NEW ORLEANS, July 9.-Wm. Muldoon,
the wrestler, who trained Sullivan for ths
fight, had this to say to an Associated Press
reporter to-day, when asked his opinion of
the fight:
my impression is that it was the great
est fight that ever took place between
heavy-weights. The fighting was fast and
furious all through, and don't think the
man was ever born who could have whipped
Sullivan yesterday. He did not know at
the end of the fight that he had fought over
half an hour. He was as strong as when
the fight commenced. and could have fought
two hours longer, If necessary. Herefrained
from fast, needless fighting by my ad-
vice, as / did not want him to meet
with any accidents. consider Kilrain the
greatest heavyweight fighter living out
side of Sullivan. He is a game. determined
fellow, and think if he had fought accord
ing to his own judgment. instead OF taking
the cowardly and tricky advice of the men
who were behind him, he would not have
been hissed by the people present. and the
American public would have more TO ad-
mire in him to-day than at any time since
he came into prominence. don't think he
was in condition for a hard fight In TINS hot
climate. He was trained too fine. and soon
became very weak.
II allowed my, man seven pounds to lose
hatt,. In the fight, over and d after ss the the
six and one-fourth pounds lighter than
when he entered the ring. He was not a
bit tired. was cheerful and in no way in-
jured. My advice TO him is TO live the bal
ance of his life slow and easy. and never
again enter the ring as n principal. He is
now restored to perfect health, and may
yet live long and enjoy good health if he
will only take care of himself IL he fails
to do that he has no one TO blame but him

A CLOUD-BURSTI In THE EAST
Heavy Fallof Water atJohnstown, N. T.,
Causes Two Dams to Give Way.
Unconfrmed Rumor that Thirty or Forty Peo-
pie We're Carried Away While Watching
the Flood from q Greek Bridge.

ALBANY, N. Y, July "a telephone mes
sage from Johnstown, N. Y, this evening,
reports that heavy rain has been falling
since early this afternoon. The downpour
caused the Cayudatta creek to become a
raging torrent, which soon burst it's bounds.
Two dams gave way. being unable to with
stand the enormous pressure. On
swept the torrent. taking with it the
several skin factories along it's banks val
ued at many hundreds of dollars. A num-
Der of buildings and out-houses were also
swept away. The Fonda, Johnstown e.
Gloversville railroad loses some seven or
eight bridges.
There was another bridge crossing the
creek, and on it, viewing the
flood, were some thirty or forty
tore the bridge from its foundations, hurl-
ing them into the seething food below. At
this writing it is impossible to ascertain
the number saved. but it is believed that
many of them perished.
At Fonda the Central Hudson
railroad bridge was carried away al
most bodily, taking with it the tele-
graph wires, SO that it is almost
impossible to hold communication be-
tween Fonda and the surrounding towns.
The acknowledgements, situated few
miles from Johnstown, are flooded TO-
night, and the town is in darkness. In
formation from Fonda says the water is
some three feet deep in the streets. Rain
is still falling.
A complete prostration of wires makes
it impossible to communicate with Johns
town at the present hour t1030l. Every eff
fort is being made hereabouts to get def
mite. information. Some reports have reached
here that a cyclone caused the disaster,
while a more serious character is given to
the story by indefinite and, as yet, uncon-
firmed rumors of considerable loss of life.
A special from schenectady to the Ex-
press tells of the washing away of three
bridges at Johnstown. The rumors of
loss of life, the correspondent says. are
without foundation.

Railway Tracks Washed Out.

SCHENECTADY. N. Y. July "a cloud
burst washed away the Central railroad
tracks between Aikens and Tribes Hill
stations, about five miles west of Amster-
dam, this afternoon. causing another delay
to all trains. The wreck of q freight train,
which blocked all four tracks in the
morning, had just been cleared. and
delayed trains began to move both east
and west when some of them were caught
by this new mishap and q second blockade
occurred more serious than the first. The
west-bound limited and two other express
trains which left here about3 o'clock in the
afternoon came back between and
o'clock and were sent west over the West
Shore road.
1t seems impossible to get any particulars
here this evening as to how bad the break
is. or how long it will take to repair it.
Some of the trains. hurrying to make mp
lost time, narrowly escaped the cloud
burst. but all did escape. One house was
partially washed away, but no lives have
been lost.

The Shah's Mascot.

A new and noticeable figure among the
numerous dignitaries and officials in the
suite of the shah of Persia is a young boy
of 10, whom the shah has covered with
dignities and titles, and who is an object
of envy and fear to most of his majesty's
ministers. His name is Goolamali Khan.
He is the director of the corps of "royal
pages" and one of his titles is Azizus-
Sultan, "Favorite of the Monarch" "
Neither minister, vizier nor royal prince
has ever yet been allowed to sit at the
shah's table, but Goolamah Khan is an
exception to this law Of the Persians. He
is constantly by his masters side, and
has more servants to wait upon him than
any two of the royal ministers. The ex-

ment is to be found in the Persian mon

ably and mysteriously bound up with
that of Goolamali Khan, and that wise
men have Soretold that the shah's death
will be preceded only few days by that
of his young favorite; that the health and
prosperity of the latter will mean the
health and prosperity of the former, and
that, generally, whatever befalls this lit
tie one will also happen to his royal pro
tector. This belief has resulted in the
boy leading life of ease and luxury un

in Teheran. He was seated ON the knee

Needn.t Look Like an Undsrtaker.

There are people in this world so good
that they make you tired. You meet
them most often In good places, and they
ara quite apt to keep people away from
the good places instead of drawing them
there. The good Bishop Middleton, who
had studied the thing carefully, has said:
Virtue itself offends when coupled with
forbidding manners" Virtue ought not
to do that, and such coupling makes It
all the worse for virtue. There is no rea-
son why virtuous young man should
look like an undertaken, and why sinful
chap should be fascinating. Things are
wrong this way. The good young man
should be charming with wit and wisdom,
and unconsciously he will mark his way
in the world with sweetness and light
and gladness, and let virtue have a better
time than sin can ever have.-New Or
