DESPERATE FIGHT IN RELIANCE CLUB BETWEEN THE RIVAL WELTER-WEIGHTS Each Man Is Busy Throughout the Contest, With Neill| Showing More Skill Coupled With Tremendous Hitting Power---Bobbie Johnson Loses to Willie Borne on a Foul AKLAND, TFeb. HM.—Al Nelll ' knocked Charles Thurston out in \ the tenth round of the fastest, hardest and most stubbornly con- tested fight that has ever taken place in Oakland. There were many who thought that after the draw battle be- tween these two men on July 4 last the fight -night would be tame. In this they were agreeably disappointed. The fight started in from the first round and lasted until Neill completed his work in the tenth with an uppercut that landed squarely on Thurston's jaw.

Neill started out with a steady deter- mination to win his fight, and even the wonderful recuperative powers of Thurs- ton could not overcome the persistent hammering that Neill administéred. Dur-: ing the early pert of the fight Nejll kept persigtently punching Thurston in the stom@ch and in the fifth round landed a right hand swing that fairly I#fted Thurston off the ground and caused him to groan.

The dead are: SAMUEL BIMON, white, Ark. B. T. JONES, white, Booneville, Ark. ORANGE FOSTER, colored, Little Rock. JOHN WILLIAMS, colored, North Lit- Booneville, | tle Rock. HENRY McGEE, colored, Little Rock. TWO UNKNOWN MEN. The injured are: Bill Pannager, fore- man of gang, leg broken and internally injured, serious; William Logan, Boone- ville, hurt internaily, serious; - Andrew McGee, colored, Little Rock, internally; Freeman Davis; John Connor; Edward McGinnis, foreman extra gang; Frank Powell, colored; Emmett Burnett, col- ored; John Hollins, colored; Jim Carroll, colored; W. H. Bellew, white; D. C. Hardin, colored; Otto Paylor. The work train was headed west, the engine pushing six cars and a caboose. It was in charge of Conductor G. R. Gamble and Engineer Nasor and Fireman W. H. Evans. As the train was passing under | the high bluffs bordering the river, two miles west of Little Maumelle, the crew saw a heavy rock rolling down the steep declivity, it having been detached from the hiliside by the rains. The train was going slowly, but was. 2lmost upon the rock when it struck the track. tngineer Nasor reversed his en- gine at once, but the rock struck it with almost full force. The caboose was at the head of the train and was broken into splinters. Most of the men who were killed and injured were in the caboose. There was a crew of fifty-four men, white and colored. Just back of the caboose there were three cars of sand and many of the men were buried underneath the sand, which was thrown forward by the terrific im- pact. 8ix men are known to have been killed outright. Three were left on the scene and three were brought to Little Rock on a train that was aispatched to the scene as soon as the news could be sent to the city. Fifteen injured persons were brought to Little Rock and are now at St. Vincent's Infirmary. One of the most seriously injured died on the way to the hospital from the station. It is thought that there are others killed or buried under the sand at tue Scene of the wreck, as there are several missing and yet unaccounted for. A crew of workmen are clearing the wreck and looking for the bodies. If the engineer had not stopped the train when he did the entire train might have been hurled down the embankment. SN THREE KILLED IN WRECK. Terrible Disaster Occurs on the Penn- sylvania Railroad Line. ALTOONA, Pa., Feb. 14—Three men killed, four probably fatally and two se- riously injured, one freight train a com- plete wreck and another nearly so, are the results of an accident this morning on the Pennsylvania Rallroad on a steep grade a few miles below the Horseshoe Curve. The dead: A. 8. GROVE, conductor. W. B. WESTNOR, brakeman. T. W. COONEY, brakeman. The probably fatally injured are: M. W, Hartman, flagman; B. W. Kinkead, en- gineer; F. W. Fluke, engineer; Simon Frederick, brakeman, Seriously injured: The firemen of both engines, names unknown. Control of the second section of an eastbound freight train was lost soon af- ter emerging from the Callitsin