V 3 t L II He Appears Before a Howl ing Host of His Admir ers in New York. v CONFIDENT OF WINNING, Bnt He Does Kot Underrate the Powers of James J. Corbett. 1 TRIM C- PUFFS AND BLOWS AS OF T0EE At the Close of Each of the Rounds in the Fistic Exhibitions. HE IS STILL TOO FIT TO PLEASE ALL New York, Aug. 2a If ever a man re ceived a hearty welcome it was John L. Sullivan when he arrived at the Flatbush avenue depot, Long Island Railroad, fresh from his training quarters at Canoe Place Inn, near Good Ground. It was John's first appearance in this city since he went down to the lower end of the island to go into training for his great battle with James J. Corbett for the championship of the world, and the crowd were anxious to see what the bis fellow really looked like after his long age of training. The train was half an hour late, but that cut no figure with the enthusiasts, as the crowd kept swelling Ja number, until it took a platoon of policemen to keep a free passage so that the average person could pass through the crowd Indian file. Every available place for a view of the great champion was occupied, even to the lamp posts and supports of the elevated railroad. A happy thought struck some of the long-headed men in the crowd and they gave np five cents for a grand stand position by paying their tare on the Filth avenue elevated road and remaining on the plat form to get a glimpse of Sullivan when he arrived. The Hoar's Hero Hove In Sliht. The big lellow came at last, even though it was suspected that he had skipped the train at some other point. To avoid the crowd Sullivan was hurried through a pri vate exit into the main depot and np the stairs toward the elevated station. As he went through the passage he was followed by the admiring crowd, who cheered him to the echo. When he got around to the street, instead of going upon the train, he shot down on the street and started for his carriage, which was only reached through the assistance of two mounted policemen, who had to ride through the crowd and dis perse it, while the other officers escorted him to the hack. There must have been fullv a thousand persons present. The carriaie was driven rapidly to Phil Caiey's handball court, but Sullivan and Caey had scarcely arrived when the crowd begau to gather, and in a half hour's time there were oOO .people gathered in and around the place. Sullivan was taVen up stairs to a private room where he refused to see anv of his friends. A barber was called in, and the big fellow was sitting on a chair in the middle ot the floor getting shaved when the Associated Press reporter called upon him. His skin was clear and healthy looking, and his general appearance was fine, with the exception of his stomach, which looked a trifle large and soft Grortpil by Scoria or Voic-s. It was a great seething, howling crowd that crushed its av into the Clermont aienue rink in Brooklvn to-night, to wit ness the reception tendered John L. Snlli Tan. As early as 7 o'clock, there was a large gathering at the rnit's doors. The small boy was out in force, had beeu there, in fact, ever since school was let out. Then the horse cars and the elevated roads began to deposit their burdens at the corner. At 7:30 o'clock the string of pedestrians was unbroken. They came three and four abreast lor a while but then they came in battihon. The helmets of the police of ficers bobbed ud everywhere and there was the best of order. The elite of the sporting fraternitv was there to see what Sullivan looked like after his eight weeks of train ing, and to get an idea of what the man was who would carry their hopes and their dol lars at New Orleans. Charlie Johnson, who has allied his hopes to Sullivan's prowess lor so many rears, was the most conspicu ous person in the throng. He was smiling and happy. His looks were those of a man who is looking earnestly forward to success. In the center of the immense rink was pitched the 24-foot ring and around it the multitudes surged. There was an unbroken sea of faces, stretching from the ring away back to the walls and upon the galleries. It was of course a typical fighting crowd. JIany had followed Sullivan through his fighting career and many had seen him win his greatest