One, but Jack Was Too Much for Him. tFFECTAI. TIXkORAM TO TBI DIRrATCH.1 New Orleans, Sept 5. Jack McAu lifle, the gallant Brooklyn boy, to-night demonstrated to the satisfaction of 6,000 persons in the Olympic Athletic Club arena, that he is the greatest fighter in his class that the world ever saw, when he knocked ont Billy Myer, of Streator, I1L, in 15 rounds. McAulifle was overjoyed when Myer failed to respond to the call, and before be left the ring he drank a deep draught of champagne from a bottle which had been brought to the ring side by the redoubtable champion. "I bad him all the time," said Jack, as his eyes sparkled and his hand was shaken by friends who crowded forward. "I had him all the time, and finished him at my leisure. I didn't care to rash matters, because I knew that he was in my power, and all I had to do was to keep my eyes open, evade his rushes, and go in and win when I had worn him out by repeated jabs. Tell my friends in New York that I am unhurt see, I haven't a mark on me and that I will be home as soon as Sullivan wins his battle." Hones't John Kelly, Jim Wakely, Dick Roche, Charlie Johnson and other Eastern men have won very heavily on McAuliffe, while the West and northwest, are pauper ised. Myer In Pretty Hart Shape. "He's the only fighter in the world," was Wakely's comment as McAuliffe walked to his dressing room, almost carried by his friends. Myer's right eye was closed and his right ear split open, and there were a number of ugly red marks on his cheek and throat, where McAuliffe's gloves had torn the tough skin. The trip from the heart of the city to the rink was exciting and interesting in the ex treme. An endless procession of carriages filed through St Charles street to Gravier, and then to Carondelet, where a turn was made into Canal street, which was followed till Bourbon street, in the heart of the French quarter, was reached. The horses and their accouterments, wet with the rain, glistened under the rays of the electric lights, and the natives flocked to their doors to look at the men who had come thousands of miles to' see two human beings battle for superiority with the weapons with which nature endowed them. Fretty TVnxnnn Among the Cations. The pretty women of the French quarter, in flowing gowns of white, hung from the windows, while whole families stood in the shadows of tbeir doorways and scrutinized the occupants of 'the carriages as the horses splashed past The street cars were crowded to the doors, and soon the down-town por tion of the city had lost the greater part of its floating population. Long before '6 o'clock thousands of men and boys bad gathered in Koyal street, and the ticket holders, headed by the police, bad to force their way through a solid mass of humanity. It was no easy task, but by hard work the officers WILLIAM MYER. kept the one doorway on Koyal street and the two entrances on Charles street compar atively clear. A huge electric light, look ing like a great white eye, glowed in front of the Olympic Club, and was in contrast with the gloomy surroundings of the contiguous streets, for the Olympic's arena is in the poorest ppjtion of the city, some three miles from the heart of the city. Within the club house all were comfortable and cozy and the visitors appeared to be making them selves at home. "Tb Clabhoosn Crowded to the Koor. The big house was- crowded to the extent of its accommodation. Rooms had been set apart for the ubb of McAuliffe and Myer, that of the champion being on the ground floor, while his opponent's was immediately overhead. Everv convenience was provided for the comfort of both men. The speculators began arriving at the arena about 5 o'clock, when the doors were thrown open, and' it was first come first served for the galleries, and by 6 o'clock the latter place appeared to be quite filled. The general pub'ic seemed, to prefer the upper galleries, as they gave a'fine view down in to the ring, and tber were filled before the down stairs seas were taken. The roof of the ampitheater was only of tarpaulin, and there were large openings at the side, which gave ample ventilation a ' very necessary feature, as the weather was warm. A pretty steady rainfall-rendered it no easy task to reach the ringside. Tne transportation Is always bad there, espec ially in rainy weather, as a majority have to walk. A Comfortable Enough Place. tj,. demand for reserved seats was so sreatthat the club increased the number 1 ,. nrioinal 200 to 2,500. As there t . v- (Iia n.vini? reserved I was no nurrj- .