ing bright-eyed and clear-skinned and fit 20
fight almost at moments notice. With
him came "Buck" Connolly. his manager,
and Peter Lowry, Lightweight OF Dublin,
who acts as his trainer.
The party was met at Sixteenth street.
Oakland, by number of Makers friends,
and at the mole still another crowd
greeted him and followed aboard the
ferry.
Maher said that he never felt better in
his life, and that while he had iourneyed
to California to do battle with Choynski
he was ready to fight any one who would
hazard a match.
Peter seemed particularly anxious to get
news of Sharkey and his methods. and
when told by a member of the party that
the sailor was merely q. big, willing fellow,
without any particular science, he de-
manded:
"Well, VIII at was the matter with Cor
bett, then2"
When the way that famous foar-round
20 was fought was explained, Peter smiled
grimly and said:
Rushed in and clinched, did thay2 Well,
that game is all right sometimes, but it's
closed ominously as though he was pic
turing to himself how he would have put
it on" Sharkey had he been in Corbett's
place.
Corbett's condition during that engage
| ment was also very interesting to
Maher and he hazarded a guess that the
| California boxer could not have been in
| iirst-class form.
Maher looks every inch fghter-even
more so than when he visited this coast
three years ago. He has filled out some
| since then and says that he feels better and
weighs more than he has in years. He has
| the deep chest, sloping shoulders and mas
| siye upper arms, well bound to the chest,
that indicate driving power, while his
straight, well-built legs denote agility and
stability. The neck and Jaw are those oil
the fighter, and his hands are large and
we'll knit.
Maher may we'll be classed as a hand
some man, his features being regular and
his expression frank and pleasing. He
was attired in a light suit with a dark
derby, when he alighted from the train
last evening, and within a few moments
| was chatting gayly with his friends, joking
| with some and poking others playfuIly in
the ribs hard enough TO make them gasp.
He is almost boyish in his pranks, and has
a CHEEKY word for all within reach of his
| voice. making friend as fast as he makes
| an acquaintance.
! In disposition, Maher is as much 9
fighter as IN appearance. and he ia gener-
! ally very modest. Mention one of his
battles in his presence, and some par
ticularly exciting rally occurs to him, his
ewes fash and he is quite likely to illus
trate the blows delivered by planting
similar ones on his auditors anatomy.
Then. suddenly, he remembers that he is
not in the ring, and lapses into silence or
changes the subject.
81 will back Peter to fight any man on
earth, bar none. said his manager while
crossing the bay last evening. "0f course
we are here TO fight Choynski, and that
matter must be disposed of FIRST, but after
that We will be ready for all corners.

magnificent form. The last set was very
close, but at critical points Wrenn was

A HORROR OF THE SEA.
Murder on shipboard, But By
WhOm.

HALIFAX, n. S., July 2l.-The Ameri-
can barkentine Herbert Pollock, which
sailed from Boston a few days ago for
Rosario and Buenos Ayres, arrived in
Halifax harbor this morning with the
bodies of three murder ed people on board.
The balance of those who left Boston on
the vessel were Immediately clapped into
prison cells.
The three dead persons, whose murder
was evidently the result OF bloody out
break on the part of some members OF
the crew. are Captain Nash, his wife, and
Second-Mate Brumberg.
The horrible triple murder occurred on
the night of the 18th. and the affair SO
far Is wrapped in conplete mystery, not
wthstanding that there were several
other men on board at the time IL oc-
CURED, besides a passenger named Mo
nick, whose story OF what he could learn
after it was all over is the only narrative,
reliable or unreliable as it may be, that
can be obtained.
Monlck has been closeted with the police
authorities ever since the arrival Of the
vessel. The crew were brought ashore,
and the surviving officers and men of
the ship are locked behind bars in three
different sections of the police station,
while Monick is inaccessible until the
Chief or Police and Detective Pcws have
finished with him. Monick seems TO have
taken charge Of the vessel after the
tragedy, and by his orders the bodies were
placed In one OF the boats and covered
with tarpaulins. and the boat towed
astern into Halifax harbor. There the
Coroner took charge OF the remains.
which were so far advanced in decompo-
sition that 1t was almost impossible 10
remove them from the boats
Monick's story is that he knew nothing
OF the tragedy until notified OF 1t next
morning by the first mate. He admits
that he heard a scream during the night,
but IL did not disturb him enough to wake
him up. although his cabin was next
to that In which the murders were com
mitted. The weapon used was an axe.
The crew profess the same Ignorance that
overwhelms Monick. OF when. how. and
by whom the murders were committed.

