phIa This Morning

Philadelphia. Dee 1O.-With a self-in-
hicted bullet wound through the head,
Lawyer Alonzo Il. Douglass was found
dead in a chair in his Office on the sixth
floor of the Baxter Building, No. lil4
South Penn Square, at 3 o'clock this
morning. Some time during the night he
had placed the muzzlc of a 3S-calibre re-
volyer in his mouth ana sent a bullet up
ward through his brain.
For fortnight Douglass had been
waiting To see somebody who never came.
Up till two weeks ago he had usually left
his Office at about o'clock in the after
noon. Then he started To remain every
evening until after 6 o'clock. because, as
he explained To several employees of the
building with whom he was familiar, that
he expected some one TO come 10 see him.
Possibly it was because of the failure of
this person to call that he killed himself.

her numbers, according to their charac-
ter. verve and fire. or tender singing
tone that showed her artistic instinct
and musical temperament Not the
least part of the immediate favor with
which she was received by the audience
was due to the altogether charming
picture that she presented and the mod
est and unassuming manner in which she
received the applause.
Pr0ba DIV the most appreciated VI hSA
selections were the second. and most char
acteristic movement of the Sonata, the

EXPECT A GREAT FIGHT.
Lovers of Ring Sport Looking For
ward to the Next Bout.

Poretto and Rice. featherweights, will
fight 25 rounds next Monday night at tine
Theater. The Austral Athletic Clubs
coming attraction promises to be a warm
one. The manager said yesterday THAI
ne believes in Poretto and Rice he has
made a match that will please the Savan-
nah patrons of the game.
Poretto, who has been in Savannah with
Maher. his trainer, for the past two
weeks. is a powerfully built little fellow,
and has impressed those who have seen
him very favorably. He has the reputa-
ton of being an awful puncher, with
liberal amount of cleverness, and fights
from gong to gong. There are several
in Savannah who saw Poretto fight In
Atlanta during the race meet there, and
they proclaim him a veritable whirlwind.
He beat two men in Atlanta recently. One
was Eddy Mack, who boxed Pete Mamie
here some months ago. Porebto disposed
Of him in short order. The other was
Rome. Ca, lad. whom the Atiantians
were very much enthused over, and
thought a conner. Although fifteen pounds
lighter Poretto had no trouble in knock
ing his championship aspirations to smith
Greens and sent him to the land of Nod
IN the second round. Poretto has never
been beaten and has a drawn battle in
his record with Harry Forbes of Chi
cago.
Fred Fox manager of Austin Rice.
wired the club yesterday that he and his
protege will leave New York for Savan-
nah on the Kansas City Thursday. Rice
is in fine shape. He knocked Andy Daiy
Of Boston out in the twelfth round of
what was to have been twenty-round
contest at Lawrence, Mass, on Dec. %.
DAILY was formerly McGovern's sparring
| partner.
Rice, although beaten two or three times
in his five and a half years of ring expert
ence. has not only never been knocked
out. but no one has ever been able to send
| him to the mat: McGovern beat him after
| fourteen hurricane rounds of lighting but
! failed to knock him down once. With two
such men as opponents, great battle
should be the result.

sNATCHED A MOMAN's PURSE.
Another HOId-up in the Southern
Section of the City.

The pocketbook snatcher appears to be
at large in the southern section of the
city, and another case of this class of rob-
berry occurred shortly after s o'clock last
night, on Abercorn street. between Gwin-
nett and Bottom streets Miss Foroka
was walking out Abercorn street when a
negro seized her purse and disappeared
in the darkness.
The lady SCREAMED, but a careful search
failed to disclose the thiefs hiding place.
The pocketbOok contained s. in cash and
some memoranda of no market value. The
robbery was reported at police headquar-
tiers and the city detectives were instruct
ed to investigate the case. A negro has
committed several similar robberies and
the officers will endeavor to run him to
cover, but with what degree of success
is not at all certain.
