SULLIVAN WANTS TO FIGHT Aaxtouto Mt J«ckitM for 820.000 But Will Indnlft In 5e More 8itt|

Contest*. Botffox, March 26.—"Now that I have settled that Mississippi trouble I want to attend to Jackson's claims to the championship," said John John L, Sullivan to-day. "I am anxious to have one more battle before I retire from the ring, and of course Jackson is the only man to be thought of just now. If the California Athletic Club or any other club will put up a puree of $20,000 for a fight between Jackson and myself I will meet him in a battle for the championship, 1 don't care what gloves are used so long as they come within the restrictions of the law. I will not, under any circumstances, fight a ring battle again. Hereafter all matches most conform to the law. I've had enough of this illegal business, ft was not worth the trouble I've had. I've spent nearly all I won in that fight trying to clear of the law. Well, I won't it again, that's certain. IV. heard lots of criticism about naming such a high figure for the purse Those folks don't know anything about it. It costs me a neat deal to train for fight, and before I get ready to ^nter the ring I've spent more than ordinary purees amount to. That wonld leave me with out any compensation for fighting, consider my time worth something, and I intend to have my figure. For those reasons I shall demand at least $20,000, and shall stick to it If it is not worth that sum to the California Athletic Club it surely is not worth any less to me.1

SUICIDE OF AN ADVENTURER. II• Undertook to Run a Matrimonial Bargain Coaster.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.—There is now no doubt that the unknown man who committed suicide near San Pablo Saturday by shooting himself just as the train was approaching was Ludwig von Romanyer, the Austrian adventurer who created sach a stir a few months ago by advertising to procure California heiresses for German and Australian nobles whose titles could be vouched for. He then lived at San Jose and was flooded with letters from Europe making inquiries about his heiresses. Romanyer pretend edit was all a joke but people said he wanted to use the letters received for blackmailing purposes. About the time of this exposure Romanyer advertised in a Wisconsin newspaper for a female servant for bis ranch near San Jose. An Austrian girl, Amelia Janda, responded After working a few weeks, she brought suit against Romanyer for $25,000 for criminal assault. This worried Roman yer, as he was engaged to a young woman of good family in San Jose. He became depressed and his friends feared he would attempt suicide. He disappeared last Wednesday.

BENEFIT ENTERTAINMENT.

WOSBHFCI nteeBtn MADE FOE THE F1BE1EIPK BELIEF. 1 1

Citizens and Business Men Offer Their Assistance.

The

The commendable effort of THE NKWS to give a benefit entertainment for the relief of the widows and orphans of the dead Indianapolis firemen has met with widespread approval, both in this and other cities Gf the state. The promptness with which everybody has responded in this beneficent cause shows the spirit of the business men and citixens of Terre Haute and their willingness to assist in every case where their money and services are needed. Up to date, twelve of the brave firemen who fought the fierce flames of the Brown-Merrill

building on that fatal Monday afternoon have been laid in their graves, and their widows and orphans are left to mourn their loss The Indianapolis News, Journal and Sentinel have made wonderful progress with the I ing the cost of framing about $300 relief fund which now amounts to about I

relief fund which now amounts to about 135,000. The News fund aggregates $14, 800, the Journal fund is $4,041 and the Sentinel fund $615,22. To this it is hoped that Terre Haute can add at least $2,000 and a number of business men and citizens have come forward and volunteered their assistance, The service of several job printing firms of the city have been tendered gratuitously, the Military band has donated its services for the entire afternoon and will be at the disposal of the committee in charge, the Terre Haute Bicvcle Club will give exhibition races, James M. Dishon, the city bill poster, has placed

bicycle clube in line. The railroads have been approached and excursion rates of half fare for the round trip will be [ranted on all railroads centering here rom points within a radius of twenty or dii

towns will be billed, and an effort will be made to crowd every train coming to the city.

Wm. P. Dennis, the famous aeronaut, will make an ascension in a mammoth hot air balloon and will make a parachute leap from the balloon when it reaches its greatest altitude. Prof. Den-

called for one evening this week to take action on the matter of raising a fund for the widows and orphans of the dead firemen of our neighboring city and to appoint committees to take charge of the arrangements and finances. Everything connected with the entertainment will he donated and no expenditures will be required whatever. TUB NSWS is desirious that all of the money that can be raised by this means shall be taken charge of by a committee to be appointed by the Mayor and that the committee shall turn the money over to Mayor Danaldson who will deliver it to Treasurer Hanghey at Indianapolis.

Greencastle, I.ayfayette, Fort Wayne, Anderson, kokomo, Muncie, Bnuril, Richmond and other towns and cities in the state ana Ixmisville, Ky., Buffalo, New York, Pittsburg, Chicago and Springfield, Mass., have all sent in hundreds of dollars to swell the fond. Besides the widows who are left to mourn the km of the brave and noble men who lost their lives in the disastrous Bowen-Mer-nil fire are the seven small children of! Fireman Henry Woodruff, whose moth-: er diet! about a year ago and who were made opiums by their &thervs horrible death in the Bo wen-Merrill wreck. The Indianapolis city council is now considering a resolution presented by Councilman Yout* to increase the pay of firemen.

It required some little time to produce the required degree of heat for making a fixed gas but about an hour before noon the plant was in successful operation. Many members of the company were present at the works. Among them were Captain Archer, patentee of the thermogen, and Mr. McKenxie, the gas expert. The therm ogen is used in producing oil vapor. This vapor and superheated steam are driven into large tanks where it is made into a fixed gas. McKenzie's patents cover the last part of the operation.

The company announced for the first time to-day that gas will be supplied for illuminating purposes. A number of burners were attached to pipes at the works to-day and the illuminating power was pronounced satisfactory. However, Mr. McKenzie will devise a special burner for the gas. The Citizens' company has entered the field as a fuH fledged competitor of the Terre Haute Gas Light company. The supposition is that the rivalry will lead to close competition as regards prices.

The holder will be refilled and then the gas will be turned into the pipes. It is usual to fill the pipes four times before pplying the gas to customers. This 11 require a day or two. Stoves were operation to-day and the members of the company were pleased with the results. The gas burns with a yellow tinge. A member of the company said this afternoon that the gas was no doubt a great success when the plant gets in smooth working order.

A Would-be Burglar Seared South Bide Parlor Charles Baird, living at 432 South Third street, met with a rather amusing incident last night. He went home along in the early part of the evening and find ing his front door unlocked walked into his parlor. His eyes fell on the figure of a man who was lying at length in an easy chair, evidently asleep. Mr. Baird saw^in a minute that the individual was

Jj? stranger, but supposed that he" had been admitted by the family and passed upstairs without saying anything. Mrs. Baird informed her husband when questioned that she was totally ignorant of the fact if anybody was in the parlor. Mr. Baird thereupon hustled bacK down stairs and insisted upon an interview with the nervy stronger. The latter snored loudly and made believe that he was asleep for sure, but the proprietor of the prem ises tapped him heavily on the shoulder and demanded an explanation of the whichness."
