settled the case with the hello Of a lawyer,
without appearing in court.
While the traders nave suffered hea vily
the sporting men have bael nipued even
worse. Mike Clarke, the proprietor of
Clarke's hotel, has done m re toward put
ting Sullivan on his fe,t than any other
man. he has helped tns big fellow out OF
more than oae tight hole, aud has been a
friend to him from the start. When Sulli-
van returned 10 Boston after his victory
over Paddy Ryan he received q
monster reception in the Mechanics
building in this city which net
ted hun nearly $4,000. Immediately
after that Sullivan opened a saloon, and
people supposed it was done on the proceed S
OF the benefit. But the enterprise was
backed by Mr.. Clarke. Sullivan soon ran
the business into the ground, chiefly be-
cause he had no business instincts, and also
because he patronized his own bar too
freely. The enterprise was wrecked, and
Clarkes loss was more than s., 200. Sulli-
vans whole indebtedness to Clarke, it is
SAT-, ranges from $12 900 to SIS, 900.
Sullivan owes Jimmy GolFille $500, and
Mike Gleason loaned him nearly as much.
But neither of these gentlemen would thin k
of asking for it. Sullivan borrowed $500
from one young man at abe South End who
could not afford to let, bin have it, aud
now he needs the money badly. But his
requests have been ignored with the rest.

been enormous for one in his protest. a.

In addition to his eminent fitness for the

KILLED In HIS CAB.
ENGINEER WALTER POWELL COMES
TO A SUDDEN DEATH.
Verdict of a Coroner's jury In freder'cKs'
burg that II Was Caused by an
Accidental FALL

Engineer Walter Powell, of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road Company, came to a sudden end Sun
day morning.
He was on n north-bound freight train,
which left here at o'clock, and which had
lust passed Whitewater station, seventy-slx
miles distant from Richmond. He was sit
ting on one side of the cab and Mr.. Bell
Cousins on the other. The colored fire.
man, Armistead Page, was in the tender
shovelling coal.
Powell and Cousins each was looking
out of q window. The fireman had ms
back TO them. Thus the three men, tnougn
so close together. were all looking different
ways.
TEE BODY.
Mr.. Cousins, when next he looked into
the cab. saw Mr.. Powell lying on the tioor
up against the boiler. With the help or
the fireman he drew Mr.. Powell from that
position and the train was stopped, and
Conductor Wright coming forward. an eX-
animation of Mr.. Powell was made. He
was somewhat burned, and on one side OF
his head was a confusion and possibly q
fracture of the skull. His silk cap, found
on the floor, had cut or tear IN that part
which had covered the wound.
RUN BACK.
As the best possible thing to do, the Con-
ductor directed the fireman 70. run the
train to Quantico. This was DONE puI
finding it impTacticable TO get the needed
surgical assistance there, the caboOse was
attached 10 the locomotive and Mr.. Powell
was carried TO Fredericksburg, and there
the best possible attention was given him,
but he lived only short time.
THE VERDICT.
A coroner's inquest was held and the
verdict of the jury was that deceased came
TO his death by an accidental fall while
running his engine. Tho body was put
upon the next south-bOund train and
brought to Richmond.
POSSIBILITIES.
II NAV be that Mr.. Powell was seized
with vertigo and fell ana killed himself by
striking the floor, or it may be that while
he had his head out of the window no
struck it against some object passed. Both
theories have been advanced. There were
n number of cuts and bruises upon the
body. but only one (and that on the skull)
that seemed TO be serious.
PERSONAL.
The deceased was a nephew of the late
Joseph T. Powell, and resided at No. 200
Pine street, and was thrty-one years vi
age.
For some years prior. to entering the en-
plOvment of the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad Company, he
had resided in Manchester and worked at
I the Danville Railroad Company's shops.
/ His funeral took place yesterday alter
noon.
THE FREDERICKSBURG VIEW.
! The DisDdtcb correspondent at Frederlcks-
| burg gives tho following additional par
/ ticulars:
The train was going at the rate of about
| twenty-five miles an hour. On examlnatloI
of the body OF deceased il was found that
wound about three and half inches Ions
+ existed on the back of his head, which hgC
penetrated the skull to the brain. How h'
should have received such wound IS I I
mystery, and the only theory advanced Il
that he tainted, and in falling was knocked
by the lever against the foot-rest.
