Y.; Oct. 20.—Matty Mat- thew of New York knockea out Stanton Abbott of London, England, in the sev- enth round before 2000 people at the Em- pire Athletic Ciub arena to-night. The men entered the ring at 10 n'cloc_k. Tbgy were apparently in good condition, Mat- thews looking particularly well. They weighed im at 135 pounds and were to go fifteen rounds. In Abbott’s corner were Jim Daly and Mike Leary of Buffalo, while Matthews’ seconds were Jim Hayes and Ed Pringle. In the opening round Matthews went after his man in a hurricane fashion, and throughout the seven rounds he had it all h1s own W He fairly smothered tne Englishman, who seemed completely puz- zled by Matthews’ peculiar style of fight- ing. Matthews would crouch nearly to the floor and then rush, swinging right and leit savagely, and seldom failed to 1and a telling blow. Abbott protested several times wgainst Matthews striking teo low, but Referee Jack Lysaght would not allow the claim., SANTA BARBARA ROBBERY Stage Company’s Safe Cracked at Midday and Its Contents Stolen. Officers Believe the Thief Is a Resi- dent-and an. Expert at the Business. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Oct. 29.—Be- tween 12 and 1 o'clock to-day a daring robbery was perpetrated in the Santa Bar- bara stage office. J. B. Leach, manager of the company, had stepped out to lunch, leaving theoffice doors open, as was his wont, but the big safe locked with the day combination on. The robber opened the safe and possessed himself of about $30, a goed portion of this money being scattered through fifteen envelopes which had been sent in from various eating stations along tne line. Bach of these envelopes was found torn open and rifled. = The Sheriff and his force are looking for the safecracker, who is evidently an ex- pert in his line. Leach was absent an hour, buf the office was only deserted for some fifteen or twenty minutes of that time. Two stablemen were working in Three months ago the stable was looted at night and a similar sumh taken. Officers believe he i< a resident of Santa Barbara, who by some means was -enabled to possess him- solf of the day combination of the lock. ——— MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED. - Through a Torn Scrap of Paper the . ldentity of -James Biggs and His Son Is Established. PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 29.—The identity of the two men whose dead bodies were found near Red Rock on the old Surprise Valley trail in. Lassen County, Cal, in the early part of September was estab- lished to-day in Portland through a letter from the District Attorney at Susanville . to the cierk of the Circuit Court making "inquiries about the case of Biggs vs Goodenough. A torn scrap of paper, a receipt for a fee for filing the complaint, but with the name of the party to whom issued ‘missing, has furnished the infor- mation for which the Susanville authori- ties have been looking ever since Sep- tember 10, when the finding of the bodies whs rep riéd. The meén- who were killed are James Biggs and his son, aged 19 years, who left here a year ago last spring. They worked here for some months. Biggs and hi son were from Iowa. They spoke of h ing a family-of relatives back there, but did not mention any particular locality. Biges and his son were shot- to death while aroqund a campfire. Appearances indicated that the murderer liag tried to’| cremate the bodies after robbing them. The men were entire strangers in that couniry and the supposition was that they were killed oy foreigners who were herding sheep. Two of the men known to bein the gang nfterward sold a band of sheep at Reno, Nev. The suit men- tioned in the slip ot the receipt for a fee wasa mechanic’s lien brourht by Biggs and two companions for labor performed. The case was dismissed May 17, 1895. Be- fore that time the old man and his son started tramping to California. e Washouts Near. Los Angeles.

