THOUGHT THAT BOYS EMPLOYED
THE DRAYMAN TO CART IT
AWAY.
LGB ANGELES. Cal., Mar 9—In a
statement today Tommy Burns, the
winner of last night’s fight, declares
that he promised to lay down and let
"O'Brien win the fight."
He snld there was no chance other
wise to get O'Rrlen into the ring. He
said he resolved as soon as the gong
sounded for the first round to break
his promise, and determined to go In
and win.
The disgust of the sporting world
over the affair is great. Referee
Charles Eyton said today:
■•Burn’s statement today is the first
Infimntlon I had about any agreomtnt
between the m^n. I am not surprised,
however, at tlje revelation, as there
was plenty of suspicious circum
stances. F called all bets off last night
nfter a conference with Manager Me*
Carey. I am glad personally that the
exposure has been made for It will
help to shut some of those out of the
boxing game who are In It for dlBhon-
est purposes ”
.Tack O'Brien and Tommy Burns met
Wednesday night for a purse of $30,000
and the heavyweight championship.
During the first round Referee Eyton
called off all bets without given a
reason at the time.
’ Burns Said.
’’Jack O’Brien was caught in one of
his own traps. I could not get him to
agree to enter the arena until after I
had promised to lay down and let }]lm
win the fight. I pretended to be will
ing to do this because I wanted to show
the country that I was O’Brien’s mas
ter. Tn the first round O’Brien was tak
en off his feet and was scared to death.
He knew I had planned too cunningly
for them all. and that he was due for
a beating. As for the bets being call
ed off. I was Instrumental In having
that done for the protection of the
public. I wanted to make this explana
tion afterwards, and 1 did not want
to see the public tricked Into losing
any of Its money.- The calling off be’f;
cost me $3,800. for I stood to win that
amount myself.”
Manager McCarey, of the Pacific
Athletic Club, today confirmed Burns’
statement In every detail.

ATLANTA. May S.—A messenger
tonight carried a small package look
ing like a candy box to 447 East Geor
gia avenue, addressed to Miss Kittie
McCarthy and Mr. Jno. McCarthy,
both of whom were absent at the time.
Their mother, Mrs. Julia McCarthy,
a widow, receiving the package took It
up stairs and opened it. when there
was a terrific and deafening explosion
which* wrecked the entire upper por
tion of the house, part of the roof be
ing torn away.
Mrs. McCarthy was badly burned
and seriously injured, though it is said
not fataUy Injured,
death is a mystery.
Inside the Infernal machine were
found fragments of a pistol and a
spring. Suspicion, it Is said, rests on
a young man who was attentive to
Miss McCarthy and was to have mar
ried her. There was a disagreement,
it is said, and he is reported to have
made threats against her.
The police are making a thorough
investigation of the case, and there
may be some arrests.

again yesterday, when he appeared at

he had been kpocked in the head by a

that the new cars should earn at least

he was aroused from out of the gentle !

