Kilrain has Been Lost in the Shuffle—The Talk of the Experts. .. .'w

John L. Sullivan paaaed through Terra Haute at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, and went on to Chicago, where he will remain until this morning. Thursday evening at Nashville after being released on the writ of habeas corpus, Sullivan's party separated, all except Sullivan and his backer, Charley JohnIson, taking the trains for Louisville and

Cincinnati, giving it out that Sullivan also was going to Cincinnati. Instead, Sullivan and Johnson drove outside the city where they boarded the through Chicago sleeper over the Li. & N., E. & I* T. II. and C. & E. I., and consequently arrived in this city early yesterday morning. The two men occupied the state room and their identity was made known only to the car porter and the train conductor. Conductor Jim Huffman, of the E. & T. H., took the train at

Evaneville and was let into the secret. He had a long talk with Sullivan and Johnson, who told him how they got on the train at Nashville, Sullivan looked to be worn out. The cut under the eye was making trouble for him and he could not use his left hand because of the injury received in the third round ",v of the fight, which led his supporters to remark that his old time boast that he could whip any man with one hand was true. When the party left here they expected to leave the train outside of Chicago and catch the Lake Shore limited east-bound, but it seems that their fear that they would have to hide in Chicago long enough to have the injured hand and wrist attended to was well founded.

on the train and got off at the

same time. Sullivan remained in Chicago to-night and arranged to leave for New York to morrow at 9 a.m. hy the Grand Trunk. The route chosen will take him through Canada and is the road furthest possible away from hostile Ohio. He kept himself secluded from observation as much as possible, but managed to visit two or three places where he could enjoy himself thoroughly in private.

& The Latest News About Kilrain. INDIANAPOLIS, July 12.—Sheriff Smith,

of Bartholomew county, makes an emphatic Btiatement to-night that Kilrain, Mitchell and party are still in Indiana, and that the dispatch sent from North Vernon Inst night announcing that they had boarded a train there is pure fiction. The officer says that he followed the party from Columbue to Edinburg, twelve miles north, but that the citizens of the town did v, their utmost to conceal the fugitives, their

being successful. Smith

eaya that they left Edinburg last night and drove to Parmer William Cooper's residence, several miles in the country, where they remained until noon to-day, when they left in a carriage, their present whereabouts being unknown. Mitchell was heard to say that they would

work

towards Chicago, but would

avoid Cincinnati.

TALK OF EXPERTS.

What Muldoon, McCaffrey, Harding and Others Say. CHICAGO,

July'

12.—A

reporter on nis

return from New Orleans yesterday afternoon stopped over at Louisville. There he learned ot Sullivan's arrest at Nashville, and at once determined to wait until the evening train and catch some of the Sullivan party who escaped the officers at Nashville. While watching at the depot he caught "Parson Daviee," a well known sporting man of •Chicago, who had. charge of Muldoon and Cleary, just as they were boarding a Mo aon train bound for Chicago. There was no time found for interviews, and the reporter decided to accompany the -party to Chicago. Upon arriving at the ^outskirts of the city this morning the

Muldoon party left the train and boarded 'an outgoing train for the East to escape any chance of arrest.

In an interview with Muldoon he described hie eecape at Nashville as follows: "I was sitting with Sullivan when the officers entered the car. They were about to place me under arrest when I said to them: "What do you mean? I am no prize tighter do I look lik one? I am a gentleman and it is your duty to protect me and not to offer me an insuit." They at once abandoned me and devoted their efforts to securing the big ^fellow and Johnson, and here I am, a little disfigured from hard work but still in the ring.

Muldoon was asked about the condition of Kilrain. He said Kilrain was 'overtrained and was not carefully handled at New Orleans for a day or two before the fight Had he been properly managed, Sullivan would have had a more severe battle. On the other hand

Sullivan was put into the ring a little heavy but in fine condition. Muldoon says he told Sullivan that he expected he would lose seven pounds during the fight. After the mill had been ooncluded Sullivan weighed

Bix

and a half pounds

Hess than when he entered the ring. Muldoon told John that he would better do something to get rid of that extra half pound.

