YICToRY FOE "sAGIYAW KID"


Lavigne.
San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 30.-George
Lavigne whipped Joe Waloott last
night, ard whipped him thoroughly.
Ten thousand people saw the fight,
which was under the auspices of the
Occidental Club.
Not one of the great crowd believed
the ending would prove unfavorable to
the Saginaw Kid" He set terrific
pace from the sound Of the gong in the
first round until the end of the 18th
round, and had a margin to the good
in every round. While Walcott stalled
off tbe sturdy Michigan mans rushes,
he could not stop LAvigne
A the close of the ninth round Joe
was seon to limp in going to his corner,
and his seconds gave their attention to
his logs. Walcott is subject to muscular
cramps in his lower limbs, and it was
this ailment which unfortunately at
tackled the colored man last night.
However, this attack did not affect his
fighting in the early rounds, and only
served to end the fight in Lavinge's
favor at an earlier stage than was
looked for. as it was apparent from the
beginning of the fifth round that
Lavinge's lead could not be overcome.
Lavigne fought for the body, and il
was these blows that took the life out
of the colorsd man.

FRONT sTGEET PAVING.

Market street to Madison.

The Thoroughfare TO be Improved From
Market street to Madison.
The plans prepared in the City Sur
yeying Department for altering Front
street between Market and Madison
have been adopted by the Street and
Sewer Department and are TO be carried
into effect this fall The Wilmington
City Railway Co. has begun laying it's
new L rails. 1t will first lay ths north
track to Washington street and then
the south track for the same distance,
and afterwards will extend both to
Madison. The railway company must
pave with Belgian block between is
rails and for three feet each side, and
the remainder of the street will be
paved by the city.
The changes in the street as decided
upon are intended to flatten the street
and prevent the inclination it has at
present from the north to the south
side. This object will be attained by
lowering this gutter ON the north side
and raising tine gutter on the south side
and making the south track slightly
lower than the north track. The gutter
on the north side will take off the drip
water and divert it into the inlets at
the corners. by the time the changes
are completed the street will be much
improved from its present condition.

lano, the sailor who refused to leave
the ill-fated Italian bark Francesca r.
in the terrible hurricane Monday night,
because he would make the 18th in the
yawl. had a sensational delivery from
what was thought certain death. When
Pilot W. j. Bennett prevailed on Capt.
Caiflano that the bark would surely go
to the bottom in the bay, the crew
made ready to brave fate in boat on
the mountainous waves rather than go
down on the ship without struggle.
When IL got into the hoaE Castellano
alone remained and his Auperstitions
GOT the better of him. As the lifeboat
left the sinking bark Csstellano was
seen kneeling on the deck, facing
the binding rain and praying. After
he finished his prayer the idea
occurred to him to build raft of the
spars and try and escape. With the
bark pitching and rolling and settling
deeper and deeper he set to work to
lash his pieces OF wood together. Then
with rope he tied himself to his frail
craft and jumped into the angry seas.
lie was buffeted about by the waveH
and preached until he was uncon-
scious. Finally, about dark. Tuesday,
he was tossed upon the sands at Big
Stone, about six miles below Bowers
Beach. Here he was found nearly dead.