-v.. ( seats very few of them appeared before 8 o'clock, by which time the build ing began to be well filled. The ventilation and ligbti were vary good, and there was none of that stuffy feeling so frequent in buildings where there are many thousand persons congregated. Some of the work about the Building was a little rough, having been done Only in the last few days. Indeed, as the press Beats ran oat additional ones bad to be con tributed, andiwere completed only a few hours before the doors of the clnb were thrown open to the public Before 9 o'clock the arena was uncomfprt ably fnll of men who paid 815 for box seats, 510 for lower seats and $7 50 for seats in the gallery, and when ex-Mayor Guillotte made the formal announcement that a contest lor jomx. m'auIiIffe. the lightweight championship of the world was about to take place he received a rous ing cheer. Prof. John Duffy, the official referee, then climbed through the padded ropes, and there was a howl of pleasure. Police .Captain ' Barrett weighed the gloves personally on the stage, and on finding that -they pressed the scale down at full five ouncestossed them into the center of the ring. He then warned the crowd that order must be maintained, and that persons who made too muoh noise or in any way misconducted themselves would be ejected from the building. The men weighed in a few minutes before 9 o'clock. The limit was 13S pounds. Myer scaled 137 and McAulifle 137 pounds. When this proceeding .was told by Prof. Duffy it was made known that the time keeper would be R. M. Prank, while Jimmy Colville, of Boston, would hold the watch for McAulifle and George R. Clark for' Myer. Tlio Men Enter the Hint. It was 9:10 o'clock when McAuliffe en tered the ring, accompanied by his handlers. He was only moderately applauded. Myer, who followed a minute later, was loudly cheered, showing that he was the favorite with the large majority. McAulifle's seconds were Joe Choynski, Jack Sheehan, Jimmy Nelson and Prof. James Robertson. Myer was looked alter by his brother Ed, John Eckhardt, Prank Hoxey and Alf Kennedy. Myer took his seat in the corner occupied bv Jack Dempsey, Peter Maher and other losers, and it is' called the unlucky corner. While awaiting for 9 o'clock to roll around the audience, which by this time had swelled to large proportions, fully 6,000 persons being present, was most cir cumspect They chatted good naturedly with" with each other. No in troduction was necessary. They had met for a common purpose, and were soon on the friendliest terms. Nearly all hud their fans in their hands, having come prepared for a warm time, but the atmosphere, thanks to the1 open sides of the arena, it as remarkably sweet and pure, a delicious breeze blowing through the wooden strncture. There was a slight quibble regarding the rules, but it was finally adjusted to the sat- ' refaction of both parties. McAuliffe smiled cheerlully as his seconds tanned mm, as though fighting was the pleasantest task in the world. At 9.22 o'clock time was called and the men entered briskly to the center of the ring. The fight by rounds progressed as follows; t Myer a Flrs'-rjlii.g Starter. BousdL The men jumped to the center of the ring. HcAuliffe looking pale and Myer l osy. Mac led for the stomach, slipped and fell. On regaining his feet Myer landed a llglit left and Jack smiled." Both men were extremely cautious, though ITcAuliffo was the aggressor. The latter stepped in and delivered a neat left-hander on the nose, and got away without a return. Myer was forced to a stake, but danced out of harm's war, came np again and took part In a Clin oh In the middle or the ring. Every move by the men as heartily cheered, and Myer, miss ing a left-band lead, fell In on his opponent and wa oltnched. It was a pretty round and the men were sent to their corners, not a bit the worse tor It. Hootd 2. McAuliffe landed a heavy right-hander and Myer clinched, delivering a heavy right himself. There was warm work In the center or the ring, with Mjer on the defense. McAuliffe feinted with the left, landed his Hunt, and was cross coun tered.

McAuliffe knocked Myer down with a heavy right on the eye, and upon getting up the men clinched, though Myer was grassy from the heavy right on the cheek. Juit as the round ended Myer was nearly floored with a heavy right ana lett on the nee. Mc Auliffe looted a 10 to 1 shot at this stage of the game, for he was lighting a fast and furi ous battle.