victories. He is their one star in their heaven of pngilism and they de light to gaze on him. There were half dozen bouts at the beginning, in which some local fighters .showed themselves. The Champion Makes a Speech. Bhortly before 10 o'clock, the man of the evening appeared, and as he emerged Irom the dressing room ncd walked toward the ring, there was pandemonium. Jack Ash ton followed the champion. A great floral harp on which was inscribed "John It Sullivan, Champion of the World," was handed into the ring, and as Sullivan turned and4 bowed to the audience, the howling crew louder. There were cries ot "speech" and then the big fellow said: "I thank you for the hearty applause and appreciation. I believe I have the good will of all the people here this evening, on my last appearance before mv last fight That fight will decide whether I am the John L. Sullivan of old or the John L. Sullivan who has passed by. I am not go ing to speak disparingly of Mr. Corbett All I will say, is that I am most glad to ap pear here. I have deceived you once, but let by gonesbe by gones. I am going to stop FpeaUng now, and vou will next hear from me on September 7." Sullivan's words were punctuated bv the wildest yelling. Then there were snouts tor Phil Casey and that modest gentleman was dragged into the ring. There appeared to be a good deal of flesh on Sullivan as he sat in his corner. His eyes were bright and flashing and his face was hardened and tanned. His shoulders are in splendid con dition and his mnscles show excellently. There appeared, however, to be lots of fat over his stomach and on his" back. It is very strange if he does not weigh in the vicinity of 220 pounds. He perspired verv, freely when he sparred three rounds with' jacK Asmnn, out snowed tfte agility of a cat as he went around the ring. His actions were like lightning. He wore a confident, hardened air that could not be mistaken. He went at Ash ton very hard, tapping him at short inter vals twice with the left and once with the right. Although he only touched his com panion on the neck and shoulders, he was very tired at the end of each round. It was remarked that Sullivan puffed a good deal after the finish of 'the rounds. The The wrinkle of fat over his wpistband heaved In and out to no small degree. Still his admirers leel that he is in prime condi tion. His flesh is well colored and his striking force is as marvelous as ever. His legs are in the best of form. C0RBETT SHOWS UP WELL. He Fascinates a Bis Crowd W 1th Ills' Sci ence A Very Pretty Exhibition of the Sparring Art Ua Makes a Host of New Friend. New Yoke. Aug. 2a Corbett showed bis shapely limbs and muscles to a crowd of 6,000 admirers at Madison Square Garden' again this evening. Every one was enthu siastic over the anpearance of the ex-bank clerk, and loudly aDplauded the man who will attempt to wrest the championshi p laurels Irom JolmL. Sullivan. Many of the "athletic clubs of this city and vicinity were present The crowd was good natured, and cheer fully accepted the slightest entertainment afforded them until Corbett appeared. There were some preliminary bonti to whet the impatience of the audience. It was 10:50 o'clock when Steve O'Dannell, master of ceremonies, introduced Corbett amid great cheers. He was accompanied by John McYay, of Philadelphia, who was to oppose him. The young Californian walked irom his dressing quarters to the ring, while cheer after cheer went up. He sprang lightly np the steps and bowed to the assembled multitude. Corbett wore green stockings, white pants and a green belt Before he had taken his seat three cheers were given for him. Then the crowd in audible criticisms passed on the Cali fornian's condition. Indeed, Corbett did not look as if much werethe -matter with him. There was a very pretty exhibition .of boxing between Corbett and McVay. JIcYay, however, was too beefy and altogether too slow for the star of evening. Things livened up -more in the bont between Corbett and his boxing Eartner, Jim Daly. Though Daly is not eavy enough for Corbett, there was Bome very pretty quick fighting, and Corbett had a chance to show his nimbleness. He is re markably quick, apd his clean science urged the spectators up to a shouting point There is no doubt that, despite his somewhat dis appointing development, Corbett made a host of friends bv his clever methods and his evident splendid condition. The boxing bouts with Corbett over, the crowd dispersed to think the matter over and discuss the value of Corbett'a stock in New Orleans on September 7. 