Yesterday noted sporting man received
letter from an Eastern pugilst, which has
the following about Mccain and his record ::
Jack McCann is II years old, feet So
inches In height. and is a true middle
weight wien in condition. When Arthur
Chambers opened sporting house in Phila-
delphia about seven years ago, Mccain met
all corners for three months, ana succeeded
IN defeating over twenty aSpirants for pugii-
istic fame. During this time he boxed five
fOur-round draws with Jack Dempsey boxed
Pete Mccoy twice, got a decision and draw
once; boxed La Blanche twice, draw once
and La blanche got decision once.
Mctann then weighed 40 pounds. He has
met nearly all the best middle-weights in
the country. He went under cover to Frisco
and as you know many OF the sports thought
that be came from Australia. His battle
with Gallagher at the Olympic Club ended
in the quick defeat of the latter. Now you
have McCann's record as far as l know,
and it will come pretty near being right"

TEN now running over it, the low-lying
blocks In the neighborhood have become,
1or all intents and purposes, open cess
pools Tor the district. Davis street, between
Clay and Washington, has been in a dis
graceful state all winter. Being several

into 1t by every storm, so that with every
shower 1t became amalodorous pond which,
as the weather changed. gradually became
slcSening mire under the evaporating
influence of the warm sun.
SIX weeks ago Superintendent of Streets
James Giileran undertook to make some
Improvements there. and for time every
produce man on the block wore a smile of
peace and contentment. Yesterday all that
was changed, and madden lot of merchants
IL would be hard to find.
~ Ihe cause of their anger Is thus explained /:
Inc superintendent decided that a sewer
was needed, the produce men concurred
and the work was ordered done. The con.
tractor took just two weeks to complete the
JOo, during all OF which time the street was
torn up and impossible. The merchants were
sofely Inconvenience by the blocking of
their thoroughfare, which practically brok e
up thelr business for the time being, but
thhklng ot the benefits they would derive
from the Improvement, they made no CON-
plant. The sewer completed business re-
Vived, and for week everything was serene.
just then Mr. Gilleran thought it would
De wei to raise the grade to cores pond
win that OF Clay street. Again the bust
ness men fell in with his idea, and work was
begun. 1t was just three weeks ago yester-
Day tnat hundreds of loads of sand were
carted in and dumped upon the cobbles to
the depth OF two feet and over. So far that
IS all that has been accomplished, though
the merchants have looked in vain for the
basalt blocks and the PAYERS.
For three weeks that block has been i'm
passaole TO the heavy trucks which are a
necessary part OF the business transacted
there, and yesterday, seeiug that forbear-
ance ceased TO be virtue, the clerks and
drivers from the several houses turned out
en- masse, and erected monuments which
we're sure to awaken the Superintendent to
recollection of their needs.
The first monument erected was in the
mlduie OF the crossing OF Washington and
Davis streets, where a sign was placed
bearing the notice, No thoroughfare
through this graveyard" Just south of

was smaller cross. upon which were
the words, "See that my grave is kept
green" This Injunction was followed ont
by liberal trimming of fruit. vegetables,
cabbage leaves and branches of shrubbery.
Further along the street was an enclosure
with signboard showing that it was the

Field, with its graves for city paupers and
unknown dead; and last Of all, at the Clay
street end, another monument with the

About o'clock in the afternoon a deputy
from the Superintendent Of Streets office
came painting upon the scene and proceeded
to demolish the irritating and Objectionable
decorations. While thus employed he was
followed by the boots and jeers of the busi-
ness men and their employees, to placate
the noisiest of whom he took the crowd
into corner saloon ana stood treat. But
this did not appease them bit, and upon
their continued taunts the deputy took him
