To another reporter Fltzslmmons ald: "There wn no nd fr me to foul Sharkey, because I had him whipped, anyway, and could have finished him before the end of the round. It don't make any difference, though. As 1 telegraphed Dan Stuart last hlght. I ajn willing to wwt toth Sharkey nml !orbett In the same ring any night Stuart wnnts to pull the light off. I wl l ay om thing for Corbett.-and that is I don't blam him for faying that ho wan robbed of the Jackson nht In this town. No iuprHl.t can set a nq-iare dal from the thieves who hamllo tiKhtlnjr In this city, and it is a safe N-tthat the last Lis fight 8n I'ranetaco will ever see was pulled off list night." SHARKEY'S CLAIM. Sharkey had this to say of the affair to n, reporter: "I am certain that FttzslmmoM fouled me deliberately to save himself from defeat. It was gettlnjr too plain to him that I was paln;ng In strength, while ho was Koins down hill, ko to speak, and rather than be knocked out he thought he would lose on a. fouL Had he uot delivered that nasty blow which crippled me I would certainly have tlnbhed him In that round the eighth. I believe it was. I am sorry that tho question of supremacy was not settled on Its mritd rather than in this way. I can beat Fltzslmmons, and I would far rather have knocked him out than win the purse, on a foul. I don't think he wi.l be anxious to meet me again, however, but If he does, well, I am open to all engagements". 1 am in the boxinic business o a profession. I intend to win the world's championship If the decUlon In thla contest has not already Kiven me the rizht to that title. 1 am not goinc to poe as a talking tighter, either. If anybody wants to meet me they will always rind me willing." Referee Karp stoteU this mornir.R tnat when he decided the contest In favor- of Sharkey he did so because he thought that Kltialmmond telil-ra,tely fouled him. and, under the rules, the sailor was entitled to tho decision. He would have been willing to allow half foul. that is, foul that might be considered partly accidental to pa.s by with only a reprimand, but in such n. ca?M- as this he coual only do his duty. He raid: "There It one thing I regret. I should have given Hharkey the tight earlier In the contest. In the fourth round. I think It was; i'ltz-simmons landed a Jcfth;unded blow and returned With his elbow, cutting Sharkey's eyebrow open. The sailor should have had the tight then. The foul blow of the eighth round was seen lalnly by me. Fltzslmmons smashed with lis light on Shark-jy's shoulder, and then with an upper cut with the left he struck the rallcr below tho bvlu Sharkey was leaning over and the bjow knocked him. down. . It was clearly a. foul, and before the sa:lor' movcA I Mentioned that the fight was over. The tirst blow had been, weak, and I believe tht the second was Intended for an upperf-cut. but It struck foul. No man until now has ever questioned my honor. I rravj boon In many places and In peculiar situations, but no onn ever said until last night that I was pulliy of a dishonorable act. And I still repeat that I decided In all fairness and with a Judgment that' was as true as my eyesight- 1 saw tho foul blow." Fltz tfave a hag.punehinj? exhibition tonight at the Itush-Mtroet.

"When Wyatt Earp appeared In the ring last night to act as referee he was disarmed by police Captain Wittman, who took from the Arlzsna man a large-sized pistol. To-night Karp was arrested on a chargo of carrying concealed weapons. He was released on bail. Martin Julian. Fltzslmmons's manager, has made a statement, in which he says: "About 6:30 o'clock last night I was told by threo prominent men that Wyatt rJarp, the man selected to referee the light, was crooked, ami with him In the ling Fltzsimmons would stand no show, lhcse men "were Kile-y Grannan. the race-track plunger. Mose Gunst, San Francisco police co minis loner, and Tom James, formerly purser of an Australian steamer, and the man who brought Fit to America. They said the change in the betting showed that something was wrong; as toon as it became known that Earp was to be the referee Bharkey money -appeared in unlimited quantities. Whea.thu big fight wu called

