'THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1896 THE EASTERN MEN PUNCHED 700 HARD Rochette and Anthony De- feated in Ten-Round Contests. Spirited Boxing Bouts That Took Place in Woodward’s Pavilion. Gans, the Colored Pugilist, Knocked Rochette Out With a Right on the Chin. Young Mitchell, who is director-general of the Occidental Athletic Club, refereed the contest held at Woodward’s Pavilion last evening. | Jimmy Anthony, the sturdy little Australian pugilist, fought ten rounds with Jack Ward of Newark, N. J. Anthony was the aggressor in every round and twice during the mill he had his opponenton “Queer street,” but Ward invariably came up to the scratch at the call of time looking fresh. The East ern man scored the greatest number of leads during the mill and frequently planted a swinging right on the Austra- lian’s neck at long range. Anthony was handicapped in reach of arms and failed to administer punishment excepting at close range. His blows were frequently short, as Ward kept continually on the re- treat and thereby avoided punishment. Young Mitchell gave his decision in favor of Ward, he having landed the most blows. Many of the spectators thought that a draw would have given better sat- isfaction. Gans, the colored Baltimorean, is a very polisked fighter. He fiddled around Ro- chette until the fourth round, when the opportunity be hoped for came, and as quick as a flash _he planted his rignt fist on Rochette’s chin and the San Francisco boy went down. He regained his feet, however, bofore ten seconds were counted, and fought his opponent while in a dazed state until the timely sound of the gong saved him from what certainly. would have been & ciean knockout. ‘While rest- ing in his corner the seconds of Rochette threw up the sponge, as they were only too well aware that Rochetie was a gone goose, 3 o1Jim Neil, the horseman, sprang into the ring aiter the fighters had left for their dressing-rooms and mage a-go-as-you lease speech. He said that his boy f‘hwkins would give Gans another chance to redeem his lost laurels by fighting him a ten-round contest under the auspices of the Occidental Club under the same con- ditions they foucht in the East when “honest’” John Kelly gave tne fight to Hawkins. Several expert judges who witnessed last evening’s fight were of the opinion that Gans could easily dispose of Hawkins or any otaer fighter of his class in the State. The contest by rounds are as fol- lows: It was exactly 9 o'clock when Jimmy Anthony of Australia and his seconds, Arthur er and Frank Savage, entered the ring. J Ward of Newark and his attendants Hines, Herford and Sullivan, soon followed. The fighters scaled exactly 115 pounds, and they looked to be trained to the hour. Master of Ceremonies Billy Jordan announced that contest would be ten rounds, and that - Young Mitchell would referee the bout in the interest of square sport. In the first round Anthony got home some telling short-arm blows, but Ward landed sev- eral long-distance shots, which made Anthony Took a bit cautious. the second round Ward, very cool, cut Anthony lefteye and very cleverly got away from ‘the Australian’s rushing tactics, The Baltimore lad had certainly the best of the mill up to this point of the game. In the third round Anthony opened the game by planting & good right on Ward’s ribs, but the with & straight left in the face. who was fighting a right over the Both men were fighting cleverly. Anthony was the sggressor and Ward danced awsy from him, but just &s the gong sounded he swung his right and caught Anthony a heavy punch on the side of the jaw. In the fourth round Anthony landed a heayy right in the stomach, but Ward got home on | the Australian’s head very hard. In a rally that followed Anthony smashed Ward on the nose, drawing blood. The Australian now commenced to bore in upon his épponent and scored a hard body punch at short range. In the fifth round Anthony had Ward on the retreat and landed a swinging right as the Baltimore boy attempted to sidestep. Ward relied entirely on & right swing, which he fre- quently landed on the Australian’s neck, but generally too far back to have the desired effect. Anthony had all the best of the latter part of this round. In the sixth round Anthony rushed his game and puzzied Ward by his movements. The Baltimore lad was continually on the retreat, but Le lended the most biows nevertheless. In the middle of the round Ward slipped and fell, but was up quickly. Anthony landed a heavy right-hander on Ward’s jaw just as the gong sounded. In the seventh round there wassome hot ex- changes, but Anthony came within an ace of doing his man with a left-hand swing in the stomach, which he followed up by a right on neck. Ward went to his corner a very sick looking man.: In the eighth round Anthony rushed Ward and some hot give-and-take blows resulted. The Baltimore boy did well, but his blows } were not as effective as those of the Aus- tralian. Ward broke ground repeatedly. In the ninth round Anthony had to chase Ward all over the ring, and when the gong sounded the man from Baltimore was very weak. Anthony’s face showed the signs of the punches he received at long range. The tenth round was the most exciting of all. Anthony chased Ward from post 1o post, and in's0 doing received several hard swings on the ck. Authony could not get close enough to'his