Sullivan and party passed through this city to-night, cn ronto for tho scene of battle. They will reach New Orleans to-morrow. S alii van is trained to 205 pounds. His flesh is hard, and he is in most excellent condition. Ilis friends claim that he is in better condition than he has been in any previous fight. He sleeps well and eats heartily. He declares his intention of winning the tight or dying in the ring. The odds in local betting are about live to three on Sullivan. Mnldoon declares that if the light is interfered with, as now does not seem probable, they will go into training quarters and select another ground. Sullivan is exercising with dumbbells and skipping tho ropo while on the train. Sullivan's Rlght-Hand Blow. San Francisco, July a "Sullivan will win the fight," says Paddy Ryan. "I base my opinion as to the result of the fight entirely on tho newspaper reports oi Sullivan's present condition. If he is fit no living man has any license to whip him. and I think I ought to know what I'm talking about. You might as well try to. make an impression on a lamp-post with your fist as on Sullivan's face or body." - "How long will it take Sullivan to beat Kilrain?" Paddy was asked. T should say about fifteen minutes. There are people who are good judges who think Kilrain will only stay ten minutes, but b will last loneer. It would not look well for one who claims the world's cbampionship to fall down too often without taking blows. He will have to stand np and tight. The crowd will jeer him itto doing this, and that is all Sullivan will ask for." "Can Kilrain take much punishment!" "Certainly he can, but not much of the kind be will receive when he gets in front ot Sullivan. It will be a new variety of punishment to Jake. He will surely go down under the blows ho will receive from the Boston lad. Science will not avail much against such blows as Sullivan will deal out." "How does it feel to receive a blow from John's right arm Yy "It does not hurt much: it only dazes one. You feel like ono in a dream," and for a minute the pugilist was silent. "I got hit in the neck in the first round," he resumed. "I went down unconscious, like a dog at his feet. My seconds partly revived me; by the call of time I got up half dazed. I could only recollect ono thing I was there to fight. How I remained the other six rounds I can never tell. If John but lands one on Kilrain like he did on me. the light will last but that round." Will Use State Troops. Jackson, Miss., July 3. Governor Lowry .to-day telegraphed the Governors of Alabama and Louisiana for permission to pass armed militiamen through their respective States preparatory to intercepting Sullivan and Kilrain should they enter this State to fight. In. response to these telegrams Governor Lowery received an affirmative reply from Governor Seay, and is expecting like news from Governor Nichols. A dispatch from liaton Kongo says Governor Nicholls refuses to make public any communication from the Governor of Mississippi. He says: "Tell them to telegraph to Governor Lowery and get tho information from him." FATALITIES IN THE IU5G.

Prize-Fights Which Have Resulted in the Death of English and American Pugilists. While the great aim of the professors of of the manly art is to settlo all difficulties with nature's weapons only and to do away with deadly strife, theie have been many pugilists who have met their death in tho prize-ring or shortly after the fight. Malice, however, was not tho cause of these unfortunate fatal terminations, as the surviving principal has generally been acquitted on trial or received a nominal imprisonment, and there is not a single case on record of the otlender having been banged. In most cases terminating fatally tho backers of tho men have been to blame for permitting brave fellows to bo pounded into insensibility after nature has all but deserted them, in order, if possible, to win their wagers. The following is a list of fatal prize-fights: A determined mill took place in England between Turner and Curtis in October, 1810, ending in the defeat of Curtis. Th odds were two to one on Curtis, who had recently been in the hospital, and who entered against the wishes of his friends, saying he would win or die. Turner was sentenced to two months' imprisonment at Novgate. War and Watson had a "turn up"on their way to the second fight between Dan Men doza and Dick Humphreys at Oldham, Kngland. Jaunary, 1788. Watson was killed by a blow in the stomach. Jem IJattes and Clavton fought in England, April 28, 117. Clayton was getting the best of it when a terrific blow on the jugular vein rendered him senseless, and he died in about two hours. There was no animosity between the two men, and nothing unfair in tho contest. Although found guiltv of manslaughter. Bat tes was fined one shilling and imprisoned for six months. A desperate battle came ott in England, April 4, 1J3, betweeu Watts and Smith, in which, at the end of one hour and ten minutes. Smith received a biow on the carotid artery, which rendered him senseless, and he died the next day. Scott and Brown met in England, Nov. 9, 1S24. for a purse, but when time was called for the twentieth round Brown was senseless. He died in about twenty hours. On trial the jury gave their opinion that tho man died of over-exertion, and exonerated Scott. Owen Switt. "The Little Wonder." as ho

