THINKS. HALL A SOFT MARK,

Fitzsimmons Promises Him the Worst
ThreshinE He Ever Had,
BALTIMORE, March 29.-Bob Fitzsimmons
has left Baltimore for Buffalo. He says,
speaking of the Astoria (Ore.) Athletic
club purser for fight between him and
Hall: .'The chance has come at last for an
opportunity to pay off old scores. I beat
Hall once abont two years ago in Australia,
l then knew very little about fighting. Pn
give him the grandeat threshing this
time he ever had in his life. He is
better man than Dempsey, but
Jack was an easy mark and
had him licked the first time I punched
him. Hall is very heavy at present and the
training hewill be forced to undergo in or
der toget down to 154 pounds will take more
energy out of him than a spell of sickness.
My engagement with Clarke will close in
nine weeks and after good long rest in
tend to train for the fight.
George Clark has telecraphed from Chi
cago to Charles Ross, his agent here, that
he had guaranteed purse of $4,000, and
furthermore he would back fitzsimmons
for $4,000. With equal backing on Halls
side this will make the largest stake ever
fought for, the total amount being $37, 900.
Fitzsimmons says If he defeats Hall he will
make Ted Pritohard, England's champion,
his next mark and then retire from the
ring. "

off Gay Head this morning by three steam
tugs and by the aid of the ships anchor and
hawser. which was carried out. The Galena
arrived here in tow this afternoon and now
lies alongside the wharf at the head of the
harbor. Steam pumps were put aboard the
Galena Friday night with the intention of

etc., to be taken from the ship. When the
pumps were set at work ii was found that
the ship could be readily pumped out and 1t
was then decided to endeavor to float her.
Everything movable was taken from the
ship by lifters, and at high water Friday
and SATURDAY. the tugs hauled her, moving

This morning the fresh wind occasioned
considerable swell, thereby enabling the
tugs to haul her afloat. The Galena leaks

1t Makes Disgraceful Scene at Chinese
Funeral.
PrTTsBuRd, Pa, March 29.-The China
men of Pittsburg, contrary to the general
belief in regard to their burial. do not send
their dead to China, but own lot in I'M
iondale cemetery in which they are buried.
This afternoon one of their number, Jen
Sen, was buried with every rite and observ-
ance attending Chinese obsequies. Jen Sen
was high mason, and long procession of
Celestials followed the remains to the grave
Here a most disgraceful scene ensued,
brought about by some 200 Caucassians who
had tramped over graves, torn down shrub
berry and jostled timid mourners in
order to crafty their curiosity.
The Chinese reyerently placed the burn
ing joss sticks, perfulned paper and
printed prayers, beside the grave, only to
have them almost snatched out of their
hands by the excited mob. They also
wrapped small coins in paper and scattered
them on and in the grave, but boys and
men snatched them up and fought fercely
for possessi On of the curious mementoes.
Cat calls and jeers and howls from the vul-
gar crowd added to the shameless scene
that Pittsburu heartily condemns. the ex-
cuse being that the riotious crowd was only
made up OF the idle. vulgar and lawless.

Matter This Morning,
Alfred McCarter died yesterday morning
At four O'Clock at his residence on the west
side. Several times he was conscious for q
few minutes and In answer 10 inquiries of
Mrs. AcCartsr said John Larson wns not
responsible for his condition. All Mr.. Nc
Carter could remember about the terrible
wound he received early Saturday morning
WAS that he felt himself falling and then
his mind was blank until Saturday night
when questioned. Coroner Kockman has
some evidence which warrants an investiga-
ti0n In this case. Abont one O'Clock Hatur-
day morning Sam Kennett and his BROTHER
in-law, Charles Clark, henrd cries Of
murder" and police" They looked
out Of back window Of Mr..
Kennett's house which fronts on
Dearborn avenue. On Park avenue, across
the street from the old brewery, now
lodging house, they saw man clinging to
2 telegraph pole. In reply to their shouts
of inquiry the man cried ont, where is
Mike He leaned against the pole few
seconds more and then started up the
street, passing near the Oro Elmo terrace.
When near the corner OF Madison
"NOAuo HLAu AOWcI66 btFceG GuO TWO g6utI0-
men saw the man fall down. Mr.. Kenneth
and his brother-in-law started from the
house to render assistance. II was showing
and cold at the time and they thought there
might be danger of tie man freezing to
death. On reaching the spot where they
saw the man fall no trace OF him could be
found except the marks in the snow. After
searching around for some time they re-
turned to the house. Before reaching the
door they saw hack coming from Park
avenue into Floweree street. McCarter
when found BY John Haggerty. the driver
OF Of hack NO. u, was sixty feet away from
where the fence was broken by the horse
and cart of the dead contractor. Six feet
further on from the telegraph pole near
which McCarter was found there was pool
OF blood, and six feet farther another patch
OF blood. The pole on Park avenue where