Kncwa, Among the ‘Masons Throughout the State. A Great Desire to B: Present at the Laying of the Cornerstone Hastened His End. The Masonic fraternity of this City has lost one of its old and highly respected members in the death of Joseph Gardner Baston, who expired at 9:30 o’clock last evening at his residence at 1719s Eddy street. Dropsy of the heart was the cause of death. Mr. Baston was ill in bed on the day preceding the laying of the corner- stone of the Masonic Widows’ ana Orphans’ Home at Decoto, but he arose to attend the ceremonies. On the day following he was again ob- liged to take to his bed, from which he never arose. Mr. Basion was a_member of Mission Lodge 169. He was a Thirty-second degree Mason and belenged to the California GCommandery, K. T. He wasalso a member of the Masonic Veterans’ Association, as well as of the Mystic Shrine and the Masonic Quartet. Mr. Baston was aged 60 years and 1day. He was born in Boston and came to this State in February, 1852. He leaves a THE PHENIX CLUB “WHOOPS IF UP" Thus the Chairman Ex- presses the McKinley Enthusiasm, Colonel Taylor and Ex-Congress- man Stowell Speak to the Point. THE ACT OF 1873 ELUCIDATED. Meny Candidates on Hand—Busy Prep-’ aration for the Great Satur- day Parade. Greek and red fire, skyrockets and pyro- technics galore. This was the introdic- duction to the grand rally of the Pheeaix Club, held at Scottish Hall last evening. It was undoubtedly one of the best meet- ings of the campaign. The assemblage’ was addressed by Coionel C. L. Taylor, ex-Congressman in value why don't tae Democrats buy up all the builion in the country? They would make untold fortunes if Bryan's words are true and he is elected. “But they know his words are untrue and he won't be elected.” After Congressman Stowell had done speaking, the following made short ad- dresses on their own candidacy: T. J. Sullivan, candidate for the Assembly from the Thirty-first; Edward Aigeltio- ger, for Supervisor.from the Twelfth Ward; Edward L. Head, Phil Hammond, Dr. Drucher and J. H. Powers, for School Directors; M. W. Welch, for Senator from the Twenty-third; Leon Jones, for the Assemoly from the Thirty-ninth; C. K, Bonestell, for Saperior Judge. e VETERANS’ CAMPFIRE. Patriotic Addresses Made and a General Good Time Had. The Union Veterans’ Patriotic League held a campfire at B'nai B’rith Hall last night. A great time was enjoyed by all present. The members were entertained by G. Phelps, Eugene Pratt, Charles M. Leary, Captain Currier, A. E. Cohn, Colonel W. R. Smedberg, Colonel Shaw, Charles A. Low and others, who spoke feelingly on the issues now before the Nation, The event of the evening was the read- ing of an original poem, entitled “The Veterans to the Flag,”” nrepared especially for the occasion by Veteran A. P. Van Duzen. The poem Was most enthu- siastically received. The following telegram on the eve of besinning the banquet was sent to Major McKinley at Canton: The veterans at the camp fire send greeting to our next President. WiLLiax J.

I am often ssked,”’ he said, after a few words of greeting, “to say what I will do if I am elected Mayor. Now this ques- tien, I must confess, is rather hard to answer, but I will tell you what I am going to do if I am elected Mayor by reading vou an interview I had with a CaLL reporter, pubiished last Saturday.” Colonel Taylor then read the -interview | as published in Tue CaLr, at tithes mak- ing comments upon certain points.

