The arrest was made In the presence of Delaney's wife, who was In bed. The wife comes from a good family in Baltimore and did not know that he was wanted by the police until the detectives broke in their bed room.
 The couple were married in January. She had always believed him to be uaveling man. According to the police. Delaney and his wife left Baltimore on a trip which she supposed was for busl- ness. The detectives located them at the Hanover.

Having been foled at every turn Delaney gave up and according to the detectives said he would have made his escape If he could have reached any of the six weapons, even though he had to kill both of them.
 Mrs. Delaney, dumbfounded at the whole proceedings, almost went into hys- terics from surprise and fear.
 Among Delaneys personal effects were found chloroform and a sponge, a silk bag which the detectives say Is pattern ed after the kind used by sand bagging highwaymen, two pieces of rope, a chisel and razor.
 Delaney at one time said he was confi- dential agent of Chris Vonderhae of St. Louis.

DECEMBER DATE
YET UNTITLED

The fight fans are still waiting for
the Yosemite Club to discover some
likely young man worthy of a set-to
with j. Edward Britt for the December
date of the club. Manager James Cof-
froth finds the role of a discoverer a
difficult one to play. Light and feather
weight pugilists who have the reputa-
tion of giving the public a run for its
money do not lurk in every hamlet,
so it can readily be seen Mr.. Coffroth
will be forced to resort to some allur-
ing bait in order to capture the lad who
will make the fighting Britt extend
himself.
The winner of the Corbett- Nelson
bout still looks rather good to Coffroth.
He would like to see Corbett triumph
over the battling marvel from Illinois,
for he figures that If Corbett can win
decisively the latter will again be re-
stored to the good graces of the San
Francisco public and, with added con-
fidence would give Mr.. Britt good
time for fair portion of twenty rounds
at least.
IF Nelson wins" said Coffroth, "he
would not make such a good drawing
card as Corbett for the simple reason
be a long drawn out one and the spec
tacular end Of IL would be lacking. On
the other hand, should Corbett knock
his man out in decisive manner, he
would show the knowing ones he Is still
there and then a second meeting with
Britt would prove battle Of the first
water"
Coffroth would also like to see Jimmy
Gardner in the ring with Britt, but so
far he has been unable to get any kind
of a satisfactory line on the Lowell
wonder. 1t looks as though Coffroth
will hold out till after the CorbettNel-
son mixup and take a chance with
matching the victor against Britt. The
victor will in all probability be badly
punished-nearly as much so as the
vanquished, and therefore may not be
quite fit to enter the ring within a
couple of weeks.
Corbett is faithfully Kidding himself
of several pounds of superfluous flesh at
his training quarters. He weighs 1877
pounds and still looks like a miniature
heavyweight. He is doing more real
hard work for this fight than he has
performed for any other encounter in
this city. If he keeps up the pace he
should enter the ring on the 18th fit
and ready for the best man of his
weight in the world.
Teddy Murphy. manager of Nelson,
announces that he will have a goodly
wager down on his man when he
clashes with the Denverite. Murphy fig
ures that the betting will be about 10 to
Z, and says he will place a couple of
thousand of his own coin on the Nor
wegian. He also expects to act as a
betting commissioner for several we'll
known Eastern sporting men who like
Nelson's chances. A few wagers have
been made at odds of 10 to in Cor
belts favor.
Nelson is practically in condition for
the fight at the present time He weighs
about 134 pounds and can take off the
few extra ones in short order. He is
doing the best he can in the condition
line over at Larkspur and it goes with
cut saying he will be in perfect form
when the time rolls round.

TRANSPORTATION CLUB

Railway Men Formally Open Their
Future Home I'm the Palace
Hotel

The new quarters of the Transporta-
ton Club on the ground floor of the
Palace Hotel, formerly occupied by
the Union League Club, were thrown
open to the members last night. About
200 persons attended the opening and
were loud in their praise of the work
accomplished by the house committee
in making the clubs new home one of
the handsomest in this city. After
the members had been welcomed and
given an opportunity to inspect the
premises President George J. Brad
ley called them together in the re-
ception-room and addressed them
upon the great progress made by the
organization during it's few months
existence and proudly announced that
notwithstanding the heavy expense
that/had been incurs~d it was free
from debt and enjoyed a rapidly in
'creasing membership roll.
At the conclusion of President
Bradley's remarks the members spent
several hours enjoying the entertain
ment provided for them by talented
members of the club. Refreshments
were also served in the elegantly
equipped dining-room, where the
members will hereafter meet at noon
to discuss railroad matters over a
club luncheon.
The clubs new rooms have been en-
tirely renovated and refurnished on
an elaborate scale and have been pro-
nounced by many who have inspected
them to be the most attractive of
their kind in San Francisco.