McAuliffe next landed a heavy left on Myer's nose, and In a clinch Myer hit his opponent several times. ' Both men were now weak from their tremendous ex ertions, though McAuliffe seemed the stronger of the two. The latter landed sev eral left-hand stomaoh punches, and Myer clinched after receiving a right on the jaw. M er was seemingly verv weak, thonrh liin wonderful reouperative powers enabled him to make a reasonable defense. This was McAuliffo's round, and Myer sat in his -corner for his minute's reBt He was plainly in distress. Kousd 4. McAuliffe landed light on the head and missed the same from his oppo nent by a clever duck.- McAuliffe nearly fell from a right on the bead, but never touched the ground. Both men were eager to fight, and both landed light blows on head and stomach. McAuliffe slipped to the ground and was accidentia hit by Myer. ilcAnliffe missed a vicious left-hand swing for the stomach, though he narrowly es caped right and left for his head a moment later. Myer was knocked down near his corner with a heavy right on the forehead, and staggered from a left swing. The fight ing so far wa9 something terrific Nothing like it has ever before been seen in the Olympic ring. Both Men Mix TJp Matters. Kocsd 6. McAuliffe landed a heavy lett stomach punch and Myer nearly felt The men mixed matters, and HcAuliffe clinched about the body. The latter landed a right hand stomaoh punch and escaped Myer's in return. Myer barely got out of the way from a left lead from the stomach, and in a clinch both men landed right and left, and Mc Auliffe, running in, landed a heavy right on the face. The men had to bo parted at the eudot thlmonnd! jlouxn 6 McAuliffe boxed Myer toward the tatter's corner, but missed a left lead for th stomach. McAuliffe landed a heavy leiton the face, but received the same com plinent in return. Both men were ex tieuely cautious In countering. They landed stomach blows, andexcnangedblows ror the head. MCAuune mused a 'lett lead, bnt caught Myer coming In with his right, after missing a lert lead for the stomach and decking. Eoriu 7-McAuliffe landed his usual left punch on the nose, though he missed the same hand lor the stomach later. 'Myer aimed a vicious right hand, but it went Into the air. Myer next stopped a heavy right with his head and clinched to avoid punish ment. In countering, he landed right and lert on McAnllfle's bead. A clinch followed. Myer followed McAuliffe closely. The for mer landed a light left upper cut just-as the gong sounded. The Westerner's chances were considered to be better now, Neither man was much hurt, however, though sev eral blows had been recorded, mostly to tbe ii lumnuonrgers creait. Koran 8 This round was begun with a 1 hug, though Myer appeared to want to be the aggressor, for he landed a heavy punch on the head and repeated the' blow with his right. A great deal orcllnclilne was done in this ronnd. First blood was claimed and allowed for MoAnliffo, the ruby ooming from Myer's right eye. He was brave, bow even and MoAuliffe was half knooked down and hair fell from a clinch. The men were desperately angry now and a fearful slug ging match took place. Both men were very weak and Myer's step was unsteady when he went to his corner for his minute's rest. Routo 9 Another hug opened tbe round, but tbe men broke away fairly. Great cool ness characterised tbe contest. MoAuliffe was still the aggressor. MoAuliffe narrowly missed tbe right on the point of the jaw and nearly knocked Myer down with aright hand swing. Myer fell from exhaustion and refused to arise. Myer fell on the ropes and lell from right and left banders on tbe head. The' Westerner now looked beaten, and nearly fell trom one of his misses. He was very tired and went to his corner. This round favors MoAuliffe, though Myer's friends still pin their faith on his reouper ative powers. - Roukd 10 McAuliffe commenced his ag gressive work which told so much In tbe other ronnd, and Myer appeared to be rat tled. McAuliffe was not throwing any chances Away, however, and ollnohed to avoid the right. Myer was waiting for nls famous right-hand jolt, and got it in with terrlflo force, though McAuliffe did not fall. MoAuliffe received a heavy right on the nose, and Myer got double tbe compliment The latter was very Weak, and MCAuliffe was willing- to rest himseir. The men clinched and were in that rjosltlon when the round ended. This round was in favor of MoAuliffe. Myer Proves