—Full Report.

N W O E A N S, July 8.—There was great excitement at the ring side as Bud Renaud, Mike Donovan and Johnnie Murphy made their appearance, which they did at 9:50 a. m. Great excitement among the crowd when it became apparent that the fight was actually to occur. On the toss-up for position Kilrain's representative, Mike Donovan, won and selected the northeast corner, Muldoon, Sullivan's representative, choosing the southwest corner. At this juncture the sheriff of the county made his appearance, and in the name of the state of Mississipi commanded peace and retired, this being the only effort on the part of the authorities to interfere with the fight. At this moment the flag of Sullivan, brought from Boston, was placed in his corner amidst enthusiasm. At about 10 o'clock the sun had gone behind a cloud, and there was no perceptible advantage in either corner. Kilrnin, who was the first to make his appearance, was accompanied by Mike Donovan and Charlie Mitchell. He was received with great applause, but wore a very serious air, as if fully realizing the work before him. The crowd recognized the stalwart form of the big fellow as he jumped into the ring. The cheers were deafening. He looked in marked contrast to Kilrain, seeming to be perfectly at his ease*regarding the termination of the contest.

The name of Pat Kenrick, of New Orleans, was offered by the Kilrain men as referee, but he was not acceptable to the other side, the representatives of Sullivan proposing the name of John Fitzpatrick, of New Orleans, saying "I want this fight to-day to take place on its merits, and may the best man win. I have only one name to present for the position of referee, and that one is known throughout the state as an upright, just and honest man. I name John Fitzpatrick, of New Orleans." [Great applause.[

Charley Mitchell—"I don't know the gentleman. I don't know the gentleman just named, but I think if the other side want to fight, the one we have named ought to satisfy them."

Charley Johnston fwould not agree, saying if the Kilrain party would not take John Fitzpatrick they did not want to fight. At this juncture Mitchell proposed that they tote up to see which of the above named gentlemen should act as referee, but this did not seem to be the wish of the Sullivan side, though the crowd favored the idea. Then Prof. Butler proposed the name of aNew York man, who, however, did not prove acceptable to the other side, and after considerable wrangling over the matter, Charley Mitchell finally said they were willing to accept Mr. Fitzpatrick, and the announcement was received with cheers.

Mitchell here went over and examined the spikes in Sullivan's..shoes, as did Cleary those of Kilrain. Fitzpatrick said: "I am not very conversant with the ruleB this will be a fair contest of the merits of the two men, and I will do the beBt 1 can. In regard to the question that has been spoken of, as to what time the thirty seconds between the rounds shall commence, I decide that it commences from the time the man falls."

W. E. Harding at this moment stepped up to Kilrain, and placing $1,000 in his hands, told him it was sent by Mr. Fox for him to bet with Sullivan. Kilrain at once went over to Sullivan and offered to bet him that sum he would win the light. The bet was immediately taken up by Sullivan, and the money, §2,000, deposited in the handB of the referee.

Both men being now stripped, it was apparent to every one present the great superiority possessed by Sullivan over his antagonist in the matter of Bize and development, the muscles of his arms standing out in big welts, his driving power appearing tremendous, and he seeming in the very best of spirits.

At 10:10 a. m. the principals and seconds advanced to the center of the ring and formed a maltese cross in shaking hands, the latter retiring outside the ropes and the principals to their respective corners. At the call of time, Kilrain and Sullivan advanced to the center of the ring, the latter wearing a confident

Bmile,

Kilrain looking serious, and

the great battle for the world's championship began. THK FIGHT BY ROUNDS. The Story Told of a Fight Wherein One

Man Was Far Superior.

Round 1, Kilrain immediately made a rush for Sullivan, feinting with his left, suddenly clinched Sullivan and threw him heavily to the turf securing first honors and loud applause. Time, 15 seconds.

Round 2, Both men advanced promptly at the call of time, Sullivan immediately leading with his left, catching Kilrain heavily in the ribs. The men then clinched and Sullivan secured the second fall amid loud cheers from his partisans. Time, 30 seconds.

Round 3, Kilrain rushed at Sullivan at once, clinching and catching the big fellow around# the neck, but the latter immediately broke away and got in a short-arm blow on the neck. In this round Kilrain struck at least half a dozen apparently foul blows below the belt, which the referee, from his position, could not see, but which were greeted with hisses from the crowd, it appearing, and being so proclaimed by Sullivan friends, that Kilrain wanted to lose on a foul. The round closed by Kilrain going down from alight blow on the neck.

