Sharkey Gets the Decision Over
Joe Goddard.
The Sailor Wins One More Ques-
tiOnabIe Battle.
Nebraska's Football Team Manager
Proves Himself Something of
a Leech-In sists Upon a
Big Guaranty.

San Francisco. Nov. 19.-Tom Sharkey
has Won another questionable battle,
his victim this time being old Joe God
dard, the decrepit barrier champion.
The fight, which was scheduled for 20
rounds, terminated in the sixth, when
Sharkey, after landing a stiff right on
OrOddard'S s jaw, rushed at his man and
knocked him to the floor, literally by
force of impact, falling heavily upon
him. GOddard's head struck the can
vas with an awful smash, which dazed
him. He arose at the end of three sec
cree Macarthur meanwhile holding the
excited sailor back Amid great cOnfu-
sion Macarthur awarded the fight to
Sharkey. The decision was just, but
Sharkey's victory is far from credita-
ble,it being the popular impression that
Goddard was hurt more by his collision
with the floor than from Sharkey's
blows, which were at all times wild
and miserabIy timed.
Sharkey was the first to appear. at

Eddie Connolly and Spider Kelly. He

usual excellent condition, while Cod
dard looked drawn and low in flesh.
When time was called for the first
round the men came up and fiddled for
a few moments, Sharkey jumping about
while Goddard waited for the sailor to
lead. Finally Sharkey swung his right,
catching Goddard Squarely on the jaw,
and the big Australian went down.
Nothing was done for the remainder of

the round, Sharkey failing to take ad-
vantage of his lead. Before 80 seconds
of the second round had expired Shar-
key put in another clean right and
Goddard went down again Joe made
several wild lunges at Sharkey, but the
sailor was quick in eluding him.
The third and fourth rounds were a
series of wild rushes and cIinches with
out any real fighting. In the fifth the
men did all kinds of fighting, a little
slugging and plenty of hugging, but
ting and elbOWing. The sailor was the
aggressOr and had little the better OF
the rough work.
The sixth round proved to be the last.
Sharkey rushed at old Joe Goddard
like a football player bucking the line.
Goddard seemed disconnected at the
sailors tactics and got the worst of the
wrestling. Finally in a rally at close
quarters, Sharkey landed a right some
where on Goddard's features and the
big fellow went down, his head striking
the floor with a. resounding thump,
Sharkey tumbling on top of him. The
sailor was up quickly and waited for
Goddard to regain his feet. He was SO
excited that the referee had to restrain
him from actually fouling Goddard be-
fore the latter had got up. Goddard
was plainly in no condition to make y
fight when after several seconds he
steadied himself with the aid of the
ropes, and the referee gave the decision
to the sailor.

MIGHTY BLAST STOPPED.
A Cave-in Delays the Destruction of
the Palisades.

New York, Nov. 19-Thousands of
tons of Palisades rock We're to have
been blown out at Washington Point
on the Hudson yesterday afternoon
but, owing to a caVe-in of the tunnel
the destruction was postponed for six
weeks.
Before Christmas, however, one of
the most familiar landmarks to river
pilots will have disappeared by the eX-
plOSiOn of between three and four tons
of dynamite, and the great crag which
rises from the edge of the river to
thousands of pieces and tumbled to the
bank, where it will be ground and
crushed, to be used in macadamizing
the roads.
The blast which was to have been
made yesterday would have been the
according to the boss blaster" of Car
pentera Bros, the operators of the
crushers. it would have been one of the
heaviest ever made in the United
States.
BY the explosion of $500 or 1000
pounds of dynamite it was calculated
that 400, 600 pounds of trap rock, the
hard, flint like stone of the Palisades,
would be broken away. Preparations
for the blast have been active for
weeks. Two tunnels, each rs feet in
length and excavated at points 100 and
200 feet from the base of the point,
were completed the latter part of last
week and it was expected that the dy
Mantle would be buried yesterday and
the electrical connections placed in po-
sitiOn.
At the end of the upper tunnel
shaft was sunk to the lower tunnel. 1t
was planned that the charge of dyna-
mte should be divided into three pOr-
tiOns and the entire amount was to
have been exploded at once.

NEBRASKA AFTER MONEY.
Manager oury Acts Like a Profess
sional Sport

Kansas City, Nov .19.-It remains with
Nebraska whether a meeting between
the Kansas and Nebraska university
football teams shall take place on Ex-
position park gridirOn some time next
month The proposition made by Man.
ager Curry to the Kansas team is so
manifestly unfair and unspOrtSmanlike
that it is deserving of no consideration
and affords a thin screen behind which
the Nebraka team manager cannot
hide his real feelings in the matter IN
the first place, the offer made by Ne
braska is unsportsmanlike. Manager
Oury not only sets a high price for
bringing his team to this city, but he
demonstrates his unfairnesS by refus-
ing to make Kansas the same offer to
cOpe here which he demands.
Manager Curry last night telegTaphed
a local paper here as follows;
Nebraska Will meet Kansas on any
date agreeable to them, in Kansas City,
in accordance with the conditions of the
first proposition made by Nebraska
Nebraska people are satisfied that our
team is the better, SO there is no object
in playing again except for a sufficient
guaranty, the one asked for by the Ne
braska management seeming reasOna-
BILE taking into consideration the crowd
that would likely attend the game. It
is not probable that the teams will
meet on any other pre position