to Be Very jFoxy. Bound 11 Both men advanced to the cen ter and MoAuliffe missed a left lead on tbe stomach. Some nice boxing ooourred.tbough Myers was tbe receiver general In a heavy rally, but he clinched In time to save himself from the ground. McAulifle landed his left forearm on. .Billy's chin and forced the latter to his corner, upon breaking away. Both missed light 'left leads. Myer's legs seemed weak and McAuliffe tried to coax him to lead, In the hope of crossing him with the right, as he came In. Myer was too fqxy, however, and would not be gulped that way. Bouicd 12. The referee Jumped to the cen ter of the ring and smelt Myer's gloves, though nothing unfair had been attempted, and the men were permitted to box. Myer missed a lert for the head, and nearly fell, getting back from an aggressive mo ve by his opponent. MoAuliffe landed a heavy stomaoh punch. Mver was fought to the roues, tboush the Wllllamsburser was fear ful of a right-hand cross under. The men mixed matters in MoAullffe's corner, punched vigorously at each other, and clinched twice without any apparent harm to either. AcAullffn walked Jauntily to his corner, while the Westerner seemed slow. Xo stimulants were offered the Williams burger, though Myer was rubbed and fed with lemon. ltotmD 13. McAuliffe landed a left-handed facer, and Myer clinched. The former walked around his opponent, eying him olosely, and Myer backed away. McAuliffe attempted to land a terrlffic right on the heart, but was stopped by Mver's forearm. McAuliffe stole in and landed a heavy left on the nose, and dropped his hands and walked away, though in a rally later both men landed blows on the head, Myer getting the best of the exchange. When the gong sounded both men eyed each other. Settled by n Heavy BIght-Hander. Bound 14. Myer responded to tbe call of time, looking much better. McAuliffe land ed a heavy swing on the Jaw which nearly turned its recipient around. McAuliffe fpTced Myer to the ropes, delivering blows on the bead. In the breakaway Myer pushed his left on his opponent's nose. Terrlflo blows wero landed, followed by a neat bit of boxing. McAuliffe attempted to feint with his lert ror tne stomacn. Myer wouia not bite him, however, and the round ended with honors easy. Eociro 15 The opening of this round was characterized by several awkward attempts on the part of both men. and the audience cheered when Myer was knocked down with a heavy right. MoAuliffe knocked him down again as he got up. This time he lav helpless on the ropes until he was counted out. It was a heavy right-band swing that did the trick, and McAuliffe was borne triumphantly on his seconds' shoulders to his corner. , The "Williamsburger was made the recip ient of hearty applause, notwithstanding the fact that New Orleans was known as a Myer city. The "YVilliamsburgerVseconds opened champagne in his corner, while Myer was offered a glass of wine by his conqueror, which was accepted, and a hearty handshake Wound" up the greatestbattle recorded in the lightweight class since the daysof Billy .Ed wards, Barney Aaron and Sam Colyer those goo " old timers of the days gone by. . Slyer Wasn't In It. Any close observer ot men, any keen student of human impulse, saw at the out set that in his heart Myer did not expect to defeat his opponent. There was in his stolid face no glint of hard resolve. He , was- there because the match was made, because he had been trained for the encounter, because others, if not himself, believed there was a chance for him to succeed. The two men are scarcely to be compared as to scientific form. One shambled, the other.trod firmly. One slouched loosely as he squared away, the other was alert, springy, confident. The offensive throughout the battle was assumed by McAulifle. Myer, to be sure, led occasionally. He could not always stand and wait and gave his foe his own time for rest. 160 SPORTS JAILED. Chicago Police Descend Upon the Garfield Park Race Track and Arrest Book makers, Jockeys, Officials and Fp-cti-tors A Chair Sbied at the Officers. Chicago, Sept. 5. Two hundred officers raided Garfield Park race track this after noon and arrested 160 people. The police in 14 patrol wagons xnaue their appearance at the gates during the progress of the third race. They were denied admittance, the gates shut in their faces and messengers were sent scudding to warn the judges and bookmakers that the police were coming. The officers lost no time in smashing in the gates, and before