SPORTING.
SULLIVAN VS.. BURKE.
A Five Round Contest With Burke-The
Boston slugser Not Defeated.

CHIcAGo, June IL.
Inc grand stand at the driving park and
about loo carriages contained over 1900
persons at 6 IA o'clock this afternoon, when
John Burke, ''the Irish lad" weight l7C
pounds, entered the ring to face John L. Sui
ilvan, weight 237 pounds, for ave rounds,
Marquis of Queensbury rules.
Inc appearance of the champion was the
signal for an exhibition of considerable en-.
thusiasm, but when the Irish lad walked down
the track the crowd rose as one man and
cheered.
Some little time was lost in arranging the
preIlminarles and in selecting a referee. Al
6.l3, when time was called, the champion
shook hands with the little man in front OF
him. moment later Burke cleverly lodged
dangerous right handed hit, and gave the
champion rattling blow on the chin with
his left.
Almost instantly Burke was dealt heavy
blow in the back of his neck, which brought
him to his knees. Before the close of the
first round Burke was wildly applauded, on
account of several clever taps he managed
to get on the champions face
The second bout closed without any no.
ticeable advantage having been gained by
either, except for some more of 3urke's left
handed play on the champions face, during
the latter's recovery from several terrific
lunges.
The third round was uneventful.
At the beginning of the fourth, however, il
was apparent the champion had decided that
NTH round would be superfuous. Though
Burke was never squarely knocked down, he
was four times forced against the ropes, and
then fell on his hands and knees. When the
men retired to their corners, it was evident
that of the two, the champion was the worse
winded.
In the last round, Burke got in two of his
best blows on Sullivan's neck and jaw, but
their effect would have scarcely been less no.
ticeable had they been exerted on a brick
| wall.
The champion forced the lightning, as in
| the fourth round, and althOug a lumber OF
times he had the Irishman against the ropes
and on his knees, he was unable to get in q
single effective blow, and the match was de.
cided in his favor, owing to the fact that al
of the knockdOwns, such as they were, were
on his side; otherwise the points were nearly
equal.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
A Propeller Plunges Into Bridge at
Chicago. - Wonderful Escape Of Panic
Stricken People.

CHICAGO, H., Jnne 13.-This afternoon
the propeller William j. Averill of Detroit
ran into the State street bridge, which at the
time was crowded with long line of vehicles,
including street car, on which were IL peo-
pie, mostly women and children. The
crash was terrific, the timbers being
splntered and the bridge being forced open.
Nearly everybody had got of the bridge be-
fore it began to turn, except the horse car,
whose driver urged his team toward the
south approach. The passengers jumped
from the car in panic, and escaped unhurt,
excepting one lady, who badly sprained her
ankle. When the bridge swung open the
horses were at the very brink, and they went
overheard into the river, slipping through
their collars and leaving the car on the
bridge. Both horses were rescued. The ac-
cident which might have resulted in a terri
BILE catastrophy. was entirely due to the care
lessness of the captain of the propeller, as
the stop signal was hoisted on the bridge,
which was closed only a minute before
Capt. Barley of the propeller places the re-
sponsibility on his engineer, to whom he
claims to have signalled to reverse the en-
Qine. He deposited $4,000 with the city
authorities, who will propably prosecute him
for criminal carelessness, and at all events
insist on the payment of damages, which are
estimated at about $1,000. About q week
will elapse before the bridge will again be
open for travel.

TORTURED AND ROBBED.
Masked burglars Take the Savings Of q
Farmers Lifetime.

PrrrsBuRe, Pa, June lS.-Masked men
last night entered the house of Leonard Bon
ner, farmer in Baldwin township, and
gagged and cruelty tortued the members of
his family until Bonner disclosed the hiding
place of his money. The victims suffered
fearful agony The robbery was committed
in the early part of Fridav night and they
were not relesed from their bonds till this
morning at s o'clock. The burglars gained
an entrance to the place by first killing the
watchdog. Mr.. Bonner found his bed sur
rounded by four masked men. "Get up and
tell as where your money is," said the spokes-
man, jerking him roughly into a sitting posi-
tion. Bonner replied that he had no money.
and then they pulled him entirely out Of bed
and told him not to lie or they would blow
his brains out. The sound Of his voice
awakened his aged mother and two girls,
who screamed. Three of the men left Bon
ner and silenced the woman by gaggng her,
and then returned to torture him. He had only
his night clothes on, and in this way he was
bound to chair and gagged. The fame Of
the lamp was turned up,snd it was placed
under the chair. The torture was intolerable,
and when the 6ends saw him suffer for
while, they asked him If he was ready tn dis
close the hiding place Of his money. He
nodded assent, and they pulled the lamp from
under him and the gag out of his mouth.
Bonner told them he hadisl SOC, the savings of
his lifetime, concealed in an old canister in
the bedroom cupboard. They took posses
sion of the money, securely tied and gagged
Bonner again. and then ransacked the house,
obtaining about $500 in jewelry. They left
the house, leaving Mrs. Bonner, who is over
so years Of age. tied to the bed with her face
downward, and with one of her grand
daughters on either side of her. The old
lady may die Of fright and suffering. The
country Is being secured for the robbers.

THE CASE OF REL.
Evidence as to his Insanity Promised
The Pursuit of Big Bear.

OTTAWA. Ont, June 13.-Dr. Fiset who is
taking such an active part in raising fund
for Riers defence, was a member of the
Canadian House of Commons during Mr..
McKenzie's administration. Fiset Is not
known in Parliament, but is using every eff
fort among his old French Canadian col
leagues to swell up the defence fund. and to
enlist their influence to save Riels life. A
very prominent French Canadian polititisn,
who has up to the present time declined to
gave any opinion as to Riel's guilt has to-
day declared his intention Of coming forward
with proof, which will he claims, remove all
doubts of Riel's insanity.
The withdrawal of Gen. Middleton from
the pursuit of Big Bear has given great dis
appointment in government circles here. It
appears that, to insure his capture. very large
expense will be incurred, as the general tel
egraphs that the campaign can only be con-
tinued from this out at large outlay. The
troops have become worn out from continued
marching, and If the general is to follow up
Big Bear he asks for reinforcements of
mounted men acquainted with the country,
that troops who have been on active service
for the past two months may be relieved.

Dennis McGillicuddy is a noted liquor
in this city. For long series of years his
place has been searched for the contraband
beverage with poor success. Today the
newly appointed State constable, with a
deputy sheriff, visited his store, and while in
the cellar discovered one of the most ingen-
iously arranged liquor traps ever invented.
A trap door was espied overhead. On being
forced open, the officer crawled up through
1t, and found himself in small room that
reached to the top story of the house, and
which contained a large amount of liquor.
The floor of the room was so arranged that
it could be moved at pleasure, and the liquor
drawn from it without disturbing the trap
door.