The telegram from the Nebraska
manager was sent to Manager Mckin-
ME at Lawrence. He made this an
swer:
when Manager Oury attempts to
stand by his original proposition he
shows a spirit that would ruin amateur
sport, if carried to it's logical cOnclu-
sion. He simply admits that he is out
for the stuff That is all there is to his
offer. The statement that the people
of Lincoln are satisfied the Nebraska
team is the stronger is tOmmyrot: Oury
is making a grand stand play. If the
Nebraska. management has the true
amateur sporting spirit let them accept
our proposition for an equal division of
the gate receipts, or a division on a So

not afraid to meet Kansas there is no

GALVESTON LEFT.
Southern Pacific Steamships Will Re
turn to New Orleans.

Galveston Nov. 19.-As predicted in for
mer dispatches. the Southern Pacific
steamships, since the raising of the quar-
antine and embargo on railway lines by
the state of Texas, against New orleans,
viii return to New Orleans. The Eel Rio.
the only steamer Of the line in port, will
sail for New York tomorrow. and that is
expected to be the last steamer, unless
the El Sol. now en- route from New York
for Galveston should put in here, but it
is thought she will receive orders at Port
EadS to proceed to New Orleans. The
Southern Pacific people are glad the en-
barge is off and that they can return to
d port that is fully adequate to meet the
requirements of their immense inward
and outward business and give it expedi-
tiOus dispatch. This Galveston did not
have the facilities to do, and there We're
vexatious and expensive delays which
surely tried the patience and went deep
into the eXchequer of the Southern Pa
cific.
A Southern Pacific official in a position
to know roughly estimates the gross eX-
penditures of the company for the time
they have been here at 100000 OF this
amount $4,000 was for labor and about
$50. 600 for wharfage. The remainder COW
ers other expenses the company had to
defray. He predicted that Galveston
would note and feel the difference in the
volume of trade when the Southern Pa
cifc took it's departure, and that there
would be quite a diminution in her in
ward and outward bound traffic.

Nebraska Laws Not Good Enough
for the Omaha Water Works
Company.

New York Nov. 19.-Justice Laughlin,
in special term of the supreme court to-
day dismissed the complaint in an action
brought by the United Water Works com
pany and others against the Omaha Water
Works company and the reorganization
committee Of the defunct American Water
Works company to prevent the further
execution of the plan whereby the prop
erty of the last named company, which
was bought in by the committee at q
foreclosure sale last year. was turned
over to the Omaha Water works com
pany. which executed a mortgage OF So
600 900. The property consisted of water
works, franchises and the plants sttuated
in Omaha and other cities in Nebraska,
formerly owned by the American Water
Works eompal9a3y5 la35 When that at comPa9y Gai1a3 y.
holders deposited their holdings with a
committee on whom full power was con-
ferred. The plaintiffs represented 58 out
563 holders of the bonds of the COMPANY
The new company was organized under
the laws of Maine and the objections
raised by the plaintiffs to the reorganiza-
ton plan were Overruled by the court on
the ground that no provisions OF the
Maine statutes are violated.
The new company has obtained the
right to the franchises from the state Of
Nebraska, and that state alone can at
tack the enjoyment of the franchise by
the new company.

JUDGE M'KAY'S REASON
Is Principally Just Because" Why
Jerry is Objectionable.

Judge George W. Mckay of Anthony
was in the city yesterday on private
business. He said:
THE POpulists of the Seventh district
cannot afford to elect such men as Jer-
ry Simpson to office. He is not rep
resentatiVe citizen and is not entitled
to the office. He spent two years in
Washington and his principal business
was playing to the galleries and seek
ing nOtOriety. He got enough OF that
to satfate any ordinary man but when
he was returned after being left out for
two years he resumed his old tactics.
1.-The people of the district are oppos-
ed to Simpsons reelection if they ex-
press their honest sentiments and 1t IS
my opinion that if he is not defeated
for the nomination he will be buried at
the polls"
A well known Populist from the Sew
enth district says that the "POpulists of
the Seventh district are quarreling like
blanked fools and the result is the par
ty will be buried at the polls and it
serves the party members right for
Quarreling."

To Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhaIants or
other local applications. Catarrh is
constitutional disease, and can be sue
cessfully treated only by means of
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sar-
saDarilla, which thoroughly pUrifies the
blood and removes the scrOfulOus taints
which cause catarrh. The great num-
Der of testimonials from those who have
been cured of catarrh by Hoods Sar-
saparilla prove the unequalled power of
this medicine to conquer this disease.
If troubled with Catarrh give Hoods
SarsapariIIa a fair trial at once.
