THE BLACK MAN WINS
George Godfrey Whips Joe Lam
non in Four Rounds
BROOKLYN HANDICAP SURPRISE,
Judge Morrow Wins by . Head, while
Fine Day and . Heavy Track.

NEw YoRx. May 16-Ths heavyweight
glove contest between Joe Lannon and
George Godfrey drew large crowd to the
Coney Island Athletic Club tonight. Lam
non tipped the scales at 175 and Godfrey
at 1S5. Godfrey was first to land. which he
did hard with both right and left.
He landed many good blows before Lam
non got down to work, but when the latter
did commence to fight he got in some
left-handed jabs and several hard right
handed swinging blows. inthe third both
men fought in q vicious manner, and .
number of telling blows were struck. Lam
non was knocked down in the third, but
was quick up again.
The fourth round was the fiercest and
most exciting of the fight, and settled the
battle. Lannon directed all his blows for
Godfrey's stomach, while the colored man
played for Lannon's head entirely.
He kept jabbing him straight in
the face with his lett and swinging his
right back of Lannon's ear, until he had
him so groggy that he could scarcely
stand. Lannon swung a vicious right, but
it fell short of the mark, and before he
could recover Godfrey landed a right
handed upper-cut which sent Lannon stag
gering across the stage, and another
from the shoulder with his left knocked
him down and almost out. As soon 40 he
got up Godfrey was at him again hammer
and tongs. Lannon was growing weaker
every second. Both were SO much ex-
cited that neither seemed to hear the
gong at the call of time, and went right on
fighting.
Both Of them delivered foul blows, but
Lannon's had little steam in them. while
three of Godfrey's terrific swings almost
put Lannon out. The seconds Of both
men yelled "Foul.1 but Referee AL
Smith grabbed Godfrey and dragged him
away from Lannon. The entire crowd
shouted Foul" and the widest excite
ment prevailed. The referee turned deaf
ear to all the appeals of Lannon's friends
and ordered the men to go on fighting.
At the call of time for the fifth round
Godfrey responded and Lannon refused to
get up, whereupon the referee awarded the
victory to Godfrey. Lannon was very
much exhausted, and could hardly have
lasted another round.
george Godfrey was born in Prince Edward
Island March %, 1853, and is consequently 80
years old. He has been whipped by Peter Jack
son and Jake Kilrain, but the latter had q hard
job of It He had, previous to this last BATTLE
fought two draws with Joe Lannon. Following
is a list of Godfrey's Victories:

STABBED IN THE BACK.
Ohacer Holloway Assaulted While
ShadOwing . Female Thief.

Officer A. +. Holloway was seriously
stabbed in the back about midnight last
night near Tenth and Columbia by some
unknown man, who struck from behind.
There have been numerous complaints
of flower thieves on his beat, and the
officer determined to do some detecti We
work. Captain Samuel Jackson, living at
Fifth and Virginia streets, had suffered
especially in this respect, and offered a re-
ward for the arrest of the thieves.
Early in the evening Holloway tele-
phoned to headquarters for permission to
be excused from reporting regularly on his
beat every hour. The complaint of Cap
tain Jackson had been against a myster-
ious woman who had plundered his flower
garden.
About IL o'clock the officer, while on
watch, noticed woman enter Jackson's
yard. She espied the officer. and after
looking at the flowers walked away. He
followed her for several blocks and was
intent only on watching her movements.
Suddenly. without the least warning. n
man sprang from behind a house standing
near the street and struck sayagely with .
knife az the officers back
The blow went clear through a heavy
macintosh, coat and vest and deep into
the iiesh. AS the assailant struck he cried
out:
lyon will play detective. will your"
This was the first intimation Holloway
had of an attack, and as he wheeled he
caught n second blow across the left hand.
The man with the knife then disappeared
as quickly rs he had appeared.
moment later Officer Jaycox came
along and discovered the wounded police
man. There was then no trace of the
woman. Holloway was taken to a phys,-
clans house near by and his wounds cared
for. He was later removed in the pstroI
wagon 10 his room at the corner of Sec
ond and Marion streets and at late
hour this morning was resting well. The
wound in the back is deep one, about six
inches long. 1t is just belov the left
shoulder blade and If the knife had gone
an eighth OF an inch deeper would have
reached the heart
Holloway had no opportunity of seeing
what the man who cut him looked like.
and, of course, could not identify him. He
knows, however, who the woman Is. and
some arrests viii probably be made TODAY.
At 3 O'Clock this morning Holloway,s
condition was becoming critical.
AT the time OF going 10 press addition al
doctors were being sent for.

