of Keut lorle Gains a Tietory Over the Englishman. BUFFALO, N. Oct. Matty Matthew of JNew York knocked out Stanton Abbott of London, England, in the seventh round before 2000 people at the Empire Athletic Club arena to-night. The men entered the ring at 10 o'clock.

They were apparently in good condition, Matthews looking particularly well. They weighed in at pounds and were to go fifteen rounds. In Abbott's corner were Jim Daly and Mike Leary of Buffalo, while. Matthews' seconds were Jim Hayes and Ed Prinjjle. In the opening round Matthews went after his man in a hurricane iashion, and throughout the seven rounds he had it all his own way.

He fairly smothered" me "Englishman, who seemed completely puzzltd by Matthews' peculiar style of fighting. Matthews would crouch nearly to thfi floor and then rush, swinging right and lett savagely, and seldom failed to lafid a telling blow.

Officers Believe the Thbf Is a Resident and an Expert at the Business. SANTA BARBARA, Oct.

12 and 1 o'clock to-day a daring robbery was pf rpetrated in the Santa Barbara stage ollice. J. B. Leach, manager of the company, had stepped out to lunch, leaving the 'office doors open, as was' his wont, but the big safe locked with the day combination on. The robber opened the safe and possessed himself of about $80, a good portion of this money being scattered through fifteen envelopes which had been sent in frorii various eating stations along tne line.

Each of these envelopes was found torn open and rilled. The Sheriff and his force are looking for the safecracker, who is evidently an expert in his line. Leach was absent an hour, but the office was only deserted for some fifteen or twenty minutes of that time. Two stablemen were working in the stable 'at the rear all the time. Three months ago the stable was looted at night and a similar turn taken.

Officers believe I that the same man did both jobs and that he resident of Santa Barbara, who by some means was -enabled to himsalf of the day combination of the leek. MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED. Through a Torn Scrap of Paper the Identity of James Biggs and His Son Is Established. PORTLAND, Or Oct. The identity oi the two men whose dead bodies were found near Red Rock on the old Surprise Valley trail in Lassen.

County, in the early part of September was established'to-day in Portland through a letter from the District Attorney at Susanville to the clerk of. the Circuit Court making inquiries about the Case of Biggs vs Goodenough. A torn scrap of paper, a receipt for a fee for filing the complaint, but with the name of the party to whom issued 'missing, has furnished the information for which the Susanville authorities have been looking ever since September 10, when the finding of tbe bodies was rep rted. The" men who were killed are James Biggs and his son, aged 19 years, who left here a year ago last spring. They worked here for some months.

Biggs and his son were from lowa. They spoke of having a family of relatives back there, but did not mention any particular locality. Bigss and his son were -shot- to death while around a camprire; Appearances indicated that the murderer tried to cremate the bodies after robbing them. The men were entire strangers in that country and the supposition was that they were killed by who were herding sheep. Two of the men known to be in the srang nf terward sold a band of sheep at Reno," Nev.

The suit mentioned in the slip ot the receipt for a fee was a mechanic's lien brought by Biggs and two companions for labor performed. The case was dismissed May 17, 1895.

JOSEPH BASTON DEAD He Was Wdi Kucwa Among the Masons Throughout the State. A Great Desire to Present at the Laying of the Cornerstone Hastened His End. The Masonic fraternity of this City has lost one of its old and highly respected members in the death of Joseph Gardner Baston. who expired at 9:30 o'clock last evening at his residence at 1719 a Eddy street.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1896. THE PHOENIX CLUB "WHOOPS IT UP" Thus the Chairman Expresses the McKinley Enthusiasm. Colonel Taylor and Ex-Congressman Stowell Speak to the Point THE ACT OF 1873 ELUCIDATED. Many Candidates on Busy Prep- aration for the Great Saturday Parade.

Greek and red fire, skyrockets and pyrotechnics galore. This was the introdircduction to the grand rally of the Phceoix Club, held at Scottish Hall last evenine. It was undoubtedly one of the best meetings of the campaign. The assemblage' was addressed by Colonel C. L.

