ROUGH ON KILRAIN.
The Southern Athletic Club Goes
Back on Him.


Back on Him.
New ORLEANS, July 9th.-The pugiGsts
and their friends, who created such great
furore here for the past week or two, have
all LETT the city, and the populace are
gradually quieting, and affairs assuming
their normal condition.
kilrain, who was believed to have re-
ceived such terrible punishment about the
body, appeared this morsing to be as fresh
as daisy. After his return from the
battlefield he was conveyed to the Southern
Athletic Club rooms and given bath,
after which he returned to his room. He
vomited greenish substance, some of
which has been kept for analysis, in order
TO determine whether he had been dosed
(as he intimately or not
Every convenience and accomIl odation
was accorded him. Rumors that Kilrain
had been suffering from disease had been
freely circulated and in order to satisfy
himself whether this was true or not the
janitor watched Kilrain
He was evidently suffering great phys
ical pain and appeared to walk with diff
Guilty. The janitOr was finally convinced
that not only We're the reports true, but
that Kilrain had recently had q surgical
operation performed.
DR.. Dougherty, of Philadelphia, had been
attending him and hilrain had been takicg
medicine since his arrival here in fact. on
the day of his arrival he was seen to take
medicine from vial, but this at the time
was supposed TO be some preparation
which was intended TO assist him in getting
into condition for the fight.
DR.. DOugherty states to some of lhemem-
bers of the club that he had been treating
k'lraiA for boil from which he had
been suffering for some time. These facts
only became known i'll the club to-day, and
the consequence was there was a reversion
OF opinion in regard 10 kilrain and Sulli-
van.
Some of the members remarked when he
had gone that they wished they had not in
vited him. Professor Donovan stated he
did not know anything of this prior to the
fight, otherwise be would have nothing to
do with it, and he would not have allowed
Jake kilrain to enter the ring.
Since the fact has become known, Kill
rains sluggish movements while walking,
his dlslncllnation to strip and his aversion
to take exercise, as well as Mitchell's care
that he should not take any, and Kilrain's
troubled looks, his rather cadaverous face
in fact his hundred strange actions, words
and looks-are all attributed to this.
Professor Robinson, in charge of the
pupils of the Southern Athletic Club who
witnessed the fight, stated openly on the train
sal fake from beginning TO end, and that
Sullivan and kilrain were both parties to
IL. This explains Sullivans magnanimity
towards kilrain when he had him at his
mercy several times during the fight, when
he could easily have knocked him out.
He processes to know all about spsrriug

little comment. Some eilege that he is
mistaken, for too many heavy blows were
struck and the principals received too
much punishment.
kllraln arose this morning to dress and
take bath in the swimming baths but
was not permitted TO do so. AT an early
hour the guests cf the club gathered to-
gether their wardrobe and commenced pack

left in carriages for the Texas Pacific depot
and boarding the train left for the North
via Texas, IN order to avoid going back
through Mississippi, where it was feared
an arrest would be made.
Mr.. Stevenson, kilrain's backer left the
city yesterday afternoon via the Queen and
Crescent line for his home. Kilrain was
not suffering the least inconvenience from
the body blows he had received and be
was sounded by DIR. DOugherty, who tapped
him in the ribs end chest with his fingers
without causing Kilrain much pain.
Marsh Redon of this city has deposited
S1OO to make a fight between the st. Joe
Kid and Fallon of Brooklyn, for from
81 900 to 50 500 a side, the fight to take
place in November within 200 miles of
New Orleans, William Z Harding to be the
stakeholder and to appoint a referee.
MITCHELL A FRAUD.
New ORLEANS July 9th.-Mitchell is at
tempting TO excuse himself for Kilrain's
defeat In doing so he accuses himself of
fraud on the public and Kilrain's hackers
Mitchell now says that kilrain was not
fit TO fight. He was suffering from an ab-
cess in the groin and lately had to undergo
three surgical operations.
kilrain and Mitchell did not even inform
Frank Stevenson, whom Fox specially Sc
lected to represent him and manage Kill
rain until the last night of the surgical op-
Grafton. In fact no one knew the secret
| except JOHNNY Mu ply. Charley Mitchell
said they would not allow Kilrain to in
form anybody.
