NEW ORLEANS. July AT II o'clock
tonight there was considerable excite
ment in the city over the prospects of
military interference, as two military
companies in the city, constituting the
state national guard, had gathered to-
gether about hundred men. 1t is
stated on reliable authority that Gov.
Nichols will 60 out with troops
in person. One company, it is under
stood, will take chartered steamer at
Milneburg and cross the lake to Hone
island, where the governor believes the
fight will take place, owing to its dis
puted state location, while the other
companies will proceed on tram.
Orders have also been posted
threatening soldiers who don't answer
the call with heavy fine and imprison-
ment. This is provided for IN the state
statutes. Word has been received from
Bay ST. Louis, Miss, that company of
troops from Mississippi had left there
this morning for the dividing line be-
tween Louisiana and Mississippi, where
they will intercept and arrest the prin-
cipals in the fight if they at
tempt to fight in the latter state.
The sales at II o'clock tonight of tick
cts to the ring side amounted to $4,000.
Gov. Lowry sleeps in peace tonight.
Every station on all the lines of rail-
road crossing the border which divides
Louisiana from Mississippi is guarded
by militia under instructions TO arrest
the principals, should they attempt to
fight in Mississippi. A squad even
guards the valley route at the state line.

having secured the passage of one pub

ducerS never seemed to enter his mind.
He put himself above his party, and re-
PEELED honest advisers. He alone came
to think himself a great man. Few SEN
sible men believed OH the Fourth of
March, 1889, that any one could ever
make Cleveland's administration re-

officeseekers, and looks after the inter-

SERMONS IN NAILS.
The Novel Way in Which Rev.
Charles Spurgeon Illustrates
His Lectures

The Novel Way in Which Rev.
Charles Spurgeon Illustrates
His Lectures.
Philadelphia North American.
Last evening at Bethany Presbyte-
rian church, Rev. Charles Spurgeon,
son of the author of the celebrated
Spurgeon sermons, delivered for the
first time in this city his lecture enti-
tied "Sermons in Nails" Mr.. Spurgeon
has novel manner of illustrating his
subject, by the use of guilt cross.
which is operated by means of two
electric wires, which are run from the
bottom of the cross to the top and then
to the support, which is situated di-
rectly behind it, and are then run to
the floor. where they are connected
with battery. Several different styles
of nails are used. representing the
many classes of people to whom minis
tiers of the gospel direct their sermons.
After giving brief description of the
class of persons which he represents by
one of these nails, he places it at the
bottom of the cross. and the current OF
electricity holds the nail in place. Some
of the nails are made OF iron, and will
hold fast. These are used to illustrate
the people who profit from the sermons
they hear. The others are made OF
wood covered with gilt, and conse-
quently will not hold. They represent
people who are needless. and need to be
constantly reminded of their danger.
Among the people who were repre-
sented by the nails was: MI. Stuckup,
as Mr.. Spurgeon termed the one who he
represented by gilt-headed nail that
was very straight. That character, said
SpurgeOn, is the hardest kind OF min
lister to make an impression on. Mr..
Stuckup is one who would consider it
an insult for any one to speak to him
upon the subject OF religion, or, in fact,
anything that would benefit him in any
manner.
There are several classes too numer-
Gus to mention which he represents by
means of nails and screws of different
kinds bent in as many shapes.

disastrous fire occ urred here about
o'clock to-day. 1t started in the livery
barn of j. V. McGetrick, and was
caused by spark from pipe or cigar.
The alarm was given at once, but the
fire was beyond control before assist
ance could arrive. The Commercial ho-
tel, sample room and stable and Ander-
sons photograph gallery were also
burnt. F. w. Phil breck's brick build
ing on the corner orth of the CONNER

time, but after hard work was saved.
The Gale Sulky Plow company, of De-
trOit, Mich, lost three horses and four
wagons, valu ed at $1,000, that were
placed in the livery barn last evening.
McGetrick's loss is about 1000, insured
for $3.50. S. E. Bailey's loss on the
Commercial hotel and contents is 1000,
insurance $1,000. Anderson's loss on

ance. The NJ. E. parsonage on the cor
ner east of the Commercial hotel caught
fire number of times, but was pulled

WOMEN JUGGLERS.
Their Dexterity Is Nearly Equal to
That Of Men,


That of Men.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
l saw two women jugglers at JeypOre.
They were bright. intelligent-looking
girls, one of whom appeared old enough
to be the mother of the other. They did
many wonderful things, one of which
was mixing up sand in water and then
putting the hand into the discolored
fluid they brought handful, which
they filtered through their fingers as
dry as before it went in. The younger
of these girls was perhaps fifteen. She
was tall, Well-fOrmed and fine-looklng.
She had bracelets on arms and on feet,
and her eyes were as beautiful as these
of gazelle. One of her tricks was the
lifting of a heavy chair by her eyelidS.
the thought of which almost makes my
eyes sore.
The chair was a heavy mahogany
one, which belonged to the room in
which | was staying. She tied two
strong strings to the top Of this and
eyes by little round metal cups, each
about the size of nickel. These fitted
over the eyeballs and under the lids,
and she bent over while they were so
fastened. Raising herself she pulled
up the chair with these strings, with
the muscles of her eyelids, and carried
it from one side of the room to the
other. 1t was horrible sight, and as
she took the metal cups from her eyes
they filled with water and she almost
sank to the floor. l told her the trick
was disgusting and that she ought
never to try it again. Still, for this
and the rest of the show these girls
were we'll satisfied with two rupies, or
about 20 cents