tunnel, and two crashed into the rear part of the first sec- tion. Ten cars, the cabnose and two en- gines were completely wrecked. Grove, ‘Webster and Cooney were in the caboose of the forward train. Their bodies were torn to pleces. Hartman was standing on the front platform of the caboose and the shock threw him far down over the mountain side. Engineer Fluke of the rear train and his fireman jumped when they saw the train ahead of them. Fluke was found unconsclous fifty feet away from he track. . SON OF THE PRESIDENT » RAPIDLY IMPROVING Reports From Sickroom of Young Roosevelt Show That Danger Is Passed. GROTON, Mass., Feb. 14.—This was an uneventful day at the Groten School. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. has improved very rapidly and for the first time since his fliness he partook of solid food, meat being included in the diet. The boys rest- ed comfortably all day. At each taking of the chart the res- piretion, pulsé and temperature of the patients were normal, and from all ap- pearances the convalescence was unin- terrupted. 1!‘ is hoped that the boys will be able to it yp by Monday. Young Roosevelt's lungs are rapidly clearing, with the possibility of resolution being completed in a very few days. The re- port from the sickroom to-night at 9 o'clock showed all the boys asleep, From now on they will not be awakened for the administration of medicine, as it is believed will be the most beneficlal thing for them. 14.—Miss _Alice WASHINGTON, Feb.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—Before the National "Woman Suffrage Convention met to-day the delegates gathered in in- formal conference for the purpose of dis- cussing press work. Mrs. Elnora N. Bab- cock . presided. . She announced that as different portions of the United States needed different remedies and as the South was a fertile field the time would be allotted to hearing from delegates from the Southern States, Mrs. Young of South Carolina-said she found newspaper work the greatest factor 1in the dissemination of equal rights ideas. As a member of her State Press Associa- tion, she declared, she had never had any ogponhlon in. the association on account of being a woman editor except from one ‘man, who had insisted that it would ruin any press association to have women members. Mrs. Funk of Maryland sald her ex- perience had been that when articles were properly! prepared the newspapers accept: ed them. A suggestion from Mrs. De Merritt was favorably received. Her idea was to have the newspapers adopt a “‘woman’s column,” devoted to woman suffrage In the main, but seasoned with other items of interest. Miss Mando of Maryland agreed with the suggestion of Mrs. De Merritt, saying that a woman in looking over a paper for recipes for mince pie and fruit cake or something to beautify her complexion will stumble across a paragraph about woman suffrage if there is a woman's column and that she will undoubtedly read and digest it. Mrs. Chesbrough of Buffalo pleaded for clear, condensed and up-to-date articles for the press. The difficulty that the woman suffrage organization encountered, she said, was in furnishing to the news: papers something new, showing what ad- vance has been and is being made in the work. Sick Leave for Clerks. When the convention was called to or- der Clara Bewick Coldy delivered an ad- dress on “Industrial Problems,” in which she criticized® the pending legislation in Congress providing for the abolishment of sick lcave of Government clerks, on the ground that women were constantly ab- senting themselves. This, she sald, was a covert attack on womanhood. In the Interstate Commerce Commission, where no women are employed, she said, the percentage of absence for sickness was greatest. Mrs. Catt said in response to these re- marks that it was not so much a wonder that woman is being closed out as it is a wonder that she ever was appointed at all. Only the depletion of the number of men during the Civil War, she said, was responsible for women holding office. As the pressure for patronage grows stronger, she declared, it is but naturar that those who have Tno votes shall