many of the book makers could pack up their money and get away the heavily-loaded patrol wagons came tearing down the home stretch, and a ring of officers was around the betting ring. Twenty-five bookmakers and nearly as many jockeys were taken into custody. Colonel Clark, the presiding judge.Gteoree N. Hankins, President of the track, and Harry Varnell, one of the stockholders, were also arrested. Colonel Clark, who weighs over 200 pounds, declined to get into the patrol wagon, and asked for a car riage in which to ride to the police station. Several officers seized him in front, more "boosted" from behind, and the portly Keutucklan was tossed into the wagon be lore he could draw a long breath. The crowd in the grandstand hooted and jeered the police, but no attention was. paid to it until a chair was hurled at one of the officers. Inspector Lewis, followed by SO of his men, rushed into that portion of tbe stand from where the chair bad been hurled and arrested every man in it. The prison ers were then carted off to Desplaines street police station, and all were released on bail within a short time. As in the raid of last week, the, arrests were mado upon warrants sworn out by private individuals. - DEEAILED OS A E1VEH BAHK. Two Trainmen Go Down to Death, hJ Humor Says Several Italians Also. Newbubgh, IT. Y., Sept R As a train on the "West Shore Railroad, which left "Weehawkin this afternoon, was approach ing Cranstons, tho engine, tender, baggage and smoking car left tbe track on the river side. The engine and tender ran into the river, which is very deep at this point, and at once sans out tit signt, carrying down Engineer Isenburg and Fireman Van Style, The baggage car and smoker left the rails, but the coupling broke and they were not carried down with the engine. The passen ger cars did not leave the rails. Those on board the 'train were badly shaken up and frightened, but nobody was hurt. The cause of the accident is not yet definitely known, but from marks on tleB it is supposed some part of the engine or ten der gave way, throwing the, engine off the tract Both the baggage car and smoker went partly into the water. Some of those in the smoker had to wade through the water. It is reported that several Italian railroaders were on the front platform, of the baggage car and were carried down with the engine. STARS OFTHE RING Both Reported in Excellent Shape and Anxious for the Meeting Hour. SULLIVAN GETTING TIEED Of Training So Hard to Keep Down Bis Superfluous Flesh. HIS WORK IN THE CRESCENT CITY. Corbett's Friends Still Confident Date the Better Man. Ihej HOW THE BETTING- ODDS ARE SHIFTING rSPZCIAL TILEQBAM-TO THE DIBPATCU.1 New Obleans, Sept & Sullivan slept later than usual this morning. "When he had been awakened his trainers sent for his breakfast to be served in his room. Chops were the backbone of tbe breakfast, and after their consumption he tumbled about at his ease, reading tbe morning papers. Soon after 10 o'clock PhiL Casey, after a brief absence from the room, returned and or dered his man to get in shape for his morn ing's work. Trousers, sweater and a light ' & J. 3 111. Vl- -IJ 1L. ....1.. vu were uuuucu mui.iUDiimui tue.vaicb, and shortly after the champion, with his trainer and handlers, entered a carriage and was driven to the Young "Men's Gymnasium. Club, where Sullivan proceeded with his ex ercise. He welted the leather bag for nearly 20 minutes with his big fists. The morning was very warm, and, save where the steady southeasterly breeze pene trated, men were suffering with heat. There was little breeze where Sullivan did his work, in an upper room of the club house, and he was soon dripping with perspiration. The rope jumping followed, and then came passing of tbe five-pound leather ball with his handlers. Finally, when Phil Casey's honest face beamed with satisfaction at the condition of his charge, he called the play off for the morning. Enlllvan Down to 210 Pounds. After John took his work in the after noon he was weighed and tipped the beam at 210 pounds. Casey was all smiles, and announced hims.elf as being greatly pleased. Unless the present plans are altered, Sulli van will not do any hard work to-morrow. Charlie Johnson says the champion is fine enough, but that if necessary he could go into the ring at 203 pounds. Sullivan lelt so well after dinner that he announced his intention oi putting in an hour's lively work at the Young Men's Gymnasium, and accordingly at 4 o'clock he went-to