SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-The istic
event which looms up most conspicuously
in the near future is the Corbett-J ackson
meeting. Much genuine interest is taken
in the fight because both are recognized
as scientific boxers. Neither could be
correctly spoken of as a slugger. Each
has a head on his shoulders we'll stocked
with brains. Both are quick and scientific,
aud the meeting between them ought to
come more closely to the ideal of the
noble art Of self defense thap-any Of the
many prize ring fights which have of late
years caused sensations from time TO time.
In all of SullIvan's fights his superior
science or his superior strength have
been very obvious. In no instance has
he been met by a man in whom the com
blnation OF science and strength was as
evenly allotted as it will be in the case OF
the Jackson-C orbett meeting, kIlraiu was
much Wanted for his science, but the de-
fusion has been long ago dispelled. Char
lie Mitchell is quick as | ghtning, but
has not Sullivan's strength. In this
fight both men nave speed, strength and
generalship, and the fight will be in the
fullest sense a trial of skill more than OF
muscle and endurance. Charles Stensel,
Jim Corbett's manager, says that Corbett
is taking light exercise and will commence
the serious work of training on April |.
John Donaldson is nov in Sausalto with
Corbett and Billy Delaney, who trained
the pugtlist tor his fight with Choynski,
will also be ready to take him in hand on
the date named.
Peter Jackson is at Joe Dieves', and it
will be a surprise if he does not show up
IN Grst-class condition. Peter can get into
shape in a month, and when he is feeling
good and strong there is not a pugilist lv
ing whom he can not give enough to keep
him busy as long as he is in the ring
Bets are not plentiful. and will not be un-
til close to the time of the meeting. Even
then odds one way or the other will be
slight, as it is Just about a toss up who
will win

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The a per
cent loan, of which little more than $50,
600, 600 is. now outstanding. will mature
Sept. l, next. Treasury officials say that
there will be no trouble whatever in meet
ing it and that it was regarded as a mat,
ter Of so little concern that 1t was not
thought necessary to bring it to the at
tentIon of congress. The department
stands ready now to redeem these
bonds with interest to maturity,
and the small amount presented
each dav is taken as au iudica-
ton that holders ere in no particular
hurry to dispose of it. A prominent off
cial said this afternoon that the depart
ment will be able TO redeem them all on
the date OF maturity if they shall be
presented, but the history Of all govern
ment loans indicates that there is no pos
sibility OF such a thing, aud that it will
be found that a large amount of these
bonds will not be presented for redemp-
ton for months after interest has ceased
to run. While the available cash balance
in the treasury Is now only about Sl3,-
900, 900, the government has about 500,
600. 900 additional on deposit in national
banks, which can be used in case OF
necessity.

DANBURY, Conn, March 27.-PeoUIe
passing the corner OF West Wooster and
Division streets last night were astOnished
to see a young woman partly disrobed
trampiug about the green square which
surrounds the monument of Garfield
there, as if her life depended upon it.
She carried a brick in one hand and a
large stone in the other, and in that way
kept q steady pace around and around.
Her discarded garments lay upOn the
ground by the monument. A crowd
quickly gathered, attracted by the unusual
spectacle, but no one interiered with her,
aud for two hours she kept up her ramp
about the monument until a policeman
took her into custody. The young woman
was Miss Lillian Egaert, well known and
highly respected here. She was suffering
from a sudden attack of insanity.
Don't you see, she said to the police
man. my neck Is broken, my littls brother
did it
Miss Egbert was taken to her home,
where she is violently insane. No cause
Is known for her sudden arrangement and
her actions have caused u sensation among
her friends.

