DEATH OF BRADY
is kept SECRET
London Hotel Holds Up News,
Fearing Interference With
a Dancing Party.

London July 24.-The body of An
thony n. Brady, who died at the Carl
ton hotel Tuesday night, was sent
to Liverpool last evening. 1t will be
shipped to America on the Baltic,
which sails today. After lying several
hours in a private mortuary chapel
in Horseferry road in London, the
body was removed to the Catholic
chapel in Westminster, where nuns
watched over it.
After a certificate was granted set
ting forth that Mr.. Brady died of
angina pectoris, Consul General Crit
fiths and the vice consul general dis
patched the necessary formalities. The
body was embalmed and placed in a
lead coffin. Mr.. Brady's secretary,
Mr. Dahlstrom, will accompany the
body to America.
The officials Of the Carlton kept the
fact of Mr.. Bradys death a profound
secret and yesterday afternoon when
the news was communicated to several
of the financier's friends, they were
overcome with establishment.
The degree of secrecy exercised by
the Carlton management can be imag-
ined from the fact that A. B. Wise of
the American Tobacco company called
to see Mr.. Brady and was told that
he could not be seen.
Another friend who had an appoint.
ment to meet Mr.. Brady called at the
hotel and was informed that Mr.. Brady
was out, which was sadly true, as
the body had left the hotel several
hours before and was on its way to
Liverpool. The explanation of the
secrecy of the officials of the Carl
ton is that they were given strict in.

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR 4 MINE HAND
Slate Falls in New Property at
Gilchrist With Almost
Fatal Effect.

With three ribs broken from his
spinal column, and exhausted By pro-
fuse hemorrhage from severed tenn
poral artery, August HoltSman, tim
herman, was brought out of the Alden
Coal company's mine at New Gilchrist
Tuesday morning, after a narrow es-
cape from instant death under fall
of slate.
The accident occurred about $50
o'clock in the morning. Holtzman was
riding down an entry on the rear end
of a coal car, driven by a Slav mule
dr%er. The mule and the front end
of the car on which the driver sat
had passed before the fall of slate
occurred, and the heavy mass crashed
down on the rear of the car, partially
crushing Hoffman under its weight.
The driver gave the alarm and help
was speedily at hand. The prostratS
man was released from his perilous
predicament with great difficulty and
hurried to a place Of safety. A deep
scalp wound, severing the temporal
artery, caused profuse hemorrhage,
and the man had nearly bled to death
before a surgeon arrived. In addition
it was discovered that three of his
ribs had been driven from the back
bone.
The mans condition is serious, ow-
| ing to extreme weakness from loss of
blood, but it is believed that he has
| a chance of recovery.

JESSE R. GRANT BRINGS
AN ACTION FOR DIVORCE

Goldfield, New, July 24.-Jesse Root
Grant, youngest son of President
Grant. and whose brother is U. S.
Grant, whose second marriage took
place in San Diego last week, filed
suit for divorce in the District court
yesterday morning. Grant has resided
in Goldfield for over six months His
headquarters have been at the Gold
field hotel.
The complaint is brief document
and states that Jesse Grant and Eliza
beth Chapman Grant were married in
San Francisco Sept. 81, 1880; that
there are two children, son and a
daughter, both of legal age, and that
there is no community property. The
ground on which the divorce is asked
is simple desertion Mr. Grants daugh-
ter was recently married in San Fran
cisco to an officer of the navy.
In 1896 Mr.. Grant caused a sensa-
ton politically by forsaking the re-
publican ranks to become populist.
In explaining his reasons for the
change he said he felt debarred from
the republican party by reason of his
convictions both on the silver question
and on the government ownership of
telegraph lines and railroads, and that
he found the platform of the peoples
party came nearest to coinciding with
his own views.
In 1908 he was a prominent candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
the presidency.

Sullivan Never Worlds
Champion.
COttumwa Courier.)


The sporting department of the
Courier has received a communica-
ton asking how many years John L.
Sullivan held the worlds champion
ship and requesting the answer to be
published on the sporting page of the
Courier.
II will surprise a great many people
to learn that John L. Sullivan never
at any time in his career held the
worlds championship. Sullivan was
champion of America, but never was
champion OF any other country than
America. During Suliivan's time, or a
great part Of it, Peter Jackson, a COL
ored man, was champion of Australia.
As Sullivan drew the color line, he
never had a match with Jackson.
There was dispute between
Charlie Mitchell and Jem Smith as to
which was the champion of England.
They never fought it out. Richard K.
Fox, publisher Of the New York Police
Gazette, brought out Jake Kilrain
(whose right name is ]. j. Killion),
who challenged Sullivan. Sullivan
didn't choose 20 fight just when Fox
wanted him to, so Fox advertised that
he had given the American champion
ship TO Kilrain. However, as Fox
didn't own the championship, the
American public paid very little atten-
ton to Kilrain's claim on it. The peo-
pie couldn't understand how Fox
could give away something he didn' t
own. He did, however. send Kilrain
over to England to fight Jem Smith.
They tough. about 100 rounds to a
draw (prize ring rules. 1t was very
roor fight
About that same time Charlie
1 Mitchell challenged Sullivan to fight
and they had a 36-round draw in
/ France. II was held under prize ring
rules and was a-poor scrap. Neither
/ of these two fights settled any cham
| pionship aspirations Kilrain and Sui
Ivan both came back to the United
States. and in September, 1892, fought
a 75-round battle in which Sullivan
thoroughly whipped Kilrain This was
the last prize fight Of any note held in
this country under London prize rims
rules. All contests since that tins
have been contested under Queens
I bury rules.