If I had the crowd would hive mobbed us." Fltzslmmons. through his attorney, has commenced BUlt fn the Superior Court to restrain the Ar.glo-Callfornla Rank from paying Sharkey the JlO.oou purse awarded thu sailor by Referee Earp. Fltzslmmons charges conspiracy between Sharkey, the National Athletic Club and others whose names are not given to award Sharkey the furse under any circumstances. Fltz aleges that before Earp was setected as referee this agreement was made, and that had he known of it he would have refused to enter the ring. Judge Sanderson granted the injunction prayed for. and the case will soon be tried In court. The National Club is composed of J. G. Groom and John Glbbs, local men. A delegation of six reputable physicians examined Sharkey to-night and made the following report: "We find an oedema or swelling on the left side of the groin, extending partially to tho left: also, two small ecchymotic spots or dlseoloratlons about half-way down on the right side." Dr. Lee. the man called in to attend Sharkey last night, in spite of the fact that other physicians offered their services. Is hoi recos?mzeu ny me regular medical rraternity of this city. It is stated by a prominent physician that the injuries exhibited bv Sharky could have been caused by a blow on the navel. COUBETT" .NOT SORRY. Rather Planned Hint Fltzalmmous Did Not Get the Decision. NEW YORK, Dec 3.-Pugll!at Corbett hd no tears of regret to-day over the defeat of Fltzslmmons by Sharkay. On result of tho San Francisco fight. Corbett caid to a reporter, would be to put Sharkey In the first rank among , fighters. While Ccrbctt had thought at the conclusion of the first round that the sailor could not last, his Judgment was that ns the fight progressed Sharkey Improved both in hitting power and endurance of punishment. Corbett adld that Referee Earp was not tho man to mako an unfair decision. As cor.nrmatJon of this Cocb?tt said: "Fltzslmmons was boasting before the right that if he once landed on Sharkey's Jaw it would settle him. He did land twice in the first round, and did not settle Sharkey, nnd it is. hardly reasonable to suppose that Fltzslmmons could hit any harder In tho eighth round than earlier In the fight." At the conclusion of the tight last night Corbett telegraphed Sharkey as follows: "I am very sorry that Fit2.slmmons's foul tactics in his contest with you prevented your getting a decision over him in a full ten-round contest without a foul. I am Teady to meet you on or before Jan. 1. 137." Ret ween tho acts of "A Navnl Cadet." A play in which ex-Champion lorl?tt Is appearing at the Grand Opom House in this city, the big nctor-pujrtllM came before tho curtain and uddressed the cudlenert as follows: "Ladles and Gentlemen Last night Mr. Fltzslmmons and Mr. Sharkey had a contest in San Francisco, and I expected that Mr. Fltzslmmons wculd win in short order: but. to my surprise, he did not. I don't wish to express any opinion as to the outcome of tho contest or of the decision of the referee. I will say this, however, that I stand rady to meet either Fltzslmmons or Sharkey, fim come first served, two weeks after papers nre signed, an! at nny place on earth, bee use I want It settled, first and tor all time, who Is the best man in th world." Seen In his drsslnc room by a reporter the pugilist said: "I feel all right, and two we.ek.V notice Is sufficient for me after nignlng the papers.

PENSIONERS "BLED. it Serloua Chargei Ajcalnst Officer of the Iowa Soldiers Home. OMAHA. Neb.. Dec. 3.-A special to tho Ree from Des Moines, la., says: Federal officers of the Southern district of Iowa will next week arrest the officers and trustees of the Iowa Soldiers Home, at Marshalltown. for committing a misdemeanor against the federal government by interfering with the pensions of soldiers who are Inmates of the home. They will be taken at once before Judge Woolsworth for trial. The arrests will be mado on information furnished by Special Agent Gray, of the federal service, who has been at Marshalltown for some time working on the matter. District Attorney C. D.