New YORK, March ga strange
MISUNDERSTANDING has arisen between Mrs.
Gen. Grant aud Wallace c. Andrews IN
relation to the investment of $685. 900
which Mrs. Grant gave to Mr.. Andrews
to place for her in Standard Oil stock.
Mrs. Grant has written to John d.
Rockefeller, saying that some three years
ago she asked Mr.. Andrews to invest the
money as stated above, but he replied
that he was about TO sell his Standard
Oil stock and was going into a much big
ger thing; that he advised her that there
would be a great opportunity for the in
vestmen. of her money to better advan-
tage. The scheme which Mr.. An
drews referred TO was the New York
Steam Heating company, and Mrs. Grant
says she got the impression from her con-
versation with Mr.. Andrews that the
Standard Oil magnates we're behind the
CON ANY as lis financial hackers. On this
understanding she says she gave her
money to MIR. Andrews to invest in the
Steam Company. Mrs. Grants object IN
writing to Mr.. Rockefeller was to ask
him, she said, to please be so good as to
change her stock in the Steam company
for Standard Oil stock, as she was tired
waiting for dividends from the other, Mr..
Rockefeller made haste to assure Mrs.
Grant that he was powerless in the mat
ter. Mr.. Andrews version of the story
has not vet been learned. 1t is quite
likely that the misunderstanding between
Mrs. Grant aud Mr.. Andrews may yet be
referred to the courts foT settlement.
Mr.. Andrews. when questioned today
about the alleged transaction says: 1T is
entirely false. never had any dealings
with Mrs. Grant. Col. Grant, however.
bought some steam company stock. He
was treasurer of the company at the
time. | again affirm that l never had
any dealings with Mrs. Grant, and never
made any representations 10 her what
ever"
Asked us to the truth OF the statement
that he was a debtor to the Washington
National bank, not IN liquidation, Mr..
Andrews said: II never had a collar
transaction with the Washington bank. -
The following letter from Mrs. Grant
was given out tonight:
"a statement has been made so unjust
to Mr.. An3rews that | wish to correct it.
1t is not true that | accuse Mr.. Andrews
of any unfair dealing with me.
THE tram action referred to (the pur.
chase of steam stock). was ordered by
me. as was also a purchase of Standard
OIL Trust stock. [ do not cast any re-
Elections on MIR. Andrews in the trans
action. Very truly,

Laura SnOWdCn. the Adventures.
PuTsBURG. Pa, March 27.-The de-
tectives have discovered enough of tho
career OF Miss laura Snowden, the accom-
plico of Fred Etzsimmons, the crook and
murderer, to stamp her as one OF the star
ad~veuturcsses aud blackmailers OF the
country. a search of her luxuriously fur
nished apartments on Conway street led to
the finding of her diary and letters. WHICH
are rich IN sensational information. The
letters showed that she induced a friend in
the same lIue to ioin 10 a scheme to entrap
and blackmail the dark-skinned members
of the Pan-AmeTican congress during
their two days soiourn in this city in
1889. She coOlly used a Pittsburg iron
manufacturer to guide at least three oil
the delegates TO her rooms, where in due
time she made the unwilling diplomates
disgorge n goOdly sum or face disgrace of
exposure. How many others she black
mailed on this occasion she will not tell,
and her letters don't indicate. Her bust
ness instincts induced her to keep a regu-
lar list of her victims, with their real
names anu addresses. In this list are not
only the names Of Pittsburg men proml.
nent in the business community, but poll
ticians and men IN high standing in many
of the larger cities clear across the CONT
nent. Blackmail was her pet game. and
the mystery is how she so long escaped
prison, while all the time maintaining
openly her position as stenographer and
clerk for the Medical Reriac.
One OF the incidents OF Yesterday was
the visit OF a New York man, who gave
no other nsme than James Smith, 30 aud
claimed to come to town TO ascertain
whether Miss Suowden is not the woman
he Tlarr.ed on short notice in the metrop-
oils IN December, 1855. HE says she
ran away from him three months after
the wedding. From what he learned OF
her during their acquaintance aud has
read of the SnOwdeu' s woman career he
thinks the two are Identical 1t has been
learned beyond doubt that Detective Gil
kInsons slayer, whose apprehension is
due to Miss SnOwden's disclosures. is
Frederick G. Fitzsimmons of Brockvillc,
Ont. One more of FtzsImmOns' gang
was arrested yesterday at Jefferson, O.
GiikinsOn was buried last night. About
5000 persons viewed his body as it lay in
state yesterday afternoon in the First
Presbyterian church. Half a dozen de-
t%ectives acted as pail bearers. 1t is learned
that the discovery of Fitzsimmons' real
character has caused a great sensation at
Brockville. where his relatives are among
the best people. He is a college bred
man, and has been a ~wanderer over two
continents for over a decade. He went
South to accept a good position not long
after graduating and eioped with a Louis
lana planters daughter. The two have
led a wild life ever since, and now find
themselves in jail together. She is con
sidered to be the schemer Of the outfit
and he the executor. He never visited
his home till a fortnight ago, to secure
his inheritance. His brother is now en-
route to Pittsburg to look after the de-

