THE COMING GREAT BATTLE.

Sullivan is at New Orleans Pulling in His Time Exercising.

THE BETTING IS ALL ONE WAY AS YET.

Kilrain Leaves Cincincinnati—A Quarrel Among the Backers—j Those Governors.

NEW ORLEANS, July 5.—The friends and admirers of Jake Kilrain were disappointed by the announcement this morning that the train on which he and his party were had missed connection at Cincinnati. Among the many who saw Sullivan at the Young Men's gymnastic club-rooma yesterday were not a few of the friends of Kilrain, who were actuated by a desire to see the man against whom Kilrain was to stand. Some of the best informed of these went away well satisfied, and Kilrain gained quite a number o( friends. The odds are still largely in favor of Sullivan ra the pool-rooms, but this is probably owing to the non-ar-rival of his adversary. Some of the latter's cohorts aver that their man will in no wise suffer in comparison with Sullivan, but on the contrary say that Kilrain will show up in much better form. The programme as regards Sullivan's transfer to Spanish Fort has been changed, and be is still quartered on Rampart street opposite opposite the Young Men's gymnastic club-rooms. A large crowd has been congregated in the vicinity ever since daylight this morning, and they appeared to be contented to watch the brick and mortar which Burrounds the hero of the hour.

At 10:30 o'clock Sullivan, Muldoon and Cleary proceeded to the gymnastic club-rooms and at once proceeded to the hall in the third story. With but few words they proceeded to strip, and the doors were then closed on all and no one allowed in the room save the three athletes, members of the club committee and a few others. Muldoon's medicine ball, a Bphere about eighteen inches in diameter, weighing about twen£y-five pounds and covered with leather was produced, and practice commenced by Muldoon hurling the ball at Sullivan with all his force. The latter caught it and threw it back with both hands, sometimes over his head from the chest, or with arms held down. This practice continued for half an hour, Cleary taking Muldoon's place, while Sullivan gave not the slightest evidence of fatigue or b»ing winded. During the exercise the athletes conversed on the subject of gymnasiums, and expressed themselves pleased with the young men's quarters. After the ball game came dumb-bell exercise, and Sullivan and Muldoon wrestled, the former gaining several falls. Sullivan showed himself in perfect condition. The rather protruding stomach had reduced somewhat and he showed up in better form than on his first appearance in the gymnasium. Those who were present and witnessed his exercise declared him to be a sure winner, no matter what form Kilrain might be in. After the wrestling came rope skipping, at which Sullivan has proved himself quite an adept. H1B movements were graceful, lithe and active, and after skipping the rope for more than thirty minutes gave not the slightest evidence of distress or fatigue. After the exercisc the three men returned to the baths, and afterwards Sullivan was rubbed down by his attendants.

The "St. Joe Kid," Coburn and other pugilists are still at the St. Charles and unanimous in the opinion that Sullivan will win. The "Kid" said, in referring to Kilrain's chances in the coming battle: "He is as much out of the fight as an unborn colt is out of the stable with the

wide open."

Kilrain is expected to arrive here tomorrow morning and no trouble is anticipated in passing through Mississippi. Betting is very slow.

The arrival of Sullivan and the enthusiasm exhibited by his friends in this city has in nowise dampened the ardor of the friends of Kilrain, and instead of detracting from their number, Sullivan's arrival appears to have increased them. It is a noticeable fact that while the central portions of the city are disposed to

Bide

with Sullivan, the upper sections

of the city are largely in favor of Kilrain. A visit was paid to the rooms of the Southern athletic club to-day, and quite a number of the members were found, all of whom expressed themselves as confident of Kilrain's success in the forthcoming battle. McHale, who is matched to fight Duffy on Sunday next, was seen at the gymnasium. He said that in his opinion Kilrain would be the winner, although he had seen neither of the men. He based his opinien on the newspaper accounts of the two men, which, if true, and he had every reason to believe they were so, would make Kilrain .a Bure winner. He Bsid further that as regarded the odds offered in the bets which had been made, that itwas natural that Sullivan Bhould be the favorite. No one would bet even on a horse with a record of 2:40 against one with a record of 2:20, though the latter might be out of training and the other had developed greater speed than his previous record. A prominent member of the club, who is somewhat of an authority in pugilistic affairs, said that Sullivan was not in the trim he expected him to be, and that it was a wellknown fact that he could stand but little if any punishment about the heart or stomach.

