BRAG OF THE BRUISERS.
JOHN L. SULLIVAN AGAIN BOASTS
OF HIS PROwESs.
Jim Corbstt Meets the Boston Boy for the
First Time, but Not in the Pfng-Siavin
Must Put Up or Shut Up.

CHICAGO, Jan. -1S.-John L. Sullivan
says WakeIy and Lynch, who arrived
from New Orleans yesterday, laid before
him proposal to fight Slavin. The
proposal, he understands, comes from
Slavin's friends in New Orleans. Sulli-
vans reply is that he will give Slavia
$2500, or $4,000 if he prefers it, if he win
show that he can stand before him
(Sullivan) for six rounds, with five-ounce
gloves. Sullivan will meet him at any
place as soon as his present engagement
will permit. He will fight no more
bare-fist fights, as he does not wish s'to
run up against the law again."
Sullivan says Corbett, Kilrain and
Slavin are all calling themselves the
champion. What he wants them to do
is to settle the matter among them
selves, and then he will fight the
winner.
James J. Corbett OF San Francisco met
Sullivan for the first time today, and ex-
presses great admiration for him. When
asked if he would fight him, Corbett
asked why he should, adding that there
are number OF men for him to whip
before he thinks of worlds champion
ship honors. ''If Slavin wants to fight, I"
said Corbett, "why don't, he fight me. 1
am convinced he is blowhard, who is
talking principally because he knows
Sullivan's hands are at present tied. If
am successful in my coming meeting
with Peter Jackson. shall go to Eng
land and make him fight, or expose him
as duffer."
Sullivan, when asked: "What about
Jackson?" said: ''Oh l don't consider
him; he is out of it SO far as am con-
cerned."

Colonel Brooks at Ventura.

Before leaving for home on the occa-
sion of his recent visit, j. Marion
Brooks made arrangements for improv-
ing, on an extensive scale, his real
property in Brooksdale, comprising some
fifty lots. Besides the several improve
ments in contemplation of substantial
character, he has already begun the
work Of planting 5U00 eucalyptus trees
on the west side of the block, near the
river at the railroad bridge. He will
also set out, later in the season, or as
soon as lie can procure them, thickly
planted row Of Lombardy poplars
aligning the river. The cool freshness
Of the atmosphere and exemption from
dust and mud peculiar to that locality,
have attracted the. attention Of persons
who are contemplating the building Of
residences, and twill not be long before
it will be one Of the most handsome,
popular and attractive sections of the
town. Aside from it's abundance Of
free water privileges, it has many ad-
vantages superior to any other part Of
Ventura in the character Of its soil, its
splendid views and other features. ~

FINDLAY, o., jan. 18.-The first great
disaster Findlay ever experienced from
the use of natural gas occurred shortly
before 2 o'clock this afternoon. While
the guests OF the hotel Marvin were
waiting to be summoned to dinner this
morning, it was discovered that gas was
escaping from some leaking pipe some
where into the dining room, and Mr..
Marvin, the owner OF the building, with
three plumbers, spent the entire fore
noon trying to locate the leak. About
10 o'clock they entered the chamber
under the dining-room, and found such
an accumulation of gas that they could
not breathe, and it was suggested that a
hole be sawed through the floor into the
dinlng-room in order to obtain fresh air.
This was done, and just as the hole was
made, one of the dining-room girls, who
was sweeping the floor, stepped upon a
match, and in an instant an explosion
occurred, which not only wrecked the
building, but killed ten girls, and
manned and injured a dozen other en-
ployees. The force of the explosion was
so great that it blew out the flame of the
ignited gas, and no fire followed the
awful ruin which the shock caused. The
whole city was rocked az if by an earth
quake, and all the windows on the
block were demolished. Had the ex-
plosion occurred ten minutes later, the
loss of life would have been frightful, as
nearly a hundred people were waiting
to be called to dinner. When the rescu-
ing party began work in the debris,
the body of Katie Walters, a dining
room girl, was found, badly crushed.
Ella johnson, another waitress, was
found alive under mass of brick and
mortar, but she died in a short time.
Kate Rooney, a waitress, Anson Mar
vim, the owner of the building, and
Frank Andrews were fatally injured.
Frank Poundstone, a clerk, and Charles
Graves, Phillip We'll. and Jack Casill
were painfully bruised and cut, but will
recover. The pecuniary loss amounts
to $35, 900.

