WAITING FOR THE DECISION.
Unessiness Among Railroad Oficials an'
Employees at Kansas City.

Unessiness Among Railroad ofacials and
Employees at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 12.-Judge
Gresham's decision, on the liability Of rail
rcadsrefusing Burlington freightisanx
ly awaited here by both railroads and the
men.
Asan indication of the prevailing uneasi-
ness mere it may be said that several ofthe
roads have been refusing since Saturday
afternoon to accept perishable freight, such
as live stock, packing house products, etc.
Among those roads are the Santa Fe, the
Union Pacific and the Fort Scott and Gulf.
Two days more of this embargo would close
down all the packing houses in the city
and throw Is, ,OO0 men out of employment.
This uneaslness is likely to extend over to-
day and Judge Gresham's decision will be
an important factor in removing it.

THEY RAN AWAY.

Sullivan and MitchelPs Experience In n
French Jail-Jump Their Bail.
PARIS, March 12.-Sullivan and Mitch
ell-weary, lonely and much battered
spent a not very disagreeable night in the
jail at Senlis, 10 which they had been
taken by the gendarmes after their cap
ure on their road to Creil.
The officers took twenty disconsola.e
sports to Senlis. Not one was hand
cuffed and they could not have BEEN
treated better. As neither the officers
nor the magistrate had any evidence Of a
fight for the order Of arrest was issued on
the strength of q warning from the En-
glish police the examination partook Of
the nature of q farce. Each witness Of
the mill claimed that he was in France on
business quite distinct from prize fight
ing the magistrate seemed to believe them
and all were freed except Sullivan and
Mitchell.
The majority of those released lost no
time in putting 90 miles between them
and Senlis. Down into cell went the
principals, ald DR.. Panther was sent to
examine their bruises.
The little doctor stood aghast as he saw
the bruises on the men. The Englishman
had mass OF bumps and discolorations.
He had Jared worse than Sullivan. The
latter's left hand and wrist-the one
which was broken some time ago-needed
immediate attention, and under skillful
treatment the swelling soon went down.
At IL in the morning the pugilists were
again Summoned into court and upon pay
ment Of 5000 bail they were released from
custody. Their case did not come up at
Senlis but at Chantilly, TO which place
they were driven in carriage.
After their release Sullivan and Mitch
ell took train for Paris and then boarded
night express for London. Sullivan
was so drunk that he could not speak az
Ineligible word, and besides that he was
very violent. The action of the men In
running away is considered more than I'M
wise.
Sullivan said while in Jail at Senlis that
he, Sullivan, was too old to enter the ring
again, and should in future confne him
self to sparring exhibitions. The fight
would have had different ending if Sui
livan's right hand had not been seriously
hurt in the fourth round when he swung il
