Chicago, March 14. John L. Sullivan
has Issued anothor ultimatum. After his
next light for the championship he will
retire from the roped nrcna, in which he
has enjoyed nn unbroken reign of ten
years, and devote all of his time to the
stage, with which he appears to be
infatuated.
"I mean business," said Sullivan, "and
my ultimatum, first come, first served,
Will bo strictly lived up to. Corbctt has
pofted $1,000 of the $2,500, and I give
him till next Wednesday to post tho re
maining $1,500. My $2,500 Is already
up. If Mitchell really wnnts to fight, ns
he loudly proclaims, he has n chance to

ouly pnrtly up. Let him post his $2,500,

the preference.
"I nm willing to fight before the Olym

with his lmnd "tho champion of the
world, and I will not nltow any set of
horseshoers to draw up my articles for
me. As champion, I have the power to
dictate my own terms, ami no man nor
set of men can alter my purpose. Of
course, If tho Olympic Club'H urticles
suit me I will sign and stand by them,
but no one outside of Johnson, who is
my buckcr and knows exactly wbat I
want, and myself, has any power to say
I shall do this or that. And that re
mluds me that the storied printed in the
papers to the effect that President Noel
had forwarded articles for my approval
are not true. At least I have not re
ceived them, nor have I been ofllcially
notified that they have been forwarded.
"This will be my last fight. After it
is sattle.d I. will retire from the ring. I
am meeting with a share of success in
my now business and am satisfied to
remain where I a'm for two years or so,
when I will retire from the stage nnd

ENGLAND AT THE FAIR.

Lo.ndo.v, March, 14. The "St. James's
Gazette," referring to the meeting held
nt the Mansion House, at which Lord
Mayor Evans presided, to promote Eng
lish interest in the Chicago Columbian
Exhibition, says that Englishmen with
it national conscience will feol a touch of
stiAmo at the announcement that the
World's Fair is receiving cordlul sup
port from all parts of tho world, when
tho engllsh grants amount to ouly 25,
000, which is n smaller sum than other
less important countries have appropri
ated to provide a proper representation.
It is not pleasant to think that Euglnnd

WASHINGTON LIFE.
VOiie-Tlme Mtiyor anil an Army fleneml
In lleduciMl ClrciiniHtanres.
Washington, March 14. The dull rou
tine of Washington official lifo is often
followed by some amusing Incident,
which, for tho momet, drives away care
and toll. Again, some pathetic scene is
enacted which stlr3 all the gentler feel
ings of those who witness it. An occur
rence of the latter kind hnppened some
days since In the Treasury Department.
Secretary Blaine was walking through
the building when he saw a familiar fig
ure engaged in performing the services
of a messenger. He could scarcely credit
the evldeuco of his own senses nt first,
but when he was convinced he weut up
to the man and, in, his brisk peremptory
way, when deeply interested in a sub
ject, said: "Why, Mr. Bowen, you
mustn't be doing this kind of work. I
can't allow it. I'll find something better
for you."
'J he gontlemad .to whom he spoke was
Mr. Sayles J. Bowcu, at one time mayor
of Washington, at another its post
master and for years one of its most
prominent citizens. His experience had
been one which Is common, and so far as
known contained no extraordinary
features. Mr. Blaitio was as good as his
word and found Mr. Bowen a congenial
place in the Stato Department.
It Is not generally known that Mnjor
Genernl Alfred Plcas.mton, one of the
most distinguished cavalry leaders dur
ing the war, is upending the last years of
his life lu a small room of a poor hotel
in this city. But such is the fact. He
is not iu want, hut suffers greatly from
disease and cannot wear his clothes, lie
declines to see anyone but his old colored
nurse and his physician. It is said that
he Is greatly emaciated and that tnoso
who knew the dashing fighter in the days
of the Rebellion would not recognize
him in the figure now cooped up lu a
small room hero iu Washington.

The Scuildar Murder Ca.e.
Ciiioaoo, March 14. Frank Parker, a
brother of Mrs. Dunstou, alleged to have
been murdered by Dr. Scudder, who has
just returned from Janesvllle says that
the autopsy of the body of Mrs. Dunstou
reveals unmistakable evidences of foul
play. He adds: "Had Scudder been in
Janesvllle last week there would need bo
no trial) as the citizens there wore thor
oughly aroused regarding the case. The
wounds on my dead sister's head are
thought to have been made with a gas
pipe." (Iraml Duke Ludwlg Dead.

