HORRIBLE FIRE FIGHT
ON BURNING TRANSPORT.

San Francisco, Feb. IA fire broke
out late last night in the hold Of the
transport, Meade, lying at the Folsom
street wharf. The fire ragged for hours
despite the efforts of the fire depart
ment. Fully twenty men were over
come by the fumes, and at least three
were injured fatally. The dead are:
Third officer, George Walle, of the
Meade; B. Hennessey, lineman of en-
gne No. 4, and Captain Chas. Daldn,
of No. 4. Three men are missing and
are supposed to be dead or uncon-
scious in the hold. The Meade was to
have sailed for Manila today with
1000 men. The cause of the fire is
unkonwn and it is impossible yet to
estimate the extent OF the damage
done.
Deeds of Thrilling heroism.
The missing firemen are Charles
Gill, George Brown and w. Reagan.
Deeds of thrilling heroism marked the
fire. Sailing Master George Wilson
fell down the hatchway and was Grip
pied. He was unconscious when Chief
Officer Lassak and other bore him out
of the pit of death. Subsequently
Lassak himself was rescued from
death by Fireman Joseph Cook and
an unknown man. The fear of an ex-
plosion did not deter the firemen,
though they knew there was a large
quantity of explosives on board. Cap
tain Dakin lost his life because of his
unflinching resolution and dauntless
courage in fighting the fire. Acting
Chief Sullivan saved many lives by
opening a hatch and letting long
ladder down into the hold. When the
fire was first discovered, shortly be-
fore midnight, the first hold was chok-
ed with smoke. The cargo apparently
had been slowly burning for hours
1t required the united efforts of many
engine companies, aided by fire tugs
10 subdue the fire.

DOUGLAS B|sBEE| |A BIG DONATION
Shelter City Team Meets the Home Aggregation Today
 at Don Luis Park.

At 2:30 this afternoon the best team that Douglas can send will meet the Bisbee team cn the grounds of the latter at Don Luis A great game is looked forward to by the local fans who are with the home team 10 a man.
 When Douglas and Bisbee played in the early part of the season Bis bee went down to defeat at the hands of the furnace men. There is noth- ing in the minds of the local aggre- gation today but a prospevtive vic tory, but be that as it may, the game 1 should be a closely contested one. Both teams are in the best of condi- ton. Douglas has been pracCicing | hard for the game, while Bisbee's men have not only been out for prac- I tice every day this week, but have the 1 advantage of two games with the strong Cananea team since meeting | the sulphur smoke eaters. Bohnscadt will be in the box for Bisbee. It is not known who will be ! iIi the points for the visitors.
 
 ! that since consolidation fell through 1 it. is not impossible that some of the best men from Lowell may appear in | Bisbee uniforms today. If that Is the case Bisbee will present Q formidable front 10 her opponents. The uncertainty of future dates with visiting teams makes the game Of today particularly interesting. to To- cal fans, it being feared that todays game and that with Cananea on Memorial Day may be the last for the present at least
 Manager Dan Angius stated last night that there vii! be plenty of money here from Douglas to bet on the visitors. while it is well known that Bisbee will never allow all of ir to go begging.

Calumet 6 Arizona Adds $500 to Cemetery improvement
 Fund.

Members of the Evergreen ceDle- tery committee yesterday received Of ficial notice frcm the Calumet G Ari- zona Company that t has deciGe1 10 donate $500 toward the improvements that are proposed at the graveyard.
 This sum, in conjunction with 5000 that was donated a short time ago by the Copper Queen Company, makes $500 that the committee now has in it's hands, The committee desires to raise S3000 altogether to carry out the Improvements it has planned.
 Colonel W. C. Greene's gift is the largest that has yet been made by any individual in Arizona for cause of this kind. He has agreed to fence the burial ground, a. an expense of S5O00
 It has been decided by the commit tee to lay pipe line from the vicin- ity of Brophy's barn at Lowell, where the water for the Pittsburg X Duluth will be taken. and used for purposes of irrigation. The mining company has generously given the water.
 Another change it is proposed 10 make is to put the sexton on salary for the reason that it is believed bet ter results will ba obtaiI5ed. nder present conditions the sexton must look to individuals for his pay.

Would Meet Bowman in Match Free From Purse, Setting
 and Graft.
NAMES FlREMEN'S
 DANCE AS TIME.
Offer to Enter Contest to Test Finally Supremacy of Men Who Waged Unsatisfactory Battle Recently,

Roy Raison, the defeated wrestler of the match between Waiter Bowman and himself, when those two boys met on the mat here on the night of May Is, is out with a novel challenge whereby he proposes to wrestle Bow nan flor the fun of the thing" and just to demonstrate that he is no joker, Raison names the night of the proposed fireman's dance as the time and the. opera house as the place he intends to make monkey out of the local gambler.
 Raison has evidently been rlminat- ing within himself on the folly of "fxin'" things, and hopes to clear the smut from his athletic horizon by literally wiping of the earth the local aspirant to Graeco-Roman honors.
 While Raison claims that he did not throw the match with Bowman, he intimates that he lost, after being robbed by the referees decision, be cause of the fact that he was crippled by being bitten by Bowman.
 The "sport-loving" public of Bis5ee will no doubt await with bated breath the. outcome of the barber's challenge. Hs it is:
 Bwing to the fact that our last wrestling match caused a great deal of dissatisfaction on both sides, wish to challenge Waiter Bowman for an other match.
 Knowing as I do that there would be no use to try to get the pubic to attend another match after the scandal of the last one, l will make proposi tion that Bowman cannot refuse if he is a true sport and wishes to hold the special weight championship, which he won by foul. There can be nt glory in the victory for him, as there are some people-eyen his friends who are foolish enough to think threw the match to him.
 Now, don't wish to croak afte1 | being beaten, nor 1 don't blame Bow man for taking the match, when Lh referee gave it to him, but l do clain l I should have had the match whel { he fouled me, and that was not dow | the third fall.
 ''Now to set myself right with th' clean sport-loying people of Bisbe'
 and to show them that l am not tIyIn | to graft them, will wrestle Bowna at the firemen's benefit dance to b

