Mitoliell said: "It is not possible for a man to drink and abuse his stomach as Sullivan has done and then recover perfectly. He may appear to be all right, but not until he is hit, then hard and good a dozen times, will its true condition be apparent. His stomach has always been his weak point, and Jake will take plenty of time and pay a good deal of attention to it. Where Sullivan once broke his arm he may injure it again, and in that event where would he be? Jake has never injured his stomach by dissipation, and he has never had an arm broken. All his limbs are perfect. Sullivan will try and rush Jake all about If he lands, well and good, but if Jake evades him he will soon tire himself out so that he will not be able to stand on hii legs. If he does what a picnic he will be for Kilrain." Sixty-Din* of th. United Stat*. Bleam.r Washington, July 8.-G B. Creecy, of the Pneumatic Gun Carriage company, has filed a cavfeat on a device by which he hope* to use the old monitors for coast defense purposes. There are thirteen of these monitors. Their armor ia too light to be any protection against modern guns. Mr. Creecy proposes to take the turrets oil the monitors and to place on each two large cannons, mounted on disappearing gun carriage* They are to be sighted and aimed from below decks by the intervention of mirrors. They are also to be loaded below the water line and hoisted into place by pneumatic power. The reooll of each gun carries it back below decks, and it is above the deck for three seconds only.

In Chicago's Famous Cronln CaM—An The Stakes and Gate Receipts Reached Interesting Document Which States The fight between Heenan and Sayera is well known Heenan Was practically robbed of the victory by the cowardice of the referee, who ran away when he saw the Englishman waa losing. The successor of Sayers a* champion of ELgland wai Tom King, who challenged Heenan to D match for $10,000 The light waa conducted at Wadhurs', England, Dec. 10, 1863. King was practically licked at the end of the nineteenth round, but by a preconcerted arrangemeut a gang of Lis sympathisers broke into the ling and gave King time to recover breath. Soon after fighting waa resuaed, lut Heenan grew suddenly sick, with symptoms of poisoning, and King was awarded the atakrg and championship. The true inwardness of this fight has never yet been learned. Some charged that Heenan had sold out; others that he had been intentionally poisoLed by his trainer and yet others that he shimmed sk knees out of fear of the apecta'ois. Heenan thereupon retired and Joe Coburn claimed the championship of America. King had also retired, and Jem Mace was his successor. Coburo tried several times to get up a m«tQh with Usee, even going al{ tbe way to Ireland to meet him, but Mace backed out at the last m ment. Soon af erwarda, Japes Elliott, a New Yorker, challenged Goburn, but tbe latter would not fight and Klliatt claimed the victor'a belt. By similar tactics Bill Davis, a Californian, in 1865 claimed the aupromacy. Davis* waa whipped by Mike MoCeole, of St. liowis, on the following year, and WcOoole thereupon set up a claim to championship honor*. About this time Tom Allen ewe to this country. He promptly challenged McCoole, and they met twice. Toe first time McCoole, although dearly bested, won on a foul. Tbe second set to gave Allen the trophy, but it waa quickly wrested from him by Jem Uace, the English .ohampon, who defeated Ulen at New Orleans, May 10, 1870, 'o ten rounds. After fighting two or three draws Allen met Joe Qoas oo Sept. 1, '76, leaving the l*fl[ ter the victor. Johnny Dwyar next made his appearance in the pugilistic firmament and by beating Jimmy Elliott, past champion, claimed theohamplonahlp of ibis country. As no one arose to dispute the claim, Dwyer retired. Paddy Bran then assumed the roll of leading fighter, and by defeating Joe Goas in an 86 round fight at Colliers Station, W. Va. May 30, 188.0, for $1000 a aide, clinched his pretentions. Two years Uter the present champion met Ryan in the fight which, next to the one of to-day, is the hardest Sullivan ever had, and knocked him out in nine rounds thereby winning the championship of the world and the generally bestowed credit of beicg the hardest striking prise fighter that ever lived. The claim of Kilrain to the victor'a trophy has never been conceded, and he ia not, therefore among the past champions.