A rOWEm-'LL LITTLE UXUINK. Welsh Twenty Pounds nnd Exerts Fortjr . Hone Power. Chicago Tribune. It was five years aco that Grant Rrambel, of St. Paul, Minn., after experimenting for seven years, hit upon the idea of the little rotary engine for which he Is to receive oyer one and a half million dollars from nn Kngllsh syndicate. Mr. Bramb?l is an Knglishman. just forty years of age, and has been a persistent globe trotter. Four years ago he went to Sleepy Eye. in Minnesota, as station agent and telegrapher of the Chicago & Northwestern Hallway. and In that capacity has he there remained until now. In explaining the invention which has brought him such affluence, Mr. Rrambel said: "I first got the idea of a rotary engine from the turbine wheel. I couldn't see why steam couldn't do what water did, especially when steam had qualities which water lacked and that were essential. I knew it was necessary to get the greatest possible development of the steam expansion to give success to my idea, and I have been working along that line for twelve years. I believe It will be hard to get anything simpler, more powerful or better in its way than I have. I have run circular saws with my engine up to 1.2U0 revolutions, emery wheels, centrifugal faii3 and blowers, creamery separators up to 6..V0 revolutions and dynamos, all coupled direct to the engine. The engines have been used In elevators, holstlnr works, boats and machine shops. The largest engine has been in use in a Trenton, N. J., dyn tmo room since February last, giving the best of satisfaction. The engine is about six by eighteen inches on the floor pnd stands less than tvo feet high. It weighs three hundred pounds and is run by a 120-horse-power boiler. One engine weighing twenty pounds has been tested to forty horse power. "My invention relates to motors, and particularly tc rotary engines having reversible eccentric Distons. The objects in view are to provide a machine of eimpe construction with means for providing ti e maximum expansion of steam, to provlue an improved construction of piston whereby the force of expansion is economized, and, furthermore, to provide simple and efficient means for lubricating and packing the piston. The en.ine can be made straight running, reversible or compound or triple expansion. To compound an engine it is only necessary to exhaust the steam Into a chest, lead it to a second Ket of recesses in tho periphery of the piston add use it over again there. To triple it a second chest and third sot of recesses are cut in the periphery of the piston. "I've got a machine." said the inventor In conclusion, "that is a bigger thing than thl: engine, and when I get some money I'll be in shape to push it myself. It's a dynamo, and it is as much ahead of the dvnamo of to-day as this engine is nhead of the ordinary crunk motion." Mr. Rrambel has patents on his engine In nearly all the civilized countries of the world, and It is for the Hritlsh rights alone that ho Is to be paid Jl.CW.OOy. When the throttlo valve is turned to admit steam cr other motive agent to one of the inlet ports It enters the cylinder adjacent to one of the expansion chambers, and Is thus admitted to one of the chambers or recesses of tho piston. The expansion of steam gives the Impetus necessary to carry tho piston far enough to bring the succeeding chamber into the field of the incoming steam, the first chamber being mehnwhlle exhausted. Reversal Is accomplished by moving the lever to cause the admission of steam through the other inlet port. This machine apparently gives to a rotary engine the combination of a cylin der having opposite heads provided with registered extended bearing boxes, inwardly divergent steam inlet ports communicating with the interior cylinder at their inner ends and a common va.ve casing at their outer ends, a cut-on and a reversing valve urranged in the casing, u rotary piston arranged In the cylinder and provided with irlpheral pockets adapted to communicate with steam expansion chambers at the inner ends' of the Inlet ports, registering cross sectlonally semi-circular grooves formed in the continuous faces of the piston and cylinder head and concentric with the bearing boxes, their Grooves combining to form lubricating ducts, a shaft fixed to the piston, nnd lubricating devices In connection with the boxes of the shaft bearings whereby lubricants pass between the ends of the piston and the cylinder heads nnd accumulate in the ducts to form packing to prevent the exhaust cf steam or the passage thereof from one pocket of tho piston to another.

Purpose for Which the Democratic Party Is Isefnl. To the Editor of the Indlanaiolls Journal: I am surprised that so astute a politician as Governor Cumback should Imaglno for a moment that tho Democratic party Is dead; and even more surprised that ho should seem to be glad of It. The Democratic party Is not dead, and its death would be such a national calamity that I hope it will not die soon, if ever. What is the Democratic party, anyhow, that its death 13 to bo desired? Governor Cumback and everybody else knows that there always has been and is now In every country a large class of malcontents who imagine they can improve! their own condition, at least, by overturning existing social and political affairs. They have no definite plans of their own, but they assume that In a general breakup they can appropriate something to themselves, or, at least, they can provide that nobody else shall be better on than they. It was so In the days of David in the long ago. Those who were in distress or In debt or were discontented organized, a party to reform things. As David was a shrewd leader he. kept them within bounds and no harm came of the party. Now we have just such characters by the thousand, and as they arc birds of a feather they naturally tiock together; and as naturally as ducks take to water they all take to the Democratic party, which has always held out great inducements for them. Occasionally a few of the more ambitious of them have ors-anized a sideshow for the sake of playing party on their own hook, but the mass of them always have remained with the Democratic party and always will if that party remains, and tho small contingent of comeoutcrs may always be relied upon to returp In case of such an emergency as that of last summer, when those who remained get control of the party, as In the late canvass, Meanwhile there always has been and may always be expected a considerable number of really excellent men who are Democrats because their fathers were, as there are born Methodists, or born Presbyterians, or born Baptists, who are what they are without knowing or caring what fcrco or forces made their ancestors thU or that; Incoming usually the most Intense defenders of the faith of their fathers without knowing or caring what side Of any question they were on. To these may. be added a few whose early political education was all right, but who got switched off on account of a want of appreciation or the like, but who can never forget the wholesome Instructions of their earlier life; henco they may be depended upon to do right in almost any case of emergency. These, by force of circumstances, become the leaders of the party In ordinary times, and are. usually able to so far control the policy. of the party that nothing worse than a deficiency of revenue or a period of extravagant expenditures and general derangement .of business follows. The people easily rlgjit this by returning the. Republicans to power. Rut when the element of discontent takes the helm, as it did at Chicago last summer, these men of character are in Just the right place to prevent revolution.

