SULLIyarS OVERWHELMING DOWNFALL
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 8-Champicn Jim
Corbett will bid adeu to his New Orleans
friends tomorrow afternoon. The COrbett
people have engaged special train on the
Piedmont Air Line. leaving here Saturday
morning at o'clock. The young pugilist
will receive a rousing send-off notwith-
standing the early hour.
Coreett showed generosity in remark
able manner last night when he sent word
to Sullivan that he would not only spar four
rounds with him at benefit TO be held at
Madison-sqnare Garden September q but
would pay $1,000 for box for the performs
ance.
When Corbett went 10 Sulliyan's corner
and helped him to his chair he held out his
hands with me?" and Sullivan replied ::
Yes. my boy. I'm glad it was you that
won"
There was considerable talk last night of
a serious nature regarding the stake money
on Sullivan and of string to it. 1t is said
that while Charley johnson and Jimmy
Wakely got the credit of being the hackers
of Sullivan, there are good grounds for the
belief that the whole $4,000 was put up by
Percy Rockwell, who has since died, and
there is possibility of the estate suing the
stakeholder to recover the money.
The rumor that Jack McAuliffe lost
SIS. $50 which he won in his fight with Myer.
besides 5000 which he borrowed, on Sulli-
van is false in part, as the money, with the
exception cf $4,000, was not placed, although
McAuliffe told his trainer to do so.

THE PASSENGERS PLEA.
Pathetic Appeal for Relief From the
Ouarantined People.

Pathetic Appeal for Relief From the
Quaraatined People.
NEW YORK, Sept. s. - The following let
ter, written on the Normannia on September
z, was received in this city to-day at the
Office of the Evangelist, from Rev. Daniel
w. Fisher. D.. LID, president of Hauo-
yer College. Indiana:
ION behalf of the cabin passengers of
this ill-fated ship l appeal to you for help.
We are perfectly willing 10 be Quarantined,
but IN the name of humanity and of ciyili-
Zation, not to speak Of Christianity. let the
quarantine be at least national and not bar
barOus. We have not been sick in the
cabin except IN one case, which seems to
have had almost no choleraic symptoms,
and that occurred TWO days ago. We sue
ceeded in getting the steerage away, but the
crew cannot be removed. The ship must
have them aboard Under these circum-
stances we scarcely dare hope that ulti-
mately we shall escape.
AT any rate, when can such quarantine
end? Think of the children, the women
and the feeble persons. That any set of
men, even criminals, should be left to wear
out the danger OF cholera in this fashion is
mOnstrous. The whole system is wrong to
anchor a ship out as far at sea as possible
and let the disease do what it can.' If any
set OF people IN any other situation were en-
during such peril as ours, millions of voices
would be raised to rescue them lthout
days delay. Why are we unworthy help,
situated as we are? Surely not because
help is impossible. Put us on another YES
sci. Land us at some safe point on the
shore, and seclude US to any extent; but for
Gods sake do not perpetuate this barbar-
ism on us here for day longer. Try to help
us at once. Yours very truly.
d. W. FISHER.
'P. s. Why are we on ship? Because
the agent of the company in London assured
almost every passenger who embarked at
SOutham pton that there were no steerage
passengers on this trip. Sons OF US have
his written statement that the ship sailed
from Hamburg without any steerage."

HEAVY LOSERS.
The New York Contingent Bet on the
Wrong Man.


Wrong Man.
New ORLEANS, Sept. S-The biggest
loser of the day. as far as can be ascer-
tanned, is John Kelly of New York, the ex-
baseball umpire. who backed the great
champion of champions for so, 900. II
there was ever crestfallen crowd of sport
ing people 1t IS the Manhattan Club con-
tingent from New York. They came here full
of enthusiasm fer Sullivan, aud staked
their money on the issue. They came on a
special train and counted on making it a
banner train from New Orleans TO New
York, and Mr.. Blake of the Manhattan
claimed Yesterday afternoon that they had
bought up all the red. white and blue lights
to be found in New Orleans, and they In
tended setting them of all along the road
on the way home.
"Parson" Davies. who won large
amount Of money oD COrbett will issue a
challenge iD few days in behalf Of Peter
Jackson, to fight Jim CoTbett for such sum
as he will then name, or that can be agreed
upon, and the largest purse offered.
Delaney thinks Sullivan could have been
whipped at any time after the first round,
but he advised COrbett to be slow, and Cor
bett followed his advice. although he did it
with reluctance, desiring TO show the crowd
what he could do.
"COrbett will never meet Jackson again" I"
said Delaney. "We are against fighting
negroes any more. Besides Corbett has
met Jackson already and nothing is to be
gained by fighting again. We viii pay no
attention to Mitchell, and for the prese mt
will ignore all challenges. We have en-
gagements very far ahead"

NEW ORLEANS, Sept S.-Sullivan was

Associated Press correspondent was ad-
mitted to his apartment. His face was so
swollen that the skin, drawn tightly, shone
where the light fell upon il. His lips we're
disfgured and distorted. giving his face a
hideous fantastic appearance. The nose,
though not broken. was terribly bruised, be-
ing cut from the bridge down al the center
and on the left side. The man of extreme
confidence yesterday was to-day beaten
down aud disfgured, giving evidence that
new god had sprung up in pugilism.

would be. Corbett will join the travelling
troupe, with which he has been exhibiting

benefit to Sullivan Is being projected to
take place at New York. C0rbett has
offered $1,000 for box.
The exodus of the talent from town has
begun-that is. those who are solvent. The
fact that there are not more financially re-
duced is owing to the absence of Corbett
money before the fight. Corbett this morn
ing WAS exuberantly merry. receiving much
attention from the members of the athletic
clubs of the city and the talent. kilograms

NEW ORLEANS. Sept SIT trans spires
that Sullivan. after his defeat last night,
began undoing all the careful work of train

doing for weeks past. Defeat and chagrin,
coupled with the absence then of any mo-

led the man to resume his convlyal
habits. Many others with him were drink

His deep sleep this morning was the result
of his potati0ns. When he awakened this
morning he was taken over to the Gymna-
sinm Club aud kept there until such time
when he could go with his people to the
train ON which the homeward journey was
to begin at $3.50.
The great giant presented pitiable spec
tacle. The cut on his nose had closed, but
his eyes were blacked and his whole face
swollen terribly. While he tried to smoke
the sodden butt Of cigar. he talked In
maudlin voice on his downfall He said
that which in bis sober quiet he would not re-
iterate, and which In his present condition
may not be put on record as his deliberate
views. Sullivan lays the greatest stress ON
the fact that he could not reach Corbett.
"But did not run away" the big fellow
almost sobbed. Lock us up In room
just lock me in room with him and see
what could do with him. But, he licked
me. Yes, he did. He licked me, and let 1t

Let him take care OF IL as good
as / did. That's sll. ! amt kicking"
And so he rambled on, did the defeated
champion. After while lie went to lie
down in tho club house and fell asleep.
Sullivan was kept in seclusion at the Gym
