H STANDS ALONE Jim Jeffries. Champion Heavy Weight, Has No One In His Class. 1 i! Ey Putting Jim Corbett Out In Ten Rounds He Again Asserts His Supremacy. I 1 I 1 Th# Big Californian Has the Better of His Antagonist From the Start. I I Mechanic's Pavilion. San Francisco. ' Aug 16 —James J. Jeffries, champion , heavy-weight of the world, played with j Jim Corbett for nine rounds and a half last night and then Corbett's sec- I onds motioned to Referee Graney to : 1 stop the fight In order to save their 1 man from needless punishment. The , end came shortly after the beginning of the tenth round when Jeffries plant- , ed end of his terrifflc left swings on ( Corbett's stomach. The man who con- < quered John L. Sullivan dropped to 1 the floor in agony and the memorable I scene at Carson City, when Bob Fitz- : 1 slmmons landed his solar plexus blow I 1 was almost duplicated. This time, ! however, Corbett struggled to his feet 1 < tri - -. a 7 IfShSj* r ’ El. • * I i Bs». L -'I ’ ■ vi ■Qk. WTT F ' 1 < JAMES J JEFFRIES. ( and again faced his gigantic adversary. With hardly a moment's hesita- ‘ tion Jeffries swung his right and ! again lan4s ’. on Corbett's stomach. ' Jim dropped to the floor and then it was that Tommy Ryan, seeing that it ! was al] over, motioned to Referee Graney to stop the punishment. The fight demonstrated beyond all ! doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his class. He showed remarkable improve- ' ment in both speed and skill. Corbett, during the first part of the fight, was ' almost outpointed and the few blows ' that he landed on Jeffries were ap- ' patently without sting. Jeffries was never in better condition. He looked ’ lighter than usual and the way he I moved about on his feet and the frequency with which he countered Cor- ' ben s leads astonished everybody. Corbett in comparison with the big J mar. opposed to him looked very light. . but was really heavier than ever before. He appeared to have lost some of his old-time speed and skill during the early part of the fight, but this may have been due to Jeffries' marvel- 1 ous Improvement. Corbett's physical condition appeared to be all that he had claimed for Nt. He stood many of Jeffries' terrifflc blows without 1 wincing and came back swinging left and rights and landing frequently, but 1 his blows hardly stung Jeffries Jeff. I ries war not only stronger, faster and 1 cleverer than ever before, but he used 1 his head to better purpose and al- 1 though Corbett would hit him hard 1 enough to hurt an ordinary man Jeffries would bore right in without 1 noticing the blows and would deliver 1 telling hits that materially helped in 1 deciding the result of the fight. At first Corbett was very cautious 1 and apparently was outpointed by ' Jeffries, but later in the fight he 1 warmed up and showed some of his old-time cleverness From the first | however, tt was generally regarded , 1 as a hopeless case for Corbett He made a gallant fight, but he never stood a show to win. After the fight was over Corbett quickly recovered, walked over to Jeffries and sb<ok him warmly by the | ' hand He said: "Jim. you beat me fairly. You stand alone No one can touch you " FATAL WRECK. Pennsylvania Passenger Train Climbs Over Flat Car on Siding. Ft Wayne, Ind., Aug 15.—East bound passenger train No. 22 on the Pennsylvania railroad was derailed at Van Wert. Ohio, yesterday afternoon. Engineer Charles Eaton. Ft Wayne, was killed, fireman A. W. Boggs. Ft. Wayne, fatally Injured and numerous passengers received Injuries more or less serious. When the engine etf tered the switch It first struck a fiat car. going clean over It. The mall car and three coaches climbed over the engine and were reduced to kindling wood. The rear cars remained on the track. It Is presumed that Engineer Eaton saw the open switch, as the steam was afterwards found shut off and the sand had been, applied.

FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE. Republican Chairman Goodrich’s Path Not Strewn With Roses. Indianapolis. Aug. 15.—When the mists have cleared away after the reorganization of the Republican State committee, it would tut be surprising if. figuratively speaking, there should be some scarred and battered faces among the leaders. A short time ago it looked as if the white dove of peace was not to be disturbed and that there would be no fight for control, but it seems as if it has about come to the point where Chairman Goodrich will either have to say the committee will be a Beveridge committee or he will have to fight for his life. In several districts men who are regarded as Beveridge candidates are being groomed for committeemen, which means nothing less than a fight on Goodrich, who, while he Is not unfriendly to Senator Beveridge, will never become chairman if he has to have his hands tied. • The session of the State board of tax commissioners wfjl soon come to an end. much to the Joy of the several State officials who have to take part. It is the hardest kind of routine work, dealing with figures and stat-»-ments of shrewd financiers day after day for over two months. It is frequently remarked about the capital building that it is the season of the , year when the officials earn their pay. although it Is hardly fair to make it , as the officials have lots to do regardless of the fact that they have much time on their hands. Two present session of the tax board will be : adjourned the Ist of September. There will be a scattering then of the officials for a fall vacation. It is probable that this will be the last session ' John W. Wingate, of Wingate, will sit as a member. It is the understanding that Governor Durbin is not going to reappoint him. although his friends are very hopeful that the report is wltbcnt foundation. Wingate has made a thorough study of the taxing business and is perhaps one of the mo t valuable members the bi ard ever had. He wants the place again and while the governor has not stated openly that he not intend to reappoint him it is believed he has selected one of his own particular friends for the place. The tragedy that ended the life of George W. Gonser has cast a feeling of gloom over his very large circle of friends. He was popular and as deputy secretary of state under W D. Owen and U. B. Hunt he had become widely known. After he left the office about two years ago things seemed to go wrong. He secured a good position in Mexico, but his health failed and he came home. He entered the insurance field and was fairly successful, but he was unfortunate in promoting an oil and asphalt company. The reproaches of a few men whom he had the right to consider his friends and who also lost some small sums in this connection, so preyed on his sensitive I mind that he became men allyderanged. His friends feared he might end his life, but he laughed at their fears. The cruel irony of his death is still further emphasized when • it is stated that arrangements were being made to tide him over the financial straits in which he found himself Outside of his own heme ft is j probable that his death was felt more i keenly at the State house, where his I face was so long familiar. GAS FOR NEXT WINTER. Muncie Companies Promiae Supply for Domestic Use. Muncie. Ind., Aug 15.—The local gas companies, and especially the Muncie Gas. Light and Fuel company.il assert that there will be sufficient fas for domestic use next winter. It will be sold by meter, and after Oct. 1 will j be 25 cents for 1.000 cubic feet, or an I advance of 3 cents On what the companies bas£ their assertions that there will be plenty of gas for domestic use is not known, and consumers are now ,I putting in bountiful supplies of wood I and coal. The gas companies have been putting down new wells. While some are practically worthless, the companies assert that enough gas has been secured materially to Increase the pressure in the mains. The factories have abandoned the use of gas, and many homes have been disconnected from the mains Shot Proved Fatal. Columbus. Ind. Aug 15—Charles Pfeiffer, a welLknown saloonkeeper. I of this city, who shot himself some time ago. is dead About a month ago Pfeiffer was in the rooms of his al- I leged mistress, and he became in-1 volved in an argument He drew a revolver and placed it against the woman s breast, saying that be would j I kill her, but he changed his mind and I shot himself instead, saytr.g he wanted to die Pfeiffer was fifty-flve years ! old and had been In the penitentiary.
