When these two, with SIMPSONS in
cognito comrade, Cyclops, cross the At
lantic, they will meet competitors worthy
their prowess. Louis st. Cyr, the Cana
dian Hercules" who has challenged
Sampson and Sandow, is 26 years of age,
and is man of superb development,
standing feet l01 inches tall and weigh-
ing 323 pounds; his flesh and muscles are
as hard as oak and he is probably the best
weight litter ever seen in this part of the
globe. Another challenger is Denis Gal
lagher, muscular athlete who formerly
resided in Buffalo, and whose specially is
Lancashire wrestling.
st. Cyr and Gallagher have both ap-
peared in public contests. The former
has put up 245-pound dumb-bel from
floor to shoulder and from shoulder to
arms length with one hand. On March
rs, 1886, at St. Henri, Canada, he lifted
q platform on which seven men were
seated. and which, also, contained seven
dumb-bells and a barrel of flour, the
whole making dead weight of 2,37S
pounds. He repeated this feat six
months Later. Immediately after this.
he placed barrel of -four upon his
shoulder. and fo ollowed this up by lifting
3, 800 pound of pig iron with plank as
the hold. His tremendous development
will dwarf both Sampson and Sandow
and render contest among these giants
decidedly interesting.
There are other great Americans who
will in all probability enter the list
against the herculean foreigners when
they arrive. William b. Curtis, the
sporting editor of the Spirit of the Times,
is famous amateur athlete. He has
lifted with the harness 1850 pounds in
New York City. David L. Dowd, of
Springfield, has lifted l,442i pounds

BRUTAL MURDER.
A Crazed Inebriate on a Killing
Tour.


SACRAMENTO, March T. Coroner
Clarke received telegram from Rose
vile and another from Antelope this
morning apprising him of the fact that a
murder had been committed at the
Twelve Mile house. The Coroner took
the first train out. The particulars of
the crime, so far as can be learned, show
that the murder was committed by
Charles Freeman. He has lived about
Roseville for many years, and bears the
reputation of a fighter and general
bruiser, In the past it has been a COM
mon thing for him to be engaged in
drunken brawls, out of which he usually
emerged victorious. Freeman was at
the Twelve-Mile house this morn
ing, and was under the in
fuence of liquor. When in that
condition he is always dangerous. In
roaming through the Twelve. Mile house
he espied man in bed. Without more
ado he seized the man and dragged him
out in front OF the house. There is a
trough used for watering horses there,
and into this Freeman ducked the head
Of his victim and held it there until the
man was dead then he dropped the life
less body and sought someone else upon
whom to vent his murderous propensities.
He soon found another victim, and set
upon him. Before the man could escape
Freeman had nearly killed him. The
crazed inebriate subsequently left for
Roseville and was arrested there Just be-
fore noon. The dead man was a cook en-
ployed on Decoy's ranch, two miles from
Rosevllle. His name could not be
learned.

CHICAGO, March THE most senss-
tional shooting affray which has occurred
in this city in long time, took place to-
night, Patrick Grove being principal.
He succeeded in wounding a womsa
slightly, and two officers and citizen
badly. One Of the officers will probably
die. Grove came here from Omaha q
short time ago, and has been working in
packing house. Last night he wound
up protracted spree in disreputable
house on CLARK street. This afternoon
he demanded at the point of a revolver
from Annie Hall, in whose company he
was, Jewels valued at $1,000, which she
had. The woman screamed and Grove
fred. the bullet lodging in the feshy part
of her arm. Grove seized the jewelry
and rushed towards the street. At the
door he was met by culored woman,
whom he knocked senseless with the
butt of his revolver. He got away for
the time being, and later in the
afternoon pawned the diamonds.
OhCCI lluNlllo, VIII udu bCcA WdtCil'
| ing for him, met him at
the door of the pswnshop and attempted
to arrest him, but was instantly shot
down, the bullet passing through his
face and cutting bis tongue in two.
Grove ran down the street, followed by a
hundred citizens. Officer Briscoe. located
several blocks down, attempted with a
drawn revolver to stop the flying man
but Grove promptly planted bullet in
Briscoe's breast, and kept on. Soon
after he turned and discharged his last
cartridge at his pursuers, the bullet strik'
ing G. E. Cole in the arm. At last Grove
was cornered in blind alley, but KEEP
the crowd at bay with his empty revolver
until two detectives stole march or
him, knocked him down and handcuffeC
him. Fully thousand people followed
the trio to the station, yelling "Lyncf
him." but the detectives landed hin
safely behind the bars.
Grove is supposed to have been crazl
from drink. According to his own stor,
he is Of respectable family. He worked
in an Omaha packing house before com
ing here.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Early this

