Holcomb Defeats Robinson for a $20 Purse—Blood Flowed in the Frosty Air—The Winner. A desperate prize fight took place last night across the District line. It was not one of those fakes engineered in the inter- est of the sweatcloth, roulette table, shell game and bar, but a sincere affray, {llus- trated with earnest whacks, flayed flesh, splashes of blood and the encouraging yells and jeering erfes of 160 enthusiastic spec- comb and William Robinson, both Wash- ington negroes. It was @ fight to a finish, with four ounce gloves, for gate receipts, Queensbury rules to govern. Holcomb was declared victor in the fourteenth round on the count of time. The decision of the Teferee was not wholly satisfactory. Bach wan fought at about 150 pounds. They were well matched as to physique, but Hol- comb outclassed his antagonist ‘as a ring tactician. Robinson was full of vitality and force. The fight was to have come off be- tween 9 and 10 o'clock, but it was long past the laiter hour when the preliminary rag chewing incidental. to these events ceased and business began. A crude ring was roped off im an open field. There was no shelter from the frosty night, but everybody sought an antidote for the cold in strong drink. Referee and time keepers were chosen, corners tossed up for and well sea- soned gloves selected and adjusted. Then the principals stripped to the waist, shook hands and opened the mill. For'a few zeconds the men pendulated their forearms and each viclousiy surveyed the other. Hol- comb seemed to feei as though he had a walkover, while Robinson promised to offer severe opposition. The fozmer led confi- | shot followed ty a slam in the face that caused @ stream of cluret to trickle down | his chin. He countered on his adversary’s head and got an upper cut in the wind that Staggered him against the ropes. They clinched, broke away, rushed, met hard and landed @ series of resounding thuds on each ethers’ body. Betting, which had been % to $8 on Holcomb, with few takers, changed | to even money. ‘The breath of the fighters |and the vapors from their naked bodies, condensed in the crisp atmosphere, arose in small white clouds. Plenty of Encouragement. ‘The crowd began to grow excited. Scores | of men shrieked: ‘You've got him, Monk,” | “Swat him in the wind, Charlie,” “Don’t mind his face,” “Fifteen to ten I can pick the winner,” “Watch his rushes,” “Swing with your right duke,” “Golly, but that’s the time you smashed him," “He's done for,” “He's groggy.” “Put him to sleep,” “Five to four Monk does his man,” Whack, | Whirr, bang, break away there, time. The men went to their corners, were blanketed with coats, rubbed with coarse towels by one man, and fanned by anow- er; one admirer would rub down the mus- cles of the arms and legs, one more would press the heads, another would ge away the Dicod from the face and yet another would furnish his champion water with which to wash the mouth and gargle the throat. The patrons of the sport urged them on. At the call of time they found the center of the ring, sparred for an opening. dodged, ducked, hit like battering rams, clinched, wrestled, and rolled over. Several times the referee had to drag them apart. Everybody a: the ring side was shouting advice to the fighters and hurlin anathentas at the referee because of alleg. favoritism. The slaps and slams of the pugilists could be heard above the vocal riot. Peace-loving men would yell, “Gentle- men! Gentlemen! You don't help the fight by howling,” “Shut your mouth,” “Stop talking through your hat,” “Put him out,” “Slug him,” “Give them a show,” “Let the best man win,” “No ref- erees. outside the ‘Watch that time,” “Whew! That's a lick and square in the jaw.” Thus the mill went on. Round after round was fought. For- tune smiled first on one candidate for the laurel belt and then upon the other, The men, wet with sweat and blood, fought Uke panthers are said to fight. — Gets the Decision. In the tenth round Robinson seemed to be the winner. Holcomb appeared to be get- ting faint. He rallied furiously, fought his enemy against the ropes and at short range pounded him with kody punches. In the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth rounds Robinson grew wild and began to go down on his knees. Several times the referee began to make the count, but the man would always respond with a few seconds to his credit. At the end of the fourteenth round, one of the ring stakes was down and the people began to trespass on the arena. The throng grew so demonstrative that a functionary rushed into the ring and declared that the fight should be called off. Robinson had in- Jured his band, and hearing this declaration had removed his glove. He was putting it on when the referee began the last count. Robinson did not answe: and the cry went up, “Holcomb wins the fight.” The trainer of that gentleman sprang to the center of the ring and shouldering the victor both joined in the enthusiasm and left the scene. Half a minute later Robinson rushed in, wanted moze war and volunteered to as- sault anyone who stood between him and his foe. The winner received $20 and the vanquished #. After a few of the usual side fights, the torches which had lit the scene were extinguished, and everybody traveled cityward. Holcomb first began to use his fists at the old Globe Theater. Here he defeated all comers in his class. He has done a good deal of sparring at local vaciety show- houses, did up Isaac Mingen in three rovnds and traveled with the Muldoon com- bination. He wants to meet anybody in his class in the District of Columbia, Maryland or Virginia. This was his second finish fight, —__ Marriage Licenses.

