JAY GOULD Is SICK.
Weak From Insomnia, the Re-
suit of Indigestion.
HE SUFFERS A. HEMoRRHAeE.
The Family Greatly AIsrmed-He Will
Go on q Southern Trip Next Week
IL Able to Travel.

NEW YORK. Feb. IA morning paper, usu-
ally reliable in reference to the movements oil
Gould, this morning says in its headlines, "Jay
Gould Is sick" and in postscript to story
about Gould's alleged Hines had this:
"Ur. Mum remained at the house all
night AT 1:30 this morning there was
dim light In the parlor, and Edwin Gouids
rooms on the third floor were also Lighted.
Edwin Gould, who was sitting up, said MS
father was unable 10 sleep, being troubled with
indigestion. He seemed slightly weak Dr.
Mum has gone 10 bed. No apprehensions were
entertained by the family or physician"
This morning the World prints another long
story about Gould, told by an intimate friend
of the family, whose statement may be de-
pended upon, but who does not wish his name
published" Ths informant said Gould
was taken alarmIngly Ill after the re-
ception Tuesday night, rich food having
unsettled his stomach. Wednesday he was
troubled with insomnia and Thursday he was
weak and suffering from want of rest. Early
Friday morning he was seized with violent
hemorrhage, and DIR. Mum, who was in al ad-
joining room, sent out messenger for doctor
living near by to aid hiIa. The doctor was not
at home, but by the time the messenger
returned the hemorrhage had ceased and
DR.. Mum decided he did not need
another physician. Gould had used three hand
kerchefs, and they were saturated with blood.
Gould was greatly weakened by violent cough
ing, but not by loss OF blood.
Ii is the first time he ever had hcmorrhage,
and the family were much alarmed. IL he con-
tinues TO improve il is the intention to let him
start on his proposed Southern trip Monday or
Tuesday.

coast states OF this Union with the nations OF
Central and South America This commerce Is
expanding and demands increased harbor
facilities which can be here afforded of i'm
meuse size, of fresh water and at
expense exceeding small In compari-
son with the benefits to be derived.
The construction of this canal will not only
afford an entrance to Lake Washington, which
will thereby become q fresh water harbor for
ocean vessels where commerce by Iand and
water may meet and exchange, but it will also
afford depot for government vessels when not
Ia service, where they will be secure from tho
ravages OF the teredo and unincumbered by
barnaelss or other marine growths, as well as
safe from storms or foes
The government has recently provided, in the
interest OF commerce, deep saltwater facilities
at Galveston, Tex. The reasons for providing
a fresh water harbor on this coast are certainly
as great Or greater, while the expense will be
less than one-haf.
We respectfully urge that you freely confer
with the members of congress from this state
upon the subject, and give the measure your
favorable consideration and support.

CAPE FLATTERY LIGHT.
The Beacon That Warns the Mariner OF

CLALLAM BAY, Feb. 26-[SpeeiaL THE Cape

had been hewn which could be climbed. The
lighthouse is in charge of Keeper Sampson and
three assistants, who have & comfortable two

ballasted aud weighted down with stone to pre-
vent its being blown into the lea. The duties OF
the llghtkeepers are easy, but the lie is one of

The Pennsylvania Lies Down in the
Third Round at San FrancIaco.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26-The much-talked-of
welter-weight fight between Charley Kemmick,
OF Minneapolis, and Hite Peckham, OF Bradford,
Pa, drew large crowd to the quarters OF the
Pacific Club today. 1t had been announced
that the winner would be matched against the
winner OF the Ryan-Needham contest, next
Monday night, for the welter-weight champion
ship of America, and the long list OF victories
OF each man added further interest to the
event tonight The men were matched at al
pounds, with limit OF two pounds additional,
but it is understood that they weighed in at l45
each. Betting shortly before the fight was at
odds of 20 to IA, with Kemmick the favorite.
Martin Murphy, Billy Smith of Australia and
Dick Graham seconded Kemmick; Tim Nc
Grath, Billy Smith of Boston and George La
vigne seconded Peckharn. The purse was 81 800.
Time was called at $40 p
First found-Slight sparring was followed by
Peckham dropping on his knees couple of
times near the ropes in eyading Kemmick's
right
second-Peckham landed both hands on KEN
mick's head, who stood with hands down.
Peckham Rugged the ropes, but made number
OF left leads for kemmick's chest. Kemmick
scored left in the wind and on the point of the
Jaw, Peckham slipping
Third-Kemmick dropped Peckham with a left
in the wind, aud then threw him in clinch.
Peck ham made number of wild leads and sud

