I never cut up the dress. It was an old, cheap, soiled cashmere wrapper that I was ‘making over’ for her. It was short in front.

LEONARD WILL DOUBTLESS | CAPTURE THE BELT. The Handsome Gymnasium Had an 0ld-Time Crowd of Sport- Lovers Present to See the Mills. The gymnasium of the Olympic Club had the appearance of the good old days | 1ast evening when the members gathered en masse to witness the very excellent programme of fisticuffs which was ar- ranged by the old Trojan of athletics, John Hammersmith. This was the first of a grand series of boxing contests which will continue for several months, and if all subsequent en- tertainments will be as good as that which was witnessed last evening by the | large gathering of sport-lovers, it is safe to say that the Olympic Club will soon be as strong in membership—that is nu- merically speaking—as it has been in its palmiest days. M. Cerini of the Reliance Athletic Club and Stewart Carter (unattached), and one of the best judges of boxing on this coast, were selected as judges of the contest and James R. Smith of the Rellance Club of Oakland, referee. The | announcer stated that the limit of eacn | bout must hot exceed six rounds and | that the semi-finals would be decided on Wednesday evening, the 15th inst., and | the finals ‘on some evening to be named by Leader Hammersmith when the first | serles of each class are finished. The lightwelghts, or in other words, the 12%5-pound boxers, had their Inning last cvening with the following results: Peter Duval of the Acme Club and T. McKune of the Alvarado Athletic Club were the first brace to toe the scratch. Duval had the better of the first round, but in the second McKune limbered up and smashed his opponent several times in the face, which took considerable | starch out of Duval's coliar. In the third round Duval, advised by his seconds, went in for give-and-take punching, and as a result he compelled his opponent to | seek safety in retreat. McKune finally cried enough and quit before the end of the round. The referee gave Duval the decision. The second event and which was really the event of the evening, was the meeting | between W. Leonard of the Olympic Club and James Higgins of the San Fran- | eisco Athletic Club, Leonard surprised | the old-timers by the remarkable clever- ness he showed in ducking swings and | abillty to inflict punishment. He landed | repeatedly on his opponent with right and left and "Higgins looked like a red sign | when the sixth and last round was ‘ fought. Leonard was given the decision, | ) but Higgins, who fought a very game battle “i‘“ml superfor odds, was award- | ed by the officers of the elub a special | took when all hope seemed to be lost to | him. Higgins, excepting Leonard, was certainly the best man who competed during the evening. é | . John Capeliss of the Acme Club ‘and | Willlam Hosken of the Excelsfor Club | were the next brace on the carpet. The | first round was evenly contested. In the | goes without s: | second Hosken annoyed his opponent by left-handers on the nose, which drew claret. In the third round Capeliss sent Hosken to the carpet with a well-directed right on the point of the jaw. Willlam remained down eight seconds, but when he regained his pins‘he fought his ground inch by inch. Hosken found tne floor again in the fifth round, and came very near being sent to dreamland before the round ended. In the sixth Capeliss was very tired, and Hosken won a great lead on points. Referee Smith gave the award in favor of Hosken, who knocked the thumb of his right hand out of place in the first round after which he used .us left altogether. Otto Hasse of the Acme Club and E. | Wiley of the Sacramento Club finished the evening’s sport. six rounds. ‘Wiley amused the members by his grimaces and funny tactics. Each time Wiley caught a stinger on the nose he danced around the ring like a merryman and returned to the charge with Tenewed energy. He fought gamely all through the “mill"” and did some very clever execution with the left, but his right was practically useless, as he hit with an open Hasse got the de- gision on points, which count in scientific boxing only.