was called from having won fifteen battles out of seventeen when only twenty 3'ears of age, met and defeated Anthony Noou for the second time, .luuo 21, 1834. in Andover, Jf England, for a side. After lighting seventy-three rounds in two hours and six Minutes. Noon received a blow which proved fatal. Smith surrendered and was imprisoned for six months in Winchester. Castle. Swift and Bill Phelps, better known as Brighton Bill, fought at Rovlston. England, for o0 a sid March 13. lSX The battle lasted one hour and thirty-live minutes, eighty-five closely contested rounds being fought. The Little Wonder was declared the victor, although both wero taken from the ground insensible. Phelps died March 16 from effusion of blood to the brain, a result of the punishment received. Swift, , upon hearing of Phelps's death, fled to 1 ranee, where, after defeating Jack Adams twice, he returned to . England and was tried at Hertford Assizes antl acquitted. Simon Byrne, champion of Ireland, and Alexander, alias "Sandy" McKay, champion of Scotland, fought tho second buttle at Selcey Forrest, England, Juno 2, ItvX). The men nad previously fought in Scotland.

Sam Collyer, "Fiddler" Neary and Dick Goodwin wero arrested and sentenced for a term of imprisonment, at Trenton, N. J., where Weedon died Nov. 6, 1877. The latest fatality in tbe prize ring was the killing of George Fulljames at Grand Forks, D. T., Sent. 1888, but no one ai yet has been held accountable for his death, and as far as the authorities are concerned the antagonist of Fulljames on that occasion remains unknown. AN UNSATISFIED HEIR. The Death of a Colorado Millionaire Who Masqueraded as a Tramp Printer. Kansas City, July 3. An obscure item in the local papers the other day chronicled the suicide of a man who gave his name as Martin Van Bureu Jackson. It now transpires that the suicide was none other than Martin Vanimren Gillis, one of tho heirs of the Gillis estate in this city, valued at a figure considerably over 1,000,000. After acquiring his portion of the estate he moved from here with his family, a wife and two children, and settled in Dnrango, Cob, where he added to his fortune by shrewd investments. Until a month ago he resided at Durango. lie had contemplated a contest in tho courts of that portion of his father's will which made bequests to certain public institutions and private persons, and a month ago he started for Kansas City, from Durango, to attend personally to this item of business. At Denver he left his wife and children with friends. Arriving in Kansas City his actions became very queer, lie assumed the alias of "Jackson," and boarded at a cheap hotel, giving it out that ho was a penniless tramp printer, and could not lind wdrk. After he had been here three weeks he seemed to become despondent, and shortly afterwards was found dead in bed, a large dose of morphine having caused his death. It was only to-day that his identity was disclosed by a former friend who happened to visit the morgue. Mrs. Gillis has been notified of the facts. Her attorneys are investigating the matter.

