Corbett or Jackson in the way of fighting
that would interest anybody. 1t was
simon-pure walking match, with neither OF
the men taking or giving any chance for
finish blow.
When the decision was rendered the
members seemed to be thoroughly pleased,
as they had tired watching the prOceedin gs
after the contestants had become fatigued.
As contest it was unquestionably very
scientific affair, but as a fight from a pro-
fessiOnal view it was complete failure.
Corbett surprised not only Jackson but
also large number of the members. who
thought that he was clearly Overmatched
in every particular. The young Cali
fornian proved himself to be equally
as clever as his duSky opponent and had
he been Jackson's equal In weight
there is no question but that Corbett
would have won the battle. AS previously
stated it was grand exhibition OF fiSticuffs
between heavy-weights, and Corbett can
feel thoroughly proud that lie had made such
a remarkable stand against such an able
pngiliSt as the famous Peter Jackson.
There is no doubt but that the club will
remunerate the contestants in some way,
contest" the pugilistS will not receive much
more than their training expenses call for.
Those who had wagered large sums on
Corbetts chances OF victory were Charley
Stencil, J. Philips. Mike Lynch, Porter
Ashe and some members of the Olympic
Club Jackson was heavily backed at big
odds by the Australian sporting men, many
of whom were disappointed in Peter Jack
son, who is not the man to-day that he
proved himself to be when he first fought on

eyes, I was born in the White House and
christened in the red room, and that cere-
mony was the occasion of great official
gathering"
The speaker was Mary Emily Donelson-
Wilcox, a sweet soft-spOken, soft-mannered
lady Of Southern type, whose birth and
early years among the peTsonages of ante
bellum days invest her reminiscent chat
with a pc culiar interest, says the Washing
ton Herald. Mrs. Wilcox was the daughter
Of Andrew Donelson, nephew of Andrew
Jackson, and the pTivrte secretary and con-
fideD;ial adviser of "0ld Hickory" during
his entire official life.
Her mother, Emily DonelSon, was mistress
of the White House, and the portrait hang
ing in the daughters COSY home on | street
is that of very lovely woman. When Mrs.
Harrison succeeds in securing permission
to hang the portraits of White House ladies
in the Executive Mansion this of Emily
Doneis0n will certainly grace the collection.
1t is little singular that during the years of
Presidential occupation but two births are
recorded among the Official famiIies-that of
Mary Emily Donelson and julia Dent Grant,
daughter Of Colonel Fred Grant.
Referring again TO the baptismal ceremony
Mrs. Wilcox said:

MILLMEN'S STRIKE.
Machine Carpenters Refuse to Help the
Benchmen.

Machine Carpenters Refuse to Help the
Benchmen.
The most important development in the
conflict between the mill carpenters and the
Mnl-owners' Association during the past
twentv-four hours was the action taken by
the machine carpenters last night.
They did not strike when the bench car
pentefs employed in the mills struck for
the eight-hour day. and the carpe nters, to
induce them to strike, levied boycott on
lumber made in shops where the eight-hour
day has not been eS tablished.
Many of the machine carpenters were
willing to strike for the shorter working
day, but when their union met last night
they were In the minority, and a motion to
strike was voted down by majority of
eight. 1t is thought by the outside carDen
tiers that this action will be reconsidered
The contractors are making herculean
efforts to break the strike. AT large
building on Market street Yesterday the
contractor offered "a 30 per day for carpen
tiers. A member of the District Council of
the carpenters visited him and Induced him
to withdraw his offer for twenty four bours,
The carpenters are becoming discouraged.
and the action of the machine men has
added to their rather gloomy fore holdings.
but they have not abandoned hope of vie

THE ABEND POST.
Its Directors Reasons Why 1t Should
Not BE Boycotted.

