JOHN L. SULLIVAN.
The Eminent Slugger Insults Waitress and
then Knocks Her Down and Kicks Her.

BOSTON, Dec. 31.-The friends of John 7.
Sullivan have been doing their utmost for day
or two to keep quiet most inglorious escapade
of which the champion was guilty on Sunday
1t is generally known that he was very drunk
On that day, and that he was dragged through
the streets by runaway team in a way that
would have killed an ordinary man, but the
full extent of his carousing and its effects has
not been made public. Sullivan has been in
bad way for two weeks or more His
conduct became such that finally his wife left
him. taking with her their infant son. and going
to Providence. The champions home. at No.
Lowering place, has been broken up and all of
his belongings have been removed. Sulliyan's
spree seems to have eliminated Sunday night
in great drunk, in which three friends Joined
him. John hired a span of horses and double
sleigh, and the first heard of them was at
Yeaton's saloon, No 865 Washington street
where the party went for supper at about $50
o'clock Sullivan was very ugly, and insulted
waiter girl who gave him sharp rotort
Thereupon the champion slugger struck the girl
q, brutal blow IN the face. Accounts differ as to
the extent OF the girls injuries. The police
claim that she was not seriously hurt, but a
more common report is that she was knocked in
sensible to the floor, and that Sullivan kicked
he as she lay prostrate. 1t is further alleged that
the party left the girl where she fell. finished
their supper, and left the place. On reaching the
sidewalk Sullivan struck one of his horses a
sledge hammer blow on the side of the head with
his fist, and began kicking the animal ferocious-
ly. A policeman came up and ordered him to
desist, whereupon the champion threatened to
treat the officer in the way if he interfered
The officer states that if Sullivan had been alone
he would have arrested him. But he was no
match for him and his friends, who were ali
sluggers John next jumped into the sleigh aud
attempted to drive down Oak street The
horses were frantic and the driver too
drunk to control them. The team, instead
OF turning the corner swerved up Washing
ton street, overturning the sleigh completely.
Sullivan clung with drunken stubbornness to the
reins and was dragged at breakneck pace for six
hundred feet through the mud and slush. with
the sleigh on top. The team was stopped and
the bedraggled prize fighter pulled out He
was vile looking object. but apparently un,n-
jured. and as full of fight as ever The girl
whom he assaulted refused to make complaint
against him, and as second resort a movement
is on foot to prosecute Sullivan for cruelty to
the horses.

wag. A guilty conscience keeps him always on
the lookout for some terrible retaliation and it
is a redletter day in the Senate when this bitter
is bit.
On one occasion, when an important measure
was before the Senate, Mr.. Garland delivered
careful and exhaustive speech, to which close
attention was given. About ten minutes after
he had finished, and, metaphorically speaking
his brow bound with victorious wreaths," Don
Cameron went over to the Arkansas Senator's
side of the chamber and said:
Garland, when are you going to speak on this
questions | want to hear you"
Good Lord" remarked the surprised Senator;
why just got through. Where were youl"
About five minutes later Mr.. Whyte of Mary
land, who had not been in the Senate during the
speech, had the job put up him, and asked
the same question in good faith.
Why. just finished. Whyte, consult the
Record in the morning"
Another five minutes passed; and then Butler
OF south Carolina, another sleepless wag. went
meekly up to Garland and asked when he was
going to speak to the bill. Considering the
source OF this last inquiry. the remark was in the
nature OF an ey opener, and Mr.. Garland tartly
replied:
III you have any more of 'em, Butler, bring
them on In a body, it saves time"

special 10 she Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-Governor Cleveland's
letter to George William Curtis on the civil
service law has almost raised the hair on the
heads of some people here. There have been all
sorts OF constructions placed upon the docu-
ment, but the one most generally accented is
that there is no security for anyone holding
a government position. There was large
class, it has been ascertained, who had
shielded themselves behind either the civil
service law or political influence, who now be-
lieve mysterious weedingout process will be
begun soon after the 4th of March, and who ex.
pect to go.
There is no one who will say that the letter of
Governor Cleveland opens wide the door on this
important issue, but the expert constructionists
believe that the men who lett their posts of duty
during the late campaign to engage IN the affrav
or contributed to the funds SO generally solicited
for, or in any way stepped aside from the beaten
path for the exercise of the common franchise.
will be superseded.
1t is thought that Mr. Cleveland will try to
break up all practices Of party succession by the
use OF federal power, and forbid the EMPLOYEES
of the government participating in politics be-
yond voting. Some think this will be done
merely for effect, while others say it is the prin
ciple the Governor has followed in his present
position. Whatever may be the design, he has
stirred the natives of Washington with long
and mysterious pole.
