New ORLEANS, July Sullivan says
he will not accept Fox's belt. either for his
bull dog or himself, feeling that it is not
necessary to show that he is the champion
pugilist. He will remain here several days

This evening he will be given reception
by the Young Mems Athletic club. Joe
Coburn thought the fight was the most ex-

Kilrain Homeward Bound.

LITTLE Rock, July 1O.-The Kilraln
party passed through Little Rock this
afternoon. There was quite crowd at
the Union depot to see the vanquished
bruiser. When the train stopped there sat
Mitchell, who poked his handsome face
out of the window as sour as green apple.
Pony Moore having never been south be-
fore, poked his white head out ofsthe car
window and took in the situation. Finally
Mitchell followed by Moore, Donavan and
DR.. Dougherty alighted from the train and
entered Pratt's hotel for dinner. Kilrain
did not get out, but kept his seat in draw
ing room OF the sleeper, peering out
through the glass window st the crowd.
The slugger kept his hand over his nose as
if to conceal the effect of Sullivan's blows
and finally he turned, facing the other
way. Fifteen minutes at the depot

a close and the train pulled out
with the party seated around the bruised

This was difficult and was not accom-
plished without the assistance of Mitchell
who carefully helped him on with it.
Mitchell was not careful enough and when
the coat was being pulled off it was noticed
that the pugilist dinched as if in great
pain. He was finally seated and
supported by big fat pillows, be
ing wearied of the ride from New
Orleans. His face was discolored ana re-
sembled mahOg0ny more than anything
else, while his left eve was black and
blue, and just under his right eye he wore
a cut in the shape of crescent and that
optic was also highly discOl0red. Kilrain
said that he had been licked but not fairly,
and intimated that he would take the fight
up at the sixty-sixth round at some future
time. He acknowledges that it was one of
his off days and said Il the fight had come
off the day before he would had made q
better showing. He made no complaint,
however, only that he was not at his best
Mitchell said: "The papers say he was
fairly, squarely and honestly defeated, but
have my doubts about that. Jake was

those circumstances he was defeated. He

The Extent of the Damage.

JOhnstOwn, n. Y, says: The water which
came up over this village last night has
subsidized greatly this morning, but has left
scenes Of desolatiOn in every direction.
The water rose fifteen feet and overfiowed
everything. 1t has now fallen about eight
feet below its highest point. Ten people
are thus far reported missing. The bodies
of four have been recovered. These four
are all Johnstown people. Those whose
bodies are recovered are Charles Frear and
two other men named Coakley and
Yost and 14-year-ald BOY named Stead
we'll. The drowned and missing people
were among the crowd Of from thirty to
fifty people who stood on the stone bridge
crossing Perry street, watching the rising
water. They fingered, regardless Of their
danger, till the bridge gave way and they
were precipitated into the food.
The bridge was about twenty feet high
and fifteen or twenty wide. 1t was single
arch structure and was crossed by street
car track. The stone bridge was swept
away at abOut7 O'clock in the evening.
Two iron bridges of the Johnstown, Fonda
& Gloverville railroad were wrecked and
away. Two tanneries owned by Simon
Schriber were swept away and the Schri-
Der and AndersOn'damS were broken down,
and the water in the Cayadutta creek be-
gan to rise at 4:S0 and the stream was soon
converted into raging torrent. OF the
men, women and children who were
thrown into the water by the breaking Of
fayea fao% thS shere This Gpes @peTnne oMs the
fire department under direction of
Chief. H. A. Thompson is engaged in
search for the bodies. The water is still
very rough and dangerous for boats. The
final and fatal rise in the Coyadutta was
very sudden and is attributed to the effect
of cloud burst. Besides the sweeping
away of bridges and tanneries there is
much damage to buildings which are vet
left standing. The electric light plant was
washed out and the town lett in total dark
ness for the night. All communication by
wire is cut off save through the long dis
tance telephone over which this message
is sent.
Among the missing are the following:
r. D. Sullivan, of the firm of r. D. Sullivan
& Co., painters, Willie Myers, 9 years old,
and a son of widow Myers, Miss Ada Mil
Ter, % years old. The number lost cannot
be determined, as the estimates vary from
six to thirty. The creek is being dragged,
into the Mohawk at Fonda. The bodies
recovered were taken in charge by D. j.
Letter, the coroner. The bodies were re-
moved to the police station and identified,
and were then taken by friends. The loss
in money at JOhnstOWn will reach many
thousands Of la dollars. Thousands of

Muldoon's Opinion.


for the fight, had this to say to an Asso-
ciated Press reporter to-day, when asked
his opinion Of the fight: "My opinion is
that it was the greatest fight that ever took
place between heavyweights. The fight
ing 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 lie
had fought over half an hour. He was az
strong as when the fight commenced and
cessary. He refrained from fast heed
did did not @ want him hi to meet stlov; With as anY
accidents. really consider Kilrain
the greatest heavyweight fighter living
outside OF Sullivan. If tie had fought ac-
cording to his own judgment instead of
taking tai the cowardly and tricky advice Of
not have been Missed BY the people present
ana the American public would have more
to admire in him to-day than at any time
since he came into prominence. He was
trained too fine and soon became very
weak. ! allowed my man seven pounds
to lose in the fight and after the battle was
0yer eve ne was Just six and quarter pounds
lighter than when he entered the ring. He
was not bit tired, was cheerful and in no
way injured. My advice to him is to live
the balance of his life slow and easy and
never again enter the ring as principal.
A HUGE FAKE.
New ORLEANS, July 9.-RumOrs that
Kilrain had been suffering from disease
had been freely circulated, and in order to
satisfy himself whether this was true or
not, the janitor watched Kilrain. He was
evidently suffering great physical p lin and
appeared to walk with difficulty. The
janitOr was convinced that not only were
the reports true, but that Kilrain had sur
gical operation performed on him. DR..
DOugherty of Philadelphia had been at
tending to MIN, and Kilrain had been tax
ing medicine ever since his arrival here.
In fact on his arrival he was seen taking
medicine from vial, but this at the time
was believed to be some preparation which
was Intended to assist him getting
into condition for the fight, Dr'
DOugherty stated to some of the member S
of the club that he had been treating XII.
rain for a ''b0il" from which he had been
suffering for some time. These facts only
consequence was that there was rever-
sion Of opinion In regard to Kllrain, and
some of the members remarked when he
had gone, that they wished they had never
invited him. Prof. Robinson, in charge Of
the pupils OF the Southern Athletic club,
who witnessed the fight, stated openly on
the train while returning that the fight
and that Sullivan and Kilrain were both
parties to 1t.

BALTIMORE. July 9.-Mrs. Kilraln said
tonight: II cannot understand by the ac.
counts of the fight by rounds where John
(she calls her husband John) did any fight
ing at all. It was simply running away
and falling down nearly all the time.
John was not himself. He was a dummy
in the ring, and only had sense enough to
hold himself up. The fact is he was
drugged, and firmly believe it. The
drug was not given on the day OF the fight,
but day or two before. SO that it would
work at the proper time. I do not mean To
cast any discredit on Mr.. Mitchell, but
John was not in prime condition. His
training, think, was too sudden. About
Mr.. Mitchell! acting SO strangely, and leav-
Ing him after the fight I am at q loss to
not be satisfied with the result Of the fight
unless he meets Sullivan again"
