O'DONNELL DOES UP KILRAIN.
The Knock out BLOW Given in the
Twenty-frst Round.

Seaside Athletic Club. Coney Island, N
Y, May 6-Fully 1900 persons journeyed
TO the arena here tonight TO see the 25-
round contest between Steve O'Donnel,
who has gained notoriety as Champion
Jim Corbett's sparring partner. and Jake
kilrain, the Baltimorean. who was shin
ing light in the prize ring five years or
more ago.
The announcement that Corbett would
be in O'Donnelrs corner and that John L.
Sullivan would second kilrain, probably
had some effect on the attendance, which
was the largest seen at a fight here since
the days when John Y. McKane was all
powerful and the recognized "czar'' of
this seaside resort.
Neither Sullivan nor Corbett put in an
appearance, however. The disappoint-
ment Of the crowd over the failure of the
two big pugilists was soon forgotten when
O'Donnell and Kilrain entered the ring.
1t was a 25-round contest at catch
weights. O'Donneu weighed $50 pounds,
and was seconded by Billy Delaney, John
McVey. Mick Dunn, Benny Murphy and
Young Griffo. Jake Kilrain weighed 2lO
pounds. His seconds were Ernie Geb-
hardt Al Herlord and Billy Duke, all of
balthmore. When the men faced each
other in the ring Kilrain looked fat.
IL was vicious night from the first
round to the last. In the first round,
kilrain brought ODonnell TO his knees
by blow on the eye and drew blood at
the same time. Hard blows were eX-
changed in every round, but 1t was not
until the eighth round that blood showed
on Kilrain's nose. Kilrain was puffine
hard by this time and by the twelfth round
many of the spectators began to leave
the building feeling satisfied that il was

ram blows, when he did land them,
lacked force, but O'Donnel was maklne
a chopping block of Kilrain. The lat
ter was game, however, to stand punish
ment, although he could do little harm in
return. In the twenty-first round O'Don-
nell got In one on KilTain's jaw ana
knowed him down and out in one min
gered to HIS feet. but the referee stopped
the bout and awarded 1t to O'Donnel as
matter of mercy. Had he not done so
the police would have stopped it,

NEW ORLEANS DARK TRAGEDY.

Saturday Next Fixed as the Time For
His TrIaI-Mrs. Swain Calls ON Her
Husband at the Police station and
the Meeting Borders ON the Affect
iOnate-She Justifies Him in Kill
ing DIR. Hirinrt.
New Orleans, May 6.-Dr. S. p. Swain,
who killed DR.. Emile Hiriart yesterday.
was brought before Judge Whitaker of
the first recorders court this morning
charged with murder. to which charge he
pleaded not guilty. His counsel asked for
an early trial and it was fixed for next
Saturday, May II. Judge Whitaker would
not accept bail.
The prisoner is a man with many
friends, as was evidenced this morning
by the groups Of men who called on him.
Full particulars of the tragedy reached
Plaquemine, the home of the principals,
and trains reaching here last night and
this morning bore many friends of Dr.
Swain. They state that the little city
is greatly excited over the affair and
that public sympathy is with the pris-
oner. Dr. SWANS friends say that they
will allow nothing to be undone to ger
the accused released from prison IN due
time. Their first act was to call on the
prisoner end approve his course and to
offer assistance
From some Of the Plaquemlne peo-
pie 1t was learned that when DR.. Swalu's
eyes We're opened to his wife's intimacy
with Or. Hiriart he accused her OF be-
ing unfaithtul and left her, going to live
win ms mother. The same day Mrs.
SWAIN attempted to commit suicide by
jumping into well at her home, but her
dress caught on a nail and she was taken
out half frozen. a reconciliation fol-
lowed and nothing more was heard OF
the matter until the husband and DR..
Hiriart met on March % 1t is said that
Dr. Swain Waylaid Dr. Hiriart and fired
az him three times with a shotgun. He
also nred number of times al DR.. Hir-
lart with a pistol. The latter returned
the fire. From that time the men avoid
ed each other and did not meet until yes
terday, when the tragedy was enacted.
yesterday after Mrs. SWANS arrival at
the police station, she requested to be al
lowed TO see her husband and their meet
ing was cordial and bOrdered on the af-
night together In the cell, but Sergeant
Boyle would not consent. The woman was
very cool all during the evening and did
not seem to realize that II was she who
had caused the death of DIR. Hiriart and
the incarceration OF her husband on a
charge of murder. She admitted that her
husband had done the right thing in kill
ing DIR. Hiriart 1t Is said that DR.. Hiriart
was greatly feared by some of the people
of Plaquemine. He Is reputed to have been
crack shot and those who know him
cannot account for his not having killed
DR.. Swain. They accredit it to his excited