'CYCLE MAKERS COMBINE. The Mannfdrtnrrrs West of the Alteghenlea Tool Their Issues They TV I It Blake a Uniform Scale or Prices bat Will Do No Slashing. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 29. The wheel manufacturers west of the Allegheny Mountains organized the Western Wheel Association to-day. They met at the Bates House, as a continuation of the Cincinnati meeting, and eame here especially to in duce the Standard Wheel Company to join tho association. President Fairbanks, of that company, was not satisfied with the terms offered at Cincinnati, but to-day his requests were for the most part met Officers were elected as follows: Dwight Smith, of Jackson, Mich., President; Jav H. Keith, of Terre Hante, Secretary. The Treasurer will be appointed by the President The organiza tion as it stands controls 95 per cent of the capacity of factories west of the Alleghenies. The Standard Company itself controls 60 per cent of the output of wheels, and it was for this reason its co-operation was essential. Mr. Fairbanks stated to-night that it was not the intention of the association to ac quire ownership of all plants and destroy competition, but, on the contrary, to pro mote competition, both among manufactur ers and the trade, and at the same time protect themselves. He further stated that their purpose was not to raise prices fo any great extent, but to pre vent slashing and' cutting and preserve har mony. The association will control prices. The meeting adjourned early in the after noon, and the members will convene again in Toledo, O., in about three weeks. At this meeting a scale of prices will be adopted BIG FRAUDS UNEARTHED. New York Custom House Officials Find the Gnvrnmnt Hat Lost Lots of Money. Sew Yoek, Aug. 29. SpecUL The in vestigation that has been going on for some time in the surveyors' department of the -New Aork. custom house has unearthed serious frauds accomplished by) under weighing BUgar. The evidence bo far im plicates eight importing houses and a num ber of employes of the weighing depart ment During the eight months from August 1, 1891, to March 1, 1892, when the duty was taken off 'sugar, examination showed that there were about 4,000,000 pounds not ac counted lor, and that the Government had been defrauded to the extent of $65,000 or 575,000. It is plain that during the period named there were systematic and continued frauds in weighing sugar. The examiners did not co back of August, 1891, in their search, because of a curious omission in the law bearing on the case. The old law read that in a suit by the Gov ernment the goods could be recov ered "or the Talue thereof." In the act that went into effect on the date named the clause "or the valne thereof" was omitted, and henoe there could be recovery only of the property. All names were revised to-day at the custom house, but the matter has" been placed in the hands ot the District Attorney. A BUBAL TBAQEDT. How the Brother of n Murdered Hot Wreaked a Terrible Revenge. Savannah, N. T., Aug. 29. The news of a terrible tragedy near Cato, Cayuga county, has been received here, but full particulars cannot be learned to-night It appears that a boy, while cutting bundles for a threshing machine, accidentally cut the feeder's hand, which so infuriated him that he immediately caught up the lad and threw him into the rapidly revolving cylinder, where he was ground to atoms be fore anyone present could raise a hand to prevent The brother of the unfortunate lad wit nessedthe bloody deed, and lost no time In wreaking vengeance upon the murderer. He felled him to the floor with a blow from a pitchfork, and while he lay writhing from the effects thereof the brother repeatedly plunged the tines of the fork through his body, not ceasing until he was dead. All the threshing hands stood by and witnessed the two tragic deaths, which occurred so quickly that they were powerless to inter fere.

