SMALLMEN,BIGPURSE
Coming Contest Of Feather
Weights in Frisco.
THE PRINCIPALS CONTRASTED
Can George Dixon Maintain his title of
Champion in Front Of Abe Willis, the
Clever Little Australian.

IFor TIE SUNDAY HERALD-Copyrighted.l
The Dixon Willis fight to come on next
month, in San Francisco, is exciting great
interest among pugilists.
This is battle deciding the 1l6 pounds
championship of the world, and in reality
the feather weight championship. Dixon
has defeated Nunc Wallace, the representa-
tive champion of his class in England, and
Willis represents the best man OF his
weight in New Zealand and Australia.
This match is of more than ordinary impor-
lance.
Abel Willis record has never been fully
printed in this country. He comes from
sydney. He weighs ii street attire about
154 pounds He can fight as low as
1l2. At his weight he has never
been defeated, but has been whipped
by Critic and Billy Murphy, each
of whom was probably eight
pounds heavier, and thus really out of his
class. In Australia it has not been an I'M
common thing Tor light weights or even
feather weights to do battle with men Of
40 to $50 pounds. 1t Is only recently that
the lines Of weight classification have been
strictly drawn, and they have come round
more nearly to the American idea.

Italians in the East End.
"The Southside is comparatively free of
Italians, but in the East End, all around
the outskirts of the finest residence sections,
there are vast numbers of them living in
houses and in Shanties. They were en-
ployed during the summer on the improve
ments being made in that neighborhood,
and lived as near as possible to their work.
while there are MANY Italians in this
city," said the Inspector in conclusion,
"who might cause US trouble, 1 do not
think they will make any such foolish at
teupt believe that they will be guided
by the more conservative of their country
men, who understand the principles of our
Government and are satisfied with them"
News was received from Parkersburg, w.
Va, last night that the attempted wrecking
of two Baltimore and Ohio trains, and the
dynamiting of the railroad depot and store
buildings at Constitution had led to the be-
lief in that State that the Italians were by
these means attempting to avenge their fell
low-countrymen who were lynched ct New
Orleans

Some More Interesting Figures.
The gross income of the Sinking Fund
Commission was SS4, ,666 95; disbursements,
S39, $50; balance in fund, S45 416 95 for the
year. Since its organization in 1850 the
commission has earned SI5,OOS 20 for the
city and cancelled bonds amounting to
S372, 600. At present the fund In bonds and
cash amounts to total Of SS07, ,916' 50.
The comments in the report are in refer
ence to some of the items embodied in it and
are explained tersely but conclusively.
Referring to the deficiency bonds the Con-
troiler says the deficiency was created by a
decrease in the Treasury, not by any NAL
feasance or criminality but by the increase
OF expenditures in the police, fire and other
departments without corresponding in
crease in the tax levy.
The other work of Councils was only
routine, with the exception oil resolution
introduced by w. M. Kennedy. 1t re-
quested the Allegheny members of the
Legislature to have stricken out Of House

departments. 1t was finally passed after a
bitter fight. Then the Select branch ad-
journed sine die.

NO SECRET SOCIETIES.
Joseph Cuneo Says That Nothing of the
Kind Exists Here.

Joseph Cuneo Says That Nothing of the
Kind Exists Here.
The idea OF any secret organizations OF
Italians finding a foothold in Pittsburg is
secuted by every respectable italian in the
city. As matter of fact there
are but four Italian organizations in
Pittsburg. They are the Societa Fraterna,
whose President is Joseph Cuneo; the
MIto Secorso; the Legione Garibaldi, and
the Cristoforo Colombo Band and tine men,
bers affiliated with it as a society. These
societies are all for mutual aid and are bene
ficIal in their constitution. The total mem
bership of these is less than 500. Mr.. Cuneo
was spokei with yesterday regarding the
matter OF organizations.
"Ther2 is no such thing as the Mafosi in
Pittsburg," he said. "If there was we
should know it. There are four beneficial
societies, comprising the best OF the Italian
colonists. II any secret organizations ex-
listed it would be impossible for the mem
bers to keep their proceeding; so secret as
that none of the best thinking among then
would get onto the fact. The Mafiosi Is an
essentially Sicilian society, and of SiciliaB7
there are not more THAI 500 in the city. 1t
is an organization for revenge, and here
these people are SO occupied with their
methods of livelihood as TO have no inclina-
tion or occasion for private quarrels."
Mr.. Cuneo thinks there are about 5000
Italians in the city. the Legione Garibaldt
did not drill with rifles as some people sup
posed. They were mostly veterans who re-
tained the sword and uniform in memory of
their service. He said that the Cristoforo
Colombo Band was about to change Its
name to Post G. A. r. Band.
