Figures on the Output and the Brandy

the Revenue Office.

The figures showing the total amount of
sweet wines produced in this S:ate during
the past season have just been made pub
lie by the internal Revenue Office.
They show that the product for the year
will fall SO per cent below that of last
owing to some extent TO the fact that the
grape crop was short of other years.
The season during which wine-manu-
facturers receive the brandy used to fortify
their product free of charge is from Au-
gust to May l, they being compelled at
other times to pay a tax of 81 10 per gall
Ion, which. of course, is prohibitive.

SL|O DOWN THE
RAIL To DEATH
Little Harry Kelly Falls
Three Stories in the
New Brunswick
Happily Playing He Lost His
Balance and Was Precip:.
tated Headlong.
He Was Taken to the Receiving Hos.
pital and Died in Less Than
Three Hours.

Harry Kelly, bright boy 6. years of
age, was fatally injured last evening at the
New Brunswick Hotel, 14S Sixth street.
Harry was amusing himself by sliding
down the banister from the third to the
second floor along with other boys and
lost his balance. He had just started and
fell from the third floor to the basement,
q distance of about forty feet.
Some of the inmates of the hotel heard
Harry's yell of fear, followed by the
crash as his body struck the floor in the
basement hallway. Tney ran to the spot
where he lay unconscious and some one
rang up the Receiving Hospital for the
ambulance.
The boy was taken to the hospital and
Drs. Fitzgibbon and Maher found that his
skull was fractured. his ribs were broken
and he was injured internally. They ex-
pressed the opinion that he could not live
many hours, which was verified, as the
boy breathed his last about 8 o'clock.
Harry lived in the hotel with his
mother, Mrs. Patrick Kelly. She had
just left the hotel when one of The other

DAYLIGHT BURGLARY.
The Residence of Mrs. Halleck, ia
Scott Street, Entered and Several
Articles Stolen.

Ihe Reside ence OF nlrs hAilecA' LIZ
Scott Street, Entered and Several
Articles Stolen.
A bold burglar visited the residence OF
Mrs. Halleck, LA Scott street, on Thurs
day afternoon and carried away gold
watch and chain, a valuable diamond pin
and purse containing 81 81.
Mrs. Dali, lady friend of Mrs. Hal
leck's called upon her that afternoon,
and as she intended remaining for tea she
took off her gold watch and chain and
placed them and her purse in drawer in
Mrs. Haileck's bedroom alongside dla-
mond pin belonging to Mrs. Halleck.
The ladies went into the parlor and after
chatting for about an hour Mrs.. Halleck
had occasion to go into the bedroom. 1t
occurred to her somehow to look into the
drawer, and to ber astonls hment her
diamond pin and Mrs. DalPs gold watch
and chain and purse had disappeared.
Policeman Durkin was notified and his
suspicious fell upon the Chinese servant,
but after lnterrogating him he was salts
fed of his innocence. 1t is supposed that
a peddler who was seen in the nelghbor-
hood slipped into the house from the rear
door and stole the articles. A mum Der OF
thefts of similar nature have been COM
mitted III that locality lately.

way won under double wraps. He was
cleverly ridden by George Cochran. Gov
ernor finished third, about fifteen lengths
away.
Sixth to be decided was a mile dash
under selling conditions. Babe Murphy
opened z TO choice, but the public have
grown chary of horses running in the
colors of Louis EzeIl, and she drifted back
to twos. The play was confined to Collins,
Basquil and Palm erston, the latter being
hammered down from Is to s. 1t looked
as though anything might win until the
stretch was reached, when Piggott hustled
Palmerston into first position, and Gene
Leigh's erratic cast-off headed the favorite
over the line by a length. Collins came
from the far rear taking the show.
The final seven-furiong run was nothing
but little play for David. The chestnut
gelding was prohibitive to favorite

Dunboy. Salisbury II at present many

Oakland.
Sanguine Predictions Concerning
the Attendance About
the Ring.
Twenty-Five Private Detectives May
b Sent Up to Carson to
Keep Order.

The sale of seats for the Fitzsimmons-
Corbett fight began in this City at noon
yesterday. The sale was carried on by
Edward G. Cook. w. Fl. Clark, Dan
Stuart's cousin, was present, but took no
active part.
All orders from the smaller cities of the
interior have been filed from Carson.
Many San Francscans have also procured
tickets in the same way. The sale will
close at noon, March IA.
II was stated yesterday by Agent Cook
that the sale of tickets had been most
pleasant surprise to Stuart, as the pro-
ceeds would almost double his expecta-
tions. He believes that there will be 2O,O 900
people present.
Last Thursday" said Clark. ''an order
came in from Pittsburg for Its seats and
for go from St. Louis. Small places.

or three seats. have sent in orders for from
six to ten."
AS soon as the sale opened Billy Will
liams for Charles L.. A her of the Baldwin
Hotel purchased $500 worth of $40
tickets. During the afternoon nearly 200
tickets were sold. About half were for $40
seats, and the proceeds, according to
Agents CoOk ana ClarR, announced 10
nearly $6000 Many tickets were also sold
in the evening.
II was expected that 5000 tickets would
be sold in this City alone, but that the es-
innate has been reduced considerably is
shown by the fact that just 1000 tickets
have been retained TO supply the demand
of both Oakland and San Francisco.
In the morning some time was spent in
consultation between Captain Hind of
the Pinkerlon Detective Agency and Clark.
An agreement was reached that probab bly,
twenty-five Pinkerton men will be sent to
Carson.
Their duties will consist in taking charge
OF the gates into the pavilion. to keep a
close lookout for thieves and to assist in
preserving good order generally.
Clark seems to be enthusiastic over the
condition of the principals and gave it as
his opinion that the contest would not
terminate under ten rounds, and may last
much longer.

"The Southern Pacific Railroad esti-
mates there will be Il, 900 people at Carson
to see the Corbett- tt-Fitzsimmons battle"
said w. II. Mills yesterday. "Of this
number about 1000 will go from Nevada
and 5000 from the East and Pacific Coast.
All the Pullman cars not absolutely in use
for twenty-four hour runs are to be used
for Carson fight purposes. The road has
sent East for more Pullmans, and is haul
ing one or two empty Pullmans by every
train.
ut appears, however, that three or four
persons are going by ordinary coach to
one in the Pullmans, which seems to indi-
cate that many comparatively poor people
are going to see the tight.
There never was better prospect for
fruit in California than at present. The
season is four or five weeks behind last
year. The winter has been cold and back

quite warm weather after the prevailing
rain the buds are likely to shoot at once.
1.-The prospect for grain of all Kinds is as
fine as could be desired. Wheat is in ex-
cellent condition and coming in rapidly.
Oats, barley and other grain are the same.
Grass is also growing rapidly, and the in

bequeathed $40, note made by her hus-

1t is alleged that the value of the estate
is unknown, but it will amount to several
thousand dollars. The will was signed on
