A DESPERATE FUGITIVE.
Dominic McAuIiffe Threatened to Kill
a Girl If She Testified Against
Him.

Dominic McAuliffe, Chinatown guide,
for whose arrest warrant has been issued
for enticing two minor girls into dis
reputable resort in Brooklyn place, is still
eluding the police. He has been located
in several places recently, but every at
tempt to arrest him has thus far met with
failure.
McAuliffe's latest exploit took place
Saturday night when he visited the house
of Miss Cosotti, one of his intended vic
tins, at 704 Laguna street. 1t was after
midnight when McAuliffe knocked upon
the door and in threatening manner de-
manded admittance.

Unknown Man.


David Smith, an expressman living at
the King House, Fourth and Howard

skull. He was accompanied by his friend

in his room about o'clock yesterday
morning and beat him on the head till he
was unconscious.
DIR. Berry gave him certificate to admit
him to the City and County Hospital and
he and his friend left TO go there. Instead
they walked to Fifth and Market streets,
where Hill was seized with an epileptic
fit and was taken to the Receiving Hos
ltital. Smith called to see him at the
hospital two hours later, He was asked
WHY he had not gone to the City and
County Hospital and replied that he felt

That there is some serious thinking being

that is easily established by attendance at
any of the meetings of the Board of Super

consultation with any of the downtown

Two Deaths Investigated by the Deputy
Coroner Not Suspicious.

Deputy Coroner Tyrrell investigated the
death of William Stuart, who died at 2S4
Jessie street Wednesday, and found the
man had succumbed to natural causes.
Stuart lived at the residence of Mrs.
Kate Hall, 2S4 Jessie street. Mrs. Halls
husband died suddenly a few weeks ago,
but left no property for his wife.
AS soon as Stuart learned he could not
live he willed what little he had to the
landlady. This fact caused rumors to cir
culate through the neighborhood that both
Hall and Stuart had been poisoned. Tyr
rells investigation yesterday proved con-
clusively that no grounds existed for the
charge, as both deaths had been from nat
ural causes.

Coming Battle
BOTH MEN WILL SURELY WIN

bett Thinks

There are two women in the country
today who are more deeply excited over
the outcome of the great Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight than even the champions
themselves. Women usually take little
interest in the doings of the PRIZE ring,
except to denounce it as brutal and de-
moralizing. but these two women have
particular reason for their unusual inter-
est. The fact that one OF them is Mrs.
James ]. Corbett and the other is Mrs.
Robert Fitzsimmons is sufficient explana-
tiun of their excitement.
On the night of October 31st next either
Ccrbett or Fitzsimmons will retire from

was when Bob defeated him. Dan Cree

easily disposed of uy Bob; so easily in
fact that no one knows just how good
Bob Is. That will be shown, though,
within a short time
Mrs. Fitzsimmons will accompany her
husband and his party to Texas, but will
remain in Gavelston while the fight is in
progress. She will have bulletins sent
TO her by a special wire. which will tell
the story OF the contest round by round.
The party will probably leave for the
Lone Star state on October 18th, travelling
in special Pullman and baggage cars,
which have already been arranged for.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons will personally attend
to the preparation of the fighters food
while on the road and in Texas. The
baggage car will be fitted with gymnastic
appliances, wlich will allow Fitzsim-
m ohs to continue his training without
interruption.
Now the other side. The present Mrs.
James D. Corbett, known far and wide as
the Vera in recent divorce suit, is an
unusually pretty woman of the blonde
type, and has also been identified with
the vaudeville world.
She has not the all-round knowledge
of pugilism that Mrs. Fitzsimmons has
but she has unbounded faith in the clev-
erness of her husband. The training of
a fighter is all Greek to her, and it is one
of Corbett's favorite amusements to show
her the difference between a right-hand
swing and a left-hand jab. When she
notes the wonderful speed and terrific
power of the blows, she marvels at the
auuacity of any man who willingly gets
in the way of them.

TWO GERMAN PRINCES

The crown prince of Germany and his
brother, Prince Eitel Fritz, are growing
up fine manly boys, of whom their au-
gust pare1 is may well be proud. There
is considerable difference between the
two, the elder being bloHde and very like
his father and already posses ing mill
tary bearing, which shows that lin days
to come he will. like the emperor, be
soldier before all else. The younger one
takes far more after his mother. and has
dark hair. now closely cropped, instead OF
worn IN curls as formerly, The latter has
outgrown his brother, and is broader and
more robust III build. He is also heavier,
we Ching forty-six kilos, while the crown
prince turns the scale at thirtysix kilos.
Both have the same bright and winning
expression and charming manners. they
are greatly attached to their suite, and
all the members of the household evlnce
the utmost devotion to tneir young
charges. When travelling incognlto the
princes are addressed as the Counts OF
Ravens5urg, and all letters are forwarded
to them under that name.
Great cara is taken that the princes do
not become mbued with too early sense
of their own importance. The word OF
their mentor, Colonel Won Defines. is law
to them, and must be obeved unbesitat-
ingly, no matter what private inclination
may say but it is ever the desire OF
those in authorly over them to make
study.as pleasant and as much OF pas
time as possible. Their recreation is
never idle or profitless. The crown prince
is promising performer on the violin,
and finds great pleasure in learning, while
another favorite amusement OF his is col