The Boys Tap Many Tills and the Girls Go Through Schools, TAKING ALL THAVS K0T NAILED D0WX tBPrCIAL TELEOHAM TO THE DISrJkTCIM New'Tork, Aug. 2a Walter Daly, a mall boy with an innocent face, was sent to the Catholic Protectory to-day, on- com plaint of bis mother. Mrs. Daly did not want him committed, but thought it best to take action against him because the agents of the Garry Society would have had him committed anyway. Then she would have to secure the society's recommendation be fore she could secure his discharge. Those of the family which is a big one who are out of prison lire in a tenement at 848 Columbus avenue. Walter was caught Friday, trying to tap the, till in Anton Eeisman's delicatessen store" on Third aveuue. His brother Richard, 17 years old, was with him, but he escaped. Walter had ?2 21 in his pocket He said that Richard gave the money to him. The police are looking lor Richard. Mr. Reisman declined to prosecute Wal ter, and Agents Moore and Pringle, of the Jerry Socictv, hunted up the lad's record. They say that Walter has eight brothers and sisters, and that those who are old enough have a criminal history. It seems that they inherited a light-fingered tend ency from their lather, John Daly. He is in the penitentiary for a petty theft A Success as a Boy TUI-Tapper. Richard, who, it appears, has been teach ing Walter the art of till-tapping, had a snecessful career as a till-tapper before he was 13 years old. Four years ago he was captured and sent to the protectory. He was discharged a few weeks ago, and re sumed his old trade. He taught his brother Harry how to steal. Harry, who is 14, is in the protectory. The elder brother, Albert, graduated from petty theiving to burglary before he was caught, and thus escaped the protectory. His work brought him to Sing Sing, where he is serving a term lor burglary. Ray, aged 10 years, Frank, aged 9 years, and the baby brother are still with their mother. The girls of the family are more artistic thieves than their brothers. They are Ger trude, aged 19 years, and Mary, aged 20 years. They began their careers as serv ants, bnt never worked longer in one place than it took them to learn the whereabouts of their employers' valuables. Then they would disappear, and money and jewelry would go with them. When people who hired tbem were ordinarily watchful they had to work too long before ther cot a chance to steal. The Girls Go Throne11 Schools. Forthat reason they turned their atten tion to schools. They were mere school girls in appearance and could gain an en trance to the schools without arousing sus picion. They called during the nooi re cess, when the schoolrooms were' abandoned by teachers and pupils, and searched the wardrobes and desks. A dozen or more schools were robbed, and it is said the girls stole $300 worth of clothing and some cash in their raid" on the schools before the hunt for them became so earnest that they had to look about for a new source of revenue. Thereafter both of the girls collected money from charitable people. They said they were looking ,for contributions for the Sacred Heart Convent and found many generous people. "After a while they had to give up this scheme. Mary got work as clerk in J. H. Truesdell's store on West Fourteenth street. She had been there bnt a short time when articles were missed. At last the new clerk was suspected and arrested. She had been hired under the nn.me of Kate Burke. Her identity was 'discovered. The investigation which fol lowed revealed her career as a collector and identified her as the visitor to the scbpols. Disposition of the Girl Thieves. Gertrude was arrested and the sisters were accused of having on November 27 and 29, 1888, stolen nine wraps from class rooms in scnools in West Twenty-fourth street and West Eighteenth street Mary was sent to the House of the Holy Family. There was some little doubt about Ger trude's connection with the thefts and sen tence was suspened in her case. She was in conrtwith her mother to-day. They say they work in a laundry. The society men bad no excuse for even attempting to secure possession of the younger members of the family, bnt it will watch them closely to prevent them follow ing their brothers' footsteps. They might have been committed to institution's, but as the society learned nothing against the mother it decided to allow her to keep her children. NO SLATE FOR THEM. Grand Lodge Officers Elected Under Ex- citing Circumstances. Cleveland, O., Aug. 29. The session of the Grand Lodge, Jewish order of B'rith Abraham, opened to-day with scenes of great disorder. It was charged that the New York delegates had made a slate of new officers and the election was inter rupted at one point by the seizure of the ballot box by an excited delegate, who Im mediately scattered tbe ballots oyer the tellers' table. Fists were shaken, there were eries of fraud, groans and hisses, and some very uncomplimentary personal re marks were made. The election was completed in the even ing, resulting as follows: Grand Master, Julius Meseritz, Brooklyn, N. Y.; First Deputy, Samuel Dorf, Baltimore, Md.; Second Deputy, Nathan Strauss, Cleveland, Ohio; Grand Secretary, Leonard Leisor sohn, New York City; Endowment Secre tary, M.

