a CHANGE of Programme.
s o'clook

NEW YORK, July PA New Orleans
special says there were important
changes in the arrangements for the
Sullivan -Kilrain fight yesterday. Only
the immediate representatives of the
pugilists know the programme. Should
il become common property the chances
for q fight would be seriously impaired.
It is stated by those in control of the ar
rangements that no one who pays SO for
a ticket will be excluded from witnessing
the battle. Yesterday morning Bud
Remand received a telegram from Capt.
J t. Jamison of Meridian, Miss, say
ing he would accept Remand IS terms and
bring twenty men with Winchester rifles
to preserve order at the ring. Capt.
Jamison is a noted character in the
South, and his company recently quelled
a bloody riot near Meridian after an eX-
ceedingly hot fight. Remand has every
confidence in the captain IS ability to
preserve order, and everybody here be-
lieves if any attempt is made by the
crowd to break into the fighting square
lives will be sacrificed. 1t is this knowl-
edge of a thorough determination to see
fair play that is relied upon to hold the des-
perate elementip check. Remand s four
hundred, or those who are expected to
pay SIS each for tickets to be spectators
from the inner ring, are popularity sup
posed to be men who would under no cir
eumstances interfere with the fighters.
Capt. Jamison IS men will be placed in
the outside ring to hold the $40 crowd in
check. Only the referee, seconds, UNI
pire and bottle holders, and perhaps half
a dozen picked men, will be allowed in
the small Enclosure around the battl g
ring and in front of the spectators of the
inner ring. If, however, an outbreak
should occur among the members of
Bud s 400, and it is well known fact in
New York that even 400 do not always
agree. there would be little or nothing
to prevent a shower of leaden balls that
would stageer q Ward MeAllister or a
Stuyvesant Fish. Remand expects that
there will be about two thousand five
hundred spectators at the fight. Other
Judges estimate the size of the crowd at
$500. and some of the sports place the
number ut 5000 Remand IS figures will
probably be found most correct. In this
crowd nine men out of every ten will
carry fire arms, and they are men who
can handle guns - as easily as a boy
can spin a top. Wherever a coterie of
sports is gathered the tgun subject is
discussed. There is an under current of
apprehension that should things so wsong

CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 2.-The
special train of three cars having the
Sullivan party from Rochester, N. Y,
to New Orleans, came into Cleveland
over the Nickel Plate tracks early this
morning. 1t was made up of two Wag-
ner parlor coaches and a baggage car.
There was only a small knot of people in
the depot to meet the train MuldOOn,
Carl Johnson and Jim Wakeley came out
during the wait, caused by the trans
mission of orders from the Nickel Plate
depot to the Bee Line yards, that the
train was TO be switched to the Bee Line
tracks. During the few minutes stop
Muldoon chatted about Sullivan, the
coming fight and condition of his charge
as follows:
''I have no idea where the mill will
be. 1t is not my business to discuss
that. Johnson or Wakely know more
about that part of the business than 1
do. It's their money that is behind
them. Sullivan is asleep and has not
been awakened since we left Dunkirk.
He viii go into the ring next Monday as
fine as a fiddle, and better able to fight
than he ever was in his life.
The party left over the Bee Line at
s o CLOCK.

says that Governor Fifer has hardened
Joe Mackin, the Chicago wire worker,
now serving term in the penitentiary
for crimes against popular suffrage. The
governor accompanied the pardon with
review of the papers in the case in which
he stated that they had stronger support,
probably, than had ever been presented
to governor in like case before.

A THIRD EDICT.

claims Against the Prize Fight.
The Manager of the Contest Says There
Was Never Any Prospect of Fight
ing in Alabama.
Sullivan On His Way South as Toughas Leather
and Ready for the Fray-Dallas Ready

