LA GRIPPE'S RAVAGES.
THE DEATH RATE IN CHICAGO
STILL INCREASING.
One Hundred and Sixty-ave Deaths in
Twenty-Four Hours-Nearly All Due
to the Grip-Other Cities Afflicted.

b CHICAGO, March 31.-The deaths re-
ported. at the health Office today num-
bered 1865, the larger proportion of
which were caused by pulmonary
trouble induced or aggravated by la
grippe. For the first three days this
week 400 certificates were turned in. A
remarkable fact is that the city was
never more free tiom contagious fevers,
diphtheria, etc., and the terrible mortal
ity appears chargeable directly to the
prevailing influenza epidemic.

tinues favorable for its spread.

Riding the Wooden Horse.

Torture on a grand scale went out
with FELTON,, the assassin of Bucking-
ham, but torture on small scale con-
tinued to be practiced on military Of
Tenders down to the Eighteenth century.
The form most frequently resorted to
was that known as the wooden horse, to
ride which was the punishment accorded
for petty thefts. insubordination, and so
on. The wooden horse was made of
'planks nailed together so as to form a
sharp ridge or angle about eight or nine
feet long. This ridge represented the
back of the horse, and was supported by
four posts or legs about five feet high,
placed on stand made movable by
truckles. To complete the resemblance
with the noblest animal in creation a
head and tail were added.
When soldier was sentenced, either
by court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
on the brute's back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, in
order to increase the pain, mpskets were
fastened to his legs to weigh them down
or, as was jocularly said, to prevent the
fiery, untamed, barebacked steed from
kicking him off.-London Graphic.

Affairs In the Coke Regions FavOring the
Workers.
PIrrsBURG, March 31.-Affairs in the
coke region today closed quietly and
rather favoring the, workers. Over 100
warrants have been issued for rioters,
but trouble will be encountered in serv-
ing them, as the foreign element is ex-
cited. The Federation of Labor today
officially declared the cokers' strike a
fight for eight hours, and pledged the
support of the organization.
CLOTHING CUTTERS WEAKEN.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 31.-A good
many of the striking clothing cutters
have been taken back to work. At a
mass meeting of cutters, trimmers and
foremen this morning, a resolution was
adopted in which they sever, their con-
nection with the Knights of Labor, and
declare their intention of furthering the
interest of their employers. It is
thought, in view of the above action,
the clothing manufacturers will decide
to take back all the men.
DIsGRUNTLED CARPENTERS.
Boston, Mass, March 31.-At secret
meeting of the carpenters union last
evening, the feeling expressed against

strong, and there was sentiment in
favor OF taking radical action. One of
the members stated after the meeting
that there would be strike for eight
hours this spring.

worlds Fair Matters.

CHICAGO, March 31.-Ex-President
Gage, of the local worlds fair directory
is quoted as saying there will be radi-
cal change in the next board. It is un-
derstood that this will result largely
from the discomfort with the action on
the site question. The trade interests,
that were not organized at the first cleo
ton, are now working together, and will,
it is expected, cut large figure in the
election.
The national board of control will re-
port to the commission that President
Palmer consents to the reduction of his
salary to $4,000, Vice-Chairman McKen-
zie takes $4,000 off his, and Secretary
Dickenson cuts his SIC, 900 in two. These
reductions alone win effect a saving Of
$4,000.

The Great Glove Contest at
Troy.
Mccarthy Was Game But He
Wasn't In 1t.
The Boston Colored Boy Had 1t His
Own Way.
But It Required Twenty-Five Rounds
to Knock His P1ucky OPP
pOnent Out.
Associated Press Dispatches.