and Sweeping Away Bridges. Johnstown, Pa., July S. Tho heavy rains of yesterday and last night flooded out five families in Cambria City. The water came pouring down the mountain last night and filled the first floors of the houses, destroying all the furniture that had been saved from the big flood. There is great alarm among the people over tho condition of tho Conemaugh river. The water rose five feet this morning in two hours, and carried away tho foot-bridge above the Pennsylvania railway station. There was danger of the temporary bridge erected by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad going out. Six loaded freight cars were run out on the bridge- to save it. About 10 o'clock the abutments began to sink. The temporary bridge erected at tho lower end of the Gautier offices is almost a total wreck. Orders 'were given at General Hasting's headquarters, at 10 o'clock, to get everything in shape for quick removal, as it was feared tho tents would be washed away. Tho portable bridges oyer Stoney creek were only saved after very hard work by the engineers. At half past 11 it was thought all danger had passed, when a fresh storm broke over tho valley. The rain is coming down in torrents, and people fear that the Conemaugh, will yet sweep over its banks and flood the town. Two Clond-llursU at Titusvtlle. Titusville, Pa., July 3. A terrifio thunder-storm passed over this city last evening. It was followed by two cloudbursts that caused a furious overflow of Church run, which traverses and winds through the city. From an insignificant stream tho run turned into a furious torrent in a few minutes, coursiDg through the streets, filling cellars andrising in some cases to the first 6tories of houses. During the excitement several fire alarms were turned in and the utmost confusion reigned. Fully three miles of streets were flooded and over two feet of water was on the sidewalks. Families along the line of the flood became frantic, and a nnmber of rafts were built, on which women and children were taken to places of nafety. The damazes to resident? in the city is estimated at fully $15,000. The force of the water ripped np hundreds of feet of sewers. Roads in the surrounding country are badly washed out. At East Tit usville a number of residences are badly damaged. Several narrow escapes occurred from drowning in this city. A family living about three miles up the creek were taken out of their house 'after having floated on top of chairs and tables for several minutes. Charles Miller, a boy of fifteen, was 6ucked into a burst sewer while crossing the street, and later was taken out. for dead, but after several minutes' work was resuscitated. Water poured down the 6ido hills northwest of the city, where the cloud burst occurred in a perfect avalanche, sweeping all before it. What were fertile gardens are now stony wastes, and a number of valuable farms aro mined. Officer Michael Morau, at a great personal peril, saved tho lives of a man and wife who were being washed into tho run clinging to planks. Later on he rescued a man named Zeudick, who had fallen into the water and was unahle to swim. Iloys Itllletl by Uplitnlnj?. Dubuque, la., July a A fearful rainstorm struck this city yesterday afternoon, accompanied by a high wind. Two boys, named Corbett and Benett, while herding cows on the outskirts of the city, sought refuge in a b.nrn and were killed by lightning. Considerable damage was done to shrubbery .and trees by the high wind, and corn and other small grains suffered from tne heavy rain-fall, which, for a time, amounted almost to a water-spont. Fatal Wreck In Georgia. Columbus, Ga., July 3. A passenger train on the Southwestern road was wrecked three miles west of Geneva this morning. A sleeper rolled down an embankment. Among those fatally injured were J. F. Palmer, chief of police of Columbus, hurt in the back, head and breast, and Miss Read, of Macon, seriously injured in ternally. THE SITUATION AT BRAZIL. The Clay County Strike Likely to Be Ended by Individual Action Shortly. Bpeclal to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Brazil, Iud., July 3. The miners as well as the operators have spoken finally so far as they are concerned, and there is nothing ahead uuless the miners break the strike by blacklegging, or the operators put in ma chines, and thus change its conditions here altogether. A number of the miners are dissatisfied over tho result of Monday's election. Had the vote been secret it is thought there w'ould have been a ma jority for returning to work. As it was, many were, no doubt, intimidated by what is commonly recognized as tho tyranny of a strike. Many ot tne miners oo not approve ot strikes, and this one in particular, and are out of patience with the whole business. Others. again, aro in need, and would improve tho first chance for a break. As to machines, the operators aro not making public their plans. If they continue the business of mining they must mine by pick or machines. Tho former just now seems not to be in reach. The latter is in reach and will be introduced if the miners do not return to work soon. The operators have already investi gated the merits of tho ditlerent machines, and are prepared to nlace an order. They doubt if they can get the machines in operation to savo much trade, as it is now late for contracts, and tho miners' action on Monday has no doubt decided customers to buy elsewhere. The miners must thank their Democratic and free-trade friends, in connection with their competitors in Ohio. Pennsylvania and Illinois, for this state of allairs. Somewhat has been said about a discrim ination in favor of bituminous coal by the Chicago & Indiana Coal road. Their rate from Coxville to Chicago is (V cents. From Brazil, only a few miles further, it is $1, including 10 cents Vaudalia switch charges. This is" a question for railroads interested to settle. Tho fight is triangular miner against miner. operator against operator and railroad against railroad. A rerinction in freight rates would help, if it can be made. It is not exorbitant in fact, it is low for the distance, and from the want of sharp competition it is not likely to be reduced. Swallowed by the Strawboard Trust. Dayton. O., July 3. The Hawes com pany, of this city, manufacturers of strawboard, this afternoon deeded all their property and mills, and transferred their busi ness and good will to tho trust organized as the American Strawboard Company, with a capital of SO,000.(K)0, of which O.

F.lias and Burrell Brown, brothers, and Sam Gillespie, a brother-in-law of tho Browns, were arrested here to-night for the killing of seven white men in an election nut at Marion. Londesdale county, Mississippi, in November, 1881. A liberal application of a mixture of equal portions of air-slaked lime and wood ashes will foften cause the ground to pro duce grass when other methods have failed. It is dithcult to secure a stand of grass under trees, as the trees take all the nourishment of the soil from the grass. Lime and ashes will prove beneficial to shade trees also, and as such fertilizers are cheap they should be used more exten-eiyeljr.

