Four Callmen Were Asked to Account
 for absence from Fires.

| f { Tbe board of public safety. was shocked last evening when Clerk Net uetOn read communication from an enterprising manufacturer of all kinds or wagons suggesting that the city buy hearse as well as police am. bulance.

 His Honor the Mayor:
 Dear Sir:--We have been informed that your city was in the market for n patrol wagon, and as we are just
 completing one for our own city,
 would be pleased to talk with your committee in regard to the matter before placing their order, also have
 the pleasure of showing them the one
 just finishing for New Bedford. It ia
 small light patrol with top, and
 just what all cities have been looking for in place of the large heavy wa
 gons that are load in themselves. This one you will find is well worthy
 of inspection and am confident would
 please you. Our work is not q stranger in Waterbury, as we have
 sold practically every undertaken
 there either fhearse or undertakers' wagon, and this comes right in the
 same line of work. Trusting you will favor us with a reply and an opportu- n1ty to show Our work, and thanking ing you in advance, remain, Yours truly.

EARL OF NANTUCKET.

1 '.The Earl of Pawtucket,'' which ! was played at Polls last evening is deserving of all the good things which the Metropolitan press have said about l it. This could hardly be otherwise, | the play having been written by Ail- gustus Thomas. The entire action Of the piece takes place i'll the Waldorfs
 Astoria and portrays the difficulties an English noblemane involves himself in l in his wooing of an American girl.
 Frank Monroe played the title role and played it we'll. 1t is doubtful if it
 could be done better, He meets the
 divorced wife of his friend Montgom- cry Putnam in Paris, but does not be-

 plot is cleared up in the third act. The

rush like that of a mad bull. Corbett
put left on the face and avoided re-
turn. jeff leaned heavily on Corbett
and clinched. Corbett seemed as strong
as ever and there was a long series of
clinches. Corbett put three rights on
the body at close quarters. He hooked
jeff on the jaw three times with his
left and crossed with the right He
blocked Jeff's efforts and at close quar-
ters put three rights on the body and
one on the jaw. He repeatedly stabbed
jeff on the mouth with lefts. Corbett's
left cheek showed lump from one of
Jeff's close arm blows. JEFF had a sim
liar mark. jeff hooked left to the
body and the referee had trouble in
separating them. At the close Corbett
stabbed Jeff's mouth with his left three
times, but they We're weak efforts.
Round 10.-Jeffries stood straight up
and came after his man without hesi-
tation. Corbett seemed to be making g
waiting fight. They exchanged lefts to
the face and Jeff made a vicious
effort. Jeffries sent a left hook to the
stomach and Corbett went down for
nine seconds. He got UP and received
left in the stomach and right on the
jaw. He went down and after the
count of seven Tommy Ryan threw up
the sponge. Corbett was suffering pain
and chair was brought for him. After
a minutes rest he recovered and got up
and shook hands with Jeffries.