He would not, of course, like to bet even on the result, though he felt sure that Kilrain would come off the victor, but he thought 100 to 80 fair odds on Sullivan and would not hesitate to take such odds when the proper time came. Other members of the club in support of their opinion said that men like Billy Madden, Arthur Chambers and Dominic McCaffrey, all of whom knew both men well, would not be found on the side of Kilrain if they did not know what they were doing. Both Madden and Chamberr were with Sullivan in his fight with Ryan and McCaffrey, I fought six rounds with him when he was supposed to be in his beat days and they surely do not underrate Sullivan. According to reports received, Sullivan has not near the wind that Kilrain has, and he i^besidee, en

tirely too heavy about the hips. Prof. Dennis Butler, also a firm friend of the Baltimore boy, last evening received a telegram from Kilrain, saying that he would be in thp city at about 11 o'clock to-morrow forenoon. His friend is confident of winning t^e fight, he said,and he had all faith in his prowess

The train on which Kilrain wjU arrive will be met at a point outside the city as was the Sullivan train and Kilrain, Mitchell, Donovan and Murphy will be conducted to the carnage ana conveyed to their quarters at the Southern Athletic club, corner of Washington and Peytania streets. The rooms which have been set apart for Kilrain and his seconds are very cool and pleasant and are situated in a handsome two-story

frame

dwelling adjoining to and owned by the club. They are gallery rooms, have a southern exposure and are elegantly fitted up with Victoria bed room sets trimmed with blue Bilk. The gymnasium is fitted up with all the apparatus for the development of the chest, arms and legs and has a course for pedestrian iam exercise as well as fine Bwimming, shower and tub baths. Kilrain and his seconds will be able to enjoy greater Beclusion than do Sullivan and his trainers as they will not have to go out into the Btreet at all to go to and from the gymnasium. Kilrain %ill remain in his quarters until he leaves for the soene of the battle on Monday next.

The interest in the fight is unabated, and as an evidence of this the Western Union telegraph company on Thursday night last sent off about forty thousand words of special dispatches, not including the regular Associated Press reports.

KILRAIN LEAVES CINCINNATI.

It Is Deuled That He Drank Too Much Beer There. CINCINNATI, July 5.—Kilrain and his

party left this morning on the regular train for New Orleans on the Queen & Crescent route. A goodly party assembled at the passenger station to see them off. Kilrain arrived early and was very animated in his talk concerning the report printed in a morning paper that he had yesterday indulged in nine or ten rounds of beer with his party at a saloon and never decreased the size of his glass. He said it was a mean lie, intended to injure him in the eetimation of his friends in the East, fie declared that he was in excellent condition that he had not been fairly treated in this Sullivan town, but that they would all hurrah for him after- he had whipped Sullivan, as he proposed to do. Other members of the party denied the drinking story, except that on the assurance of Dr. Wainright that it would do him good, Kilrain did drink one glasB of beer. The party was much troubled this morning by the appearance in the car of a somewhat well-known Ohio detective. The notion seized them that he was going to ride with them ^o Mississippi and there make an Brreet In the hope of getting a reward. They questioned him and found him pretending ignorance of the presence of Kilrain and party, but he afterward said he was only going to Lexington to arreet a man. The party cheered lustily as the train moved out and a faint response came from the spectators.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 5.—The Kilrain party passed through this city tonight en route to New Orleans. Detective Norris, of the Pinkerton force, was on the train and the impression prevails that he is going to accompany them to Mississippi and arrest Kilrain in order .to get the reward offered by the governor of Mississippi.

A QUARREL AMONG THE BACKER8.

Interest at Fever Heat In New Orleans, With Sullivan the Favorite. NEW YORK, July 5.—A special from

New Orleans Bays: Interest in the approaching fight between John I*. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain is at fever heat in this city, and it promises to be still warmer before Monday, when they must meet, according to the articles of agreement, within two hundred miles of New Orleans and decide the question of superiority. Both sidss have bitter supporters, and hot wordB have been passed, but so fe the money, which shows the current public sentiment, has been greatly in tavor of Sullivan.