It was rescued and towed to the Canadian shore. It was that of a man about 40 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height, and weighed about 160 pounds. The hair was dark, and sufficient mustache was left to indicate that quite a heavy one had been worn. The body was entirely nude, the only article left upon it being a black chicked necktie. Many persons viewed the remains without identifying them, and decomposition being rapid, Undertaker Morse had the body buried at Drummond Hill. The body has been unclaimed.

New Orleans, June 8,8:12 •. m.,—The report telegraphed to New York and elsewhere that Sullivan knocked Kilrsin out in eight rounds has turned out to be bogus.

Sullivan was born of Irish parents at Boston Highlands, Oet. 15, 1858, He began to spar in 1879, and appeared in several exhibitions in Boston. He did not attract general attentions until the Joe Goes benefit in 1880, when he appeared in the wind up with (Joss, and gave the veteran a right bander which sent him sprawling to the floor. His next match was with George Rooke, whom ha finished in one round. About this tinia Sul'.ivan visited Cincinnati and there bested Johu Donaldson in three rounds. Later, at the same place, he knocked Donaldson out in ten rounds with small gloves. He then signed articles with Paddy Ryan to fight for $5,000 and the championship of America. They met Mississippi City, Feb. 7, 1882, Sullivan winning in threa rounds lasting 10 miuutes and SO seconds. Unable to induce any of the heavy weight) to meet him in a prize ring encounter, Sullivan introduced what is known as the "knock out" business, offering to stop any man in the world in four rounds with gloves and promising $1,000 to any man staying four rounds.

I began to notice that the scaly eruptions gradually dropped off and disappeared one by one, and have been fully cured. I bad the disease thirteen months before I began taking the Cutieura Remedies, and in four or five weeks was entirely cured. My disease waa ecsema and psoriasis. I recommend the Cutieura Remedies to all In my vicinity, and 1 know of agreac many who have taken them, and thank me for the knowledge of them, especially mothers who have babes with scaly eruptlona on tbeir heads and bodies.

Tracy, who will be Sulli van's umpire, was induced by Charley Johnston to remain over until the I o'clock train to accompany him, and the goo l natured Brooklynite acquiesced. In the Kilrain party there were at least twenty men, exclusive of the ten men in charge of Contractor Lynch, who are to build the ring. Johnstoa, in company with Tracy, passed through the Baltimore man's car and protested against more than the stipulated number going. W. E. Harding, The Police Gazette representative, was not allowed to go on board Kilraiu's car. The conductor waved his hand to the engineer, and with a few fierce snorts the ponderous wheels were revolving swiftly, and the principals for the battle were off for the battlefield. Mike Donovan and Johnny Murphy, Kilrain's second and bottle holder, respectively, came up just as the train disappeared, and had to wait until the 1 o'clock train. At a late hour Bud Benaud received a telegram announcing that the men were on the grounds. JOHN L. SULLIVAN.

While Minnesota reports meteorological conditions favorable and excellent crop prospects, Dakota reports that rain is mfich needed, except in localities, and crops are suffering from drought.

Harvesting was completed in Kentucky, with a fair yield of wheat; corn was reported as excellent and tobaooo Improved. In Tennessee rain retarded harvesting and threshing, but the cotton crop is reported as improved. In Louisiana and Mississippi excessive rains have caused the erops to become grassy, and cotton is greatly In need of cultivation. Texas and Arkansas report too much rain, but the weather was more favorable than that of the previous week. Alabama is the only gulf state reporting favorable weather and all crops in good oonditlon. Excessive rains proved injurious in the middle and tooth Atlantic states, where harvesting has been interrupted, much hay destroyed, and wheat is spoiling in the shock. Rate abo proved injurious to hay and oats in Mew England. Cranberries were also slightly injured by cold, but other crops, including oorn, potatoes, rye and tobacco, are reported in fine condition. 80 -HOW SHE WAS CURED.
