SPRINGFIELD, June 26.-While a society
circus was In progress on the lawn mt the
residence of James 4. Jones "Wednesday
evening, for the benefit of Christ Episcopal
church, the seats broke down. A large
number of people were injured, among
them being: Mrs. J. l.. Hudson, leg
broken; General Alfred Orendorf, late
adjutant general of the state, bone broken
In foot; Postmaster Reddick NJ. Ridgely,
badly bruised; Miss Sallie Perkins, ankle
sprnined; G. r. Brainerd, back injured;
Mrs. G. X. Brainerd, badly bruised; Mrs
f. w Dana, ankle sprained. A dozen
others were slightly hurt. The injured
were all taken home In carriages and the
entertainment came To sudden close.
Governor and Mrs. Altgeld were among
those present, but escaped injury. The
seats, which were arranged in regular
circus style, were weakly supported, and
the weight OF many persons caused them
to collapse. A number of physicians were
telephoned for. and most Of them arrived
on the ground TO find that their patients
had been removed TO their homes. The
most serious injuries are those of Mrs.
Hudson and Mr. G. II Brainerd
Mrs Hudson's leg is very badly frac-
tured near the ankle ana involving the

sharkey and Corbett Meet in the Ring af
san Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Sharkey, the
man-of -warsman and heavyweight favorite
of the coast, put up, remarkably gamy
contest with the champion of the world,
James j. Corbctt, "Wednesday night. He
landed frequently on the champion, and
though not a particularly scientific boxer,
his blows were effective, and at the end OF
the fourth round Corbett appeared groggy
and unable To land heavy blow. He fell
down and got mixed up with the referee
Frank Carr, and fell again The clinches
by Corbett were interpreted as being due
TO a desire TO avoid his opponent effective
rushes
Sharkey once adopted foul tactics and
refused to break away The police rushed
into the ring I'm the fourth round and
forced Sharkey into his corner. He
strongly objected to this and was anxious
70 continue-more so than was Corbett.
The referee put veto To Sharkey's ambi-
tions by declaring a draw. Ten thousand
people were present in the big Mechan-
les pavilion To witness the bouts. The
lstic exhibition was under the manage
ment of the National Athletic club of this
