until quite recently by Major u. ~
Walker
TIE ORIGIN a MYSTERY.
The origin OF the fire remains a mya-
,erv It's course can be clearly traced
from the drying-room through the WIN
dow TO the second story, and upwards
but there was no fire In the drying-roolh'
where IT originated Two theories nave
been advanced. The first, that the neat
from the steam-pipes had charred me
wooden brackets. and that the atmos-
pheric conditions acted on the charcoal J..
and caused IT 10 ignite Inc secohu
theory is that spontaneous combustion
was the cause. Whatever the cause may
he the question is one that is agitaung
the insurance companies to very great
ovtent. Several fires have occurred IN
tohacco factories recently. with no APP
parent cause and an insurance man
soid Yesterday that. If scientists could
demonstrate that the conditions OF 10
bacco factory favored spontaneous com
bustlon no company would undertake
such a risk.

Ecstasy Over the End.

When the end came and Corbett stayed
upon his knees until the fatal ten had been
counted, Mrs. FitZsimmons almost went
mad with joy. Shouting consratulatory
and endearing terms to the conqueror she
stood upon her chair waving her handker-
chief until the tide of humanity which
swept down the aisles of the arena toward
the ring carried her from her place. From
his corner Corbett made his way to Fi.Z-
simmons corner and desperately attempted
10 continue the fight. The new champion
wife. beside herself with rage, climbed
upon the platform and frantically struggled
to get at the defeat ted man.
III XIII him. she screamed III Kill
the coward She was carried back to her
husbands corner and then off the stage.
AS the turmoil inside the ropes had sub
sided she rushed to the, conqueror's dress
ing room. where she affectionately greeted
him. unmindful of the blood which dripped
from his face and breast and arms.
Il knew Bob would win" she said as she
entered the carriage for the drive back to
Cooks Ranch.
"I have been confident of 1t from the day
of the match between the men. and l have
grown more confident every day since the
training for this fight lfegan. My husband
is the greatest fighter the woriI has ever
known. and 1t was only to be expected
that he would Wit, the championship at
the first opportunity heo had. 1 am going
back to the baby now and tell him that
he is the son and namesake of the cham
pion OF the world. I am tne happieSt wo-
man in all the worli today, but 1 am not
any nappier than 1 expected, and the real
ization of our hopes is great and glorious.
Now Bob and the baby and l will settle
down to more quiet life"
FitxsimmOns' Statement.
Fitzsimmons made the following state
ment last night:
"Corbett came to me after the fight was
~ -,
best fighter he had ever met. 1 will prob
ably retire from the ring now and spend
the rest of my life with my family. Cor
6ett never hit me but one good poke, and
that was left hook on the jaw. 1t cut
my lip and jolted me up bit but never
Evening star., 1897-03-18

Victory did not seem possible for Fitz-
simmons until the last moment of the bat
tie. He was giving every indication of
slowly going to pieces when he delivered a
blow in vital part and followed it with
two others, which sent the Californian to
the floor with the agony of pain and de-
spair printed on his face, and he was un-
able to rise within the limit which would
save him.