be considered less and less eligible for Gov- ernment positions. “It behooves us,” sald Mrs. Catt, ‘fo hasten the day when women may vote in order that they may be eligible not only for Government positions, but that they may have an equal opportunity with men in_all-the industrial lines of work." Speaking in behalf of the committea on legislation, Gail Laughlin said that their duties were somewhat restricted from the fact that this is “an off year” in politics, but that in eight States holding elections this vear thée State suffrage associations are making efforts to obtain larger rights. Plea for the Islanders. Susan B. Anthony sald she believed in carrying the gospel of woman suffrage to every convention of men and women that could ' be reached, because Catholics, Presbyterians, Congressmen and others never come to the conventions. ““Therefore,” she said, “we must go to them.” Bhe pleaded for suffrage for the women of Hawali, Porto Rico and the Phll;lpplne!.h After referring to the school teachers who has one to the g Telands, she sald: gb - i “Think o em bein; heel of barbarians of the Phlippiacy srg the barbarians sent from this country, who are worse than the Filipinos, y This latter remark was loudly ap- plauded. Continuing, she said: : “We have no business to sit silent while women who go as teachers, as commis- sloners and as penefactors of the islands are under perfect subjection to men." The convention then took up the ques- iion of deciding upon the next place of Denver, New Orleans and Baltim. in the field for the honor. The Rew Anna Shaw’strongly favored New Orleans and moved that the invitation from that city be accepted. The motion was unani- m_(la‘uuly fiamed,] FERg OWar: e clogse of the after: 3 #ion ex-Senator Frank Cnnnonng?nvfze:h addressed the convention. He declared that wemen have the right to vote the same as men. e only question involved was, is it ‘@ duty? Men discharged the duty of voting in their own way, but the question. was . whether they have dis- charged their duty before God and man- kind so that women are not needed to assist in its discharge. At one time he had been opposed to woman suffrage, he sald. but_he long since had changed his mind. - It was the women whq, had brought’ about the redemption of® New York City. He concluded b; that women' will not degrade };Jol?t.l!c:‘;ung — 7 BECOMES SERIOUSLY ILL AFTER EATING A PEANUT Reddintg Woman~&1!!eu as Though From the Effects of Poison, ¥ REDDING, Feb..14.—Mrs. R. A, Martin, wife of, the Southern Pacific agent here, is dangerously ill as the result, it is be- leved, of eating a peanut at a church so- clal yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Martin ate but one peanut. It is believed to have been not roasted sufficlently, and its ef- fect upon her was similar to that of strychnine. In a few minutes after par- taking of the nut Mre. Martin was at- uekx by violent {llness. She appeared as if choking; her eyes were distended and her finger nails turned blue. While being conveyed across the street from the ch _she lost the use of her lower limbs, and before .the physician arrived she was unconscious. No fatal termination of the attack is expected, although she is still very {lL HANDLER NO MATCH FOR JOE WALCOTT IN A BOXING BOUT He Is Knocked Out in the Second Round of a Fight in ~a -Philadelphia Ring Negro Welter-Weight Shows He Still Retains All of His Skill and Cunning PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4. — Jimmy Handler was knocked out in the second round by Joe Walcott to-night at Indus- trial Hall. It was to have been a six- round bout. o 4 In the first round Walcott sent Handler to the floor with a left to the wind, fol- lowing it up with a left to the jaw. Hand- ler took the count and went to.a clinch. They were hugging when the gong sound- ed. In the second round Walcott dropped Handler twice, the latter coming back each time. Walcott finally dropped him for good with a left on the jaw. CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—Kid Broad of Cleve- land and Young Mowatt of Chicago fought six rounds to a draw to-night at the Illinois Athletic Club.

