The Victor and Victim.

New ORLEANS, July 9.-Kilrain was
suffering quite severely this morning, but
his hackers say he has no bones broken
and that he will be all right shortly.
There are various rumors in circulation in
regard to his condition. Reports are
flying around that he is dying. There is
no truth in these, however, although Xii.
ram is rather badly hurt internally.
Governor Lowry, OF Mississippi, this
morning issued a proclamation stating he
will extradict all participants in the fight,
and especially Sullivan and Kilrain and
their seconds. Sullivan's fear of arrest
will probably interfere with the arrange.
ments for a reception, and the champion
is being kept secluded. 1t is reported
kilrain was seriously sick before the fight,
his ailment being of Il private nature.
Mitchell is supposed to have known this,
but Donovan did not.

New ORLEANS, July "a reporter of
the associated press called upon Sullivan
at his retreat this morning. He was in
the best of humor. He said among other
things that he would never enter the ring
again under any condition. He had done
his share of smuggling during his rather
brief career in the fistic arena. and he
wanted no more of it. He certainly did
not intend to fight the California negro

it entirely degrading for a white man IN

His references to KiIrain and his figbt
ing qualifications were of the most Meas.
ant character, concluding with the remark
that he (Sullivan) had got a more effective
humping in his contest with Kilrain than
ever in his life before. Owing to the dis
location of the knuckle on the first finger
Of his left hand, which occurred in the
seventh round, he was compelled to make
the remainder of the fight almost single
handed.
Charley Mitchell said: 81 am going to
challenge Sullivan to fight for S., 900 in
America within three or four months"

among the negroes on the rice plantations
on the banks of the Savannah river, and
who was tried for lunacy a week or 50
ago and liberated, although adjudged a
~lunatic, is raising cain among the negroes.
His followers fall down on their hands
and knees whenever he approaches, and
their numbers are increasing every day.
They say they are preparing for the
march to Canaan. whittier Christ is to
lead them next month. He has told
them that he has sent for a carload of
angels wings for his followers and ex-
poets the cargo every day. The negroes
are focking to him from all directions,
leaving their horses, crops, and all their
belongings, to follow him to the promised
land. Farmers are unable to get help,
and in some instances whole plantations
are said to have been abandoned. Bell
tells them that there is no need to work,
as he is going to lead them to the prom

Fined for Contempt of Court.

DENVER. Colo, June st is learned
that most of the time of the recent grand
Jury has been occupied by the investiga-
ton of charges of corruption made
against certain state officials and members
of the last legislature regarding the pur-
chase of furniture for the legislative
building. stationery and other supplies
for the members OF the assembly and the
public printing which during the ninety
davs session aggregated in the neighbor-
hood of 500. 900.
In the absence of secretary of state
James Rice, who is east, the grand jury
demanded of his deputy, j. j. Wyatt,
the keys to the rooms where the furniture
in question is said to be stored, for the
purpose of continuing their Investigations.
Mr.. Wyatt disrcgarded the demands of
the Jury and was arrested for contempt.
To-day he was arraigned before Judge
Stone of the criminal court, found guilty
and sentenced to ten days in the county
jail and fine of 800. His honor con
Guided by saying he would remit the jail
sentence, provi ling Wyatt turned over
the keys on or before 4 p. m. to morrow.

don't think Sullivan was ever in better
form: For this he can thank Muldoon,
who is a great general and the best of
trainers"
Bat Masterson, the Denver Kilrain
man, said: Il don't believe anybody can
lick Sullivan unless it is Mitchell. 1t
was a good, ~slashing, gamy fight"
Charley johnson, one of Sullivan, s
hackers, said of Kilrain: "he is the
best man to fight for a mans money |
ever saw"
Pony Moore said: 81 am disappolnt-
ed; he was not in condition; the third
round did the work. English people
will be disappointed.
Referring to the fight, Kilrain said he
had not been trained properly, that he
was not in condition when he entered the
ring and this seemed to be the impression
OF every one who saw him when he
entered. He said he would work and
get some money together again. and
would once more make a trial for the
championship.
He had Sullivan done" twice, he con
tinued, but he had not been properly
trained and was unable to take advantage
OF this, but he was willing to fight Sulli-
van again. He punched Sullivan several
times and did not seem to hit him and he
labored under the impression that some
thing must have been done to him; in
other words, that he had been drugged.
He did not have the strength ola cat, but
could stand any amount of punishment.