Round 5, both men sparred cautiously for an opening. Kilrain, after one or two feints on the part of Sullhmn, rushed in, and Sullivan, securing a aroee-buttock

hold, tried to throw the timore boy, but he broke away and landed a stinger on Sullivan's jaw. Both men then sparred cautiously, Kilrain succeeding in getting a light blow on Sullivan's neck. The round, which was in favor of Kilrain, ended by the latter falling to avoid punishment.

Round 5, Sullivan opened with a feint with his left, upon which Kilrain immediately^etreated. Sullivan followed him up and Kilrain made a viscious lunge at his head, which, however, fell short, and Sullivan swung his terrible right at his opponent's jugular, he, too, falling short, and Kilrain countered harmlessly on his neck. The round ended by Kilrain going down near his own corner, his aim appearing to be to avoid punishment, pursuing the same tactics adopted by his trainer, Mitchell, in his "foot race" in "la belle France."

Round 6, Sullivan commenced operations by landing heavily with his left on Kilrain's jaw. The heavy-weights then clinched and fell heavily, Sullivan on top. At the conclusion of this round, Kilrain was carried to his corner, while Sullivan walked to is unassisted. Time 2 minutes.

Round 7, Both men sparred cautiously for an opening, but soon clinched and indulged in some sharp short arm work, Kilrain getting in three or four good ones on Sullivan's ribs and a sharp right hander on Sullivan's right ear, drawing blood. First blood claimed and allowed for Kilrain. Time, 1 minutes.

Round 8, Sullivan coming up bleeding from the cut on his ear, had the appearance of an enraged bull, and immediately rushed at Kilrain, and after a few passes succeeded in breaking down his guard, sending Kilrain to grass with a heavy right hander in the mouth. .First knockdown claimed and allowed for Sullivan amid prolonged cheers from his admirers. Time, 2 minutes.

Round 9 was very brief, Kilrain simply slipping down to sscape punishment. Time, 30 seconds.

Round 10, Kilrain came up looking very serious, probably realizing that he had undertaken a huge contract, and, as he showed no disposition to come to the center of the ring, Sullivan impatiently exclaimed: "Stand up and fight like a man. I'm not a sprinter I'm a fighter." As Boon as Kilrain came near him, Sullivan made a pass, but it fell short and Kilrain countered on his Btomacb, his blows evidently lacking force, doing Sullivan no apparent damage. Sullivan made a rush at Kilrain, when the latter turned and hugged him, both being against the ropes. The big fellow here got in some light blows on Kilrain's ribs, which by this time resembled somewhat the color of raw beefsteak. They clinched, Kilrain throwing Sullivan and falling heavily on top of him. Time, 2 minutes.

Round 11, Sullivan opened with his left, which Kilrain neatly countered, Sullivan landing a light one on Kilrain's neck, following it up with a vicious blow, which Kilrain ducked, the latter rushing in and hugging Sullivan. The boy from Boston was now blowing quite hard and Kilrain getting in an ugly under-cut on Sullivan's ribs. Sullivan in return got in a good one on Kilrain's neck, which staggered him, and many in the crowd here called upon Sullivan to go in and finish him. The big fellow then planted a heavy one on Kilrain's neck, the latter retreating Sullivan following him up and endeavoring to land one of his terrible knockout blows, succeeding finally in gaining a square knockdown by a right hander in the neck. At the termination of this round Sullivan did not even take his seat, while Kilrain appeared to be very much distressed. Time, 3 minuteB.

Round 12, Kilrain started this round by hugging Sullivan, the latter breaking away, getting in a good left hander on Kilrain's neck. Kilrain proved a tricky fighter, evading Sullivan's right handed swings for the knock out spot, clinching Sullivan and attempting to throw him, but without success, and upon breaking away, made a pass at Sullivan, but his blow lacked force. The round ended by the men falling heavily, Sullivan on top, his left arm looked tightly on his opponent's throat, Kilrain having to be carried to his corner, evidently in distress. Time, 2 minutes.

Round 13, Sullivan had an ugly gleam in his eye at the opening of this round, as if he was determined to "do" Kilrain, and succeeded in landing alight one on Kilrain's ribs, the latter countering on his stc* ^ech. Kilrain, during this round, spiket Mlivan in one of his feet, causing it \bleed quite profusely, and aimed «. -How which would have been a had it taken effect.