Taylor, ex-Congressman Police Judge Charles Low, Stowell of Minnesota, Georpe Elder and many In a terse but well-worded speech Chairman Shaben introduced Colonel Taylor as "tbe next Mayor of San Francbco." As Mr. Taylor rose to address his audience he was greeted with hearty applause. "I am often asked," he said, after a few words of greeting, "to say what I will do if I am elected Mayor. Now this queslien, I must confess, is rather hard to answer, but I will tell you what I am goinp to do if I am elected Mayor by reading you an interview I had with a Call reporter, published last Saturday." Colonel Taylor then read the interview as published in The Call, at tiroes making comments upon certain points. Hg was frequently interrupted by the enthusiasm of his hearers, which boiled up and found vent in cheers, yelling stamping of feet.

"In conclusion." soid Colonel Tayor. "I wish to ask you to stand steadfast for Republican principles and prosperity, and we will roil ud in this City a majority for McKinley and protection of 10,000 voies." Colonel Taylor took his seat amid the most enthusiasm. He was followed by Charles A. Low, candidate for Police Judge, who was also warmly greeted. He said "It is not becoming in a candidate for a judicial position to say much about himself.

His acts should speak for him. In fact the less a Judge says anywhere the better. "A man should be fairly tried and discharged or pronounced guilty, as the case might be. He should not be scored. The law does not require it.

When he steps outside the law and in his private personality gives a man a tongue-lashing he does something entirely unnecessary and a man never lorgets." Judge Low ended by prophesying that the duties of Polio Judge would soon fall It-ss hard upon the incumbent, because as soon as McKinley it elected prosperity will reign and popr men have less incentive to crime and drunkenness. Georce Elder was the next speaker. His introduction by the chairman was the signal for loud calls and cheers. "You all know me," said Elder, "and you know my record. If I am elected I can do no more than I have already done for the last two years.

If I cm elected I am going to run the office of Superintendent, of Streets upon a business basis, something that has not been done for a long lime. "In pursuing the course dictated by duty I may have made fome enemies, but if so it has been done in the interest of the City. No man should leel sore at defeat caused by discharging his duty." Short speeches were then made by O. K. McMurray, candidate for Justice of'the Peace, and William T.

Kibbler and Charles E. Fredericks, candidates for the school directorship, and then, with the large assemblage inotitine and cheering and stamping, ex-Congressman W. H. Stowell of Minnesota acknowledged the introduction of the chairman. "Your chairman has told you that I voted for the act of J873, and will have something to say to you about it.

Yes. I for the act of 187-J, and I shall have something to say to you tbout it." After referring to the great business depression of the country and the causes therefore. Mr. Stowell referred to the Chicago platform as a mixture of Altgeidism, Tillmanism and anarchism. "I was a member of Contrress in 1873," said Congressman Stowell, "and I voted for the Sherman act.

I have never regretted it either, and I think it was one of the best measures that ever passed Congress. If it was not why has no member of Congress in these twenty-three years tried to repeal it? "The Bryanites try to make the public believe it was passed by secrecy and stealth. That is perfect nonsense. The bill was printed eleven times and was up in various forms something like seventynine times before rive sessions. if, as Bryan promises, under free silver the dollar will advance to 29 in value wny don't the Democrats buy up all the bullion in the country? They would make untold fortunes if Bryan's words are true and he is elected.

'-But they know his words are untrue and he won't be elected." After Congressman Stowell had done speakinir, the following mule short addresses on their own candidacy: T. J. Sullivan, candidate for the Assembly from the Thirty-first; Edward Aigeltinger, for Supervisor from the Twelfth Ward; Edward L. Head. Phil Hammond, Dr.

Mr. Cushman is a distinguished young lawyer of Tacomn. who has gained the sobriqupt of "The Abe Lincoln of the Northwest" by reason of his remarkable physical and intellectual resemblance to the great emancipator and Presidential hero of the nineteenth century. Mr. Cushman is very tall and aneular and, like his great prototype, is as slim as a rail, riis manner and oven his voice are like tnose of the great Lincoln.

He has the same remarkable aptness at story-telling ana an eloquence that has aroused the highest enthusiasm of the Republicans in the pre-ent campaign in Washington. He has stumped the State of Washington for McKinley and made a marked impression wherever he has spoken. Cnshrnan is also homely both in manner and speech, eccentric to a degree, and thoroughly original in his method of address. ADVICE TO JUDGES.