What threatened to be a free fight came very near taking place in Bud Renaud's office. When the Sullivan party were orossing the Pear river, just below the station of that name, about sixty miles from New Orleans, the attention of everybody waa attracted by a huge blue poster placed prominently on the wall of a small station, announcing "Grand prize fight for the championship of the world between Jake Kilrain and John L. Sullivan." Charley Johnston and Wakely became pale with rage, which was unbounded when they reached the Crescent City and found the posters, which bore the name of a New York printer whe is known to be putting up the money fop Kilrain, displayed everywhere. Johnstf* and Wakely set out in search of Frank Stevenson after they had seen Sullivan safely housed at 33 Rampart street, in the cosy home of John Duffy, a brother of Patsy Duffy, who will be remembered as the Southerner who was go, to let daylight through Fred May in a Broadway resort one evening a year or so ago, because he said that he had a mind to invite Mrs. Langtry to take dinner with him at Delmonioo's. They found Kilrain's representative in Renaud's office at 2 Carondelet street, and there was no mincing of worgs. "What in thunder do you mean?" was Johnston's salutation. "Do you want your man to fight, or are you merely advertising him as his backer?"

uWhat

do you mean?" was Stevenson's

reply in arising voice. "Yes,what do you mean?" continued Johnston. You had every opportunity to have this fight oome off peaceably. You had the best and most lenient governor in the United States to deal with, the police were friendly to you, and hang it, here you go and openly defy them by issuing a lot of po6tere for a prize fight, which is in itself a breach of the peaoe. You dont want to light and you are trying to smooth a way to get out of it In getting your printing done in New York you slap in the face eveiy printer in Louisiana." "Our man will be here and he will fight," waa Stevenson's response.

TRYING TO

PREVINT

THE VI8HT.

The Governor* of Loalslaaa and Mississippi Issue New Order*. NEW YORK, JI^ly 5.—A New Orleans

special says the adjutant general of the staie militia arrived there thia afternoon

and waa driven posthaste to the office of Captain A. H. Benham, commander of the Louisiana artillery. He ordered. Captain Benham to call out his ooippany to prevent the Kilrain-Sullivan fight taking plaoe in the atate of Louisiana. Another conference is to be held at 3 o'clock between the two officials. It is said that Governor Nichols will not permit the inertness of the sheriff to overcome his proclamation forbidding the fight.

NEW ORLEANS, July 5.—The Picayune's JackBon, Miss., special says: Governor Lowry has sent the following telegram to all sheriffs, on the southern border of Mississippi, where it is possible for the Sullivan-Kilrain fight to take plaoe: "Do not allow the flglv'llo take plaoe in roar county, take steps to be yitate line. If necessary, on both the NorUr,f/nern and Nashville A Louisville roads. Send.? reliable man to New Orleans to telegraph you on what road and what moment the excursion starts If your fsroe Is distant' from telegraph office, have relaysHo give you the tnformaUou. If you wish, I will have armed troops at easy distance from you to aid you In preserving the peace or arresting the parties.

If the fight takes place on Mississippi soil I will pay one thousand dollars for the arreet and delivery of Sullivan and Kilrain to the sheriff of the county of Its occurrence. The payment of this reward applies to officers as well as to private citizens. Reply at my expense. ROBBKT LOWRT.

Governor.

Governor Lowry asserts that he is determined not to allow the fight to take plaoe on Mississippi soil, no matter what the effort requires in the way of money and troops.

DISCUSSING THE RULES.

Jack Turner. Talks About the Fight and the Bale*. NEW ORLEANS, July 5.—A representa­

tive of the Associated Press, while crossing Lake Ponchartrain at 11 o'clock this morning, had a chat with the veteran Jack Turner, of Rochester, N. Y., formerly Paddy Ryan's trainer, also one of Sullivan's party on sparring tours. Jack believes that the battle'will be to a finish and that the best man will win. He does not believa that either of the men desires or can afford 'to have a draw, as there has been too much of that kind of businsss inflate years. He says that if Sullivan failMtp accomplish anything with his first notorious rush he will become disoouraged and somewhat rattled or out of patience, and will lose his nerve. If he should succeed in landing his man with his first rush, the fight will be a short one. Turner has great confidence in Kilrain, and his opinion is based on the fact that Charley Mitchell, above all other men, knows the skill, staying and hitting powers of both men. He believes that Kilrain is a good short side in the betting. As to the dispute now going on about the London prize ring rules, he says the rules are perfectly plain and there should be no quibbling about them. He gave a brief vereion, as follows: Twenty-four foot ring on turf no gloves around to end when a man is knocked or thrown down. A man can not drop or throw himself without being either struck or thrown by his antagonist.