Another Proclamation.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La. July PA third
proclamation was issued this evening
against the Kilrain- Sullivan prize fight.
The latest prohibit comes from Governor
Seay of Alabama, who has taken steps to
stop the fight in that state.
The governors of Louisiana and
Mississippi have already issued
their orders. In view of their action
and because it had been reported that in
case the fight was interfered with in
these states the pugilists would run across
the line and fight it out in Mobile county,
Ala, which is only one hundred and
forty miles distant from New Orleans.
A third proclamation was issued. Gov
ernor Seay of Alabama, now at Birming-
ham, in that state ,telegraphed to-day
to w. H. Holcomb, sheriff of Mobile
county, commanding him at all hazards
to prevent the Sullivan Kilrain prize
fight from being fought in that county.
The governor says in his telegram prize
fighting is a felony in Alabama. Take
such precau tons as you deem necessary
to prevent or punish, 1 will pay any
extra expense. Sheriff Holcomb
telegraphed back that he would
obey the order of the governor
to the letter. The law of Alabama pro-
hibiting prize fighting, referred to in the
governors telegram, says:
Section $40, Revised Statutes, prize
fighting-Any person who, as principal,
engages in any prize fight or pugilistic
encounter for money reward to the
victor, must, on conviction, be impris-
oned in the penitentiary not more than
three or less than one year.
The third proclamation did not seem to
discourage the prize fight managers in
the least. Indeed there was never any
prospect Of fighting i'll Alabama, and
Governor Seay' g precautionary order was
due, probably, to the fact that the man
ager of the fight is Mobile man. Mobile
county, Ala. is the only county in the
state which can be readily reached by
rail that is within the 200-miles limit of
New Orleans required in the agreement
for the fight.

Might Rave Been a Catastrophe.

Speclal 10 the 0azStIe
PARIS, TEX, July 2.-Outside the
northern limits of the city is a saloon
which is resort for toughs and prosti-
tutes. There nightly orgies are held and
fighting, cutting and shooting are of
common occurrence. About twenty-five
yards from it is a powder magazine in
which are stored several hundred pounds
of powder. Last night the habitants of
the joint held high carnival. In a
drunken frenzy Mack Crook, the pro-
prietor of the place, is alleged to have
sFeured several gallons of oil on the door
and endeayored to set it on fire, but
fortunately it was raining and the walls
were damp which prevented the matches
from catching. Had it ignited the ex-
plosion would have shaken the city and
caused terrible loss of life. An effort
is being made to hush the thing up, but
officers are busy investigating the matter.

BELLEyEDERE, ILL, July at has
been discovered that the man who COM
mitted suicide here in the cemetery on
Sunday answers the description of

Chicago police force are looking as one
of the Cronin conspirators. Sheriff
Brockington of this county has Cooney's
description and says the dead man tallies
exactly, from the pockmarked face to
the crippled finger. Nothing was found
on the body which would in any way es-
tablish the mans identity, and it was
by the merest chance that the body was
compared with the description of CoOney
furnished by Chicago detective. Chief
of Police Hubbard has been telegraphed
and it is expected an officer will be sent
here to identify the body.

Ger Pendergast to go to Dubuque and
examine the body. Pendergast knew
Cooney and will be able to identify the
body If it is that of Cooney.
BURKE s EXAMINATION RESUMED.
WINNIPEG, MAN. July 1.-The Burke
hearing was resumed at IL 'cIock this
morning, but very little was done before
court rose at l o CLOCK. Most of the time
was taken up in contest in putting in as
evidence the evidence taken in Chicago
before jury, original copies of which
were brought here by United States At
torney Baker. Burke counsel raised
objection after objection of a technical
nature, all of which were in turn over
ruled. The hearing will be resumed this
afternoon.
Chief objections made by Mr.. Perdue
was that the dispositions taken by
grand jury were not receivable in this
court, inasmuch as the foreman of q
grand jury is not a judicial officer nor
were the papers evidence of any facts.
Judge Balm observed that the eXtradI-
ton act provided that to secure extradi-
ton it was only necessary to make out
case sufficient to secure his committal,
provided the crime was committed in
Canada. After indictment in Canada
any justice of the peace would be au-
thorized to commit prisoner to stand
his trial, and he thought it was a ques-
ton whether the mere proving the iden-
tity of a prisoner was the person named
in the Indictment sufficient in itself to
justify extradition.
Several of the witnesses brought from
Chicago were examined. The evidence
given by them did not differ in any par
t1cular from that given in their examina-
ton in Chicago. U

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 2.-Presi-
dent F. j. Kimball of the Norfolk and

quarters in this city, when seen this
afternoon in relation to the accident on
his road this morning, said !; that while
the wreck is a serious one, and has
resulted in loss of life, the report tele-
graphed from Lynchburg that forty per-
sons were killed is greatly exaggerated.
KimbaH is in direct Geographic COM
munication with the general manager of

up to i CLOCK this afternoon is that five
persons were killed, nearly all of whom
were Fain-hands, and quite a number of
persons injured. The train wrecked was

moving slowly and behind schedule time,
when it ran into washout about l 80 in
the morning near ThaXtOn s. The loco
motive and several cars were thrown
into the ditch, but the sleeper remained
on the track. The cars caught fire after
falling into the ditch and quite num-
Der of passengers were severely burned,
in addition to those injured by the wreck.
kilograms were at once sent to Roanoke
for assistance, and in a short time
special train arrived from that city,