Secretary Smiths Paper Declares for
Democratic Party Nominees.

ATLANTA. GA, July 2.-Secretary-of-

Journal to-day announces that after
careful deliberation, while we cannot en-
dorse all Of the platform adopted at Chi
cago. we have determined to give an
earnest support 10 the Democratic nomi-
nees."
Last Saturday the business-manager
and managing editor OF the paper were
summoned by telegraph to Washington,
by Secretary Smith for a conference.
The managing editor returned this morn
ing. and the leading editorial Of to-day
breaks silence OF more than two weeks
upon the action of the Chicago conven-
tion, during which time the paper has
been generally placed among the ho'ting
Democratic newspapers OF the South. IL
says to-day
During the campaign within the party
the Journal called upon all Democrats 10
pledge themselves In advance 10 vote Tor
fbe nominees of the convention, and in
that connection the Journal pledged itself
to do so.
I'VE find nothing to commend in the
Republican platform except its declaration
I'm favor of the maintenance OF a sound
currency, and this declaration Is qualified
bv an ill-tempered criticism OF the course
pursued by the present administration.
which was absolutely necessary 10 sustain

Of affairs the Journal believes II is the
mart of patriotism and wisdom TO remain

this true IN the South. The Democratic
party has been the constant friend OF our

GOLD FOR THE TREASURY.
New York Bank Aid-Reserve Pro-
lection.

NEW YORK, July 2l.--The situation in
Wall street cleared up somewhat to-day,
and the bears who have been hammering
the market recently were confronted with
a new condition. On Monday f. d. Tap
pen. president Of the Gallatin National
Bank, who has been a leader In financial
circles for years. and in time of panic al
ways acts as the chairman Of the Loan
Committee. which has charge Of the loan
certificates, made a tour among the down
town banks for the purpose Of sounding
the leading officials as TO their willingness
10 step In and protect the governments

The bears in the stock market who have
been unusually successful since the ad-
lournment OF the Chicago convention.
were indulging i'm all sorts OF sensational
talk about raids on the Treasury gold. and
II must be admitted that the reports had a
demoralizing effect. They were not pre-
pared for Mr.. Tappens action, however,
and to-day, when II was officially stated
that the banks had fallen In with Mr.
Tappens view, and would contribute
twenty millions or so OF the metal conf
dence was restored In a measure. and a
good proportion OF the paper profits Of the

The encouraging feature OF this latest
effort on the part of the banks TO sustain
the Treasury's credit was the unanimiiy
that prevailed among the bankers. not
single one having failed to respond. The
gold contributed Will be returned TO the
Sub-Treasury as soon as possible. but for
all practical purposes 1t is at the govern

Another question of Importance, that Of

Wall-strect circles. AS yet the matter is
in embryo. Some of the interested are in
favor of advancing rates for money, but

defeat the very objects the bankers are
trying to obtain. Others speak OF buying
gold in Europe and importing II. as i'm the
panic Of 1895. 1t is well known that the
bulk Of gold shipped recently has cost
Austrian and German bankers a pretty
penny. and II Is stated that the shippers
here have been allowed as much as is

In addition II must be remembered that
FOR a long time sterling exchange ruled
against the shippers, and that the Euro

Other bankers again argue that with the
financial Institutions acting as a unit, the
Treasury reserve can be held intact until

ports, without resorting TO artificial me-
thods.

SOUTHERN FREIGHT ASSN.
what Shall he Done I'm Regard to
SeabOard's Cut.

ATLANTA. GA. July 1.-Two policies
are advocated by the traffic officials who
are here to attend the meeting Of the
Executives Board OF the Southern States
Freight Association tomorrow. one set
favors meeting the Seaboard Air-Line's
cut, and making it apply 10 New York
and all eastern points. There are others
who are opposed to meeting the reduced
rates, and these urge a maintenance OF
rates. so as to keep a high wall on either
side OF the Seaboard all along its terri
tory. The latter course. II is said would
soon break up the association by the
withdrawal of western lines.
The State Railroad Commission OF
Georgia to-day notified the Seaboard that
II had under consideration the question OF
reducing the cOmpanys local rates TO
correspond with the through rates. This
movement would play right into the hands
OF the other lines, but it would be so un-
popular with the public that it will hardly
be adopted.
No one can say what the association
will do The situation is a grave one for
all the roads. The Seaboard is in the
war to win.