The County Commissioners held quite
an interesting meeting yesterday.
In the bunch of petitions was one
signed by the Central City Brick Co..
Geo. F. Wing. C. E. Newton & Bre..
Mrs. Jno. C. Green, R. C. Evers, and
Mrs. Mary L. Patterson, asking that
a public road along the east side of the
river be established and maintained,
the petitioners agreeing to give a full
right of way through their lands for the
purpose
It will be remembered that this is
the road that has been before the Coun
ty Commissioners and the Road Com
missioners for a long time, and which
has been in the courts on mandamus
proceedings. The County Commission
ers placed it on the list of roads to
be worked, but the Road Commission
er? refused to work it, and hence the
trouble.
It was referred to the Road Com
missioners, and what will become of
the petition now is not known.
Superintendent Wimbush made a re
port on the work of the county farm,
and this showed how well the farm
had done and of what value it was to
the county.
The .potters field at Roff Home has
become too small, and steps must be
taken to enlarge it. Permission was
given some time ago for gravel to be
taken from the land adjoining the bur
ial place, and this caused a number of
holes to be left in that part of the
poor farm allotted to the burial of the
paupers. In order to secure more space
for the puriwse It has now been found
necessary to have these holes filled up.
There are now fifty-two inmates of
the Roll Home. This is a very small
number compared with the usual num
ber at that Institution. Dr. Gibson,
the county physician, reports that the
health of the inmates is good.
The street railway company renewed
its request for permission to lay a
double track on the Vineville road,
from St. Stanislaus to the new Acade
my for the Blind, and also for permis
sion to lay a switch on Ellis street, in
South Macon. This matter seems to
find lodgment in the pigeon hole be
cause. as the commissioners claim, the
company has not carried out its agree
ment made three or four years ago
when permission was granted to double
track a portion of this-road, to drain
the sides of the road. One side was
completed, hut nothing was done to
the other side.
The matter was left In the hands of
the County Attorney, who has already
given an opinion in the case, but it is
thought by the company that they
will be able to convince the attorney
that they have complied with their
agreement, and it is passible that the
matter can be adjusted and the per
mission granted.
Some time ago the commissioners
voted to give the Georgia Industrial
Home \hree hundred dollars, in install
ments of one hundred dollars, for the
orphans from B'bb Countv. Yesterday
the second installment of this appropri
ation was ordered paid.
MONTEVIDIO. Uruguay. May 9.—
The French steamer Poitou, from Al
giers, is ashore off San Jose Ignacio.
It is feared that there has been se
rious loss of life. The Poitou struck
thirty yards from the shore at a spot
called Rincon De Herrero. Panic
broke out on board the vessel when
she grounded and a great number of
terror stricken people jumped over
board. Soma of them swam ashore,
but many were drowned.
Customs officials at Rincon De Her
rero saved fifty out of the three hun
dred passengers who are said to have
been on board.
Several steamers have left here for
the scene of the wreck and the Gov
ernment is doing everything to succor
the shipwrecked. An official dispatch
from Rincon De Herrero says thnt up
to 10 o'clock this morning nearly 200 of
the passengers of the stranded steam
er had been rescued and were being
sent to this city.
Wonderful Ecrema Cure.
^ “Our little boy had eczema for five
years." writes N. A. Adams. Henrietta.
Pa. "Two of our home dostors said the
case was hopeless, h!s lungs being af
fected. We then employed other doctors
but no benefit resulted. By chanco we
read about Electric Bitters; bought a
bottle and soon noticed improvement.
We continued this medicine until sev
eral bottles were used, when our boy
was completely cured.” (Best of all

in Macon yesterday and said that there
would he more peaches raised around
Ft. Valley than ever before. He fig
ures on 400 cars being shipped from
that point alone.
When asked why "It is that there is
so much talk of there not being more
than a fourth of a crop this season
and that the prospects were gloomy, he
said: “Don’t you helieve It. That is
being said for effect. Go down and
look at the trees. They sneak
themselves, and it is just as X tell you,
there will be more peaches from m.v
section than there ivas last year.”

FRANK BALL GOES TO
PENITENTIARY FOR L!F€
To Revive Dueling in Oklahoma.
From the Kansas City Star.
The Oklahoma constitution does
not forbid dueling. At a time so far
removed from the days of the code,
the omission of any Te/erence to duel
ing should hardly cause surprise. It
is somewhat surprising, however, to
knor: that one of th" most conspicu
ous leaders in the Democratic party
was prepared to oppose on the floor
of the convention anv ban on dueiing
had it been proposed. This delegate,
born in a Southern State wh n re duei
ing was once the mode of settling dis
putes between gentlemen. Is .--till in
favor of this abandoned practice.
He said: “Men would not dare i
malign each other in the press and in I
the streets as they do now if
knew that they would be compe
to stand up and be shot at. unsustain
ed by the false courage of nassi-’n.
and under rules that would give the
physically weaker man an equal op
portunity with his stronger adver
sary.”
FRANKFORT, Ky., May 9.—The
Kentucky Court of Appeals today af

' boro. Bail is a son of the sheriff of
Lee County, Va.. and prominently con

he fled there, but was captured and

A relic of 1865 came to light yester
day in a strange way.
Uncle Billie Jordan, of the fire de
partment. was out at what is now
known as the barrel factory, near
Crump's Park, and saw a pile of wood.
He struck a bargain and bought the
pile.
j In looking it over he came across the
I stock of a plane used by carpenters,
i This plane was an extraordlary one. be
ing five feet in length, the usual Jack
plane being about two feet, it was of
maple wood and wonderfully well pre
served.
For forty-two years It has lain in a
pile .of wood, exposed to the rain and
sun.
The war closed in 1865 with this
building unfinished. It was intended as
a laboratory where ammunition for the
Confederate armies was to be made and
was the largest and most complete of
its kind in the -Confederacy. The en
trance of Wilson's army and confisca
tion by the United States Government
put a stop to all work "m it, but in
1869 the building was used for holding
the first State fair to be held after the
In its construction the best carpen
ters that Confederate money could se
cure were secured, and !' is supposed
that the plane now in the hands of
Uncle Kl!!!e Jordan was left In the
building when the carpenters quit
railroad | ^'ork, and has been 'y;ng under a jot
J of scrap wood undisturbed ever since.
