A Very Tame Exhibition.

The Madden -McAuliffe sparring exhibition
at the Grand opera honsc last evening was n
decidedly tame affair the only event Of any
merit OF interest, either, on the card being
the set-to between Jack Davis and Jack
Ryan. This was very clever and was voci-
ferously applauded Jack McAuliffe, the
light weight champion of the world, and
Trainer Billy Madden gave passage-at-
arms, illustrating all the blows, parties, coun-
ters and cross-counters, the back heel cross
buttock and Knockout blow of genuine fight
that was somewhat instructive. Their
set-to was very Kalamazoo The wind-up
between big Joe McAuliffe of California and
Jack Davis was simply for the purpose of
giving the audience AN opportunity TO size up
the Cyclopian coaster. He is a wonder, so
far as bigness is concerned, and compared
with Davis was like placing an oyster along
side an elevator, In their bout McAuliffe's
superior weight and stature told greatly
against Davis agility and cleYerness.
Before the close of the evenings perform
ance Billy Madden announced that benefit
would be rendered Bill McCune at the Gate
City club rooms next Friday night.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, April H. Special Tclc-
gram to The BEE. Umpire McDermott was
plainly determined that old man Anson and
his colts should not lose the second game to
Kansas City today, and in the seventh inning
when the score was 3 to , in favor of the
home nine, his opportunity came. Cooncy
knocked long fly to left field which the
wind carried just over the foul line. McDcr-
mott, however, called it fair and Cooncy was
left on third. Wilmot followed with Il long
triple to right center and the score was tied.
Arson gathered himself up for mighty
struggle and succeeded in winning the game
in the tenth inning, Wilmot making a single,
Anson being given a lift on u tumble by Zim-
mer, ana Wilmot the third bag on the same
play, and Andrews drove Wilmont home by
sacrifice fly to left field. Wilmot's batting,
the base running of Andrews and the fielding
of Cooney and Kittredge were the feat
ures of the day for Chicago. Pears
pitched a second time for the home
nine and again proved very effective.
Eiteljorg, who occupied the box for the Wis
itors, was very erlatic, and not as effective us
Anson desired. The score was:

People who were quietly passing along
the Avenue de lOpera antf the corner of
the Rue Louis le Grand in Paris lately
were Mortified to behold Il battle of beg
gars, says the London Daily Telegraph.
The combat was due to keen competition
between the belligerent parties in the
matter of arms. A burly mendicant
known as 'Ironleg" was plying his trade
in company with II female companion,
when Il blind man led by his
daughter passed by whining en-
ergetically for eleemosynary aid.
The female friend of ''Ironleg"
accordingly called the blind man
approbrious names, whereupon she was
vigorously attacked by the latter's
daughter, and words and blows were ex-
changed between the parties to II terri
BILE extent. While the women were at
war ''Ironleg" charged at the blind beg
gar, whom he speedily flung to the
ground. In his fall the slightest men
dicant broke one of his limbs and was
BARRED to the hospital, where the dam
aged member had to be amputated.
''Ironlegn in the meantime has been
justly incarcerated pending his trial for
assault and battery, and it will be n long

FLEEING TO THE MOUNTAINS.
Cranks Desert San Francisco and Oakland
to Escape the Deluge.
NO SIGN OF DESTRUCTION YET.
But the Followers of the Prophecies
DO Not Doubt Her Word and
Have Taken to- Higher
Ground-Thc Exodus.