Troy, N. Y, March 31.-The great
glove contest between Cal Mccarthy OF
Jersey City, and George Dixon OF Bos-
ton came off tonight, and the colored
Boston lad was the victor. Crowds came
from all directions and the rink was
packed to its utmost capacity. The odds
were in favor Of Dixon. This is proba-
bly, accounted for by the fact that a ru-
NOR prevailed all day that Mccarthy
had been drinking and not taking
proper care OF himself. The fight was
for the feather-weight championship
and $4,000. Side-bets were plentiful and
great excitement prevailed. 1t is be-
lieved that fully $25,00O must have
changed hands on the result.
Dixon was seconded by Tom O'Rourke
and H. Hodgkins. McCarthy's seconds
were Jack McAuliffe and Billy Madden.
Jerry Dunn was referee. The scale was
set at 115 pounds. Neither man tipped
the beam at that mark, and they jumped
off, so that none of those present could
ascertain their exact weight.
Sheriff Tappan was served with an in
junction tonight, restraining him from
interfering with the fight. Both men
were apparently IN prime condition
when they entered the ring.
In the first round the men spared
cautiously and exchanged blows evenly.
In the second Mccarthy was too eager,
and throwing himself open to Dixon's
swings, was fioored twice in quick order,
being almost knocked out the second
time.
In the third, Mccarthy again tried
mitigating and got the worst of it, but
in the fourth he was cautious and had
the best Of the round.
In the fifth Dixon forced the fighting,
and punished Mccarthy severely, getting
one clean knock down.
In the next three rounds there was
hard fighting, with honors about even.
In the ninth, Mccarthy was pushed
hard at long range, and Dixon landed
heavily on his nose, making it bleed
freely.
In the next round both tried long range
tactics with no particular damage.
In the eleventh there was hard fight
ing and Mccarthy cut a deep cash un-
der Dixon's right eye with a left-handed
upper cut swing.
In the twelfth, Dixon forced matters
and Mccarthy, who was bleeding freely,
clung to his neck to avoid punishment.
In the next two rounds Mccarthy was
very cautious, but in the fifteenth,
rushed and got in three left-hand upper
cuts which split Dixon's lip and loosened
his teeth.
For the next three rounds, little dam
age was done, but in the twenty-frst,
Dixon forced matters and drove Nc
Carthy all over the ring, knocking him
down.
In the twenty-second Dixon knocked
Mccarthy down as fast as he got up,
until he was completely exhausted. At
the end of this round the referee de-
clared Dixon the winner.
Six ounce gloves were used.

WHAT BANCROFT SAW.
An Epitome of the History of Our
Country.

What tstupendous changes, revolutions,
discoveries and inventions this veneer
able old man who died yesterday in
Washington has beheld! He was nine
years old when the second administra-
ton of Thomas Jefferson came to an
end. He was we'll advanced in Latin
and Greek when war was declared
against England under the administra-
ton of Mr.. Madison. He was a student
at Harvard when Napoleon lost and
Wellington won the battle of Waterloo.
He saw the old stage coach superseded
by the railroad. He saw oil give
electricity. He saw the birth
of the telegraph and delivered the ora
ton when congress commemorated the
services of the great Morse. He saw the.
Republic expand from sixteen to two
and forty states. He saw it's population
grow from few millions to more than:
two and sixty. He saw the great wave
ofprogress and civilization rise on the
Atlantic side of the continent and roll
on and on, or overwhelming every In
dian tribe, and, at last, subsiding on the
shores of the Pacific. He was older by
quarter OF century than the oldest of
all the republics of South America. He
was older in fact, when he died yester-
day, than any government in Europe.
with the exception, perhaps,o England
and Russia.
What legion of eminent men he,
knew-the greatest names in modern
English, French, German, and, OF course,
American history. At the universities
of Gottingen snd Heidelberg, where his
education was finished, many of the fore
most scholars of Germany were among
his professors. He was intimate, as
young man, with Schleirmacher.W William
Won Humboldt, Savigny, Lappenberg
and Varnhagen Won Ense. He made
the acquaintance of Goethe at Jena.
He knew Byron, and had a first edition
OF Don Juan, with the poets auto
graph in it, presented by Byron him
self. He knew all the presidents
from John Adams down to Benjamin
Harrison, and he was the friend and ad-
wiser of many of them, beginning with
James K. Polk. Lincoln sought his coun-
sci in the dark days of the war, and An
drew Johnson, in the hour OF his dis
gave him one of the highest offices in
his gift. He knew Prescott and Won
Ranke. The first Emperor William,
Bismarck and Won Moltke were his
friends. He founded the naval academy
at Annapolis. He gave the order
for the invasion of Texas and
the seizure OF California. Away
back in the "forties'' he ran for
governor of Massachusetts. and before
that he was collector of the port of Bos-
ton. When he was only nineteen years
of age the eminent DR.. Joseph G. Cogs-
we'll wrote of him: "He is to make one
of our great men," The prediction was
indeed verified. At one time or another
he was minister to England, to the North
German confederation, comprising twen-
ty-eight states, and to the German en-
pire. He was in the cabinet of Polk,
and declined more offices than he ac-
cepted.-[New York World.