Muldoon further stated that he was perfectly satisfied with the result of the tight, and, like the majority of the sporting fraternity, believed that the battle would be along one that he had instructed Sullivan to go easy at first and that he would be satisfied if he won in three hours.

Parson Daviee says the correspondents were in error about Kilrain being left alone in the ring.

His friends immediately took charge

of him, and after robbing bimand dressing, he was placed in a carriage and rapidly driven away. Kilrain, the PITBOD says, did not cry in the ring, but said: "Where are my friends," and when he was lifted into the buggy burst out crying, v"

NEW YORK, July 12.—Dominick McCaffrey, Billy Madden and W. E. Hailing, R. K. Fox's representative at the fight, arrived last night on the Baltimore 3l Ohio train. P. J.Sharkey, Pat Rooney, the actor, and Dave Holland were with McCaffrey and Madden.

Harding spoke for Stevenson and the others who had bet on Kilrain. He was bitter in denouncing Charley Mitchell's conduct in allowing Kilrain to fight. He said: "Kilrain was sick, and it was impossible for him to be in a proper condition to fight, but Mitchell concealed this from Stevenson and the net of Kilrain's friends. Kilrain bad to take medicines constantly while in New Orleans. Furthermore, he was not properly trained. He complained himself that Mitchell had not paid proper attention to him. "He could not have defeated a decent middle-weight, much less Sullivan. He weighed only 168 pounds in his ring costume. He was hopelessly beaten after the third round, but he certainly deserves great credit for' his courage and pluck in holding out against Sullivan any length of time at all under the circumstances. It is outrageous that Mitchell should have allowed any money to be bet on him at the ring side. His weakness had been further increased by Mitchell's nsgligence in failing to bring a supply of food and drinking water from New Orleans. Kilrain had nothing to eat from 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon until after 7 Monday morning."

Both Madden and McCaffrey said that Sullivan was not in firat-class condition, but that he was very strong and healthy.

Can be Arrested In Mew York. NEW YORK, July 12.—At the district

attorney's office this morning, Assistant District Attorney Lindsay said, when questioned in regard to arresting John L. Sullivan, the pugilist, upon his arrival here, that it could be done if the governor of Mississippi made a requisition upon Governor Hill to that effect, the extradition law being so complete that a man could be arrested in Maine for a slight misdemeanor in California.

There is a rumor afloat that Governor Hill has already on the requisition of Governor Liwry granted an order for the extradition of the pugilists and that the order for his arrest is now in the hands of Superintendent Murray. The champion is "expected" to arrive in this city to-morrow and will be tendered a "grand reception."

A Feather-Weight Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.—The fight to a finish between Johnnie Griffin, of Boston, and Billy Murphy, the Australian feather-weight champion, for a purse of $1,000, took place at the rooms of the California athletic club to-night. Griffin weighed 120}£, and Murphy 1:17. Murphy's seconds were Paddy Gorman and Bill McCarthy. Griffin was seconded by Joe Chovinski and Tom Higman. The fight resulted in Griffin being knocked out in the third round by a right-hander on the chin after a lively contest.

Other Fighters Arrested.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—About a week ago Mike Reidy, of this city, and a Philadelphia pugilist named Joe Kennedy, engaged in a prize fight at a resort on the Maryland shore of the Potomac. The owner of the resort complained to Governor Jackson, of Maryland, who issued a requisition on the district attorney for the surrender of the fighters, seconds and baskers. T*ie requisition was received to-day, and Rdidy, the winner of the fight, Wm. McMillan, his second, and three other participants will go to Prince George island to meet the charge made against them.

The Railroad Bate War.