Frederick Hodges presided. After rou- tine business was disposed of a motion was unanimously adopted indorsing George W. Klder for Superintendent of Streets. E This action was taken on the ground that the people would be ably represented in that office by a competent mecbanic, This will prove a great disappointment | and is entirely irrespective of politics. Colonel Taylor took his seat amid the | most intense enthusiasm. He was fol- lowed by Charles A. Low, candidate for Police Judge, who was also warmly greeted. He said: 1t is not becoming in a candidate for a judicial position to say much about him- seif. His actsshould speak for him. In fact the less a Judge says anywhere the better. *A man should be fairly tried and dis- charged or prcnounce guilty, as the case might be. He should not be scored. The law does not require it, When he steps outside the law and in his private person- ality gives a man a tongue-lashing he does something entirely unnecessary and something a man never forgets.” Judge Low ended by prophesying that tbe duties of Polic» Judge would soon fall less hard mpon the incumbent, because as soon as McKinley is elected prosperity will reign and popr men have less in- centive to crime and drunkenness. Georze Elder was the next speaker. His introduction by the chairman was the signal for loud calls and cheers. “You all know me,” said Elder, “and you know my record. If I am elected I can do no more than I have aiready done for the last two years. IfI am elected I am going to run the office of Superinten- dent of Streets upon a business basis, something that has not been done for a long time. ' “In pursuing the course dictated by duty I may have made some enemies, but if so it has been done in the interest of the City. No man should ieel sore at de- feat caused by dischargine his duty.” Short speeches were then made by O. K. McMurray, candidate for Justice of the Peace, and William T. Kibbler and Charles E. Fredericks, candidates for the school directorship,-and then, with the large a<- semblage shontinez and cheerine and stamping, ex-Congressman W. H. Stowell of Minnesota acknowledged the introdunc- tion of the chairman. “Your chairman has told you that I voted for the act of 1873, and will have something to say to you about it. Yes, [ votéd for the uct of 1873, and I shalt have something to say to you about it.” After relerring to the great business de- pression of the country and the causes therefore.

LT g THE NEW ABE LINCOLN. He Will Appear With Judge Pater- son at the Auditorium To-Night. A. Van R. Paterson, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court, and Frank W. Cushman will speak in the Auditorium thiseven- ing. Mr. Cushman is a distinguished voung lawyer of Tacoma, Wash., who has gained the sobriquet of *The Abe Lincoin of the Northwest’”” by reason of his re- markabie physical and intellectnal resem- blance to the great rail-splitter, emunci- pator and Presidential hero of the nine- teenti century. Mr. Coshman is very tall and angular and, like his great prototype, is as slim as arail. His manner and even his voice are like those of the great Lincoln. He has the same remarkable aptness at story-tell- ing and an elequence that has aroused the highest enthusiasm of the Republicans in the present campaign in Washington. He has stumped the State of Washington for McKinley and made a marked impression wherever he has spoken. Cushrean is also homely both in man- ner and speech, eccentric to a degree, and ;horougmy original in his method of ad- ress. 2 e — ADVICE TO JUDGES. Registrar Hinton on Crosses Marked Too Often on the Ballot. Registrar Hinton has issued cards to in- spectors and judges of election reading as follows: TO INSPECTORS AND JUDGES. First--The names of the same candidates ap- pear under the heading “Democrat electors’” and under the heading “People’s party elec- tors”” If the same name 1s stamped twice on the same ballot the vote must not be invali- dated, but must be counted as one vote only. Second—This rule applies in all cases where the name of a candidate is writien or printed upon the ballot more than once for the same office. Third—Tally the vote cast for each person for the same office after his name as the same appears upon the tally sheet, no matter what his party aesignaiion may be or how many parly designations he may have.

