BURNS MAKES REPLY.
The Farmer Wrestler Answers McLeod's
Latest Challenge.

The Farmer Wrestler Answers McLeod's
Latest Challenge.
Farmer Martin Burns, the cham
pion wrestler, has made reply to the
challenge of Dan Mcleod, the Cali
fornian. Burns gave an exhibition
at Cedar Rapids the other evening,
and when his attention was called by
reporter to the challenge of Nc
Leod, he denied that he had been
hanging around Rock Island, because
he has not, and stated that Rock ISL
anders had informed Mcleod, after
the latter's recent contest in that
city, that they were willing 70 back
Burns for 1000 against the Califorr-
ian and permit Chicagoan to ref
cree the match. Nothing came of
the offer, however. and Mcleod de-
parted for Chicago without publicly
challenging Farmer Burns as he was
expected to do. although the cham
pion was in the audience that wit
messed the contest between Mcleod
and his Canadian opponent. Per-
sonally Burns does not attempt to
underestimate McLeod's ability, but
he evidently is in no hurry to make
a?match with him. Referring to the
Californian's latest challenge, Burns
says:
Burns Declares Himself.
"This man Mcleod is good man,
and l do not intend to meet him
until l have to. l am not afraid of
him and when the right time comes
/ will wrestle him. The fact of the
matter is he has no right to chal-
lenge me until he has defeated
Lewis. The latter has challenged
him and until he accepts his chal-
ienge and throws him, DO not have
to take any notice of his challenge.
Before | wrestled with Lewis and
won the championship, or about
three years ago, Mcleod issued
a challenge to wrestle any man
in the world, Lewis preferred.
answered the challenge and offered
to meet him. He paid no attention
to the challenge at that time. Now
he is anxious to meet me simply be.
cause l am the champion. Did he
meet Lewis and lose he would then
have no excuse to challenge me. If
4 match is made | have everything
at stake and he will have nothing.
But. nevertheless, when the time
comes, will meet Mcleod aud show
that / am not afriad of him. But
have right to hold off and intend to
DO so."

A Railroad Deal the Cause

The trial of the case of G.. B. Kerper
VS.. w. j. Brodrick was commenced be-
fore Judge Van Dyke yesterday. Mr..
kerper is capitalist of Cincinnati. A
year ago he entered into a contract
through his agent, Dan Mcfarland, to
purchase from Broderick the Main
Street and Agricultural Park railway.
There was $2500 paid cash, $4,000 was
to have been paid on May l. 1895, and
900 was to have been paid in the fol-
lowing November. There was 1775
shares of the stock which was not in
cluded with this purchase, and these
were to have been bought at $50 per
share. The dictatorship of the road was
not to be changed until the 500, 900 pay
ment had been made, and it was re-
cited that the $2500 should not be taken
as part of the purchase price, but sole :
ly for the making of the agreement.
The plaintiff failed to live up to the con-
tract, and this suit is to recover back
the $250O He recites that it was repre-
sented by Broderick that the road was
earning a net of from $500 to $1,000 per
month. and that it does not earn to ex-
coed 5000. Also that it was represented
that the title to the franchise was clear
and there is a suit pending by the city
TO compel it's forfeiture. Defendant de-
nies that there were any false represen-
tations and wants a decree compelling
specific performance of the contract.

THE UNION OF UNIONS
A Regular Monthly Meeting Of More
Than Usual Importance
Annual Report of the Auxiliafies-
Service Held for the Late Treasurer.
1rs. Mary Hoch-Addressss

The Union of Unions, a combined force
of the various Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Unions of Los Angeles, recently
organized for the purpose of securing
concentration in all works of temper
ance, charity and benevolence, held a
regular monthly meeting of two ses-
sions yesterday in the chapel of the
First Presbyterian church, Twentieth
and Figueroa streets.
The chapel beautiful in delicate fres-
Goes of white and gold, with furnishings
in many tones of blue, was given fur
ther adornment in the vicinity of it's
small altar, with masses of poppies, pill
of pink and white roses climbing on
easels and blooming in bowls and rustic
brackets. The flowers were presented
by Mrs. Lauseure of Fruitlands, in homer
of the Young Women's Christian Tenn
perance Unions, under whose auspices
the meeting was arranged.
Mrs. Laura Carter presided and rep
resentatives were present from the fol-
lowing unions: Central, Los Angeles,
University, Boyle Heights, Pico
Heights, East Los Angeles, Arroyo, An
geleno, Keyes Memorial, besides the
young women of the Los Angeles Y.
w. c. T. U.
At the morning session, after the de-
votional exercises, annual reports OF the
with particular mention of several new
methods that had been found beneficial
in special lines of work that might prove
suggestive to the other Unions
An address followed entitled What
Can She Do? written by Miss Winnie
Morris, state organizer of the Y. w. C.
T. IT,, and read by Miss Wilson.
To show what the young woman can
do in certain lines of temperance work.
Miss Morris testified that in the United
States alone the young women in or
ganized temperance work numbered 3d.
900 strong. With this number she be-
lieved the "Ys" held the particular
power Of making wines at social func-
tions understandable. In other adjuncts
of the temperance movement the YOUNG
woman could find an outlet for her
abilities in hospital work, flower mis-
sions, children's causes, and ''whatso-
ever her hand findeth to do"
The remainder of the morning was de-
voted to a memorial service for Mrs.
Mary Rice Hoch, late treasurer of the
Union of Unions and president of the
W.. c. T. U. Of Los Angeles, who died