MINERS OF THE VIRGINIAs.
The Troops stiu in Readiness, Hut
Their Services Not Needed Yet.

Parkersburg, w. Va. May 6.-Gov. Nc
Corkle reached here this morning at IL
o'clock en- route east. His information
from the coal regions yesterday indicated
that everything passed off quietly. The
great miners meeting proving a dismal
failure, less than 1,000 striking, and less
than dozen joining the union.
Regarding the action of the governor
in Offering to send Virginia troops into
the state, Gov. McCorkle said that he had
notified that official that under no cir
cumstances could he allow Virginia troops
to exercise military functions upon West
Virginia soil He was prepared with very
few hours notice to have the entire national
guard of this state at the scene of the
trouble
Pocahontas, Va, May 6.-The situation
in the coal field strike is decidedly more
complicated to-day than at any time since
the struggle began. The mines here, the
only ones not affected last week, are Sc
riously crippled to-day, at least IS per
cent. of the men being out. The strikers
in the Elkhorn region have been using all
their energy to bring out the miners here,
and there success yesterday and to-day is
undoubtedly a great victory for the strik-
ers throughout the region, as 1t practi-
cally stops the mining of coal In Flat Top.
The Southwest Virginia Improvement
Company will probably endeaVor to Sc
cure new men, and il is evident that such
men will need armed protection. The sit
uation is critical and uncertain. The
troops have been ordered from Graham to
Pocahontas.
Bluefield, w Va, May 6-About 275 of
the miners employed at the Southwest
Virginia Company's mines at Pocahontas
refused to go to work this morning and
are joining the United Mine Workers.
There is an increased excitement ana the
strikers appear more confident. The
Southwest Company's mines are working
and are amply protected.
At noon nearly all the miners at Poca-
hontas came out making the shut down
practically complete.

Columbia, $. c., May 6.-There was a
big sensation at the very outset OF the

thorities utterly disregarded the order of

to appear before him at 10 o'clock to-mor-

may not be attached and punished for con-

Attorney General Townsend then made
the first argument for the state. Mr..
Townsend was interrupted by the judges
and attorneys on the other side all tho

tions We're propounded TO him that seemed
to stun him.
Or. Pope made a strong argument OF
two hours duration for the complains

monopoly.
He was followed by Mr.. Caldwell for the
complainant, who was more sarcastic
and severe on the representatives of tho
state government than any speaker who
has appeared In any OF the cases. He told
OF how the people had voted by 1900 ma
Jority for prohibition and this dispensary
scheme, this political machine and monop-
oily for revenue only, had been saddled
upon them.

WILDE oUT ON BAIL.
The Government May Decide Not to-
Retry Him.

London, May 6.-Oscar Wilde has sue
ceeded in finding the securities required Of
him by Justice Pollock.
An investigation having confirmed tho
responsibility Of the sureties. Justice Poll
lock has signed an order for Wilde's re-
lease.
Wilde. IT is announced, will be released
from custody tomorrow. He will prob
ably leave London at once for the sea-
side. The statement OF Mr.. G. r. Gin.
counsel for the prosecution, that Wilde
would undoubtedly be retired at the next
session, was made without the authority
Of the public prosecutor. It has not been
decided whether the government will take
steps to have Wilde again placed on trial.
They are willing that he should be again
arraigned, but 1t Is understood that the
heads of the church and many other emf
nent men urge upon the government tho
fact that much harm would be done to
tha public morals by the adoption of such
course, referring to the reprinting Of
all the pernicious details Of the case. In
the meantime the police are ordered not
to maintain too close a watch upon Wildea
movements, and not to prevent him from
going to the continent II he wishes to go
there.
