THE CROWDS sYMPATHIEs
Pretty Evenly Divided Between
the Two GIadiators.

the Two Gladiators.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. THE crowd
appeared to be pretty evenly divided in
its sympathies. Both men had plenty
of friends, but it would have been diff
cult to determine which man was the
favorite from anything that could be
gathered in the arena before the boxers
made their appearance.
There was no betting allowed by the
club, and therefore those who had
strong preferences which they were
willing to support with their money
had no opportunity of making any IN
veStments except in the most secret
say that, as far as betting men
were concerned, Sullivan was the
favorite at odds of about 2 to l, although
those who looked purely at form. as far
as known through the public records Of
the men, failed to see why the "Uig tel
low" should be selected as an infallible
winner.
1t was true that Sullivan had won
derful record for knocking out men all
over the country. hut it was argued that
very few of these had been
Men of Any Account.
This was undoubtedly true to some
extent, but the fact remains that he has
met Kilrain when the Baltimorean was
unquestionably at his best, and that
after one of the longest and hardest
fights on record.
1t was true that Kilrain was Won
derfully good man that day, but the cir
crmstQiceS under which they fought
We're an against the men. They were
fighting in almost mOmentary eXpecta-
ton of arrest on criminal charge, and
it is now very well understood that each
party fully expected that the other con-
templated foul play, in which some OF
the most desperate men in the country
were expected to take prominent part.
In addition to all this. they fought for
ever two hours in the brOiling sun, while
the mercury stood at 10 deg Fahrenheit
the greater part of the time. While the
battle was in progress strong men were
falling fainting with the intense heat
though they had nothing to do only to
sit still and watch the pugilistS putting
forth the most violent eXertiOnS OF which
they were capable.
Rarely EquaIed.
Such an exhibition of strength, pluck
and endurance has rarely been seen by
any men in any country, and when it is
remembered that at the end of the fight
Sullivan was an easy victor it is not sur
prising that he should be regarded by
those who saw him pass through that
terrible ordeal as practically invincible
1t is true that Kilrain never appeared
to be the same man afterward, and at
his time of lite it is hardly to be sup
posed that he will do much to regain his
lost prestige and physical vigor.
Sullivan, on the other hand, had
never shown any symptoms of having
inf i'm It1lt O.
that famous struggle, and, as he was
fresh and strong at the end of the con-
test, it is reasonable to assume that he
was IN no way injured by it.
Much stress was also laid on the re-
ports of Sullivan's dissipated habits,
but, as was also remembered, such re-
ports had been widely circulated re-
garding Sullivan prior to his fight with
Kilraln, and yet no man ever entered
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-09-08

hows of men frantic with JOY over a
great triumph, and had raised his head
proudly 10 acknowledge the homage
thus paid him.
But now he could not raise his head.
The flaring, dazzling lights whirled
wildly about him. and he seemed to be
in the vortex of vast whirlpool lined
with shrieking humanity, spangIed with
glancing lights, dazzling and binding
as the sun at monday. And those deaf
ening shouts that fell upon his ear, as
if they would drown the roar of Mag
ara, were so harsh, hateful and dis
cordant.

A COLOSSUS.
Su,livan's Appearance One of
Euggedness, instead OF beauty.

kuggeOOeSS, instead OF bcSuty.
New ORLEANS, Sept. Z. In the Op
posite corner OF the ring sat another
figure, which, though massive, power
full and muscular, presented strange
contrast with the form just described.
This was grandly imposing shape;
but no time had been wasted by Nature
in Ornamenting it. Compared with the
snow-white staute that Corbett looked
unde the electric light, Sullivan looked
like one of the heroic works of the old
masters compared with those of the
later-day reaiiSt.
He was grand and imposing in effect,
though faulty in minute detail. lie was
a symmetrical whole, but rough in exc
cution, as though the grand conception
of the designer had scOrned to
De hampered and fettered by petty
rules and small details. His was fig-
ure to enforce the admiration of the
artist and contemptuously disregard the
small carping of the petty critic.
A head of fair proportions, face
which. while not handsome, had still
look that was far from unpleasant, big,
bright blue eyes, a short, massive and
powerful neck, which sustained lower
jaw that betOkened the stubborn
Courage of a Bulldog,
and then came the feature of Sullivan'S
makeup that must always be regarded
as the most striking.
Here are to be found the chest and
shoulders of a giant attached to the re-
naming portions of large, powerful
and wel-developed man. The arms
and hands appeared to belong to the
same mould as the enormous trunk, but
while the legs were powerful, the hips
seemed to be out OF harmony with that
tremendous section from the ears to the
hips.
AS the sturdy giant stood up in his
corner. those muscular and Shapely legs
by themselves looked strong enough TO
support the most gigantic frame, but
when the eye ranged up to that great
chest, arms and shoulders it was at
once impressed strongly with the idea
of very pronounced disproportiOps. The
limbs. strong as they are, did not ap-
pear to possess enough OF weight to SuS-
tain the tremendous shock of the recoil
from one of those terrific blows, such as
might be expected of that rugged
mountain of bone, muscle and Sinew
surmOunting them.
The evidences Of enormous power
seem to be out of all proportion to Sui
livan'S lower eXtrimetie5. though they,
III the close contact, looked TO be sutfi-
ciently strong to carry the trunk of any
250-pOund man of ordinary form.
A look Of Power.
There is look OF power about Sui
livan. however, that is absolutely Col
lQSsean. This look of power was not
confined to the arms, shoulders and

