Jack MoAulEns Makes Cowardly Attack
ON His Former Bacl<er.
New Work, Dec. ~. B. H. Benton,
sporting editor Of the Boston Globe and
former hacker of Jack McAuliffe, ar
rived in this city last Saturday from
England accompanied by John Hag-
;gerty. an English swimmer. Benton is
now'manager for Dick Burge, the Eng
ish ,pugilist, and came here to arrange
a new match between him and Nc.
Auliffe. While Benton was financier
for 'McAuliffe it appears they had some
misunderstanding, Benton looked about
for a man to put against Burge. When
JNcAuliffe learned that his hacker had
thrown him over he became sore and at
various times, it is said, threatened to
get even.
Benton and Haggerty had retired
abot II: 80 o'clock and were chatting in
bed for some time when hall boy
trapped at the door and handed Benton q
card which read:
''Come down stairs. I want to see
you. JACK McAUL1FFE."
Benton sent down that he was in bed,
but would be pleased to receive the
caller in his room. McAuliffe at first
refused to go up stairs, but Ed Stod-
dard, man about town, who accom-
panied McAuliffe. urged him to accept
the lnvlratlon, wnereupon they went up.
Benton was sitting on the edge OF the
bed, ready to welcome his old friend,
when the pair walked into the room.
McAullffe walked straight to where
Benton was, and without warning,
struck him severe blow over the left
arm with heavy cane he carried, and
then began to bang him right and left.
Stoddard stood at the door, and when
Benton made an outcry he locked the
door. McAuliffe, encouraged, knocked
Benton on the floor and began kicking
him about the head and body. The up
roar caused a commotion among the
guests in the hotel and they began to
flock to the room.
Refused to Make Complaint
Policeman Fitzgibbons happened to
be passing the hotel at the time, and he
was called in. He gained an entrance
to the room and separated the fighter
from his toy. Benton refused to enter
complaint, so the officer could no moth
ing but take McAuliffe from the place.
After he had gone Benton feebly picked
himself mp and looked himself over. He
found that his left arm was badly cut,
both eyes discolored and his forehead
swollen. When seen he said that he did
not expect the onslaught, and McAu-
ife's attack was the act of coward.
McAuliffe, he said, was sore because he
had refused to back him, and he
Benyon) knew all his weak points in the
ring, McAuliffe, it is said, was under
the influence of LIQUOR.

which sailed from Liverpool en- Dec. II
for Queenstown, sailing from Queens
town for New York on Dec. aS. The
Umbria has, therefore, been osat from
Queenstown about nine days, which is
at least two days in excess Of what was
expected. The,great storms On the At

serious that reinsuring has already COM

A Queer Custom,

A medieval custom prevails in Freibere,
in Breisgau. This is observed on the
birthday of the reigning grand duke of
Baden, and consists of foolhardy trim to

tower is 400 feet high, and the ascent il
made from the exterior of the building.
The steeplejacks in their ascent have fo

would be death. At the topmost pinnacle
pistol shots announce that the climbera

ANITA WAS FLIGHTY.
Strange Tale of an Alleged Dis
Carded Lover.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 23.-The
relatives and friends of George Bald
win and his wife Anita are making
efforts TO find the present whereabouts
OF the pair. 1t is stated that the runa-
WAYS took a train for the North. where
they are now enjoying their honeymoon
in small town in picturesque part of
SiSkiyou county, where they will re-
main until the end of the week, when
they will return to this city and en-
deayor to secure the forgiveness OF the
brides father.
Edward Marshutts. who arrived in
this city from New York about Septem-
Der OF last year, has given publication
to story in which he claims he has
been badly treated by Anita. Accord
ing to his tale he met her in New York
in September. 1890. Anita. he declares,
fell violently IN love with him.. and went
so far as to propose to him. He ac-
cepted. Lucky Baldwin became aware
of the sentimental feeling which Anita
felt for Marshutts, and informed the
young man he would make him a sub
ject for burial if he persisted in annoy
ing his daughter. Soon after Mr.. Bald
win and Anita came to California. Mar
Shuts shortly followed, and made his
presence known by sending letters to
the girl. These nissiyes were unan-
swered for a long time. Finally Bald
win wrote the following to Marshutts:
Sir: You must not write or speak to my
daughter any more, or annoy her IN any way,
or will attend to you to certainty.
E. j. BALDWIN
P. SIT would afford me the greatest
pleasure to do so.
Intimate friends of Anita say she was
never in love with MarShuttS, and was
much annoyed by his attentions.