Prompt Action Taken by Authorities to Prevent the Spread of tho Disease. Wilmington, Del., Aug. 29. Two horses belonging to a Newport farmer were attackpd by anthrax yesterday. One died and the other was shot Dr. Pearson, of the University of Pennsylvania, came down in answer to a telegram and co-operated with Dr. Eves in examining and dis posing of the stricken animals.

DAUGHTERS OF' LIBERTY i And Their 11 ale Colleagues Gathering In Philadelphia for Their AnnuaTSesslon Prospects for a Lively Time Several Exciting Contests for Office. Philadelphia, "Aug. 29. Spectall Delegates to the fifteenth annual session of the National Council, Daughters of Liber ty, have been coming into the city all day. There' are 500 of them here now, and by to morrow morning, when the session opens, there will be 200 more. "The meeting will last three days. Mayor Stuart will wel come the delegates at the opening, and then will begin one of the mostimpartant ses sions the National Council has ever held. The order is now located in 15 States, and all will be represented at this session. It has a membership of nearly 20,000, with Pennsylvania leading the States in point of numerical strength, with a membership of nearly 12,000. One of the most important measures to be considered this year is the question of establishing State councils. At present the entire order is under the jurisdiction of the National Council, and it is held by many that tho organization could make rapid progress if each State had an organi zation to look alter the work. There may, however, be a contest on this matter, as the Pennsylvania delegates' will not lavor the State council measure unless all the States that are able to support State bodies will organize. New York is ald to be opposed to a State council for its own State, because it would reduce its representation in the national body. But as' there must be a reduction in this representation any wav.and all States would be put on an equal basis, the measure is Jifcely to be adopted. Among other ensures to be considered is one providing ior the payment of a pre mium for the organization ot new councils; another granting past officers a voice and vote in the national body; one providing for a national organizer. The Pittsburg delegation, fully 200 strong, comes pledged to support nearly all these measures. The reports of the national officers to morrow will show that very rapid progress has been made during the "past year The order has been placed in three new States, viz: Indiana, Michigan and Rhode Island, Of 57 new councils organized during the year, 32 were in Pennsylvania, and more than half this number were in the vicinity of Pittsburg. , The election of officers will be one of the interesting features of the session. Pitts burg has two candidates tor the position of National Associate Vice Councilor. They are Mrs. Laura M. Thompson, of Pride of the West Council, and Miss Sadie Gribben, of Americus Council. The West also comes with two candidates, for National Vice Coun cilor. G. E. Kepple, of Pittsburg, is strongly opposed by John A. Zimmer, of Allegheny. This is the office from which promotion is made to the office of National Councilor, the head of the organization, and the friends of each candidate are, doing considerable hustling to-night Neither will concede that their opponent has the advantage. The Natioual Board of Officers held a meeting to-night, and wound up the aflairs of the fiscal year, and the delegates to the National Council were entertained by In tegrity Council, of Philadelphia. EX-SENATOR EMERY TALK3. He Believes Harrison W ill Bo Ttr-Elected ' President Without Trouble, ' Ex-State Senator Lewis Emery, who was conspicuous in the independent Republican movement against Senator Dclemater, and who is one of the largest oil operators in the State, was at the Hotel Duquesne last night. "I am probably the busiest man in. the State just now," the Senator began, "and I am not devotinc much time to politics. I am confident, however, that President Har rison will be re-elected, or I believe he should be. His policy is safe-, and the people of the country will not, I believe, try an experiment at this time. I believe all the leading-Republicans of the nation are earnest in;-supporting the. President, and as he beat Cleveland once, I am con fident he can do it again:" The Senator said the independent oil firoducers have not as yet decided upon any egislation by tbe next legislature in their interest "The nominations for the legislature 'already made by both parties rather pre clude 'any legislation in our interest," the Senator concluded.

