a Church Boxing Glass In Jersey City
CNew York DisDatch.)


A boxing class has been started in con-
nection with the institute of st. Johns
Episcopal church, Jersey City, of which
the Rev DR. E. L. Stoddard is the rector.
1t is announced in st. Johns Bulletin TO
meet every Friday night. Ten cents will
be charged for each lesson. The class
will be instructed by John l.. Kirk of this
city. Mr.. Kirk is a skilled boxer and a
brother-in-law of the Rev. e. S. Forbes,
vicar of the parish, under whose personal
direction the institute has been placed.
Mr. Forbes believes in young men learn
ing how to use their fists. even though
the occasion may never arise when they
will be obliged to put their knowledge
into practice. He does not believe that
taking boxing lessons will inspire a love
for prize fighting. He viii permit no pub
lie exhibitions by members of the class.
The Rev. e. L. Stoddard has decided
views on the boxing question.
1T is not worse than dancing" he said
to a reporter, and [ see no reason why
the young men in the church should not
have an opportunity to learn how to use
their fists.
II believe that it makes a fellow more
manly to feel that he can use his fists if
he is forced to it."

agreement of the San Francisco Tim Der Preserving Company with Curtis & 1saacS relative to the use of the pat ent chemical preparations for the piles This was dropped, and the books of the firm of Darby Laydon & Co. were taken up, and the evidence of the wit ness showed that the affairs of that concern, the Timber Preserving Com pany and the Slade Lumber Company were so closely interwoven as to make their divorce impossible
 In the books there were ensures, er- roneous entries, etc, that only the wit ness could understand. There was one item showing difference of $400 in a footing, and two others that referred to the payment of nearly s500 to the members of the Pile-drivers' Associa- tion, of which Dundon is the treasurer; but why these latter sums should ap- pear in the books of the firm the wit ness did not attempt to explain, and protested against doing so on the ground that the affairs of the P. D. A. should not be forced from him. Then came some very pointed questions by Attorney Cope as to what appeared to be erasures and changes and for what purposes certain sums of money were pald out. Dundon failed to remember and he was excused until he could re- II ACSh HIS LitmOTy. Late Tn the after noon he was again placed on the stand. and by the time he got through his ac- customed smile was not visible.
 The witness explanations failed to explain to the satisfaction of the Paraf- me Company's attorneys, while the books showed most strange system or Keeping accounts. Dundon's reason for the insertion of the names of Mat terson, Patterson" and Patterson. !" that attracted much interest, seemed to be of questionable merit He said that the former bookkeeper for Darby Laydon x Co, Townley by name, got into business for himself and left the firms books in a bad way. Later on. after Townley failed, he asked for his former position, and his request was refused. This angered Townley, who threatened to expose that Patterson matter" It was this that induced Dundon to have the present bookkeeper change the entries of Patterson on the books to the names ending in "atter- son" that have caused so much com ment.
 Dundon was closely questioned as to what these dealings between Patterson and Laydon consisted of, but he re- fused to answer, saying that they were private matters between these two men named. The court and the specta- tors were left to surmise what could be the secret transactions between the head of the Darby Laydon Company and the former superintendent of con s+~uction for the Harbor Commission CTS

WILL FITzSIMM0NS
 BREAK HIS WORD?
The Champion Offered Tempt ing Inducements to Fight
 Corbett Again.
His Friends Are Sanguine That the Cornishnaan Will Refuse the
 Offer

Jim Corbett, the scientific boxer, and Bob Fitzsimmons, the champion punch CT, may meet again in the Sagebrush State, to battle for the veriscope cham pionship. s
 Dan Stuart, 'the man of fine hand and large head" who failed to make a barrel of money from the pictures taken of the fight on March IT, last, is anxious for another trial, believing that the improvements recently made in in- stantaneous photography will result in successful shots of the fighters being taken, in case they meet again.
 Of course, MT. Stuart, for reasons best known to himself, does not wish to figure as one of the interested par ties now making arrangements for a second meeting of the pugilists in the city of Carson.
 According to recent developments Joe Harvey, well-known turfite of this city, has been appointed director general of the proposed battle between champion Bob and boxer Jim. which is to take place in July next at some point west of the Missouri River.
 It is said that purse of $50. .0OO has been offered to Corbett and Fitzsim- mons, and that the offer was made by a syndicate of sporting menrepresented by Mr. Harvey. The conditions are that the fighters can divide the purse as they please, but so far as a per centage of the privileges is concerned they will have no voice in the matter.
 The whole thing has all the earmarks of a big money-making scheme.

