NO ONE KNOWS Whether Sharkey Will Be Whaled HE IS AS FIT AS A FIDDLE AND CONFIDENT OF BEATING MAHER When He Has Polished Off Peter He Will Tsekle Bob Fitzsim mons Again Associated Press Special Wire. NEW TORK. June B.—Among those who are considered to be authorities on pugilistic matters ln this vicinity, there is a great difference of opinion as to the outcome of the heavyweight fistic con test which la to take place tomorrow night between Peter Maher and Thomas Sharkey. Maher has three very decided advantages. He Is three and one-quar ter Inches taller, has a longer reach and more ring experience and science than the sailor man. For the past seven weeks Sharkey has made his preparation for tomorrow night's contest at Behm'a hotel, near New Dorp, Btaten island. Never did a pugilist prepare for a contest more earnestly,, carefully and faithfully than Sharkey has under the guidance and advice of Joe Choynski, Tim McGrath and Tom Lansing. Cho ynski has been very exacting and he has found a willing pupil in the sailor. Sharkey has gone through the ordeal splendidly, and his trainers and spar ring partners speak of him ln the high est terms and are a unit In saying that he will get through better than his coun tryman tomorrow night. This was the last day of hard work for Tom. He got up this morning at 0 oclock and took a mile walk before breakfast. After breakfast he took a ten mile run and though the roads were in bad condition he returned to his quar ters in good condition. He rested a while after this and then took a short run along the beach. At 3 oclock he en tered the gymnasium and for an hour and a half he had not an Idle moment. He punched the bag, skipped the rope, used the wrist machine and dumbbells. Then he boxed a few rounds with Cho ynski and Lansing. He looked to be in first-class condition and there was not an extra ounce of flesh visible, while his muscles stood out prominently. When asked whether he would win, he said: "Tell my friends ln California and all over that I never felt better In my life and am confident of winning. If I win I will go after Bob Fitzslmmons' again and I will meefchlm within three months. If defeated I will have no ex cuse to offer." Choynski was equally confident of the sailor's success, and said that he had gone through his training much better than had been anticipated. "He now weighs 178 pounds," said Joe, "and is as lit as It le possible for a man to be. He will not do any more work un til he meets Maher ln the ring, and I am satisfied that he wIU win." Dan Creedon and Kid McCoy have been matched to fight at the Palace Athletic club within the next six weeks for s puree of 88000, the men to weigh 158 pounds. Each posted $1000 forfeit today. GREECE DISMAYED At ths Prospect of Direct Negotiations With Turkey ATHENS, June B.—lt is said on good authority that the powers are now try ing to Induce Turkey to sign general peace conditions, denning broad limits within which Turkey and Greece should afterwards settle details by direct nego tiation. This news is regarded 1 at Athens with dismay, as a breach of faith on the part of the powers, and as leaving Greece to the tender mercies of the sultan. It Is believed by many good Judge* at Athens that Greece may yet have to fight for her very existence. Already there are reports that the Turks have, advanced in the Agrapha district, occupied several villages, and are still advancing toward . the town of Agrapha. Greece has pro tested to the powers against this viola tion of the armistice, and Cot. Tosa , mados, the minister ot war, has gone to Lamia. The Greek newspapers publish the statement, by Gem Miles, that the posi tions at Thermopylae are impregnable. LONDON, June B.—A dispatch to the Times from Its correspondent at Con stantinople eayv that the powers to whom Greece has intrusted her inter ests show no signs of yielding their points ln the Turkish demand for the annexation of Thessaly, the abolition of the capitulations ln the case of Greek subjects ln the Ottoman empire or an exorbitant indemnity. Killed Her Child INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June B.—Mrs. Jerry Holcomb, the young wife of a West Franklin, Posey county, farmer, sacrificed her four-year-old daughter while laboring under the hallucination that the Lord commanded her to do so She has been regarded as partly Insane for a year, but never regarded as dan gerous. On Sunday, while the husband was absent, she took her daughter Into the bedroom and after a few momente walked into the kitchen with the child's head tn her hands and exhibited it to the cook. Tbe latter, fled In terror. When Holcomb arrived his wife was bound with cords. A butcher knife as shsrp as a rasor waa found concealed In her dress. The child's head was sev ered from the body just above the shoul ders. The Woman Lawyer ANDERSON, Ind., June B.—Mrs. Hen rietta Wilkte, of Elwood, has been ad mltted to the Madison County Circuit and Superior Court bars over the pro test of Attorney John Beela of this olty, who protested on the point of unconstitutionality. The case has been under advisement for some days and this ruling Is a very important precedent, as this is the first time the question of legality of a woman prac ticing law has ever been brought up ln this State. The protest was based on several sections, of which the principal one was th* requirement of an attorney to be a voter In good standing. Helen Oougar and other women who are cham pioning woman's rights have been en-; couraglng Mrs. Wtlkle. She argued her' esse splendidly. Objected to Lickings BARBOURVILLE Ky„ June B.—Rev. H. Lawson, a Methodist divine, was shot and instantly killed today by his 15 --year-old son, Isbam. The father whipped the boy Sunday for some slight offense, and he left home.

