SAN Francesca, July 2S.-The prize
fight between George Dixon of Boston
and Abe Willis of Australia took place
at the gymnasium of the California Ath-
letic Club last night for Il purse of
$1,000 and tho bantam-weight cham
pionship of the world.
Willis was practically unknown here
and the betting before the fight began
was in Dixon's favor, ranging from 100
to 20 and 100 to 80. Great interest was
taken in the fight aud the club room
was well filed.
The contestants appeared in the ring
soon after $40 o'clock. Both men were
in perfect condition. Dixou's seconds
were Tom O'Rourko, Mitchell and Billy
Akers. Willis was seconded by NJ rtin
Murphy and Billy Smith. Hiram Cook
was referee. Time was called at S:45.
The Battle.
First round-The men spared care
fully for fully a minute, Dixon showing
to greater advantage in reach. Then
Dixon led and caught Willis on the jaw,
sending him down. When he rose there
was the l~iveliest kind of a rally, the
men smuggling each other at close guar
tiers. Dixon plainly had the best of It.
Willis Rugged as much as possible.
Second round-After fighting cautious
ly for a minute Dixon planted a swing
ing left on the Australians jaw. Sew
eral sharp rsliies and much clinchina
followed. Then they kept up a see-saw
on each others jaws at the closest posi-
Bile range. The round closed with cheers
for both.
Third round-Both men were very
wary Mt first, Dixon then landing his left
on Willis eye and his right on the Jaw.
Neither blow did much damage.
Fourth round-After two minutes of
sparring Dixon landed on Willis jaw
and body several times, receiving two
sharp raps IN return. Both were very
quiet and saved themselves by lodging.
Fifth rouud-It was opened like the
others, neither seeming disposed at first
to rush and force matters. Towards the
close there was a sharp rally near the
ropes, in which it was give and take for
Il moment, though Dixon was plainly
landing harder and oftener. Presently
Dixon caught the Australian on the jaw
with his left and sent him down. Willis
rose to his hands and knees and took his
10 seconds on the floor. He rose a little
weak, but when Dixon rushed him he
stood prepared to receive the attack.
He could not do much, however, in the
rally that followed, and Dixon's right
soon came into contact with Willis jaw
and the latter went down fat on his
back. He fell heavily and lay like a
log. When the 10 seconds had expired
Willis seconds had to lift him from the
floor, and Dixon was declared the winner.
The colored boy seemed as strong as
when the fight commenced.
The Boston boy was cheered to the
echo rs he left the ring. He is regarded
here now rs the wonder of the age.

EXPOSING a FRAUD.
Startling Disclosures Regarding q Penn
s%ylvanin Insurance Company.


s%ylvanin Insurance Company.
BEADING, Pa, July 20.-In the Court Of
Common Pleas Of Berks County a bill ID
equity has been filed signed by a num-
Der of policy holders of the Standard
Mutual Live Stock Insurance Company
of this city.
The startling charge is made thai
the company was organized for fraud.
The company got into trouble about
two years ago, n as a result of the Ill.
ing Of a bill in equity by Aaron B. Wood,
the Court of Common Pleas Of Berks
County appointed Peter W. Fisher re-
ceiver.
Vim. RICHTER Fisher was retained as
attorney by the petitioners and otheI
policy holders about a month ago Ha
says that during his investigation one of
the reasons that made him suspect fraud
was the discovery that one of the mana
gers Of tho company had been dipping
into graveyard insurance.
The Mutual Company was started Ia
1885, and is now said to have outstand-'
ing policy holders, who reside priuoi,
pally in Philadelphia and n~eigbboriup
portions Of New Jersey md Pennsyl
)vania, to the amoun Of 100000.

IT HAS been generally supposed that
the Hebrew associations of New York
organized for the purpose of affording
assistance TO Russian emigrants ex-
patriated from their homes by the
Gar would be able to meet most of
the existing contingencies, but it
seems that they are already encounter
ing serious difficulties, and that even
the aid of the Hirsch fund prevents
them from carrying out their generous
purpose. With the usual liberality
and Charity of the race, however, we
believe that before this great problem

Without a Peer in His Line.
In York city there reside many people of
musical talent, but there doubtless is none
in the state who is capable of manipulating
so gracefully so many different musical
instruments as A. Simpson Slichter, of that
place. He plays thirteen different musical
instruments and is master of them all. HIS
~favorite is q small harmonica, and when in
his hands it becomes an instrument of great
interest, producing the finest music and
most beautiful sounds. With it he can
perfectly initiate brass bands, bagpipes,
concertina, hooking birds, cat calls, crying
babies, rail way trains and various other
sounds. 'Sim," as he is popularity called,
is also without few equals when it comes to
manipulating a guitar. He once performed
the feat Of playing six mouth organs at one
time. He was born in Schuylkill county
July 8, 1865, is a nephew of G-n. j. X.
Sigfried, Of Pottsville, and began his pro-
fession at the age of six years. He has
challenged Dash Williams, of Sunbury, to
play on the harmonica OF guitar for $500 a
side, The contest will probably take place
in Shenandoah, as soon as arrangements
can be completed.