MORE SMOKE THAN FIRE

GUESTS AT THE DEXISOX HOUSE AWAKEXED AT EARLY' MOItX. Fierce Fire In Rear of Ofllce Filled the Hotel with Smoke and , . Caused Alarm. At 2:30 o'clock this morning the fire department dashed up in front of the Denlson Hotel and found huge volumes of smoke pouring out from the corridor of the Pennsylvania-street entrance. It looked like there was to be a bad fire, but it was soon found there was a great deal more smoke than blaze. Night Clerk Thomas J. Carey, while sitting behind the desk, suddenly detected the odor of smoke and In a moment he gave orders to the night watchman and one of the bellboys to start on a hurried examination of the first floor. One went to the north, one to the south and Carey himself made a search In the rear of the office. On opening the door leading Into tho extra baggage room, which adjoins Manager Cullcn's private office, which, in turn. Is immediately In the rear of the desk, dense smoke belched out, followed by a sheet of flame. Mr. Carey, with great presence of mind, rushed out to the street and gave the alarm, which was immediately carried to headquarters and turned in. Mr. Carey then rushed back into the hotel and. summoning the call boys, sent them throughout the building arousing the guests. He at once closed all the doors loading into Manager Cullen's office and tho extra baggage room, cutting off tho draft. Ry this time a chemical wagon arrived and a line of hose was carried through the hotel at a rush into the extra baggage room. When the doors were opened the interior of the baggage room resembled a furnace, so rapidly had the flames eaten their way on the woodwork. As soon as the fluid was turned on from the chemical wagon the effect was apparent. Dense clouds of smoke rolled through the doorway, and followed the elevator shaft, spreading throughout the building. Tho fire had gained such headway in the rear of the baggage room that it was some minutes before the firemen made an lmpresion on It. Tho rear of Manager Cullen's office soon began blazing, the fire having crept under the floor, and a stream was turned in there. It was twenty minutes before the firemen had extinguished the flames. By this time the guests began to pour out into the hallways. The origin of the fire cannot be definitely ascertained. Night Clerk Carey thought that it was due to spontaneous combustion. The guests were loud in their praise of Mr. Carey's heroic action In notifying them of the impending danger promptly. Many crowded around him and warmly shook hi hand. During the excitement Mr. Carey's presence of mind and coolness were noteworthy. There was not the least apparent agitation, and he directed tho firemen at once on their arrival, so there was no confusion in getting at the flames. There was great danger of a panic on account of the ease with which the stifling smoke reached tho upper floors of the building, the elevator shaft acting as a huge flue. Night Clerk Carey took advantage of the services of several men who volunteered to go to these upper floors and calm the guests that might be rushing pellmell into the halls, and this precaution was a wise one. Many of the guests who had rushed out of their rooms found thes smoke so dense that they despaired of reaching the staircase. The commercial travelers who were in the hotel were the coolest of them all. Before abandoning their rooms they donned their garments, grabbed all their effects within easy reach, and then sauntered out to find what it was all about. Capt. James Henry, of the State Bank of Indiana, even went so far as to tie his white tie. The family of Judge Woods, or the Federal Court, was on the third Moor, and the members of It coolly made their way to the ground by way of a back staircase. One couple, a man and wife, rushed down from an upper floor to the dining room in night garments, the man beseeching the first person who appeared to first save his wife. It was not necessary to do this, but she quickly disappeared in one of the parlors as a crowd of the firemen came up the main stairway, and her husband returned upstairs, to bring back garments for them both. Mrs. Charles E. Wright was one of those who suffered the greatest fright from the smoke. She made her way to the hall and Edward Schurmann, who was coming from his apartments in another wing, aided her In reaching the staircase. Mrs. William D. Owen, wife of the secretary of state, is an invalid, but she was brought to the first floor, bearing up bravely under tho excitement. Charles E. Coffin was one of the first to reach the rround. There was some fear that guests, becoming panicky, might attempt to jump from the windows. However, considering the excitement and the cause for alarm, the people were remarkably self-possessed and, us stated above, it was due to Night Clerk Carey's coolness that a panic was prevented. A number of the guests In the hotel were men who had come to the city to attend the Scottish Rite convocation. AMUSEMENTS. Grand "Too Much Johnson." There is an archaic saying