Ludlow street, which contains several
families, among whom are large num-
bar of children, was discovered to be on
fire. When the fremen arrived the
frightened inmates, finding the Railways
filled with smoke and the stairs being
crowded, were preparing to Jump
from the windows. Ladders were
soon raised and the men, women
and children helped to safety.
Some of the half-naked men slid down to
the ground below on the ropes of a scat
fold which painters had left. One child
was numbed by cold and fright, and is
not expected to live. Several people
were rescued with great difficulty, being
nearly smothered. The pecuniary loss is

The attitude of the ring imposes upon
nobody. Whilst using the city moneys
without paying anything whatever for
their use, or even indemnifying the city
for their loss if any misfortune should
overtake the bank, it interposes every
obstruction possible in the way of per-
mitting the city to carry out the man
date of the charter, which sa,s that the
moneys shall be let out to responsible
bidders. Now that bids have been re-
ceived from responsible parties. who
will pay fair interest for the use of
the city moneys, and assure their safety
by bond that will more than cover the
highest sum that has ever been in the
Treasury, the ring, with brazen
effrontery, is opposing the execution
OF the contract for reasons which, if
applied to the bank now getting the
benefit of the moneys, would show that
it has complied with none of the condi.
tions it insists upon from the others.
This whole matter is in a nutshell. Pri.
vate banks are now making large profit
out OF the public moneys, and the city
takes all the risk and receives nothing.
An honest compliance with the law
would give the city fair interest and
secure it against any contingency of pos
sible loss. The people will hold every
member of the Council to a strict ac-
count for his action in this matter. The
right and the wrong of it are too plain to
admit of successful dodging.

inent citizens denounced the sending of
sensational dispatches to Washington a

selves "The Committee" representing
that there was starvation in San Fran
cisco, and asking that Government
rations be issued. The speakers while
admitting that there was much distress
among the poorer classes, expressed the
opinion that the municipality was fully
able to afford the necessary relief. Reso.
lutions were adopted to the effect that a
subscription be started and devoted to
employing laborers in Golden Gate park

The City Treasurer says that he holds
bonds from the several banks in which
the city moneys are deposited. Suppose
he does, it does not follow, as he alleges,
that these bonds would "inhere in the
city" 1t is private transaction be-
tween those banks and himself. Whilst
those personal bonds might indemnify
bis bondsmen from loss if anything
should occur. they are no protection to
the city. The city is secured only in the
Treasurer's bond, amounting to $3.50, 600.
He had $30S, 900 on deposit in bank at

A BAD Freight Wreck In the snow
sheds at Cisco.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March The euor-
nous amount of snow in the higher
mountains has settled somewhat under
the heavy rains of the past few days,
although not great deal seems to have
melted. 1t has not interfered at all with
traffic on the Central Pacific, but bust
ness was interrupted for several hours
this morning by an unforeseen accident.
A westbound freight was coming down
through the sheds, when at a point Just
east of Cisco the third Car from the Ca
boose from some cause left the track.
The derailed car followed on over the
ties all right until the station at Cisco
was reached, when it struck some of the
heavy upright supports, and seventy feet
of shed came down. The car, which was
loaded with beef cattle, was COM
pletely crushed, and of twenty
one animals twenty we're killed, while
the surviving steer broke away from the
wreck and gave chase to several railroad
men. The maddened animal was subse-
quently killed. A Car filed with plows
was also wrecked. By noon the wreck
was cleared and traffic was resumed.

sIssoNs, CAL, March 1.-Two inches OF
rain fell today. Two hundred and eev-
enty inches of snow has fallen during
the season. Both the north end south
trains failed to arrive today, owing to
slides at various points. Twenty slides,
some of them heavy, are obstructing the
track from Mott to Delta. Several in the
Siskiyou mountains are causing train 16
to lie in Ashland. Train Is is at Delta.
The snow is melting at both ends of the
road. Should the rain continue much
longer a serious blockade will ensue.
Much of the delayed freight has arrived
and provisions are plentiful.
