1T WAS \ DRAW.
The Kilrain-O'Donnen MiII-John l..
Was On Hand

The Kilrain-ODonnen MilI-John l..
Was On Hand
Boston, Mass, March 1s.--In the pres
ence of 1000 people tonight. Jake kilrain
of Baltimore and Steve O'Donnell of Aus
tralia fought eight rounds and at the
close Patsy Shepard, the referee, amid
shouts of "Kilrain," declared the contest
n draw. While the referee was making
his mind up, John l.. Sullivan, who sat
just outside the ropes close by Kllrain's
corner, mounted n chair and, waving his
tile, demanded a decision. When a draw
was announced he sprang into the
arena and rushed toward O'Donnell's
corner. Two of the seconds grabbed
him by the arms and turned him aside.
Then he clasped hands with Kllrain in
apparent congratulation and swinging his
arms showed the latter how the fight
might have been won. He was ready, ne
declared, TO challenge the winner if the
referee had only named one. The ex-
champion was finally led off by his friends
and the scene which caused the widest
excitement ended. 1t took Referee
Shepard five minutes to make up his
mind what decision to make. Kllrain had
the best of the last round and at times
it looked as if he was going
to put O'Donnell out. He hal not the
force, however, but his old time pluck as
serted itself and with wild rushes he
dazed the Australian boy, who had heen
smiling confidently for seven rounds, and
had landed at will upon the face of Kill
rain. O'Donneu was the cleverer in the
leads. In the first round he floored XII
rain and in the second he also had him 10
the floor, but his blows seemed to lack
force. KIlrain did very effective work.

FOR sAvANNAHs EXHIBIT.
Assignment of space for IL in the
transportation building.

transportation building.
Atlanta Ga. Aug 15.-The industrial
committee Of Savannah was to-day grant
ed over 500 square feet Of space in the
transportation building for the exhibit Of
the city OF Savannah at the Cotton States
and International Exposition. The space
is the finest that has been granted to any
city and affords Savannah an opportunity
to make a display equal TO the ambition
Of the most enthusiastic advocate OF the
undertaking.
Capt. u. G.. Purse, representing the in
dustrial committee, reached Atlanta this
morning. He was one of the early callers
at exposition headquarters, and with
true Savannah spirit soon had things his
own way with the space committee. The
exposition officials were delighted with
the prospect of having Savannah repre-
scented and were ready to give Capt Purse
the very best they had TO help make the
exhibit a success.
Capt. Purse selected the location offer
ed at the north end of the transportation
building. This space covers an area u
ll6xis feet. taking up the entire end of the
building which is one OF the largest and
most important on the grounds. The Sa-
vannah space is in the nature of balcony
with space underneath, il having been
assigned for other exhibits. but it is all
the better, Capt. Purse says, for this fact.
The location faces the main entrance to
the building and will be the first thing to
attract the attention of visitors when they
enter. The railroads will deliver passen-
gers right at the doors of the transpor-
tation building. which will virtually throw
the crowd into this building at the start
which makes IL most desirable location.
Capt. Purse will leave for Savannah to-
morrow. After inspecting the space him
self this morning he took Editor Stovail
and Mr.. J. c. Shaw. whom he happened
TO meet here, out to see it. They express
ed satisfaction at the selection.

this afternoon. TO stand trial in sensa-
tional case the salient feature of which
IS a mock marriage by which ne succeeded
in victimizing the pretty 17-year-old
daughter Of Mrs. Annie wingett. as esti-
mable widow
While held by the courts TO answer the
consequences Of the alleged mock mar
rage, Mitchelrs trouble involves the hap
piness Of a legitimate bride 10 whom he
was welded according 10 the regular form
OF law, when 1t became evident that the
cheat he is alleged to have practiced upon
his unsuspecting victim was about TO be
exposed
Mrs wingett and her pretty daughter,
Mary. with grown son, lived next door
10 Mitchell's boarding place on Luckie
street In the course Of events, Mitchell
and Mary became very friendly and this
friendship soon ripened into warmer
Infection Finally, they became engaged.
Mitchell asked Mrs. Wingett for the hand
of her daughter, so she claims, but was
refused According TO the girl story, on
Memorial day. April d. 1884 she and Mitch
ell went 10 the house Of a Mrs. Carson, on
Forsyth street. for the purpose OF secret
~ marrying At this house a man. who
represented himself as DR.. Robbins.

mOny was performed and duly witnessed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Carson and a Mr. VIII

wife of Mitchell For a short time the
marriage was kept a secret from Mary's
mother and brother. but finally they were
apprised of the fact. Mitchell was sick
and on this account was unable to support
his supposed wife, so he remained with
his people Mrs. Wingett removed to
Greenville, taking her son and daughter
with her. A child was born unto Mary
and when she wrote Mitchell of its birth,
he answered, signing himself your low
ing husband"
Recently Frank Wingett, brother OF
Mary, heard accidentally that Mitchell
had married another girl. The report
finally reached Mary and Frustrated her.
She grew worse until a short time ago it
was found necessary 10 take her to the
Grady hospital. An examination of the
records IN the ordinary's office showed
that Mitchell had really married Miss
Cora Penn, and that the record nowhere
showed evidence Of his marriage to Miss
Wingett. The mock ceremony was then
exposed and the facts laid before the po-
lice, who arrested Mitchell al his home on
Eads street, where he had set up house
keeping with his wife. Mitchell denies
the mock marriage.
