dent of the bank to recover $45000
in the aggregate on notes the
Specker Brothers had endorsed for
the late Clemens Hellebush. These
suits were filed by the trustees of
the insolvent bank. The allega-
tions in the suits indicate a new

der in the second degree.
PUBLISHSC AT SAN ANTONIO. BEXAR COUNTY. TEXAS. ANO REGISTERED AT THE POST OFFICE AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.
JIM AND 808.
DANIEL STEWART HAS IT RUED.
HE IS ON HIS WAY TO DALLAS TO
BUILD HIS AMPHITHEATER.
Preparations for 40000 Spectators
General Admission $10.00; Re-
served Seats $2O 00; 250 Boxes
With Ten Chairs Each—No Mon-
keying With Small Fry Boxers.
Chicago 111. June 13.—Daniel
Stewart reached Chicago last even-
ing from New York whither he had
been to arrange for the champion-
ship battle between Jim Corbett
and Bob Fitzsimmons and is now
on his way to Dallas to arrange for
the building of a mammoth amphi-
theater In which the men will bat-
tle the question of fistic superiority.
The Florida Athletic club has sim-
ply been transferred to Dallas.
Stewart said “I met the parties in
New York with a plain business
proposition. I produced a copy of
the Texas statutes showing that
there is no law in this state against
bringing off a meeting between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons. I told
them that the Florida Athletic
club was transferred to Dallas.
Dwyer Vendig and a friend
thought It over and I was elected
president and treasurer of the club
and it is now transferred to Dal-
las.”
I am on my way to Dallas to
construct a house in which the
fight will take place. It will be a
mammoth structure built in octo-
ganal shape. There will be four en-
trances from the cardinal points of
the building. The seating capaci-
ty will be 40000. There will be
250 boxes with ten chairs in each.
The prices for boxes has not been
determined but the admission
will be $lO with reserved seats $2O.
During the week in which the
fight will take place there will be
a fair in Dallas and to this there
will be excursion rates from all
over the country. I have secured
a cheay rate from two Eastern
lines which I believe has never be-
fore been secured for a similar
event.
Corbett and Fltzsimmon will
meet on Thursday Oct. 30. There
will be one other contest probably
between Dixon and Plimmer.
There will be no carnival of four
fights. The mill between the lit-
tle men will take place probably
the second day proceeding the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons battle.
I have seen accounts in the
papers about au indignation meet-
ing at Dallas against the big fight
a meeting of 78 people at which by
a majority of six it was decided to
protest the battle. The opposition
If true is not very powerful. Their
protest cannot be effective since no
law is being violated. I have only
to pay the license fee provided for
the entertainment to bring off the
affair and be thereby within the
law of Texas and the ordinances of
the city of Dallas. I shall carry
out my part of the agreement to
the letter and all the men will
have to do is to get into the ring
and fight. With such men and
the feeling there is the battle for
the championship should be the
greatest ever fought.”
From what the Texan says there
will be no middle weight or welter
weight mills about which so much
has been said and written. The
meeting which will settle that
great fight will take place at Dal-
las. He does not intend that the
multidudinous light welter and
middle weights shall get under of
the big show. There will be but
two Dixon and Plimmer and Friz
and Corbett and Stewart holds
wisely that these are enough and
worth the journey to see.

STEAMER ST. LOUIS
SAFELY REACHES SOUTHHAMPTON
AFTER A SPLENDID RUN.
She I* Given a Great Welcome And
Every Passenger Is Loud In
Praise Of The Great
American Ship.
Southhampton June 13.—The
St. Lonls the palatial steamer
which has made a successful voy-
age across the ocean was docked at
5 o’clock this morning. The early
hour prevented the Intended recep-
tion. Nevertheless quite a large
crowd was on hand to see the first
big Amerlcen. The passage was a
delightful one. No records were
broken but It was understood be-
fore that no speed trial was to be
made. So there was no disappoint-
ment. The daily runs to the Scllly
were 234 443 379 441 443 443 and
416. For a first trip this is consid-
ered excellent and great things are
expected when the St Louis has
been scraped and painted and her
machinery Is in such condition
that she can be fully tested.
The program of entertainment
included recitations by John Drew
and Rowland Bnckson. Many la-
dies appeared in full dress. Several
pools were sold daily on the ves-
sel’s speed. Paul Arthur was the
auctioneer and proved very enter-
taining and successful. He and
John Drew were fortunate enough
to capture a pool each. It was re-
marked how few St. Louis citizens
were aboard eight certainty not
being a good representation. The
consideration shown them by the
Chicagoans was as kind as it was
unexpected.
Some of the incidents of this im-
portant trip which are reported by
the special reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press on the St. Louis are:
Hon. Clayton McMichael editor
of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
canwho was a passenger on board
said: “The City of Brotherly Love
has good reason to be proud of this
grand ship. When she does make
an effort she will prove a record
breaker. Not only is she a credit
to Philadelphia where she was
built but to the city after which
she is named. Every passenger was
delighted with the trip and was
almost sorry that it did not last
longer.”
James Campbell a banker of St.
Louis in an interview said: “Our
great city has a right to be proud
of the splendid ship. She will cer-
tainly be the future queen of the
ocean. St. Louis well appreciated
this great occasion.”
Justin McGrath as a native born
St. Lousisanis very proud of the
ship.
Mr. Towne the representative
of the Cramps says: “I am thor-
oughly satisfied that the vessel is
in every way as good as we could
wish to build and the trip has
proved that we have carried out
our contract.”
T. A. Synder of Cincinnati says:
“I never had a more pleasant trip
in my life than in this voyage and
I wish the boat was named after
our city instead of the Mississippi
metropolis.
Dr. Calhoun of Wis. says: “It
was a grand voyage and I wish the
boat was named Milwaukee.”
Boston Will See the Star Rival*.
Boston June 13.—The all star

