THE PUCILHTS.
IABEZ WHITE
 AND BRITT
That May Be the Next Battle
 Nelson and COrbett Hay Be Matched Other Inter- esaing Fight News.

San Francisco, Dec. 22-There is an air Of general satisfaction in this town over the result of Tuesday nights battle between Jimmy Britt and Bat ting Nelson. With the fight now over, the topic of conversation is: Who will be Britt's next opponent A number of challenges were read at the ring side. but as yet none Of them have been given any consideration.
 Of all the lefls hurled at the winner the one that will receive the most at tention is the challenge sent by Charlie Mitchell, the former English heavy weight pugilist, on behalf of his pro- tege, Jabez White. If matched the battle would have an international as- pect
 White will sail for America within q few days and it is not improbabl ble that Britt will agree to give the Eng fish boxer chance. Britt will, how ever, ask for few weeks rest before entering the ring again. Several or ganizations in this city are now busy trying to match Nelson with Young Gorbett, Britt to meet the winner.
 Every one at the ringsfde appIauded the grit, and stamina of NeIson5 and there were a few who believed that Referee Roche could have called the fight a draw. All seemed to agree that Britt showed the greater clever ness throughout.
 Tt was a repetition of the Jeffriesz Sharkey hght,'' said Referee Roche.
 Britt, like Jeffries, did the clever fighting, hitting cleanly and generally outpoinfing his opponent, while Nelson trusted to mad rnshes and his ability to withstand punishment"
 Neither man showed yesterday the effects of the terrible gruelling he got. Theretwas a slight scar on Britt's forehead. Nelson was unmarked.
 Britt's share of the purse, amounts to S8.S77, Nelson's to $5,9f8. The to- tai receipts were $26, 1900. The Yose- mite A.aC. receives S12. .10S. "

LTGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

There is as much of tangIe over the lightweight champ pionship as there is in relation to the featherWeight championship. After beating Nelson on Tuesday night, Britt said: ''I am stin the lightweight champion of the world When did Britt win the title2 Joe Cans has been the recognized champion lightweight for some time, and although he had the worst of his recent encounter with Britt, he re- tained the title because he won on a foul. Britt, therefore, must beat Cans fairly and esquarely before he can pro claim himself champion It would also seem necessary for him to win even more decisiyely from Nelson III another fight. Young CQrbett also bobs ilp with the statement that when he can get in his old form he will re- gain his "titIe' by whipping both Britt and Nelson. What title does he refer fo? Probably that of feather weight champion, although he never won it from Terry McGovern, as llley did not fight at 122 pounds, the feath- erweight limit. McGovern wants to fight Britt at 133 pounds, which can be taken to mean that be will never attempt to make the featherWeIght limit again. From this It can be said that Britt, Nelson, Corbett and Nc Govern are all nghtweights, and that according to all rules of the ring Cans IS still the champion of that class. And that brings to mind the fact. that there are many ring followers who in- sist that there was something wrong with the Britt Cans fight; that Cans did not do his best, and that if Britt nights him again there will be differ ent result.

A GREAT SURPRISE.
THE REPORT OF THE GRAND
JURY WAS BROUGHT
IN SEALED.
What the Grand Jury Did Not Say
Regarding the Greensboro
Female College Con-
fagration.

Greensboro, JAZZ. 23.-To the sur
prise of every one and the disap-
pointment of reporters, when the
grand Jury made its report this even
ing of the investigation ordered by
Judge Cooke of the college fire, and
his further special charge this morn
ing relating to fire protection in the
city buildings, his honor sealed the
report in an envelope without hav-
ing it spread on the minutes. Lest
this should be construed as tanta-
mount to making revelations, which
his honor certainly did not mean to
have created, the public should
know the purport of the report. The
following statement covers its salient
features and can be relied upon as
absolutely correct:
1t contains no reflection or crlt1-
cism of any officer of the college, any
individual or institution, or any city
official relative to the fire at the col
lege, or in regard to lack Of fire
escapes for the large hotels, city halls
or other public buildings in Greens
Boro. Recommendations and sug-
gestiOns were made to the solicitor
looking to certain Investigations.
This is the substance OF the report.
Questioned as to the secrecy en-
joined by the Judge, the solicitor
said that, such matters are always in
the discretion of the court as to
whether or not report Of a grand
Jury should be made public or
whether the recommendations made
to the solicitor should be pursued or
not as in his judgment as an official
he thought best and proper.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 25.-"I saw
big sheet of fame and turned to run.
Something seemed to hit me in the
middle of my back and I was knock
ed down on my face and knew
nothing more until wass found by
McCann.''
Such was the brief story of his
experience told by Adolph Coma,
eager, the only survivor so far, of
the explosion which occurred this
morning at the Harwick mine of the
Allegheny Coal Company, in which
one hundred and thirty-f)ur men
are believed to have lost their lives.
COMA was employed as ''cager" at
the bottom of the shaft and was at
work putting car of coal on the
cage at the time of the explosion. He
was rescued by James McCann, who
venture down the shaft first, about
= O'Clock this evening. Mccain is
badly injured. Gona's head and
breast are badly burned and the
SKIN and flesh were dropping off his
hands and arms as he was carried
into the little school house at Har-
wick. He was still conscious and
the physicians say he has a good
chance of life.
The explosion occurred at 500
this morning. Fire Boss J. A. Cor
don had made his usual rounds
early this morning and reported
everything all right. When the
miners reported for work the fire
bosses and Mine Foreman George
Brown went down with them.
According to the number of safety
lamps taken by the men there were
one hundred and thirty-four who
went dow the shaft this morning.
How the explosion occurred has
not yet been determined. The gas
was either set off by a blast, or a
miners pick struck into pocket of
gas, allowing it to light from the
| flame of the lamps. None had any
warning of what was coming. The
explosion was one of the most severe
| ever known in a mine in this section
of the country. The mule used at
| the foot of the shaft was just pulling
on a loaded car. He was blown
| right up the shaft and through the
tipple at the head, and landed, all
| broken and lifeless; two hundred
feet away from the mouth of the
pit.
Five men employed on the tipple
were injured, two so badly that they
have since died. They were Henry
Mayhem, aged SO, and George Dalt-
man, aged 27, employed as tipple
man. They died at West Pennsyl-
vania hospital, Pittsburg. T. III.
Gillispie, aged 40, weighmaster, was
brought to West Pennsylvania hos
pital; James Waltman, aged 25, tip
pleman, was taken home.