finger marks on it. Who was the man who
cried murder .tpolice.'' asks Dr.,
Rockman. He thinks it might
have been McCarter or Larson.
There is just enough mystery about the
affair 70 demand thorough investigation,
says the coroner. Others think that it was
purely the result of accident; that the
horse became frightened and threw Nc
Carter out. The wound in his head when
he was brought to the police station was
perfectly clean. This is something that

Italy win Not BE Hard on u.

LONDON, March 29.-The Times CORE
spondent at Rome says the excitement
caused by the lynching at New Orleans has
completely subsided. The government
fully appreciated the difficulties under
which the American government labors,
and it is not likely any pressure will be
brought to bear upon the latter. 1t is con-
vinced that the American government will
readily make that compensation which
justice demands. Public opinion goes to
show that there is no sympathy for the
lynched members of the Malta. MANY
Italians say it would be we'll if other mem
bers of the Malta were treated in the same
way.

Together With Sticks and Stones.
SLrdo. March 20.-This has been the live
LEST day 60 far in the North Sligo election
campaign. By eight o'clock this morning
the streets were alive with people listening
TO the music OF several bands. The Parnell
continRents, with their leader, were out by
10 O'clock. engaged in personal canyassing.
Parnell met with hostile reception at
StrAndhill, whers he found It impossible to
hold meeting, owing to the fierce yells of
mia opponents, and was finally compelled to
retreat 70 Sligo. The bishop Of the diocese,
together with the priests Of the whole dis
trict, denounced Parnell to their congrega-
tions ut mass this morning, Meanwhile the
anti Parnellitns, Seton and Collery, Manr-
ice Healy and Michael Davitt, and
their party. bent on an unfortunate attempt
TO carry the fight into the enemy's country,
started for Tieragh district, addressing
small gatherings on their way till Tenn
plesby was reached. Here hostile camps
had been formed. The Parnellites main
tanned suilen silence, but their opponents
were VET, Wild. Ringing cheers welcomed each
on the brow Of the hill, armed with black
thorn: and other weapons, threatening to
move toward their opponents, but the police
lnterposed. and with line Of bnyonets
awed the antagonists and the storm sub
sided amid muttered threats and curses,
All now moved in the direction Of Dromore-
west, where, after a similar scene, the Par
nellites pelted their opponents vigorously
with stones until they were chased and
dubbed by the police. Michael Davitt led
his adherents off, all ducking their heads
and some covering themselves with rugs to
avoid the fusilade Of stones. Pinkerton, a
member of parliament for Galway, had his
head cut and several others were injured.
Trying to enter Easkey the Parneilites
found the road barred by formidable ar
ray of anti-Parnellites, and on the advice
of the police they retreated in the direction
of Sligo amid another shower of stones and
other missiles. The fusilades of
stones continued until the party
was half mile from Easkey.
A couple of newspaper men following 100
yards behind the Davitt party were attacked
by the Parnellites and SO seriously hurt
that they were obliged to stop at the village
to have their wounds dressed. On hearing
who were the wounded men the ASSISTANTS
expressed contrltion. The party reached
Sligo in the evening where they addressed
a large meeting. They gave detailed ac-
count Of the days happenings and the treat
ment they received, which they declare
the Parnellite leaders had organized on the
previous night in Sligo. They all vowed
Vengeance.
