whole four of them were then sitting together,
and all of them were intox icated. The train

SULLIVAN BREAKS DOWN.
Hhe champion PugiiisE Seized with
a Hemsrhage and lying Danger.
Gusly Ill.

BosToN, April 24.--Late last night John
Il, Sullivan had hemorrhage of the
lungs, which has left him in so weak a
condition that his usefulness as a prize
fighter is seriously impaired for some time
to come. Sullivan has been leading fast
life late, and his heavy drinking has at
last brought him down. 1t was while
visitnga friend that he was alta acked,
and, after losing large quantity of blood
he became insensible, and did not regain
consciousness until to-day.
The last rites of the Church were adj
ministered to him by the Rev. Father Pat
terson early this morning. His friends
fear that he may never recover from the
attack.
1t was said last night at q well-known
sporting resort that Sullivan had lived in
reckless disregard Of training rules for the
last few months. 1t was asserted that he
had been drinking very heavily and often,
had gone on prolonged spree after his
Boston benefit, and had been helpIessly
drunk in New York on one occasion re-
Gently. He was last in this city on April
8, just after Mitchell arrived. A sporting
man, who was informed of his doings,
said that since that day he had done little
or nothing in the way Of training for his
glove fight with Mitchell. This match was
fixed for May II, and Madison Square
Garden was engaged for the occasion. Sui
livan demanded 60 per cent of the receipts
to appear.