Three Hundred Singers to Lead the Muste at Christian Endeavor Con- ventions. ‘The first meeting of the new choir for the Christian Endeavor Union of the District of Columbia occurred last evening in the lecture room of the First Baptist Church, corner 16th and O streets. About 20 members responded to the call of the director, Mr. Percy 8. Foster. Matters tive to the organization, membe: permanent officers, &c., were voted tobe referred to a committee consist- ing of the director, Messrs. W. S. Mc.Ar- thur, H. H. Ayer, Wm. A. H. Church and Misses Ella C. Lyman, Annie Walker and Grace E. Fox. There are now some 275 singers on the roll, and it {s confidently expected that the choir will have an average attendance of 300 members. It is designed that this choir shall lead all the music of the great mass meetings of the union, and that at each service special an- thems be rendered by it alone. The next mass meeting of the union will take place Friday, October 27, in the Church of the Covenant, on Connecticut avenue, gnd on this occasion the choir will make its first public appearance and sing two selections: “Oh, Let Me Anchor,” and “The Lord ts My Light.” Some of the best musical talent of our city is already connected with this move- ment, and the singing last night was of such ‘a fine character as to already make the chorus a great success. —. — How to Get Rid of Fallen Leaves. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In September of last year, jrst previous to the eucampment of the G. A. R. in our city, I addreceed to you a communication, which you did me the honor and the public the benefit of publishing. In that commun- ication I called attention to the filthy con- weeks ard asked tf the‘ people would not each take care of his own section of street and pavement for that occasion, at least. I will not say that I was surprised, for that would imply a lack of belief that a love of neatness and order is possessed by our peo- | ple, but I was very much gratified at the almost general acceptance of the suggestion for, positively, along my line of observa- tion, the streets were never cleaner than during the week of the encampment, when they were not touched by the machine sweepers. Now, if you will permit me, I would like to make another suggestion. It is that, during these davs of leaf falling, householders will sweep their parkings and Pavements in the evenings of the nights on which the street cleaning is to be done by the city authorities. All the accumulated leaves and dirt will then be taken up and removed by the city carts. But, as it ts now, the mornings after the streets have been swept, almost before many people have had a chance to notice that they have been cleaned, the leaves from pavements and parkings are again swept into. them and they have no appearance of cleanil- ness. Some housekeepers already do this and 1 assure you there ts a different appearance of the premises in front of such houses. Why will not all do it? I believe they will if you will give them this hint from CONDUCTOR. —_>___. Teo Prevent Ca! Car Accidents, To the Editor of The Evening Star: While reading in The Star about the cable car accidents to persons who alight from one car and are hurt by another car moving in an oppesite direction, I am reminded that last week while‘In Chicago the cable cars ‘there had no such accident, though they carried several hundred thousand a day, and often men, boys and women jump- ed off while the trau were in motion. Guess why? Well, I'll tell you. As two trains approached each other moving in op- posite directions each gripman rang his bell violently. If the Washington. and Georgetown would try this in our city, whose streets are about one-twentieth as crowded as those of Chicugo, such accidents might be greatly reduced. ‘The trafilc was not confined to the fair, for the people seemed to be alighting and boarding the cars all along the route. Strong guards were placed on the sides and fronts of the cars to within two inches of the track. To prevent accidents Ike poor Jackson's that happened near the corner of llth street and Pennsylvania avenue, why can not a lght, perpetual alarm be used on each car to give a similar warning to the alarms used at steam railroad crossings? Such an alarm would certainly {many an absent-minded ‘pened to eross in front | ley car. warn person who hap- of a cable or trol- 7: ——.__ Baptist Church Fair. There was a large gathering last evening at the opening of the fair and bazaar given by the Sunday school of the Third Baptist Church, corner of 5th and Q streets, for the church edifice erected last summer. The fair was opened by the pastor, the Rev. James H. Lee, in a brief speech, to which Miss Fannie Ware, superintendent of the Sunday school, responded. The following are the tables: Art gallery, paintings by the Misses Ware and Bolden, conducted by Addie Thornton; tin table, Miss Hattie Wallace and others; china ta- ble, Miss Catherine Edwards; fancy table, articles on which were made and donated to the fair by the teachers of the Sunday school, conducted by the Misses Ware, Bol- den and White; post office, Misses Lacy and White; supper table, Rose of Sharon Club; refreshments, pupils of the Sunday school: furniture department, Misses Bolden and Jones, and jewelry table, Mrs. Boyd.

