The Contest at san Francisco - No
 News of the Result at 8,I5 O'Clock
 This Morning.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-No pugilistic event ever occurred cn the Pacific coast | that created more interest or excitement than the great heavy weight battle be- tween Jim Corbett of San Francisco and Peter Jackson of Australia, which was fought at the gymnasium of the California Athletic club tonight. The purse was 0,000, $1 ,5O0 of which went to the loser. The condition of the fighters was all that could be desired. Jackson was the heavier, but in every other respect it was generally admitted that one man possessed little or no advantage over the other Still Jackson was the fsverits in tho betting during the week, before the fight, at odds ranging from 3 to 10 to 8 to 10. The betting this evening was about the same odds on Jackson. A large amount of money was wagered on the coast during the last two days. The pool room and other sporting resorts were crowded and there seemed no end of either Jackson or Corbett money. The California club last night appointed Hiram Cook referee. ooSncoh Woo 5SSol1Rok pS Sai11 CllZpatIlCA and Billy Smith and Corbett's seconds were Billy Delaney, John Donaldson and Harry Corbett. The seating capacity of the gym nssium was about 1 200 and it was crowd ed. The men entered the building at 8 o'clock and went to their dressing rooms. At 9:30 they entered the ring and timewas called for the first round. st7 s
 First round-A few seconds were spent in preliminary sparring. Jackson led lightH ly and clinch followed. The men broke slowly. Jackson led with the right and and missed. Another clinch followed and Corbett seemed 10th to break away. Cor bett touched Jackson lightly on the jaw, and as the round closed he received left handler in the ribs.
 Twelfth round-Corbett landed twice on Jackson's stomach and jumped away from a swift drive at his jaw. The battle up to this time had been decidedly a scientific one, and it looked as if it would continue so for some time. If there was any differ ence in the men Jackson was @ little fresher.
 Twentieth round - Corbett knocked Jackson back with short punch in the throat. then forced him into 8 corner and in which the rally which followed Corbett had the best of it, giving Jackson several hard right and lefts in the jaw.
 After the twenty-frst round nothing was accomplished till the twenty-sixth round, when Corbett gave Jackson a sharp left-hander in the stomach.
 3:15 a. m.-Thirty- round-Jsck son took the aggressive in this round, though he did little beyond giving Corbett 8 sharp rap in the side.

Tunnel Collision in Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 21.-The Washington street tunnel through which the cable sys- tems of the West Chicago street railroad pass ts the west side, was the scene of an exciting accident at : o'clock last night. The tunnel was nearly full of trains, and two or three stopped in the middle of the tunnel to allow the advance to get out of the way. As a heavily loaded Madison train, a grip and two trailers, entered the tunnel, !, the gripman, seeing the trains ahead of him, attempted to stop, but the brakes re- fused to work, and the train went down the incline with frightful rapidity and smashed into a Milwaukee avenue train, causing bad wreck. The occupants of the cars scrambled out as best they could. Many were scratched and bruised. H. Bodie was caught in the wreck and sus- tained internal injuries. It was two hours before the track was cleared away and cars were running again.

Fear of More Trouble - Twelve of
 Mondays Victims Dead.

 PARIS, May 21.-Ex-King Milan of Ser via in an interview published to-day on the expulsion of his wife, ex-Queen Ma talie, said the expulsion had been most unskilfully managed.

 UTICA, New York. May 21.-Although the rain fell in torrents to-day, the city was filled with visitors and the principal streets were covered with flags, bunting and Masonic emblems. The occasion is the laying of the corner stone of the Ma sonic home.
 Grand Master Vrooman, Grand Secre- tary Ehlers and number of the other grand officers arrived in the city yesterday and last evening and completed the final arrangements for the ceremonies of the day. About 2,50O Masons from New York and Brooklyn arrived this morning and helped to swell the crowd Each Masonic district in the state was represented and it is estimated that fully 25,OOO strangers were in the city. The organiza- tions formed at the positions designated for them by the grand marshal and moved at 1 80 o'clock. While the parade was
 
