JACK JOHNSON TO FIGHT.

The big champion, Jack Johnson,
has signed articles to fight two men
in the near future, one being AL Pal
ger and the other Joe Jeanette, the
big clever Negro boxer who sets q
pace for the best in the business, and
it is rumored that Jack will clean up
something like cool 100000 for both
fights. Well, there is one thing GER
tain, and that is this, Jack Johnson
has proved to the world that he has
more good common sense than he has
ever been credited with. His money
making powers have been greater
than any prizefighter the world has
ever known. And on whole he has
as much business and more than any
other Negro boxer has ever had. So
Jack is not so dense after all.

SCHOONER SWAMPED.

The owner of the schooner Caro-
line H. Mears, w. a. Rose, of Amber,
Va, will make a claim against the
government for the loss of his YES
sci. The schooner, it is stated, was
living at anchor in the range of the
guns being tested at Indian Head,
and one Of the big navy yard tugs
went to her and the officer in charge
told the captain he would have to
move the vessel. Taking her tow line
the tug started up the river with the
schooner and the wash from the pro-
peller and the rapid rate at which
she was pulled through the water ca1s
ed her to spring leak and to fill. Tie
crew of the vessel, with the wife of
the master, got into small boat and
landed at Indian Head. The schooner
is said to be in bad condition and 1t
does not look as if it can be saved.
Drifting with the tide the vessel has
gone into the cut channel into Malta
woman Creek, greatly interfering
with the vessels of any draft going
in and out of that waterway.