We. BOLTED OVER THE CHARTER A Lively Meeting of the California Labor 1 Convention. Several Delegates Very Bitterly Opposed Its Condemnation. DISCUSSED MANY NEW LAWS. Legislative Candidates Will Be Called Upon to Place Themselves on Record.

For a while there were lively times at the meeting of the California Labor Law convention, which convened at Market street last evening, and the turmoil resulted in a number of the deleeates bolting rather than being compelled to vote in condemnation of the ihjw charter. The stand of the bolting element was not in favor of tbe proposed document, but the men did not want to vote upon a matter on which they had not received instructions from their respective unions. At the previous meeting a committee was selected to examine into the merits bf the labor laws proposed by the trades unions and by Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald. Last evening the committee made its report, ana near the end asked the convention to make some recommendation relative to the new charter. P.

H. McCarthy at once moved that a resolution be passed condemning the charter from first to last. Several delegates oppo.sed the motion, stating that the convention was called for the purpose of amending and creating laws for the benefit of the laboring classes, and not for the purpose of discussing politics or municipal affairs, A reading of the call for the convention substantiated this statement, but for all that it brought out a lively little storm. W. McArthur, A.

Furuseth and McCarthy tired hot shot into the camp of those who or-posed the resolution. While McArthur and McCarthy were using such words as "cowards" and "afraid," a body of the Building Trades' delegates left the bail, declaring that a condemnatory action would break up the convention. The other element prevailed and tiie charter was duly condemned. The other business was relative to labor laws. No action was taken upon the proposed amendment of the mechanics' lien law, as the National trades unions have the matter in hand.

An adverse decision was taken upon the act providing for the branding of all articles made by convicts, on the ground that it virtually recognizes the right of convicts io manufacture goods in competition with tree labor. Act No. 13, providing that nopeison not a citizen of the United States shall be employed upon State or municipal work, called out a heated argument, but it was approved by a vote of 19 to 12. An amendment to the statutes exempting certain properties from attachment and seizure, providing that the wages of sailors apd fishermen also be exempt, was approved. It was recommended that Labor day be changed to the first Monday in September.

It wus also recommended that Boards of Supervisors be petitioned to refuse to grant liquor licenses to saloon-keepers who comluct employment bureaus. Adverse action was taken on the recommendation that stonework on municipal noil tracts should be done only in the counties paying for the improvements. It was decided to send letters to all candidates for the Senate and Assembly, requesting that tuey attend the next meeting of the labor convention and sign a to support the proposed iaws favored by the convention. The body will meet again next Sunday morning. A PINK-ROSE LUNCHEON Mrs.

Fisher Ames Delightfully Entertains Twenty-Two Ladies. A Congenial Company Discusses an Elaborate Menu Amid Artistic Surroundings. To Mrs. Fisher Ames belongs the honor of the first elaborate entertainment of the season. Twenty-two ladies assembled yesterday at 1 o'clock at the Ames residence, 1414 California street, in response to luncheon invitations.

The company was a congenial one, the menu delicious, the decorations artistic and, last but not by aay means least, the hostess tactful and charming. Under these conditions it was impossible that the luncheon should be otherwise than it an unqualified success. Pink was the prevailing tone of the decoration. In the center of the large round table was an immense bed of pink rosebuds, four feet in diameter. Fink rose 3 were strewn with artistic carelessness here and there on the satiny damask and pink candles in silver candelabra shed a soft radiance over the exquisitely appointed table.

Everywhere in the handsome dininghall there were vases and bowls filled with fragrant pink blossoms, and in the adjoining dra wing- room the same decorations prevailed. Seated at tbe table were Mrs. Hager, Foutes, Mrs. Edward Martin, Mrs. McKenna, Mrs.

COOK'S ANSWER. He Wns Special Counsel for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in the Worden C'ate. Carroll Cook has sent the following letter to The Call in reply to resolutions adopted by the American Railway Union, advisinc his defeat because he appeared as special counsel for the prosecution of Harry A. Knox, Thomas Compton, John Mullen and S. D.