| SAN TRANcIsco, Cal, April IL Especial tc
The BEE. The fateful day which Mrs
Woodwork has predicted will see the de
struction of this city and Oakland has ar.
rived, and the exodus of 'doom-sealcrs" con.
tnues. Yesterday forty or fifty more OF
the elect departed for high places in the
mountains the favoritc retreats being Santa
Rosa, st. Helena and Vacavillc. The two
great weeks of signs have slowly slipped by
aud the signs are painfully and unaccount-
ably absent. Nothing wild or weird has
been thrust upon the people of Oakland.
The warm weather yesterday made more
than one man stop in his wanderings and mop
his brow while he looked at the hot stec-bluc
sky, with not heck of cloud floating be-
tween the heated Garth and the sun, and re-
mark, "Well, this is earthquake weather.
But the exodus is over. All those who in
tended to go have gone, and those who intend
to brave the wrath to come are still in town
The prophecy gave all those intending to go
one week, from the lst to the ith of April, to
leave, and two days grace, after which time
it was said that it would be impossible to
leave owing to the earthquake that would cut
off all communication with the outside world.
The days of grace have expired and all those
who intended to leave have gone in conse-
quencc. Still an occasional straggler packed
up his household goods and went at the last
moment.
AS the destruction will first reach San
Francisco, and as it will only reach Oakland
over the wreck of this city, there has been
Al considerable exodus from the metropolis
of the coast. Many of those who attend
the various emissions on Market street,
some members of the Salvation Army and
Holiness Bands are interested, and many of
Mrs. Woodworth's most devout followers hail
from San Francisco.
There were probably thirty people who
took the train for the Sierras from Oakland
yesterday and quite number also
went to the hills back of Berkeley The cx-
ample set by the more fcrvent Woodworthites
has stirred the bacisliders. Yesterday and
the day before tho departures took more the
form of an organized exodus than ever be-
fore. Those who left earlier quietly went
aboard the trains separatcly-onc or possibly
two fapiilies TO party. a great many went
in this way, and it was yesterday estimated
that fully 300 people had left their homes on
account of the dismal prophecy. Not sin

ings where the prophecy was first an
nounced was to be found in Oakland ycster

THE EIGHT HOUR SYSTEM.
II is Discussed at II Meeting of Car
pcntcrs and JOiners.

j. H. Tracey, president of the Carpenters
and joincrs' union, No, n, called largely at
tended meeting to order in Garfield hall last
night. After IA few remarks he introduced j.
A. Giles, the district organizer.
Mr. Giles talked about the eight
hour system particularly. He main
tanned that no person could work ten
hours each day and be intelligent citizen.
He would not have an opportunity TO inform
himself of the doings of the day. He spoke
of the buying of ballots for liquor, small
amounts of money and promises of office The
men who listened to these promises We're ig-
norant of facts because they had no OppOr
tunity to read, converse and learn. in
May he said. there will be change, and
the eight hour system Willabe enfOrcedn
The speaker referred to the situation of the
striking carpenters in Chicago He said there
was not over twenty-five men at work there
today, which was strong proof OF thorough
organization.
During his remarks Mr. Giles introduced
the following resolution, which was adopted:
Whereas, The Chicago carpenters are now
contending for the cight-hour day,
Omaha III mass meeting assembled hereby
cNiend to them our heartfelt sympathy and
earnest wishes for their success in their efforts
to better their condition
w. II. Kliycr of Chicago, vice president of
the general executive board of the Carpen-
tcrs and Joiners of America, is largo, portly,
knows his business He began his address
by stating that he was no orator He simply
wanted to tell what he had learned by eXper-
iemce. That experience was varied. Tho
eight thour work day was the proper thing. 1t
was the only rule that would prove benefit
to the wage worker. He spoke of the system
of 100 years ago, when the employees only
served eight hours a day. AT that time
every one had plenty. In Australia no one
worked more than eight hours But the sue
cess of the eight hour system has been so
great that now they are asking and agtating
that the hours be reduced to seven. They do
not propose to have the Americans catch up
with them. Mr. kliner also recommended
the Australian system of balloting. He said
that in Australia the people own the rail
roads, and in this country the railroads own
the people. That was the difference
The gentleman referred back for several
years, reviewing the action Of ali the trades
organizations, showing how the laborers had
won each strife simply through perfect or
ganization. Shorter hours was what the men
wanted. He urged that all the carpenters
Join the union. II is the common mechanic
who regulates the scale. If IA mans services
are worth more than the scale he will get it.
But organize, organize and stick together
After the speeches the men got together in
small buncheS and argued until midnight.
The carpenters are determined to enforce the
eight hour rule after May !.

this particular round he had turned the
horses down the field and had gone back to
change the marker, when from some un-
known cause the horse became frightened and
started to run. Powell ran after them and
graspcd the near horse by the bit, when both
horses surged to the right, the off horse
striking the barb wire fence. The cores from
the barbs either maddened or frightened
the horses so that he lunged clear over the