One ofThem for Florida and the Other for Texas and Mexico. F1EE8, FAILURES IND THE RAILWAYS Philadelphia, Aug. 29. To-day Adel- bert E. Stockwell, the assignee for the Mutual Banking, Surety, Trust and Safe Deposit Company, accompanied by his counsel, appeared before Judge Bregy and made a motion that the assignment of tbe company to Mr. Stockwell and his bond for 5870,000' be confirmed and approved. Logan M. Bullit, counsel for Boscoe Hawkins, the receiver appointed for the supreme sitting ot the Order of the Iron Hall by Judge Taylor in Indianapolis, ob jected to the approval and confirmation of Mr. Stockwell, saying he bad many reasons for objecting, and aBked until Friday morn ing at 10 o'clock for the prepaiation and presentation of the objections. George S. Graham, receiver for the Iron Hall in this State, with his counsel, were also in court They took no part in the pro ceedings, but are in accord with the action of Mr. Bullit and will assist him in the efforts that are to be made to unseat Stock well. Judge Bregy agreed to the delay anil Mr. Stockwell s counsel filed a motion for the approval of the security. 'omi body's Talk Not Believed. A dispatch from Boston says: Insurance Commissioner Merrill vas seen to-day in relation to the latest statement made by Supreme Justice Soraerby, of the Iron Hall, wherein the latter criticizes the Court's action and expresses the belief that the order will be revived. The Commissioner said it was nonsense and amounted to little, mere wind on Mr. Somerby's part "There is no chance of" him or anybody else resurrecting the Iron Hall. It is dead now as a door nail. The fact is, those now identified with it have lost confidence in it by this latest showing up of the order. He may be able to get some fools to go in for a resurrection of the Iron Hall, but you can depend upon it that the bottom is knocked out The end has not only come for it, but ror an tne enaowment orders now existing. The only thing that encouraged them was the fact that the Iron Hall was in existence for ten years. They said if the Iron Hall can do this, then why cannot we. The fraternal societies like tbe Boyal Arcanum and American Knights ot Honor will feel the efTect of the fall of the Iron Hall, bnt it will be temporary, and such organizations will weather it all right" Its Affairs In Western States. A dispatch from Cincinnati says: An ap plication was made to-day to Judge'Wihon, of the Conrt of Common Pleas,for a receiver for the Hamilton county .branch of the Order of Iron Hall, and for a restraining order to prevent the payment of the funds on band to other parties. The restraining order was granted, and the receiver will doubtless be appointed in a few days if there is no resistance. Mr. J. B. Kinsley is to be receiver. In Common Pleas Conrt at Cleveland this morning, Amos Denison was appointed re ceiver for the Iron Hall in that county with a bond of $50,000. The fund in the banks is between 30,000 and $10,000. Judge Hamilton at this time refused to make the receivership apply to the entire State of Ohio. A dispatch from Indianapolis says: Judge Taylor this afternoon issued an order re leasing the members of the order of 'Iron Hall from paying assessment No. 180. All members who have paid assessments 178 and 179 will be in good standing and will be entitled to their portion of the assets ot tbe order. MILES OF WATEB DITCHES. A B!(r Syndicate Prepares to Cultivate Jlany Acres of Florida Land. Cincinnati, O., Ang. 29. Beyond all question the irrigation scheme being pushed in Florida by a number of capitalists of this city, Philadelphia and New York is to be the greatest North America has ever seen. It is exclusively a private enterprise conducted by a stock company that has no bonds to float, no stock to sell, no mort gages to negotiate. At present it is only a big land syndicate, but it may develop into the giant sugar monopoly of the world. The company has had an existence for months, and through its agents has secured at a few cents an immense tract of land on the St. John and Indian rivers, S3 miles long and from -three to six miles wide. It has three feet of rich muck, and it is estimated will be worth 5100 an acre when drained. The surveyors have been at work some time preparing plans, it being the In tention to drain the land in sections so that a part of it may be available next spring.