Kilrain made a pass at Sullivan's stomach, Sullivan avoiding it and planting a roaster on Kilrain's ribs. Sullivan made another vicious lunge, whick Kilrain dodged, and he in turn rushed Sullivan against the ropes, but effected no damage. Sullivan's face wore a confident "you-can't-hurt-me" expression, and he backed Kilrain into the latter's corner, aiming a vicious blow at Kilrain's neck, which the latter cleverly avoided and ran away from his antagonist Sullivan again appealed to the referee to induoe Kilrain to face the music, saying to Mitchell's protege, "Why can't you fight like a man." Kilrain rushed at Sullivan, the latter countering right and left, landing on Kilrain's ribs and jaw. Sullivan' tried to land a hard one. which Kilrain evaded by rushing in and clinching, Sullivan planting short-arm blows op the neck and ribs. Both men indulgedrin short-arm, Sullivan playing for the neck and Kilrain falling to avoidjpunishmsnt.

CHANGE IN THE POSTOFFiCE.

Postmaster Greiner Succeeds Postmaster Regan In The New Building. :'1

THE CHANGES IN THE MINOR POSITIONS PROVIDED FOR.

Pleasant Relations Between the "Outs" and "Ins" in the Transfer of Official Duties.

Postmaster Greiner took charge of the office yesterday morning Mr. Regan retiring at 7:30 a. m. Mr. Greiner entered upon his duties not without certain preliminary preparations, as he had been frequenting the postmaster's office and postoffic lobby for several days. He had asked many queations of Mr. Regan concerning the business, which the latter kindly answered, in full. The spirit that pervaded the change was commendable and complimentary to both men, and has shown Mr. Regan to be a courteous gentleman toward his successor as well as an efficient and accommodating postmaster. The employes of the office are equally courteous and accommodating. The retiring men who- were employed inside the office will remain for a week and give their successors the benefit of their experience, thus emulating the example of Mr* Regan. The new carriers will take their places on the 25th of this month and the present carriers are willing to instruct them as their superiors have instructed the other newcomers.

The following table shows the receipts and disbursements for the yeai^888-9: GENERAL ACCOUNT.

The business for the year ending December 31,1888, shows an increase in every department over 1887, but the duty of making an annual report for that year does not fall to Mr. Regan.

HOPES FOR A SETTLEMENT.

President Lawrence, of the Brazil Company, Willing to Arbitrate.

Alexander Johnson, secretary of the state board of charities, returned last evening from Chicago, says the Indianapolis News. While in that city he called upon E. F. Lawrence, president of the Brazil block coal company, in the interest of a settlement of the miners' strike, and he was so much encouraged by the evident effect of his talk with Mr. Lawrence that he will return to Chicago again the latter part of the week to have a second conference with him and to

Bee

of the operators who reside in

that city. "I feel hopeful of bringing about an arbitration," said Mr. Johnson this morning. "If the other operators will promise as much as Mr. Lawrence has, I am very certain the Btrike can be settled jn a few days. He expressed himself as in favor of a fair and equitable arbitration. I have been surprised to find that both operators and miners have been misinterpreting the meaning of arbitration. They have always looked upon it as simply splitting the difference, and Btrange as it may seem, it has been difficult to make them understand that a board of arbitration may decide wholly in favor of one side or the otber. It has been the custom for years, when there was a disagreement as to wages in the mining dristrict, to split the difference between the amount proposed by the operators and that asksd by the miners, and that has been called arbitration. If three just business men can be determined upon I believe the strike can now be settled."

Mr. jonhaon has received a letter from Wm. Gait, of the miners' committee, in which the hope is expreesed that the state board of charitiee may yet be successful in bringing about arbitration.

THE BASE BALL GAME.

Terra Haute Urn the Fourth Game To Danville.

Terre Haute lost another game to Danville yeeterday and there was no reason to kick on the umpire either. Of course the spectators got a good start at kicking on Sunday and could not stop yeeterday, but Brennan was £all right. Gray was in the box for the visitors and pitched a good game, while Eiteljorg, for the home club, was a little wild. The visitors beat the champions at batting, but that was attributable to an unavoidable error by Dorsey, who Blipped and missed a pretty fly to centre fielcl, and to Hill, allowing three hot grounders to pass third baselwhen he should have Btopped them. Owing to Eiteljorg's pitching wildly he gave three men bases on balls in succeesion. The game was attended by about four hundred persons, of whom a large number were ladies. The following is the score:

NOTES.

The court house and city gangs have postponed their game until Thursday afternoon because City Treasurer Fitzpatrick is out of the city to-day and he is one of the city gang's main men.

THE POLITE PERSIAN

Who Fittingly Represents the ^Sliali at the Washington Capital.

