EPILEPSY. ig An account cf the only rational mode of treat- ment. Pamphlet edition, 10c. Dr. IAMSON, New London, Gonn. 421-1m Potomac Post and Relief Corps. Last evening, at their hall, 610 G street northwest, Potomac Post, No. 18, and Poto- mac Relief Corps, No. 2, held a public in- stallation of officers-elect. The hall was filled to overfiowing with comrades and friends, women predominating. Master Officer Gilman installed E. Dal- rymple, senior vice; R. H. Morgan, junior vice; W. H. Himrod, surgeon; W. L. Small- hoff, quartermaster, J. W. Weiss, officer of the day; C. Mott, officer of the guard; Don C. Cameron, chaplain. Butler Fitch, colonel-elect, confined to his bed by sickness, was unable to be present. For the relief corps, Miss Brookfield in- stalled Mrs. Overaker, president; Mrs. Ed- gar, senior vice; Mrs. Thompson, junior vice; Anna M. Hamilton, secretary; Rachel Levy, treasurer; Mrs. Lee, chaplain; Mrs. La Porte, conductor; Mrs. Harris, guard; Mrs. Noerr, assistant conductor. After a five minutes’ recess, the following responded to calls from Acting Col. Robb, and added to an enjoyable evening with re- marks, papers and recitations: Mrs. Cham- bers, Col. Thompson, Col. Gilmore, Surgeon Himrod, Harriet L. Cameron, Col. Johnson, Col. Decker, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Starkey, Dr. Hayes and Col. Robb. a Funeral of E. P. Miller. The funeral of the late E. P. Miller, the venerable father of Judge Thos. F. Miller, who died at his residence, 1422 11th street northwest, on Monday, took place this afternoon from the Gunton Memorial Pres- byterian Church. The remains were in a handsome cloth-covered casket with silver trimmings and plate and on it were floral tributes of loving friends. They were borne to the hearse at the residence by the pall- bearers, Charles Miller, G. W. Young, B. D. Crammer, M. S. Thompson, C. Maurice Smith and A. R. Williams, and, followed by the immediate family, were taken to the church, in which he had long been a com- municant. Here were assembled a large number of friends and acquaintances of the family, and the services, which were quite impressive, were corducted by Rev. Dr, Patch, who paid a deserved tribute to a quiet, unassuming, useful citizen, thirty years of whose life had been spent in the government service (the quartermaster gen- eral’s office). After the services the re- mains were taken to Oak Hill cemetery for interment. —_. A Question of Badges. A question was recently presented to Maj. Gen. Schofield as to whether, under the army regulations, it would be proper for an officer of the army to accept a gold badge of the Regular Army and Navy Union. In passing on the question Gen. Schofield called attention to the spirit of section 1784, Revised Statutes, which reads as follows: “No officer, clerk or employe in the United States government employ shall at any time solicit contributions from other offi- cers, clerks or employes in the government service for a gift or present to those in a superior official position; nor shall any such officials or clerical superiors receive anv gift or present offered or presented to them as a contribution from persons in yovern- ment employ receiving a less salary than themselves; nor shall any officer or clerk make any donation as a gift or present to any official superior. Every person who violates this section shall be summarily discharged from the government employ.” ——+o+____ Acting Hospital Stewards. The Secretary of War has rescinded the provisions of circular No. 2 of 1889 directing that acting hospital stewards be borne on the muster rolls as privates. Hereafter they will be borne on muster rolls as “act- ing hospital stewards.” VAILLANT CONVICTED The Bomb Thrower of the Chamber of Deputies. COURT GUARDED BY ARMED MEN. The Prisoner Proud of His Posi- tion, OTHER FOREIGN MATTERS. PARIS, Jan. 10.—The trial of Auguste Vaillant, the anarchist who threw the bomb in the chamber of deputies on ve- cember 9 last, opened before President Judge Casee and a jury in the assize court today. Policemen, in couples and threes, were stationed every ten yards around he immense block occupied by the palace of justice, in which the court sits. ivery door of the palace was shut and guarded by sentinels with fixed bayonets. Nobody was admitted unless he had a special card of identity. At 11:40 o’clock an usher announced: “The court; all rise.” The crowd in the court room who nad been lucky enough to get seats stood up as the judges entered. Grave and serious-look- robes and black gold-braided caps, walkei | Slowly to the bench. The procession was | headed by President Casee.’ As soon as the court was seated M. Bertrand, standing be- fore the right of the bench, asked the court to appoint an additional juryman to re- Place M. Jugie, who was ill and unabie to be present. A doctor's certificate to this effect was presented, and the court excused M. Jugie. An usher verified the presence of the jurymen. Those present in the court room watched the movement made by any of the principals in the case with feverish in- terest. Vaillant Glories in His Position. ‘The cynosure of all eyes was the pris- oner, who stood in the dock with an officer on each side of him. He was, like Rav- achol, entirely self-possessed and gazed about thé court room as though he gloried in the interest he was creating. Several times he seemed to be seeking the eyes of somebody, specially scrutinizing the people who were standing at the back of the court room. At exactly 12 o'clock Presiding Judge Casee began to question Vaillant as to his name, age, profession and residence. The prisoner gave his age as thirty-two years. He answered the questions calmly and readily. After this formality had been complied with Judge Casee read the names of the jurymen. M. Rothschild’s name was not on the list, despite the assertions made that he was to be one of the jurors. Registrar Hovoch then read the acte d’ acusation, which charged Vaillant with a premeditated attempt at assassination coupled with an endeavor to destroy the ex-chamber of deputies. The acte d’ acu- sation furthermore recited the details of the event and the evidence given before the examining magistrate. The Story of the Outrage. Judge Casee reviewed the details of the manufacture of the bomb, Vaillant’s visit to the chamber and his throwing of the bomb. He said the people who had been hurt the most were not members of the chamber of deputies, but spectators of the proceedings. “That was not my fault,” retorted Vail- lant. “The deputies are in the highest degree respor sible for the social misery prevail- ing. It was them I meant should feel the responsibility.” When questioned as to his attempt to es- cape during the confusion following the ex- plosion, Vaillant denied the story that a sentinel had stopped him at the door by threatening to-pierce him with his bayonet if he advanced a step. The prisoner de- clared energetically that he did not wish to Mee and even if hé ‘had ‘tt would have been utterly impossible for him to have dane so, because he was wounded in the leg. When the judge came to the recital of the relations that had existed between Vaillant and Madame Marchand the pris- oner denied that he had taken furniture or money belonging to the woman’s husband. Madame Marchand had left her husband because the latter ill-treated her. She was without money, and when she went to live with him (Vaillant) she brought nothing belonging to M. Marchand. Vaillant was emphatic in his denial of the statement that he had taken Mar- chand’s property, as well as his wife, evi- dently considering the former charge to be a dishonorable one. He said he desired to clear himself of this reproach. When asked how he obtained money he replied: “As I declared before the examin- ing magistrate I repeat now. A burglar gave me 100 francs.” The judge stigmatized Vaillant’s subter- fuge to obtain entrance to the chamber of deputies as a fraud. Vaillant assented that it was. Judge Casee here read ex- tracts from the prisoner’s declarations to the effect that he had become convinced by studying philosophical works, including those of Herbert Spencer, that anarchism was the logical outcome of the oppression of the poor by modern society. In regard to the outrage the prisoner explained that he had chosen the chamber of deputies as the place to throw the bomb in order not to hurt innocent persons, Unfortunately he did not succeed. Vaillant declared that his purpose was to wound many, not to kill. Vaillant Found Guilty. Vaillant was found guilty and sentenced to death. When the sentence was pro- nounced upon him he ehouted “Vive l’an- archie!” Fired on the Mob. ROME, Jan. 10.—Last evening a mob gathered in Corato, a city in the province of Bari, and proceeded to the office of the mayor, which was quickly surrounded by the crowd. The windows in the building were smashed and when the troops who had been called upon to disperse the rioters made thelr appearance they were met with volleys of stones and other missiles. Find- ing ali other means unavailing the officer in command of the soldiers gave the order to fire upon the crowd. The order was obeyed with the result that seven of the rioters were killed and many wounded. Late Advices From Tonga. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 10.—Advices from Tonga received by the Australian steamer tell of the deposition of Premier George W. Tukuapo by the king, and several appoint- ments having been made on recommenda- tion of Rev. Shirley Baker, whose return and ascension to power would be welcomed by a great many native leaders. After the dismissal of the ministry, one of the mem- at him as he passed in a boat, but the next moraing the minister called upon the king and made an apology, which his majesty graciously accepted and the matter ended there. Another Papal Encyclical. ROME, Jan. 10.