of some old philosophic cynic to the effect that tho most serious things in life are frequently the most laughable. This fact was seized on by William Gillette when he wrote the play, "Too Much Johnson." From first to last throughout the three galloping acts the players are so dead In earnest that they have no time for a laugh themselves, while on tho other side of the footlights the audience is almost as continuously convulsed. The comedy given here for the first time last night at tho Grand was recognized at once as something new and entertaining. The curtain had not been up five minutes before everyone settled down for an evening of thorough enjoyment. The play is a succession of nonsensical happenings, but the intense seriousness with which these actors go through. It all compels the spectators to take it as historical events. The play Is a treat for those set-king entertainment, and Us coming hete introduces several actors who give line exemplification, of the dramatic art as applied to comedy. First of these is George Backus, aa Augustus Billings, the chief role, which Mr. Cillette made famous during the long New York run of "Too Much Johnson." With men like Backus coming rapidly to the. front it is no wonder that John Drew cuts his mustaehe and begins to feel about for another lino of cnaracter impersonations than thoto in which he made his fame. Backus dons Augustus Billings's white duck garments and gives a delightful representation of the sometimes wicked but always resourceful American husband who nas a troubitsorr.o time of it trying to keep his standing at home. Backus has all tne necessary qualities of a leading comedian, with his lithographs stuck in the windows oa Broadway. Handsome, talented and confident, he is so thoroughly at home on the stage that one forgets the artificial character and scon believes this man Billings of the play actually went through all the laughable situations represented in the dnma. He explains everything to his pryIn f mother-in-law by laying it on an alleged friend named Johnson, who is supposed to reside in Cuba on a ranch, which the brilliant liar claims to have purchased. Ills absence from home is explained by an alleged trip to his ranch. Tho next time he attempts to work this excuse his wife and her mamma are seized of a desire to visit the Cuban estate. They meet Billing at the steamer. Tho first act

takes place In the steamer cabin, a very neat and realistic setting. The next two acts are on the Cuban plantation, and here more novel and refreshing scenery Is emSloyed. In Cuba Billings meets a real Mr. ohnson. and the situation goes from gay to the hilarious and continues so till the end of the play, which seems entirely too short. In addition to the brilliantly descriptive comedy work of George Backus, Miss Maud llaslam. who plays the forgiving, sometimes chiding, but always loving Mrs. Augustus Billings, furnishes a large share of the entertainment. There is a pathetic moment In the last act during a most exquisite bit of dome-sti pathos between Backus and Miss llaslam that threatens to bring tho tecrs to the -ye3 of every susceptible spectator, but just at the moment when everyone Is reaching for a handkerchief a deft comedy touch is tlung In, and the actcrs are back at their old tricks of manufacturing joy. All the several characters are in capable hands, wme of them coming from the original New York production. "Too Much Johnson" remains the rest of the week, with a popular Saturday matinee. The Xordlen-Ie Ilenxke Trouble. Those Interested In muflc have been watching with Interest the discussion between Mme. Nordlca, the great toprano, and Jean De Reszke. who seems to be "the power behind the throne" of the Metropolitan Opera House, at New York. The gist cf the matter is that Nordica it an American tnd boycotted by the foreign musical clique. Mme. Nordica is. perhats. the most popular dramatic soprano of the day and the boxofflce holders of the Metropolitan Opera House petitioned the managers to give special performances, with Nordica In the leading roles, as a compensation to them fcr being disappointed in the ensemble of Mr. Urau's company. None but foreigners ranr the leading roles, and Nordica was literally "frozen out." Derplte tremendous opposition. Mme. Nordica haa rlnen to the top lo her profession, and is now on a triumphal tour of America at the head of her own superb concert company. She has associated with her such well-known musicians as Kosa Lande. thought by majiy critics to be the best contralto before the public; William H. Rieger, the tenor; John C. Dempsey. a basso of international reputation, and C Le MaTcht. a ilano virtuoso and conductor, who has created a furore on two continents. This galaxy of stars will be at English's Opera House next Tuesday night. The advance sale la now in progress at the Tembruke. Sndle Wan Turning Handspring: SYDNEY, New South Wales, Dec. 3. The representative In this city of the Associated Press, acting on Instructions received, haa investigated