ms FAMILY KILLED.
A Railroad Man Crushed to Death
While at Work.

Yesterday afternoon the sad news
reached this city, to the effect that John
B. Adams, brakeman on the Southern
Pacific road, was killed yesterday morn
ing at Stella, station west of Houston
about fifteen miles.
1t seems that the train was an extra
and was used as gravel train. AS the
cars were being switched at this station,
Mr.. Adams, started to pull out pin
which connected two cars but failed, the
iron being very tight. He walked back
wards with the car, thinking the pin
would loosen and deibera ely walked
into a cattle guard. He was mashed and
then fell on the track, the wheels passing
over both his lower limbs.
The deceased was highly respected
among his fellow workmen. and the news
OF his death is shocking. He.is about 81
years of age.
The body arrived in this city last night
and was taken to Sheern & Burnett'S Of
fee The funeral will take place this af-
ternoon from his late boarding house
near the Sunset depot and will be atten-
ed by large number Of railroad men,

Goddard and Maher to Fight

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Dec. S.-Peter
Maher, who was once thoroughly
whipped by Bob FitZsimmons and
Joe Go ddard who once fought a draw
with Jackson, are to fight at cat b
weights tonight for purse of 81 500
of which 1000 will go to the loser.
Goddard has been trained by Billy
Madden at Mechanicsvile, N. Y,
and is said to be in the pink of con-
dition. His record is long and q
good one. Iu Australia he has a
string OF twelve famous victories,
having whipped Uhoyuski and hsv-
ing fought a draw with Jackson. He
is aching to get on q fight with Cor
bett, but thus far without avail.
Maher's hacker is Dave Holland and
he feels confident that Maher will
make good showing. His most
famous fight was that at New Or
leans with Bob FitZsimmons who con-
coded him many pounds in weight. In
the second round OF that battle blow
by Maher nearly knocked out the Aus
traliau and then began scientific in
fighting which ended with Maher's,
defeat, Fitz5immons knocking him in
the mouth continually. Maher made
one of the pIuckiest fights on record.
Should he win in this fight he will
challenge the winner of the Hall
FitZsimmons battle. Goddard In case
of victory, will press for fight with
Corbett. The referee in the fight to
night will be john Eckhsrdt who
refereed the two last fights of the
club. IL is hoped by the sports, who
will attend that there will be no re-
petition ofthe long and tiresome run
ming match which marked the last
contest between Greggains and Co.'S
tello. The betting is strongly in
favor of Goddard and the feeling
generally is that if Maher wins he
must win in the first few rounds,

these are all bare necessities, comes the
bill for extra table service, which
amounts TO more than you would be-

actress cannot take her meals at the
regular hours and must have things
served quite out of meals times.
Being out so late, she breakfasts at
noon. At 4 she drives, and her supper
comes after the theater at night. Her

into even so gOodly sum as $500 a

people who earn less than 500 often
need and cannot buy the things that