much interesting knowledge at the same

The Republican conference yesterday
brought together prominent Republicans
from every section of the State. AS
there was no particular business TO
bring the members of the party together.
the attendance of so large and so repre-
sentative a body of Republicans is very
encouraging. The younger men of the
party, into whose hands the organization
has so largely and SO worthily fallen,
constituted a large majority of those at
tending the conference. 1t is fortunate
not only for the party but for the State
that the organization embraces so many
able and jealous young men. The meet
ing was for an interchange of opinions
as to the work of the future. On this
subject there was practical unanimity.
All the reports were Of the most hopeful
nature. Special and private inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the free-coinaC
craze which threatened SO serious conse-
quences last April has passed away so
far as the Republican party is on
cerned. Here and there a man may go
to the Populists because of it, put the
detection of a handful is of no conse-
quence compared with the new faith
In a sound currency which has come to
thinking Republicans. The silver ques-
ton canno be a prominent issue in the
year 1896. So far as the money question
will be an issue between the two parties,
1t will be one between national and State
bank issue of notes.
So far as the Journal could get at the
| opinion of Republicans at the conference,
the tariff and other questions Of protec-
ton and revenue will be the leading
issues in the next campaign. 1t Will not
be a fight for the re-enactment of the
Mckinley law, but for a system which
will insure American industries adequate
protection. The next question in point
of prominence will be a demand on the
part of the Republican party for a more
positive foreign policy which will make
the Monroe doctrine effective rather thar
a reiteration of phrase.
While there are rivalries for the honors
which a victorious party has to confer
upon individuals, there are no warning
factions in the Republican party of In
diana to threaten that harmony which
is the first essential to success. Never
was the Republican party of Indiana in
higher courage or in a better condition
for an aggressive battle.

AN Ex-pRBsIDExT IN QUARANTINE.

a
Little things are sometimes more indie
1t is the unstudied incidents and express
sions of everyday life that afford the
best index of true nature. As soon as
General Harrison was notified by tele-
graph that his little grandson was iii
with scarlet fever at Saratoga he started
at once for hat place. Some may say
this was not at all remarkable, yet not
every man thinks it necessary to travel
several hundred miles to be with a sick
grandchild whose parents are with it.
When General Harrison reached Sara
toga a prominent citizen who held office
under his administration invited him to
stay at his house. The invitation was
politely declined on the ground that the
ex-President wished to be near the sick
child. When he was told by the attend
ing physician hat the house was quaran-
tined and that if he took up his quar-
ters there he would have to remain
until the quarantine was removed, his
answer was. very well; i will take my
place and remain with the child And
SO he did. II the disease should take a
malignant turn the quarantine might be
continued long enough to prevent General
Harrison's appearance in the Supreme
Court of the United states in an i'm
portant case he Is about to argue. No
matter; he would take his place and re-
main with the child.
The incident is characteristics. and vet
not more so than many other unstudied
revelations OF General .Harrison's char
acter. The world thinks him cold, and

political opponents or personal critics

recognizes but one motive, and that is

1t is not necessary for the President of
the United States in HIS official capacity
TO carry his heart on his sleeve.
But no man has a warmer heart thar
General Harrison or is more unreserved
in showing it when occasion requires.
His sympathies &c out quickly and
STRONGLY to the sick and afflicted. and
few men have his capacity for suffering
with those who suffer. With those who
need sympathy he is anything but a
cold There is nothing remarkable

The city Of Milwaukee, which has just
been celebrating its semi-centennial an
niversary, is a good Illustration of the
growth of a Western city of solid ad-
vantages. Fifty years g 1t was a
frontier village surrounded with game
and Indians. It's site was diversified
with springs, ravines and mud holes, and
wild ducks nestled in the marshes that
surrounded it. Traffic with the East was
by way Of the lakes, and its only outlet
to the West was by horseback or prairie
schooner. A daily stage ran to and from
Chicago. making the trip in ten hours.
and the a each way was $40. Now it
has a population of $50, 900 and all the
attributes Of a great. wealthy and pros
porous city. Fourteen railway lines GEN.
ter there, and instead of a daily stage
to Chicago %thirty-two railway passenger
trains III between the two cities daily.
besides three or four steamer lines. The
growth of the city has kept even pace
with the development of the great North
west, thar which there has been MOTH
ing more wonderful in the history of the
world.
