With a BIo,v on the Jaw.

NEW YORK, jan 30.-Terry McGovern,
of Brooklyn, met Caspar Leon, of this city.
before the Greenwood Athletic Club of
Brooklyn tonight in a bout which was
scheduled for twenty-five rounds at 1l5
pounds Leon weighed in at 10, McGovern
just scaling the limit. Fast fighting marked
the first half dozen rounds, with McGovern
always on the aggressive. Caspar was un-
able to return with anything but left jabs.
In the twelfth and final round McGovern
cut loose when he found his opponent part
ly disabled and showered blow after blow
with both hands on the face and head and
neck, While Caspar seemed unable to keep
up his guard. Toward the close of the round
McGovern caught Leon near the ropes and
hooked a left hard on the point of the jaw,
sending the New Yorker prone on the floor
where he lay helpless until the referee
counted him out.

MRS. GEORGE IN COURT.
George ID. SaXtOn's Alleged slayer VIII
Try to Prove an AIibi.

CANTON o.. Jan. 90-Mrs Annie E.
George, indicted for murder in the first de-
gree for killing George D. Saxton, the
brother of Mrs. William Mckinley, was
brought into court to-day to hear argu-
ments on motions preliminary to her ar
raignment tomorrow. She appeared cheer
full and was much interested in the pro-
ceedings. Attorney Sterling read a motion
to quash the indictment and followed with
arguments. Prosecutor Pomerene addressed
the court next and John c. Welty closed
the argument. Judge Taylor took the mat
ter under adVisement and will hand down
his decision Tomorrow morning, when the
arraignment of Mrs George, for the mur-
der in front of Mrs. Althouse's residence
last October, will follow at once 1t is
thought there will then be no more pre-
liminary motions and that the trial win
proceed. Attorneys for Mrs. George will
endeaVor to establish an alibi. They say
they have a witness who will testify to
having stood on a bridge near the scene of
the shooting and hearing the shots fired.
Then he walked away and met Mrs. George
at a distance from the scene of the muir
der impossible for her to have reached if
she had done the killing. Mrs. George had
thrilling experience last Saturday night
when six prisoners escaped from the Jail in
which she is imprisoned.

EASY JOB FOR SHARKEY.
The Sailor knocks Out Jack McCOF-
mick in the Second Round.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9O.-Tom Sharkey
put out Jack Mccormick, of this city, in the
second round of what was to have been a
sx-round go at the Arena tonight The
bout lasted as long as it did probably be-
cause the sailor wanted to give the great
crowd present something for their money.
Sharkey decided to end the exhibition after
a lively exchange in the opening of the
second. He put in left upper cut, sent
right and left in turn to the jaw and
brought the right up again to the same spot.
Mccormick went down and stayed the limit.
When he got to his feet again Tom banged
a right in the stomach and left on the jaw
and the local man went out of business.
The round lasted two minutes and fifteen
seconds.
After the bout Sharkey announced that
ORourke would, his behalf cover the
money deposited in New York by FitZsim-

SPEAKER WRIGHT RESIGNS.
Outcome of the Sensa atiOnaI Develop
ments in the California Contest.

ments i'm the California Contest.
SACRAMENTO Cal. Jan. 30-When the
Assembly had been called to order to-day
Speaker Wright rendered his resignation as
speaker of the House. In his resignation he
set forth that he had been guilty of no
crime and that he regarded the findings of
the special committee as not warranted by
the evidence but that as the report showed
that a number of the members of the body
thought his conduct censurable that he had
concluded to take the course he had taken
in passing in his resignation. At 2 o'clock
the resignation was accepted and Alden An
derson, speaker pro tenn. of the Assembly,
was elected to Wright's place. f. T.. Dunlap,
of San Joaquin, was elected speaker pro
TEN. to fill the vacancy caused by the ad-
vancement of Anderson.
After considerable debate the report of the
special committee as presented to the House
on last Friday was adopted, and the COM
mittee discharged, except that ii remains
in being to hear the testimony of Hilton J.
A resolution was introduced by Mr.
Burnett. Dem, providing for the unseating
of Wright. The resolution was denounced by
Dibble Rep, of San Francisco, as being
cruel and out of place. the young man
(WrighD having received punishment
enough already. The resolution was lost, but
one OF the members voting for 1t.
The vote for United States senator taken
at noon to-day showed the deadlock TO be
unbroken the ballot resulting the same as
those taken during the last ten days.

NO HOPE FOR CARLBM
SPANS PRETENDER ALLOWED HIS
OPPORTUNITY TO SLIP.
Might Have Succeeded Six Weeks
Ago, but Now There Is No POssibiI-
ity of Attaining the Throne.

LONDON, jan 30.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times, in a letter review
ing the situation in Spain, says: THE pros
poets of Carlism are waning. The Carlists
themselves complain that Don Carlos al
lowed a great opportunity to slip, when, six
weeks ago the country was filled with dis
may and indignation at the price of defeat.
He might have had a hope of success then,
for such a possibility was openly and freely
discussed Now the enthusiasm of even his
ardent admirers is chilled, and as the gem
eral opinion is that he mas little chance, the
subject is being dropped, the people realiz-
ing that salvation is not to be had that way.
At the same time the suspicious entertained
in some quarters that Great Britain has
been secretly backing the pretender are be-
ing dispelled This result is not due to the
supposition of Carlist propaganda. On the
contrary the government displays the
greatest tolerance, being apparently conf
dent of its own strength. Indeed there is
scarcely enough persecution to keep the
Carlist agitation alive In Madrid nowadays
it is difficult to find a simple sympathizer
with Carlsm, and no ground exists for the
exaggerated statements appearing abroad
as 10 the imminence of civil war and an
archy."
The correspondent, after analyzing the
change that has come over Carism since
the last civil war, says; The monarchy is
firmly established, and the Carlists them
selves are too strongly interested in the in
dustries and welfare of the country to risk
its ruin through revolution. The clergy,
owing to the POpe's influence, are much less
irreconciliable than formerly. The only
danger lies in the Basque provinces but
even there the people would not fight unless
they were well paid. No doubt the pre-
tender might succeed if he could win over
the army, but there is no sign that the
army is so inclined. | have been authorized
and requested to deny that the idea was
abdicate in favor of Don Carlos on condi-
ton that Don Jaime (son of Don Carlos
should marry the infanta Dona Maria.,,