Judge Morrison's Unique Meth cd of Preserving Dignity
 Of Court,
CAPTURES, TRIES
 AND COLLECTS FINE.
Studying Blackstone, When a Mexican Attempted to Shoot Up Classic City, Which
 Caused Court to Take Field.

Justice James Morrison, judge, con stable. witness. and jury. in most crim- inal cases in Fairbank. set an example for his fellow justices in the Terri tory this week as to how to effectually restore peace and quiet in town, according to a tale told by travel ing man at the Copper Queen last even ing.
 Judge Morrison, notwithstanding his many official capacities, has just as much dignity and decorum in his court as any other justice. The judge is very difinified, and his legal lore sits well on his countenance.
 The judge was seated in his sane tum on the evening of the disturb arce looking over the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States regarding neighbours cats and the noises they make, endeavoring 10 secure light to untangle a female feud which is shaking Fairbank society to the bottom, and threatening to result in two squads of the Four Hundred in that town.
 His study and research was inter rupted by the crack of pistol. With keen intuition, the judge scented trouble. He forthwith buckled on hs artillery and proceeded down the street. He had gone but block when he came upon Ramon Escudero, who was shooting air holes through window panes.
 The Mexican turned to the judge as a target and continued to blaze away The judge immediately held the shooter in contempt for bad marks manship and with a word not recog nized on the bench. let fly at the Mex jeans foot. The shot went home and the Mexican. with Q howl of pain threw away his gun and threw up nlS hands.
 Judge Morrison then placed him un der arrest and after a preliminary hearing, bound him over to await the action of the grand jury for indiscrlm mate shooting, which is to say tne least not in good form in Falrbank.

WAGER OF BATTLE.
The First Duels Are Said to Have

The First Due1s Are Said to Have

The first duels were fought in Italy,
according to Millingen, who speaks OF

describes duel between father and
a son in the reign Of the Emperor The
odoric. When Charlemagne forbade

he encountered the f1ercest opposition
from the mobiles. Early In the ninth
century De Medicis, a knight defeated

battle in 9SS. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept 1t. The
Normans showed less gallantry. With
them woman had to accept. nor could
she name a champion. Her male OPP
ponent, however, was buried to his
waist In the earth. Armed with q
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him. his weapon being a
ball of iron at the end of cord. II be

meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason SO
many duels were fought in Italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re-
spect Of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity Of Italian duels
passes belief. ANY way of putting an
enemy to death cogni modo) Is good
enough" says one Of their writers.

Prelate's Chances
OTHERS WERE INTRIGUING
Influence Of Prominent People Exerted
In Behalf of Ireland-cathoIic Editor
Says His Chances of Ever Wearing
Red Hat Are Destroyed walsh
crtcises Both tho storers.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Aside from
Mr.. and Mrs Bellamy Storer, Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the victim of their
quarrel, Archbishop Ireland, probably
no person in America has been in a
position to know more of the inside
history of the controversy over the
red hat than DR.. Michael Walsh, for
merly editor of the Catholic Herald.
DR.. Walsh says that at best, Mrs.
Storer's intervention was ill-advised.
He admits that he had much cores
pondence with Rome relative to the
bestowal Of red hat on another Am
erican prelate, and that, while editor OF
the Catholic Herald, Mgr. Rampolla
cardinal secretary of state under Pope
Leo XIII, informed him that the Vat
lean was favorable to Archbishop Ire
lands claim to the honor. Had Pope
Leo lived" said DR.. Walsh, Arch
bishop Ireland would have been a car
dinal long before now"
The public seems to have gained the
impression, in DR.. Walshs opinion, that
the Storer's were the only persons pro-
noting the interests of the archbishop
of st. Paul. He explained that this was
a mistake; that not only was President
Mckinley openly admitted to the sup
port of the archbishop, SO far as he
could be in his official capacity, but
practically every republican politician
admired Mgr Ireland and desired to
see him rewarded. Especially was this
true OF Mark Hanna.
DR.. Walsh said he could see no other
result of the Storer affair than the de-
struction Of Mgr. Ireland's chances
ever to wear the red hat. He believed
the honor will go to the archbishop Of
New Orleans.
'sThe ambition Of Mrs Storer to d.
rect the affairs Of the Catholic church
is not unlike that of other converts to
the faith" said DR.. Walsh. land the
results often have been harmful to the
church and woefully disappointing to
the proselyte.'

in hot water. It destroys color in wet

to be due to its power Of decomposing

oxidizes coloring matter, rendering It
colorless. As 4 disinfectant It oxidizes