THE CHALLENGE GAMES.
One for Tonight and the Second
for SATURDAY..

There will Oe two events Oh Foley's
alleys this evening. The Nushkas will
meet the University team in the second
challenge game for the DAILY GLOBE
emblem, and then will follow match
game between the Press club and a
picked five headed by Mayor Smith and
Judge Cory. The latter will be full of
pleasure, and there Is no question that
big crowd will be out to witness the
two battles.
The GLOBE wishes to explain that
throughout the bowling series the
Nushka team has accommodated all the
other teams and met them, often
through personal sacrifice. Tomorrow
evening it will be impossible for them
to play, and going upon the hypothesis
that they will win this evening, it is but
reasonable that the game with the En-
terprise team be played Saturday even
ing. The GLOBE has no publications to
make concerning who the vlctors tonight
will be. but upon the possibility that it
will be the NuShkaS this change is
made. Consequently the yictors tonight
will try final conclusions with the En-
terprise boys Saturday evening. The
Capitol club is next in line of chall enge
rights, and will play some evening next
week should the Nushkas fall before
the University Or Enterprise clubs.

CoRBETT's CHANCES.
Brady Reviews Them in Impartial
StVle


PITTsBURG, Pa, March 23.-William
A. Brady, of New 7 ork. who will back
jim Corbett in the coming fight with
Sullivan, is in the city. He Indignantly
denies that Corbett is not in to stay and
is confident that his man cannot be
knocked out. In speaking of the fight
and CorbettS chances Brady said:
Corbett reasons in q common sense
way, and has some good arguments.
You go to horse race and bet OH form.
1t is the same here. Corbett is the
most scientific man that ever stepped
into ring. John l.. did not knock out
Kilrain. He was in the ring, but threw
up the sponge. 1t was doubtful, in his
draw with Mitchell. whether he had the
advantage. He did not knock out
Ryan. Jack Burke and Mccartney are
both scientific men. and he did not de-
feat them. Both of these men Corbett
whipped. McCaffrey he Knocked out in
one round. There are no ifs about the
coming match. It's all form. 1t Sulli-
van is defeated, of course, there will he
plenty of explanation about John l..
having passed his best days.
Corbett stands six feet one and half
inches high. Suiliyan'S height is five
feet eleven and half. He has the best
of John l.. IN reach, and all in all is a
more scientific man. Jackson hit Cor
bett but once in their great battle of LOG
rounds. which lasted three hours and a
half. Sullivan has not knocked man
out in five years. and if his first blow
does not finish Corbett he will lose the
fight. This talk about Sullivan's mus
Gle in his arm is all wind. He has
worsted his men by his look and the
grasp of hand when they entered the
ring. He'll not do that with Corbett.
Corbett will go into training i'll June,
between Asbury Park aud Long
Branch, and will thus have three
months and fourteen days. Billy De-
laney and Peter Daily will train him.
His weight will be 1874 pounds.

acquired by treaty from Russia. it can
be stated that the treaty will soon be
ratified by the senate. But resolution
will accompany it, reciting that there
does not appear to be any sufficient
reason for the abatement by the United
Safes of Its claim to jurisdiction, pend
ing arbitration. and authorizing the
president to use all the force of military
arms of the government to insure the
protection Of the rights Of the United
States.
The British View.
MONTREAL, Mach %. The Stars
London correspondent cables: 1.-The
British government does not wish TO
assume Internationally for another
year the damages incurred by Canadian
sailing vessels as consequence of a
renewal of the moduS yivendi in Behr-
ing sea with the American government.
The Stars correspondent says that Lord
Salisbury's reply TO the United States
is understood to continue to decline a
a renewal of the modus vivendi of last
season unless the United States is will
ing to assume the liability and COM
pensate Canadian sealers for their
against the United States claim of
jurisdiction in these waters.
The Graphic says: The dispatch of
portion of the Pacific squadron north
ward shows that Lord Salisbury is not
disposed TO reeede from his posi-
ton. Happily there is plenty
of time for further negotiations.
President Harrison has apparently
taken Lord SalisDury's complacence
for irresolution. hence his staggering
rejoindpr. A little more correspondence
and reflection will show him his mis-
take'
The Telegraph says: We hesitate to
qualify the news as alarming, but it is
certainly troublesome and disquiet-
ing. We can only hope that Presi-
dent HarriSOn's threat of military
coercion is inacurately represented.
1t is always well to remember i'll deal
ing with American bravado of this de-
scription, that elections afford an ex-
cuse for the paliiation Of language
which in other times would be consid
cred outrageous.