AN IDEAL ATHLETE.
Corbett Presented Perfect Phys
iCal ADnearance

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Tt may well
be questioned If such giants ever faced
the scratch In a prize ring. Certainly
neither of these had ever gazed upon
such a formidabIe-looking antagonist.
Both were splendid specimens of phys
ical development. but they were as
unlike as Apollo and Hercules.
Beautiful i'll every outline, from neck
to his heels, Corbett looked the ideal
athlete cut in the whitest marble in
heroic proportions. The sealching blue
white rays OF the great electric light
seemed to chill the least trace of color
from his naturally white skin. 1t had
not even the warmth of ivory white, but
rather the pale tint of pure Parian
marble,
But In spite of this rare delicacy of
hue there was no dellcacy of form. A
large, well-formed head and pleasing
face, suggestive rather of the tragedian
than the pugilist, but with the firip-set
jaw and an eye such would have served
the gladiator of 1900 years ago, the
knight of the middle ages or the dashing

From the broad base of the tower

An Afflicted Family.

The family of Mr.. B. G. Google, of
Riyesville, has been sorely afflicted
oflate. About the first Of Novem-
Der the dread desease diphtheria
broke out in the family, which at
that time consisted CT the parents
and six children. The first death
was Oracle, girl of about thirteen
years of age, which occurred on the
8th of November. Next was Earl, a
bright boy of about 5 years of age,
who died on the %. On the follow
ing Wednesday Blanche, aged about
seven years died, and on last Mon
day John, w, the oldest son, aged
about seventeen years, passed away.
The oldest daughter WAS attacked
with the disease but has now about
recovered. The baby has not had
the disease. The deep suffering of
those unfortunate parents can only
be imagined. 1t tears out the very
heart strings to lose one child and
often it casts a pail over our lives
that even time cannot lift, but what
must be the suffering and anguish
when one after another are taken
away. The deepest sympathy of
every parent goes out 20 these afflict-
ed ones.
This disease is prevailing to such
an extent that the schools closed
there on last Tuesday. We also
understand that the children of S.
w. Satterfeld are suffering with it,
and hope that the attack may be

Mr.. G. $. Rogers, a view of Morgan
town from Keck's Hill looking east.
1t discloses one Of the most beautiful
landscapes the eve of man ever look
ed upon. On the extreme left of the
picture are the University grounds
and buildings; in the central portion
is the town proper; on the right is a
portion of South Morgantown with
Chancery Hill above and Greenmont
beyond. The hills south and east
of the town form the principal back
ground, while Chestnut Ridge, ten
miles away, visible through the break
made by the Deeker's Ridge gap,
forms the extreme background. In
the foreground is the picturesque
Monongahela spanned by the suspen-
sion bridge. The whole effect of the
picture is striking. Even the shad-
ows cast by bridge towers, structures
and trees along the east bank of the
river are reproduced 1t was an
idea of Col. Fast, General Manager

has been undertaken in West Vir-

says Black Diamond, is now being
negotiated in Monongalia county
e. L. Parker d Co., haze in the past
two years succeeded in taking
options in 5000 acres of the finest
coal land in Monongalia county, ~
ing chiefly along Dents run, a
branch of the Monongahela river
These options have been offered to
New York syndicate, which has
had an expert opinion prepared con-
corning the value Of the land. This
opinion WIS very satisfactory, and il
is stat tnat the options will be
taken ag soon as the accuracy of the
records can be verified. An import
ant matter in connection with the
deal is the fact that this land will
be valueless for mining purposes un-
less branch line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which has been sur
veyed from the main line in the Con
nellsville region to Morgantown, W.
Va, is constructed. The fact that
the options have been disposed 81
gives considerable color to the re