mick again drove his left on the jaw, and the
Bradford man again went down on his face and
stayed until counted out He was dragged 10 his
chair by his seconds, amid the hooting of the
entire audience.
President Doherty took the stage aud an
nounced that the club was satisfied the fight had
been "put up Referee Pullman's announce
ment that he declared the fight no contest was
greeted with cheers.
Drs. 0'Donnell and Taylor, upon request of
President Doherty, made an examination of
Peckham while the crowd waited. They re-
ported Peckhan in perfect condition, and an
nounced to the club that they had no hesitation
in saying the fight was faxed on Peckhsm's
part Kemmick was seen in the dressing room
and said he would meet Peckham for anything
the club would give. He expressed himself as
disguised with the outcome of his matches in
San Francisco, and claimed that this was the
second one he had been iobbed out Of KEN
mick was previously matched to meet NeCann
at the California Club, but the match was de-
clared off, Mccain being much over weight.
President Doherty stated in an interview later
that he would not give either man another
match or anything OF the purse.

A GRAVEYARD sWINDLE.
Chief Inspector Seybolt Tells of Ne
braska Sharper,s Trick.


George I. scybelt, of San Jose, chief postal in
spector of the Pacific division, was at the Occi-
dental hotel last night, with II. p Thrali. OF San
Francisco, one OF his assistants. In speaking OF
the frauds which suindlers endeavor to perpe-
trate by the use OF the mails, Mr.. Seybolt, who
is veteran in the service, said: "We are con-
stantly at work running down one case after
another. The world is SO full OF people who
jump at what seems a chance to get something
for nothing, ana so full of people who actually
like to be fooled, that sharper can always find
plenty OF victims. sometimes scheme is
nipped in the bud, but in many cases q swindler
Will collect thousands OF dollars before we can
get on his track and secure sufficient evidence
to warrant an arrest.
'0ne OF the oldest plans ever came across
was devised by man in Nebraska, some years
ago, at the time. in fact, when the excitement
over the mines in the Black Hills
was at its height This man got the
nams9of people in all parts of the country, and
wrote to each letter, saying in effect: Dear Sir
John Smith, a miner, on his way home from
the Black Hills, was taken sick here and died.
In looking over his effects we find gold watch,
two silver-mounted revolvers, and deeds to
some valuable mining property. We have also
found your name among his papers, and we
judge that you are the person to whom these
things should be forwarded. II you will kindly
send $40 to pay for the attendance and medicine
for the deceased and general expenses, will see
that the trunk goes to you at once
"Any man getting such letter IS that knew
that he had earthly right 10 the effects OF the
supposed dead man, ana yet there were not q
few who yielded to the temptation aud sent the
$40 OF course, the gold watch and the two
silve--mounted revolvers' would alone be worth
$40 to say nothing of the untold value OF the
deeds
anyone sending the $40 to get what did not
belong to him had no right to complain when
the trunk failed to come-and you can be sure
that trunk was never heard OF.
''When 1 arrested the swindler, he had on his
person several letters with money in them"

commissioners rejected the petition of citizens
here who asked that G. W. Hin be appointed
Justice OF the peace. The request was made
because this precinct is a very large one and the
Justice lives at the farther end of 1t, ten miles
away. The people wanted one residing in
town. The commissioners said they could not
appoint a second justice in precinct. The
only way to get two Is by an election, and as
