FIRE IN THE HOSPITAL.

Narrow Escape of an Insane Patient in
the Padded Cell.
1t was but piece OF luck that prevented
Julius Casserini, an insane patient at the
Receiving Hospital from being burned to
death last night.
About II O clock several OF the patients
smelled smoke and at once set up the
cry of fire. Search was made for the
blaze, and finally it was located in the
padded cell in which Casserini had been
placed. He was very violent and had
been handcuffed early in the evening and
placed in solitary confinement. When
front wall was found blazing and the cell
was full of smoke. Casserini was beating
at the fire with his shackles. He only
grinned idiotically when spoken to. and
the hospital physicians are wondering
what caused The fire.

He Was Stricken With Par
alysis While at His
Home.
At the Time He Was Appar-
emily in the Best of
Health.
Death of a Well-Known Business
Man and Theatrical Man
ager.

John KreIing of the furniture house OF
f. w. Kreling & Sons, while apparently
in the enjoyment of far more than the
amount of health and strength that usu-
ally fall to the lot of man, had sudden
stroke of paralysis last Friday. and at
$50 o'clock last night it term mated
fatally, The deceased was well known in
this city as one of the founders of the
Tiyoli and because of his connection
with that thea:er until about three years
ago. He was born in Germany IN 100,
and came TO New York when child
about three years of age.
He was for a long time in the hotel bust-
ness in New York City and from that
place came ere in 1874. In 1875 he, in
connection with his brother Joe, founded
the old TiYoli on the corner of Stockton
and Suffer streets, subsequently called
the Vienna Gardens.
After selling the old Tivoli the brothers
founded the present theater on Eddy
street, where in partnership with the late
William Kreling they ran it until about
three years ago.
John Kreling was a mem ber Of the Iro-
quois Club and of the Knights of Honor.
He leaves a father, F. w. Kreling,
brother Martin Kreling, of the furniture
house, and widow.
The news of his death will be great
surprise, for he was very powerful man,
in the most robust health up to the time
of the sudden stroke.
The funer al will take place on Tuesday
afternoon at half-past o'clock, and
the interment will be in the Odd Eel
lows Cemetery. Whether the services
will be held at the residence or the hall of
one of the societies of which he was a
membe has not vet been determined.

Dropping of Lamp Causes a Loss o.
SIO,OOO


SAN LUIS OBISPO. CAL, Oct. 17.-At
8 o'clock tonight fire broke out in the
millinery-store of Mrs. NJ. J. Schmidt, and
in short time tie fire department was on
the scene. The building being a frame
structure was soon devoured by the
flames. There was another frame build
ing on one side of it, and that soon went
also. The iremen were unable to check
the flames, which soon caught the San
Luis Hotel, large two-story structure.
1t was then thought that the entire
block would be consumed, but the firemen
managed to quell the blaze after it mad
totally des royed the hotel and ruined The
E ks hall, another large building ad join
ing. Had it not been for the City Hall the
entire block in both directions would have
gone up in smoke.
The fire was caused by the occupant OF
the millinery store dropping a lamp on
the floor. TIE loss is over $40, 000 and is
the most disastrous fire this C " has wit
messed in the past ten months. The build
ings destroyed were partially insured.

Many Visited the Saginaw
Kids" Training Quar-
ters Yesterday.
" Soaldy" Bill Quinn and Billy
Gallagher for a Prelim-
mary Bout.
Something More About Faker Sharkey
and the Disgust of the
Public.

The National Athletic Club has decided
to match "Scaldy" Bill Quinn and Billy
Gallagher for a preliminary bout on the
night of the Choynski-J Jeffries fight. The
pugilists will be put on for ten-round go.
The Choynski-Jeffries battle will take
place batween the 1st and 10th of next
month.
Galias hers last appearance in this city
was when he refused to 60 on in his fight
with mysterious" Billy Smith. Gallagher
on that occasion commenced his fouling
tactics, but Smith proved too much for
him at the game.
"Scaldy" Bill Quinn came out in the
ORourke com bination. GALLAGHER will
have to be in the pink of condition to do
anything with ''Scaldy," who fights con-
siderably like Walcott, rushing his man
with terrific speed.
Many sports took advantage of the
pleasant weather yesterday to visit La
vlgne at his training quarters, the Six
mile House. All were favorably impressed
with his appearance. Walcott, owing to
the great showing lie made with Green,
Will probably be favorite in the betting
george Dixon was in town yesterday.
he Is anxious 10 get another match with
Solly Smith, thist ime to finish. Smith
is willing. As the men can fight to a finish
only In Nevada, and as all pugilists, as
Corbett expresses it, are out for the
dough" the prospect of these clever lads
coming together TO a finish is remote in
deed. They will have to wait until Stuart
pulls off another carnival in the Sage
brush Safe.
The more Faker Sharkey's meeting
with Goddard is discussed in sporting cir
eIes the greater is the disgust. Those who
contribute largely to swell the receipts OF
hght-prom oters-the occupants of the
high priced chairs-emphaticalIy declare
that they wouldn't attend fight where
Sharkey was one of the principals if paid
10 do so. As for those who usually ap-
pear in the gallery, they are equally as
bitter.
Reports from Vallejo state that Faker
Sharkey, who was recently "tbe pride OF
the American navy" is now held up to
scorn and derision by those who formerly
thought ne would achieve the greatness
OF Lord Nelson.
Faking pugilists of Sharkey's caliber
may fool all of the people some of the
time, some OF the people all the time, but
not all OF the people all the time" The
people that Sharkey will fool this time in
paving to see him fake viii be very few.
They are on to his methods.