 city closed it's doors, while the schools and factories closed for the day. There were about twenty bands of music in the line.
 At the grounds, the ceremonies as laid down in the ritual of the grand lodge were carried out. The ode, Brethren All" was written for the occasion by Wallace Bruce, United States consul at Edinburg. Scotland, and the chorus of pilgrims was sung by a local choir of twenty voices. Grand Master Vroorman delivered short address introducing Past Grand Master Lawrence, who made an ora ton.
 The procession passed in review before the grand officers and the mayor near the vladuct and then countermarched by an- other route to Baggs square, reaching there just as the rear of the line was leav- ing it. The pageant was handsome one and elicited rounds of applause, the grand lodge especially sharing in the enthusiasm The grand officers then drove to the home grounds and laid the cornerstone accord ing to the prescribed ritual, the addresses being reserved till evening. The site is one of the most beautiful in Central New York, and great disappointment was felt at the inability to carry out the complete program. About 2,O00 people, however, visited the site. The big building is al ready rising from it's foundations Lieu tenant Governor Edward F. Jones was present in the reviewing stand.
 Tonight at the Utica Opera house about 5000 people listened to the addresses by the mayor, Hon. Alexander T. Goodwin, ter Lawrence and Hon. Chauncey M. De-

WASHINGTON, May 21-It can be stated on the highest authority that General Raum, commissioner of pensions, has not resigned and has received no intimat ton from the president that his resign ation is desired. It is stated upon what appears to be good authority that the civil service commission has made report not only to the secretary of the interior but to the at torney general in the case of Green B. Raum, jr., and the others alleged to have been concerned in the recent appointment of a man named Smith to a position in the pension office in which they express belief that all have violated the civil service law

Strange Fate of a Woman who Took
 Refuge in . Church.
 BOSTON, May 21.-The badly decom- posed body of Catherine Seeby was found in an unused lumber room connected with St. Joseph's Catholic church at Boston Highlands yesterday. The woman has been missing since last January. She was engaged as domestic in Roxbury, and on January IS last left home to go to St. Joseph's church. The day was very stormy and ittis thought probable that af- ter the church services, not desiring to face the storm, she entered this lumber room and was later inadvertently locked in by some one. The room has no win .dows, is usually kept locked, and has not been opened for some time by any one connected with the church

LAcK ONE OF A ouoRUM.

RrfdgePortss Board Of Aldermen Sft
 All Ntght-At It Again Last Night.
 BRIDGEPORT, May 21.-At Il o'clock to- night Mayor Marigold and the five repub- Ican and one democratic aldermen are still in session at city hall and arrange ments have been made to pass the second night of the session as comfortably as pos sible. There is no inclination of the part of the republicans to give up the fight and they will remain in session until one of the democratic members return or is cap tured by the sheriff, who. is in pursuit. The cause of the trouble is as follows: At the last meeting of the board of aldermen Mayor Marigold sent in his nominations for the various boards of the city gov ernment for confirmation. The board of aldermen stands seven democrats and five republicans, and the democrats did not care to have the republi- cans the mayor had named in office, and to prevent them from going in and to keep the present officials in office they refused to confirm the nominations, but voted to table them until next March. Wednesday night was the regular meeting of the board or aldermen, ana Defore It was time to De called to order the democrats learned that one of the democrats, Alderman Ward, would continue to vote with the republi- cans and was prepared to vote for rec ommendation of the nominations and then for their confirmation. In this case it left the board a tie and put the power into the hands of the mayor, which would result in the confirmation.
 Determined to thwart this if possible, at least for the present, the democratic alder men sought legal advice, and the only way out of the difficulty was to leave the board without quorum. To do so it was neces- sary to escape from the city entirely, for it lay in the power of the mayor to have them brought in by the city sheriff They decided to adopt this course and left the city.
 IN NEW HAVEN YESTERDAY.
 Five of the democratic aldermen who ran away from Bridgeport's republican mayor were in this city yesterday. They were fighting shy of the mayors deputy sheriff, who had been sent after the city fathers to make them discharge their du- ties as municipal officers of Bridgeport.

Disbelief in the Success of Its Pro-
 iectOra.

PARIS, May 21.-The Eclaire publishes to-day interviews with the ocfiials of the ministry of agriculture in reference to the projected wheat corner. These officials said that they did not believe the people who were engineering the corner would succeed, as the French farmers had re- fused to cooperate. The farmers always sold their produce on the spot, and would not enter into contracts with any large syndicate, especially foreign one. The French crops were in a very critical condi- tion. The home supply would fall short by 20, ,00O, ,000 hectolitres. If the present rainy weather continues the result would be disastrous.