Its Directors Reasons Why 1t Should
Not BE Boycotted.
Mr. Charles Samuels, Director of the
German Abend Pest, in speaking of the
trouble with printers said:
"Our difficulty with the printers union is
not labor difficulty in the true sense of the
word, but the result of professional rivalry.
The Abend Post has been established for
over thirty-two years, and we have paid,
until recently, far higher wages compare
lively than any other German daily OF this
city. Although an evening paper, we paid
30 cents per 1000 ems, while as an evening
Taler we were obliged to pay but 40 cents,
unions all over the United States granting
that there should be 20 per cent difference
between the prices for night and for day
work.
when the German Typographical Union
introduced the new tariff. according to
which the German system of paying by let
tiers was proposed, we alone accepted it
without opposition.
There has been no loss of wages to any of
our printers by onr use of stereotyped
plates, and over 10000 papers In the United
States use stereO,yped matter. At the same
time we were quite willing to talk the sub
iect over with the union printers and asked
for special meeting. Eight of cur printers
saw at once that our position was peculiar
one and called for such a meeting, but
though according TO the bylaws of the
union seven are sufficient number to en-
fore it the President of the union refused.
Lately we have reincOrpOrated our
paper-it had been Incorporated since 1873,

Wheat Corner in France.

PARIS. May 2l.-Eclaire publishes to-day
an interview with officials in the office of
the Minister of Agriculture in reference to
the projected wheat corner These officials
said they did not believe that the people
who are engineering the corner would sue
coed in attaining the object in view, as the
French farmers refused to cooperate with
the manipulators of the wheat deal. The
French farmers, the officials said always
sold their produce on the spot, and would
pot enter iuto contracts with any large syn
dictate, especially a foreign one. The French
crops are in very critical condition. The
home supply, they said, would fall short by
100000 hectoliters, and if the present
rainy weather continues the result would be
disastrous to the farmers.

1T WAS NO CONTEST.
The COrbett and Jackson Match
Declared Off.
A Very Scientific Display of Fisticuffs With
Only Few Rounds Of Genuine Fight
ing-The Drum Was Silent.

The long talked-Of contest between James
Corbett and Peter Jackson for purse OF
$4,000, tie largest ever offered in this city,
came of at the rooms OF the California Ath-
letie Club last night, and after sixty-one
rounds was declared no contest, neither
man being able to continue from sheer ex-
haustion. Nothing win be allowed either
man beyond his training expenses.
Looked at Fl. NJ a scientific standpoint the
battle will 60 down in the annals Of the
ring as the most remarkable ever fought
between heavy-weights. Both men dis
played wonderful quickness, and Corbett
especially surprised every one present, not
only by his gameness. but by his cool judy
ment and generaI-hip from start to finish.
He carried himself like an old hand, and
not once did he show the least indication OF
fear or nervousness. He appeared con-
scious of the fact that he had youth and
strength both in his favor, but he was eau
tious in the extreme and took no chances.
Jackson showed all of his old-time clever
ness, and his ankle, about which so much
has been said and written since the day he

LOST BOTH LEGS.
Switchman Charles Coombs Run Over by
Train of Cars.

Switchman Charles Coombs Run Over by
Train of Cars.
Charles G. COombs, a switchman in the
employ of the Central Pacific, had both legs
cut off in the company's yards last night at
King street, near Sixth. The accident oc-
CURED at about s 80 o'clock.
Coombs was engaged in coupling freight
cars, when he slipped and fell. The brake
beam IF one of the cars struck and threw
him across the rail. Both legs were crushed,
the wheels passing over the right leg at the
knee, the left being severed at the ankle.
Dr.. Kalliwoda was summoned, and at
tended the sufferer until the arrival OF the
patrol wagon, summoned by Policeman
O'Malley, when the sufferer was removed
to st. Mary's Hospital. Both the injured
members were amputated, and at midnight

pected.

was thrown from his cart, gave him no ap-
parent trouble. There was not the slight
est halt in the movements of his feet, and as
a sparr6r he proved himself fully the equal
of his game antagonist. In one respect
however, Jackson proved q disappOint-
ment to his friends. II is evident that
he has lost none of his cleverness
as before stated, but physically, it must be
admitted, he has retrOgraded His blows
were lacking in steam, and were light
compared with those before which Godfrey
went down IN such short order. He has lost
none Of his generalship, however. and that.
perhaps, more than any other reason, saved
him last night from defeat. His life, since
coming to California three years ago, has
been a continuous record Of fast living. and
that has made him what he showed himself
10 be-a man who is on the decline as
pugilist, so far as strength is concerned.
C0rbett showed himself to be an exceD-
tionally clever boxer, but those who
watched him went away with a lurking
suspicion that this far outshone his ability
as a fighter.

with either Sullivan or Slavin he would be
badly Handicapped, and would find It hard