The murderer es caped. Feminine Burglars OAKLAND, June B.—The police are firmly convinced that the home of Man uel Dies of Elmhuret, which was robbed on Saturday night, was looted by two women and one man, and on that as sumption are looking for female bur glars.

CUTS OF COMMISSION NOT WELL RECEIVED BT SUB AGENTS. The Hew Board of Eire Underwriters Has Very Serious Trouble on His Hands SAN FRANCISCO, June B.—When the new compact between the fire Insurance writers on the Pacific coast was formed a few weeks ago it was thought that troubles which have besieged the in surance world for the last year or so were almost over, but the sub-agents of the city of Stockton refused to agree to a cut of 26 per cent in their commissions and the trouble has broken out afresh. The board of underwritera have Issued an ultimatum to the effect that a.l country agents must sign an agreement to the cut or give up the business. The insurance compact has selected Stockton as the place to begin its battle against a league of Insurance men whicn exists ln various cities, of California, In cluding Stockton, Sacramento and San Jose. The league was organized to re sist what the insurance agents consldei unjust action on the part of the board. A meeting of the Stockton Insurance men will be held at once to decide upon their action. GROWING- ANXIOUS SAN FRANCISCO, June B.—The news from Stockton in relation to the refusal of insurance agents to sign the compact agreement is causing considerable un easiness. It is the most serious trouble the new board of fire underwriters has encountered since Its organization. When the board was formed and rates were advanced the compact decided to cut the commissions of agents to 20 per cent for San Francisco, Oakland, Ala meda and Portland, and IE per cent for all other towns. The expectation was that the agents would make pretty much the same income on the higher rates as they had made at 26 per cent and 80 per cent on cut rates. Still there was behind the reduction an intention tv punish the interior towns for the ex ception ln favor of Portland, which was made solely because that city had form ed a local board and had not participat ed ln the slaughter of rates. Even the local City agents demurred at signing this agreement and thus far but fifty signatures have been obtained. In the meanwhile the state board, as It Is called, has the matter of the action of city agents outside of San Francisco In regard to the agreement under consid eration. The time within which all the agreements must be signed is June 10th, and until then the compact will take nc action tn the matter. The story which was current yester day afternoon that the Thurlnga had re signed from the board, was denied em phatically by Manager Hall. Convention Doings Immense congregations continue to at tend the Christian Alliance camp meet ing near the corner of Ninth and Hope streets. Yesterday, in addition to the regular speakers, Messrs.

