WHAT KILRAIN SAYS.
Will He skin to Canadaa


BALTIMORE, Aug. 17.-Jake Kilrain says
he will go to Mississippi and stand trial, not
withdrawing the Sullivan verdict, but the
impression prevails here that Jake will not
do anything of the kind. He has until
Thursday to make up his mind, and in that
time he can easily make his way across the
border into Canada. He had long consult
alton with his counsel, Joseph Whyte, with
reference to the best course to be persued.
By leaving here he has everything to gain
and nothing to lose. Even his bondsnen are
comparatively safe. The law as to the coll
lection of the bond of surety is SO faulty
in this state that unless the bondsman HIM
self gives up the money there is no way of
making him. From this it will be seen that
no matter how large it may be the parolled
prisoner need have no fear of confscation.
1t is therefore not at all likely that Jake will
miss the opportunity of making his escape.
A year in Southern prison is not at all to
his liking.
Detective Childs of Mississippi reached
here to. day, and at once reported to Marshal
Frey.
and I've come for Jake Kilrain," he said by
way of introduction.
''Glad to meet you, but I'm afraid you will
have to wait awhile for Jake, for he is out
on bail, not returnable until Thursday" re-
sponded the marshal.
Mr.. Childs sighed and looked serious.
However, he accepted the marshal's invita-
ton to sit down and wait patiently for devel.
opments. A half hour later the marshal es-
corted him to the Office of States Attorney
Kerr. There conference was held, which
lasted but few minutes The States attor-
ney said that nothing could be done until
Lawyer Joseph Wbyte, counsel for Kilrsin
had been notified. The States attorney sent
messenger boy to Mr.. Whyte's Office. The
boy returned with the announcement that
Mr.. Whyte was out of the city and was moi
expected back until Monday. Then Mr.
Childs and the marshal bid the States attor,
ney "geod day." and returned to the City
Hall, where, after short consultation, they
parted. Jake is now stopping with u FRIEND
on Howard street, and takes the situation very
philosophically.

THE EARTH4UAKE IN JAPAN.

THE EARTH4CAAE IN JAFAN.
Not As BAD A. At First Reported
Nine Hundred and Thirty Houses
Destroyed By the Floods.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 16.-The steamer
City of Sydney, from Hong Kong and Yoko-
homa, which arrived this evening, was ex-
peoted to bring details of the earthquake, the
first news of which was cabled from Yoko-
homa July 80. One csblegram gave the
loss of life at three Thousand, while another
stated that almost the entire town of Kums-
mota, with population of thirty-eight
thousand, was destroyed. Full details had
not been received when the City of sgd
ney left Yokohoma, but the newspapers of
that city of August 2 indicate no such loss as
given by the cablegrams. Several late tele-
grams to Yokohoma gave the loss at twenty
| to thirty killed. Japan newspapers Jijishimpo
says, however, by great earthquake at
Kumamoto on July % many hills have been
| rent, houses demolished and people killed
| and wounded in the city, independent of the
| surrounding villages. Another shock has
! been felt and the Inhabitants are greatly ex.
cited.
| The foods having subsidized in the various

Der wagons and adjust coupling pins. One
day last November, while he was making a
coupling, the wagon broke down upon him.
His head was terribly crushed, and his neck
and jaw bones broken. The injuries sus-
tanned have made it impossible for him to
close his jaws, nor can he open them to the
usual extent. In consequence, he finds him
self unable to masticste food Hanson also

dence Presented to General Boulan-
ger.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-Five hundred French
residents of London visited General Boulan-
ger in body to-day and presented him with
an address of sympathy and confidence.
The general in speech said that he had
never used money belonging to France ex-
cept when trying to secure her against enc
mics. If he had been cited by regularly
constituted Court of Assizes he and his COLI
leagues would nave taken the 6rst boat for
France to face trial. The French govern
ment did not dare to avail themselves of the
ordinary courts, but formed a special tri
bunal composed of his political enemies,
which had virtually condemned him before it
met. In conclusion, he said he only asked
good faith from the French people and the
triumph Of the present rulers would be q
thing of the pest.
