MAY BOX IN SCRANTON.
Joe Fairburn and Joe Hopkins Are
Now Negotiating.

Yesterdays Philadelphia Inquirer
says in relation to a prospective glove
contest in Scranton:
Joe Fairburn, the popular light
weight, of this city. and Joe Hopkins,
of New York, are likely to be matched
for a 20-rOund set-to before the Amer
lean Sporting club, of Scranton. The
club has offered a liberal purse for
the men to fight at 125 pounds, to
weigh in at o'clock in the afternoon.
"Fairburn does not object to the con-
ditions, except that he would rather
weigh in at 122 pounds. The matter
will probably be settled today, when
articles will be signed. Fairburn is
now in charge of Professor John ii.
Clark
Concerning the foregoing and matters
of more interest to the local sporting
element, Jack Skelly has written as
follows to a Scranton friend:
Brooklyn, n. Y, Aug. IS. 1895.
Hopkins has already signed the articles.

| box Dobbs. Herford has been making
| all kinds of bluffs ever since Dobbs de-
feated Cans ten months ago. At that
| time Dobbs defeated Cans at 1876 pounds
weigh in p. m. Since then Herford
| thinking that DObbs could not do 1873
pounds, challenged Dobbs at that weight
| / let him go along with the idea that
| Dobbs could not do the weight, which
| made Herford feel good and of course he
| talked all the louder. Now that / called
his bluff to box at 1873 pounds he backs
| out
Herford told the Greenwood Athletic
! clug of Brooklyn that if they could get
| Dobbs at 1873 pounds, that Cans would
| sign articles without delay. As soon as
got back to New York / was Informed Of
| the above. Without one minute of delay

/ club 800 forfeit for weight and appear
ance. The articles were then sent to Her
ford, but he refused TO sign them. so the
match is off.

its unbearable cold and countless hard
ships, they knew, would bring death
upon them.
After hope OF rescue had long been
abandoned, after the shipwrecked men
were almost completely broken in body
and spirit, hope, which had died in
their hearts, came to.life again on the
forty-fifth day, when they saw ves-
sci heading for the island. 1t was
fishing schooner of the North Amcri-
can Commercial company, which, while
lowering about the island waiting for
fair wind to finish her voyage to the
Earluck Straits, sighted the ship
wrecked men on the island.
HAILED WITH JOY.
"It may be imagined with what 10Y
the schooner was hailed by the erstwhile
hopeless men. They were taken to
Kadiak Island where they had to wait
month for vessel bound for the
United states.
Mr.. Meixell arrived in Seattle on Au-
gust s. Five of his companions died
from disease brought on by exposure
and starvation, while several others OF
the party are lowering between life
and death. Some of the men had theii
feet and hands frozen clinging to the
rigging and a few OF the party vii

fore.
"The island on which they were
wrecked is Cherikof Island, 300 mile:
