FRED BRIGGS WILL Yr'ED I.M F.N HI-: tllll IIIH1 tGK 'I'll NK'I'TIK Kli IN I IIH AI.O. It III I lie lleKianliii; of the of a ConrtNlilp In KtfNtenre Since I A marriage license was issued In Chicago yesterday to Fred A. liriggs and Nettie M. I'arker, both of Minneapolis. The former is well known in Minneapolis, where he has resided many years past.

He has been engaged in enterprises of various natures. He was also manager of the lecturing tour of I (avid Bennett Hill throughout the Northwest a few years ago, and has been connected with a large number of lecturers and theatrical companies. The prospective bride is equally well known here, where she has resided, until a year or two ago, since her childhood. When she left Minneapolis she went to Chicago, and became a member of a comedy company playing in one of the Chicago theaters. Her work there as an actress has been successful, and she has received much favorable mention from Chicago critics.

Six years ago Mr. Briggs became enamored of her, and the marriage license issued yesterday is the beginning of the end of a courtship which began In 18M. Mr. Hriggs will return to Minneapolis with his bride Wednesday or Thursday, and will reside during the summer months at ke Johanna, where he has furnished a cottage. HIS LIFE IS QUIET "HONKST JOHN" KF.I.I.KV t'Olt 4 109 Til OF THK PAST.

lie Leaves ew ork for Minneapolis, and Will Make Ills Home Here Wii Formerly the King of the Sport, and the Might Hand Man of ilin nulliian Mr. Keller Talk. KutrrtalnliiKly of the Past In I'UKillam and Other Mallei n. Speak the name of John Kelley in communities where modern sports are and the chances are that it will not arous.e even passing interest. Say you mean "Honest John Kelley," and at once there will be interested faces, asking "what about it." Honest John Kelley, probably the best known sporting man in the country, is now a citizen of Minneapolis, lured here by the fame of the climate and the people of the metropolis of the northwest.

Several years ago he could hardly have drifted in with the great tide of humanity unnoticed and unknown, as he has done now, for interviewers would have been after him. and he would have been asked to tell of all the latest news concerning the then great John L. Sullivan, for this Honest John Kelley for many years was the trainer and mouthpiece for the greatest pugilist the world ever saw, and the most noted ring master and referee that ever stepped within the ropes of a 24-foot ring. "I have quit the sporting life," said John, speaking to The Tribune yesterday. "You see, I am getting old now, and am a Benedict, and I think it is about proper to settle down, so I have gone into the publishing business, and am located in Minneapolis.

I like the place, from what I have seen of it, so far. and I think I will like it more as I remain. "You see, I am getting old now, and it I. about time to quie4 a bit, so now I am a peaceful citizen. Times are not what they were In sporting matters, and then, although a man makes money, he has to spend it freely.

YS'hen you mix up with fighters, if you don't let your money out like water they will call you a short skate, and you are not in it for a minute. So now I have left New York and all the old environments, and come to Minneapolis to make a try at it. i I am located in the Sykes block, with a con- ern that handles choice literature." I "How long is it since you saw Sullivan?" asked The Tribune. "About, four months ago. He was a sight.

He looks every bit of till years old, weighs 280 pounds, and bis face is not only fat, but a mass of scars. One would not think such a man could get to be such a wreck. I think the good Lord made that man Just to show the rest of us that we were only weak, puny infants. There wa never a man like him in the world. YY'hy.

I have seen him. when he was at bis best, on his feet, from Monday morning until YY'ednesday night, drunk all the time, without a wink of sleep or rest, and after a few hours of rest he would be fit to ship any fighter in the world. Talk about pugilists I ought to know about him, and I say there never was a man like him. He could stand still and poke out a blow with either of his bauds that would floor any of them, until his health gave out. Then it was different." Mr.

Kelley claims to be 48 years of ae, but he does not look over 40. He is a fine specimen of physical manhood, with an arm like a granite curb, and a complexion like a baby. He is a pleasant conversationalist, with a fund of Information, and a half hour Is well spent in his company. His wife is in Minneapolis with hint and he is simply a plain, every-day citizen now, though once the central figure in pugilism and kindred sports of the country. He says he will not enter Into any schemes here in line with his old following.

"I have made lots of money, spent lota, and can make lots of it now. I know how to be a gentleman, and to be a gentleman should be the height of any man's ambition, no matter what his calling. No calling bars a man from that." This is Honest John Kelley's maxim, and if report is true he has always lived up to it. He will always be proud of having been the right hand man of John L. Sullivan, even though he is out of the sporting business.

His fjee indicated that s.imcihing heavy was on his mind, his actions showed that he scarcely knew where he was at. while his rambling talk, muttered almost iui'oherently, proved thai there was something wrong.

He rushed into the Cen'ral station and began to talk. The officers dually quieted him and learned that he hail lout some money. Then they directed him to police headquar ters at the city hall, but that money matter was on nis mind, and ne returned to tne station. Thereupon Officer F. YY'.

Johnson thought it time to investigate. The man stated that he had taken a bed In a cheap lodging house en Bridge square. He had fallen asleep, but in a short time he awoke, couldn't find his money, and off to the station he rushed, even leaving his coat on the bed. I The hotel clerk said no one was near him, and that he could not have lost his money. But the stranger insisted, ami finally the i policeman star'ed in to sParch.

i Every nook, every crevice, every corner of the dusty old room was peered into, but i no money was forthcoming. As a last re sort. Officer Johnson decided to overhaul ihe man's clothes. The fellow by this time was so excited that he could scarcely contain himself. He was trembling with fear and anger and grief.

The search was started. Every pocket was gone into. In some there were found matches, jack-knives, books, letters, papers, tobacco and other articles. Finally the policeman pulled out a few bills from an out-of-the-way pofket. They amounted to $30.

the sum the man said he had lost. "Well, what does this mean?" asked Johnson, as he held the money up to the light. The man's sorrowful countenance sud denly broke into a guh of sunlight. He was almost too happy for expression. "YY'here did you find them?" he anxiously Inquired.

YVhen told, he said he had forgotten putting the money in that pocket, and he could not see how he had missed the bills. "Anyhow." he continued. "I'm not going to stay In this place all night, or I might not have the money in the morning. Officer, can you direct me to a good hotel?" The patrolman did so, but when he was told that it would cost 75 cents for a room for the night, the fellow darted out of the door like a ray of light. YVhen he met another policeman.

wanted him to escort him up to YVashington avenue, where he thought he might be able to get a cheap bed, but still be safe. "It was worth a week's wages," said one of the officers, "to see his face change when he found his monev."

It was a very dry building, with inflammable contents and burned very rapidly. The firemen found they had a fight on their hands, and for an hour or more they worked valiantly.

It was at 24 Main street northeast. In a structure occupied by Michael J. Lydon, as a carriage shop and washing machine factory. The fire caught at the rear end in some shavings and spread rnpidly. The building stands on the river bank and soon the entire rear end was abluze.

The firemen found some difficulty in having to fight lite flames from the steep sides of the bank, and the west end of the factory was badly damaged. The loss on the building will probably not exceed $150. However, it contained some valuable machinery and a well selected stock, some of which was destroyed and much of hich was damaged.

Two deputy game wardens got a run for their money in South Minneapolis last night.

I'ursued by a mob, they took refuge in a store, and then telephone" for the patrol wagon to afford them protection. What angered the crowd is said to have been an indiscreet act of one of the officials in drawing a weapon on a man found fishing with a dip net. No arrests were made, but undoubtedly the officials will have learned a lesson which may prove valuable to them in the future. The two deputies found a man and several boys using dip nets in the Mississippi stttral blocks below the Washington avenue brldae. They seized the ticts, but thin act aroused the anger of the fisheiman, ami he remonstrated.

One of the deputies became excited, for he is said to nave pulled out a revolver. "Jlon't draw that gun. especially If it is loaded.

"1 am not trying to Interfere with you; but I do want to talk a little sense to you," was the mill reply. Things began to grow warmer. The crowd increased in size, and when the Incident was noised about the mutteritigs of tne mob began to grow louder and more formidable. The warden, saw they were in danger, and. with this nets, they made their way up to avenue.

The names of the two deputies could not be learned, but the people on the flats did not hesitate to condemn their action. It is stated that fishing is very poor below the gus house. The only dsn which can be caught are suckers and buffalo, and the upon is indulged in simply for pleas-tire the fish are said to be worthless as food. A deputy arrested Jacob Kadlec two years ago tor using a dip net, but the casj was dismissed in the municipal court.