opponent to inflict severe pun- ishment. At the end of the mill Anthony was certainly the fresher man,.as Ward retired to his corner in & very weak condition. Young Mitchell gave a decision in favor of Ward, but there were many pecple pres- ent who thought that Anthony was enti- tled to the award It was stated after the fight that Ward injured his right hand badly in the fourth round when he caught Anthony on the head with a swinging blow. The betting was $10 to $4 in favor of Anthony. The second event of the eyening was a ten-round contest between Charlie Ro- chette of this City and Joe Gans (colored) of Baltimore, Md. The referee selected was Young Mitchell. First round—Gans “led wickedly with right at body and Rochette countered on neck. Ro- chette was swinging wilg, and in a few sec- onds landed a heavy left on Gans’ jaw. Both landed lefts on neck. Rochette stopped Gans with & rattling good lefton the chin. Rocnette had ail the best of the round, but Gans was fighting cool and seemingly Sizing up his game. E In the second round Gans moved up close and landed a stiff left swiug on Rochette’s neck. Guns made matters very warm for Ro- chette in a rally, Janding right and ieft on Ro- chetic’s neck. He also gave Rocnette a warm reception just as the gong sounded. In the third round there were some very clever blows exchanged and honors were about even. Gaus, however, missed by an ioch a left hook, which would have done damage had it landed. In the fourth round Rochette scored two gmd blows on his opponent’s ribsand neck. ans moved quickly to one side and, as Ro- chette followed him, the colored lad turned qnickl{anfl catching the Californian off his guard he planted a right on Rochette’s chin which landed Charles on his back. Rochette regained his pins after veing down seven or eight seconds and fought Gans gamely against the ropes, although in a very dazed state. The gong sounded, and when Rochette was Ezgfi’z."d to his corner his seconds gave up the Held for Perjury. - Frederick Baaser, a saloon-keeper, was yes- terday held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Joachimsen on a charge of receiver returned the compliment | perjury in $2000 bonds.. The cHarge arose out of a charge of battery made by Baaser’s father- in-law, John Kidn@y, ex-lieutenant in Coxey’s army. About & month ago Kidney went to Baaser’s saloon and because Baaser refused to give him liquor Kidney threatened to kill him. Baaser was compelled to take a bungstarter and beat Kidney over the head with it. When the case was heard Baaser made a general denial of the whole business, and the Judge grdemu acharge of perjury to be made against im. WIDOW LAURA JAMES. er Father Testifies That He Was Told of the Contract Marriage With the Old Doctor. Judge Coffey has admitted in evidence the contract of marriage that was signed by the late Dr. Charies A. James, aged 60, and Laura Milen James, aged 20, the latter being now an applicant for the $30,000 es- tate left by the deceased. There was a great deal of argument over the admission of the contract in which Dr. James and Laura Milen asserted that they took each other “for husband and wife in the sight of God and man.” Attorney Shadburne, who represents the Eastern heirs, thought the paper was of no value, as its signing'did not appear to have been foliowed by the assumption of marital obligations and duties as re- quired by the laws of California. Attorneys Hart and Cotton insisted that the document ought to be admitted in evidence, and that if it is not sufficiently supported to establish its valiaity the court may in the end reject it. Judge Coffey acquiesced in this view, and the taking of testimony was begun. Dr. Theodore Milen, father of Mrs. James, the claimant, testified on his daughter’s behalf. He said that he re- ceived a letter from Dr. James asking for permission to marry nis daughter Laura, and had not replied directly to the aged suitor, but had written from Redding to Mrs, Milen, Laura’s stepmother, express- ing his assent. Soon after that he re- turned from Reading, and he thus de- scribes his meeting with Dr. James: At about 7:30 that evening I met the doctor in our rooms. My wife had a luncheon pre- pared, consisting of tamales, crackers, pickles and beer or wine. When Dr. James came in I said, “Doctor, I suppose this is my son.” He said, “Yes; if this is your daughter, for she is my wife.” Then we had lunch. They remained about an hour and a half. That was the evening of the 12th of January, 1895. I met him the next (Sunday) evening, the 13th, in his office— | his back parior. His wife, my daughter, was there. Iasked him: “Doctor, how about the marriage contract? My people are old-fash- ioned Methodists and won’t understand it. I understand this is not legal outside of Cali- fornia.” I had previously asked Laura to leave the room and she had done so. He pulled out a paper, this contract, and I read it twice over myself. He said he would proyide for ‘“‘the little one,” as he called her. I went to San Jose the next day to practice medicine. The letter of Dr. James was shown to the witness, who said: I received thatsoon after the date. Idid not answer it, but returned to 925 Howard s.reet that night. The following day I went to San Jose and remained there until I heard of Dr. James’ death. Dr. Milen will be cross-examined by At- torney Shadburne to-morrow.