It is perhaps unfortunate for Hadji Hossein Ghooly Kahn, Persian minister to the American capital, that he had not had a wider worldly experience before he was accredited by the shah to represent Persia in the United States, remarks a Washington correspondent. Since the publicatfon of his touching defense of his noble sovereign there have been some statements by people who move in society that go far toward explaining his disappearance from polite circles. Owing, perhaps, to his lack of familiarity with our usages, it is related that he became interested in the society of women who do not live in the fashionable northwest, and that, having obtained a stock of expressions current with them as festive politeness he took, the liberty of tweaking by the nose a lady whom he met at a reception, and remarked upon the dimensions of the "bugle" she had got on her. In his playful Persian way he is also said to have greeted some of the surprised ladies of Washington society by prodding them in the ribs with his thumb, and by greeting them with a squeak that usually accompanies that prank of a clown in a pantomime. Some prolonged festivities at his house in free society, an account of which came to polite ears, led to the erasure ot his name from invitation lists, and perhaps explains the isolation to which he was driven and to which be refers as one of the hardships of his life "as representative of the shah. Theee stories are attributed to peodle of such excellent reputation and such freedom from malice as to justify the impression that the Persian minister's education for western service had not been completed when he was sent from Teheran to Washington. -*4%

The remaining $440,000 deposited will be the purpose of extending the mains and making -other necessary improvements. The company is also required by the terms of the instrument to make the money thus inveeted in improvements bring seven per cent, interest. The Illinois Trust and Savings bank is instructed to issue the $440,000 in bonds immediately and to make them payable in 1909, at six per cent, interest.

The work of improvement has been commenced by the company. New pipes have been strewn along many streets of the city. It is the intention of the company to put in new engines and pumps and a new filter that will filter all the water for the plant. There are to be no pipes smaller than six inches, and 20,000 feet of 4 inch pipee are to be replaced with 6, 8 and 12-inch pipee. With the new pipee, new engines, new filtration and pump houBee about all of the $440,000 will be consumed. The pumbing machinery will have capacity of 16,000,000 gallons a day, as against 3,000,000 at present. A canvass for small consumers at a $5 rate will be begun at once. Terre Haute now has 871 water renters, whereas in citieeof this size the avepaee is 3,000.

Messrs. N. W. Harris and W. O. Cole, of Chicago, were in the city during yesterday. Mr. Harris is a member of the banking firm of N. W. Harris & Co., and spoke very freely of the matter. He said: "The instrument drawn up yeeterday is, in fact, a mortgage for $440,000, the remainder of the $1,000,000 being so appropriated that it will be placed as stock in the plant. The object of the company as re-organized is not to extend the mains of the water works to other parts of the city, but to enlarge enlarge the present mains. The preeent arrangement, which is in the form of an agreement, iB to take up 20,000 or 25,000 feet of the 4-inch pipes and to substitute for them an equal number of feet of 6, 8, and 12 inch pipes. This will be done because the 4-inch pipes are BO small that an immense amount of pressure is required to force the water through the pipes. By thus placing larger pipes we can save the unnecessary pres sure at the water works. An agreement has also been formed by which a pumping capacity of 10,000 gallons per day will be made, a filtering capacity will be provided to equal that, and an engine room of 16,OCX),000 per day capacity will be made. These preparations are not necessary at present, but in building water works plants the growth of a city must be anticipated, and if this city will grow as we think it will, and as it should grow, it will have 100,000 people. It is also a fact that there is less private patronage of the water works in this city than in any city we know of that is as large as this city. Mr. Crawford Fairbanks was opposed to enlarging the mains as we have decided to do, but I told him that unless that should be done I would not purchase stock."

Mr. Harris named the directors as Messrs. Crawford Fairbanks, Judge Jump, A. C. Chad wick, Josephus Collett and Demas Deming, who live in this city, and Messrs. W. O. Cole, N. W. Harris, Charles H. Coffin and Arthur N. Harris, of Chicago. "Why waB the stock sold by the local stockholders?" "Well, the company saw that they would have to invest $150,000 extra cash in improvements, and they preferred to have additional stockholders. You sse it has been preliminarily arranged to purchase one new engine at a coat of $43,000 and another engine at a coat of $25,000, and we are also considering whether we will use a mechanical or a settling filtering procees. The filtering facilitiee will have to be largely increased, because the water now supplied does not satisfy customers." He also said that the majority of directore and the majority of stock were to be retained in this city.