DISCUSSED MANY NEW LAWS. Legislative Candidates Will Be Called Upon to Place Themselves on Record. For a while there were lively times at the meeting of the California Labor Law convention, which convened at 915} Market street iast eveniug, and the tur- moil resulted in a number oi the delezates bolting rather than being compellea to vote in condemnation of the new charter. The stand of the bolting element was not in favor of the proposed document, but the men did not want to vote upon a matter on which they had not received instructions from their respective unions. At the previous meeting a committee was selecled to examine into the merits of the labor laws proposed by the trades unions and by Labor Commissioner Fitz- gerald. Last evening the committee made its report. anlt near the end asked the convention to make some recommen- dation relative to the new charter. P. H. McCarthy at onge moved that a resolution be passed condemninF the char- ter from first to last. Several delegates opposed the motion, stating that the con- vention was called for the purpose of amending and creating laws for the bene- fit of the laboring classes, and not for the purpose of discussing politics or munici- pal affairs, A reading of the call for the convention substantiated this statement, but for all that it brought out a lively little storm. W. McArthur, A. Furaseth ana McCar- thy fired hot shotinto the camp of those who opposed the resolution. While McArthuer and McCarthy were using such words as ‘‘cowards’ and *'afraid,” a body of the Building Trades’ delegates left the hall, declaring that a condemnatory action would break up the convention. The other element prevailed and the charter was duly condemned. The other business was relative to labor lsws. No action was taken upon the pro- posed amendment of the mechanics’ lien law, as the National trades unions have the matter in band. An sdverse decision was taken upon the act providing for the branding of all articles made by convicts, on the ground that it virtually recegnizes the right of convicts 1o manufacture goods in competi- tion with free labor, Act No. 13, providing that no person not a citizen of the United States shall be em- ployed upon State or municipal work calied out a heated argument, but it was approved by a vote of 19 to 12. An amendment to the statutes exempt- ing certain properties from attachment and seizure, providing that the wages of sailors apd fishermen also be exempt, was approved. It was récommended that Labor day be changed to the first Monday in September. It was also recommended that Boards of Supervisors be petitioned to refuse to grant liquor licenses to saloon-keepers who conduct employ ment bureaus. Adverse action was taken on the recom- mendation that stonework on municipal contracts should be done only in the coun- ties paying for the improvements. 1t was decided to send letters to all can- didates for the Senate and Assembly, re- questing that they attend the next meet- ing of the labor convention and sign a pledge to support the proposed laws favored by the convention. The body will meet agaln next Sunday morning. h INK-BOSE_ LUNCHEDN Mrs. Fisher Ames Delightfully Entertains Twenty-Two 7 Ladies. A Congenial Comp:ny Discusses an Elaborate Menu Amid Artistic Surroundings. To Mrs. Fisher Ames belongs the honor of the first elaborate entertainment of the season. : Twenty-two ladies assembled yesterday at1l o’clock at the Ames residence, 1414 California street, in response to luncheon invitations. The company was a con- genial one, the menu delicious, the deco- rations artistic and, last but not by any means least, ‘the hostess tactful and charming. Under these conditions it was 1mpossibie that the luncheon should be otberwise than it was—an unqualifiea success. Pink was the prevailing tone of the decoration. In the cepter of tha large round table was an immense bed of pink rosebuds, four feet in diameter. FPink roses were strewn with artistic careless- ness here and there on the satiny damask ana pink candles in silver candelabra shed a soft radiance over the exquisitely ap- pointed table. Everywhere in the handsome dining- hall there were vases and bowls filled with fragrant pink blossoms, and in the aa- joining drawing-room the same aecora- tions prevailed. eated at tbe table were Mrs. Hager, re. Foutes, Mrs. Edward Martin, Mrs. McKenna, Mrs, Tatum, Mrs. Coit, Mrs. I L. Requa, Mrs. W. P. Morgan, Mrs, W. L Kip, mrs. Boaraman, Mrs, E. B. Pond, Mrs, Alexander Forbes, Mrs. O. P. Evans, Mrs. L. 8.