Gains the Decision Over the Denver Boxer Through a Foul. DENVER, Feb. 14.—Billy Armstrong of California won from Kid Parker of Den- ver on a foul to-night in the seventh round of what was scheduled to be e g«‘axfing bout before the Denvlerngtll?l:m ub. £ Contrary to agreement, Parker hit his opponent in several - clinches. Referee Otto C. Floto at the -close of the fifth round announced he would disqualify the man who failed to break clean. As Arm- strong up to this time had kept the agree- ment it was not difficult to see who the warning was aimed at. Everything went all right until the seventh, when Parker let fly a stiff right jab to Armstrong’s ribs just as the men had come to a clinch. This, while it did no damage, was quickly noticed by the referee, who disqualified the Kid and awarded the decision to Armstrong. Armstrong floored the Kid several times with right swings to the head. These, while not particularly dam- aging, forced Parker on one occasion to remain down eight seconds. FITZSIMMONS AGREES TO FIGHT JEFFRIES Accepts the Terms of the California Pugilist as to the Division of Proceeds of Bout: NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Fitzsimmons has decided to accept Jeffries’ terms for a fight of B0 per cent to the winner, 40 to the loser. Fitz favors giving the .clubs a chance to bid for the fight. This is the result of the long negotiation and wrangle between the two men, in the course of which Fitz has held out for an even division of the money. It seemed at one time that the fight wouid fall through, owing to his obstinate contention, but it appears that he was only sparring for the advantage. Finding that the champion would not yield he now consents to fight. Jeffries expressed himself as well pleased when informed of Fifzsimmons’in- tentions. He arranged to meet Fitzsim- mons to-morrow to sign articles, He said he would be ready to fight in April or May. The battle will probably be held on the Pacific Coast. i SALT , Feb. W—"Silent” Rowan of Anaconda and Phil Green of Salt Lake fought to a draw in a twenty-round con- test for the feather-weight championship of Utah and Montana before the Salt Lake Athletic Club to-night. —_———— Ball Players for Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14—Two more ball players have been signed by Manager Morley for the Los Angeles Club. They are Pitcher William J. Slagle and Out- fielder F. L. Du Shane. The new pitcher comes from Norfolk, in the Virginia- North Carolina League, where he estab- lished a good reputation last year. Du Shane is at present Los Angeles agent for the United States Fidelity Adjustment Company. He played last season with the Quincy Western League team. WARSHIP BUILT IN GOVERNMENT YARDS TLabor Council Urges California Con- gressmen to Advocate Passage of Such a Measure. Resolutions regarding the construction of vessels in the United States navy yards were adopted by the San Francisco Labor Council at its meeting last night. The res- olutions recite that the Government has several large and well-equipped navy ards, representing an Investment of 50,000,000, and the Sentaors and Repre- sentatives in Congress from California are urged to give their assistance toward hav- ing a measure passed providing for the construction of at least one warship in each of the Government yards. An amendment to the by-laws was in- troduced preventing any delegate who holds a pofitlcs.l position from taking part in the deliberations of the council, A resolution was recelved from the San Francisco lodge of the machinists’ union advecating the creation of a Board of La- bor by charter amendment, if necessary, or by action of the Board of Supervisors. The head of the board is to be appointed by the Mayor and have a salary of $2400 a’ year, 'l¥ha retall clerks will give a vaudeville show and dance at Native Sons’ Hall, on March 6. e INTERESTING LECTURE ON PATHOLOGY OF ART Dr. Rixford Explains Value of An- cient Paintings and Sculpture to Medical Science. In spite of the inclement weather, a large audience was present at Cooper Medical College last night to listen to a very interesting lecture by Dr. Emmet Rixford on “The Pathology of Art.” Dr. Rixford explained how descriptions of diseases are not as valuable to medical sclence as a representation of their effects as seen in sculptures and paintings. “The artists,” he said, ‘‘are the true sclentists of the middle ages.” The value of the an- cient Grecian and Egyptlan sculptures was very great to the present generation, he explained, in that' the evolutions of various diseases could easily be deduced from a clear exposition of their earlier forms. The lecture was illustrated with stere- opticon views of the work of some of the first sculptors of whose existence the modern world is aware. ———— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, ARRIVED, Friday, February 14.

