A New Trustee.

Owing to the fact that DR.. II. e.
Packer as trustee has disqualified
himself by moving from the state the
trustees of the l.. Il. Aldrlch estate
have appointed MIR. Nelson ID. Phelps
to fill the vacancy.
The appointment of Mr.. Phelps is
not only the unanimous feeling of the
trustees but it is fact that Mr.. AL
drich always expressed himself as in
favor of Mr.. Phelps but unfortunately
did not say so in his will. The trus'
tees knew of this and when it became
necessary to have a choice for the
place of Or. Packer it was the opinion
of all that Nelson d. Phelps shoulc
have it.
DR.. Packer is now practicing ir

LEASING OF THE OPERA HOUSE. ]

Now that bids for the leasing of the
opera house are being called for, is it
not possible that lease for more than
one year can be given, always subject
to cancellation by the aldermen having
the matter in charge? One year is
hardly sufficient for the lessee and
manager to book good shows at fair
advantage, as it is necessary some
times to fill dates six and as high as
nine months ahead. Another thing
is that if leased for say five years, then
the lessee could place hood on the
opera house and allow of any sized
scenery being placed therein.
The present lessee, w. w. Lapoint,
has given the public very fine sea-
son, sometimes under adverse circum-
stances, and the public in general would
like to see him continue in that capac-
ity. OF course there are many in the
city who would like to become the man
ager, but, everything else equal, the
man of the most experience should be
given the preference. If Mr.. Lapoint
should bid and that as high as any
other, it is to be hoped he will con-
tinue to be the man at the wheel.

PLuCKY FIGHT
Corbett Has the Better Of the
Great Boxing Battle
BUT WAS KNOCKED OUT
In the 23rd round by the
Cham pionJeffries.

Seaside Club, Coney Island, May II.
In the fastest, prettiest and closest
heavy weight ring battle ever fought
in New York, James j. Jeffries reaf-
tirmed his rightto the championship
last night, when he decisively defeat
ed Jim Corbett, once champion of the
world, after % rounds of scientific
boxing. 1t was clean Knockout that
came SO quickly that it dazed the
thousands Of keen, alert, intent spec
tators and left them in doubt as to
just how the winning blow was deliv-
cred. 1t was avowed that it was a
left hand jolt to the jaw, but Jetrries
himself and Referee Charlie White
who stood at his side say it was a
right hand swing.
Up to the twentieth round the
victory was on the side of science and
Corbett. He had the better of II
bouts of the 20 rounds and seemed
likely to hold out. Jefferies, madden
ed by the danger of marring his repu-
tation, began series of desperate
rushes in which he mixed it fercely
with Corbett. Corbett had begun to
show the pace but while his punches
lacked force, he was still speedy on his
feet. He contented himself with
avoiding punishment. 1t became
simply question of how long that
that sort Of desperate game could be
kept up.
The end came with the suddenness
of a shock. The men had had two
fierce rallies, followed each time by
long range sparrng and were in to-
gether again. They were both fight
ing fast and hard. Suddenly there
was a report of sharp blow and Cor
bett dropped. 1t needed no count to
tell that Corbett S hopes for the cham
pionship again were in vain.
The crowd refused to cheer the VIC
tor but cheered the fallen man who
had made such plucky fight against
great odds.

Seven Persons Killed and
Many Injured
At PHILADELPHIA.
This Morning in a T unnel on
the B. and O. Road.

Philadelphia, May l2.-Seven per-
sons we're killed in a freight train
wreck this morning in the tunnel of
the Baltimore & Ohio, under 26th
street, Just outside Fairmount Park.
A fire followed the wreck and a dozen
tremen were injured while extinguish-
ing the flames, being overcome by the
smoke. The traffic is at a standstill
and the wreckage is now mass of
flames.
Four firemen were badly injured
and over 20 were treated to minor
injuries. Each of the oil cars con-
tanned 1000 gallons which spread rap
IDLY, burning everything with which
it came it contact. The collision oc-
CURED midway in the tunnel. The
lat is $500 feet long. Dense volu-
mes Of smoke are pouring from each
end. Holes were cut in the street
through the roof, but the liremen pen
ctrated only a short distance before
they were forced to turn back. All
attempts to reach the bodies were
frultless. Undoubtedly they were
burned beyond hope of recognition.
The wreck was caused by the tele-
graph operator, Frank Lantel, at the
station entrance of the tunnel, by
falling asleep. The rear section of a
heavy freight crashed into the first
scction inside the tunnel, killing the
engineer, George LOEB, the fireman
George llinchman, and five tramps
who were stealing ride. All the
dead were buried in the burning wreck
aye, and the firemen were enable to
enter the tunnel. Operator Lantel
has disappeared. Four tanks of oil
were broken, feeding the flames and
making the tunnel veritable fur
mace.
