ENGINEER FINDS CRIME.
Discovers Man Hanging in Travel
ing Way of a Mine.

Mt, Carmel, May 3.-Willam Eisen-
bach, night engineer at the Belmore
colliery, while climbing from the in
side workings of the mine to the sur
face this morning, found his way
blocked by a man standing upright.
Addressing the person and receiving
no response he discovered the mans
neck was in a moose, fastened to the
timber of the travelling way.
He cut the lifeless body down and
summoned a physician, who expressed
the opinion that the mans death had
been caused by other means than hang
ing.
Coroner Laughlin of Columbia coun-
ty, believes that Frank Balauofski
whose body was found hanging in a
travelling way of Bellmore mine, yes
terday, must has been poisoned and
then hung there by his murderers to
avert suspicion as it is evident that
his death was not caused by strangu-
lation or hanging. The coroner's Jury
adjourned until Friday evening and
Chief of Police King is still working uI
the case.

FRESH BOXING GOSSIP.
Sbarkey, the Sailor Champion, Makes a
Broad Claim.-How Muldoon
Sees q Fluke.

At a recent boxing entertainment in
New York city Tom Sharkey, the sailor
champion, was invited to enter the
ring and show himself to the specta-
tors. Sharkey Obliged" and also vol
unteered short speech as follows:
Gentlemen, ! am here to. meet Mr..
Maher. which l consider, is the next
best man in the world"
Then Mr.. Sharkey bowed and retired
with a satisfactory smile on his face.
Peter Maher sat in box near the
ring, and he was asked what Sharkey
meant by the next best man in the
world"
"Oh," said Peter, "he means that I
am the next best man to Fltzsim-
mons"
This was a rational explanation, but
the extremely lofty manner of the
sailor left the matter in doubt, and he
was appealed to for a solution of the
problem. In reply to direct query he
said:
"Why, meant that Maher was the
next best man to be! I'm the best man
in the world? Didn't I have a draw
with Corbett and got the decision over
Ftzsmmons? None of them have de-
feated me-"
And the "best man in the world"
looked about with an expression which
seemed to say: "Who can deny it?"
Sharkey may be all that he claims,
but the followers of the squared circle
events are almost unanimous in the
opinion that when the Maher-Sharlley
bout has ended the most thoroughly
tpnlInppH N wi if11b
throgh the ropes. There is no question
| that Maher's hitting ability is not eX-
ceeded by that of any pugilist in Amer
| icca, and Sharkey's impulsive tactics
will be particularly agreeable to the
| Irish champion. 1t can be depended on
| that the bout will not be allowed to
| drift into wrestling match, and
| Sharkey will not get a decision of foul

PITCHER WHITE IN TROUBLE.
Signed with Lancaster, but Accepted
st. Louis Advance Money.

Lancaster, Pa, May 3.-George F.
White, formerly of the Philadelphia
and Athletic clubs, who, after agree
ing to pitch for the Lancaster team
signed a contract with the st. Louis
team of the National league, accepted
advance money from Won der Abe, and
the dispute of whose case was decided
by the national arbitration board in
favor of Lancaster, has written to
the local club officials declining to
play here. President Hensel has writ
ten to President Young asking him to
enforce the rules in the case of White
who will thus be debarred from play
ing with any club under the protec-
tion Of the National agreement.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.
Senators We're Too Slow About II to
Satisfy Umpire Lynch.

Washington, May st was a sore
band of rooters who left the grounds
after today's game. There were but
two hundred of them. The field was
very wet and the cold weather threat
ened rain, which finally came but not
before Umpire Lynch had rightfully
forfeited the game to New York.
Mercer, who is considered weak in
the wet, was pounded for seven runs
in the second inning When it became
APPARENT that the Giants had a good
lead, the Senators endeavored to pro-
long the game so that the rain would
become so heavy that five inings could
not be finished. This was done in such
clumsy manner that Umpire Lynch
forfeited the game. The game was
terminated with only two men out in
the last inning. The score:

STORM NOT A CANDIDATE.
The Ex-Congressman Refuses TO BE
the Democratic Party's Choice.

Stroudsburg, May 3.-Ex-Congress-
man and eX-Judge John b. Storm, Of
this place, has decided not to accept
the nomination for auditor general. At
a recent meeting Of the state leaders
Judge Storm was asked to stand for
the nomination.
He supported Bryan last fall and
threw the vote of the county to the
Democratic candidate for congress-
who was doomed up to the time Storm
came out for him to overwhelming de-
feat. AS it was Candidate Barger was
defeated by less than 300 votes. which
was due entirely to the loss of his own
dounty brought about by factional
disputes in his own party.

MAGDAlEN ASYLUM.

Judg Carroll Cook Declares That 1t Is
the City's Industrial School.
Judge Carroll Cook has handed down an
opinion in the case of Cecilia Gwinn, on
habeas corpus, defining and establishing
the legal status of the Magdalen Asylum
of this City as the successor to the Indus
trial School. By an examination of the
law Judge Cook finds that when the old
Industrial School was abolished in 1893
the Supervisors selected the Magdalen
Asylum "as an industrial school for the
detention of all females whose detention
in the Industrial School of the City and
County of San Francisco is authorized by
the laws of the State of California
Adding to this, Judge Cook offers the
conclusion:
Cecilia Gwinn is such q female, and the
Board of Supervisors, having the same power
to provide place OF imprisonment that the
original board of managers OF the Industrial
School Depar tment had her imprisonment is
legal and justified by law.
Touching the alleged necessity of OBJ
tanning the consent of the Mayor before
an inmate of the asylum could be dis
charged from custody, Judge Cook said
that provision of the law is void; that the
Mayor has nothing to say in the matter.
The power to release rests solely with the
Judge of the Police Court who signed the
commitment or with his successor.

HEAVY TAX SUITS.

Banks Demand NOney Paid Into the
City Treasury Under Protest
Complaint has been made by the Anglo
Californian Bank of this City that unjust
assessment was levied against 1t in 1896.
TIE managers of the bank set forth in
suit begun by them against the City and
County of San Francisco yesterday that
last wear an item of $782, 707 was assessed
against them, which amount represented
loans on collateral security. The plaintiff
alleges that under the law loans secured
bv stocks, bonds or warrants or other lien
on personal property are not taxable, and
that such taxation as was attempted in
this case was prohibited by law.
The tex as levied was paid under pro-
test and the City is now called on to re-
fund $10,943 81, with legal interest and
costs.
A similar suit has been begun against
the City and County of San Francisco by
the California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company for $6017 IL.
Success in this litigation would mean
serious impairment of the City's financial
resources, as similar suits against the City
aggregating over $500, 900 are now pending
in the Superior Court.