Mr. Harris was confident that when first class water was furnished that the number of private consumers would be doubled. Referring to that matter, he said: "It would surprise you to know that the

Bervante

of familee com­

pel the familee to have the water mains extended to their reeidenoee. The servants are the beet solicitors we have, I have known citiee where servante would not work where they could not get water in the housee."

Mr. Cole was also confident of the investment being a judicious one, because he was certain that the discovery would add largely to the city's growth. He said: "Of course we did not count on that in making the investment bat will be surprised unless that should aocrus to our benefit. But then we have enough to work for bare even without that. Mr. Cole

Daily Established in

Mid that the directors wer*-elected at a meeting yesterday, and that the Chicago men had bean added to the board and that •11 the resident directore who were on the board had been re-elected. He also said that a majority of the stock had been taken by persons who do not the live in the city. Mr. Harrie also mentioned the fact that one New York man held etock, saying that the local stockholders first considered a deal with New York men, but the deal "didn't go." This deal that "didn't go" was the origin of the first reported sale of the water works oompany that was circulated several montha ago. Meesrs. Harris and Cole are shrewd butinsss men and agreeable gentlemen and have had considerable experience in the businssB.

ONE AS GOOD AS A PAIR.

Wonders Done with a Single Arm or a Solitary Le(.

Men with but one leg who can win prizes from champions in a foot race men with but one arm who can mend a fishing net and manage a boat like a sailor are among the curiositiss of the Twenty-first ward, says the Philadelphia Record.

William Stockhouse, of Bridesburg, who is thirty-five years of age, and has no legs at all, is one of the most astonishing climbers in the country. He lost hie legs whsn a child, and goes about on two crutchss. He cannot raise without help, but he can awim like a dorphin and goes up the rigging of a ship like a cat, "skinning" up toxthe trucks and coming down by the stays.

John Fergueon, also of Bridesburg, the moet noted one-armed man in Philadelphia. Eighteen years ago, when a boy of ten years, be fell from an apple tree and broke his left arm, which had to be amputated close to the shoulder, leaving no stump at all. He soon developed an aptness of doing everything with his remaining arm which ordi'* people do with two arms. Ha'' boat, taking the poUs of both oat. one hand without mechanical appk He pushes gunners on the marsheb rail and reed birds, fishing and ahad-n«.

cleanee and opens his catch with great dextertity. As a swimmer he has few equals, and has never yet been beaten in swimming matches, of which he hae made ssveral from Bridesburg to Pea Shore, across the Delaware river, a distance of over two miles. A coal merchant for whom he formerly worked stands ready to back him against any ons-arm-ed man in the United States at shoveling a ton of coal into a cart. He is a scientific boxer, and can climb a rope like any seaman.

George Birch, of Frankford, is thirty years old, and lost a lsg when very young. He runs foot races either with or without a crutch and has bsen the winner of numerous sack races at Pastime park and at other places. With a stump for a foot he dances jigs and kicks a bar higher than his own head.

Joseph Shaffer, another Frankford curdsity, is fifty years old, and lost one lsg when a baby. He uses a stump, and can run up a ladder as fsst as any hodcarrier, get in and out of a wagon with wonderful alacrity, and mount a horse as adroitly as a cavalryman. The late Edward Perry once offered to match Shaffer against any man in Philadelphia at getting in and out of a trotting-sulky.

Daniel Bastiao, Shaffer's neighbor, is thirty-five years old and has but one leg, Bastian has walksd a mile, heel and toe, in 7% minutes, and has run 100 yards in 15 seconds, using a crutch in both cases.

Clem Cotter, a thirty-five-year-old resident of Frankford, has one good leg only, the other having withered in childhood. Cotter is a noted swimmer, and frequently supports two small boyB on his back while he Bwims ftound in Frankford creek. He also possesses the faculty of walking on his hands, frequently covering an entire square in this way for the amusements of his companions.

Another one-armed man, William Wonten, a police telegraph operator at the Twenty-fifth ward station house, who died a year or two ago, was in the habit of sculling himself in a boat across the Delaware, and would then snoot rail and reed birds with great success.

No Arrest Without Written Complaint. CHICAGO, July 8.—Judge IIortoD, in

the circuit court to day, decided that the law requires a written complaint in every case of arrest by the police. Heretofore this has not been required, and the effect of this decision, if carried to its legitimate result, will be to release about six hundred prisoners from the house of correction.

Russia's Mysterious Movements. VIENNA, July 8,—It is reported thr.t

fifty Russian officers have passed through Braila, Rou mania, on their way to Servia. There are also rumors that the Russian government hae been sending material of war and pontoons to Reni in Bessarabia and to the mouth of the Danube.