 The Valencia came out in command of Captain James Lord, making the passage in 551z days. The run from the Straits of Magellan was made in twenty-four days, and Captain Lord said he could have easily reduced that time by at least one hundred hours had it not been for the continual fog which was met with on the way up the coast. Before leaving Baltimore Captain Lord wrote to the owners of the vessel here that he would arrive in San Francisco February 15. He kept his promise to the hour, as at 1 D. m. the'Valencia was alongside the Mission-street wharf ready to begin discharging.
 The Valencia is a fine steel steamer of 1197.56 net burden. She was built in Philadelphia in 1882, is 252.E feet long, 34 feet broad and 19.7 feet deep. She has a nominal horse power of 900 and can make about, thirteen knots an hour. The Valencia is not unlike the Maripo- Sa and Alameda, and when fitted out she will have accommodations for

 A great number of people bound for the Klondike via Dyea and Skaeuav are going to send their provisions bv the all-water route. They will take along with them just enough provisions to last them until the river opens, and everything else they will send to Sit. Michael for transhipment on the river steamers.

BOTH ROBBERS
 WORE MASKS The detectives Searching for Two Desperate
 Men. Held Up William Becknan's Grocery-Store on Bryant
 Street.
Enptied the Cash Drawer and Got Away With Bottle of
 Liquor.

Captain Spillane and his men are anxious to secure the two robbers who, at the point of revolvers. held up the clerk in William Beckmans grocery store at Sixth and Bryant streets, last Monday evening, and got away with bottle of gin and a small amount of money. The clerk was conversing with customer named Reynolds, when the men, who wore masks, entered the store, and drawing their revolvers, or dered them to throw up their hands under penalty of being riddled with bullets. Reynolds was made to turn his face toward the wall while one of the robbers searched the cash drawers, securing about 30 cents. AS he walked from behind the counter he picked up bottle of gin, which he passed to the confederate. After warning the aston ished clerk not to make an outcry the desperate robbers then left the store, and immediately disappeared down Bryant street. As soon as they were out of sight the clerk ran outside and lustily shouted for the police.
 Officer O'Connor responded and on being told of the daring robbery he at once sent word to Captain Spillane The latter detailed several of his men to hunt for the robbers, but up to a late hour last night they had not suc- ceeded in obtaining a clew to their identity. The clerk in the store seri- ously doubts whether he can identify the men in case they are arrested. He described one of them as being about 35 years of age and wore a dark slouch hat, which was pulled down over his eyes.
 The other, he thinks, was much younger. He also wore slouch hat, and was shabbily dressed.
 The police are inclined to believe that the robbers are the same men who entered a grocery store in the same vicinity several weeks ago, and after holding up the proprietor and several patrons purloined the contents of the cash drawer.
 One of the men was arrested, but as his victims were unable to identify him he was released.

 The steamer Morgan City, now due here from the East, will be ready to go into the Klondike trade a few days after her arrival. Before she sailed for this coast she was built up and 168 staterooms added to her, besides ac- commodations for many more passen- gers in the tween decks. The stars, the emblem of the old Morgan line have been painted off the smoke stack and a shield bearing a miners pick and shovel, the emblem of the new com- pany, has been placed In their stead.
 The British bark Helen Denny made a long run to San Francisco of seventy five days from Newcastle, N. S. W. From the time she left Australia the old vessel never had a chance, as noth- ing but light and variable winds were encountered during the passage.
 The steamer Australia will not get away for the sound tomorrow, as at first expected. The alterations cannot be completed in time, so she will sail next Monday at p. m.

w. D. COnniff Tells How Old Piles Were Resold to the
 HapbOr COmmiSS SiOnepS.
Hundreds of Timbers Not Up to the Stan dard Sizes Disposed Of to the
 State.

The attorney next called the atten- tion of the witness to lot of spruce piles that some time ago had been sold to the Commissioners. The witness explained that spruce timber is of no account for piles. It is soft and decays easily, while as rule 1t IS full or knots and too slim for wharf uses. Wharf builders do not like it and do not use it.
 Then arose the matter of the size of the piles delivered to the San Fran cisco Timber Preserving Companys S works for creosoting, and Attorney Stratton made more objections, but to no purpose, and Conniff stated that the larger part of the piles delivered were small. averaging from ten to twelve inches at the butt. On the front they are called pipe stems"

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Yardmaster Hedges Crushed Between
 The Cars.

A sad and fatal accident occurred on the Pittsburg & Gulf near the city, Friday night Hugh Hedges, the night yardmaster, being the victim. During the heavy wind storm Friday evening tree fell across the telegragh wires nine miles south of town. Hedges re- celved orders to remove it and taking an engine and caboose left for the scene. Upon arriving, the engine was cut loose from the caboose and run ahead short distance. Hedges then proceeded to tie rope into the draw head of the engine with which to pull the tree off the wires. He was stand ing in the center of the track imme- diately in front of the drawhead. While in this position and without the slightest warning the caboose started and rolled down, catching and crush ed him between the drawheads. Tn the hurry the men had not stopped to set the brakes on the caboose, (which was boxcar slightly remodeled with the brakes clear up on top)
 He only lived thirty minutes after being released from his horriable po- sition. His body was taken to his home in the east part of town. He was married man, but about three weeks ago his wife was called to the home of her parents on account of her mothers sickness. She had not re- turned and although the remains ofI her husband were buried Sunday afternoon, it is doubtful if she knows of his death as vet. Her parents live forty miles from a railroad the nearest station being Harrison Ark. Teie- grams were sent and every effort made to reach her but at last report no reply has been received
