READY FOR THE BIG MILL
KILRAIN TO ARRIVE AT NEW Or
LEANS THIS MORNING.


A Detective Leaves Cincinnati on the
Same Train With Him-Fears That
He Will Arrest the Pugilist at the
Mississippi Line-Both Sides Talk
Confidently.
NEW ORLEANS, LA. July 5.-There ap-
pears to be a good deal of ill-feeling between
the partisans of Sullivan and Kilrain.
About the hotel rotundas yesterday there
were a good many acrimonious discussions
in which the expletives used were more
forcible than elegant. There seems to be
disposition on tho part of the
interested parties to get every dollar there
| is in sight, and the question of admitting
even members of the local press is causing
some bitterness among the respective man
ayers. 1t has been decided that each local
paper shall be allowed two representatives,
and each of the prominent outside papers
will be allowed but one As a matter of
fact none of the papers care a snap
about this matter, but il the parties
who have engineered this fight
imagine they can fake this community they
are reckoning withoutstheir host. 1t has
been arranged that no part of the gate
|
| finally decided, and If there is not a square
| fight it will not be paid over at ALL but
be returned to the ticket-holders.
This is the programme of the local mana
| gers, and they are reliable men and will be
very apt to carry out their programme.
KILRAIN'S NEW ORLEANS BACKERs.
The arrival Of Sullivan, and the en-
thusasm exhibited by his friends III this
city, has in no wise dampened the ardor Of
the friends of Kilrain, and instead Of de-
tracing from their number, Sullivan's
arrival seems to have increased them. 1t is
a noticeable fact that, while the central por-
tions of the city are disposed to side with
Sullivan, the upper sections of the city are
| largely in favor Of Kirain A visit was
paid to the rooms of the Southern Athletic
Club to-day, and quite number of mem
bers were found, all of whom expressed
themselves as confident of Kilrain's success
in the coming battle. Dennis II. Butler, a
friend Of the Baltimore boy, last evening
received telegram from Kilrain, saying
| that he would be in the city at about IL
| O'Clock tomorrow forenoon.
TO BE MET OUTSIDE THE CITY.
Kilrain's train will be met at a point
| outside of the city as was the Sullivan
train, aud Kilrain, Mitchell, Donovan and
Murphy will be conveyed in carriages to
their quarters at the Southern Athletic
| Club rooms which have been set apart for
Kilrain and his seconds. They are very
cool and pleasant, and are situated in a
handsome two-story frame dwelling adj
joining TO and owned by the club.
They are gallery rooms, have a southern
exposure and are elegantly fitted up. The
gymnasium is fitted up with all the ap-
paratus for the development of the chest,
arms and legs and has course for pedestri
anism exercise as well as for swimming,

seconds will be able to ENJOY greater Secu-
sion than do Sullivan and his trainers, az
they will not have to go out into
the street at all to 20 to and
from the gymnasium. Kilrain will remain
in his quarters until he leaves for the scene
of the battle on Monday next Interest in
the fight is unabated, and as an evidence of
this tho Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, on Thursday night. sent about 10000
words of special dispatches, not including
the regular associated press reports
GOV. LowREY BOUND To STOP IT.
The Picqyltne's Jackson (Miss.) special
says: "Gov. Lowry has sent the following
telegram to all the sheriffs on the southern
border of Mississippi where it is posi-
BILE for the Sullivan Kilrain fight to
take place: DO not allow prize
fight to take place in your county. Take
steps to be at the state line, if necessary,
on both the Northeastern and Louisville
railroad. Send reliable men to New
Orleans to telegraph you on what road and
what moment the excursion starts. If
your force is any distance from telegraph
office have relays TO give yOu informa-
tion. If you wish, | will have
armed troops at easy distance from you

the parties. II the fight takes place on Mis-
sissippi soil | will pay 81 900 for the arrest

sheriff of the county of its occurrence The
payment of this reward applies to officers
as well as their men.I REPLY at myexpense" 5"
AGov. Lowry asserts that he is determined
not to allow the fight to take place on Mis-
sissippi soil, no matter what effort is re-
quIred in the way of money and troops
Sullivan's friends are jubilant over his
condition and predict an easy victory.
Betting is ten to seven in Sullivans favor.
When Kilrain and his crowd arrive, how
ever, there may be change.
KnRAIN ON THE ROAD.
| CINCINNATI, O., July 5-I&ilrain and
his party left this morning on the regular
train for New Orleans on the Queen and
Crescent route. A party assembled at the
passenger station TO see them off. Kilrain
arrived early and was very animated in his
talk concerning the report printed in a
morning paper that he had yesterday in
|
his party at a saloon, and never decreased
the size of his glass. He said it
was mean lie, intended to
injure him in the estimation of his friends
in the east. He declared that he was III ex-
cellent condition, and that he had not been
1 fairly treated in this Sullivan town, but
that they would all hurrah for him after
he had whipped Sullivan, as he proposed TO
do. The other members of the party denied
the drinking story except, that on tho as
surance of DR.. Wainwright that it would
do him good Kairain did drink one glass
of beer. The party was much troubled this
morning by the appearance in the car Of a
somewhat well-known Ohio detective. A
notion seized them that he was going 10
ride with them to Mississippi and there
make an arrest in the hope of getting a
reward They questioned him and found
him pretending ignorance Of the presence
of the Kiirain party, but he afterward said
he was only going to Leadington to arrest
a man. The party cheered loudly as the
train moved out, and faint response came
from the spectators
NORRIS STILL on THE TRAIN.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July 5.--The Kill
rain party passed through this city tonight,
en- route to New Orleans. Detective Norris
of Pinkerton's force was on the train, and
the impression prevailed that he is going to
accompany them to Mississippi and arrest
Kilrain, in order to get the reward offered
