SULLIVAN AND KILRAIN.
Both VIII Probably Be In New York
City To-day.


MITCHELL NOT LIKELY TO GET ANY OF KrLRArs's
SHARE OF rHE GAZE MoSEY-rHE WIVES OF
THE vASouIsHED MAN AND HIS TRAINER SENT
FoR-eov. Lo~kY's PROSECUTIONS.
Charlie Mitchell arrived in New York yester-
day afternoon and went at once to the home of
John Stroul, in Harlem, where his baggage had
been received from the south. Stroul said that
Jake had not been in New York since the fight.
Mitchell called on Frank Stevenson in Bleecker
street to see him about getting Jake's share of
the battle money received at the gate Steven
son was not in the saloon at the time so
Mitchell left note for him, declaring that he
had no claim whatever on Jake's share Of the
money. Stevenson received the note, but as
serted that Mitchell mad already said he ex-
pscted q part of it.
Mitchell" said Stevenson, "has no claim,
and If he had l would not recognize it."
Stevenson says he will be ready this morning
TO pay Jake's share of the money over to bis
wife, or TO any other person who may present
Jake's order for it. He also said he supposed
he would hear from Mrs. kilrain. 1t was
stated that in all probability Mitchell would
sail IN day or SO for England, and Stevenson,
departure. Stevenson will meet some one in
the morning, he says. who is authorized to re-
ceipt for Jske's share of the funds.
NITCHELL's TRICKERY.
Speaking of the rumor that Charlie Mitchell
who claims part of the stake money, Mr.. W. E.
Harding said: Il don't see what claim Mitchell
has against anybody. He hasn't been Of the
least use to Jake, and he doesn't deserve a cent.
BY the way, did you know that Charlie Mitchell
tried to give Jake morphine pill just after the
fight was over? Well, he did, and now and
other sporting men would like to know what
business the trainer of a man who is to fight
big battle has to carry morphine pills around in
his pockets. This gives color to the story that
Kilrain was drugged. He was taking medicine.
is well known now, and what would be easier
than to make a mistake as to pills?'
Chris. Clark. the representative of Richard
X. Fox, said yesterday: II have not heard any,
thing about Mitchells claim. don't see what
Mitchell has to do with the match, anyhow.
No one hired him to second Kilrain, and we
have never had any communication with him
about the fight. All the claim he has is against
hilrain alone, and what arrangements the lat
ter may have made do not concern u.s. He will
make himself very much disliked and be very
unsportsmanlike if he makes any such break"
Arthur Z. Lumley, of the illustrated Ne1os,
said last night: sullivan will demand the belt
and will get IT. No one ever heard Of deposit
being given by the winner of the belt. / am
afraid the donors are afraid John will make
good his threat to give it to the Bowery boot
blacks. haven't any idea when Sullivan will
get back MitchelPs talk about claiming 81, 600
Is all bosh. The stakeholder will not pay any
attention to him."
KILRAIS PROBABLY NOW IN NEW YORK
Jake Kilrain passed through Rochester, N.
Y, on the st. Louis express east last evening"
lie made no attempt to conceal his identity, in
which respect he differed from Mitchell. who
passed through here on Sunday night. Kilrain
was on his way to New York. He told one of
his callers that he was glad to meet him and
asked II he looked very bad. His hands did
not seem much injured. He said he felt sore
but was sure he was not so badly battered as
had been reported. He asked if there was
likely to be any trouble. and on being assured
that there was none he said that they made
him a good deal of trouble in Indianapolis
where he had to stay two days and a night in a
corn-loft.
MRS. MITCHELL AND MRS. KTLRAIN SUMMONED.
The wife of Charlie Mitchell went to New
York from Baltimore yesterday, in obedience
to telegram from her husband at Toronto on
Saturday. Jake Kilrain's wife went with her.
A letter was received at Kilrain's house yes
terday addressed to Jake. from Henry Hudson
OF Chicago. The latter said he won 81 900 on
the fight by overhearing Charlie Mitchell in
New Orleans tell a man about fifty-iv years old,
with mustsche and an English accent, to bet
all he had on Sullivan, as kirain's defeat q
foregone conclusion. The writer also saws that
he watched Mitchell in the ring and saw him
communicating with Muldoon by signs Mrs.
kirain is beginning to lose her good feeling
Tor the newspapers. In fact, she openly de-
nounces them for publishing every movement
kilrain makes, and she thinks that if the news
papers had only been quiet her husband would
have been home before this.
Il believe they want to see Jake arrested"
she said to a reporter, land publish all they
can hnd out against him. II he did get home
and the newspapers would publish it Gov
Lowry would then send word to the police here
to arrest him. l wish they would let him alone
and give him chance to get home"
SULLIVAN LEAVES CHICAGO.
John L. Sullivan, after terrible debauch in
Chicago, including the knocking down Sunday
night of Sailor Brown, who yesterday had been
threatening vengeance against the fistic cham
pion, was put on train for New York yester-
day afternoon. The manner in which he has
conducted himself since he left New Orleans,
and especially while in Chicago, has disguised
even his friends, who have been unable to con-
troll or to do anything with him. His ugly
nature and defiant attitude, which have be-
come still more pronounced and uncomfortable
since his reinstatement as champion, have
rendered him dangerous, and he has given
loose rein to his appetite for stimulants until
his condition has become that of the most dis
gushing inebriate.
About o'clock yesterday morning he arose
from drunken sleep in Curley's saloon
IN company with two or three associates Soon
after o'clock some friends, who had been
searching for him, found him in drinking re-
sort and took him in tow. No one knows where
the great slugger slept off the effects of the
levee whisky. The route chosen was through
Canada. over the Grand Trunk railroad Sui
Ivan affects not to fear arrest, but his friends
thought it best to be cautious for the present
GOV. LOWRY IN EARNEST.
Besides the case against Referee Fitzpatrick,
whose arrest and admission to bail was men
toned in yesterdays STAR, District Attorney
Neville at Purvis. Miss, has secured the arrest
of G. W. Rich, on whose land the Sullivan
hilrain fight took place, and J. 7. Jameson of
Lsuderdyle county, who were taken to Purvis
by the sherifis OF the respective counties Sun
day night. These parties waived examination
AID were placed under bonds of $1,000 each
for their appearance at the next term Of the
circuit court Bonds were furnished and the
defendants released. 1t is said that afiidavits
have been made against K. C. Carroll and L.
e. Tyler, superintendents of the New Orleans
and Northeastern railroad, and that the COVER
nor has been expected TO issue extradition
papers for them. This begins the fight against
the railroad. Nearly everybody is with the
governor IN this fight and, knowing the district
attorney to be a conscientious and determined
Official, IL can be safely said that the guilty
parties may expect a vigorous prosecution.