Jefferson Eugene Tompkins and

Forest Fires.
Bradford Pa. June 13.—Forest
fires continue to destroy property.
Last night at midnight word came
from Simpson stating that the
flames were dangerous near Wells
Waguehart and Tavens and that it
w’ould be difficult to save property

force of 150 men had a fight with
the destroying element near La-
fayette Corners. About 200000 feet
of lumber at W. D. Johnson’s mill

loss. Fires are reported from vari-
ous other points.

ADDRESS ON THE NEGRO.
Problem in the South—Lynching*
and the Canse.
Boston June 13.—At the Metho-
dist Ministers’ meeting Wednes-
day Rev. Dr. E. Hoss editor of the
Nashville Christian Advocate the
official organ of the Methodist
Episcopal church South delivered
an address on “The Negro problem
as a Southerner sees it.” He said
In part:
“I suppose that there are many
things upon which we can agree.
For instance we are all agreed that
the most iniquitous business that
the world ever saw was the awful
African slave trade that landed so
many Negroes on our shores.
“We are also agreed that the thing
was done that should not have
been done and I have yet to find a
single Southerner who does not be-
lieve with me. I do not mean to
say that all the Southerners are
just satisfied by the manner in
which slavery was abolished.”
He denied a prevalent belief that
the Negro is increasing so fast that
In a short time the race will pre-
dominate in the Southern States
and said;:
“There never was a greater de-
lusion. The politician’s spectre of
Negro denomination is only a spec-
tre after all.
“Inevitably the ultimate ascend-
ancy of the white people in the
South will insure to the benefit of
the Negro.
“There is one fact in regard to
which it is well to make up our
minds definitely now; that Is the
colored race is absolutely sure to
continue a colored race.
“The colored people In the south
are rapidly accumulating property
—they are getting homes.
“I occasionally make speeches to
the colored people in the south and
I just talk on four points.
“I tell them to get religion to
get married to get an education
and to get a homo.
“And I regard the a«cumulatton
of property as a fact of supreme im-
portance.
“The Negro is taxed for $50000-
000 of property.
“The advance in education is due
largely to help aud Influence from
the North.
“Most of the colored schools have
been established by Northern do-
nations.
“There are a great m&ny of the
colored people of whom I cannot
say the complimentary things I
have been trying to say.
“In some communities there is
the densest barbarism. The Negro
has often been the victim of mob
law when it was not merited but
often—shall I say It ? Shall I speak
the truth ? (cries of “Yes Yes.”)
Often the outrages have been such
as to make the blood of any man
boil within him. And it seems to
me that the leaders here In the
north lay a much greater emphasis
on the penalties which are in-
flicted than they do on the out-
rages.”
Young But Full of Pluck.
New York June 13—A special
to the World from Mount Vernon
says: Justina Grill avenged her-
self upon her recent lover Pas-
qualli Muschto on seventh avenue
today by cutting bis throat in the
public streets. The girl is only 16
is slight and quite pretty. By-
standers say Muschto pushed the
girl aside. Justina sprang upon
him encircled his neck with her
left arm and drew the razor across
his throat. The blood drenched
the girl and Muschto fell to the
pavement. She stood above as he
lay writhing and held aloft the
razor dripping with blood. A po-
liceman took her to jail. The girl
said Muschto had ruined her un-
der promise of marriage. When he
called the night before Justina
urged him to marry her. He
laughed and she replied in great
anger. She secured an old razor
and watched for Muschto. She
met him and asked if he intended
to marry her. He told her to go
away and leave him alone then he
pushed her. She was committed
to the county jail to await the
result of the man’s injuries.
A Political Row.
Jacksonville 111. June 13’—
The Republicans have had Mayor
Waltmayer and his entire police
force arrested for riot. This un-
usual proceeding is the climax of
the conflict between the Democratic
mayor and the Republican council
which led the mayor a few days
ago to forcibly eject the old police
department from the jail so that he
could install his own men.