LOS ANGELES HERALD t WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 9,1897 A GREAT RACE Under Consideration for Next Spring AN INTERNATIONAL HANDICAP FOB AMERICA, ENGLAND AND AUSTRALIA Racing Results at Denver and Graves end—Philadelphia Team Play ing Cricket at Oxford Associated Press Special Wire. SAN FRANCISCO, June B.—The Pa ciflo Coast Jockey club Erectors are try ing; to arrange an International handi cap to be decided at Ingleelde next spring. In all likelihood a $20,000 o: $30,000 purse will be offered if the direct ors can bring together the best of Amer ican, Australian, Irish and English thoroughbreds.

"We have sent communications to Australian racing men and our plans are now known to them," he said. "Probably we shall send an agent to Melbourne to personally interview the owners of the great handicap horses We shall proceed the same way in Eng land and Ireland.

TWELVE NEW NURSES GRADUATED PROM THE TRAIN ING SCHOOL Exeroises Last Evening in the Medi cal College—Flowers, Addresses, Diplomas and Music When Dr. D. C. Barber went north In April, 1895, and investigated the sub ject of training schools and trained nurses, he had only a vague hope that LO9 Angeles should one day have one of her own, with its alumnae of Flor ence Nightingales. When he came back from San- Francisco, Dr. Barber had convictions, of which he had the courage and for which he proposed' to fight. With the efficient aid of Mrs. Fred T. Griffith and one or two other intelli gent and able coadjutors, Dr. Barber proceeded to interview the board' of su pervisors early and often, until that au gust body was persudad to make the trl at of a training class for nurses ln> the county hospital, and the graduating ex - ercises which were held last evening in the medical college on Buena Vista street of the first senior class was the result. The experiment has proved an un qualified success from the start; there has been no additional experse attend ing It, and facluty, supervisors and nurses were all active factors ln a de lightful' interchange of courtesies and compliments, which was enjoyed by an appreciative audience that quite filled the amphitheater at the college building last evening. The decorations were gold andi white, the class colors, and the class motto, "Semper Fidells," was suspended' above the heads of the class. Dr. Walter Llndley presided, and introduced first the Rev. A. S. Clark, who offered a prayer; then Dr. Jay H. Utley, who gave the opening address on behalf of the class. Dr. Utley first thanked the board of supervisors, through whose ef forts and co-operation the school had become possible, and then he addresser*, the graduating class, who were a.i garbed in their dainty uniform of blue gown and white apron, cap and collar. Dr. Utley presented his-congratulations to the class, andi spoke some kindly words of warning, of advice, of encour agement for the future endeavor, and of unstinted praise and commendation for past accomplishment. Hon. E. S. Field made an address on behalf of the board of supervisors, Mrs. Murray on behalf of the board of man agers, also addressed the class, and then Dr. Llndley presented them to Mrs. T. B. Brown, president of the board of managers, who conferred the diplomas. Dr. Joseph Kurtz was also called upon for a speech, and in all were cordial ex pressions of congratulation and en couragement; and the exercises closed with a benediction by Rev. A. S. Clarke. There were quantities of beautiful flowers presented to the graduates, some of which were from the juniors of the training school, who acted as ushers. Between the addresses there was music by a string orchestra, and the evening was as a whole and ln detail an unqual ified success. Tho class of '97 Is as fol lows: Miss Rebecca Alberts, Tehachepi, Cal.; Miss Elizabeth Uergher. Hanovei, Germany; Miss Theresa Babe, Los An geles; Mrs. Minnie R. Clark, Redlands, Cal.; Miss Annie Hill, Santa Ana, Cal.; Miss Mary Lawson, Santa Monica, Cal.; Miss Annie Harper Mullen, Hollywood, Cal.; Miss Sara E. Nelll, Dayton, Wash.: Miss L.

Expecting every second that his coat would give way and free him, the young man made no outcry, and other em ployes near knew nothing of the acci dent until afterward. Finally the grip around his chest and neck tightened, and) he was slowly squeezed to death. He was found later by another work man and cut down.
