to the Vanderbilt hotel, where he knew Sulli-

his visitor was, he said: Inspector, I heard
that was wanted, and / was Just going down
to see you" The inspector and Detective
Adams took him TO police headquarters in q
cab.
There was a great deal of excitement and
surprise at the arrest around the locality Of the

KILRAIN IN NORFOLK.
Jake Kilrain and wife arrived at Norfolk YES
terdey morning FROM Old Point They were
met by Frank Camp and we're driven through
the city in an open barouche to the Portsmouth
ferry, for the purpose of visiting the navy yard
marine hospital and other points of interest in
thissection. Jake kilrain is looking well and
u in tine spirits He attracted great attention,
and large throng Of citizens surrounded his
carriage whenever it stopped. Owing to the
heavy rainfall Kilrain and party returned to
Norfolk after a hasty visit to the navy yard. He
took up mis- quarters at the Purcell house and
declined all newspaper interviews. During his
visit to the yard he was weighed on govern
ment scales, reaching 20l pounds. In the after
noon he had his photograph taken. The ap-
proaches to the hotel were densely thronged
during his stay, and many private calls were
made. The entire party left last night for
Hampton, Va, via Old Point, for they are the
guests of Chief Engineer Ruth of the fire de-
partment of that city.
BOSTON ALDERMEN 90 BACK on SULLIVAN
The refusal Of the Boston board Of aldermen
to permit benefit to Sullivan has indefinitely
deferred the pugilist's return home, while at
the same time it has raised heated discussion
among a certain class. The aldermen decided
by vote of to to refuse the permit, and
since then they have been deluged with letters,
eongratuIatory and eondemnatory. The Irish
members were determined to get the permit
through, and, although defeated in the COM
mitsee meeting. they insisted on violating the
old regulation, that a proposition thus defeated
should not be again submitted to the whole
board, and brought the matter before the board
proper. Alderman Folsom cast the decisive
vote. He said he was impelled to vote thus by
the words of a venerable and respected friend
of his. Said he: Il was at West Point
known citizen of Maryland, a graduate
of West Point, who is eighty-seven
years of age. He learned that was from Bos-
ton. and we entered into a conversation re-
gardIng Boston. The old gentleman stated
that he had known the Boston OF Webster, Dex-
ter and Everett, and said that il was his belief
that Boston had gone from brains to brutality
This annoyed me. and thought long time
over the matter, and then came to the sudden
conclusion that here was a good opportunity to
begin 70 reform the city"
The other members of the board said they
did so because they did not want to fall into
the error of ex-Mayor O'Brien. The latter's
defeat IS attributed largely to the loss of many
respectable supporters by their disgust at his
prominent figuring at the presentation of the
diamond belt to Sullivan.
The Colored Slugger Thrashed.
From the New York sun.
BUFFALO, July 30.-The Tiff house was the
scene this afternoon of an impromptu mill, in
which Peter Jackson, the colored giant, who
holds the heavy weight championship Of
Australia, was knocked out in one round by
Tom Lees, another heavy weight with whom
he had fought in the ring in Australia. Peter
Is temporarily owned by the California athletic
business with pleasure by giving boxing ex-
hibitions
Jackson hired Lees two months ago for s25
week and expenses, but Lees received no
salary, except for last week, when Parson
Davies became the manager. To-day Lees de-
cided to go to New York and tried to collect
his 600 back pay. Jackson, dressed in a
Prince Albert and flashing with diamonds was
promenading around drinking in the admira-
ton Of the colored bell boys. Lees stopped
i have got money for you now" said
Jackson. as he turned away.
But I'll have it," said Lees threateningly
"Don't you mean TO pay me, you cur?"
Champion Jackson let his left caress Lees
lips as he said:
Now. take that
The blood had hardly started from the cut
when Lees squared and hammered away at
Jackson. Before the latter had time to appre-
ciate the state Of affairs Lees had knocked
him to the marble thing and then jumped on
him.
tive good notion TO gouge your eve out, :"
shouted Lees to the stunned champion, as the
blood dripped from his wounded mouth
Then the spectators pulled him of, and Jack
son was carried away to his room.
The Australian champion was able to appear
at his exhibition tonight at Geneseo hall, but
he was IN Ill huror. An offer of 800 had
been made to Mike Lynch Of Buffalo, heavy
weight, If he could withstand the colored giant
for four rounds.
Mr.. Lynch was willing; even more, he tried
TO knock Jackson out. Tom Lees. angered by
his treatment, had hunted up Lynch and given
him valuable points about the champions vul-
nerable places, abiding particularly to jack
sons dislike to have his stomach assaulted.
Lynch began the fight tonight with an ugly
and effective drive at Jackson's stomach, and
followed 1t up. The colored giant was mad,
and he got ratified. Lynch Is pie for me-" he
said before the scrap; but il didn't turn out SO,
and Jackson found him tough subject. Lynch
chnehed. and hammered without regard 10
