KILBAIN STILL IN INDIANA

lie Is Said to Be Quietly Ecsting at a House a Few Miles from Edinburg. From That Point He Will Secretly Make His Way to Chicago Sullivan Reaches the Latter City, and Will Go Home via Canada. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, Ind., July 12. The officers who left this city last night in pursuit of JakeKilrain and his party were not successful in their efforts at capturing tho pugilists. They left here in carriages and arrived at Edinburg about an hour behind the fugitives. The people of that town were almost united in their efforts in keeping secret the whereabouts of the celebrated quartet, and many were the artful devices used by them to throw the officers off the track. They were successful in this, and after several hours of fruitless search the sheriff and his men returned to the city. Immediately upon their departure Kilrain and his party emerged from their hiding and proceeded out of Edinburg in a carriage. They reached the farm residence of "William Cooper, on Blue river, several miles from Edinburir. about 1 o'clock last night, and put up at Mr. Cooper's residence ior tne remainder ot the night, ihey wero still there at t a late hour this forenoon, and it is supposed that after taking a much needed rest at this country place the party will proceed north in a circuitous route toward Chicago, which city they hope to reach without arrest. Mitchell was heard to state that they would avoid Cincinnati through fear of arrest in that city.' The dispatch sent from North Vernon last night regarding Kilrain boarding a train thero for Cincinnati proved to be untrue. Sullivan at Chicago. ' Chicago, July 12. Prize-fighter Sullivan reached Chicago at 11 o'clock to-day, ' having come through Indiana by way of Evansville, over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railway. He alighted from tho train at Twenty-second street and disappeared. Charley Johnson, Sullivan's backer, was also on the train, and got off at the same time. They were driven to Smith's club-house, on Sixty-seventh street. Sullivan remained in Chicago tonight, and arranged to leave for New York at 9 a. M., by tho Grand Tnmk. The route chosen will go through Canada, and is tho road furthest away from hostile Ohio. He kept himself secluded from ob servation as much as possible, but managed to visit two or three places where he could enjoy himself thoroughly in private. An Associated Press reporter, on his return from New Orleans yesterday afternoon, stopped over at Louisville. There he learned of 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 Nash ville. While watching at the depot, he caught "Parson Davies," a well-known sportiig man of Chicago, who had charge of Mnldoon and Cleary, iust as they were boarding a Monon 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 tho city this morning the Muldoon party Jeft tho train and boarded an outgoing train for the East to escape any chance of arrest. In an interview with Mnldoon he described his escape at Nashville as follows: "I was sitting with Sullivan when the officer entered tho car. They were about to place me under arrest when I said to them: 'What do you mean? I am no prize-fighter; do I look like one? I am a gentleman, and it is your duty to protect me and not to oiler me an insult. They at once abandoned me nnd devoted their efforts to securing the big fellow and Johnson, and here 1 am, a little disfigured from hard work, -but still in the ring." Muldoon was asked about the condition of Kilrain. He said that Kilrain was overtrained, aud was not carefully handled at New Orloans 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 Tiug a little heavy, but in fine condition. Muldoon says ho told Sullivan that he expected he would lose seven pounds during the fight. After the mill had been concluded Sullivan weighed six and a half pounds less than when ho 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 v tho result of the fight, and, like the majority of the snorting fraternity, believed that the battle would bo a long one; that he had instructed Sullivan to go easy at first, and that he would be satisfied if he won in three hours. Parson Davies says the correspondents were in error about Kilrain being left alone in the ring. His friends immediately took charge of him, and after rubbing him and dressing, he was placed in a carriage aud rapidly driven away. Kilrain, the Parson says, did not cry in the ring, but said, "Where are my friends." and when he was lifted into the buggy burst out crying. The Sheriff Was Bulldozed. St. Louis, July 12. H. A. Hindman, a New Orleans gentleman who anivedin this city yesterday, has this to say about the reports that the sheriff of Hancock county, Mississippi, refused to proceed against the prize-fighters: "I witnessed the SnllivanKilrain prize-fight, and kuow something about the steps taken to prevent the battle, or rather the steps that wero not taken. The press dispatches stated that Governor Lowry sent tho military down to Hancock county with instructions to act under orders from the sheriff of that county in regard to stopping the fight. It was further stated that the sheriff refused to give any orders, and tho military was, therefore, rowerless. As I understand it, and I have the story on good authority, the sheritt fully intended to net according to the in structions of the Governor. "The people of Hancock county, however, wanted to see the fight, and on Sunday night near midnight about fifty prominent citizens called on tho sheriff and quietly informed him that if he took any steps to prevent tho mill he might consider his political existence at an end. They used other forcible arguments, and finally persuaded tho sheriff to let the matter alone, and allow the people to see the biggest fight of the century." Washington Pugilists Under Arrest. Washington. July 12. About a week ago Mike Keidj-, of this city, and a Philadelphia pugilist named Joe Kennedy, engaged in a prize-fight at a resort on the Maryland shore of tho Potomac. The owner of the resort complained to Governor Jacksou, of Maryland, who issued a requisition on tho District authorities for the surrender of the lighters, seconds and backers. The requisition was served to-day, and Keidy, tho winner of the fight; W. McMillan, his second, and three other participants will go to Prince George to answer the charge made against them. Knocked Out In the Third Round. San Fkancisco, July 12. Tho fight to a finish between Johnnie Griffin, of Boston, and Billy Murphy, the Australian featherweight champion, for a purse of l,S00, took place at the rooms of the California Athletic Club to-night.

