sluggor Jncltson to Play 0Unqlo Tom,'

Slugger Jackson to Play "UnClo Tom"
San Francisco Special.
Peter Jackson has signed a contract
with Manager .Stockwell, Of San Fran
cisco, to appear as Uncle Tom on Febru-
airy 81. Parson Davies will act as auc-
tioneer. and the piece is expected to
run hereio for three weeks and then be
put on the road. jackson signed the
contract with the stipulation that he
could be free at any time by giving four
months notice, in order that he could
be ready to meet Corbett whenever the
champion will give him chance.
When the proposition to play Uncle Tom
was first preached to Jackson he would
have nothing to do with it, but when
Davies promised to help him he thought
better OF it. The parson told him the
hardest thing in the part is 70 die in
good stage fashion. "Yes," said Peter,
land directly l close my eyes some
fresh hoodlum in the gallery will raise
the laugh by beginning to count me
out"
stockwell thinks Peter will make n
hit in the part, as he has better stage
presence and speaks more distinctly
than Corbett. The other parts will all
be taken by good actors. Jackson is
very eager to meet Corbett in the ring
and settle the question OF superiority.
That 61.round draw rankles in his mind.
Parson Davies, on behalf OF jackson,
will deposit 50, 800 to bind match with
the present champion for $4,000 aside
and tho largest purse offered. The
terms proposed will DO so fair there
can be no doubt the cOlored champion
means business.

A Gifted, Pure and Beautiful Woman lost
to tho stage.
Pittsburgh D.paich,
Flora Walsh, the best known SOU
brette on the American stage, died yes
terday at the fremont House, Boston,
aged twenty.three years. Six years ago
she married Charles II, Hoyt, the author
of "The Texas Steer" "A Temperance
Town" "a Trip to Chinatown" and n
number Of other satirical farce comedies,
Mrs. Hoyt has suffered for a long time
from throat affection. Some months
ago she was forced to relinquish singing,
although she had very sweet voice.
She suffered so much that at tho close
OF the engagement OF "The Texas Steer"
in which she played the role Of Bossy
Brandon, at the DuQuesne theatre Christ
mas week, she returned to Boston with
her husband for treatment, AT that
time she was noticeably hoarse.
Mrs. Hoyt'a complaint failed to yield
to treatment. and the disease progress
ed rapidly. Two operations were per-
formed upon her throat, but without af'
fording any relief. The disease finally
eliminated in pneumonia, which was
the immediate cause OF her death yes
terday.
Mrs. Hoyt was born in San Francisco.
At very early age she successfully fill
cd the role OF Josephine in a juvenile
"Pinafore" company. She created the
soubrette part in nearly every one OF
her husbands plays, and being woman
OF great ability, assisted him materially
in their construction. She was woman
OF much beauty, Of peculiarly winning
manners, and possessed the charm of
purity to It's fullest extent. Mr.. Hoyt
in addition to being q playwright and
theatrical manager, was recently elected
to the New Hampshire legislature, and
is prominent candidate for the speak
ership.
There was nothing in Mrs. Hoyt's
condition to excite alarm until Thurs
day. An alarm OF fire in the hotel
caused q high state Of excitement among
the guests, during which Mrs. Hopt
sprang out Of bed and was nearly pros
trated with fear. Tho next day pneu-
monia developed.

of the Phoenix Club.
The monthly entertainment that will
be given by the Phoenix Athletic club
on the evening of the 10Th will eclipse
every sporting programme ever given i'll
the Northwest. There will he four con-
tests, and the man who can select the
winners OF the events must be endowed
with Inherent qualities, or must be
necrOmancer as il were. They are all
evenly matched, as any one familiar
with the respective proves OF the
candidates for the rich purses Will at
test There are Long jim" BuSby,
who so handly defeated the South st.
Paul Cyclone, and George Smith, the
Ice man. Smith is of herculean stature
and is considered by the talent coming
local boxer. Then Arthur Magoon will
spar Harry Leverns. the Denver boxer,
who recently defeated kid" Burns
before the Olympic. Magoen is an old
time st. Faul boy. Whenbut ten years
of age the Mageon brothers SPARED at
all the local entertainments, and they
were so mighty clever that the audience
invariably shoWered silver coin upon
the stage. A short time ago Arhurs
brother died, and now he will enter the
professional ring.
The event of the evening will be the
ten-round contest between Dick Moore
and jackson, the Detroit cyclone. They
will weigh i'll slightly above $50 pounds
each. or in the middleWeight class.
Both are clever opponents of the Del
Sarte art, and each is looking for the
purse and the reputation that accrues.
Flynn and Shepard, the two that gave
all unsatisfactory exhibition at the
Olympic last Friday evening, have also
signed for eight rounds, Police Gazette
rules. At the former meeting Flynn
lost his temper, and the contest became
too rough to suit the police. Rules were
repeatedly violated, but the Phoenix
club stipulates that no purse money will
be paid unless the sparring is scientific
and in accordance with the code.
Thompson and Taylor, two heavy
weights, will finish the entertainment.
Thompson mas recently arrived from the
East, where he has defeated several
likely heavy-weights, but Taylor is ali
unknown quantity.