He remained in his room during nearly
the entire forenoon, but at about IL
o'clock he came down to the gymna-
SUM. where a large number of the
members of the Southern Athletic club
and their guests were assembled. His
condition had visibly improved and his
eyes were brighter and his movements
much more active than on the
previous day. Mitchell appeared to be
well contented with his mans condition,
and said: IF Sullivan doesn't lick him
in twenty minutes he wont do 1T in
month" The members of the cluD,
some of whom were disappointed at his
appearance on his arrival, changed
their minds to-day, and expressed
themselves astonlshed at his physl-
cal development as we'll as the I'M
provement in his demeanor. Said one:
! ever saw. To look at him one would
take him to be a loose-jainted, round
shouldered fellow, about five feet, ten
inches tall, with small chest, long
arms. and not at all athletic; yet
you should see him under excitement,
as | did. His form appeared to lengthen
fully three inches, his chest bulged
out, his eyes flashed, and he appeared
able to knock down mule with his
fists" When carriages were in readl-
ness Kilrain, Mitchell, Murphy, Moore
and the others retired to their rooms
and
PACKED THEIR GRIPS.
1t had been given out that the party
was going to the West end for a drive,
and only the usual excitement was Gre
ated by the departure of Kilrain. When
Kilrain and his companions appeared
with their grips it was seen that the
party was bound for the scene
of the coming battle and not
for the West end. AS Kilrain left
the gymnasium, in reply to the adieus
of the club and wishes for his safe and
speedy return, he said: 'Good-bye,
boys; I'll be back with you in short
time, and I'll bring you good news"
These confident words, accompanied as
they were by smile and look of de-
termination, evoked loud cheers. The
party set out and were driven direct
to the Queen and Crescent depot.
On arriving there train, consisting OF
engine No. II, baggage car and two
passenger coaches, was found IN walt
ing. Kilrain and some of his friends
entered one of the coaches, and Sull-
van and seven of his friends took
the other coach, and at O'Clock
the train departed for the field
of battle. At $50 o'clock this evening
the arrival of both principals and friends
on the battle-ground was wired to the
city. Last night Capt. w. 81. Beanham,
commanding the Louisiana field artil-
lery, fifty strong, received orders from
Gov. Nichols to hold his command in
readiness to move at a moments notice.

Scene of the Fight, Which Is to
Begin at z O'Clock.

NS'H GU . " SAOOA'
New YORK, July s.-The Worlds
New Orleans special says: Two Pull
man sleepers had been quietly cl "a
tered yesterday on the Queen u CreS
cent road and nobody knew
it except Frank Stevenson and
Jimmy Wakely. The rumor was
mysteriously spread about town last
night that Sullivan would be taken off
on Lake POnchartrain on a yacht and
landed at point on the line of the rail-
road. The New Orleans newspapers
duly chronicled that fact this moluing,
and the anxious ones who were afraid
of being left haunted in the streets in
the vicinity of the big Fellows"
boarding house in the hope of getting a
straight tip. Fhis was precisely what
the crafty Muldoon wanted. To carry
out the deception he did actually take
Sullivan out Of his quarters at o'clock
this morning, and drove off rapidly in
the direction OF West end. Half
an hour later he came back
by another route. The street was
silent and deserted, and the fighter made
his way back to his room unobserved.
Everybody in town thoughthe had gone
until Mike Cleary appeared at the st.
was discovered seated at the window Of
the boarding house soon after. Sulli-
van was at that moment resting
quietly in cottage in the suburbs
not mile from the railroad station. He
had been taken out at O'Clock in the
morning. There he remained until it
was time to take the train. The same
policy was pursued with Kilrain, but
there was less secrecy about 1t. He,
too, was driven out into the country
with Pony Moore, Frank Stevenson
and Charley Mitchell. At $3.50 o'clock
the party started for the sta
ton at a short distance from the city
and entered their car. The Sullivan
party consisted of Sullivan. Muldoon,
Cleary and Wakely. With Kilrain were
Mitchell, Moore, Frank Stevenson and
Bob Masterson, of Denver. William E.
Harding, who had goJan inkling of what
was going OH, made his way to the train
and, not knowing one car from the
other, got on the Sullivan special. He
the back of the neck and tossed him off.
No time was wasted after the fighters
and their friends were seated. The en-
gineer opened the throttle and the
train moved off. The principals,
arrived at the battle ground about $50
p. m. They will have quiet night and
enter the ring at a. H., refreshed by
good nights sleep at Richburg, near
which point the ring has been pitched,
103 miles from New Orleans.
New YORK, July THE Worlds

ernor tonight received message that
the Northwestern road had been cleared
for specials. and that it was be-
lieved that the fight would take place