JAMES BRITT’S PROFESSIONAL DEBUT IS ATTRACTING MUCH ATTENTION Moré Sentiment Shown Over His Appearance in the Ring ~ Than Has Developed Over a Similar Case in Many Years---Large Attendance Expected by Acme Officials —_ T is many years since so much senti- ment has@een shown over the pro- fessiondl debut of a boxer as has de- veloped about the first appearance in the ring of Jimmy Britt. B This is chiefly owing to hig wide .ac- quaintanceship and his meteoric career as an amateur in the boxing tournaments of the Olympie Athletic Club. He has never been defeated, apparently outclassing: all the men against whom he has been drawn. How far his amateur experience will carry. him next Tuesday night whén he meets Toby Irwin, a young though sea- soned professional, is the question which cannot be answered until Referee Jack Kitchen has announced the winner. Both boxers have youth, strength and game- ness, a good foundation for the work they » OF THE BOXERS | MEASUREMENTS | IRWIN 19% 1351nchel e o * have outlined for themselves. Although each boxer weighs 133 pounds and his measurements show him to be larger all over, as the accompanying table indicates. Irwin is much larger about the chest and waist: His underpinning is also much stouter, but in his work Britt has always shown sufficient strength in that quarter to carry him through the fastest bouts. Irwin has the longer spread of arms. Not much importance attaches to this. Walcott has a short reach, but per- forms wonders. Britt's’'work has attracted many visitors to his training quarters. Those who saw him boxing with Leonard and Long wit- nessed some remarkably clever glove work and hard hitting. He has practically end- ed his training and will take only such ex- ercise as will keep him in health. An unusually large crowd will cross the Irwin is one inch taller than his opponent bay to*witness the fight. BESULTS OF FRIOAYS RACING AT OMLAND.

Galan- thus no N Monday last at Oakland enough money was bet on the chances of Barnato, a rejuvenated cripple, and one of the eight starters in the second event, to llnk‘a battle- nnie O’Connor had the leg up on :;‘;‘: orc/;xlon and couldn’t get the geld- ing to untrack himself. Yesterday, with fifteen pounds less welght up and a more sloppy track to run over, ‘Barnato ap- pearsd a different horse altogether. Forty ‘to -ome in the ring, he went out in the mile selling run and “tin-canned” his fleld from Start to finish. Constable and For- mero, the two favorites, fought it out for the place, the former getting there by a nose. The winner was not overlooked by any means, several of the ‘books getting hit to the race after “bumping” the two hoices. cDesplte the muddy sgoing, horses ran fairly well to honors with the betting. Rain fell almost continuously, making it unpleasant for the riders and | spectators allke. p'l.‘w«a or three good things were untied in the opening sprint, but failed to come through. ‘At the start, Lee Jackson on imp. Mildred Schultz, played from 20 down to 10, jumped away in front, leading almost to the wire. Johnny Woods astride Annie Max got up at this stage with the third choice, winning by a neck. Lana, a warm one from the Chinn & Forsythe sta- ble, and a 7 to 5 chance, ran unplaced. Right at home in the slushy going, Grafter, with Jackson on his back, took the seven-furlong event in an ordinary gallop. Buuhfleld‘s, nhfl o’tros 1 shot, led for place honors. v:)s::ll::::e perl;od of the betting about the only kind of tickets the bookmakers could peddle out on the third race were those calling for ‘Midnight Chimes. The mare was once 6 to 5, but later receded to 8 to 5, and her apparent lack of speed would Indicate that she was not ready. Quiz II, backed from twos to 7 to 5, ehowed I front most of the route, splash- ing in nearly half a dozen lengths ahead of Kldred. Patsy Dolan, at 40 to 1, ran th'g?e.rs wak nothing to the second seven- furlong run but Sharp Bird. The Ezeil & Lazarus entry closed a slight favorite over Mission, and, in track parlance, “won a city block.”" Colonel Ballantyne moved uP in the stretch, beating MfSsion for the Piec a better race on Bard peCinn fo%%ndl pumber than he did Dr. Bovle some days ago.
