MADDEN TALKS SOME.


 Billy Madden thinks that if there is one heavyweight in the ring just now eligible to meet Jim Jeffries that mah is Gus Ruhlin, and consequently Madden yesterday issued challenge on behalf of the Akron Giant to fight the champion. In letter Madden says:
 "Ruhlin will fight Jeffries, winner take all. so you can understand that we are not bluffing. If Jeffries does nSt accept Gus will fialH HAh& AsAaaief of the Johnson-Hart battle. Johnson should win, as he is the speedier of the two. Billy Delaney is too wise to let Jeff take a chance with Johnson. It's not the color, as Jeffries has been mixed up with several blacks during his career. It has been stated that Hart beat Ruhlin. This is not SO. The men boxed twelve round draw in Baltimore on May 20 last and Ruh- lin gave Hart such a beating that the police wanted to stop the unequal contest. Jeffries should fight Ruhlin, as Gus has proved himself the best white man now before the public.'

THE JIU JITSU EXPERTS.

Although England has had jiu jtsu wrestling for several years, this, par ticular style of Japanese wrestling seems to be more popular than ever in that country. Whenever match at this style takes place thousands of persons attend the bout. and there is more excitement and interest over the struggles than is displayed at some of the important boxing affairs. For a year or so YukiO Tani was considered the best jiu jitsu expert in England About two months ago another Jap named Taro Miyaki made his appear ance in London, and by his skill and power soon aroused a lot of attention. The other night Tani and Miyaki met and the latter won. The match drew nearly seven thousand persons. and much betting took place. Tani did not lose in the orthodox jiu jitsu fash ion by means of a lock or hold. but his defeat was decisive just the same He lost by receiving heavy fall. striking his head outside the mat, during the preliminary stages of the match. This so stunned him that for the remain ing five minutes of the match he wrestled in semi-conscious condi- ton.
 Tani has asked for return bout. and in all probability will get it. Mi yaki. following his victory. got an en- gagement at one of the London music halls and showed his form by beating five of the best catch-as- -catch-can wrestlers in England on the same day. The Jap first tackled Frank Long of Islington. and after sharp bout threw him in minute u seconds. George Foster of Holloway came next and he lasted only minutes ] sec onds. Bert North then tried copcIu- sions. and he was defeated in s mip- utes seconds. J. Dang followed and an arm lock caused his retirement fin 3 minutes 10 seconds. The last one tO face Miyaki was Joe Carroll. tbe champion middleweight of England. and he was beaten in s minutes 10 seconds. Miyaki. who is light weight. says that he is coming to America in a few weeks ready to meet any one his weight in the business. George Bothner preferred.

BOSTON AMERICANS WON.

Macon. Ga.. March 29.-Only ono hour and forty minutes was needed for the Boston Americans to defeat the Maconians Monday afternoon to the tune of 4 too.
 It was done so neatly and with such precision that the roOters hardly had a chance to see what was going on. The Bostonians put up the finest exhioition of the national sport ever seen in this city.
 Tannehill and Gibson are greatly re- sponsible for the outcome of the con. test although they had gilt-edge sup port all through. Their pitching was superb and at all times they were a perfect enigma to the highlanders. let tiny them down with but a trio of binglets. with a total of four bases.
 This being the last game of the champs here this season Jimmy bull dled up his pets and at 12:30 that night they pulled out for Savannah and other southern points.

Changing the Trolley Track.

The Danville and Bloomsbury Street
Railway Company Yesterday put 8
force of twenty Italians at work
changing the location of the trolley
track at the undergrade crossing at the
P. S R. Railway in this city.
Yesterday was spent in exoavsting
for the track in it's new position, which
required considerable amount Of
work. The track.will lie along the
Western side of the nndergrade oross-
ing some five feet away from it's pres
ent location. The sharp curve, which
at present hinders the progress OF the
cars at that point will be eliminated.
The track Will lie little lower, too.
at the Southern end where good deal
of grading will be required in the road
way for vehicles. as we'll as on the
trolley track.
As soon as the street railway is lift
ed over the driveway will be open to
it's full width, although it is doubtful
whether vehicles will be permitted to
use 1t until the grading IS completed,
which should be in the course of q
very few days.
The street railway company now
proposes to enter upon the general re-
pairs needed on A street to place 1t in
as good condition as it was in before
it was cut down to abolish the steep
grade. great deal of work will be
involved in the erection Of the long
retaining walls required to protect on
one side the property of Aaron Rocka-
Teller and on the other that of the
Grove Presbyterian Charch. Several
other property owners are affected but
not to the same extent as the two
above named. The Borough Surveyor
the other day gave the lines for the
two retaining walls and work is like
ly to begin at any day.

REQUIRE A
90 POUND RAIL

The Borough Council held special
meeting last night to take action on
some matters pertaining to the Dan
Vile and Sunbury Street Railway
Company. which is about beginning
work on its line in the Borough.
During yesterday the trolley COM
psny began the unloading of rails along
East Market street preparatory to be-
ginning construction of its line TO the
Hospital for the Insane. 1t was ex-
planned in Council that the Borough
has decided to pave East Market street
that even at the present time the
property owners are circulating q petit
tion asking Council to proceed with
the work. The rails U loaded for the
trolley track. it was discovered yester-
day, are only Al inches high and are
known as the sixty pound rail-a size
altogether too small to be used in con-
nection with street paving. 1t was the
sense OF the members that the rails
should be replaced with larger ones.

that the trolley company might be put

be notified to put down ninety pound

.SIDEW RAILING
FIRMLY BRACED

That the new river bridge may be
given all possible durability and
strength as becomes a structure of so
much beauty and of such massive pro.
portions feature is being added that
is not revealed in the plans, but fol-
lows as an afterthought. This is "a
brace neatly adjusted at every post OF
the sidewalk to render the latter more
firm
There are probably few persons who
in walking along the sidewalks have
not noticed that the railing seemed in
secure. While it was firmly bolted at
the bottom to the long angle lion
forming the stringers at the outside of
the walk yet it easily yielded when
the hand was laid firmly upon it and
it required only little effort to set
it in violent motion swinging inward
and outward The iron stringer to
which it was bolted partook of the
motion and while it was not at all
likely that enough force could have
been applied to break down or inJure
the railing yet it was regarded by
some persons as the single defect ex-
listing in the bridge.
In view of all the facts the con-
tractors some time ago set about de.
vising means for strengthening the
railing. They were not long in hitting
upon a practical plan, which accom-
plishes the object without acting in
any way as an obstacle to pedestrians.
At each post of the railing an iron
brace some eighteen inches in length
is inserted under the floor connecting
the angle iron that the post rests upon
with the angle iron forming the brack-
ct that supports the sidewalk. Expert
work men yesterday were engaged in
bracing up the railing which is rather
a slow and tedious process, as wherever
a brace is installed it is necessary to
drill hole through the heavy angle
iron underneath by hand. The result,
however, is all that could be desired
The posts are made perfectly firm and
tight and no matter how much force
is applied the railing can not be set in
motion by the hand as was the case
before it was braced.