The ladies interested in the institution have been unsparing in their efforts to continue the noble work, and many adverse circumstances have been overcome. With winter and all its hard- ships coming on it is especially desirable that the p:oper care of a peculiarly un- fortunate class should not be restricted by @ lack of funds. In order to avoid this dan- ger the ladies have decided to give a tea on Wednesday evening at the home on the eld Linthicum place, Georgetown Heights, between 3 and 5 p.m. Donations in any amount for this purpose or for the support of the home will be gladly received by the managers, and it is hoped that there will be @ large attendance at the tea. Donations may be sent to Mrs. Charles 8. Hill at The Milton or to Miss Strong, 1411 H street ‘The following donations have already been received: Justice Strong, $10; Mrs. James Johnston, $0; Messrs. Saks & Co., $1 | Marcellus Baily, 5; —EE Doctors and Coroners. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The first criticism of Dr. Woodward to section 1 of 3. 1015 would indicate that he has not a very high opinion of the ethics of the legal profession. In his second criti- cism he says ‘the actual court work is very small part of the whole amount per- formed.” Here he makes a big mistake. The entire work of the coroner is court work with the exception of making the au- topsy. I would like to know what part of the Ford's Theater inquest was not court work and what part, however infinitesimal, calied for the expert knowledge of the phy- sician? It 1s the function of the coroner's office to ferret out foul play in cases of un- known death, and it therefore belongs to the judicial branch of the District govern- | ment, and there is no more reason why the District Commissioners should appoint the coroner than that they should appoint the other officials of our court system. In eritl- | elsing section 11, Dr. Woodward wants to know “what becomes of such prisoner at the expiration of twenty-four hours if the finding is adverse to him?” In answer to this, the coroner (see section 7) passes the case on to his superior, the District attor- | ney, who has already ample power in such matters. ‘There need be no fear that the ; law will fail through ‘any lack of funds. | Should Congress see fit to enact such a law, money will, no doubt, be | to carry {t out. In Dr. White’ in reference to the Connecticut la three-fourths of the unknown deaths are acted upon finally by the medical examiners and require no legal investigation, since there is no suspicion of crime,” he evidently means by legal Investigation, investigation subsequent to the inquest; for the investi- gation at the inquest is a legal one, present- ing the anomaly of a doctor doing a law- yer’s work. ‘The question arises here who is the best Judge of suspictous circumstances in the case of unknown’ death? The trained law- yer whose professional interests are staked and whose paid duty it 1s to scent crime at any distance, or the physiclan whose pro- fessional interests, and whose responstbil!- ty is limited to making a scientific autopsy? As a matter of fact, both are necessary to the work, the doctor to examine the body, and the trained criminal lawyer to cover the wider field of inquiry that must exist in all these cases. The fact that three-fourths of all unknown deaths are finally acted | 8pon by physicians, indicates the weakness of the Connecticut law, for what guaran- tee has the public that Important clues to cases of foul play have not been overlooked by these medical examiners who know nothing of criminal practice’ —— The New Western Senators All Right. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Sta I would like to reply to Mr. Daviddon’s article In Saturday's Star, headed “Down With the Senate." Mr. Davidson takes oc- casion to abuse the new western Senators. He says: “The premature admission of wes- tern states, comprising spare and crude communities, has wholly changed the char- acter of the Senate, The Senators from the Uittle states, some of which have a popula- tion less than that of a county in an east- ern or middle state, instead of being modest and retiring, are the most blatant and in- trusive of all.” Does Mr. Davidson mean to say that the representatives of the only new states that have representation on the floor of the Senate are “blatant?” As a resident of that new, crude country, I can hardly allow the gentleman's remarks to pass unneticed. North and South Dakota | are represented on the floor of the Senate by gentlemen whose remarks during tl present debate have been anything but “blatant.” or their conduct Intrusive. If the “little states,” as the gentleman terms them, haven't as many people as some oth- ert ts not because the states are “little, for their size 1s such that enterprising hust ling eastern men have emigrated to them, and men who went out there from the east represent a class of men,figuratively speak: ing, who amount, individually, to 100 of some men who have remained east, and if, after a residence in the west ten or twelve years, they, by their hustling qualities,come two the front and are elected to the United States Senate, it ts because of these quall. tes, which cannot be termed “blotant,” talk or wind are not the qualifications which make our United State Sena’ have been si possessing push, energy and ability, and if in the performance of their duty they should want to be heard, we think it very niuch out of place for the gentleman to term the remarks of the new western Sena- tors from the “little western states” as “blatant” or “intrusive.” FL S. In the Supreme Court. In the United States Supreme Court yes- terday a number of cases we: advanced to a hearing before a full bench. Among them are the Northern Pacific mineral land sults, the “Big Four’ and other Indiana railroad tax suits, the North Dakota eleva- tor tax case, involving the legislature's right to fix elavator tolls, and the Texas grenger cases, In which Judge McCormick decided illegal railroad rates made by the state commission. The Ann Arbor railroad case, artsing out of the committal of Kn- ginee= Lennon of the Lake Shore for re- fusal to obey a court order to handle Ann Arber business during a strike, was set for argument the second Monday in November.