SAN BERNARDINo TIN.
The Furnaces at Cajalco are Turning
Out the Pigs.


The Riverside Press prints the fol
lowing:
James H. Crossman, superintendent
OF the Gabilan gold mines, accompanied
by his wife, came up from Temescal this
morning. He brought several small
bars OF the first tin drawn from the fur
mace on Thursday evening last, beautiful
specimens, with the word "TemescaP
stamped on the top of each bar.
Mr.. Crossman informs us that the
new smelter works to perfection, is a
grand success, and the tin 80 per cent.
pure metal, the purest tin ever run from
any furnace in the world. About ten
tons were cast, principally in 100-pound
ingots, which will be sent as specimens
to some OF the principal manufacturing
cities in all parts of the world.
Mr.. Mathe, superintendent OF the tin
mines, is the fortunate inventor OF new
reverberatory furnace for burning oil
instead OF coal, and Thursday was the
first time the new method has ever been
put to practical test. The result is a
grand success, even beyond the invent
or's expectations, and will revolutionize
the smelling business all over the
world. Mr.. Mathe has a fortune in
his invention, and we congratulate
him upon his success. Heretofore
coal has been absolutely necessary for
smelling purposes, but Mr.. Mathe has
generated much greater heat with oil.
Not only tin but gold, silver and other
metals can be smelted with oil by his
process. The furnace will be run con-
stantly from now on, the supply OF ore
is absolutely inexhaustible, and the
Temescal tin mines can furnish the
world with tin.
Mr.. Crossman is feeling highly elated
ever the prospects of the gold mines at
San Gabilan. belonging to the San ia
cinto estate, and which he is developing.
They have struck four large, strong veins
OF gold-bearing quartz, assaying way
up" the mill run of which will be from
$50 to $50 per ton; and as there are i'm
mense quantities, easily extracted, it is
plain to see the millions in it," Mr..
Crossman says it would pay big if the
ore only run S.. H. s. Harris, of Corn
wall, England, one of the large owners
in the San Jacinto estate, is at present
visiting the mines, and is greatly pleased
with the outlook.

Flies and Sassafras.

Nothing mars the enjoyment OF a
glass of cool and sparkling soda water
more than the settling of score of flies
upon the marble slab while the thirst
allayers are being dispensed. The day
of the sticky and poisonous fly paper
has gone, however, so far as drug stores
needs are concerned. At least, he use
of the paper will be discontinued when
it is generally known that the only thing
on earth that huzzy of buzzy fly
cannot stomach is sassafras. To the
most outrageous of flies the slightest
aroma of sassafras is a quietus of Won
derful power. A reporter caught all
the above information yesterday as
he encircled his parched throat about
phosphate in Broadway drug
store. The airy clerk toyed with an
atomizer as the reporter listened. With
graceful sweeps he blew mist OF sassa-
fras extract all over the slab of marble.

BENIcIA, CAL, March 31.-A woman

A STUPID INSULT.

Councilman Rees Unwarrantably In
suits the Police Secretary.
There was an incident which occurred
at the meeting of the council on Mon
day. which deserves to be chronicled.
The report recommending the increase
of the salaries of the police detectives,
and secretary, was under consideration
Mr.. Rees, in reply to speech from Mr..
McGarry advocating the measure, and
particularly that part which raised the
secretary's pay, said that "Mr. McGarry
has pet dog which he wants hundred
dollars month for"
Mr.. McGarry protested against the
use OF such language, and finally Mr..
Rees very ungracefully withdrew the
terms.
Mr.. Rees in his stupid utterance
grossly insulted most valuable mem
ber OF the police force, Secretary f. d.
Curran. Mr.. Curran now does the
work for which, two years ago, the
clerk received 500 month, and not
only the same work, but great amount
more. He has to look after the entire
business of the department, and bears
responsibilities and performs duties the
equal of which in mercantile office
would carry with them salary of $500
or $500 month. Mr.. Curran is an
Irishman, and because OF excessive pat
riotism was forced to leave his country
twenty-six years ago and came to this
country, where he has always carried
himself as an accomplished gentleman.
He is man of education and of excel
lent reputation. Mr.. Rees's insult can
not hurt Mr.. Curran, but it will not
raise Mr.. Rees in the estimation of the
public.
