Mass-A Reception-Retires Early.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. AT 8 O'Clock
this morning the Sullivan special stopped
at the end of its journey beside the plat
form of a freight shed two miles from the
center. The morning stiffness was soon
broken by a caravan of empty hacks
rumbling over the platform before the
freight shed. John L. Sullivan was duly
awakened and dressed, and shortly after
the train had stopped he stepped from the
car for the first time since he entered it
Thursday afternoon at Weehswken. The
champion, Charley johnson and Phil
Casey, and Jimmy wakely were shown
into a carriage by the Olympic
Athletic club officials, and was
driven rapidly along the silent streets
to three-story building on
Rampant street. The occupants of the car
riage passed into the house and upstairs to
three suites of apartments reserved for the
Sullivan party. The house is directly op-
posite the Young Mems gymnasium. The
champion at once took bath and was
rubbed Down briskly by Morgan and Ash
ton, who had followed from the train. A
hearty breakfast was served, after which
Sullivan attended mass. After his return
there was rest until dinner time. AS the
tidipgs of the champions arrival spread
abroad idlers gathered in the street
about Sullivsn's quarters. Finally, as
the thropg increased, two police
men were detailed to stand in
front of the house and the idlers were
driven off the block. This afternoon Sui
ivan and his trainers crossed the street to
the gymnasium. John L. was warmly
banged 1t right and left until tho specta-
tors cheered. Then in dripping perspir-
alton Sullivan skipped the rope 400 times
He was then rubbed down with brush and
towel. Then came the cold shower and re-
drying and re-dressing. After this John
L. and his friends held little reception,
going then across the street to psrtake of
supper. The evening was quietly spent.
The champion retired very early.

about and gazed at him. After visit to
the State Social club Corbett went to a
hotel for dinner. This evening he took

vERMONT,s ELECTION.

Three State Tickets bidding for the
suffrage OF the Citizens-Republica
Victory Regarded as Certain.
RUTLAND, VI, September 4.-Tuesday
this state elects state officers. The demo
Gratis, republicans and prohibitionists have
tickets in the field, but as there is a stiff
prohibition plank in the republican plat
form it is not likely chat the prohibition
candidate will get any considerable vote.
Popular interest in the campaign has been
reported light everywhere. Fuller, the
republican candidate for governor, is not
generally regarded as strong candidate,
but the republicans talk of probable
majority for him running all the way from
Is, 600 to 10000. If it falls much below
%, 900 the republicans will charge the loss
to the personal and other local causes. OF
course all the republican state ticket will
be elected and SO will, doubtless, al
county officers. The senate is pretty sure
to be solidly republican while the houss
will have republican majority of four oil
five to one.

Last Evening person, giving the name
of Tom Smith. called up Chief of Police
Francis and asked him to 90 out to a Ger
tain saloon in the Tenth ward. at which
place he would find Officer Maxwell S.
Mahoney drunk.
The chief knew the assertion to be
false as Mahoney had only been relieved
from duty and left the City Hall few
minutes before the receipt of the mes
sage He also knew that the Democra-
tic officer had always been a most steady
and efficient policeman.
He.called up the telephone exchange
and asked the operator the number with
which he had been connected The
operator informed him that it was No.

Chief Francis determined to ferret out
the matter He went out to 104 Frank
lin street and found officer Mahoney sit
ting on the front step Of his home, smolt-
ing his pipe and as sober as a
judge The chief informed the
officer of the telephone charge and
advised him to look the matter
up. Officer Mahoney was a very mad
man. He girded up his loins, so to speak,
and went to Hession's office. By per
severence he ascertained that the man
who sent the message was Patrick

REFERRING to the scarcity Of iron
plate at New Castle and ascribing the
shutdown of the mills there, for repairs,
TO the Homestead ock-out, the Milford
Chronicle says
Even the workingmen and their
families in Delaware have to suffer for
the lawless acts of strikers in the iron
mills of Pennsylvania.
Thus the far-reaching effects Of this
senseless strike compel honest and con
tented laboring men and their families
TO taste the bitterness of enforced idle
ness-and all because these striking iron
workers in Pennsylvania win neither
work themselves or permit others TO do
so.
The sympathy Of the Republican editor
is always Abnormal and likely to be as far
wrong in one direction as in the other.
On August LIST an EVENING JOURNAL re-
porter published an interview with one
of the chief officials Of the mills referred
to, Republican, who said
The difficulties in Pennsylvania, have
nothing TO do with the Delaware Iron
Works The mills at Homestead manufac-
ture steel armor plate and similar goods,
while we make iron pipe and flues. We
will not be able to resume before next
Monday week, as dullness in the iron
trade, which always comes in torrid
weather, has made sheet iron scarce.
Strikes are evils but Republican
should not condemn them and still uphold
the protective, restrictive, blockade.
commercially policy of the prohibitive
tariff They assist the policy of making
things scarce and dear The working
men, according to the protective theory
should not care any more whether tn,
iron workers of Delaware have mate
rial or wages than they care
that the steel rails they make
cost the country $50, OOO,O 600 per annun
more than the normal price on account o.
the bonus we pay to keep their paupei
industry going. If it is wrong to stol
work because that stops supplies Of raw
material to workmen in Delaware, it il
wrong to make material scarce and dear
so that Delaware is compelled to pa,
more for IT, There is only difference il
degree.