TOO MUCH SPEED AND AN OLD UNUSED SWITCH WHAT CAUSED THE ALAMEDA TRAIN ACCIDENT. An Abandoned Siding All:awed to Remain a Menace to Life. The accident on the Alameda narrow- gauge Tuesday evening, in which the lives ofl 400 passengers were jeopardized and in which Engineer Jonas lost his life, was undoubtedly due to the indifferent if not criminal method of operating the road. Experienced raflroad men belleve the cause of the accident was running a light locomotive at a rapid rate of speed with the tender before the engine. ‘When No. 19 pulled out of the mole the tender was “light,” there being little coal and water aboard, and when it struck the frog of the unused switch beyond the curve it left the track. The switch was built when the railroad company filled in around the curve and removed the trestle, and since the work was complete it has remained there, a menace to the lives of the thousands of Alamedans who daily patronize the narrow-gauge line. The officials of the road are investigat- ing the cause of the accident, but, as usual, do not offer any explanation. They say it was a fatalism which can never be explained. he heart-broken widow of the brave engineer whose life was sacrificed les prostrated in her desolate home. Hun- dreds of sympathetic friends and neigh- bors called yesterday to condole with her, but none were allowed to see her. Henry Jonas, the dead hero, was a member of the Masons' and Odd Fellows' lodges of Alameda and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. These organi- zations will have charge of the funeral, which will be held at 1) a. m. to-morrow from the Masonic Temple in Alameda. The dead engineer was known to all the older residents of Alameda, and his ter- rible and untimely death has caused uni- | versal regret. He was a man of upright character and Kindly lempemmem;: xi‘nd his devotion to his family was seldom equaled.

CROPS GREATLY BENEFITED MOISTURE REMOVES DANGER OF FROST. & In the San Joaquin Valley and Other Sections of the State There Are Intermittent Showers. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.—A few drops of rain fell here at noon to-day, with favorable indications for a good show- er. This brought joy to the fruit grow- ers, as they were fearful of a frost. | The remarkably warm weather of the past week or two has brought out the buds at a rapid rate, and a freeze at this time would do incalculable injury to the fruit crop. All conditions at the present time are favorable. RIVERSIDE, Feb. 1.—Rain began falling here this evening, with every prospect of continuing. The rain is timely, as grain was badly in need of moisture. GILROY, Feb. 1.—Rain commenced | falling this morning, and continued in showers during the day. Up to date over § inches have fallen. Crops are all planted. MILTON, Feb. 1.—Last evening the weather changed from mild and spring- like to cold and blustering, but not ac- companied by rain. To-day was cloudy and threatening and a light rain fell, and with the wind blowing briskly from the rainy quarter a good fall is an- ticipated. The mild weather has been beneficial to this section, and with a good rainfall now the outlook will be | exceedingly promising for a prosperous | season. SALINAS, Feb. 1.—Owing to recent rains, and consequently better pastures many of the large stock owners of this county are shipping their cattle from northern counties to the ranches in' this district. Many ranches have had their cattle over in the Pajaro Valley, feed- ing them on beet pulp, but are now re- turning their stock to this county. The pasturage is reported as being fine at the present time. SAN DIEGO, Feb. 1.—It began rain- ing here at 8 o’clock to-night. Rain is reported from-La Mesa and Escondido. The present rain is greatly needed. There is a very large acreage of grain that is just up, and rain is needed to give it a good start. With a moderate precipitation now the immediate out- look for crops in this county will be very bright. STOCKTON, Feb. 1.—About .13 8f an inch of rain fell in this city this even- ing, and the indications to-night point to more. There was a light shower up the valley, and at Clauston .35 is re- ported. The rain improves the crop conditions, and the small amount re- ceived will partially overcome the very hot weather of the past ten days. SAN JOSE, Feb. 1.—A slight sprinkle of rain fell during the night and several | times during the forenoon there were | light showers. So far the total is but | a trace. There has been a great fall { in temperature since this time yester- | day, and there was some snow on the | mountains, both on the east and west side of the valley. The unusually warm | weather of the past ten days or two | weeks has advanced vegetation too rap- | faly. The almond trees are budding. | No other fruit shows much advance- | ment vet. Grain has grown wonder- fully, and should there be cold weather it might suffer, as it is exceedingly ten- der, resulting from the rains first and warm sun since. The total rainfall to date is 6.20 inches. The wind is now from the south: barometer, 29.80. SANTA CRUZ_Feb. 1.—Showers of rain fell last night and to-day. It is cold." RYAN LANDS FREELY ON TOM SHARKEY Forfeit Put Up to Bind a Match Be- tween the Sailor and Fitzsimmons. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Feb. 1—Eighteen hundred people witnessed the six-round bout between Tommy Ryan and Tom Sharkey before the Monarch Athletic Club to-night. The event was purely an exhi- bition, in which the Syracuse man clearly demonstrated that he was far the superior of his antagonist as a boxer, landing freely. Sharkey was somewhat dazed at the showing and frequently lald himself open. No damage was done by either man. Tom O'Rourke said to-night: “I have forwarded to-night a certified check for $2500 to bind a match between Tom Shar- key and Bob Fitzsimmons before the club offering the largest purse, the referee and conditions to be mutually agreed upon as soon as a club qualifies.” NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—The time having elapsed for Tom O'Rourke to cover Fitz- simmons' $2500 for a fight between Fitz- simmons and Sharkey, O'Rourke came to- night with a progostlon that looks like business. From Syraceuse he sent the following dispatch to John Boden Jr., a well-known sporting writer in this city, which will pmbnblr have the effect of bringing the Australian and the sallor to- gether. The telegram was as follows: I have forwarded certified check for $2300 to you to-night as a forfeit to bind a match between Tom Sharkey and Bob Fitzsimmons, to be decided before the club offering the largest purse, referee and time of contest to be mutually agreed upon. I will meet either Fitz- simmons or his representative at any time con- venient to both of us, to sign articles as soon as the club Is forthcoming with a sultable purse. Vel e, HERMAN WACHHORST DEAD.