TRAMP IN THE OVEN
The Ki-cption ;i Knight of tlio
Koad Got in Jersey.
A FARMER'S WIFE JAILED HIM.
Eut the Oven Did Not Prove to b3 Strong
Enough to Hold Him.
While the Woman Wjis Away Alarniliie
the NLlshburs the Tramp Kicked the
Hack Out of Ills I'rlsou and Muda Good
Ills Ilscape lie Wanted What Money
There Was in the House, but Did Not
Get Anything.
Deckertown, N. J., March 14. Mrs.
Sarah Baker, wife of a farmer in Wan
tage Township, had an experience with
n tramp the other day. Mrs. Baker is a
small woman, but strong and plucky.
She was ail ulone at the time, her hus
band being away on business. Her eyes
had troubled her for severol woeks, and
sho was wearing a pair ot green glasses.
She was sitting In the dining room early
in the afternoon and had fallen Into a
doze.
Suddenly the door opened and a tramp
entered. He wasn't very large, but he
had an ugly look and carried a club. Ho
did not see Mrs, Baker at first, and she
kept very quiet. Finally she exclaimed:
"Who Is there?"
The tramp looked around and at once
made up his mind that the woman was
blind. That is just what she wanted
him to believe, for she had already
formed a plan of action.
"I want something to eat and I wont
it quick, see?" said the tramp.
"No, I don't sec," said Mrs. Baker,
"but 1 hear very well, and I guess you
are a thief come to rob the house."
"Never mind whnt you guess. You
hustle nnd get mo some grub. I hain't
hnd anything to eat since yesterday
morning."
Mrs. linker got up nnd pretended to
stumble around in search of food. She
found tioiue bread and butter and some
cold pork, and put them on the table.
Then she fumbled around until she found
the chnlr and sat down again. The
vagnboud ate everything up, and then
bhotited:
"Now I want what money you have in
the house."
"Haven't any money," replied Mrs.
Baker.
'Yf "ic liar," yelled the impolite
visitor, 'in. 1 11 you don't tell me where
it is I wnl ci t your heart out,"
The little woman was badly frightened,
but stuck to her story that she had no
money until the tramp grabbed her by
the luilrund threatened to cut her throat.
Then she apparently weakened and said
that the money was hidden where sfae
couldn t get ut it.
"Where is it?" asked the tramp.
"In the big oven," was tho reply, and,
without turning her bean, Mrs. Baker
pointed toward the kitchen. The man
went in the kitchen and looked Into the
old oven. There was 110 fire in it aud it
seemed empfy. Then he came back and,
taking her by the throat, said that she
was lying aud that he would kill her.
She cried find begged him to spare her
life mid, amid her sobs, informed him
that the mouoy was in a wud behind a
loose brick at the rear of the oven,
She looked so innocent and truthful
that the man bolioved her aud went back
into the kitchen. Mrs. Baker will tod un
til she heard him crawling into tho big
oven. Then she run iutn the kitchen,
and, grabbing the tea-kettle from the
stove, poured the boiling water on his
legs. Ho yelled with pain, aud involun
tarily drew his legs insldo the oven. The
woman ut onco shut the oven door and
fastened It by putting a knife through
the latch.
Then she slipped on her bonnet nnd
ran down the road for a mile until she
reached a blacksmith's shop. There
were three men in the shop and, after
resting 11. minute, she managed to tell
them whnt had occurred, 'lliey grabbed
some hickory spokes and all hurried
back with her. They were rather timid
when they flist entered tho kitchen, but
regained their courage when they saw
that tho oven door was still securely
fastened.
They decided that Mrs. Baker should
open the door and that they should grab
the tramp mid take him to the justice of
the peace ut Wantage. When Mrs. Baker
opened the oven door she gave a cry of
astonishment. As she looked In she saw
clear across the kitchen garden and out
Into the orchard. I lie tramp had kicked
the entire back out of tho old oven and
escaped.