the. death of Miss Sadie MacDouald, the wellknown American actress, and finds there la no foundation for the sensational reports circulated on the subject In the United States. There la no truth in the statement that Mr. Julian Harris, the manager of the company with which Mies MacDonald was playing. Is holding back shocking news, or any other news of the death of the young actress. Miss MacDonald died suddenly early on Sunday morning last of cerebral hemorrhage and paralysis of the spine. In all probability due to overexertion. Her demise was quickened by a severe fall which- she sustained recently while practicing handsprings at the princess Theater. Melbourne, for the last production of "A Milk White Flag." In which she appeared. Her retnalns were interred here on Monday last, the funeral being attended by many theatrical and other friends and by all the members of the company she belonged to. The above may be a truthful story; but If much an investigation was made as the Associated Preps alleges, the mistake of calling Hoyt's

manager In Australia "Julian Harris" instead of Julian Mitchell gives he report a bad color. Sothern and Horned Married. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3. E. H. Sothern, the actor, and Virginia Haraed, his former leading lady, were privately married In this city this afternoon. The ceremony was performed In St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal Church and the rector. Rev. Dr. Mortimer, officiates. Mm. Carl, of New York, a sister of the bride, was the only outsider present beside the church attendants. The bride gave her name as Virginia II. Hicks. It had been announced that the marriage would occur next spring, and what induced the change of date has net been stated. The license was procured this afternoon and the ceremony soon followed. Mr. iothern and hi company are filling a fortnight's engagement at one of the local theaters. After the ceremony Mr. Sothern held himself aloof from visitors, but his manager, Mr. Kennedy, admitted the marriage had taken place and said there was no effort to keep It secret. Mrs. tMjthern ceased to be. the leading lady of the company about three weeks .ago, since which time Ehe has been living in New York. She will spend the winter in that city. Fllcklnger May Be DnrnatormtnR. GALION, O., Dec. 3. Nothing has been learned of the whereabouts of Frank Fllcklnger, the student who disappeared recently from Worcester. Mass. The young man's lather said to-day: "For a year or more Frank has had a desire to go on the stage, and while attending school at Terre Haute, Ind.. several times appeared In puhlie as a v sketch artist and comedian. After one of these entertainments the manager of the Delia Fox Opera Company made him an offer to Join the company. He declined this, owing to my objections, but on his return from school h told me that his desire was to study for the stage and that if I would grant him the desired permlfsion he would earn the money himself. He was finally persuaded to return to school at Worcester." Mr. Fllcklnger has not heard a word fiom his son since his disappearance about two weeks ago. Bernhardt In n Male Role. PARIS, Dec. 4. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt scored a fresh triumph in her assumption of the title role of Demusset's "Lorenzacclo," at the Renais sance Theater last night. The play was presented with a splendid cast and mounting. There Is only one opinion of Mme. Bernhardt's superb acting of the male part vhlch she assumes In this play, but there is a different view of the value of the piece. Some of tho critics think that the actress has only produced it as a proof of her versatility and as a stepping stone to the future assumption of the role of Hamlet. Creditor Poshing Hammersteln. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Application for a receiver for the property of Oscar llammerstein. the Olympia theatrical manager, and for an Injunction restraining him from disposing of any of hia assets, was made to-day before Judge Smythe in the Supreme Court. The applicant i.i A. M. Byers Co., of Pittsburg, who hold an unsatisfied Judgment for 1S.O0O against llammerstein. for material and labor. Judge Smythe withheld his decision until he could examine the affidavits which accompanied the application. Mrs. Franko Dcnd. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Mrs. Nathan Franko died at 8:30 o'clock to-night of peritonitis. Mrs. Franko, before her marriage, was Miss Cornelia Ruppert. eldest daughter of Jacob Rupiert, tne millionaire brewer. Mr. and Mrs. Franko were married in Paterson. N. J., on July 2. U9". It being a runaway match, as the parents of the young woman objected to her marrying Franno, who was first violinist in the Damrosch orchestra. Manleson Operntle Hubble Dnratn. BOSTON, Dec. 3. Mapleson's Imierial Opera Company, which came to grief here last nlRht, will make no attempt to earn' the American tour any further, and reveral of the principals have already left Bostcn for New York.