the clubhouse and went through the performance of the morning, including a plunge in the swimming pool. Large crowds of club men saw him swimming and punching the bag, but he had his ruhdown in the reposing room, which is fitted up most luxuriously. The big fellow is tired of training, and said: "I wish my fight w,as on for to-night I'd like to have the job over. The next time I fight I don't want to go through this training racket I want somebody to tell me about it" Goddard Anxlonii to Meet the Victor. Billy Madden is 'Sobbing around the city in the liveliest, manner with his latest ac quaintance, Joe Goddard, the lusty Aus tralian, in tow. Billy wants to put the Barrier champion against any bod, and the winner of the Sullivan-Corbett fight will probably be challenged belorj the victor leaves the ring. Nearly every public carriage in the city has been engaged for the three fights, and those that have not already been secured are being held at exorbitant prices, one cabby in front of the St. Charles demanding $15 a night for his rickety carriage and spavined horse. Seventy-five dollars in Pittsburg would buy a better turnout, but cabby is only following the example of everybody around him, and is endeavoring to get rich while the boom is on and the lamb is in town to be shorn. Those who have not -enough money to afford the luxury and convenience of a carriage will walk or take chances in the dingy street cars that trundle along at a snail's pace, the motive power beingfurnished by mules of all sizes, ages and conditions. Some are fat. while others are thin, but all are sleepy and cannot be induced by any known methods of torture to get over the ground at anything like the speed ot the horse. Tbe Sleepy Drivers of the Horse Cars, The drivers, like the mules, are heavy oyed, and never display the slightest ani mation, except when a railway crossing is reached. There are no draw-gates in New Orleans, and the drivers invariably cross the track before the engine takes the end platform oft the car. Once over the cross ing, the driver's chin rests on his chest and he is once more asleep. The visitors were much cast down by a rain storm at 2 o'clock, but they brightened up somewhat when the sun came out at 3. It was only a feeble attempt at cheerful ness, however, as the sky became heavy and overcast again, and ram began railing in a steady down pour at 4 o'clock and con tinued during the -evening. Two tweet-faced Sisters of Charity gained enough money to feed tbe orphans in their charge for many a day by standing one on either side of the flignt of stone steps lead ing from the street to the rotunda of the St Charles Hotel. The good women stood with downcast eyes, and not one man of that throng from all portions of the United States passed without contributing some thing. Frequently it was a dollar, but oft 'ener a quarter, but the roughest sport in tbe crowd did not permit the Sisters to leave empty-handed. , At other" prominent points in the city the Sisters solicited alms, and met with equal success. There Is no man more liberal to tbe poor and needy than the gambler and Snort Perhaps he thinks it will bring him luck, but the chances are 'that the heart, not the con science, is the dictator. Corbett to Bench New Orleans To-Day. Those who came with Jim Corbstt's train a portion of the way sar that the young Californian is in good shape, that he will arrive to-morrow, mating the journey by easy stages, so that he will not be com pelled to remain in town but one night be lore the fight A The last mile or so of Corbett's spin in Charlptte yesterday was inside the city limits, and the good people of Char lotte were shocked that a prize fighter should cone within" their gates to train. Corbett got word that a warrant was to be issued for his arrest, and he quietly board ed tbe regular train which was to leave the town an hour or so before the special, and left tor Spartantburg, S. C., where he await ed the coming of his friends. Sullivan's friends pay no attention to Corbett or anything concerning his move ments, as they regard their man the surest of sure things. The battle between Dixon and Skelly to morrow night, is regarded as a cinch by betting men, Billy Eeynolds, Skelly's youthful backer, being about the only man who thinks the young ex-amateur of Brook lyn will win. Kaon Prejudice Against Dixon. The feeling against Dixon is strong, and Bat Masterson and other "Western men say that it will be a question whether the