JEFFRIES WINS.
Continued from page ~

game. I must say, however, that Cor
bett put up a better fight than j
thought he would. His punches had
no steam and when they did land
which was not often, they did not hurt
me. At no time was l distressed and |
felt confident of winning from the
first. l would have put him out in the
fourth if my glove had not burst. The
half-minute's delay to repair the glove
did Corbett a world of good and he was
able to continue the contest though he
knew l was his master and lost his old
time confidence. 1 fought harder with
my trainers during the conditioning
season than I did with Corbett and 1
entered the ring. I have no plans for
the future Those matters are left to
my manager and my trainer.
Corbett said after the fight: Il did
my best and lost. / fought the best I
knew. Jeffries was too big for me and
he is the best man in the world. If the
public is satisfied with my fight I am
glad to give Jeffries all the credit that
is his due. I have no personal feelings
in the matter. l have fought my last
fight
Corbett received many kilograms
from Eastern friends, principally the
atrical, Offering him lucrative engage
ments, win or lose.
About the ring were many celebrities
that have graced every pugilistic en-
counter during the last decade. The
features of "Parson" Davies were
prominent along with the veteran ref
cree, Gorge Siler, Sandy Griswold of
Harry Thaw, the Pittsburg millionaire,
and scores of others.
over on the south side of the arena
more than 400 Jeffries admirers from
Los Angeles, the home of Jeffries, sat
4 in a group. Official San Francisco
was largely represented. Bench and
bar, council and supervisors, in fact,
every branch of the city administra-
ton were at the ringside.
There was less trouble in handling
the big crowd than has been expert
enced on similar occasions.
Two preliminaries, the first a six
round draw between Frank Smith of
Los Angeles, and Jack Sheridan of San
Rafael. and another of like length be-
tween Jack Evans and Jerry Fair
banks. kept the crowd interested till
the hour of 9.15 P. NJ, the time for the
big men to enter the scene, had ar
rived.
The ring looked large compared with
the enclosures heretofore in this city.
Pursuance of an understanding with
the big fighters, it was made the regu-
lation 24-foot ring. Heretofore 2O-foot
rings have been the rule. 1t was a
splendidly constructed affair. Above
the ring at a height of ~ feet were
suspended eight large arc lights, shaded
in such a manner as to throw the
greatest light straight down on the
men.
At o'clock, the betting at Harry
Corbett's resort was to l, with con-
siderable Corbett money in sight.
There was no big betting on the re-
suit. but some good wagers were placed
on rounds.
The favorite seemed to be even
money that Corbett would stay II
| rounds.
When the first preliminary was end
| ed all eyes were turned toward the en-
| trance of the dressing rooms of the
| principals.
At 1915 o'clock, the crowd arose en-
| masse as Champion Jeffries walked
down the long aisle and vauited
| through the ropes.

Speculation concerning the appointment

engrOssing topic of the Vatican. There
has been a suggestion that Cardinal Gotti
should be appointed to this post. 1t is
not believed, however that the sugges-
ton will prove acceptable to the Pope.
Others believe that the Pope is trying to
overcome the excessive modcsty of Cardi-
nal SatoIi in order to induce him to ac-
copt the position, while others still believe
that Plus y will end by confering the red
hat upon his intimate friend Mgr. Gale
gari. bishop of padua, and subsequently
nominating him as secretary of state.

cupyinE the apartment in which the late

for United States Senate,

Columbus, Ohio, August 14.-The
formal announcement Saturday night
by Representative H. c. CARRIER that
John w. Bookwalter would be can
didate for the democratic nomination
for United States senator makes the
program of the Johnson democrats
quite clear. Mayor Tom l.. Johnson
is the candidate for governor and Mr..
Bookwalter the candidate for senator.
Ex-Represcntative Lentz, who was
supposed to be Mayor Johnson's favor
lite for senator, is shouting for Book
walter. and in view of the turn things
have taken the visit of Bryan to
Springfield after the Urbana meeting
last week and the conference he had
with Bookwalter are easily UNDER
stood.
Bookwalter is a millionaire and is
supposed to be a large holder in har-
vester trust certificates His last APP
pearance in politics was in 1881, when
Charles Foster defeated him for gov
ernor of Ohio. That campaign is said
to have been the beginning of the use
money in a large way in politics In
Ohio Both candidates for governor
were rich, and they spent money freely.
Bookwalter so lavishly that he was
called by the republicans Pocket Book
Walter" Still he was defeated by
$4,000 plurality, which was large for
that time, and since then he has seemed
to taboo politics. But in Bryan and his
theories he took an interest, and re-
Gently wrote book called zone Hun
bred Years of Silver and presented
copies in large number to the state
committee for distribution. He has
spent much of his time lately in travel.
He is now seventy five years old. !.

stayed close in and put hard short
arm right on the body. They were ex-
ceedingly careful in the break. JEFF
forced his man across the ring and put
a left light on the body. 1t was noticed
that Corbett did very little foot work
but stayed close and put two right
solidly over the heart. Jeff missed q
right for the body but put in one on the
chest lightly. AS they broke Corbett
quickly stepped up and put a right tt
the heart. Jeff laughingly remarked
"Ah'. The first round indicated that
Jeff is very fast and that Corbett did
not do any fancy work.
