once, and know just how good a man
he is. I saw Jeffries and Sharkey fight.
and there is only one explanation which
I can accept for F'itzsimmons having
met defeat at the hands of one of JEFF
fries caliber. I believe that he was
under the influence Of some drug.
Fitzsimmons has told me that he was
in good condition when he went into
the fight, but was drugged after the
second round. I believe what he tells,
though I am sorry to think that pugil-
ism has fallen into the hands Of men
who would stoop to such work.

EDUCATIONAL
QUEER EFFECT
That Cutting Of the End Had on the
 Shooting of Revolver

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 Speaking of pistols, said a New Or leans lawyer, 'I am reminded of remark able case in which was interested soon after the war, when I was practicing over in Alabama A general shooting affray, growing out of a family fued. had taken place at a crossroads store, and an influen- tial planter named McDermott was killed
 He was standing behind a little shed, a considerable distance away, at the time
 and a young man named Lee Allen was fir ing out of the store window at another of the crowd. McDermott was hit in the head and the bullet was identified as com ing from Aliens pistol which was an Eng fish weapon of a very unusual size-caiber A. But the singular part of the affair was that the place where the planter stood was out of range of the window. The corner of the shed interposed, and it was simply impossible to understand how the missile reached its mark. I was engaged for the defense, and, after carefully measuring the ground and firing several test shots I be-
 came convinced that my client was nno- cent and that there had been another A. calibre pistol In the fight The circumstan-
 tial evidence seemed to bear out my theory indisputably, and l felt confident of an ac- quittal, when, at the eleventh hour, the
 unexpected happened and knocked out my props.
 Tt occurred to the prosecuting attorney to test Aliens weapon and find out exactly how it carried. Accordingly, he screwed 1t in wise and baZed away few times at
 a target at different distances. The result
 was astonishing. Up to about 50 feet it shot all right but at that point the bullet sud- denly veered at all sorts of extraordinary tangents. Sometimes it sailed up into the air; sometimes it plunged downward, and sometimes it swooped off to one side. The explanation, however, was simple. It seem- ed that Allen had found the barrel too long, and, week or so before the fight, had filed off several inches. That operation completely destroyed the effect of the ri- fling, and, instead of imparting a true cir
 cular twist to the bullet, it gave 1t pe- culiar English, as billiard players would say, which was liable to send it in one direction as another. That experiment
 fully explained the mystery of McDer- mott's taking off. My client was convicted
 of manslaughter and afterward pardoned. don't know what became of the pistol. It should have been preserved as the only gun
 on earth that pitched curved balls.'

THE FIRST DEATH FROM SUN STROKE Dan Bremen, We'll Known Bar
 keeper, Victim of Heat. PR0STRATED ON THE STREET Taken to His Room and Died Five Hours Later-Another Case in
 First Avenue-Heat Was
 Very Oppressive
| PROSTRATED ON THE STREET

The first sun stroke of the season in Bir- mingham occurred yesterday, when two men were overcome with heat, one of them dying during the afternoon. This was the first death from sun stroke that ever oc- cured in Birmingham.
 About o'olock yesterday afternoon while walking along Nineteenth street, Dan Bren- nan, we'll known barkeeper. employed by c. P. Johnson in Twentieth street, between Second and Third avenues, was overcome by heat and fell to the pavement. He was picked up by Joe Feagin and Will Garvey, who took him to Mir McGeever's room at First avenue and Eighteenth street. Dr. Berry called and administered to the suffering man.
 A boy was engaged to watch by Bren- nan's bedside, and about $ o'clock he be- came alarmed at the latters condition, which he reported to Mr. McGeever. MI. McGeever immediately went to the room and found Brennan dead.
 MT. Brennan came to Birmingham from Atlanta in 1883, since which time he has resided here. He was a native of Ireland. He had no family and but one brother, who resides in Atlanta.
 The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3:3O o'clock from the residence of Hugh McGeever in Elyton.
 Another Case
 Joe Grady, a miner who came to the city from Newcasle yesterday, suffered a sun stroke about o'clock yesterday afternoon. He fell in the stair way leading to the second floor at 20121A First avenue. Dr. J. c. LeGrande was summoned and attended Grady, who was taken to Newman's drug store a few doors from where he had fall- en- Those who know Grady say that on a former occasion while working in the mine at Henry Ellen he suffered similar stroke which he attributed to heart trou- ble.
 While yesterday was very warm the ther- mometer did not go as high as it has gone on other days when no casualties were re- ported, and at the time that Grady was overcome the temperature had fallen sev- eral degrees and a very cooling breeze was also blowing.