col ored boy will get a square show. President 1 V. . . L. Noel, Vice President Spark and othsr men prominent inthemanagement of the Olymplo Athletio Club, however, say that Dixon's color will not be taken into consideration, andTtbat race prejudice will not enter into the contest Both men are down to weight, and each expressed the greatest confidence. It would be a great black eye for the talent if Skelly should land his man. Some of the Pittsburg delegation did not like Dixon's fight with Johnson any too well, and they figure that the saddle-colored champion has gone back and is nothing like the boy who put Cal McCarthy into a trance at Troy. All day long the ticket office of Broker Frank, on St Charles street, was crowded by an eager mob of ticket holders, who were anxious to pay their good money over in exchange for the pieces of pasteboard that entitled the holder to a seat in the arena of the Olympic Athletic Club. Many Eersons from a distance bad engaged seats y telegraph, and they had in a major of instances to be identified, some scoundrel securing the seats of a reputable newspaper man on Sunday by misrepresentation. The arrangements for the press were wholly in adequate to meet the demands of the 200 or more correspondents, and a huge block of reserved seats was set aside to-day for the accommodation of newspapermen. It was not mors than 5 a'clock when there was an exodus from the vicinity of the St Charles, and by 6 o'clock everybody with an intention of witnessing the Mc-Aulifle-Myer battle had started for the arena. It was still raining in that Southern fashion peculiar to New Orleans, and the streets were gutterful. CORBETT ON THE ROAD: A Fine Beoeptlon at Atlanta and One Beady In New Orleans. MontgomeeYjAla., Sept. 6. The finest reception Corbett received anywhere along tb.6 road was at Atlanta, .Ga, to-day, where a large crowd congregated. Corbett was com pelled to show himself, so he walked out on the back platform and jokingly spoke to the crowd and shook" hands with dozens of them who climbed up to offer their best wishes.' One man who grasped his hand left a note in it, and to Corbett's surprise, when he went to read the scrap of paper he found that-it was a 5 bilL There was not one unpleasant word spoken by anyone in the crowd in the shape of a com- Earison between himself and Sullivan, as as happened at other places. From there on to Montgomery great crowds gathered at every station. Corbett and his party will reach New Orleans about 7 o'clock in the morning. Corbett is in the best of condition and is feeling like a 3-year old. When Corbett arrives in New Orleans he will be driven directly to the residence of Mr. Walmslee, which is about one block lrom tbe Hawthorn Club, where he will do his work both Tuesday and Wednesday. Corbett's friends claim that in all Sulli van's previous fights he had his stomach bandaged up in heavv plasters, from half an inch to an inch thick, and thns protected his stomach and took unfair advantage ot his opponent Tbey propose making him strip to the waist, like all other pugilists are re quired to do. This will doubtless create a great sensatien when it is sprung on the New Orleans people in the morning. Ktlraln Thinks Corbett Will Win. George Cake, ex-Secretary of the Window Glass "Workers' Association, returned home from Washington last night Hesaid that Jake Kilrain is very enthusiastic over Cor bett aud thinks he will be an easy winner. "While I was in Kilrain's place, on Eutaw street in Baltimore, last night, I saw hlra put up $3,000 on Corbett against 2,500 which was put up on Sullivan. ALBERT C00LEY CONVICTED Of Shooting and Stabbing a Man Near Fair chance Xflne Years Ago, Uniontowit, Sept C SperfoZ. Albert Cooley, a brother of Frank Cooley, was tried and convicted here to-day for a crime he committed nine years ago. In 1883 Cooley .was arrested with two other men on the information of one Kyle, who charged them with Bhooting. cutting and stabbing him. The grand jury found a true bill against Cooley, but liberated the other men. Cooley went out West to avoid convic tion. After living out there sovsn years he returned on account of sickness. The original prosecutor had died in the mean while, and the prosecution was, of course, dropped, but was revived by Eev. Mr. Hunter, of Fairchance, chaplain of the Tenth Eegiment, N. G. P. The case was the first taken up in court this morning. It occupied the attention of court the entire day. v THE CZAS AFEA1D 07 ENGL ADD.
