ception to John L. Sullivan was held at the
Academy of Music tonight. Fourth street

with a molly crowd of Sullivan's ad-

lost none of his old-time quickness and
grace and he never appeared to better ad-
vantage than in his bout with

stage was the signal for a tumultuous ap-
plause which lasted for fully ten
minutes The big fellow stepped to the
footlignts and made one of of his character
istic speeches. He said: Ladies and
gentlemen-I do not know what to say to
you. am at present suffering
from a sad affiiction-the loss of my
mother, but l wish to thank the
New York public for their kindness
TO me. They always have been kind to me

A Girls Attemnt TO Suicide.

NEW York, Sept. 7.-One of the most
determined attempts at suicide ever heard
Of was made last night by Lena HortZog,
seventeen years of age, who resides with
her parents in Williamsburg. She was a
passenger on the ferry boat from Brooklyn
on the 1910 o'clock trip last night TO this
city. When the boat reached the Grand
street ferry on this side, Miss Hetzog
came ashore but Immediately returned and
paid her fare and once more took a seat in
the clbin. The boat had just cleared the
slip when she walked rapidly out of the
cabin and jumped overheard. The boat
was stopped and life preServers, ladders
and ropes were called into requisition. The
electric light made things as clear as day.
TIE first life preserver thrown fell close
to the girl, but she pushed it away with an
angry gesture. The noise and shouts at
tracted Ticket Taker Kelley, who has
already saved thirteen people from drown
ing He jumped into the river, seized the
girl be tue waist, and lifed her bodily
up so she might breathe. The girl
turned upon him and struggled to free
herself from his grasp. Kelley held on,
however, and made for the slip, when a
desperate struggle followed The half
dGowned girl seemed to gain strength and
f5ught like tigress. When near the
slip, ropes were throwL; Kelley caught
l-Gne and wound it around the body of his
charge, but it was quickly thrown off
This the girl repeated three times and then
Selling her rescuer by the arm, savagely
hit him. Kelley was becoming exhausted
and saw that if the girls life was to be
saved violence would have to be used,
so he was compelled to beat her
into submission. The blows had the de
sired effect for a time, but when an attempt
was made to lift her up on the ladder she
broke out afresh, but was finally landed
wet, limp and exhausted. This water bat
tie lasted fully fifteen minutes. When
stimulants were offered the girl later on
she threw the glass from her and smashed
it. Finally the reckless creature was
placed under arrest and afterwards sent to
the hospital in an ambulance, where today
she was doing nicely. Her parents say the
whole adventure arose from a love affair.

PRINCE BISMARCK
Is Awaiting The Results of the
French Elections.
BERLIN AND ST. PETERSBURG.
,ssrman Papers Out-spOken About the Gar
Z A New York Girls Very Determined
Attempt to Suicide.

BERLIN, Sept. 7.-[COpyright, 1889, by
the New York Associated Press. THE ap-
proach of the opening of the final session of
the reichstag is arousing all parties to ask
what form of policy the government is
likely to take on which to go before the
country. The semi-ofticial press affords no
special indication; Prime Minister Bis
marck is obviously awaiting the result of
the French elections. If the present gov
eminent is so materially weakened as to
make Boulangerism an important factor of
French policy, we are as certain to hear
the war drum beat as in 1887, and there will
be renewed appeals to patriotism to support
further military burdens, even if Carnot
be secured in power.
Prince Bismarck appears to be prepar-
ing to give prominence to the social reform
bills dealing with strikes and measures
aiming to protect the poorer classes against
under interest Oh loans. The legislation
generally is in favor of the working classes
and will play leading part in the coming
session, both in the reichstag and landtag
as preliminary to forming plank in the
4 election platform. Meanwhile the military
PIX pansion involves u demand in the reich
stag for credit of 5000, 900 marks.
The temper of the foreign Office toward
Russia is growing worse. The Cars treat
ment of Emperor William continues TO en-
bitter relations between the two countries.
The semi official press is permitted, or in
structed, to speak with notable frankness
and severity A Hamburg correspondent
in an undoubtedly inspired article says:
Germany must accept the fact of the per
manent hostility of the Car. The chancellor
being convinced of the Cars lasting en-
nifty, will cease his delicate and cautious
treatment of Russia, and henceforth
frankly treat St Petersburg as she treats
Paris
The paper approves the entnete with
England and disapproves the idea of giving
free scope to Russia outside of Europe.
Rumors that the Empress Augusta has
become Catholic are baseless.
The crews of the German men of-war,
Adler and Eber, wrecked in the Samoa
hurricane, have arrived at KieL Prince
Henry, in addresses told them they had
uobly performed their duty in Samoa,
showing themselves brave sons of the
fatherland He welcomed them in the
name of the Emperor who he said, loved
!, every truly brave man as his own son. The
Prince afterward gave dinner to the men.

