Mobile, Ala. July 29.-This city is in
a turmoil today as the result of three
murders which occurred last night, and
which have driven the people to the
highest pitch of frenzy. Business is
practically suspended.
The first killing took place at 7
o'clock last evening. Thomas Jones,
SO years of age, a Confederate veteran
and highly respected, was done to
death by Isaiah Davis, who has already
served a term for assault with intent
to murder a white man. Jones at

house, into which he had broken, and
in the yard a scuffie followed. The ne

entirely overmatched Mr.. Jones, and
picked up a piece of wood which had
come off the fence, dealing his victim
crushing blow on the left temple,
breaking his neck and killing him in

The crowd which rapidly assembled
was about to lynch Davis. when a
wagon load of officers rescued him with
difficulty, and he was incarcera ted in
the city Jail. building strongly con-
structed. impossible of capture without
great loss of life. All night long a
desperate and determined crowd of men
remained outside the Jail, but they
knew the futility of an attack and were
awaiting their opportunity when the
prisoner would be removed.
Before midnight Mayor Bush called
out the local troops, but of the 500 COM

San Francisco, July 29.-The man
ayers Of the three principal prize fight
clubs are trying 70 agree upon a
scheme which, if carried out, will
practically give them a monopoly of
the business in this city. The idea
is to convince the supervisors that only
a, limited number of permits for fights
should be issued every month, and
that they, as the established clubs,
should have the permits. If this can
be done, only two fights every month
or three fights in two months will be
pulled off, and the National, the En-
pire and the Columbia clubs will
alternate with events. If this pugilistic
trust be formed, there viii no longer
be any rivalry in bidding for fighters
and large purses and per centages will
no longer be given.
AT present the fighters are getting
most of the money.
Solly Smith and Johnny Griffin have
signed articles to meet before the
Columbia club on Aug. 81. The men
are to weigh in at 125 pounds at p. m.
The Need9Iam- Gala CHER fight is off.
This leaves three contests for August
the Eyerhardt- Kelly match on the
18th, the Green Walcott on the both and
the Smith Griffin event on the 9th.

where he had the suppers with the
girl.
After the hearing Collins alluded to
certain Improbable speculations in
sugar, and talked about a shortage in
the accounts of Goldman & Goldman,
but the members of the firm do not
think there is any truth in this state
ment. On every point Mr.. Collins tes-
timony was met by counter testimony
on the part of the relatives of Miss
Barrett. The young woman's mother
stated under oath that Alice was at
home on both the Thursday and Fri
day nights to which Collins referred.
She also stated that her daughter never
asked Collins for 81, 200. Mr.. F'oss swore
that the much talked of $500 mentioned
in the will of the dead girl was not
paid to him.
Medical Examiner Stedman has no
belief in any story which reflects on
the character of the dead girl.
The Traveller publishes an affidavit
by Mr.. Collins in which he says:
Il firmly believe that Miss Barrett
committed suicide because she was be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 short in her ac-
counts with Goldman & Goldman.
base my belief on the fact that on the
day she bought the revolver (Friday)
she asked me TO loan her $1,000, say
ing that she needed the money that
day. l did not have that amount of
money with me, and as the banks were
closed I could not raise it. She told me
that Mr.. Foss was the person to whom
she loaned the $500, about which so
much has been said. and the loss of
which has been thought to have an i'm
portant bearing on the case. He in
vested the money in his business, she
said to me-
Foss is the man to whom Miss Bar
rett was engaged. The engagement
was broken off about three weeks ago.
William C. Goldman, the employer Of
Miss Barrett, tonight pledged his word
for the following statement:
First-No money above $500 is miss
ing. The cash book, check book and
letter book are the only books burned
Mr.. Goldman admits that 5000 in bills
is gone from the safe. but believes it
was paid out ordinarily in the course
of business on Friday. Not over $500
could be missing without Mr.. Cod
mans knowledge now.
Second-The statement that the girl
has speculated in Sugar or any stock TO
the amount of $4,000 or $4,000 loss. is
an absolute untruth, emanating from
wholly Irresponsible persons
Third-Mrs. Wheelwright or any
other relative of Miss Goldman never
clothes. Goldman says that the girl told
her intimates that a Miss Wheelwright
gave her dresses, but declares that the
name is fictitious and pure folderol OF
Miss Barrett, If it was mentioned by
her at all.
Fourth-Miss Barrett did not go to
the hotel Thorndylxe or any other hotel
with lady about 70 depart on a jour
ney.
Fifth-She was murdered.
Mr.. Goldman says that Mr.. Stedman
has told him that the wound was not
such as would be inflicted in the aver
age case of suicide. and has admitted
of TO shadow of a doubt. Mr.. Goldman
challenges the police in their verdict of
suicide He believes the murderer was
a Wouldbe thief who ESCAPED by
clambering in the light shaft. with the
aid of projections there He thinks
Miss Barrett bought the revolver for
her protection on account of tf-s rob-
berry of a year ago

Fell Dead at the Races.

Cincinnati, o., July 29.-After watch
ing his gallant FLY Taluca win the
Ohio stakes in the hardest kind of
drive, Mr.. E. T. MCLEAN, one of the
Test known hcrsemen on the American
turf. was attacked with heart diseas
and died a short time afterwards at the
Oakley race track this afternoon. Mr.
Mclean was sitting at the time in the
timers stand, when he dropped over,
gasDing for breath. Medical aid was
summoned. but despite the efforts of
physicians. the turfman died just as
the bugle sounded calling the horses to-
the post for the last race Mr.. Nc
Leans death was undoubtedly caused
by the exciting finish in the stake race
and the sensational incidents which
followed. After Taluca crossed the
wire a winner by nose, and the jock
eyS were dismountin9, John Huffman,
the st. Louis horseman, took advant-
age of the selling clause in the condf-
tons in the clause, and began to bid
up Taluca. Tom Blackburn. McLean's
trainer, stood by and protected his
hlly, and after being bid I'D to $4,000,
she was bought in by Blackburn at that
figure. Blackburn at once put in a
claim for Remember Me, Huffmans
horse, which finished second to Taluca
and, after paying $500, the amount he
led to the Mclean stable All during
the run I'D, Mr.. Mclean sat silently
watching the transaction. After it was
over, McLean's friends first noticed
that he was i'll, and a short time after
wards he received the fatal attack Mr..
McLean's death caused the last race
to be declared off. For 10 years or more
Mr.. Mclean has raced horses. and the
public always had the greatest conf
dence in his stable. Mr.. Mclean was 55
years of age, and leaves a widow and
family. The Oakley management has
declared off the Oakley races for to-
morrow and Saturday on account of the
death of Mr.. Mclean.
The racing today was the best of the
meeting, and large crowd witnessed
the sport. Taluca was the only favor

Not many minutes after this time
was taken the Pathfinder put about,
apparently giving up the race.
