CHAMPIONS TOM AND JOE
Sharkey and McAuliffe Will
Box in the Country
Towns.
Silver Cups Will Be- offered as Prizes
to the Boys Who Will Spar
fer Prints.

Thomas Sharkey, the champion pugilist
of the American navy, and Joseph Tanner
McAuliffe, the champion heavyweight
pugiIist of American tanneries, have signed
articles of agreement to leave this City at
an early date with the avowed intention
of taking the cities and towns of Califor-
MIA by surprise.
1t is said that Sharkey is taking light
exercise somewhere in the immediate
vicinity OF Vallejo, ana that Tanner Joe
has already got himself into prime con-
dItion after course of heavy training in
the immediate vicinity of Breweryville.
San Mateo County.
The articles read that Tom and Jerry. or
rather Joe, will visit the principal cities of
the State and afford the natives an oppor-
unity of seeing how two noted gladiators
can tap each other with fiye-ounce gloves
without the painful necessity OF having to
score knockout.
Alter engaging in four-round bout, the
fistlc Gel ebrities will further astonish the
natives IN exhibitions of bag-punching, at
which ga me they are said to be very ex-
perienced, especially big Joe, who is as
fash as cat on his pins and fearfully az
gressive as bag puncher.
Sharkey has thoroughly mastered a
cute little speech which was written by
SnarpSnOOIer carp. his explanation Vi
that foul blow which won the champion
sailor pugiiist $4,000 recently, much to
the chasrin OF a man named Fitzsim-
mons. who figured on the capture OF the
big purse long before he had the pleasure
of meeting Mr.. Sharkey in battle array.
These beautiful silver cups, with Cham
pion Sharkey's name engraved thereon,
were built for purpose which has been
kept secret until now. Mr.. Sharkey
wisely concluded 10 part with some of his
hard earned money in the purchase OF sill
verware, because he had an object in view.
The cups will be offered as prizes for the
young men OF the country who will en-
gage in our round-boxing bouts at each
performance which will be given by
Champions Tom and Joe.
1t is said that Sharkey regrets the fact
that when ordering the cups he made one
great mistake. He intended to have his
picture stamped on them, but in the hurry
of the moment. he forgot that important
direction, and now his heart is conse-
quently sad and pensive, but Tom is san
guine, nevertheless, that the boys of the
country whose proclivities are sportive,
will thoroughly appreciate the kindness
Of the cham pion in offering such beautiful
prizes for the encouragement of fistic sport
in the bucolic districts.

cirrus fruit?
New combination passenger and freight
'depots, or freight depots only, are already
bgiIt or in process of construction at
.most'of The principal points on the line.
kA.picture has been obtained of the COM
Ebiaation passenger and freight depot at
sEscalon, one OF the growing towns on the
line. Bat perhaps the order of the words
Should be freight and passenger depot, as
the road, even before its formal opening

at Fresh O, kept Traffic Manager Moss
. busy and had about all the freight bust
ness it could accommodate, and since the
running of regular passenger trains, be-
ginning last month, the passenger BUSH
ness has been increasing steadily.
.e' The average depots OF the railroads OF
the United States do not begin to compare
with those of the Valley road. They are
finely finished inside and out, weil-lighted
and warm IN the winter season. The
depot at Escalon shows the general style,
a summer waiting-room at the end, re-
.'sembIing a port cochere, in which seats
will be placed in the summer season. The
styIe'of architecture of these stations is
Spanish, or rather the old mission style.
and in this the management of the road
has reproduced and preserved the distin-
gushing style OF buildings in California in
. early days. Depots are already COM
pleted, or nearly completed, at Escalon,
Elmwood, LIE Grande, Lankershim. which
Is the.station for MADEIRA two miles away,
MERGED, Geneva and Marguerite. The
depots cost about $4,000 each. Brick pas
" senger depots will be erected at Fresno
and Mercsd in addition to he freight
depots. The freight depot at Fresno is
brick, aud is now nearly completed. 1t is
the ultimate intention to cultivate little
. parks around these depots. Eventually a
handsome depot will be erected at Stock
ton.
There will soon be a revival in construc-
lion work on the Valley Railroad. This
will be on the extension from Fresno. the
present southern terminus, to Bakersfield
The right of way has been secured, and
preparations are now being made to grade
and track the distance of 100 miles or
more.
In three or four weeks 300 or 400 men
will be put to work on the extension, and
at IS expected TO have the WORK finished in
a little over three months. The prospect
NOW is that the Valley Railroad engineers
VIII be sounding their peculiar whistle for
Bakersfield by the middle of next June,
when there will doubtless be another cele-
bration at the metropolis of Kern County
that will rival that of Fresno.
AS the right of way to Hanford has been
secured the proba bility is that large con-
SEDUCTION force will be kept busy through
the summer.

Limb to Extinguish a Fire in the
CAP Building.
A lively blaze ON a high story of the
mammoth new CALL building on the cor
ner of Market and Third streets attracted
wide attention last night. About 1880
O'Clock I'D in The midst of the great steel
rafters bright glare was seen, apparently
spreading in the direction of the immense
derrick used for hosting material to the
upper floors.
Among the spectators who observed the
glare was J. Gumper, mechanic of this
City and ex-railroad fireman. He was
not willing TO stand i'm passively by, as ne
readily conceived what damage might re-
suit. Hurriedly be took means to break
in the door leading TO the building frcm
the street and, without pausing, started TO
scale the heights toward the fire. By
means of ladders and agile clam bering he
passed from story 10 story. closely watched
by the admiring crowd below.

had evidently caught from the small
furnace used by the mechanics OF the
BUILDING, and had communicated to the
tcolchest in the immediate vicinity, which
was burning briskly. As be looked
through the binding smoke and showers
OF sparks he saw that there was imminent
danger of the fiery element spreading to

Rearv Snowfau On Io,va.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 13.-Eight
inches OF snow has fallen here since noon
to-day, and the weather indications are that
the storm is not nearly done. Street rail-
way traffic has been seriously interfered
with. and the transit lines have been kept
in operation only on irregular schedule
and with difficulty. The snow has been
accom- panied by heavy west wind and
has drifted badly. The railroads report
no serious trouble thus far, but if the fall
lasts few hours longer, they will suffer
delays of trains. The fall is now the
heaviest of the winter.

oaUINN APT TO BE ACQUITTED
The State Fails to Make Ont a Strong
Case Against Him.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 16.-The trial of Wal
ter O'Quinn for the murder of Police
man Ponder was nearly finished to-day.
Several witnesses are yet to be examined
by the state in rebuttal, and then the
arguments will be made. This will con-
sumo tomorrow, and verdict is expect
ed tomorrow night.
O'Qunn made his statement late this
afternoon, concluding the defense. He de-
MED the shooting of Ponder, declaring
that he was behind the bar in Simon's
saloon, adjoining Steinau's place when it
took place He accounted for certain keys
found in his possession, and said he had
taken the $500 cigars found at his house
from Steinau in settlement of a debt owed
by Steinau
Two witnesses for the state to-day testi-
fed that they saw O'Quinn in Steinau's
place about the time of the shooting, and
two others for the defense swore posi-
lively that he was in the other saloon
when the shooting occurred. Public opin-
ion is that the state has not made out a
case against OQuinn, and that he will
be acquitted. He takes his trial easily,
and appears to be confident of the result.
If O'Quinn is acquitted, it will be regarded
as equivalent to the acquittal of Steinau
and Simon, as the police claimed to have
more evidence against him than the 9TH