TWO FATED BILLS.
One of Them Good, the Other
One Bad.
The Force Bill Doomed Because
1t Deserves to Be.
Free Coinage in Danger Because Its
Arch-Enemies Are in POwers
Harrison Will Veto 1t if Reed Does Not
Throttle It Before 1t Gets Through
the House.
Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The elections
bill comes up in the senate tomorrow
again as unfinished business. The
course of business will depend alto
gether, it is felt, upon attendance. If
the expected Republican quorum is ap-
parent, the next move will be to con-
slider the Aldrich closure resolution, for
the managers of the bill believe the time
is at hand when the last doubt as to the
efficacy of the old method of "sitting
out" the measure must have been re-
moved. The efforts to lay aside the
elections bill will doubtless be renewed,
but should they fail, the closure prom
ises to be feature of the proceedings of
the senate during the week.
FATE OF FREE COINAGE.
The proceedings of the house during
the week will be governed by the pro-
gress of the senate with the elections
bill, the purpose of the Democrats man
ifestly being to delay business as long as
this measure remains pending in the
senate.
The principal interest is centered in
the proceedings of the house committee.
to which the free coinage silver bill has
been referred. The fate of the bill de-
pends largely upon its action, as the
committee practically has the power to
shelve it, and thus render action by the
house almost if not quite impossible.
For this reason, the proceedings of the
committee will be followed with the
liveliest interest.
REED AND HARRISON IN THE WAY.
The Post, today, asserts emphatically
that the president will veto the free
coinage bill should it pass the house, no
matter whether the elections bill is de-
feated or not. 1t also says Speaker Reed
will make every endeavor to thwart the
silver men in their attempts to get the
bill before the house.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Jan. 18.-An
awful tragedy occurred here today, s.
M. Fugette, cashier of the South Chat
tanooga savings bank, being shot and
killed by his fatherin-law, J. A. War

der is probably fatally injured, and Mrs.
Fugette has dangerous wound in her

to talk. The neighbors hearing the
shooting, rushed in and found Hugette
dead, with bullet in his heart, and
Mrs. Fugette lying on the floor, while
Warder was staggering down stairs with

/ LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 18.-The long
vigil OF Ex-Governor Thayer during the
exciting scenes of the opening of the
legislature, when he remained in his
apartments eighty hours, for the pur-

physicians say his condition is alarming,

old.

OF Aristotle's treatise on the con-

covery is almost unprecedented in
the history of classical learning. There
is no doubt as to the genuineness of the
manuscript.

The Proposed Change.

In future there will be a tri-
monthly service between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu. The Oceanic
Steamship Company and the Union
Steamship Company of New Zealand
have come to an agreement by
which the two companies are to
amalgamate on the subsidy question.
The Oceanic Company will run the
Alameda and Mariposa and the
Union Company the Monowai and
Mararos, between Sydney, Auckland,
Honolulu and San Francisco. All
the arrangements have not yet been
made, but it is more than probable
that in future there Will be a fort
nightly service between the above
points By the above arrangements
the Zealandia was left out in the
cold, so the Oceanic Company has
resolved to place on the Honolulu
route in conjunction with the Aus
tralia. The two steamers viii run

Dissusted Mormons.

A native Hawaiian Mormon with
his wife and four children returned
on Tuesday by the steamship Aus
tralia. They left Hawaii nei about
two years ago on the steamship Una
tilla for Salt Lake City, Utah, which
the Mormon elders had painted to
their Imagination as the promised
Zion. They were well to do when
they left their native land, but re-
turned needy. They stated that
when they resided at Salt Lake City
they Jared well; but when they were
removed to another town, about sixty
miles away, they were treated like
prisoners. not being paid for their
services, and not even receiving any
pecuniary help whatever. According
to their statement, there are still
seventy Hawaiian Mormons left at
Salt Lake City. Some of them have
accepted the tickets forwarded to
them for their passage home by Ha
waiian Consul General Mckinley of
San Francisco, and will return at an
early date; but others have deter
mined to remain at Salt Lake City
and endure poverty and hardship
rather than come home, because they
think that after having sold all their
lands here at the persuasion of the
Mormon elders, they cannot over
come their sense of shame.