—The pope wiil shortly publish a jubilee encyclical, which will be @ political, religious and social testament. The raphort between France and the Vati- can 1s improving. The pope is greatly pleased with the attitude assumed by M. Casimir-Perier, the French prime minister, toward the Vatican. Cardinal Rampolla, pontificial secretary of state, will send to Monsignor Ferrata, the papal nuncio at Paris, conciliatory instructions in connec- tion with the late encyclical relative to biblical instruction. Included in the Omladina Indictment. LONDON, Jan. 10.—The Vienna corres- pondent of the Daily News telegraphs: ‘The }Omladina indictment shows that the number of the accused is seventy-seven. Mr. Vas’ name is not included. The majority of the accused are between seventeen and twenty. Among them are workmen, students and several journalists. They had branches in every Bohemian city. The society was. or- ganized on the anarchist system in groups of five. The supreme power rested in a dictator and a council of five.” Polish Rioters on Trial. CRACOW, Poland, Jan. 10.—The trial was opened Monday of more than one hundred peasants, men and women, from several ing the five judges, attired in their red} bers insulted the king and fired three shots | different villages, charged with rioting in opposing government officials who were en- forcing cholera regulations. Armed opposi- tion to the officials had been p! be- forehand, the municipal authorities them- selves fomenting the offenses, which were committed a month ago. Betraying Fellow Anarchists, BARCELONA, Jan. 10.—Santiago Salva- dor, who was arrested at Sargossa, and who confessed that he was the author of the bomb explosion in the Lyceum Theater, in this city, was further examined today. He declared that one Baccherini and another attended a meeting in the bull ring in Bar- celona, with explosives, intending to blow up the building, and in the confusion that would ensue to sack the town. The con- spirators disagreed, and the plot was abor- tive. Baccherini and the other leader were immediately arrested. Italy Fortifying. LONDON, Jan. 10.—A news agency in this city has the following dispatch from Venice: The Gaz2tta Di Venezia states that the Italian government has ordered the immediate completion of batteries on the shores of the Tyrrhenian sea (that part of the Mediterranean between the Islands of Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily on the west and the Italian peninsula on the east), it having sufficient evidence that France is abetting in the revolt of Sicily. The Mysterio Scott Heard From. London, Jan, 10.—The Central News says that Alfred J: Monson, who was recently practically acquitted at Edinburgh of the charge of murdering Lieut. Hambrough, received this morning the following letter from “Scott,” the mysterious individual who was indicted with him, but who dis- appeared: “Now that the excitement of your trial has subsided, I intend to give myself up. I sec by the papers that you are publishing a book. I send you my diary that I have kept since I left Ardlamont up to the pres- ent time. Include it in your book. It will doubtless interest, astonish or amuse the public.” Minor Forcign Matters. LONDON, Jan. 10.—The Dally News’ Vien- na correspondent reports the death of Ben-' edict Randhartzinger, the musical composer, at the age of ninety-two. Herr Randhart- zinger was a warm friend of Schubert and the teacher of Liszt. It is stated that the Argentine government intends to destroy notes of the nominal val- ue of half a million dollars per month. , It 1s learned that in the recent storm in the Black sea among the many casualties were the wreck of four steamships—one English, a Greek and two Russian vessels, The crews of the steamers were saved. Three hundred Grisoutine cartridges have been stolen from the Roche & Firminy Mining Company. An Italian ana-cu. named Quaglierl has been arrested at Valence-Sur-Rhone. Baron Arthur Rothschild was robbed of his pocketbook, containing 14,000 francs, in the railway station at Toulon Saturday. . saan Se Maan ANOTHER GAMA MANIFESTO. Peixoto Charged With Putting Nlegal Devices on the Currency. NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—A special to the Herald from Montevideo, Uruguay, says: Admiral Saldanho Da Gama in his second nanifesto charges President Peixoto with ordering the issuance of paper money which will bear the imprint of imperial figures that were ordered to be destroyed when the republic was formed. The manifesto also appeals to the citi- zens of Rio and all of Brazil to rise against the military tyrant and declares he is in favor of a republic with civilian and not a military head. With the words “Viva Revolucon, Death to Jacobinism,” the manifesto ends. Thus Da Gama endeavors to explatti away the charges that he favors a mon- archy. The government has received in the last two days a protest from the dean of thé diplomatic corps against the danger the war ships of several nations are exposed to by the explosion of shells and shots from the rival combatants. In