LONDON, March 20-The discharge OF

roe, where she has been living with her
relatives. As soon as the news was re

peals and the townspeople began prepar.
ing for public reception of the lady, who,
it is understood, will return TO live with
her sister as before Mr. jackson declares
that his next move will be a greater sur.
prise than the abduction It appears that
Mrs. jackson did not receive her property

through former romance 20 which she
was party.
Some years before she married Mr.. Jack

1T WAS AN AWFUL FIGHT.
Goddard and Choynski Nearly Killed
One Another.

SAN Francisco, March 2O.-Details OF
the Goddard -Choynski fight, received by
steamer Mariposa from Sydney today. in
dicate Il 90 have been one Of the most des-
perate affairs Of the kind on record. Both
men entered the ring in splendid oondi-
ton, but Goddard weighed nearly thirty
pounds heavier than Choynski. Il was a
hurricane fight from the start Toward
the end Of the FIRST round Choynski got in
terrible blow on Goddard's jaw, cutting
him TO the bone and knocking him clean
of his feet. He took his ten seconds and
was carried 10 his corner, the call Of time
saving him from being knocked out. In
the second round the men went at Il ham
mer and tongs. They were soon both
staggering with weakness, so terrible had
been the pace. Choynski AZ the end OF the
round was bleeding from the mouth and
had lump over his left eye. The third
round was a furious one Goddard twice
forced Choynski TO the boards by his
superior weight
The American nearly knocked the Aus.
tralian out in the latter part OF the round.
Both were utterly powerless before the
round was over, and were covered with
blood from head 10 foot Choynsl1fs legs
began TO give way in the fourth round
and Goddard drove him all around tn,
ring, leaning on the ropes all the way. Az
last Choynski fell 20 the floor limp and
Goddard stood glaring at him. painting
painfully his knees shaking. Choynsk
after five seconds got up, and as they stag
gered toward each other the round ended
and the men were almost carried 20 theii
corners After about thirty seconds had
ticked awav ChOynski's seconds threw III
the sponge Goddard's face was almost
unrecognizable, Choynski's objective point
being Goddard's head, while Goddard
rained most OF his blows on Choynski'i
wind and over his heart. AZ the conelu
sion Of the fight Goddard made a speech
IN which he attributed his victory TO ths
fact that he was the heavier man.
The Sydney Referee commenting on the
fight said ut was a grim slaughter 4
terrible fight all the journey and the bet
ter man won Choynski WAS whipped, but
he proved himself TO be man for whom

HARTFORD, March 20 The debate on the
Seymour substitute was continued in the
senate. This is the bill the Democrats ia
vor as a substitute for the Judson meas
ure. In speaking on the bill some of the
Democrats opposed certain clauses con
tanned therein, while some Republicans
were outspoken in their opposition TO the
whole bill. It is not known what strength
the measure will develop should it reach a
vote. 1t is believed, however, that the bill
will have to be amended to obtain the full
Democratic support. 1t is said that Sena-
tor Thayer intends to offer another substi-
tute. which provides that if after two days
the legislature fails to declare the state Of
ficers elected the candidates on the state
ticket having the largest number Of votes
shall be declared elected 1t is probable
that no vote on the Seymour bill will be
reached before Tuesday.

brutish looking fellow named Shinnon,
and there were a dozen or more under
bosses all armed with Winchesters and re-
yolvers. A pack Of huge bloodhouhds,
which were kept chained, were baying dis
mally.
Foreman Shinnon insisted that there
wasn't Bohemian in the camp, but re-
quested that the men be marshaled before
me. They were the most utterly miserable

They were terribly emaciated, and with
hardly clothing to cover their nakedness
