and five daughters,
one OF whom weighed over Ave hundred
pounds at her death. One OF his sons
was afterward sheriff Of Pike county,
and while he was a giant in height
and strength, was not abnormally stout.

cnce Of THE BEE.l-The City of the

healthy, breezy excitement as the ocean
yacht race of last Saturday. Tho a

vessels were the America, a pilot boat
built by Matthew Turner, OF Benicia.

of his yacht Chispa, and the sealing
schooner G.. Fl. White, built by Charles
G.. White, of North Beach, which is a
highly odoriferous part OF San Fran

gulls, who ONE there to pick up the

because Henry Meiggs, the Peruvian
millionaire, had a wharf there, which
has never been repaired since the year
he ran away a ruined man. There was
quito q bitter feeling between the two
builders, who have been victorious over
each other several times, and as the

was much excitement over the match.
Each builder had a host of friends who
oOincided in the sentiment that money
talks, and planked down their twenty
dollar gold pieces quite freely. The
genuine Californian always wages gold
coin. from habit probably, and because
he has q love OF the shining metal dat
ing from old times. The race was about
fifty miles from the lighthouse out to
h smallest Of the Farallone islands,
q mere rock, round it, and back again,
and it was won by the America, which
beat the sealing schooner by foui
miles.
A PROSPECTS FOR COAL.
The incoming steamers from Aus
trulia brought bad news with regard
10 the great coal strike there. So fal
from any attempt at settlement masters
and men are more embittered against
each other than ever, and 500 men EN-

strike, were summarily discharged, {

SARAH ALTHEA SHARON TERRY STILL
LIVELY.
Mrs. Judge Terry was released from
imprisonment to-day for her contempt
Of court. The m ran that she would
be Immediately rearrested on some one
Of the indictments found against her.
But the indomitable lady is by no means
denuded Of friends, o has she lost any
of the pluck for which she is notorious.
During her retirement she sent a COM
municatiOn to a morning paper here, in
which she strongly denies that she drew
a pistol from her satchel, affirming that
the satchel itself was not in her keeping
at the time being in the hands OF Porter
Ashe, the ~well-known racing man. She
declares that the case then before the
court was simply on the motion to sub
Stitute the name of Frederick Sharon
Uhe SOM for William Sharon, and that
the tissue of abuse INDUCED in by the
counsel and directed against her was
part Of a conspiracy to irritate
her so that she might lose her
temper, and might be attacked
by the officials of the court as actually
' happened, and that she had received
verbal permission from a former mayor
OF San Francisco to carry a pistol, and
was forced to do SO in her " License.
Sarah Althca is not to be subdued by
such IL little thing as u months i'm
prisonmeut, and if she can only half
make out her charge hat the whole
scene was carefully pre-arranged in the
interests of Frederick Sharon it will
have a reaction that may cost him
millions.
THE POLITICAL SHOOTING RAPE
The point whether Jack McAuliffe,
the prize-fighter, did OF did not shoot
Harrington is a minor consideration /,
although the democratic papers are
making much of 1T to hide the very
serious fact that Harrington is sup
posed, with good reason, to have been
the shooter of David Douahue in the
fracas at the republican county commit
tee rooms. The autopsy revealed that
the fatal bullet, which had not been eX-
tracted, was of the same calibre-No.
3S-as H~arrington's revolver, but the
man makes light of this and said with a
laugh that many men carried 3S-calibre
guns. The two other wounded men
Martin Kelly and Anton christensen u,
are in st. Mary's hospital, and the lat
tiers case is considered likely to end
fatally. The republican state central
committee has sifted the matter thor
oughly, and asserts, unhesitatingly,
that the cause of the trouble was a con
spiracy of democratic firemen, ward
strikers and subordinate officials to
break up the republican primaries, and
to stuff and in some cases to destroy the
ballot boxes. and that in pursuance OF
this scheme they broke open doors and
set fire to a building, and in another
case expelled the republican officers
and took possession themselves. And
they denounce Buckley the blind dem
ocratic boss, as having beer the insti-
gator of these proceedings and as NOR
ally responsible for the blood that has
been shed. The people of San Fran,
cisco believe them, because the demo
cratic und~erstrappers of the city are
no%toriousiy a vile, criminal mob, prid'
ing themselves on just such acts.

New Orleans Telegram: Tho death
of Winnie Johnson, the negro giantess,
who was buried recently in Baltimore,
recalls another monster of corporosity
who died in Milford, Pike county, Pa,
on September q, 1S41. His name was
Louis Cornelius, and he was a noted
hotel-keeper in his day. When in good
health Cornelius weighed between
seven hundred and eight hundred
pounds. His exact live weight never
was known, as he had an extraordinary
antipathy to being weighed. After his
death, which followed IA short but ex-
tremely wasting disease, he was weighed
and accurately measured by five of his
fellow-townsmen, whose record of that
performance appears to this day in the
following quaint chronicle inscribed on
the hy-leaf Of one of the musty record
books in the county clerks Office:
Louis Cornelius, died September -, 1871.
Dimensions are as follows:

While Winnie johnson weighed
nearly 200 pounds more than Cornelius
did after his death, she was practically
incapacitated for anything but her pro-
fession Of a museum freak. Cornelius,
on the other hand, was an active man
for his size and possessed the strength
of an OK. He was the proprietor Of the
Sawkill house, which is still standing
n is being run as a hotel by his
daughters. He was only forty-four years