Worden for the murder of Engineer Clark and four United States soldiers during the great railroad strike of 1804. Mr. Cook on that occasion was employed by and appeared for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and was not Irs the service of the Southern Pacilic Company at all. His letter is as follows: To the Editor of the Ca'l-SiR: The inclosed excerpt from this morning's Call, showing i the action taken by the American Railwa Union a meeting held yesterday, explains itself. Knowing that you have always stood in this community for law and order I fully ask that you take this matter up and make such defense of me as you see fit for having fully dischnrged the duties of my profession, fam confident that the citizens in this community v.ho favor law and order will not permit an organization, which attempts to indorse such an assassination as was committed at Woodland of an innocent engineer and United States soldiers performing their duty, to defeat a candidate, objected to solely because of his having performed his duty under his sworn oath as an attorney and counselor-at-ljiw.

In the railway strike cases tried at Woodland in 1894 Judge J. W. Armstrong of Sacramento was employed by and represented the Southern Pacific Company, Mr. Hatch appeared as District Attorney, and I was employed and appeared on behalf of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (a railway employes' organization) to which Samuel Clark, the engineer who was killed, belonged. In those cases I permitted nn in justice to be done any one.

Newspaper articles containing my argument and showing mv conduct in the trial of the cases will fully bear me out in this. The defendants, and each and every one of them, at tbe conclusion of each trial thanked me for the fair and impartial manner in which I had prosecuted the cases. 1 allowed no improper evidence to be introduced and tried the cases strictly upon legal evidence with the result that S. D. Worden was convicted and his conviction subsequently sustained by the Supreme Court of the State.

The morning papers of July 19,1894 (The Call in particular and the Bee) give an account of the'eommencement of proceedings Woodland and show clearly that I appeared in those cases as a representative, not of ihe Southern Pacific Company, but of ihe Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. F. V. Meyers, chairman ol that organization, who resides in this City, at 338 Cnpp street, will fully bear me out in tnis assertion. In the newspapers of that date, and especially in the Sacramento Bee, will be found my argument at the preliminary examination, wherein I differed with other counsel who were associated with me in prosecuting the case; and, although contending the defendants accused should be hela to answer, I repudiated the contention of other counsel in the case that every member of the American Railway Union was guilty.

Yours truly, Cakkoll Cook. The folio wine; is corroborative: San Francisco, Oct. 28, 1896. Carroll Cook, Attorney at Dkak Sik: I have your request ot even date, viz. That I procure for you a copy of the resolution of subdivision No.

283, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, authorizing your employment as special counsel to represent the said subdivision in the prosecution of those who were responsible for the derailment of the passenger train at trestle miles west of Sacramento, on July 11. 1894, whicn derailment resulted in the death oi Engineer Sam Clark, a member of the subdivision immed. I have twken steps to procure the copy asked for, and as soon as it is at hand will forward it to you. In this connection I will add that, being one who, in connection with a committee ol two of tne members of I.eland Stanford Division No. 283, opened the negotiations between yon and the suDdivUion, that resulted in your employment as special counsel, as named above," I am in a position to say that, as suca special counsel, you acted as the representative only of the subdivision named.

One Of its members had been murdered, ana it was the desire of the subdivision, while laying not one finger's weight on any innocent man, to do ell possible to bring those who were guilty to justice. Hence your employment. Yours truly, P. V. Meyers, Chairman, G.

System. AMONG THE MINERS, Return of Samuel M. Shortridge From a Trip in the Mountains. Honest and Sturdy Representatives of the Typical Gold Diggers Are Solid for McKinley. Samuel M.

Shortridge returned last night, alter a week's successful campaigning in remote and out-of-the-way mining districts of Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. These are the historic regions from which BrefHarte drew the materials for his charming idyis of Californian life before the chief industry of the State was changed to fruit-raising, but the same whole-souled, open-handed, brave miner is there to-day in the canyons and among the pine-clud hills. Mr. Shortridge reports that he is more than pleased with the result of his missionary work among the hard-working miners. He was cordially received, and what he had to say was attentively listened to.

He was gratified to find that a great change of sentiment had taken place within the last few weeks in favor of protection and its apostle, McKinley. Everywhere he went he found the most enthusiastic audiences and a strong feeling in favor of the Republican electors. He reports that this leeling exi-sts pretty generally in Sntter Creek, Angels Camp, Sonora, Mokelumne Hill, Jackson, San Andreas and several other places which he visited or heard from. Hence he returns in excellent spirits feeling and rejuvenated from his through the mountains where the miners delve for gold. 5 I.