An Associated Press dispatch yesterday mentioned a meeting of table manufacturers In Milwaukee. There are four concerns in Minneapolis and vicinity manufacturing extension and parlor tables the North St. Paul Table company, controlled by tha Ltigers, who have their office in Miunei-olis; the St. Anthony Furniture company, St. Anthony Park: the Barnard-Cope Manufacturing company, who make tables iu connection with a line of chamber suites, and the Minneapolis Office and School Furniture company.

J. A. Luger, of the North St. Paul Table company, and Friend Brace, St. Anthony Furniture company, returned from Milwaukee yesterday, and give some details of what the table manufacturers are attempting to do.

They were authorized to represent the Barnard-Cope Manufacturing company and the Office and School Furnishing company. In addition to the companies with which they are connected. This made the representation from the Minnesota concerns complete. The meeting was attended by all of the menufacturers of tables in YVisconsin. Mr.

Luger says that there has been an advance in the cost of lumber, which enters largely into table making, of fully 20 per cent, and that the increased cost of labor, glue, varnish and hardware involves an Increase in cost of fully another 1JJ per cent. Tables have been sold relatively lower than any class of furniture. It Is found necessary they claim to do something, since the advance in the prices for tables has not been greater than six or seven per cent. It was decided at the meeting to advance prices about 30 per cent. The manufacturers have therefore returned home to get out, new list3 on this basis, a step which has been imperative by the sharp advance in all the material entering into their goods.

Tbey clnim thai there, is no probability of a trust or combination being made by the table makers, and the meeting held in Milwaukee was for conference and mutual co-operation in securing the higher prices, which, they say, the situation demands.

Friday night he retired to his room, feeliut; In the best of spirits, and an-tlcpiating with great pleasure the trip to St. Paul Saturday, in company with his fellow clergymen. Yesterday Mr.

Penney went to his father's room, intending to awaken him. Kn-tering the chamber he found that the gas had been left turned on, and Mr. Robertson was lying in his bed lifeless. It is thought that when the aged man had turned the gas out before retiring, his hand trembled sutlicieiitly to turn the stopcock partly on. The members of the family retired about the same time, the door of Mr.

Robertson's room had been closed, and the fumes of gas had not been discovered until Mr. Penney went to call on his father.

His long career had been one of constant and faithful to the spiritual and moral welfare of countless people who have listened to his eloquence.

"Scorching again, old man," cried one of the prisoners, as the patrol wagon turned into lockup alley, and a curious crowd "rubbered" as if their necks would be stretched off. "He certainly was good to me." said another, and the crowd laughed. But when the Iron bars shut out their view, and the youthful trio hail nothing but whitewashed walls to gaze at, they began to realize their doom, and the minutes of their imprisonment began to grow Into hours, at least so it seemed to them. It was an ideal evening for a spin. Of course it was a little chilly, but then a spurt of a block or two helped to warm the blood.

And that asphalt on Park avenue was so tempting, who could help but ride fust just a short That is where the boys marie a mistake. There was a mounted policeman that is, he was mounted on a bicycle watching them, and he could scorch a little himself. While the boys were tearing up the pavement he was alter them, and as they slowed up a little for a breathing spell, he cut across them into the curb and they had to come to a slop. "Well, boys, you are my prisoners, so Just come along," said Officer Fred YViiliani-soii, as he mopped the perspiration off his forehead and gave his wheel an admiring glance. The policeman and his prisoners walked up Twenty-fourth street to the patrol box at Fifth avenue, and the patrol wagon waa called.

A crowd of wheelmen had gathered, and they Joked both with the otlicer and the lads. As the last of the trio of alleged scorcher, was hustled into the wagon with his wheel, he Issued Ihe following challenge to the policeman: "I'll bet. otlicer. I can beat you in a 100 yard dash." but Williamson was busy by this time in cleaning the mud off his machine. On the way to the station the prisoners had a happy time, and they did not mind the "scorching" remarks made by passing bicyclists.

The hoys gave their names as Frank Gardner. Guy Clarence Hanson, and they will plead to the charge of exceeding thi ordinance speed limit of 10 miles an hour. The oldest cf the trio Is only IS, while the other two are less than 15 years. They belong to good families, but the police use no discrimination when ihey are ufter fast riders. "YVell.

I don't know how I'm going to eet out tonight." woefully sairl one of the younger boys. "My folks are all out of tow 11."
