A Goldffeld Syndicate Wants Burns
and johnson to Meet.

Goldfeld, New, May 9.-Jack Cur
ley of Chicago has organized a new
fighting syndicate here, and imme-
date efforts will be made to secure
the Tommy Burns-Jack Johnson fight
for the worlds championship in this
city. A purse Of $4,000 will be offer
ed the men for a finish contest, or
one of forty-f1ve rounds, as suits them.
Labor day afternoon is the time Sc
lected by the syndicate.
This offer will be cabled the fight
ers, and, as both of them are now in
London, it is probable they may
reach some agreement regarding the
offer. The members of the syndicate
are not as yet ready to discuss fully
their plans, but have gone far enough
with the scheme to make it known
that they have cabled the fighters.
Jack Curley came here about two
weeks ago from Chicago, and organ
| lied the syndicate, and secured guar
antees that the money will be placed
| in the bank awaiting the disposition
of the fighters.

DANA TIRED OF 1T.
Judge Often Imposed Upon Through
Family Rows.

Judge Dana declared yesterday in
district court that he had about con-
cluded to make it a castiron rule never
again to sign a restraining order in
divorce case or family row. He de-
clared that the lawyers for either par
ty to the suit had the bad habit of
drawing up the most alarming petitions
in which it was alleged that their eli
ent was in danger of his or her life
from the efforts of the partner of their
Joys and sorrows and by this means
get the court to sign a restraining or
der forbidding the premises to the said
loving wife or husband, as the case
might be, and then would come the
other party into court by attorney and
show that there was no ground at all
for such harsh measures. The judges
ire had been aroused in this matter
over the order secured from him re-
straining Alexander Willis, an old ne
gro who is being sued by his wife for
divorce, from entering his home. The
wife alleged in her petition that she
was in danger of her life from the
threats and hostile actions Of her hus-
hand. The old man had to sleep in his
harm and go hungry Thursday night.
He appeared in court Friday by attor-
new and showed that he had never at
tempted violence against his wife and
her children who are now holding the
live at 1855 Lane street and are over
90 wears old. Judge Dana said that he
uas convinced that in no case was 1t
iustifiable to bar either husband or
wife from their home during the pro-
cess of q divorce case or any family
trouble I'm not one case In thou
sand is such harsh measure neces-
sary' he said, land I will withdraw
the restraining order against this old
man.

BLIND AND SEVENTY.
Father-in-Law of Howard Gould Dies
in an Asylum.

Chicago. May "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Jacksonville, ILL.,, says:
Seldom p. Clemmons died here yes
terday at Central insane hospital. He
was 70 years Of age, and was blind
He was the father of Kathryn Glenn
mons Gould, wife Of Howard Gould,
and was brought to the hospital on
March from his home in Milton, Ill.
His death was due indirectly to a
stroke of paralysis suffered few
years ago.
According to the testimony at the
time Mr.. Clemmons was admitted to
the asylum, his first wife was a
daughter of Colonel Thomas M. Kirk
patrick, whose home was in Winches-
ter. Ohio. They had two children,
Ella and Kathryn. Clemmons secured
divorce and the mother and two
girls left for California after the elder
Ella, had married and left Charles
Watts of Milton. On the coast the
elder girl took up slum work and sew
eral years later married a Chinaman
Kathryn, the younger girl, went on
the stage and several years later
married Howard Gould.
Clemmons did not hear often from
his daughters, and this is believed to
have weighed on his mind and has
tened his death.

SECURITIES ARE HIGHER.
Abundance of Money Serves to In
fuence the Market.

New York, May 9.-Prices of Sc
curities have worked to higher level
during the week with occasional re-
actions. Evidence indicates that great
banking and financial interests have
continued to exercise benevolent
control of the market. Unimpaired
abundance of money resources has
furthered the plans of the advocates
of higher prices and the placing of
new securities on more advantageous
terms The enormous over-subscrip-
ton of the Pennsylvania bond issue
and the declining interest basis on
which New York city revenue bonds
were sold were regarded as proof of
the substantial increase in capital
available for investment. The prom