Wisconsin's Agricultural Soci-
ety's Financial Milestone.
MADISON, Wis. Feb. THE annual
farmers convention of the state opened
here this evening with rather limited
attendance. A. Parkinson, president
of the state agricultural society, made
an address, the point of which was that
the society was in debt $4,000 and ex-
pected that amount in loan from the
state. The society will hold no fair next
fall if this assistance is not Youch-
safed. Gov. Peck also said, and
was inclined to think, that the state
society INDUCED in fancy grounds at the
expense Of the farmers pront and en-
joyment. Then he branched off on the
subject of good roads, and said it was
the most important now before the pub
lie. He urged that the people should be
educated up~-to Improvement in this
direction. President Adams. of the
state university, also enlarged on the
value of good roads. and dwelt upon the
changed condition they wrought in
England. The horticulturists and other
organizations are also meeting here this
week.

Unfounded Report That Billy
Murphy Was Dead

New YORK, Feb. 7.-There was this
afternoon a sensational rumor to the
effect that Billy Murphy, who was de-
faated last night by Johnnie Griffin,
after a savage conflict. in the Coney
Island club house, had died of his in
jures early this morning. Murphy was,
however. found soon after the publica-
ton of the story. 800 | look as if |
was dead man?" he asked. Il guess
not. | am good for another GO" OF
his defeat Murphy said it was unex-
pected until after the fourth round,
when he saw that only chance blow
would save him from defeat. He attri-
Dutes his defeat to lack of proper train
ing, and claims that his wind was gone
early in the contest. Two small bones
of his riSht hand are broken. His nose,
which is badly disfgured and swollen,
appears to be broken. He will see a
physician.
Murphy will once more challenge
George Dixon to combat. He is anxious
to get the sable gladiator, but the opln-
Jon is that Dixon will not fight him.
Griffin Will most probably go on the
stage.

Sheedy Says Corbett and Mitchell
Cannot Get Together.

-ST. LOUIS, Feb Pat Sheedy, the
well-known sporting man and hacker of
pugilists, is here on his way to the City
of Mexico. When approached today
with regard to his recent tilt with Cor
bett, Slreedy SAID he did not care to dis
cuss the matter, but in moment added:
But there is one thing | wish to say.
and that is that there is nothing per
sonaI i'll anything have said about
Corbett. For Corbett, as gentleman
and as fighter, have great respect"
"DO you think the proposed Corbett-
Mitchell fight will come otf?''
No; not if COrbett can prevent it.
The truth is, Corhett doesn't want to
fight Mitchell, and he will demand so
many unreasonable things of Mitchell
that the match will finally fall through"
"Have you anything further to say,
Mr.. Sheedy. as to the charge that you
made that Corbett sent money to San
francisco TO bet against himself in his
fight with SuIlivan?"
"Only this: | received that informa-
tioh from reliable persons, any number
of them. John Donaldson, who was in
Corbett's corner at New Orleans, was
one of the persons. Isimply said in my
letter what people had told me-"
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 7.-When ques-
toned tonight as to the statements of
Pat Sheedy, Corbett simply said: ''It
is beneath my notice. will say moth
ing about it," On being pressed a little
! further he remarked: Il do not
know this man Sheedv. Inever met
him over four or five times III my
| life, and | do not know what
reason he has for attacking me. AS to
my sending money to New Orleans to
bet against myself, that is all nonsense.
Even if / had done it, it would not have
been crime, but L did not do it, and
that is all there is about the matter"
Sullivan positively refused to talk
about the matter.

apparently intending to kill him, and
then rob the house. The wife and two
daughters of Grabenherst came to his
rescue. Together they overpowered the
tramp, beat him badly with his own
pistol, and then tied him securely with
ropes. The fellow, who gave his name
as Joseph Ross, was brought to Boone
by neighbors of the family, and is now
in Jail.