The fight resulted in Griffin being knocked out m the third round by a right handcr on the chin, after a lively contest. Has Forfeited It Charter. JaCKSON. Miss.. July 12. In a lengthy interview, to-day, Governor Lowry expressed the opinion that the New Orleans & Northeastern railway has laid itself liable to forfeiture of its charter by the recent acts in connection with the Snllivan-Qirain fight, and he will shortly direct the Attorneygeneral to institute proceedings against the road with a view to obtaining cancellation of its franchise.

If the poets, novelists, essayists and newspaper writers gathered here do not all become famous lor their literary productions, they certainly have during their brief stay in this city of the lakes established a reputation lor having a good time. The reunion of old friends and coworkers in the cause of Western literature and the forming of new acquaintances, has furnished a delightful social week, and one that has been most heartily enjoyed by the "literary fellers." who have to-day been engaged in tho pleasant pastime of "kicking up" their literary heels. The afternoon was pleasantly spent in the ' beautiful park, and in rowing and fishing in the lake, and there was dancing for those who desired that amusement In the evening tho company returned to' the city, where the meeting closed with a literary entertainment at the Presbyterian Church. This closing entertainment was ono of the happy events of the pleasant week spent here by the association. Following are tho names of those who took part in the entertainment: Nora Marks, J. W.

Any Attempt by the Emperor to Resist the People Would Cause a Revolution. Consul Enoch J. Kmithers, In the Wilmington Morning News. The Chinese are among the shrewdest people in the world. They are peculiar in our estimation. Their civilization is an old one and its customs and rules are very rigid. They are a well-educated people can ask ana answer tho most difficult questions. Their system of education is largely a cultivation of the power of memory and is more in the acceptance of what wiso men have thought and said than in investigation and demonstration. They are a very presistent people. I have known old men who have spent a lifetime in study and examinations for the rank of a mandarin. Several old men were giv m degrees while I was in China simply bcciluso they had been striving and waiting so long. The Chinamen who come to this country are not recognized in their native land as the true Chinamen. They are coolies, and by true Chinese are called foreigners. Just before I came away one of the'greatest of Chinese statesmen sent for me and said: 'I want to talK to you about this question of the expulsion of the Chinese from America." I could not talk with him in any official capacity, but as an individual. Ihad a long conference with him on the subject. The difficulty has been in tho abrogation of treaty rights. They do not understand the situation. When I made the minister understand the labor side of the issue by calling to his attention the fact that railroads and labor-saving machinery were excluded from China by the populace for the same reason that Chinese coolies are excluded from America he admitted the force of tho argument and replied: "Your argument is very good." In one sense the Chinese government is a tyranny, but in others it is the most absolute democracy of which I have any knowledge. The government would be overthrown at once if it attempted to oppose the will of the people at large. Four Men Could Lift the Eiffel Tower. Harper's Bazar. The tower stands midway between the dome of the Trocadero and the eupola of the exhibition building, in the midst of a park diversified by water-falls, hillocks and streams, and dotted with buildings of various kinds. It is over 9S0 feet in height, and is divided by three stages or platforms, the first at a distance of ISO feet, the second S70 feet and the third SCO feet from the ground. From the third Platform rises a pinnacle, 120 feet in height, containing a powerful electric light. The tower springs from an arched base, and, owing to tho mauner of its construction, prosents to the eye an aspect of peculiar lightness, resembling in its appearance a network of iron niesnes; indeed, although the weight of the material employed in the structure is 6,404 tons, the distribution of this weight has been so adjustc-d to tho surface itcov-. ers that it is said the tower might be lifted from tho ground by four men of average strength. Congressional Demagogy. Philadelphia Record. Hy a demagogic trick, which has deceived , nobody, the steam plate presses in tho liureau of Engraving and Printing, at "Washington, have been busted in favor of a much larger number of hand presses. The government will save a royalty of one cent per thousand impressions, and the plateprinters who lost their situations when tho steam presses were put in will return to their old places. Such a victory of retrof:ression is more harmful to the cause of inest labor than many defeats could be. This is pre-eminently the age of machinery, and it is an error to suppose that the recurrence of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to antiquated methods of production is an advantage either to the workingmen or to the government.