commenting on this protest foreigners and natives ask why the foreign ships remain in exposed positions. The anchorage they select af- fords an opportunity for the rebel ships to He behind them, thus bringing the foreign- ers directly in the line of fire. It is sug- gested that the foreign vessels should move their positions and give the government an opportunity to fire on the rebel fleet. Stray shells and shots for several nights have fallen in crowded parts of the city. Many persons have been wounded and much property damaged. It is reported that the commanders of foreign war ships have notified Admiral Da Gama that he must not use his big guns on the city. This procedure is farcical, as the missiles from the machine guns are more harmful in action. LONDON, Jan. 10.—A special dispatch from Lisbon to the United Press says that’ the Brazilian government was never stronger than it was when President Peix- oto was reported to have resigned. The latest mail advices from Rio Janeiro are to the effect that in addition to its land forces the government has seven ships at Pernambuco and two, the cruiser Tira- dantes and the monitor Bahia, in the south. Ammunition for Mello Seized. NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—The Press says: The Red D line steamship Maracaybo did not sail for Venezuela yesterday. She was scheduled to leave her dock at Pierpont stores, Brooklyn, at 9 o’clock in the morn- ing. Through a discovery made by Super- intendent Dallet the starting was delayed until this morning. Over 300,000 rifle car- tridges destined for Admiral Mello, which had been smuggled aboard, were seized by the superintendent and removed to the office on the dock. LISBON, Jan. 10.—The report that Presi- dent Peixoto of Brazil has resigned is er- Troneous, . —__. NOTIFIED TO ATTEND. Action Regarding Republican Hold- overs by New Jersey Democrats. TRENTON, N. J., Jan, 10.—The session of the democratic senate was opened with Prayer this morning. President Adrian always stands during prayer, with head bowed reverently. Yesterday the formality of opening with prayer was omitted. In the excitement it was forgotten. The roll call showed that Senators Miller and Per- kins were absent this morning. « Senator Duly offered a resolution direct- ing the sergeant-at-arms to notify the four republican holdovers, Hoffman, Skirm, Smith and Stokes, to attend the session at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The resolution was adopted without dis- cussion. If the four senators in question do not appear tomorrow they are to be brought in under arrest. A communication was received from the state controller announcing that the con- tract for the current printing of the legis- ture had been awarded to the John L. Murphy Publishing Company of Trenton. (The democratic senate then adjourned until 10:30 tomorrow morning. _ EXCITEMENT AT SANTA FE. A Mexican Shot and Killed While Re- sisting Arrest. SANTA FE, N. M., Jan. W.--Great excite- ment prevails among the Mexican citizens as the result of the killing of Hyppolite Vigil yesterday. He and five others were arrest- ed yesterday on a bench warrant secured on new information charging -him with the murder of Sheriff Chaves, which occurred May 2), 182. Vigil, it is alleged, while re- sisting arrest, was shot. and killed by a member of the sheriif’s posse. Gov. Thorn- ton has called out the militia to guard the jail in which the prisoners have been con- fined in anticipation of an attempt at a jail delivery. eee PROTECTION WANTED, The Board of Trade of Manch H., Sends a Committee to Wa MANCHESTER, N. H., Jan. 10.—At the annual meeting of the board of trade last night a petition signed by the agents of the several cotton, woolen and_ hosiery mills, shoe manufacturers and business men was presented asking the board, either by circulating a petition or otherwise, to ask Congress to modify the Wilson tariff bill. In reference to this bill the board of trade adopted a resolution to Congress pe- titioning that duties on imports be so fixed as not to stimulate importations at the ex- pense of the American producers. A committee of three was appointed to proceed to Washington to present the views of the board to Congress. The other boards of trade of the state were asked to take similar action, MEDALS OF HONOR. The New Assistant Secretary of War Talks on the Subject. He Thinks More Care Should Be Ex- ercised in Regard to Proofs of Exceptional Gallantry. It has been said in various quarters that Assistant Secretary Doe proposed the in- auguration of a radical reform in the mat- ter of awarding medals of honor to army officers for distinguished services. In order to obtain authentic information on the subject a Star reporter interviewed Gen. Doe today. Acts Beyond the Call of Duty. “It is the opinion of the present assistant secretary of war,” he said, “that congress- ional medals of honor were not intended to be given to officers for leading their com- mands in