DAILY of this city.
William A. Brady, Jeffries' manager,
read from the stage a challenge to hight
Tom Sharkey about Sept. 10 for the
largest purse offered by any club and
a $4,000 side bet. He stipulated that
the entire purse go to the winner, and
that no side agreements or secret ar
rangements be considered, and that the
sailor must agree to George Siler as
referee. The contest, he asserted must
take place in an eighteen-foot ring.
Mr.. Brady was vry caustic, and
called Sharkey a "blowhard," accus-
ing him of having robbed Fitzsimmons
of the decision in their fight two years
ago. Jeffries had little to say regard
ing his victory over Fitzsimmons.

Especial to The HeraldJ

Diamond, Utah, June lob. F. Jones,
formerly engineer of the Joe Bowers
Mining company, committed suicide
about 100 o'clock this morning in the
rear of the Diamond House. When
found there was a bullet hole through
his head. His revolver lay by his side.
He had been out of employment for
some time and had become very de-
spondent.
The only evidence left by the deceased
that he contemplated self-destruction.
was a letter left by him addressed to
his sweetheart. In this letter he in
formed her that he was bitterly tired
of this cold and cruel world and had
decided to quit it, but that he would be
her guardian angel and would con-
stantly be near her to guide and pro-
tect her footsteps.
Justice of the Peace Hanford of Sill
yer City held an inquest this after
noon. The testimony showed that Jones
was partly intoxicated when he took
his life.
Jones was 80 years of age and single.

New York, June 1O.-The Times to-
morrow will say:
The division of the spells of the JET
fries-Fitzsimmons fight was as follows;
Half of the receipts went to the Coney
Island Sporting club, and half to the
contestants The amount taken in at
the door was $S5,270.
Half of the admission money amount
ed to s42,6S5. OF this FitZsimmons re-
ceived so per cent, or $25,5sl, and JEFF
fries 40 per cent, or $17.054. The purse
said TO have been offered by the ciuo
was $4,000. In the event of Jennes
winning, this was to be equally DIVIDED,
thereby making FitZsimmons' total re-
ceipts s35,5S1, and Jeffries, S2l,O54-
II is declared that Fitzsimmons would
not make the match until he had been
guaranteed the large end of the purse
and the gate money, owing to his repu-
tation and position. Manager Brady
accepted 40 per cent for his man, be-
lieving that in the long run such an
amount and decision were worth
more than &c. per cent and a defeat.

NIPPED IN THE BUD.
A Well-Developed Conspiracy for
Jail DELIVERY Frustrated.

OAKLAND, April 22-Sheriff o. L.
Rodgers to-day frustrated a well-dev
oped conspiracy which had for its prime
object the delivery of two murderers,
prisoners of the County Jail, and the
success of which might have resulted
in wholesale Jail break
The leaders in the conspiracy were
William A. Brandes, convicted of muir
der in the second degree for beating to
death his thirteen-year- daughter,
Lillian Brandes, and whose motion for
new trial will be argued before Judge
Hall next Monday; and John Eslabe,
the convicted murder of Charles Gates,
the crippled tomale vender, whom he
beat to death with piece of lead pipe
Eslabe is the instigator, and the two
prisoners found a formidable ally in
simple minded married woman, whose
name Sheriff Rogers declines to make
public. This woman has frequently Wis
tied Eslabe at the County Jail. and she
appeared smitten with the murderer.
A few days ago Eslabe's female friend
and ally visited the Jail and left
small package for her Jailed lover She
had frequently brought fruits and deli
cacies for him, and the package was
pdSSeu u the prisoner without exam
ination. Eslabe was taken into his
cell and searched to-day On him were
found hacksaws, files and a frame.
When confronted with the evidence the
conspirator frankly admitted his pur-
pose and his allies, confessing that he
had sent for the TOOLS
Brandes and Esla be have now been
placed in solitary confinement. and
each in his separate cell will SO remain
until his case is disposed of The wo-
man in the conspiracy will in all prob
bility be arrested.
