Hemorrhaae.

William Il. Sampson, retired. died at
his home in this city at ) o'clock yes

conscious state for several days.
Admiral Sampson had not been a
well man since the close of the Span
ish war. A serious brain trouble which
bnftied the efforts of the best medical
talent, slowly but surely sapped his
vitality until few days ago when he
lapsed into Inconsistencies, and the
end came yesterday.
At the bedside when the admiral
brea thed his last We're Mrs. Sampson,
Mrs. Lieutenant Cluverius, the admir-
ais married daughter; Admiral Samp-
sons two young SONS. Ralph and Har-
old Sampson; DIR. Dixon, the attending
physician, and nurse and attendants
Mrs. Sampson has broken down I'M
der the severe strain, and was quite Ill
during the day. But for the critical
condition of the admiral she would
have been confined to her bed.

WAS TO Be VICTIM
OF JOB, SAYS ERNB
Why the Philadelphia Mill
Did Not Come Off.
Scheme Was on Foot to Adminiater
the "DOuble Cross" the Light
Weight Champion Declares.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE failure of
Frank Erne, of Buffalo. to meet Joe Cans,
of Baltimore, at the Penn Athletic Club,
of Philadelphia, on Monday night was
widely discussed by local ring followers
today. Erne was in town all day, and
said he learned Of job to do him, and
that he simply refused to be victimized.
Men who say they know the inside of
this fiasco were talking freely at various
sporting resorts tonight. They said that
Erne was advised of a scheme to double
cross him, and that he left Philadelphia
as soon as he was convinced that all was
not right
Had Made an Agreement.
As a matter of fact, when Erne and
Cans made this match for six rounds they
saw that there would be big gate money
in it, and they agreed to split the money
in equal parts. AS Erne had not had SUI
ficient time in which to prepare him
self for the mill, Cans, it is said. agreed
to post $1,000 as a guarantee that he
would not attempt to knock the Buffalo
boxer out.
Cans, who has been in strict training
for several months. is in superb condition
just now, so that HEREFORD saw a chance
to win the lightweight championship for
his man by catching Erne unawares.
A Tip Given Out.
Accordingly the good thing" was whis--
pered along Broadway on Monday, those
who knew what was coming Offering $50
to $3.50 that Cans would win. AS there
was no referees decision to be looked
for, those who wanted to back Cans were
accused of knowing something" Erne
and his friends got wind of the deal, and
when certain sporting man told Erne
that Herford was trying to bet s. 900 on
Cans. the Buffalo boxer became sus-
picious.
Refused to Post Forfeit.
When he got to Philadelphia Monday
he asked Cans to put up his 81 900 for
felt. In behalf of the latter, HEREFORD re-
fused to post more than 500, which was
proof, in Erne's estimation, that if he got
into the ring he would be double
crossed
So Erne packed up his grip and came
back to this city. still the technical light
weight champion.