action, no matter what measure of gallantry may have been shown in such leadership. In! his view of the law these medals were intended as rewards for con- spicuous acts of personal bravery or self- sacrifice beyond the mere call of duty, and net for acts wholly within the line of of- ficial duty, however nobly performed. There are very many cases where the records show most gallant and meritorious serv- ice, but which are yet not within either the letter.or the spirit of the law upon this subject. Medals of honor were intended by Congress for officers or men who have, as before stated, done something more than what is expected of every faithful soldier, and the mere fact that this expectation has sometimes failed and that all soldiers are rot equally faithful, brave and gallant ‘does not entitle an officer or man who sim- ply did his whole duty to an honor of this description. It is also true that nearly all, if not all, of the officers of the volunteer army entitled to such reward have long af been rewarded—some of them again and again+-for conspicuous bravery on the field of battle. Indian Engagements. “The new dssistant secretary also thinks that too little attention has heretofore been paid to the gallantry of officers and enlisted men in Indian engagements. It is one thing, he thinks, to face a brave and honorable foe in civilized warfare, in which wounded pris- oners are at least supposed to be cared for epee rae =e ~ FOR RENT (Miscellaneous) .

Frank Ives defeated George Slosson in the second game of the six-day tournament and all prisoners treated as prisoners cf | at Central Music Hall, Chicago, last night, war, and quite another thing to engage in @ greatly despised, but much more danger- ous service in which it = a eave a maxim of the trooper or other soldier serve the last shot for himself. ‘he assist- ant secretary is a little severe on the news- papers, perhaps, in saying that the press is Partly to blame for the fact that people gen- erally-Know: too little of the hardships Patiently borne, the self-sacriticing spirit and the fidelity to duty and honor, without the hope or expectation of reward other |. than the consciousness of well-doing and the respect and appreciation of one’s comrades, which has characterized so many of the officers and men of our army in the almost constant skirmishing and struggling with the Indians in the west since the war. More Care as to Proofs. “While no statute of lmitations. should be tolerated in regard to a question of re- ward tendered by an appreciative govern- ment for special acts of most conspicuous personal bravery or self-sacrifice, and no well-authenticated case should be ignored because of the lapse of time alone, yet it seems as though, after nearly thirty years, considerations in regard to the memory or lack of memory of witnesses, to the failure of the reliability of most classes of testi- mony, which have such great weight in the courts in establishing any question of fact, ought to render those having this matter in more and more careful in regard to proofs, Othetwise the natural and neces- sary result is an indiscriminate, unfair and unwise distribution of what was intended by Congress to be a mark of the highest distinction and the defeat of the clearly ex- pressed will of Congress, by making such mark of bravery and appreciation a thing of little value, if not an object of scorn. Bravery and fidelity to duty are the char- acteristics of American soldiers, and it cannot be that Congress had no more in view in establishing the medal of honor to be awarded to those who should most dis- Unguish themselves’ in action. Where nearly all are distinguished for bravery and faithfulness, to most distinguish one’s self some act of heroism, of intelligent and open-eyed self-sacrifice is n ! 1 the young man making the splendid run of 487 on the anchor nurse. The score was Ives, 600; Slosson, 160. The crowd was not as large as that of Monday night, but those who saw the game were not disappointed, as first-class bil- ‘ards were shown by both artists from start to finish. Ives won the lead, but accomplished nothing, and Slosson only went one better. In ‘the second inning the “Napoleon” made a start which promised to develop into a run of no mean proportions. He gathered the balls well in hand, but misjudged a draw shot, giving place to Slosson. The gentleman from New York changed his cue, using one which had a new tip, and said he felt like winning the second game if the balls rolled decently for him. It certainly looked that way when he be- gan to chase the balis at the upper end of the table from rail to rail. He played with less stiffness than Monday night and went out with 72 to his credit, missing a kiss shot because he judged the cue ball to be frozen to the cushion. The young Napoleon was not to be out- done, however, when it came to making a run. He counted as far as 76 on miscella- neous billiards, failing short on an easy draw. Slosson’s score in the