It was his store that was robbed of $8000 worth of diamonds in 1883, of which theft Horace Black was accused. It was a sensational affair.

San Francisco Yacht Club Will Elect Ngw Officers—A Very Strong Ticket in the Field. The United States refrigerating steamer Celtic arrived yesterday from New York. She accompanied the battle-ships Oregon and Towa from the Atlantic to the Pacific. | e Celtic brings the news that the Towa is close to port, having anchored in Mag- dalena May to fill her bunkers from the coal ship Justin. The Celtic was the first vessel of her class purchased by the Government and she was used to carry refrigerated meat to Sampson's blockading squadron. She was manned by the North Carolina Naval Reserve and did excellent service during the war. She will carry fresh meat from California to Dewey's fleet at Manila. Yesterday afternoon she went up to Mare Island, and after being overhauled will make her first trip from this port. Before the war the Celtic was the Brit- ish ship Celtic King and carried frozen beef and mutton between Australla and England. She was owned by the Federal Steam Navigation Compa: of Liverpool, and {s 3735 tons gross register. Her beam is 44 feet and mean draft 24 feet 9 inches. Bhe is equipped with a compressed air re- frigerator plant, with a capacity of 120,- 000 cubic feet, which plant is in charge of two experienced engineers. There are on the ship fourteen officers and 105 men. The Celtic’s officers are assigned as fol- Commanding officer, N. J. K. lieutenant and executive officer, Hogg; ensign, C. T.

Dr. Buckley is having a new yacht bullt, She is expected to be a crackerjack, but has not vet been named. James Kitterman is_the owner of the fine launch America. He s an enthusi tle_yachtsman, and will be a welcome addition to the ranks of the San Fran- cigcans. .. Q. Haven has forsaken the wind- jammers and is now owner of the launch ‘Alberta. His old love, the Sappho, will still_remain flagship of the squadron. E. C. Bartlett of the Frolic and I. Gutte of the Chispa are known to every yachtsman in California, while M.

We say, and saj rightly, that THE NERVES ARE TH LEFE, and if trom any cause they bo enfeebled or broken down, the miseries that result are BEYOND ALL TELLING. Lassitude and debility, sleeplessness and discomfort, gloom, fretfuiness and incipient mania, los o vital powers, and the tendency to consumption, and other fatal maladles are all due to this. THE FAMOUS PERFECTO TABLETS are the sure remedy and preventive for all these evils. Impart vitality, vigor and potency, give relief to insomuia, fafling memory and evil dreams.
