DIXON GETS DECISION.
The Colored Pugilist Gains Victory Over
Griffin.

New York, April a6.-George Dixon Of
Boston, gained decision over Johnny
Griffin Of Braintree. Mass, in a twenty
round bout at 1873 pounds at the Broad
way Athletic club tonight. Since these
two met about twenty months ago in
Boston in twenty five round fight, in
which Dixon was victorious, Griffin has
been anxious to meet the little colored
wonder again, and certainly was in
excellent condition when he entered the
ring tonight. The Braintree lad was
trained to the hour, and the manner in
which he took his punishment tonight
proved that Griffin had done his best to
get into perfect shape for their effort.
Dixon out-pointed nini, however, and
landed three blows to GfiffiB's one. In
the last round Griffin landed hard blow
on Dixon's body which slni.de George
very careful, and he fought very sly until
the gong sounded.
Joe Elms, colored Of Boston, and Pat
sey Donovan of Philadelphia, met in the
opening bout for ten rounds. Referee
Roche declared the bout draw.
Steve Flanagan of Philadelphia and
George Ross of this city, in ten round
60 were the next pair. The referee de-
cided in favor of Flanagan.

when Miss Elizabeth Emery Dow and
Mr.. Charles Baker Mitchell, both of this

church was tastefuily decorated with
Easter lilies. ferns. and palms. Half way
down the centre aisles two evergreen
arches were erected, one bearing the
initial d, the other M. These letters,
made in white, were in pretty contrast
with the gresn ground.
The church was filled to OVERLOOKING

the aisle. First came the ushers, Messrs.
John Fl. Allen, Philip Q. Kilborn and

In white organizes over green silk, and
carried Easter lilies.
Then came the maid of honor, Miss

cousin of the bride, who wore white or
candle, over yellow silk and carried tea
roses
asThe bride followed on the arm OF her
brother, Mr.. Sterling 4. Dow, who gavs
her away. She looked very lovely in
ivory satin, en- traine, trimmed with
Duohesse and point lace. Her veil was
caught with diamond star, the gift
of the groom. The bridal party was
met at the altar, by tho groom and his
best man, Mr.. Edward A. Hay.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. DIR. Fem. Mr.. Murray's render
ing of DeKoven's 80 Promise Me. .
while the words were being said, added
to the impressiveness CT the occasion.
From the church, Mr.. aud Mrs. Mitchell
went to their future home at IL Park
street, where they gave reception to
their relatives and very intima to
friends. The house was beautifully deco
rated with palms and cut flowers, while
festoons of evergreen hung over
the doors and windows and entwlned
about the bannisters in the hallway. In
the dining room q large floral ball was
suspended from the chandelier and the
fireplace was banked with potted plants.
While the guests were enjoying the
young couples hospitality and prepar-
ing to give them rousing send off on
their wedding trip, the bride and groom
suddenly disappeared. An extended
search failed TO disclose their where
abouts and SO the happy pair escaped the
conventional shower of rice and old

able to coms to any decision in the
matter, but will undoubtedly notify Kel-

CHEAP DRUGS FOR SAY J0SEARs.
Secret Societies viii Open a Co. Operative
Store and AnBoUHcs Cut on
Bates.

SAN JOSE, CAL. Jan. 30.-The drug
gists Of this city have been dragged into
the war that has waged for some time be-
tween the physicians of the county and a
number of the secret societies, and steps
have been taken by number of the
lodges to establish a cooperative drug
store.
The trouble originated couple OF
months ago en- the Santa Cara County
Medical Society passed a resolution bind
ing its members not to act as physicians
for societies for less than the regular rate
charged by the profession. This aroused
the ire of several organizations and the
Sons of st. George and the Foresters in
6uced DR.. George Owen Willis of Grass
Valley.to come to San Jose and elected
him their physician.
The medicos passed resolutions agreeing
not to associate with or aid DR.. Willis in
any manner. A petition was circulated
among the druggists asking them to re-
fuse 10 compound DR.. Willis prescrip-
tions, and all the drugstores, with the ex-
ception OF one, entered into the compact.
The lodges mentioned have now engaged
q druggist and will shortly open store to
dispense drugs TO the various fraternal
societies and the trade generally. They
also propose to make big cut in all kinds
of drugs and proprietary articles.
