JEFFRIEs' SORE ARM.
May Cause n POstpOnement of His
Fight With Sharkcy.

New York, Oct. 15.-Whether the cham
pionship fight between Jeffries and Shar-
key will be held as scheduled on Oct. z
or postponed on account of Champion
Jeffries having a strained arm is uncer-
tain. But it win be definitely settled Tues
day morning after further examination by
a physician.
w. A. Brady and Tom O'Rourke will
meet in New York Tuesday to decide what
will be done. O'Rourke opposes POST one-
ment. Shsrkey likewise thinks the injury
is of no consequence and that Jeffries has
some other reason for not wanting to fight
on Oct. q. Tonight O Rourke said:
Il believe Jeffries win be able to use
his arm in three days as well as he ever
did in his life, and he must either fight or
forfeit on Oct. p. Sharkey had been in
jured just before he fought Jeffries in San
Francisco. A strain i'm his back had af-
fected the kidneys, and he wanted post
ponement 1t was not allowed, and every
body knows the result
Since Sharkey has been training for this
fight he has met with three accidents any
one of which / believe was as bad as JEFF
fries injury. When il became known
some time ago that Sharkey had cut his
foot, they said at once that he did not
want to fight and that this was merely an
excuse. To avoid this report being circu-
lated against him. we said nothing of the
other accidents, and he win be ready 10
fight when the time comes. There must be
some other reason for Jeffries wanting a
postponement."

When the car reached the city, the whole

Recorder Broyles is on record as saying
he is going to break up such disgraceful
practices, which have been entirely too
frequent of late, and the fresh young men

Houses Constructed with "A View OF
Resisting TOrnadoes.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Several years ago a gentleman In New
York, having read of the havoc sometimes
caused by tornadoes In the West. designed
a house which he thought would battle the
most terrific Of these atmospheric disturb
ances. Il was built with wedge-shaped
points al either end like the bow of ship
and was mounted on wheels which moved
on a circular track. A large, strong wing
or vane projected from one end of the
house and was intended to act. under the
influence Of a high wind, as a kind of
weathercock and wheel the building
around on a pivot. 50 as 70 present. its
sharpened edge to the blast. An appro-
pirate apparatus underneath the house
provided for holding 1t stifiiy IN position,
except under the action OF a tornado, but
the originator Of this brilliant contrivance
apparently assumed that tornado blows
steadily from one direction and left out
of his calculations It's twisting qualities
The inmates OF this place of refuge, when
swept by the revolving hurricane, might
be considerably astonished by It's rapidity
of circumlocution. However the hopeful
inventor adds to his description Of the
structure a suggestion that it might be
peculiarly adapted for use as a hospital
since il could be turned on its wheels by
mechanical forces so as TO present the
sick ward to the sunshine throughout the
length of the day or to the ventilating eff
feet of the breeze from whatever quarter
it might be blowing. a private residence
which could be turned so as to follow the
sun and cause its purifying rays to shine
into every apartment successfully is a
magnificent luxury which commends itself
