ONE FOR FITZS PARTY.
CarrolPs Protege, OConnell, Defeats Conley
for the Welter-Weipht Championsi,ip,

CarrolPs Protege, OConnell, Defeats Conley
for the welter-weight Championship.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. I2-There was a fight
at the rooms of the Audubon Association to-
night between Doc O'Connell and Eddie Con-
ley. of Boston Mass for $1,000 purse and the
welter-weight championship left vacant by the
death of Paddy Duffy, of Boston. James
Sweeney was chosen referee. and James Cor
bett and Howe HodgLins of Boston, were be-
hind Conley, while James F. Carroll and a fel-
low chum looked after Docs interests.
Time was called promptly at O'Clock. and
the men came together pleasantly, but it was
an easy one. Dock felt his way and landed his
left. O'Connell attempted to cross counter,
hut missed. A good exchange followed,
wherein both landed-O'Connell on the face
and Conley on the neck. O'Connell feinted and
fooled Conley. and then landed a straight left
on the face. Doc landed 4 good left, but got
smash on the ear that sent him backward.
Carroll coached him to be cautious and he was.
but Conley, who was also ably seconded, landed
a strong right. and Doc went backward. This
was Eddie Conley's round beyond doubt
In round two rapid exchange and straight
lefts showed the determination of both men
not to waste time. Conley knocked Doc down
and it looked all up with Carrolrs protege:
Not so, however. Carroll coached MIN well ana
he mended rapidly and ducked neatly out OF
Conley's sevrc hitting. Doc was groggy from
the heavy punching he had received and Con-
ley, GOOD and strong seemed winner, barring
and landed his left forearm on Conley three
times. Conley's eye was cut and so was Docs.
This was fighting round and no mistake. The
hits landed on each man SO often it was hard to
note them. Doc improved, however. as time
went on. and ms caution served him well. He
left many openings however, that cleverer
man than his opponent would have taken ad-
vantage of. This was O'Connel's round and
Conley looked winded.
In rounds four and FIVE Doc improved his
chances by hitting and coming away according
to Jimmy Carroll's instructions. The Doctor
got into Conley in the fifth round and barring
a fiuke it looked like he must certainly win.
Howe Hodgkin and Jim Corbett rubbed
down and made so presentable an appearance
of Conley for the sixth round, however, that
many knowing ones said it was not over yet.
This was good round and Doc improved his
chances greatly by straight left facers and
beautiful body rights. which must have
troubled his adversary greatly. Conley went
to Doc for the seventh round and the Doctor
pelted him into a corner and with right hand
counter knocked Conley down and out After
falling. Conley rolled over, and as seven was
counted aloud he attempted to rise, but his
legs were gone. and down be went completely
beaten. He was pronounced a brave and nice
little fellow by nearly all who saw him battle
against Docs superior science. 1t was hard
fight

preme Court in the case of the Commonwealth

THE MILLER-HoRNER WEDDING.
A Brilliant Society Event Taking Place al
Christ NJ. E. Church.

Christ NJ. e. Church.
The Miller-Horner wedding was solemnized
in a brilliant manner in Christ NJ. E. Church
last evening. The sanctuary was illed with
guests representing the wealthy and cultured
circles of which both the bride and groom are
popular members. and was beautifully decora-
ted for the occasion. The bridal party was an
nouced by the wedding march, and preceded
by the four ushers, rraversed the aisle TO the
tropic-laden altar. The bride was attended BIZ
Miss Lilly Palmer and Miss Mcclure as maids,
and cunning little Helen Wltherow as maid of
honor. Mr.. Miller was supported by E. e. Lit
tie as best man. The ushers were Messrs. AL
bert Long, Thornton Orr, Frank E. Richardson
and S. Raymond Horner.
Miss HOrner was attired in white corded silk,
fashioned to display the grace of her polite fig
ure. and wore veil that partly concealed the
beauty of her girlsh face. The groom was
handsome and manly enough to be the hero in
an ideal marriage. MIR. Miller's good looks.
however, are not all the gentleman has to rec
ommend him. He is equally fortunate in men,
tai possessions and attainmcnts, and his long
continued illness has been productive of uni
versal sympathy. The church ceremonies were
followed by reception at the home of the
bride, on Stockton avenue, at which only rela-
tives were present, but where the brightness
and charm of the brides manner was particu-
larly noticeable. An Eastern wedding trip will
be taken.
