SULLIVAN IN FEARFUL SHAPE.
His Face a Sight rha, Few Could Wish
Behold.


LIS Expectations Fuialod
NEW ORLEANS, LA, sept. Slim
Corbett, the champion heavy weight
pugilist OF the world, IS perhaps the
happiest man living to-day He has
succeeded in RELOCATING to the shades
OF oblivion, the heretofore invinciblo
Sullivan, TO whom every man, rich and
poor, alike paid court This achieve
ment makes .him to-day u greater man
in the eyes OF the world than half OF
the monarchs OF Europe. The appar-
cnt case With which the Californian
bosted his opponent has been subject 20
much comment, and many are Inclined
10 the belief that the result would not
have been different II the two mon had
met in the height OF Sulliyaus glory
Immediately after he left his dress
ing room last night, Corbett WAS driven
to mis- boarding house on Chestnut
street and retired at unco, His trainers
thought that little liquor would make
him feel good after his long battle, but
Jim was not OF the Same opinion ana
refused to drink anything,
This morning he arose early, and
with Bill Delaney went over TO thu
Southern Athletic club whore q large
crowd was ON hand TO receive him, and
Tor at least half an hour the champions
time was given up TO receiving CON
gratulatiOns and hand shakes, and
when he finally got away from his
friends he sat down and wrote several
letters, one TO his parents and
another to his WIFE telling them
all about the meeting. Corbctt was in
excellent spirits aud cOnveisad freely
with representative Of the States. lie
said he never felt better in his life, at
no time during tho fight was he weak
or groggy aud the result was just what
he expected. Sullivan WIS great
| fighter, he said, and had wonderful
strength but what he lacked was
science. Bill Delaney chimed in
AZ this point and said with q
/ look OF pride NJ the big Follow
that Sullivan was mot IN IT, at any
stage 81 tell You there was no more
chance OF Sullivan winning that fight
than there is %. my being president Of
the United States. IL wa only due W
| my efforts that the battle lasted as
long a. fl did ] could have mixed with
the B0stonian any time after the first
round and the result would have been
| Sulliyan's early defeat / had hard
work to keep him from it AS he was
! filled with a desire 10 show the people
what he could do, He was so strongly
In favor Of this move that at one time
between rounds / was compelled 10 stOI
tanning and argue the point with him
/ preferred TO take no chances and my
eXpOstulations bore fruit ultimately.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-lSpeciall-The
lie OF Governor Roswell P. Flower was
threatened by an Internal machine sent
to him at the Windsor hotel, this city,
a couple Of days ago. Tho box, which
contained the machine, is now in the
possession of Inspector Steers at police
headquarters, together with the Internal
machine and its mechanical arrange
ments. large number of detectives
here have been put on the case. Every
effort is being made to suppress the fact
that the mysterious box left at the
Windsor hotel contained the deadly
machine and enough giant powder to
nave blown tho Governor into eternity.
The police officials are very reticent
over the affair, but Notwithstanding
this it came out at police headuuarters
that Governor Flowers life had been
threatened, and that an internal ma
chine was in Chief Inspector Steers
possession.
Governor Flower has been stopping at
the Windsor Hotel since he came to the
city to straighten out matters relative
to the cholera cases abroad the steam
ships in the bay, and the trouble that
had arisen between the quarantine
IL,
The governor has had his cholera
headquarters at Windsor. The Internal
machine was left at the hotel Thursday
afternoon. 1t came by mail. 1t was
received at the hotel office and sent to
the governor by the clerk. Governor
Flower had gone away in the morning
to inspect the State oyster beds along
tho sound.
Chief Inspector Steers this afternoon
sont for the reporters at police head
quarters and told Thorn that tho box
sent to Governor Flower was verita-
BILE, unmistakable Internal machine
ingeniously contrived to kill the COVER
nor or whoever might open it. The in
spector added that the box was received
on Wednesday night and before it was
opened there was received an anonymous
letter warning the governor of its char
acter. Adjutant General Porter sent to
police headquarters and the detectives
went to the Windsor Hotel, where the
box was given to them. The detectives
brought it down to police headquarters
and delivered 1t to the inspector, who
put it in pail Of water and left it there
to soak for twenty-five minutes.
In the box was found three Quarters
OF pound of giant powder. A lever
was connected with the cover OF the
box, and when the latter would be
raised three parlor matches fastened to
the lever would be rubbed against
piece OF emery paper on the side OF tho
box and ignited, thus causing an explo-
sion of tho powder. The inspector said
IL the box had been opened as was In
tended an explosion would certainly
have followed. Twenty detectives are
working on the case. In speaking of
the matter Gov. Flower said: This is
the first time anything of the sort has
happened to me- am not at all upset,
however. I suppose have made some
enemies by calling out the militia, but
| must do my duty and peace must be
kept. All the internal machines in tho
world would not make the slightest Diff
ference to me-"

General Stevenson spoke in the audi
forum 10 over u, 900 people. Stevenson's
ancestors were among the signers of the
Mecklenburg declaration OF indepen-.
dence and he referred to this in opening
his remarks. His speech was mainly a
defense of Cleveland's administration
and talk on the tariff and force bill.
All admitted, he said, that Cleveland's
administration was an honest one. The
bonds of the government were paid az
maturity and the only question was
what should be done with the surplus?i
He spoke for an hour on the tariff
alor and concluding said: THE Demo.
cratic party wages no warfare on any
business interest; it favors no legisia-5
ton hostile TO the live interests OF any
business enterprise. We believe that
the burden of taxation should be equally
distributed. We oppose all legislation
that enriches few by taxing many.oi
He reviewed carpet bag rule in North
Carolina and said the force bill meant q
return to the condition Of affairs in the
dark days Of reconstruction.
This was Stevepson's third speech In
the State and his work Is greatly re-;
newiDg Democratic hopes. The circus
was here to day but abandoned its pa
rade to put its band wagon in Steven-
sons recession and postponed its per-i
Torrance until after the speaking. Gem.
eral Stevenson spoke tonight at States
Vile to great crowd and speaks st Eve,
places next week.
