A VERY DIME NOVEL
Two Pennsylvania Negroes Properly
Filled Full of Lead

CHAMERSBURG. Pa, Oct. 1S.-Da-
vid Pearl, a mulatto, was shot and killed
at Pondton, few miles from here last
night by Harman Calaman and John
Breidleman, Pears companion, was SER
iously wounded. The details of the
shooting related by Calaman, when he
was brought to the county prison here
today, read like chapter from a novel.
Pearl and Breidelman went to the home
of Otho Calaman, against whom Breidle-
man had a grudge because of the for
mer's refusal to permit him to marry
his daughter, and began stoning II. They
broke every window light in the house
and inflicted injury on Mrs. Calanan
and the infant she was carrying In her
arms. In addition, many articles of fur
niture and crockery were broken. Sat
isfied with the damage done to the house
of the father of Breidelman's sweet
heart, the two men loudly proclaimed
that they would go to the home OF Har-
man Calaman, a brother of Otho, and
would do" him up. Harman evidently
overheard the threat of the men, for he
went into the garden, few feet from
his house, armed whit shotgun. when
the men began the same abuse of his
family that they had inflicted upon his
brothers house, Harman Calaman shot,
killing Pearl instantly and 1nfiicting
serious wounds on Breidelman.

10 Attempts to Match the Great
Pugs
SHARKEY AND LANKY BOB
Show Some Symptoms Of Reaching an
Agreemunt
OF the Trio Of Bloodthirsty Pugs, Mr..
Sharkey Seems the Only One Really
Anxious and Willing to Fight.

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S.-Tom
Sharkey. the sailor pugilist, is at pres
bett.
Ftzsimmons and Corbett are both at
ter Sharkey and the chances at present
seem to be in favor Of Lanky Bob.
When the National club Of this city and
Sharkey endeavored to pin Corbett
down to definite statement few days
ago. several urgent telegraphic mes
sages were sent to him at New York
Every time came the answer: Import
ant letter on the way" Then the Ma
tional club turned their attention to
Fitzsimmons and the prospects are that
a match will be made between him and
Sharkey. Corbett must have learned
how things were going, for last night he
wired Sharkey's manager from New
York: Club here offers $4,000 for ten
rounds January 1. Deposit $4,000. An
swer."
Here was Sharkey's chance to get
even, and he promptly wired. collect,
Important letter on the way"
The proposal made to Fitzsimmons by
the National club was that he engage in
ten-round contest with Sharkey in
this city some time in December for a
purse of $4,000. This was the reply re-
ceived from Martin Julian, Fitzsim-
mons manager:
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-To ]. ]. Groom,
San Francisco: Will match Fitzsirnmons
against Sharkey on the following con-
ditions: Purse Of $4,000, winner to take
all, and $1,000 for our training and trav-
cling expenses; club to deposit $4,000 as
forfeit on signing articles, balance to
be put up ten days before the match
marquis Of Queensbury rules to gov
ern. Either Siler or Houseman of Chi
cago tor Sseree. Match must take place
before December l. on accaunt of our
match with Corbett. (Signed)
MARTIN JULIAN.
The National club has complied with
Fitzsimmons' demands to the extent of
placing the $4,000 in the hands of local
sporting man. but it firmly declines to
allow Fitzsimmons more than $500 for
expenses.
Sharkey's only objection is to having
the referee selected at this stage of the
proceedings. He says it will be time
enough to select that official when the
Fitzsimmons party arrives here.
Julian is holding out in the matter of
expense money, but is not so insistent
as RECORDS the referee. 1t is thought that
when he learns that Corbett is setting
his cap at Sharkey again he will accept
the terms proposed and that it will be
definitely announced within a day or
two that Sharkey and Fitzsimmons are
matched In later wire Julian favored

ON THE DIAMOND.
The Nevada Stars Have Learned to
Play Ball.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1S-The Ne
vada Stars today made the Alemeda
Alerts quit in disgust in the amateur
baseball tournament for the champion
chip of the Pacific coast. The score was
8 to 2.
Ten thousand people saw the game
and such enthusiasm has not been seen
at baseball game here in many days.
Both teams had scores of "rooters"
present, and every play was commented
on more or less favorably. Up to the
seventh inning the Alerts seemed to
have the game safe, as the score was
two to one in their favor. The Stars
went to bat in the seventh inning and
piled up eight runs. The Alerts went
all to pieces. Errors were frequent, and
it was a clear case Of rattle. With two
of the S.ars out in this inning the Alerts
gave up the fight and walked from the
field amid the jeers Of the spectators.
Up to The seventh inning gilt-edge ball
was played by both teams. The pitch
ers were very effective, the Stars scor-
ing seven hits and the Alerts three.
The left-hand champion from Nevada
was complete puzzle for the Califor-
mans, and he was ably supported be-
hind the bat and in the field. Today's
victory gives the Stars good chance
for the championship. They have yet
to play the Los Angeles team and clubs
from Oregon and Washington.