CHICAGO, July 12.—The action of the Chicago & Grand Trunk, in issuing a tariff making a twenty cent rate, has not yet been met by the other Central traffic association lines. A meeting will be held to-morrow to oonBider the matter. Notice was given to the Chicago & Grand Trunk this afternoon of a proposed restoration ot rates to the 25 cent basis to take effect July 24. This is taken simply as indicating a hope that in the meantime the Baltimore & Ohio might be induced to advance the rate on corn. In the event of the expectation not being realized, the notice of an advance can easily be withdrawn.

vj Who Was Arthur Richmond NRW YORK, July 12.—The Commercial

Advertiser this afternoon prints a special from Beauvoir, Miss., in which the correspondent asserts that James Ridpath, formerly managing editor of 'the North American Review, and now visiting Jefferson Davis at Beauvoir, says that the "Arthur Richmond" letters in that magazine were the work of Hamilton Allen, Thorndyke Rice, Don Piatt and William Henry Hnrlburt.

WORLD OF TRADE

Dun's Weekl} ReTiew Shows Increased Prospects for a Good Business Year.

PROSPECT OF TROUBLE AT THE HOMESTEED WORKS,

The Immense Proportions of the Trusts—Full Control of the Coke Market.

NEW YORK, July 12.—R. G. Dun & Co's weekly review of the trade says: Substantially all the news this week has been favorable to businsss prospects. The official crop report for July 1 was not only an assurance of large yield, bat evidenoethat the reported injuries to wheat, cotton and corn had not been as serious as many believed. Gold exports were stopped by slackening of the foreign demand ana decided improvement here in the offerings of commercial bills. The treasury put out money more freely and ths demand from the interior was met without change of rates here. The railroads made great progress, apparently, toward settlement of their controversiss, and the stock market took an upward turn on Thursday.

Pork products have been weaker, but without great change, and oats 1% cents lower. A rise of nearly a cent on oil is partly explained by the official report, that exports for the past year have been the largest ever recorded. The average of all prices of commodities has moved upward 1^ per cent, during the week. The reports, from interior towns show that collections have improved where there had been most complaint, and the latest accounts are more satisfactory than usual. At Chicago banks have been so far prudent, with an eye to probable commercial demands in the near future that brokers are circulating the rumor that a banking trust has been formed, though outside money dose'not appear to be obtainable at better than 5 per cent. The indications point to some monetary pressure this fall, unlsss the treasury succeeds in disbursing freely.

The great industriss are on the whole in better shape, though some signs of danger are discoverable. Some southern pig iron recently offered in vain at 116.50 has been sold at $17. Rails are in better demand, with rumored sales amounting to 34,000 tons, and $28 is now the bottom price. But the great strike at the Carnegie mills, accompanied with violence at the very outset, may lead to rather extended disturbance of the industry. Wool is unchanged in price at Eastern market?, but the persistent conservatism of manufacturers who are buying only for immediate necessities, and running only part force, begins to have effect and a weakening among high holders is reported. The stock exchange has been strengthened by very favorable accounts of negotiations between railroad managers who appear to have settled the difficulties as to Eastern Trunk lines and to have made some progress toward amicable adjustment of Western controversies. The information that $83,000,000 of lead trust stocks, $50,000,000 of sugar, $42,000,000of cotton oil, $31,000,000 of whiBky and $13,000,000 of cattle trust were outstanding, caused a break in lead and some selling in other stocks. The exports of cotton for June were in value only $5,008,746, against $8,887,325 for the same month last year, but for two weeks of July all exports from New York show an increase of 20 per cent, over last year, and the weakening of speculation in wheat is also a favorable sign as to the monetary future.

The business failures during tbe last seven days were 209, against 202 lsst week and 215 the week previous to the last. For the same week of last year the figures were 240.

ARMKD PINKKBTON DETECTIVES.

The Movement to Substitute Non-Union for Union Men Began. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 12.—One hun­

dred Pinkerton men, armed with Springfield rifles, arrived here this morning from Philadelphia, and were taken to the Homestead Bessemer steel works. They will be placed about the mill property to protect it and tbe workmen from thestrikers. The sheriff will also swear in a posse of 100 deputies for the same purpose.