same inning was 9, but he did his best to touch the balls on a difficult center-table masse. Ives stayed at the table in the fourth in- ning until 22 had been called by Charles Matthews. He made a bad miss on an at- tempt to get the balis together by a round- the-table shot. - Slosson’s turn came for another run. He gathered the balls with a Schaefer-like shot, a@ great laugh greeting his narrow escape from being kissed off. In this inning Slos- son was awarded an outburst of applause for making the greatest cushion carom which has been seen at this or the last Schafer-Ives tournament. The balls were near the corner at the upper end, but the only way he could count was to make a two-cushion carom from the other end of the table. He did it to perfection. On the seventy-third shot he would have been re- that either beyond or entirely pears Ape tired but for a scratch. He stopped at 87. the strict line of duty.” ——+2-+______ Leaves for Treasury Clerks.

H. McKim and A. D. Mayo, and a paper was read by Miss Mary Baldwin. This put him in the lead, with 55 to spare. Another exhibition of anchor-nurse bil- Mards was given by Ives in the sixth in- ning. After the play had become monoto- nous some of the spectators left the house. The special interest of those who remained seemed to be not so much in watching the walking of the player from one side of the table to the other and the movement of the cue as in applauding the century calls of Charlie Matthews. Slosson sat down, foid- ed his arms and smiled philosophically as Ives rolied up the hundreds. “The anchor must go,” he said. “The only game is cushion caroms and the peo- ple must get educated up to the game.” At 31 Ives had the balls perfectly anchor- ed and scored 101 without moving them a fraction of an inch. At 132 the balls froze on him and he was compelled to masse, breaking the anchor. Another freeze con- fronted him after two shots and he broke the balls still more on a masse to extricate himself. The Napoleon, however, had set his heart on running the game out with the tiresome combination of pedestrianism and ball touching. At the one hundred and forty-fourth shot, twelve from the time the balls were frozen, he had put the red and white in the invisible pocket made by wabbling the balls against the cushion. ‘When a perfect anchor was assured the New Yorker started 4 laugh by making a Play to encase his cue, The monotony was broken at 428, after Ives had scored 284 consecutive shots at anchor. The balls froze and at 430 he got on the wrong side of the balls. They broke badly, and that was the end of the anchor for the night. The spectators were glad, because from that time on to the end of the game they were treated to some spen- did billiards all over the table. A long draw with the left hand in the center of the table was the feature. In running out the game in six innings Ives tied Schaefer's record average of 100, made in New York. Following is the score by innings: Ives, 0, 15, 76, 22, 0, 487—G00; runs, 487; average, 100. Slosson, 1, 72, 9, 87, 0-169; high runs, 87; average, 33 4-5. dasent ae JOHN L. KNOCKED INSENSIBLE. Mrs. Sal vam Hit Her Husband Harder Than She Intended. A story leaked out here today, says a Buffalo special, that will create no small sensation among the admirers of Pugilist John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion. It all happened last Sunday morning, and Sulli- van'’s wife was the one who put him to sleep. Sullivan played “The Man From Boston” at the Court Street Theater last week, and after the show Saturday night went out to do the town in company with a party of local sporting men. He drank heavily, keeping up a stiff rate until 3 o’clock in the morning, when he was driv- en to his hotel. A porter assisted him to his room and soon after a great racket of breaking furni- ture and china was heard. John’s wife had chided him and he in return had assaulted her. She defended herself with an Indian club, knocking her husband insensibie. She tried to restore him to consciousness, but met with no success. Then she became frightened, and rushing down stairs in her night dress shout ‘Send for a doctor, Mr. Sullivan is dying. At the same time she cried hysterically and fell to the floor in a faint. A messen- ger was dispatched for a physician, and Dr. Lewis hastened to the hotel. He found Sul- livan on the floor of his room still uncon- scious, and it was daylight before the big fellow opened his eyes and showed any signs of life whatever. He was insensible for over an hour after the arrival of the physician. Mrs. Sullivan said she struck her husband harder than she intended. The doctor said that Sullivan had a narrow escape from death. All the parties concerned in the affair were pledged to secrecy, and the story was kept quiet until today. It is said that Mrs. Sullivan was once a “strong woman” before she married the pugilist. She used to swing clubs and lift heavy weights. ——_+e-+ _____ Defaulted to Von der Ahe.