The time between rounds is thirty eeoonds, with an allowance of eight seconds to toe the scratch, from the time time is called. A round may last indefinitely, fer it is not oompleted until one of the men is either knocked or thrown down.

A Drunken Han's Talk Causes rest—Burke's Case. CHICAGO, July 5.—The mysterious Cronin suspect about whom the police made so much ado last night and to-day has been released, after being in close confinement.

EXTRAVAGANCE ABOUT THE COURTS AND COURT HOUSE.

The Roads and Bridges—An Increase Also in the Township Taxes.

The county commissioners have raised the rate of taxation, which, with a raise Trustee Peker made in the township, makes the rate for this township for state, county and townahip purpose $146 per $100. The rate for last year was $1.28 per $100. The county commissioners raissdthe rate for county purposes from 40% cents to 60% cents for county bridge purposes, from 5 cents to Id oents. Trustee Peker raised the rate for township purposes from 3 oents to 5 cents, and the rate for tuition from 7 cents to' 8 cents. This makes an increase of the combined rate for the township and county purposes and speoial funds of 28 oents per $100 of taxable property. This rate applies to the oity and Hatrison township.' This rate, together with the oity tax, will make the rate for citizens of the city $2.71 per $100, even though there should be no increase in the rate by the oity solona. The increase in the rate of taxation of 20 oents on the county fund was occasioned by the ffeot that the commissioners anticipated considerable expense in preparation for and the execution of the new' election law at the next ooonty elec tion. The new law will necessitate the building of a voting place for each precinct in the county, of which there will be about, sixty, according to the recent enumeration of voters. Considerable road building has been done during the past year, and this has occasioned considerable expense from the general fund by reason of visits by the commissioners and other general fund expenses. It is probable that aliberal estimate was made and the tuxes collected this year will be ample to meet all expenses. The debt incurred by building the new court house will not be due for two years yet, and there is a special tax of 10 oents levied to pay interest and to collect a fund to be used in payment of the principal when it shall fall due. The raise of 20 oents above the rate for 1888 for county purposes is the most striking. From the following exhibit appended to the oounty auditor's annual report, recently published, the disbursements of this revenue will be

Total. 4203,740 74 From this table it will bessen that $15,85415 of thia money was for the courts alone. Deepite the amount required to run the courts, all of the expenses of the courts is not included in this amount, because Judge Mack draws his salary from the. atate. It might also be said that notwithstanding the unusual amount required to run the courts, the judges continue to hold court apart of almost every day in the year whether any business is transacted or not. Very often court is called in one or both of courts and nothing done. Thus the .ay of bailiffs, juries and others is for /to service rendered.

Trustee Peker explains the increase in the rate of the township fund by saying that his salary waa rained by the last legislature and that more money will be required. The salary will be not less than $1,0G0 and not more than $1,500. Of the trustees in the etate who were thus favored by the last assembly only those of Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne and .Terre Haute have yet come under the jurisdiction of that law. Concerning the raise of one cent in the tuition fund, he said that he expected to have to employ an extra teacher during the coming year.

Successful Suicide on tke Third Attempt. JCANSAS CITT, July 5.—After making

two unsuccessful attempts within the saic| hour this morning, Henry Kleinpell succeeded in committing suicide. His dead body suspended from the ceiling by a rope around the neok was found in his book store, at No. 18 east Eleventh street, this morning. Another rope, which evidently had been found to be too long for the auiolde's purpose, dangled from'another plaoe in the ceiling. Two blood-stained pooket-handerohiefs, several gashes across the left wrist, and blood stains on the ssoond rope, showed how he had made the second attempt to take his life. The third attempt was succsssful. Desperation at his business failure caused the sot. Kleinpell leaven a wife and two children, at Madison, Wia

Nswpert, K. I.

