San Francisco, Feb. 13.-After a
thorough examination of Champion
Corbett, made yesterday afternoon, Dr..
A P. O'Brien, the well known physi-
clan, issued the certificate which fol-
lows. For several days past Fitzsim-
mons has been insisting that Corbett
should be subjected to a thorough ex-
animation as to his physical condition.
This should be a complete answer:
James J. Corbett is the most perfect
specimen of physical manhood, in my
opinion, in the world today. 1 saw
him in his fight with Sharkey, and
must say that his condition is abso-
lutely different at the present time
from what il was on that occasion. At
ter a thorough examination, I have
failed to find one single flaw in his an
4tomy. The chest is expansive to
remarkable degree, showing the elias
ITCHY and firnness of the muscles. The
capacity of the lungs indicates great
endurance, especially when fortified by
the fact that he has a perfect heart,
the sounds of which are heard clearly
and distinctly over every portion OF the
praecordial region. The firmness and
pliability of the muscles throughout his
body give unmistakable evidence that
James J. Corbett has cared we'll for his
physical health. and undoubtedly has
recently passed through a hard and
persistent course of training.
Ny examinations of Mr.. Corbett
,Fere made both before and after eXer-
else. and I can say that ne showed
scarcely any signs of fatigue after his
violent practice. His heart showed no
undue increase in action, and he exhib-
ited no signs of distress, the respiratory
movements being slow, regular and
full.
His sinewy muscles are flexible and
firm without undue development in any
one group.
This is particularly characterized in
the muscles of the chest, arms, shoul-
ders and thighs. as well as the lower
region of the back ell Of which give
evidence of strength and vitality. And
the evidence. to my mind. which sug-
gests a radical Improvement in his
condition as compared to his last visit
10 this coast. is the healthy appear
aDce of the skin and mucous MEM
braRe. The latter particularly gives
marked evidence of a perfectly normal /
and rich condition of the blood and |
good tone TO the system throughout.
e''After the general examination I /
Vested the various refeNes With the /
object Of determining the condition of 1
his nervous system. The result was
that I found the nervous system 4
equally good as the muscular system. T
This is vitally important. as the gen +
eraI conditions of the body depend pri-
marily on the healthy condition of the /
nervous ccnters

RUMoRs OF A HITCH.
Side Bet Between jim and Bob Prob
ablv Of

New York. Feb. I3.-During the past
few days there have been rumors of a
hitch in the Iig fight between Corbett
snd Fitzsimmons. as far as the side
wager IS concerned. According to the
story, Warren Lewis, who has 50 $40
OF the $500 stake on the Corbett side,
had Withdrawn his money from stake
holder Al Smith. 1t was also said that
Fitzsimmons did not have q cent up
with Smith, and that there would not
be any side wager on the result. When
Smith was seen yesterday in regard to
the matter. he said:
The whole thing is pure rot. Fitz-
simmons has $500 with me and the
other Is. 600 is not due until next We'd
nesday. l only saw Warren Lewis once
within the past few days and that was
on matters entirely apart from the
pres.st night he has never approached
me regarding the s.. 500. and has not
taken il down. To tell you the truth.
he could not take it down if he wanted
q"
1T is also reported that Corbett has
not any money up with you?" was
asked.
That's another falsehood." said
Smith vigorously. Every cent is up.
and II necessary he could get $1,000
backing if he wanted TO. I am not
worrying about Fitzsimmons' cash. II
satisfied TO wait FIVE days after next
Wednesday, as long as he wires me
that the coin is on The way. The
money was to have been put up last
Wednesday. but somehow I missed
Martin Julian. Take it for me. there
is no chance Of the fight not coming
off. even if there is no side bet, and
don't believe such a thing viii happen"
It is not likely that George Dixon
and Frank Erne viii fight under Dan
Stuart's auspices. as has been reported,
unless Stuart offers the boxers a $40. 900
purse. Tom O'ROurke said yesterday
- could get this amount at his own
cJLb in tnis city, and ne did rot like
the idea Of travelling SO far without be-
ing assured that the matter would be
decided. When Dixon was matched 10
box Jerry Marshall, at the late fistic
carnival of Stuart, the rest did not
come off. O-Rourl1e declares that he is /
out of pocket $S19 on that affair. He 1
claims that Joe Vendig, who was in /
partnership with Stuart at the time, /
promised to make good the loss

vEsUvIUs CAUGHT.

The dynamite cruiser VeSuviuS made
five unsuccessful attempts to run the
blockade tonight. The conditions were
exactly reversed from last night, as
the air was free from fog or mist, and
the search lights worked perfectly.
For d stretch OF nine miles the waters

From the beach channel on the north
to Pumpkin Hill channel on the south,
the feet held the line in the following
order: Massachusetts. Maine, Amphi-
trite, New York, Indiana and COlum-
bia The line was established at z
O'Clock and the VeSuViuS was sent out
to sea. The searchlights began at once
to play over the waters 1t was about
7:35 when a light from the Maine
stopped in its Wanderings and streamed
along steadily upon one import. The
cause was soon known. She had caught
the Vesuvius. A red and green cOstOn
signal told the tale, and the lights of
the fleet. turned upon the spot, brought
the white hull of the cruiser into full
view. The Nesuvius put up her lights
fore and aft and went to sea again
for another trial. The next time she
got past the line and was nearly out of
danger when the lights of the AmDhi-
trite caught her.
Three other attempts were made.
and each time the blockade runner was

ed two and half miles east of this city this
morning. The train was coming down grade
at the rate of forty miles an hour, and in
crossing the frog of the Jordan switch left

mind to shut off the steam and apply the air
brakes. The engine continued, notwithstand-
ing at a terrific rate of speed, tearing up
the tracks and blowing up the ground at a
terrific rate For fifty-seven feet the engine
bumped over the ties and then went into the
ditch at the side of the track. The tender
went in the opposite direction, while the bag

HOG CHOLERA CURE.

in Iowa.

Roads Still Experimenting With 1T
in Iowa.
DUBUQUE, To-. Oct I4.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul and Burlington compa-
nies are still experimenting with view to
checking hog cholera which has been so Sc
riously decimatng the herds along their lines
as to reduce the shipments materially. That
success has attended their efforts is shown
by letters from scores of farmers and hog
raisers who have followed 1the advice and
used the remedies recommended by the agents
Of the railroad companies. One of the most
active agents in the effort tol1essen the death
freight agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul. whose headquarters are at Dubuque
He said today: ga thorough investigation
at various points into the cause of hog chol-
era leads me to believe that the disease is
caused by irregular and improper feeding.
The disease is more prevalent in the fall
when the farmers commence to gather the
animals for market, than at any other time.
The hogs are then taken from the pastures,
crowded into pens and permitted to gorge
themselves with grain. If care were taken
in the quantity given at regular times,
believe that what is called hog cholera would
be prevented
The Chicago Milwaukee & ST. Paul has
an expert on the road all the time advising
farmers and endeaVoring to demonstrate ex-
perimentally that the hog cholera. is not
caused by a germ, as it is popularity sup
posed. The farmers generally cling to the
germ theory, and insist that the disease is
contagious. The demonstrations of the rail-
road agents in maintaining the bad feeding
theory, however, are making many converts
and saving the lives of an immense number
OF hogs.
