STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec.
Those mysterious lights supposed to
be part of the airship were visible to
several students on the campus here last
night about 1890 o'clock, and their ex-
element was intense. Most of those who
saw the lights sweep across the sky have
heretofore been most skeptical about the
existence of any such creation as an air.
ship, and it is amusing to note their I'M
certainty, now that their own eyes have
witnessed the peculiar lights.
Among those who saw the inexplicable
lights are r. S. Garfield, c. F. Aaron and
II. II. Hindry. Ordinarily the announce
ment by some of the students that they
had seen the airship would be received
with a wink, or counter remark on
"wheels that needed oiling," comment
on the virtue of importance; but Hindry,
Garfield and Aaron are reputed to be little
given to practical joking and absolutely

ABOVE HIGH MOUNTAINS

Two Mysterious Lights Over Rob-
inson's Ferry, Calaveras County.
About the time the airship is said to
have taken its flight to the southern part
OF the State lights were seen over several
localities in the course indicated. Accord
ing to w. III. III. Hart the inventor desired
to test his ship in the higher attitudes.
Whether he went as far east as The foot
hills of the Sierras is matter of conjec-
ture. However, P. F. Perryman of Gala
veras County claims to have seen tie
lights of the mystery of the sky, for he
sends the following letter to The CALL:
RoBINsoNs FERRY, CALAvERAs COUNTY,
Nov 20, 1896.
Five miners here and myself last night saw
the two lights, which we believe were attached
to an airship. The one light in advance in the
direction in which they were travelling Con-
WINGED me that it was of an electrical char
acter. 1t would be steady for while and then
die out. The other light, which seemed to be
of different character, containing more
orange rays, remained equldistant from the
other in its career through the air. Both
lights oscilated up and down in passing
across our vision in a dire tion from left to
right looking down the river. These lights
were considerable distance off and seemed to
be at q considerable elevation. They remained
in view but very few mimi tes passing out of
walls on the right looking down stream. You
mey use this letter as you please. as it is no
fake and am willing to make affidavit to the
facts contained herein. P. F. PERUVIAN.

IN MERCEDES SKY.
The San Joaquin Valley Treated to

The San Joaquin Valley Treated to
a Sight of the Aerial Lights.
MERGED, CAL, Dec. 1.-Merced was
treated to visit last night by the airship
that has been provoking so much discus
sion. A bright, red light appeared in the
sky to the west of the town about 8:15
o'clock. Observers at first thought that it
was particularly bright star, but as they
watched it the light grew larger and
brighter and other lights showed them
selves on the mysterious visitor. 1t came
in from the west, circled to the north over
the town, and seemed to rest in its flight
about over the center of the business por-
ton of MERGED.
Among the observers of the phenomenon
were 7. NJ. Edmunds (the WELSH Fargo
agent) and ]. b. OIcese "a prominent Mer-
ced merchant). Mr.. Olcese noticed it as
he was on his road home. and called the
members of dramatic club, who were re-
hearsing in the opera-house, to see the
lights. At that time the flying wonder
was headed for the noIth and was rapidly
passing out of sight, the watchers keeping
il in sight until it had grown to be quite a
small speck in the darkness.
Some skeptics secuted the idea of its
being an airship, and maintained that it
was a large star, but the light was too
large and brilliant for that. Others
stoutly declared that it was balloon sent
up by some practical joker, but the light
was visible too long for such an explana-

A CONFIDENTIAL CHAT

between two men or women generally de-
velops the fact that one or both are troubled
by sickness of some kind. One man is all
right except his rheumatism, another has a
slight touch % of dyspepsia, another has
bilious headaches and another is too nerv-
Gus to sleep well. What's to be done about it?
The situation is serious. Little things
have way of getting big. Big diseases are
bad things. Sleeplessness brings irritable
nerves, loss of flesh loss of appetite. Sleep
less people soon get their bodies into such
a condition that disease-germs find it easy
to lodge there and propagate. People die
from the aggravation of an aggregation of lit
tie things. The more promptly disease or
disorder is met the more quickly It is cured.
Most all sickness starts In the stomach,
liver or lungs. Rheumatism, scrofula, &C.
zema, consumption, come about because
insufficient, impure or impoverished blood
is present. The diseased blood finds the
weakest spot in the body and local symp-
tom appears. If the impurity is supplanted
with good, rich, red, healthy corpuscles,
the disease will have nothing to feed on.
If the proper cleansing medicine is sent to
the seat of the trouble, it will force out the
germs and repair the damage done.