Every indication points to the early illumination of the entire City by power- ful electric arc lights. The efforts of the Merchants' Association in this direction | nave b2en =ably championed by A. S. Baldwin, the chairman of the com- mittee upon public affairs. Addiiional subscriptions have been received for two more lights on Stockton strees, between Greew and Union, and they have been at once ordered installed. The association now contemplates the installation of arc lights upon Grant avenue, from O'Farrell street to Bush. The project of illuminating Market street has been favorably received by the property-owners and tenants along that thoroughfare. Mr. Baldwin has sug- gested that if the contributions are suf- ficient, a large number of arc lights will be installed ou_Market street, from the water front to Valencia street. In the center of this thoroughfare there will be suspended arc lights in various colars, if possible those of the next carnival, and along the sides of the street there will be many white arc lights. Market street, from the bay to Third, is dark at night, as well as that portion from Sixth to Valen- cia. It is hoped that the new illumina- tion will brighten and lighten the entire thoroughfare from the water front to Valencia street. This wili produce a most inviting spectacle to the many visi- tors who reach the City by the ferries. The Merchants’ Association takes pleas- | ure in now announcing the following streets as having been provided with the improved lighting. In some “of these streets the lights are already in operation, while in others they will soon be installe Kearny, from Geary to Pacific; Montgo: ery avenue, from Kearny to Btockio Stockton, from Pacific to Union; Bush, from Kearny to Grant avenue; Sutter, from Montgomery to Grant avenue; Post, from Kearny to Grant avenue; Geary, irom Kearny toGrantavenue; Third, fiom Market to Townsend; Fourth, from Mar- ket to Harrison; Sixth, from Market to Harrison; Ninth, from Market to How- ard; Taylor, from Golden Gate avenue to Eddy; Fillmore, from Sutter to Clay; Powell, from Market to Geary; Larkin, from McAllister to Sutter; Sixteenth, irom Valencia to Folsom, and Valencia, from Market to Twenty-eighth. There is also a favorable prospect of having Folsom street soon illuminated with arc lights from Third to Twelfth, and a large portion of Mission street. It will thus be seen that a large portion of the City will be provided with this im- proved system of lighting, and it is be- lieved that when once the City isthus properly illuminated the municipality will continue the excellent work under the au- thority of the City. ® — .

