Charley Mitchell was posted for the

Corbett’s manager, with David H.
Blanchard, who has been agreed upon
as stakeholder.
It remains with the Englishman to
put up his $10,030 to complete the match.
There is scarcely a" doubt that he will do
so, and his money is expected in every

A Boston 'on’s Eyesight
Saved—Perhaps His Life _
By Hood’s Sarsaparilla—Blcod Poi-
soned by Canker.
Read the following from a. grateful mother:
“ My little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 years
old, and it left him very Week and with blood
phi-cued with canker. His eyes became ‘
so inflamed that hissuilerings were intense, and
for seven weeks he . .
Could Not Open His Eyes.
I took him twice during that time to the Eye
and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, but their
remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow
of good. I commenced giving him Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and it soon cured him. I have
ver doubted that it saved his night, even
1 nor his very life. You may use this tes-
timonial in any way you choose. I am always
ready to sound the praise of . .
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
because of the wonderful good it did my son."

A Young Girl Made Insane by
a .1011ng Remark. 1
SOMEBODY SAID THE SHIP WAS
SINKING.
Sad Tragedy on the Storm-Tossed
Bolivia.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.——“The ship is sink-
ing and they are getting out the life-
boats!” This was the joking remark
made by a lady passenger oi the Anchor
Line steamship Bolivia to a young girl
who was sitting beside her in the second
’ cabin one evening during the voyage.
The young lady was Elizabeth Wright,
and for her it turned out a fatal joke.
The Bolivia left Glasgow on February 4
with a general cargo and 160 passengers.
She encountered terrific gales and the seas
SWept her decks from stem to stem. On_
Sunday, February_19, the passengers, who
were nearly all panic-stricken, were con-
fined' below and nobody but the crew was
allowed on deck. Miss Wright, auvery
pretty 19-yeareold girl, was talking in the
cabin to a few ladies, who were endeavor-
ing to console themselves that the worst
had passed. Suddenly a tremendous sea
struck the vessel and rolled along the
deck with a noise like thunder.
Then it was said that she was in dan-
ger. The young girl grew as pale as a
sheet and walked with tottering limbs to
her cabin. No attention was paid to her
for some time, as it was thought she was
merely indisposed. Suddenly a terrible
scream was heard from the young girl’s
cabin. Mrs. Reagan, the stewardess of
the-Bolivia, rushed inside, followed by a
few .0! the passengers, and were ~ terrified
by'the sight which met their eyes. '
Elizabeth Wright was on her knees on
the floor, with her hands clasped across
her breast and her long h’air trailing
down below her Waist. A strange, un-
natural light gloWed in her eyes. The
moment she sawthe stewardess and ,the
passengers she re-doubfe'd her shrieks and
cried in heartrendlng tones to be saved
from drowning at sea.
Mrs. Reagan endeavored to calm her,
but it was no use. The youpg girl, who
had been completely unnerved during
the'storm, had gone crazy through tear.
Her agonizing shrieks could be heard
above the howling oi the blast. She en-
déavored to push’the kind-hoarted stew-
ardess aside and get on deck. She was,
hoWev‘er, restrained, and forced gently
into her berth. The ship’s surgeon was
summoned and he, too, for a . long time
was unsuccessful iu‘trying to calm the
fr’en'zled girl.
The doctor, as a last resort, adminis-
tered an opiate to the girl, and she, sank
intoa qéuie’t slumber. The ioildwin-g day,
however, she Was almost as bad as ever.
. , _ riptton and
it was only with the greatefl persuasion
she‘would take a .utue'best-eeaxsm grew
quieter toward the end oi “If day,_but
it was evident that she’ was at l in' a'pre-
carious condition.
on Tuesday, February 21, Miss Wright
grew very weak. Her condition excited
the grcagest sympathy among the other
passengers, and everything possible was
done to alleviate her condition. That
evening she grew weaker and sank into a
quiet slumber'about 4 o’clock, from which
she never awoke:
The iollO'wing day, Washington’s Birth-
day, the body of the young girl was
brou'ght On deck. All the passengers had
assembled, and as the captain 'read the
burial serviée the 'wbmen burst out into
loud wailings. Slowly and reverenti'a‘lly
the body was lowered into the waves and
the big ship proceeded on her voyage.
with many a heavy heart on board. She
arrived here yesterday looking badly bat-
tered. One of her starboard lilo'boats
was washed away, and she sustained
other injuries about the deck.
TANNERS IN A COMBINE
New York and Boston Leather Men
Unite With 845,000,000
BOSTON, Feb. 25.—A sensation has been
created in the shoe and leather trade by
the completion of a combine between
New York and Boston capitalists with
$45,000,000 behind them.
There are 90 firms in the trust, 35 being
in Boston. They are to decide upon the
tanneries to be kept Open, regulating
them according to their desires. The
tanners now hold the key to the situa-
tion‘ and with plenty of stock in hand ex-
pect to reap a harvest. '
This action is the outcome of a combine
last May which lasted till June, when
sole leather went up three cents a pound,
but the present combination is on a much
more colossal scale.
He Paid for Ilia Curiosity.
NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 25 -—As Edmund
LeBrunn, an electrician employed by the

platform of one of the cars yesterday, the
car came to a sudden stop and he put his

was about to strike the third pole, one of
the passengers pulled him out of danger.
He was taken to St. Michael’s Hospital.