NKW LORDOIT, Conn., July 5.—Tha. weather at Woodstock was 'bright and pleasant thia taorning, and the sun shone for the first time in three days. President Harrison arose shortly after five o'clock and occupied his time before breakfast planting a tree in the garden before the Bowen resideneeu Secretary Tracy, Governor Bulky, Justioe Miller, Senator Hawley, Congressman Beed, and other guests assisted at the planting. Aher breakfast the president was driven to Putnam, where a special train consisting of a parlor oar, baggage oar, and engine were waiting to carry himself and party to New London. At Norwich there was a very enthusiastic demonstration. The president thanked the people for their presence and cordial reception, and said that he wae glad to see that the devotion to American institutions and freedom, whioh had always characterized the people of Connecticut, was being perpetuated.

He said: "We have here our line of division, but it does my heart good to believe that in all that is really essential to our great nation we are one in sympathy and one in interests. I bid you gooamoraing."

The train reached New London at 9:35, where there was another demonstration. Prriptnt Harrison stepped to the rear platform of the car ana addressed the throng as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen: I assure you that I appreciate this demonstration in my honor, but the plan of travel iBsuoh that I can't talk to you as I would like. I bid you good-morning."

Cheers were given for the president as he alighted from the train and was eeoorted to the boat-landing. A presidential salute was fired in honor of the ohief magistrate and at 10 o'olook the Dispatch weighed anchor and proceeded to Newport.

NEWPORT, R. I July S.—the Dispatch entered the harbor at 3:30 p. m. There was a presidential salute from Fort Adams and the lighthouse bell was rung. The party landed at the torpedo station. The president was interested in operations at the station and he himself exploded several torpedoes. The Stilleto then conveyed the party to the United States training station. The training ship was inspsoted, the battallion of naval apprentices was reviewed and the station inspected. The apprentice boys climbed the rigging and gave three cheers as the party left on the Stilleto for the city. The party was driven at once to the state house, where President Harrison, Secretary Tracy and Governor. Ladd held a public reception. They shook hands with 1.500 people. An inoident-.. of the reception waa the presentation of a baby rescued from the Johnstown flood, who was kiaaed by all of the receiving party. The party was escorted by the Newport artillery to Governor Ladd's oottage for dinner, and about midnight left on the Dispatch. As the Dispatch left the harbor, a torpedo was exploded and the harbor was illuminated by an electric search light.

THE BUCKKT MHOP DECISION.

The Board of Trade Receives a Hard Bap From the Court. CHICAGO, July 5.—The board of trade

received a pretty hard rap thia morning by the deoiaion of Judgea Horton, Tuley and Collins sitting en banc, on the motion of the board's attorney to dissolve the preliminary injunction to prevent the board from withholding its quotation from the buckebshope. The judges in their decision deny the motion to dissolve the injunction on the ground that the market quotations are of such importance to the public that they ahould be oonsidered public property, and that it the injunction were dissolved the tendency would be to create a monopoly of the big board. Each of the three judges delivered a asperate opinion, based upon the particular case before him but the cases were all alike in the points'involved, and the conclusions reached by the judges were the same, to-wit: That while the board continue to furnish quotations to any one it must furnish them to any one willing to pay for them. When the judges had finishsd their pronouncements, Judge Smith, attornsy for the board of trade, arose and moved for a modification of the injunction. He was not sure what the board would now doi. It might open the flood gates and let all have the quotations, or it might determine to quit the business altogether, He wanted the injunction to read so the board would be at liberty to do either. As it was, the injunotion prevented the cutting off of all. Judge Cooley consulted briefly with his colleagues, and announced it would be time enough to decide that when the board had once made up its mind to What it waa going to do. He thought it a question, and a serious question, too, whether the board could out off* the public from the news of its market quotations altogether. He thought the news gatherers might oompell the board to admit them to get the newa. Subsequently the directors of the boaid of trade met to deliberate on the problem of what to do next, but, after a long session, adjourned without deciding on any plan of action. The matter will oome up at the regular meeting on Tueeday next.