The struggle promises to be the moet bitter in the history of strikes and lockouts in thi6 section. Both sidss are^jietermined.and along fight is anticipated. Everything was quiet about the works this morning. No more men have arrived and the great steel works of Carnegie & Co., at Homestead, is Bilent. The trouble is caused by the effort to substitute non-union for union workmen.

At noon 125 deputies, under Sheriff Gray, arrived at Homestead. They were immediately surrounded by strikers numbering nearly 1,000, and requested to return to the city. The deputies refused to do so, and the strikers refused to let them enter the mill. They are still surrounded at this time, 1 p. m., but no outbreak has occurred.

Several of the deputies had their badges torn from their coats, and were driven away. Tbe others are still surrounded. Sheriff McCandlsss is now swearing in additional deputise, and will have four or five hundred more on the ground to morrow morning. If necessary to preserve tbe peaoe he says he will increase the number to 2,0(30.

LATER.—The strikers at Carnegie's works have had full charge of the town of Homestead ainoe noon to-day and no one dares interfere. Had not the deputy sheriffs calmly and quietly surrendered on their arrival to-day they would have been mobbed. They were surroundsd by a crowd of 3,000 men and their badges and clothes almost torn from their bodies. The riot was only prevented by their offering no resistance. To-night the strikers are patrolling the streets and strangers are oompelled to give an account of themselves or .leave town. Pinkerton men on the way have not rat arrived and the strikers are watching for them. When they reach the soene interesting times are expected. The sheriff will go to Homestead early to-morrow with a posse of 500 men and saya he will increase it to 2,000 if neosesarv. Tbe men are desperate and affaire look ugly, the men employed at the other mills controlled by CarnegM are considering tbe advisability of qOii

Astonndinc fastest* in the Lead OapltalSome Interesting Pigwrea. NEW YORK, July 12. —Mr. James

Weeks, chairman of the committee on unlisted securities of the New York stock exchange, haa succeeded in learning the amount of certificates the various trusts have outstanding.

The biggeet one of all turns out to be one of the neweet of the family—the lead trust. It wss the information concerning this trust that provoked more astonishment than anything els& Its officsrs sent word that there had been issued 830,188 certificates of the par value of $100 each, or that these certificates represented a capitalization of $83,018,800. Less than two months ago it was known that the capital of this trust was about thirty-two million dollars, and this knowledge of an increase of over $50,000,000 in its capital in so short a period was what paralyzed Wall street. Within the period referred to the managers of the toad trust, who are also the managers of the Standard oil trust, have absorbed the white lead companies in Philadelphia, two in St. Louis, the Collier and ths Southern, and Atlantic mills in Brooklyn. For each of these they have issued new certificates and increased their capital stock to the amount represented by the addition of these new certificates.

The following table will show the number of certificates of each of the five truate and the amount of the capitalization at par:

Assessing Grain Held In Elevators. CHICAGO, July 12.—A dispatch from

Minneapolis, Minn., says: There is gnashing of teeth just now among the grain elevator men in Minneapolis, all because of the action of the city assessor in asssssing the wheat he found, in all 8,000,000 bushels.

PiGgott at tlie Bottom of «Parnellism and Crime"—What is •. to be Done Now?

LONDON, July 12.—Upon the resumption of the session of the Parnell commission to-day, Sir Charles Russell, of oouneel for the Parnellites, asked Mr. Sfiamfff, the solicitor for the Timee, to produce a list of tbe payments he had made to witnesses in behalf of the Timee, and all communications that had paaaed between himself and the Timee' agente in America and Ireland.

Attorney General Webeter declined to •How Mr. Soames to produce the communications.

Mr. Soamee was then recalled. He testified that he had not made out a list of the payments made for the witnesses. He could not tell when he had first corresponded with I»j Caron. There was no definite arrangement as to how tbe witness should pay him. Several payments had already been made. Mr. McDonald, manager of tbe Times, said it waa understood Le Caron would be provided for. He had lost his employment in the government service, and as long aa it was needed he wss to reoeive assistance.

