JOHNSTON SAYS A WORD.
He Thinks John L. Was Fairly De-
feated by Corbett.


NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Charley Johnston,
| the backer of John L. Sullivan, is not
pleased at the statements insinuating foul
play at the recent championship battle
which the big fellow is said to have made.
81 am surprised that John should have
anything further to say regarding his de-
feat" said the Brooklynite. "He was
defeated as fairly as any man ever was,
and these stories of drugging and all that
sort of thing are enough to make an in
telligent man tired. AS a matter of fact,
Sullivan was III better condition to fight
tQat night in the Olympic Club than ever
before in his life. He said so himself
The reason he met defeat was because
he found better man than himself in
front of him. If Sullivan was not fit
how could he have fought an hour and a
half7"
What do you think OF his intention to
take another crack at Corbett? Would
you back him?'
lie is not displaying good Judgment
in talking of another match. The quicker
he abandons that idea the better. People
who did not see the fight have been fill
ing Johns head with strange notions If
he was drugged in New Orleans, won
der what was the matter in France?''

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-Parson Davies is
with Joe Choynski at the Navesink
Highlands. He intends to remain with
the Californian until the latter finishes
his training for the contest of October
3lst. In the opinion of the astute pugilis-
tic manager, this contest is to be one of
the most interesting that has ever taken
place in this vicinity. Godfrey is a
very clever fellow" said the parson,
and he can hit pretty hard. Still, he will
find in Joe d man certainly clever and
whose hitting powers are wonderful, I
expect Peter Jackson over on the 18th of
this month"
''Does Jackson intend to challenge Cor
bett?''
jackson never challenges anybody
was Davies reply. "While he will ask
for match with the present champion.
/ do not think he will try to force Cor
bett through the newspapers. While
Corbett really owes him return match,
I don't think Peter will chase after it, if
he finds the champion does not care to
meet him in the ring"

morning four prisoners William Cosky.

House Of Correction by climbing tbrouob
a hole in the roof and lowering them
selves to the ground by means of a rome
made out of thick blankets, which had
been cut in strips. The prisoners were
acting as TRUSTEES and had the freedom of
the whole place.

some little time TO cut through the roof,
and each prisoner put in his spare time
10 make an opening whenever he had an
opportunity. Yesterday the job was
completed and the hour for escape was
liked early this morning. There was no
hitch IN the programme and it was nearly

establishment.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-The death of John NJ.
Moan, Sioux City millionaire, in
drink-cure establishment in this city,
brings to light an interesting tale, all the
more curious in connection with the
circumstances of his death. Ten years
ago he was moneyless employe in the
West Chicago Street Railway shops. He
accumulated little property later in the
beer bottling business, and then, in the
hight Of the prohibition agitation. re-
moved to Sioux City, purchasing for a
nominal sum $50 acres of land on the Ne
bras ka side of the Missouri River, to
which he built a pontoon bridge. \ town
OF 5000 inhabitants sprang up as if by
magic, and the bridge tolls of % cents a
head charged to Iowans for crossing over
to Nebraska, where liquor could be had,
proved veritable bonanza. Moan's rel
atives deny that he was being treated for
the drink habit, saying he was suffering
from nervous exhaustion, and was given
an overdose of chloral. DR.. Lucas de-
clares ne died from alcoholism.

Pago was revived, and Congress appro-

coaling station. 1t was necessary to ac-
quire twenty-five acres needed Tor the
station, but it was found there were nu-
merous claimants, and to save contro-
yersy and time, the Government was
obliged to buy all adverse claims, paving
$1,000 for them. The remainder of the
appropriation is to be applied to the pur-
chase Of lands adjoining the station
proper for a garrison that may eventually
be quartered at the station. The remain
ing funds will be applied to the construc-
ton of a landing wharf, the plans of
which have recently been completed.
