Sullivan i'm a New Role.

BOSTON, May SS.-JOhn L.. Sullivan IS taking lessons in statuary under the master ship of M. Mamert, ballet master at the Bos- ton Theatre. In the course of a few weeks he will make his appearance in one of the leading theatres of this city. This afternoon United Press reporter called on M. Mamert at the above named theatre and in reply to queries he said ''Yes, sir, am teaching MT. Sullivan how to pose. He took his second lesson from me yesterday and will come again this evening. I will give him one lesson each day." s'Have you seen Muldoon in statuary and what is your opinion of the physique of each mana' t'Not to be compared. Why, MT. Sullivan is of the Roman type, the antique classic style, and his posings will consist as follows: No. 1, the Gladia- No. 4, Hercules at rest; No. 5, the encoun- ter: No. 6, Begging for mercy; No. 7, Dying Gladiator; No. 8, Apollo; No. g, Apollo; No 10, Apollo; No. Il, Fighting Gladiator; No. 12, Own picture. In these he cannot be excelled. For years in Europe I have trained some of the finest specimens of man hood, but never one like MT. Sullivan"
 In an interview this evening as to why he was taking lessons in statuary, John L. Sul- hvan said: "The fact is, propose travelling all over Europe and there may be some cities in which they will not allow me to give an exhibition of the manly art, so in this art I propose to show them what boxer outside of his profession can do. The public can then judge for themselves as to my over-indulging in the juice of the for bidden fruit, for should do so I could not possibly so steady my nerves as to pose. In this country before going to Europe I pro pose beginning with my native city, Boston, to give exhibitions of this class" Mr. Sulli- van goes to St. John, N. B., on Saturday night accompanied by his manager, Patsy Sheppard, Professor Connolly and Steve Taylor, who last evening arrived from New York, where they will on Monday evening give sparring exhibition.

People wadfng Waist Deep,

EVANSVILLE, Ind, May 28.-A tremendous rainfall visited this city about o'clock this afternoon. The streets were covered with water from four to six feet deep within a considerable district. Cellars and in some cases the first floors of stores and houses were inundated, causing heavy damage. The occupants of houses in many cases waded up to their waists in removing their property. The loss will reach S2O,OOO. At Tender son, ten miles south, cloud charged with electricity seemed to burst over the town.A stroke of lightning on bridge where seven men were working severely stocked them. Lach Moore, of Chicago, and G. T. Wood, employees of the Keystone Bridge company, were so badly shocked that they are still unconscious and cannot recover. Mrs Hannah Manion, a hotel employe, was prostrated by the same bolt and lies in a critical condition.

 The Congregational church vestry was thronged on Friday evening last to celebrate Christmas with appropriate ser vices. Though having but short time in which to prepare themselves for the oc- casion, the recitations by the children of the Sunday school were very well per formed, which, with few songs, and the distribution of the fruit from the trees, filled out the swift winged hours very pleasantly, and rendered the occasion one of much enjoyment to the children, and others as well. The portion of the hall about the platform was quite heavily and tastefully trimmed, under the direction of Myron F. Davis, assistant superintendent of the Sunday school, aided by members of his class.

 Mir. Avery Benson of our neighbor- hood has lately killed two spring pigs, one weighing 408 and the other 389 lbs. How MT. Benson could make these pigs, which few months ago were no bigger than kittens, so mighty ill weight is mys- tery which we solve from the fact that Mr. B. was brought up in the good old town of Brimfeld, where the farmers raise big porkers.
 The pastor of the Congregational church in Staffordville desires to thank the friends of his parish for the generous donation of silver and greenbacks made to him on Christmas night.