Mr. Houston, sscretary of the Loyal and Patriotic union, was then recalled and re-examined. He testified that Lord Stallbridge first mentioned Pigott to him ss a useful witness. The articles on

Foil Control of the Coke Market, ur PITTSBURG, July 12.—The H. C. Frick

coke company purchaasd tbe property of the Connellsville coke and iron company, consisting of 1,500 ovens and 10,acres of valuable coal lands. This makes the Frick concern the largest coke producing company in the world, with 7,000 ovene and 25,000 acree of coal land, and a daily output of 12,000 tons of coke. The transaction was tbe largest that has ever taken place in the coke region. It is not likely that a syndicete will be formed now, as Mr. Frick will control the market. ThiB concern has for over two years, until within the paat few months, paid 6% per cent, higher wages than other operators. It is now paying highsr wsgss than some of the other operators, and although reductions have been offered at some of the works, the Frick plants are in operation at union wages.

by the Timee, were an elaborate reprint of-Tarnellism Unmasked." which was compiled by Pigott, and for which the witness wss paid £60. The witness stated that be was willing to place the books of tbe Loyal and Patriotic union before tbe court, but he objected to their being examined by political opponents. The witness borrowed £450 from Lord Stallbridge and Sir Blenner Hassell, and £850 from Dr. McGuire, to buy tbe letters printed by the Times.

Mr. Houston produced a voucher for £100 paid to Engine Davis." Sir Charlss Kussell—Don't you believe that that voucher is in Pigotl's handwriting?

Witness—They write similarly. I don't believe it is Pigott'a handwriting. Under -repeated questioning the witness persisted that itjwaaDavia' voucher, though obtained through Pigott.

Sir Charles Russell demanded the production of the books of the Loyal and Patriotic union. He aaid he desired to prove that the whole indictment contained in "Parnellism and Crime" proceeded from the union. Pigott had been used by a powerful political organization to concoct the plan.

Presiding Justice Hannen—This relates to charges against persons not before us.

Mr. Asquith, also of Mr. Parnell counsel, submitted that the court was under obligations to inquire isto the origin and growth of the obarges against tbe Parnellites. The union's books would disclose how Pigott set to work to supplement "Parnellism Uumssksd" by tbe enlarged articles entitled "Parnellism and Crime," including the letters the Timee bad printed.

Attorney General Webeter contended that the books were wanted in order to give tbe Parnellites free range in other political affaire.

The court decided against the application for the production of the books. Sir Charles Russell then intimated that he had received written instructions from Mr. Parnell regarding the further conduct of the case, which required him to ask for an opportunity to consider his position. Messrs. Parnell, Davitt, Lewie, and Sir Charles Russell hereupon withdrew from tbe courtroom. The commission adjourned until Tuesday.

Mr. George Lewis, solicitor of the Parnellitee, in an interview to-day professed ignorance of any intention of Mr Parnell to withdraw his case from before tbe special commission.

Mr. Parnell, Sir Charles Russell and the others of the Parnell counsel will meet on Monday to discuss the position of the Parnel lite case. Mr. Parnell has given no definite instructions in the matter.

Ns Habeas Corpus for Beggs. CHICAGO, July 12.—Judge Horton to­

The argumente were ooncluded late this afternoon and Judge Horton declined to issue the writ, holding that the indictment waa sufficient presumption of guilt to warrant the holding of the prisoner without bail. He did not require the state to disclose the evidence on which the indictment wss found. It waa claimed that the application was partly with a view to learning what evidence the state has, in order that it might be used to assist Martin Burke, now held for extradition at Winnipeg, in hia fight against being returned to the authorities here.

Another Report of Icebergs. NEW YORK, July 12.—The bark Cru­

The weather waa thick and foggy at the time and the vesssl was close on the berg when it was discovered. On the same day the

Bhip