At Mcriden, Senator Piatt's home, the benator introduced the President to the peoole. manv of whom were on the station platform. The weather had again cleared and tho sun was again trying to break through the mist. Hartford was the next stonnincr nlace. The demonstration thero -was ouite nretentious. The city was in holiday garb, and though it rained quite hard great crowds of people were on the stieets. The President left tho tram on the arm of Gov. Bulkeley and they entered an open carriage, when all the party had got into similar carnages tne marcn to the capitoi was begun. The houses were handsomely decorated and tho streets crowded along the whole lino of march. The CaDitol was reached at 6uch a lato hour that no stop was made and the party was driven back to the station and proceeded to Putnam, after having spent an hour and a half in Hartford. Another stop was. made at AYillimantic. where a large delegation of citizens from Putnam got aboard. The President stood on the platform of the car and shook hands with all who could get near. When the train finally reached Putnam rain was falling heavily, and tho streets wero m tern Die condition, xnese circumstances did not deter the people from turning out to greet the President, however, and the square before which the train stopped was packed. A military company and O. A. E. men vainly trie'd to rcscrvo space lor me passage ot tne President's party. All control over tho crod was lost when the President passed over the plank path which had been laid in the middle of the road, and the peoplo rushed forward to the President's carriage. and sought to grasp his hand. All the visitors wero finally placed in carriages, and, preceded by a band, a military company, the French-Canadian Association and the G. A. E. post, the presidential party passed through tho town, which was decorated throughout. In front of the ruins of fcSt. Mary's Catholic Church, where a fine arch had been erected, the .procession stopped, and Father non salute was fired in the convent grounds. Alter tne priest bad been introduced to the distinguished party the parade proceeded, the escort accompanying tho visit ors about half a mile out of town, where they turned back, and the visitors drove on to Mr. Bowen's residence at Woodstock. Congressman Eeed, of Maine, joined tho party at Putnam. President Harrison and Governor Bulkeley and other prominent gentlemen of tho party received the peopie of tho surrounding country in tho parlors of the Bowen residence to-night. The reception lasted from 8 until midnight.

An Emblem of Authority That Is Only Used by Direction of the President. Waahlsgton Special. The fact that we have a "Lord Chancel lor," or "Keeper of the Great. Seal" of tho United States, is probably not generally known. His name is George Bartle. He was born in Virginia, and was appointed to a clerkship in tho State Department from Virtrinia bv Daniel Webster fortv-threo years ago. He is a little withered-up old man of pleasantly courteous manners, as A T! ll J .1 . , , Denis a Virginia grnucnian oi mo oia school, but so secrotive, partly by nature and partly by the habit acquired during the forty-threo years of confidential service. that none of nis lellow-clerks venture to ask him even the time of day without presenting him with a written requisition from his superior officers au- . , ! A - ' ' 1 w inorizing mm to give me iniormaiion. no has sole charge of tho great .seal of tho United States, and tho Secretary of State himself cannot induce him to unlock tho doors which guard that emblem of the country's liberties without a formal warrant signed by the President of the United htates. , When the President the other night, on his return from Cape May Point, signed tho extradition papers in the case of Martin Burke, the suspect held in custody in Mani toba for alleged complicity in tho Cronin murder, he was both surprised and amused to find that , the seal of the United States could not be put upon the papers without his signing a formal warrant therefor. Assistant Attorney Baker, sent on from Chicago to carry back the extradition papers, orsircd to leave on the morning train. But'Lord Chancellor" Bartle was obdurate. He would affix tho heal if the President signed the warrant provided by tho statute, but not otherwise, lie produced an engraved document reading as follows: I hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of f tate to cause the seal of the United States to bo ctlixed to , dated this day, and elnied by me, and for doing so this fball be his warrant. As soon as the President had slgued that warrant the extradition papers wero completed by the affixing of the great seal, but not before. Theprc3ent seal of the United States was made by Tiffany JL Co.. of New York, after the design of Mr. Dwight, formerly librarian of the State Department. It is the fonrth of the series, and is a model of construction and arti&tio excellence. It depicts tho American casle, holding in each claw a bunch of thirteen arrows. and surmounted by a circular wreath inclosing thirteen stars, corresponding to the original States, and eucircled by tho motto Pluiibus Unum." It is mounted upon a massive block, and is so admirablv constructed .mechanically that the slightest turn of the screw will develop all tho pressure required, l no cost was over $1,000. Tho original Heal of tho United States is still preserved in the de partment. It is inartistiq in design, and