stakeholder. He has already received
$4,000, and the sum total will be in his
hands in time to deposit it in bank and
at the ringslde hand over to the referee
certified check for $4,000 to be given the
winner as he leaves the ring.
Manager Gibbs, in speaking on the SUBJ
lect last night, stated:
"There cannot possibly be hitch in re-
gard to the referee. If the boys do not
agree the matter will be lie # to us, and we
are fully prepared to meet it.
1.-The referee we have in view has not
yet been mentioned to any one, therefore
he has not been refused by either side.
We would not propose a man who has
been rejected. The man we have in view
is stranger in this City, but he is so well
known the world over as an honest and
capable man that we have no hesitancy in
saying now he will be acceptable to both
principals and the public"
From the present outlook the National
Athletic Club managers have $4,000 in
sight. Aside from the purse they hung up
there is $1,000 expenses. There are r..
600 chairs and 1000 bench seating capacity
in the Pavilion, and the prices range from
81 to $40 per seat. There are, therefore,
many hundreds of good seats still to be
obtained.
That the battle is regarded with wide
spread interest goes without saying. Dur
ing the past three days over 100 tickets
have been sold to lady purchasers Twice
that number have been sold in China
town.
Nearly all the big Eastern newspapers
have arranged to have from 1000 to 10000
words about the fight wired from the ring
side.
Captain Whitman will be in charge of
squad of fifty policemen, who will keep
order inside the Pavilion, while P. D. Lin
vile and his squad of twenty-five special
officers will patrol the outside and the roof
of the building.
Dan Lynch dropped into Corhett's bet
ting headquarters last night and turned

Considerable money in small amounts
is going into the poolboxes. The betting
is mainly on whether Sharkey will last

wagering $40 to So that he will not. Ten
dollars to 81 is the regular betting on the
result.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Fitzsimmons Nearly Run Down by
an Excited Horse.

| FitzsImmons Nearly Run Down by
an Excited Horse.
Fitzsimmons had the narrowest escape
from serious injury he ever had in all his
| life yesterday, as he himself admits. If
| Sharkey would have appeared at the Pa
vilion tonight to find no opponent.
He was just entering Sausalito from his
training jaunt to Mill Valley. when he was
overtaken by runaway horse, attached
to a buggy, in which we're Lillian Shoo-
bert, the young daughter of Mr.. Shoobert
of the firm of Shoobert & Beale, Marian
Harrison. daughter of ]. w. Harrison. the
coal-dealer, and a small Portuguese lad.
Fitz heard the sound of the horses hoofs
and glanclng back conrprehended his
dangerous position just in time to jump to
one side and let the rig pass.
As the maddened animal rushed by him
Bob let out to catch it by the reins and
stop its course, but before he could over
take the horse it ran into Louis FARO. a
messenger boy, who carries the mail from
the boat to the postoffice. Faro, who was
riding bicycle. was hurled to one side
and badly bruised.
The shock of the impact was such as
to throw all the children from the buggy.
The little Portuguese lad sustained a deep
cut in the forehead from striking stone.
Miss Shoobert was severely bruised and
tainted from pain. Bob placed her IN the
Sheriff's buggy and drove her to drug
st ore, where she was found to be all right.
with the exception of few bad contu-
sions.
THAT was the narrowest escape 7 ever
had" said Bob, in describing the scene.
..If that bloody 'orses bloomin' 'oofs had
struck me, fight would have been out of
the question.
MY wife was driving along in buggy
behind me with the baby in her lap, and
heard the animal coming just in time to
turn out of the road. As it was a wheel
of her buggy was struck with sufficient
force to lift the vehicle couple of ieet off
the ground.

From a photograph By Bushnell

Oakland who has openly declared that
the machine was visible on a clear night.
It's previous appearances have been on
cloudy, obscure nights, when persons may
have been misled by taking stars for cleo
trio lights and clouds FOR the shadowy
form OF an airship. Gibson is also an anna
teur astronomer and declares that he
could not mistake star or cloud for an
airship.
Percy Drew was another individual
favored with glimpse of the airship. He
says it visited Oakland Saturday night.
1t then carried a red light and moved
with its usual quickness. Both young
men agree that the ship was of enormous
size, measuring at least 100 feet in length.