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 18.-The Amer
lean line steamship Paris, Capt. Wilkins,
from New York October Z, reached her
dock in this city at o'clock this morn
ing. She reports that at a. m. on Oc-
tober 8, in latitude 40 degrees 40 min
utes north, and longitude 157 degrees
west, while going at a moderate rate of
speed in calm weather, her starboard
,tailshaft broke. The engines were i'm
mediately stopped and boat lowered
and an examination made, from which
it was ascertained that the propeller
had been jammed and broken. The
shaft was secured, and the ship pro-
ceeded with one engine. There was not
the slightest uneasiness among the pas
sengers over the turn of affairs, and the
officers were all perfectly cool. The
North German Lloyd steamship Fuerst
Bismarck (Which arrived in New York
on October 9, bringing the first news
that the Paris was disabled) was sighted
two hours after the ship had got under
way again. The Paris kept in the track
of westbound steamers during the voy-
age, in order to be reported and to be
able to request aid if needed The wealth
er was moderate and fine throughout
the voyage except on two occasions,
when there were gales. No cause is as
signed for the accident, but it is thought
to have been due to a flaw in the shaft.
The passengers stated they had pleas
ant trip, and some expressed themselves
as being sorry that the voyage was end
ed. All speak in the highest terms of
praise of the GOODNESS and seamanshi.,
displayed by the officers, in whom they
had the most complete confidence.
The daily runs made were as follows:
October s, 275 knots; October 8, 301; Oc-
tober 10, FOG; October IL, 266; October u,
$780, October 13, 236; October IA. 25S; Oc-
tober Is, 2S6; October 16, $40; October II.
257.
Crowds witnessed the arrival of the
Paris. 1t was found that her shaft broke
about fifty feet from the screw. The
Bismarck offered to tow her back to
New York, but Capt. wilkins declined.
During the voyage efforts for the tenn
porary repair of the shaft were futile.
On October Is there was terrific gale,
which caused some alarm among the
passengers, but Capt. Wilkins easily re-
assured them. From the time of the ac-
cident the average speed was 121a knots
an hour. The Paris was placed in dry
dock tonight for repairs.
A SPOILED MEAL.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The steamer
La Gascogne arrived today. On Wednes-
day last La Gascogne encountered a
tremendous wave, which swept away
one of the lifeboatS and in other re-
spects slightly damaged the ship. The
passengers were at dinner at the time.
The shock of the wave forced almost
everything from the tables, completely

At Chicago, and Committeeman WASH
burn Of Massachusetts,, arrived here. the
home Of the vice-presidential candidate,
today at noon. They were met at the de-
not by Mr.. Watson's son and driven to
the homo of the nominee. The three have
been in continual conference, stopping
only for meals. The utmost interest Is
shown by Mr.. Watson's personal and
political friends in the conference now
going on, Prominent local Populists,
men ordinarily in the confidence of the
vice-presidential candidate, have called
only to find that their leader begged to
be excused.
Mr.. Watson received the representa-
tive of the Associated Press this even
ing at 10 o'clock. He politely but firmly
refused to say anything regarding the
political situation or his letter of ac-
ceptance. When asked whether he
would give out his letter tonight, he
replied: ut will not be given out tonight.
I have nothing whatever to say. Neith-
er has Mr.. Reed or Mr.. Washburn. They
will leave for Atlanta early in the morn
ing and If there is anything of interest
to the public in our conference they will
give 1t out tomorrow"
Mr.. Watson makes no secret Of the fact
that his letter is in the hands Of Chair
man Butler, and has been for several
days. He is going to Atlanta ON Tues
day and there, it Is believed, he will
meet Senator Jones Of the Democratic
national committee. The state COM
mittees Of both the Democrats and Pop
uhsts will meet in Atlanta on the same
day and the question of fusion on the
electoral ticket will be discussed. It
IL generally accepted as fact here that
the Democrats will make some sort of
fusion proposition. The Democratic
leaders say there Is no necessity for IT,
and expect strenuous opposition inside
the party. Watsons close political
friends in Thomson are firm in the be-
lief that unless the electoral tickets are
revised to suit him that his letter now in
the possession of Chairman Butler will
70 to the public in its original form.
They are also convinced that in his letter
the nominee has expressed his opinion
in his own vigorous and peculiar English
of the fusion arrangements now OBJ

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 8-It is believed
the scouts who are looking for the out
laws who held up the Union Pacific
fast mail train near Ogden Wednesday
last are close on their trail. Chief Can
ada of the special service bureau re-
ceived telegram from one of the
searching party saying he had good rea-
son to believe that something good
would develop in very short time.
A telegram was received last night
saying that $791 worth Of checks and
drafts had been found In a place where
the registered mail sacks had evident
ly been opened The robbers must have
opened the pouches soon after leaving
the train, for the letters of no value to
them were found in a field not far from
the scene of the hold-up. Some of the
railroad officials are inclined to believe
that the robbers, after opening the
pouches. made their way back to Og-
den, and are now in hiding there or in

from Chippewa Fall this morning to
the effect that water had reached to
within three feet of the Falls with in
dications by this evening that the
gorge would be as high as the Falls.
The water has reached from the WIS

are forty feet above the river the sub
sidence is no sign that the Iowa
part of the city of Chippewa Falls is
not suffering. According to reports
no great damage has resulted in the
city ND to the present time. but the
danger is far from being over.

been done to farms along the Chippe-
wa river. Farmers and their families
escaped to the railway track from the
rising water and were rescued by
trainmen and an engine. A great ice
gorge three miles from Eau Claire is
causing an inundation of Chippewa
Falls. but is protecting Eau Claire
and Durand. 1t extends for miles
and cannot be broken. Unless it
should give way no great damage is
looked for here.
