Billy McCarthy, the Australian, in
relation to Jack JDempsey, he said:
"Jack is an exceptionally good man
and a friend of mine, but 1 wish T
had broken his jaw two wcelts
ago because it's business. "We
will go to the city to-night where we
will teach together in the California
Athletic club. I may stay there five or
six weeks, when I think 1 shall return
here and settle down, as Portlaud is a
beautiful city."
"Do you and Jack intend to make a
sparring tour?''
"Oh, I can't say, hut not at present,
anyway."
"Is there any likelihood of you and
Jack fighting again?' asked The As
tokian reporter.
"It is possible, but if I meet Jack I
have to train too much to get down to
his weight"
"Will you fight La Blanche?"
"I'll fight him in May if he will
agree to match, but he ront. No,
Dempsey will never get a match
out of him cither, becauso he
knows he will be beaten," said Mc
Carthy. "That was a very pretty im
itation of La Blanche's whirling blow
you gave Jack last night' remarked
the reporter.
"That was no imitation. It was or
iginal. I'm infinitely quicker than La
Blanche. He is as slow a3 a stage
horse."
"Do you think Corbett will meet
Joe McAuliffe?"
"I can't say, but if he does, Joe will
demolish him. If he doesn't accept
the challenge though, he would bet
ter retire."

Portland, March IL -Sylvester
Goddard, a young man 27 years of
age, employed as a section hand on
the Portland and Vancouver railroad,
was instantly killed at ItaseJnlc this
morning. As the train Trom the Co
lumbia river was, approaching Hose
dale station, which is between Wo d
lawn and East Portland, the engineer
saw two meu on the track ahead, but
before the train came very near to
them, they both steppe 1 from the
track, and were then entirely oat of
danger. When the train came to
where the men had b?en standing,
one or them suddenly stopped back to
the track with a crowbar in his hand,
and commeueed doing somcihiug.
The engine struck the heavy inn bar,
hurling in with terrific force against
the uufortunate man's head, throwing
him about fifteen feet from the track.
The train was iustanlly
stopped, but when the man was
picked up he was dead,
his neck having lieeu broken. A tele
gram was sent to his father, who lives
at ltogers, Benton county, Ark., ac
quainting him with the death of his
son and asking what disposition should
bo made of the remains It is evident
that Goddard thrust the crowbar in
front of the engine, but what his ob
ject was c.iau)t hi surmise 1. His
death was clearly the result of his own
carelcssnes-, and not the slightest
blame attaches to any one else. The
coroner's inquest was rendered accord
ingly, exonerating the railroad com
pain' from all blame.
