POLICE COURT.

A goodly number of offenders were ar rayed before Judge Feagin in the Inferior Criminal Court yesterday morning, to whom justice was meted out in the shape of fines and short terms of imprisonment
 Oscar Lindsay was fined $15 for petit lar ceny, and In case of his failure to pay the amount will expiate his offense by laboring in the streets for number of days.
 Will McPherson, who evidently consid- cred that his personal safety demanded that he should arm himself, was fined $50 for carrying concealed weapons.
 Charles Pearson possibly agreed with Will in the idea that he should provide means for self defense; so, not having the longed- for weapon nor the wherewithal to pur- chase one stole a pistol. The judge did not agree with Charley's plan of general armament so he imposed fine of $75.
 Mazzell Reid got $10 for vagrancy, inas- much as Mazzell had no house nor any vis- ible means of support. A home is now pro- vided at the city bastile, and three squares" day supplied for a certain amount of work on Mazzelrs part.

 LANKY BOB WILL
 CLAIM THE BELT Says Jefries Is Afraid to Fight
 Him. AND THE OTHER SIDE TALKS Brady Says Jeffries Will Fight Fitz- simmons Providing it is for the Entire Purse-Won't Agree
 to a Split
AND THE OTHER SIDE TALKS

New York; Aug. 16.-James J. Jeffries' re- fusal to meet the winner of the Sharkey- Fitzsimmons bout on August 31 has caused the Australian to issue a statement, in which he threatens to claim the champion ship by default if successful in his coming encounter In this statement Fitzsimmons says:
 T see that Jeffries has crawled out of the possibility of meeting me in the ring again. On Tuesday MT. Brady, waiting until Shar- key and myself were matched for August "A, challenged the winner to meet Jeffries August 31. I promptly accepted the oppor- tunty, providing I was fortunate enough to defeat Sharkey.
 'The matter was settled then and there This great champion of the world cannot devote a few days to training with the prospect of establishing beyond doubt his title to championship.
 "The truth of the matter is that Jeffries is afraid to meet me again. I have ac- cepted every offer he ever made for re- turn match, and yet he has made silly ex- cuses to get out of the match. I hereby give Jeffries notice that having accepted his challenge in the event of winning from Sharkey, I shall claim the championship of the world and believe the public will sustain my claim and recognize me as the real champion"
 When William A. Brady, the champions S manager, was shown Fitzsimmons state ment he made an announcement that may yet result in a match between Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. Brady said:
 Tt is customary for an aspirant to post a forfeit and issue a challenge as an act of good faith Of course, Fitzsimmons will have to defeat Sharkey, or we will not consider any match with him. Jeffries knocked him out once, and there is no reason why he should fight again with him. Jeffries, however, to show that he is the real champion, will fight Fitzsim- mons if he wins from the sailor but there is one condition that l shall insist upon, and that is the winner take the entire purse. He will not split the purse, as Fitzsmmons suggested to me the other day.
 Now if Fitzsimmons thinks he has such a good chance of defeating Jeffries, let him accept these conditions. He will then have an opportunity to battle for his lost laurels and incidentally small-sized