fat from the face. The fourth was clear.
In the fifth level fifty feet of gus was found.
After carefully examining the crosscut ne
concluded that it had not been fired,
but he thought that the gas had
been set OF on the outside and communi-
Gated to the other parts. Gas was found
within twelve feet of the face in the sixth
lsvsl In the seventh little mir was car
eulating. but there was IN absence OF gas.
In several chambers on the west SIDE gas
was again located. He saw NO powder
marks in the cross-cut between the nitn
and sixth levels. The drill hole was
trifie black, but IL was not colored by pow
der. He thought that the gas had done II.
and he thought the hole was drilled
through and the gas carried in by
the air pressure. He believed that
dust would explode when set OIL by
gas. The drill hole, he imagined,
was made to cut through from one side OF
the crosscut to the other. The slope in
his estimation was dryer than the Frank
lin and Newcastle, but the dust was
heavier. In relation to black or choke
damp he stated it to be of an explosive
nature. but when q body of it was en-
tered Il would extinguish the lamp He
thought the ventilation good. He did not
smell nor taste the dust in the crosscut
hole, but he was certain that no shot had
been fired.
James Ash, another member Of the
miners committee, discussed at length
the interior of the slope and the condition
in which he found it both on Sunday and
today. He had worked in the slope three
months, this being his first experience in
gas. His theory Of the explosion is that it
was caused by an ignition of fre-damp by
. naked light. He thinks the fire-damp
gathered in the pot-holes in the roof In the
seventh level, and that spark was COM
municated to the dust in the cross-cut.
He thinks that one explosive gas will set
off another element of the same character.
Mr.. Ash was subjected to a critical cx-
animation by Inspector Ed;nundson, at
the conclusion of which the inquest adj
journed until Tuesday morning.
Intense interest is conferred in the In
vestigation. some of the miners thinking
that they will not be fairly treated. The
company is taking no part in the exami-
nation Of witnesses. Full latitude is be-
ing given by the court, and every effort is
being made to ascertain the true cause Of
the explosion.

In tho House.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 16.-After the
approval of the journal this morning the
speaker laid before the House a Senate
communication inviting the House to at
tend the funeral ceremonies of the late
Senator Barbour in the Senate chamber
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the sundry appropriation
bill. Pending action the committee arose,
and the members, headed by Speaker
Crisp, walked two by two TO the Senate
chamber for the funeral services. After the
services the committee resumed session,
and Cogswell made an unsuccessful attempt
to increase the fish commission appropria-
ton. A motion to strike out the appro-
priation of $4,000 for detecting persons
guilty of violation of the internal revenue
laws was agreed to. "Retrenchment and
reform" was the text of various brief
speeches, and they were satirized by
Simpson, of Kansas, who ridiculed the
Democrats for haggling over small items
in the bill after having passed the i'm
mense river and harbor bill. He indorsed
the sub-treasury bill, and Taylor, of Ohio.
replied, predicting the failure of the sub
treasury scheme and downfall Of the ALI
ance party. Simpson denied that the
leaders of the Alliance had adj
vised the farmers to hold the
grain, and said the members of
the Republican party were the only
persons who advised the course in aues-
ton. Simpson said that unless the
farmers were given the same equality as
was given the gold and silver miners and
bondholders they would know the reason
why after the next election. Watson of
Georgia and Davis of Kansas advocated
the sub-treasury system. The clause for
the recoinage, reissue and transportation
of minor coins having been reached, Tracy
of New York made a point OF order against
it, as he did also against free silver
amendment offered by Bartine of Nevada.
Both points went over for the present
without decision. The committee then
rose and the House adjourned.

METHODIST BISHOP Ar SEATTLE.

The Conference Votes for . Residence
IN This stats-spokane After It.
OMAHA, May 16.-[SpeciaL This being
the day and night before the election to
the different offices in the general confer
ence, every one IL shaking hands and
smiling affably on his neighbor's face.
Not frown appears on any, although
many wear an anxious look. Today the
COMMITTEES in episcopacy presented sew
erai reports. The first, recommending
that no new bishops be elected, was passed
after very short debate. as those who
were opposed to such motion made their
determination plainly visible. The lay
men were resolved, if necessary. to defeat
such an election by calling for
separate vote by order. No bishops
having died or become disabled during the
quadrennium, it was thought that the
episcopal force was sufficiently manned,
and that any extra expense should not be
put upon the church. The recommends
ton for residences was passed in this
shape, to-wit: That the present residences
of Buffalo, Cincinnati, Topeka and Fort
Worth be retained, and that the state Of
Washington and Detroit, Mich, be added
to the list, the bishops to choose their own
residences by seniority. The recommends
tions of the committee for Europe and
China or Japan were stricken out, as the
constitution and national questions were
involved, as many of the general super
intendents were residented in foreign
countries, and both of these places were
opposed to receiving missionary bishops.
A telegram from Spokane to DR.. Buck
ley, as chairman of the committee, was
!, al do, in hat cit "
The doctor also presented q verbal guar
antee for Seattle. It is probable that one
of the bishops, perhaps either Joyce or
that Bishop Ninde will select Detroit,
the responsibility of the choice being thus
with the bishops themselves.
Tomorrow's elections are for missionary
secretaries, book agents, secretaries OF the
Freedman's Aid Society and board of
church extension, with the editors OF the
different church papers or advocates. DR..
Buckley's seat is secure, as no rival candi-
date has been proposed. and the doctor
is immensely popular at this conference.
DR.. Hamilton, of Boston. and DR.. Palmer,
OF New York, may be the new missionary
secretaries, and DIR. Swlndell. of Philadel-
phia, will be elected to the Freedman Aid
Society, while new editors are spoken of
for the Northwestern advocate, at Chicago,
and the Northern ADVOCATE, at New York.
Many are the candidates for the Central
advocate. at st. Louis. DR.. Marsden, of
that city, being the first in the field.
Tomorrow night will solve many eccle-
siastical problems. The church extension
grant for Trinity church, Seattle, has not
yet been made. but the papers are expected
daily and will be signed when they come,
as will also the papers for grant to Trim
ity church, Port Townsend. All of the
Puget sound and Portland people and rep
resentatives who are here are well and
active.

there should be fresh water harbor on