A Preacher IN Trouble.

MAscouTAH, Ill, March 27.-Rov.
Schiukemeyer, pastor Of the Lutheran
church at Fayetteville, in this county, is
in a peck Of trouble. A constable went
down to the reverend gentleman S abode
yesterday ard presented a saloonkeeper's
bill Tor liquor consumed by him. The
preacher did not have the money to pay
the liquor bill, and hence the trouble, 1t
appears that whenever he visited this
city he frequently made the rounds Of the
saloons and had a high old time generally.
This failing of the minister Is generally
known to the people of Fayetteville, but
it is not known what action his congrega-
ton will take in the matter. The rever
end gentleman himself claims that he has
been guilty of no indiscretiou. He SAYS
that he drinks his beer and he does not
care who knows it. He claims that he
does not drink TO an excess, and that his
church will stand by him. The affair is
the talk of the community.

NORFOLK, Va, March 27.-The Nor

Fla, for England, with lumber, and car
rylng a crew of fifteen and the captains
young wife and 3 year-old boy. came
ashore in a strong e%asterly gale this morn
ing TWO miles north OF the Virginia Beach
hotel. The weather was so thick that the
vessel was not seen until 9 o'clock, and
then she was in the breakers. broadside
on, a quarter OF a mile from shore. The
promptly Oh hand, but could not use the
boats because of the tremendous surf.
They tried repeatedly to fire a lifeline
over the ship, but the guns could not de-
liver the lines 30 far.
The ship finally succeeded in getting a
liue ashore. tied to a barrel, which the
surf carried IN. A brooches buoy was
quickly rugged and sent out, but u%nfortu-
nately the sailors seemed ignorant of its
use aud work was delayed until the life
savers wrote Instructions and sent them to
the ship in a bottle over the life line. The
crew then proceeded to carry 3ut the in
structions. The first man was delivered
ashore in eight minutes. and seven Others
were rescued before sunset, four coming
in a life boat, which was capsized in the
surf. They were rescued with great diff
GUILTY, half dead.
The beach was lined with people from
country houses and the hotel and. to the
spectators, the anxiety and suspense was
awful. At nightfall there we're still nine
persons on the bark, including the cap
tain, his wife and little child. The cap
cain had urged his wife all day to take the
buoy and cone ashore, but she steadily
refused to leave her husband and child.
as only one could be brought at a time.
Soon after dark the bark went to pieces
in a tremendous sea and the captains
wife and six sailors were lost.
Just before the ship broke up the cap
tain jumped into the sea with his son
strapped to his back and reached shore
alive, but the boy was lost, making a
total OF eight lives. The list of saved is:
Captain j. NJ. G]orQensen, Second Mate
Anderson and seven sailors. The captain
reports that he was trying to made Hamp-
ton Roads, having been disabled by a hur-
ricane since the 18th instant. For four
days the sun had not shone and the
weather was so thick last night that they
struck the breakers before they could see
the coast.