He Was Special Counsel for the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers in the Worden Case. Carroll Cook has sent the foliowing let- ter to Tue CALL in reply to resolutions adopted by the American Railway Union, advising his defeat because he appeared as special counsel for the prosecution of Harry A. Knox, Thomas Compton, John Mu!len and 8. D. Worden for the murder of Engineer Clark and four United States soldiers during the great railroad strike of 1894. Mr. Cook on that occlslnn‘wu em- ployed by and appeared for the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers and was not in the service of the Southeérn Pacitic Company at all. His letter is as follows: * To the Editor of the Call-SIR: The inciosed excernt from this morning’s CALL, showing o the action taken by the American Railwa Union at a meeting held yesterday, explains itself, Kvowing that you have aiways stood in this community for law and order I respect- fully ask that you take this matter upand make such defense of me as you see fit for hav- ing fully discharged the duties of my profes- sion. I'am confident that the citizensin this community who favor law and order wil! not er! an organizaiion, which attempts to ndorse such an assussination as was com- mitted at Woodland of an innocent engineer and United States soldlers performing their duty, to defeat a candidate, objected to solely 1 counselor-at-law. In the raitway strike cases tried at Wood- land in 1894 Judge J. W. Armstrong of Sacra- mento was employed by and represented the Southern Pacific Company, Mr. Hatch ap- peared as District Attorney, and I was em- | rlored and appeared on behalf of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers (a railway em- ployes’ organization) to_which Samuel Clark, the enginder who was killed, belonged. In those cases I permitted no injustice to be done any one. Newsparer articies containing my argument and showing my conduct in the trial of the cases will fully bear me outin this. The defendants, and each and every one of them, at the conclusion of each trial thanked me for the fair and impartial manner in which 1 hea prosecuted the cases. 1 allowed no im- proper evidence to be introduced and tried the cases strictlv upon legal evidence with the result rhat 8. D. Worden was convicted and his conviction subsequently sustained by the Supreme Court of the State. The morning papers of July 19,1894 (FmE CALL in particular and the ssaramento Bee) g1ve an account of the commencement of pro- ceedings at Woodlaud and show clearly that I appeered in those cases as & representative, not of the Southern Pacific Company, but of ihe Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Meyers, chairman of that organization, who resides in this City, at 338 Capp street, will fully bear me out in tnis assertion. In the newspapers of that date, and especially in the Sacramento Bee, will be found my argument at the preliminary examination, wherein I differed with other counsel who were asso- ciated with me in_prosecuting the case; and, although contending that the defendants ac- | cused should be hela to avswer, I repudiated the contention of other counselin the case that every member of the American Railway Union was guilty. Yours truly, k CArROLL COOK. The following is corroborative: SAN FraNcrsco, Oct. 28, 1896. Carroll Cook, Attorney at Law—DF. have your request of ¢ven date, viz.: T procure for you a copyof the resolntion of subdivision No. 283, Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, authorizing your employment as special counsel to represent the said subdi- vision in_the prosecution of those who were responsible for the derailment of the passen- ger train at trestle two miles west of Sacra- mento, on July 11, 1894, which deratlment resulted in the death of Engineer Sam Clark, & member of the subdivision named. 1 have taken steps to procure the copy asked for, and as soon as it is at hand will forward it to you. 8 | In this connection I will add that, being | one who, in_connection with a_committee of | two of tne members of Leland Stanford Divi- sion No. 283, opened the negotiations beiween you and the suodivision, that resulted in your employment as special counsel, as named above, I am in a position 10 say that, s sucn specia. counsel, you acted as the r('gresenuf- tive only of the subdivision named. One of its members had been murdered, and it was the desire of the subdivision, while laying not one finger’s weight on any innocent man, to do all | possible to bring those who were 'guilly to | | Il justice. Hence your employment. Yours truly, F. V. MEYERS, Chairman, G. C. A., B. L. E,, 8. P. System. AMONG THE MINERS, Return of Samuel M. Shertridge From a Trip in the Mountains. Honest and Sturdy Representatives of the Typical Gold Diggers Are Solid for McKinley. Samuel M. Shortridge returned last night, aiter a week’s successful campaizn- | ing in remote and out-of-the-way mining districts of Amador, Calaveras and Tuo- lumne counties. . These are the historic regions from which Bret Harte drew the materials for his charming idyis of Californian life be- fore the chief indusiry of the State was changed to fruit-raising, but the same whole-sonled, open-handed, brave miner is there to-day in the canyons and among the pine-clad hills. i Mr. Shortridge reports thai he is more than pleased with the result of his mis- sionary work among the bhard-working miners. He was cordially received, and what he had to say was attentively lis- tened to. .
