HIS HONOR" JAILED.

Thomas Lovejoy, the Justice, Surreu-
dered by His Bondsmen.
Considerable publicity has been given
of late to the arrest, examination and
doings generally of Thomas Lovejoy,
alias JOY, the Justice of the Peace OF Mis-
sissippi Township, who was arrested and
held to answer for robbing man named
Kelly of $50 at Folsom recently.
Shortly after his arrest, Lovejoy was
released on bonds furnished by A. j.
Rhoads and Arthur Miller.
Yesterday the Justice" appeared be-
fore Superior Judge Van Fleet for ar
raignment. He answered that his true
name was Thomas JOY, and he pleaded
mot guilty. to the charge of grand
larceny preferred against him.
1t was not long after His Honor's"
arraignment, when his bondsmen APP
peared at the Courthouse, and requested
that. they be released from further re-
sponsibility for Lovejoy's appearance in
court, and they wanted their names
taken off the bond. All order was issued
for the arrest of Lovejoy, and placed in
the hands Of Deputy Constable Swift for
servlce-lt being necessary that the pris-
oner be in the custody of the Sheriff, be-
fore the bondsmen could be released.
The Deputy searched all afternoon for
the fallen jurist, but in vain, and fears
were entertained that he had left for
pastures new.'
Last night, however, Mr.. Swift over
hauled his man, and locked him up in

JANEsvILLE NINE VICTIMS.

Tho Four HunGarians Rescued VIII
Probably Recover.
HAzLEToN PENN, Feb. 24.-The four
Hungarians rescued from the caved-in
mine at Janesville, after being shut up for
eighteen days, were brought to the sur
face this morning and given small
amount of lime juice, milk, ETC., and
allowed to rest. They will probably re-
cover from the effects of their confine-
ment. 1t is impossible to try TO get a
statement from any OF the men as their
weakened condition prevents. All the
men are so weak that simple movement
of the head is impossible. How they
lived for more than eighteen days is "a
question. The dinner i'll their pals would
have been sufficient to sustain life for
eight days, perhaps, if dealt out SPAR
ingiy. What they lived on the remainder
of the time is variously coniectured. The
clear portion of the mine, where the men
We're found, was cushioned" by fresh
air. After the terrible rush of water on
that awful day good air came into this
breast, where it was driven to the highest
point by the water. The men sought that
locality, and there they We're found
Twenty-three men We're in the mine when
the disaster occurred. Six of these es-
capped, leaving seventeen. All are now
recovered, the last of the dead being found
near the place where the four live miners

with large body OF Dervishes, seized

TWENTY-NINE ROUNDS.

Dan Mahoney Knocked Out by Dan

Badly Punished.
Special to the REcoRp-uN1os.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN JOSE, Feb. 24.-The fight for the
Pacific Coast bantam-weight champion
ship before the San Jose Athletic Club
tonight between Dan Hawkins and Dan
Mahoney resulted in victory for the
former in the twenty-ninth round. The
fight was hard-contested and the best one
ever seen in this city.
At the start it seemed that Mahoney
was the winner. He did all the fighting,
made frequent rushes and kept Hawkins
in his own corner most of the time. He
kept leading for Hawkins heart, landing
so often that the flesh assumed a blood
red tinge. Finally he abandoned those
tactics and paid more attention to Hawk
ms jaw, endeavoring to get in knock
out blow. He landed frequently, but
with not enough force. He did consid-
erable damage to Hawkins face, how
ever, as the left size is badly swollen and
the left eye nearly closed.
All the rounds previous to the twenty
first seemed in NIahoney's favor, but in
this hawkins took more of the aggres-
Slve, and succeeded so well that conf
dence was inspired, and when time was
called for the twenty-second he COM
menced pounding Mahoney hard Ma
honey was still strong, and the honors
were about even until the twenty-fifth.
when Mahoney showed some signs of
aggressiveness. Hawkins saw his advan-
tage, and rushed his opponent, but Ma
honey was not gutter, and showed that
he had lots of fight still in him. He
fought hard, but his strength was not
equal to the necessity, as he had done too
much work at the first. He continued
getting groggier and groggier.
In the twenty-seventh it was seen that
Hawkins had his man whipped, but
though he punched Mahoney right and
left, he was not able to down him.
In the twenty-eighth he pushed Ma
honey hard and knocked him down once.
The call of time saved Mahoney. and his
seconds carried him to his corner.
He was able to get to the center of the
ring in the twenty-ninth, but in bad
shape, and Hawkins rained blows right
and left upon him, finally landing a terri
bic right-hander on the Jaw, and Ma
honey went down. He made an effort to
rise, and succeeded in getting to sitting
posture, but was unable to get upon his
feet, and was counted out.
Hawkins friends were wild with ex-
citement, and carried him to the dressing
room on their shoulders. Hawkins face
is in bad shape. The left eve is closed.
the left check badly swollen, there is a
big swelling under the left ear, and the
lower lip is skinned and swollen.
Mahoney is in an equally bad condition.
His face is all swollen and skinned, and
he has skinned places on his body.
The purse was S400, of which Hawkins
gets S325 and Mahoney the remainder.
The club rooms We're crowded, and there
was great enthusiasm throughout the
fight.

NEW NAVAL GUN.
A Test to be Made of Firing Under
Water.

NEW HAVEN, Feb. 24.-C. S. Bushnell,
of this city, President of the Fries
son Coast Defense Company, which has
the old Destroyer, taken out of Brooklyn
for repairs, says: "We are fitting up the
vessel for the purpose of testing gun
that will fire under water. Now, with
the heavy ncttingS which the big war
vessels have for the protection of them
selves against torpedoes, the ordinary
projectiles are almost useless. But with the
gun that is to be tested on the Destroyer
we can make projectiles penetrate any of
the nettings that are in use We are to
use a 16-inch gun. That which we are to
experiment with is being constructed,
and is about half done. 1t is to be thirty
five feet in length. The projectile is to be
twenty-five feet long, and to throw it a
charge of twenty-five pounds of powder
will be used. The shell will contain from
800 to 400 pounds of nitro-glycerine,
enough to blow up any vessel if struck
right. The lauZzle of the gun will pro-
trude ten feet under water, and the pro-
jectile will be carried from $50 to 1000
feet beyond the muZzle of the gun before
firing. We intend to try the gun for the
first time at Newport, next July, having
obtained from Congress an appropriation
for making the tests. With few such
vessels as the Destroyer will be when
equipped with our gun, the armed fleets
tof the world could be swept out of exist
ence- lbelieve this invention will revolu-
tionize the naval gunnery throughout
The world. One of our shells can be sent
right through the netting and into the
side of q vessel where torpedo could not
penetrate. For the price that one of our
big ships will cost we could build and
arm five smaller ships, which would be
able'tO sink the best navy afloat."