Taylor Elected to the Po- sition of Gas and Water Inspector. Tax Rzbates Will Not Be Paid Until the 215t Inst.—Bateman Bros.” Bond Approved. The Board of Health presented two im- portant measures for the consideration of the Board of Supervisors yesterday. The first was the long-talked-of order pronibiting expectorating on the floors of public buildings, streetcars and other places. The second related to throwing banana peelings and other rubbish on the floors of public buildings, the sidewalks, etc. In each case the minimum fine is set at $5 and the maximum imprisonment at two days. Both orders were referred to the Health and Polics Committee. Supervisor Taylor was elected Gas and Water Inspector, vice Chris Newman, term expired, by the votes of Supervisors Benjamin, Hughes, Dunker, Morgenstern, Spreckels, Hobbs and Wagner. Super- visors King, Scully and Hirsch votea against the nominee of the Mayor, and Supervisor Dimond was excused on the ground that he understood that Colonel Taylor was not a candidate for the office. The Mayor named Taylor Rogers, his present secretary, for the office, but he lacked the requisite number of votes and Mr. Taylor’s name was then proposed. The bond of Bateman Bros., covering the construction of the Hall of Justice, was approved. The City and County Attorney was re- quested to render an opinion on the sub- ject of jurors’ fees in criminal cases. The board accepts the law allowing ‘ees where | actnal service is rendered, but desires to know whether fees must be paid where the juror merely puts in an appearance without serving on a jury. 0y The Superintendent of Streets was in- structed to at once remove a {rame build- ing obstructing Oregon street, between East and Drumm. It was decided to extend the time for the payment of tax rebates until the 21lst inst. in order to give the Treasurer a chance to get the necessary blanks ready. gl STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

Foster Shut Sidney V. £mith Out of a Directors’ Meeting. But the Trial Court Erred in Its Finding While the Main Issus Was on Appeal. A. W. Foster was not guilty of con- tempt of court when he prevented Sidney V. Smith from entering a meeting of the boar! of directors of the S8an Francisco and North Pacific Railway Company last March 23. The Supreme Court ascertained this to be taoe fact yesterday, and annulled the order of the Superior Court, which had adjudged Foster to be in contempt. An annual meeting for directors of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway Company was held in February, 1896. Certan votes that were offered in favor of Sidney V. Smith as one of the directors were rejected by the chairman of the meeting. At the close of the election Autoine Borel, J. B. Stetson, Andrew Markham, A. W. Foster, P. N. Lilienthai, George A. Newhall and John L. Howard were declared by the chairman to have been chosen directors for the year next i ensuing. Thereafter Smith, with Borel, Stetson and Howard, filed their application in the Superior Court of San Francisco under the provisions of section 315 of the Civil Code, setting forth their claim that the votes offered for Smith should have been counted, and that he instead of Lilienthal should have been declared elected as one of the directors. The Superior Court held that Smith and not Lilienthal had been elecied a director with the others, and that he was entitled to exercise the office, and that Lilienthal should be excluded therefrom. Judgment was entered March 25, 1896, in accordance with these findings, and also enjoining the defendants fmm interfering with Smith in the exercise of his office as di- rector. On the same day that this judgment was entered, an appeal was taken to the Su- preme Court by the defendants, and there- after, at a meeting of the directors, Smith sought to enter the room at which the meeting was to be held, but was excluded therefrom by Foster, who had been chosen the president of the board, and the meet- ing was held without permitting him to be present. 3 7 Justice Harrison finds that the action of the Superior Court was a proceeding upon fhe judgment from which the appeal had been taken and was instituted for the pur- pose of enforcing a compliance therewith. The injunction in the judgment against the interference with Smith’s right to act as a director was but auxiliary to the judgment determining thut he bad such NEW TO-DAY. CITY Street Improvement Co.

If the Superior Court could indirectly compel the recog- nition of Smith as a director after the de- termination that he had been so elected had been suspended by appeal, it would exercise an authority in the proceedings after the judgment that it did not possess while the matter was pending before it and undetermined.

A Youthful Appearing Woman at Sixty Years of Age. “How young she is at sixty.” I heard a lady make this remark in a streetcar recently as she vointed out a fine-looking woman with a bright, healthy complexion, good figure and brisk step who had justentered. Ialsolooked ather. She certainly seemed to be nearer forty than sixty. 1 recognized her as the wife of 8 well-known New York business man, and knowing that she is always busily emploved, was interested to discover the cause of her wonderful health and vigor. Happening to mention the matter to a lady of my acquaintance shortly after, she volunteered the following explanation: “Mrs. T.” shesaid, “certainly hassplens did health, and not long ago she told me the secret of if. For years past, so she told me, she has made it a practice to take a little_pure malt stimulant with every meal. She said that it was owing to this thatshe had escaped the many weak symp- toms and miserable ailments from which so many women suffer. She says that whenever she feels tired and worn_out,a Tittle pure malt gives her new life and energy.’’ For the benefit of ladies who may read these words, I may further add that T dis« covered, on subsequent inquiry, that the lady apove referred to uses and strongly recommends Duffy’s pure malt whiskey as the safest and best ofall malt preparations. No other whiskey is like it, and nothing can produce the same good effects. RAILROAD TRAVEL. SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY.
