On the body was found a Colts revolver of forty-one caliber with one of the cart ridges discharged. Examination of the gun shows that this had been fired for some time. Rosso claims that the mur- dered man fired three shots at him, but with the pistol found on Froncke as evil dence to rebut his story he will have a hard time to prove his assertion.
 The gun with which Rosso killed Froncke was a cheap one, and from 1t four shots had been fred The murderer claims that he shot but twice at his vic tim. At first he would make no statement to the police, but later acknowledged that he had killed the man, who, he claimed, was a friend of his. He was so intoxi- cated that the police place no confidence in what he says. The general belief is that the two men met each other while out on a debauch, and becoming engaged in drunken brawl, the murder followed.
 Antonio Rosso, the murde- r, is 23 years of age. He was taken by Special Officer Burge to the Central Police Station inn mediate}y after the snootin~ and a charge of murder was entered against his name. Rosso's story, told in an incoherent man. ner, was as follows:
 'I met this man w.4o was a friend of mine and we had several drinks togeth- CT. Then we went down to Front street and Broadway, where we drank wine for some time. We finally quarreled and he threw an empty glass at me. I resented this and went outside and dared him to come out on the street, where we could settle the matter. He followed me out side and drew a gun and fired three shots at me. He did not hIL me but 1 returned his fire with two shots."

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Thirty- -one men started in a six-day bicycle race in Madison-square Garden at five min utes after 12 o'clock this (Monday) morning. The starters are all in ex- cellent condition and the plank track, ten laps to the mile, is in perfect order. The attendance at the start was not large owing to the stormy weather.
 When the numbers of the racers were distributed the referee could find no one who would take "13," Irish, English, American, French and Russian riders seeming to be afraid of it. Hence no 13" will be represented.
 At one minute after 12 o'clock the riders were called to the scratch and the following responded: Charles w. Miller, American, and winner of last years six-day race; Joseph H. Rice, American, second man in last years

 Team of Oakland.

VALLEJO, Dec. 1.-The Reliance foot ball team of Oakland defeated the Far raguts of Vallejo here to-day in hard fought contest. the score being 10 to O. The visitors were headed by Frank Prick, who played splendid game at halfback, ably supported by Platt and Deacon. The latter was fullback, and his bunting was a feature of the game. In the first half Platt kicked a beautiful field goal just before time was up. In the second half Deacon circled his field and scored a touchdown, but missed the goal. Peter Smith, captain of the Olympics. umpired the game and gave general satisfaction by his prompt and just decisions.
 It was the Farragut's first game of the season. and, considering that they had several new men in the team, they made splendid showing.

FACED STARVATION AFTER THE
 WRECK.
BY HAL HOFFMAN.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

JUNEAU, Nov. 29 (via Vancouver, Dec. D.-The steamer Alert which went to the rescue of the ship wrecked passengers of the steamer Detroit, who were stranded upon the shore of Shelter Island. short of provi- sions and in danger of starvation in case of a storm, reached them last Sat urday and returned in safety with all. The Alert took food supply for use should she be delayed by the weather The ship struck a reef about a. mile from shore, and only the favorable cir cumstances of daylight and calm water prevented a catastrophe as serious as that of the ill-fated Clara Neva6- last winter. Had the accident occurred at night nearly all, if not all on board, would have been lost in all probability. As soon as the Alert got into the chan nel here a wind arose and heavy storm came on.
 The passengers were knocked off their feet or seats, and those playing cards at tables were tumbled over the floor by the force of the collision against the rocks. The Detroit at last accounts had disappeared from her perch on the reef, having previously listed heavily, and has been knocked to pieces by wind ana waves. Sne can no longer be seen, and is a total loss.
 The passengers signed statement expressing their appreciation of the eR forts made by Captain Latham to get them out of their perilous position and ashore, and of his efforts to promote their comfort on the island and to get help to them. The Alert was sent out to the rescue by the customs authori- ties here.
 Interest in the Atlin and Porcupine Creek diggings Is still lively, and if there is any difference the interest Is growing, though that is hardly possi- ble in Alaska. No one has reached the coast from Dawson since the news of the big fire was brought out on the steamer Ora. Navigation has closed, and winter has come down from the sky. Doubtless some are now on the way out. When winter settles down Q little harder travel over the snow and ice to Atlin and Porcupine will begin.

DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE:
A Medical DISCOVERY That EfectuaHy
Cures Piles in EUery Form

For many years physicians have ex-
perlmented in vain. seeking a remedy
which would effectually cure piles and
other rectal troubles. without resort
ing to a surgical operation. Many
remedies were found to give temporary
relief, but none could be depended upon
to make lasting, satisfactory cure
Within recent period, however, a
new remedy. the Pyramid Pile Cure,
has been repeatedly tested in hundreds
of cases and with highly satisfactory
results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile
Cure is to instantly remove the pain
and irritation generally present and
from that time on the cure rapidly
progresses ard before the patient is
hardly aware Of it he is entirely cured.
The remedy seems to act directly on
the nerves and blood vessels of the
parts affected as it comes into direct
contact with them and sets I'D a.
healthy action. which in a perfectly
natural way brings the parts to their
normal condition.
The remedy does it's work without
any pain or inconvenience to the suf-
ferer and is justly considered one Of
the most meritoriouS discoveries of
modern medicine.
Piles is one Of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted. If neglect
ed 1t frequently develops into fistula
or some equally fatal or incurab!e
trouble. whereas by the timely use of
this simple but effective remedy no one
need suffer single day from any form
Of piles unless they want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless, containing no mineral pois-
ons and is also very reasonable in
price, costing but so cents a package
1t is sold in drug stores everywhere.
The manufacturers Of the remedy are
the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall.
Mich. who have placed this excellent
preparation before the public only af
ter giving it thorough and repeated
tests In the hands Of reputable physi-
clans. The results in hundreds of cases
have convinced us that it will not dis
appoint you.

BUSINESS GOES ON.
Production Not Much Affected by the
War Cloud.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Dun & Co. s
review will say: In spite OF foreign
conditions, failures in three months are
smaller than in the first quarter of any
year since 1856; the ratio of defaulted
liabilities TO payments through clearing
houses has been the smallest for that
quarter since 1881; the average of LA
bl.it1es per firm in business has been
the smallest since 1880. and the aver
age of liabilities per failure has been
lower than ever before in any quarter
1t is especially significant that the
failures for less than 100000 without
material decrease in number, were. 20
per cent smaller than last year in
manufacturing and "a per cent smaller
in trading.
The war cloud. which many have in
ferred must have greatly increased
commercial disasters, does not appear
to have any such effect as yet, and
while there is some decline in new or
ders, nearly all live works are covered
so far ahead that the difference is not
felt.
Cotton has advanced one-eighth be-
cause of the idea that production may
be reduced. While the mills are now
nearly all active the consumption does
not exceed the maximum. The small
est sales Of wool for many years are
reported. The stocks held by manu-
facturers have evidently been much
greater than anybody supposed, and
they are not yet buying after several
months of waiting nor showing any
disposition to buy, though nearly all
their works are running full. The iron
and steel market shows TO decrease
Failures for the week have been 2aO
in the United States, against 26O last
year. and q in Canada, against AZ last
year.