A Flea of Self-Defense Intervened for tho Venomous Rattler, rittstrartf Dispatch. Less art is required to write snake stories than any other Kind. Ever since the day that Eve flirted with the ophidian there has been a glamour about tho serpent that obscures all defects in symmetry or rhetoric in a snake story. The reader becomes hypnotized as soon as he strikes the 6tory, and a chilling sensation of the horrible comes over him aud stupefies him to such an extent that he gives readj' credence to . any rot that the narrator 6ees tit to furnish, no matter whether the snake in question bo a harmless garter, a venomous rattler or a rib-cracking boa-constrictor, j But there are somo things ridiculously stupid that snake-story-tellers indulge iu with delight, and one is in telling ot thi terrible character of the rattlesnake. It is true he isn't a pleasant bed-fellow, if you give him room to strike, but if you were to throw your arm across him within six inches of his head, and hold it there, ho couldn't hurt you in tho least. Tho rattler's bite is very dangerous, but ho never attacks iny one except to snap viciously in tho direction of any noise when he is blind. It is the snake's sense of helplessness thatt makes it ugly at that time. He is a very peaceable reptile, and had rather crawl away from you than attack you at any time, except that the mother, when 6he has her amiable little suakelet sporting about her, is possessed of all tho virtue that belongs to motherhood in any sphere of animal lifr, and is jealous at such times of any foreign familiarity. The writer has been among tho rattlers many times, both in the Allegheny mountain huckleberry patches and on the prairies, and found them universally disposed to peace, and averse to action except when hungry, and they are too modest to make a meal on anything larger than a young rabbit. Tho fact is. that one ancrv bear, when cornered, is more dangerous than would bo the combined attack of all tho rattlesnakes in Maryland. There is another ridiculous belief largely entertained in sections where vcnoniont serpents abound, and that is that their venom causes them to go blind in hot weather. The fact is, that all snakes in this latitude, venomous and non-venomous, aro blind just beforo shedding their skins, and they all get new suitn each summer. Tho all shed the skin, or whatever may bo its scientific came, of tho eyo as well as tho rest of the body, as you may determine for your own satisfaction the first time you Bnd a freshly cast-oft snake cuticle. IJob-Tailed Hones. Buffalo Commerclal.Advertlser. "It is the most ridiculous fashion I havo ever seen, this bobbing olF horses' tails." remarked one of the leading horsemen in Buffalo to-day. "If I am any judge, tho mane and tail of a horse are among its best qualities. In Massachusetts there is a rigid law against this cruel practice, and it ought to be adopted in this fctate. But. say: a person with any common sense ought to bo ashamed of himself to drive a bob-tail nag. It is all right for full-Hedged dudes, but biui ncss men alas! they make me sick." Should Reverse the Order. Pittsburg Dispatch. The disappointed lover who killed tho woman he wished to marry, her sister and then himself, should have reversed the order of his slaughter. If people who are imTilfl hv lnv to murHfr will commence the butchery by killing themselves they will establish a reform of the usual ordei that is much to be desired. m Paid by a Lady Friend.