FROM BAD TO WORSE.
Sullivan Announces His Intention Of Present.
ing Himself as Candidate for Congress.


New YoRK, Sept. THE Sun this after
noon published letter from John L. Sulli-
van, in which he announces his intention
of running for Congress on the Democratic
ticket. 1t is his ambition to represent the
Boston district He states, with such high
ambition he trusts he will in the future
make his life what it ought 10 be. Sullivan
does not doubt his qualification, as he says
in concluding that he will have no trouble
in getting a hearing in Congress or in
making Congressman listen to what he
says.
In an interview regarding his proposal to
stand for Congress, Sullivan said lyon
know of the misfortune 1 have just had in
the loss of my mother 1 don't want to
talk about it much; | can only say do not
feel like living as | have done up to now.
You know how people abuse me, and if
make good resolution my enemies laugh
at it, while my friends try to get me to
break it. But l will show them what l
mean to do without saying much about
it. In the first place shall give up boxing,
which has occupied all my time so far. 1t
is an honorable calling aud does good, but
as Congressman. or candidate for Congress,
I, of course, could not continue to be pro
fessional pugilist. My reputation is made;
the cropping up of new fighters can't injure
it, and those challenges can't worry
me- 1 shall go through with my
six weeks exhibition and shall
put my money away carefully and attend
to my political career exclusively. Now
that my mother is dead there is no one de-
pending on me but my father, and he is
well cared for He has six houses in his
own name, which will keep him in comfort.
l have brought Jim on with me from BOs-
ton because | can't leave him alone to
worry about my mothers DEATH
While Sullivan was talking of his future
political aspirations, friend of his, now in
Congress, dropped in TO see him and to ex-
press his sympathy at his mothers death
and to say he would be glad to do all be
could to help Sullivan out of his trouble
down south.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examner Dispatch. I
BROOKLYN, Sept Henry Malz, of this
city, has, ON many occasions, according to
his own stories, killed cats and had
them served to his friends as rabbit stew.
At other times he has chopped them up for
sausage meat, and just before his mother
died he served her with dish which he
called roast rabbit, and after eating it told
her that it was roast cat. On Monday last
MALI went into the cellar of 2SS Montrose
avenue, where he found three pretty little
kittens nesting around their mother. He
picked them up and ON reaching the yard
bit the head of one of them off. He then
wentup stairs and borrowed kettle from
his sister and sent for pint of beer. MALI
made wager of a pint of beer, or cents,
with Beck that he could bite one of the
kittens heads off, throw it into the beer
and tSeu drink it. Beck wagered that he
cou not. MALI then took up second kit

while it was still gasping, put its head into
his mouth, bit it off, and throwing the
body into the kettle. drank the beer. This
so disguised those who witnessed the scene
that they were compelled to withdraw. The
society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals has caused the cat fiend to be ar
rested and he will be tried for this offense.

The Minter City Riots.

New YORK, Sept. THE Worlds Grenada
special says: 1.-THE riot in Leflore county is
about over. The result, as far as can be
ylearned, is that eighteen or twenty of tie
negro lesde 8 have been shot ard hanged. 1t
is impossible to find out the exact number,
but your correspondent believes that many
more were killed. A prominent planter
who arrived in Grenada TO- day from Minter
City, where most of the killing occurred,
stated that when he left order had been
virtually restored and none but those
proved to be instigators and ringleaders
were killed. No doubt the negroes by the
hundreds for the past month have been re-
ceiving Winchester rifles and ammunition
and organizing under the influence OF bad
teachers. The whites claim that their
action in dispensing the ar ned bands Of
negroes by force was necessary for pro-
tection.r

Title 10 Tide Mater Lands.

WASHINGTON, Sept IA decision was
rendered by the land Office to-day in case
involving the rights of the United States
to tide water lands On the shores of Wash
ington territory.
The question comes before the Office on
the appeal of Frank Burns, ir., from the
action of the register and receiver of the
land Office of Seattle, w. t, who rejected
his applications to locate Valentine scrip
on the ground that the land did not belong
to the United States. The land Office holds
that the United States is invested with
title to tide water lands on the shores of
the territory and that the territory does
not possess the sovereignty attached to
statehood. The office therefore grants to
Burns his application for location.

WICHITA, Ks, Sept. This afternoon
as the sheriff of Butler county, at Ell
Dorado, was taking Robert Snyder, who
about month ago murdered his wife and
mother-in-law, to the court house for pre-
liminary hearing, mob formed and made
rush for the prisoner with the intention
of lynching him. A number of deputies

the shoulder with bullet, and four of the
mob were wounded, two of them fatally.
The sheriff ran the prisoner into the court
house, and was surrounded at late hour
tonight by the mob, threatening lynching.
The officers preserve resolute front.
