HE OMAHA 1 ;Mfu OR GLORY FOR JOHN Iow the Big Fellow is Preparing for His Most Eventful Ring Meeting, HE REALIZES THE WORK AHEAD OF HIM Sallivan is Not Young Ofhonent—Admired by flundreds of Carious I’ an Jim and the Betting, plo—Gent 2, New Yonk, Aug. —Thore are only a fow duys botween the event which will be a Weterloo to Joha L. Sullivan or the crown- ing glory of his career. Considering his age—nearly 81 yoars—the Loy pace he has run for the last fiftoen years and tho natural effect of approacuing middle ago upon bis magnitiveat physique, he is fine condition. He lacks the elasticity which was au inseparable part of youthfulness, stil he skips the rope with the agility of & young girl. Judging from the care he takes of him- solf and bis obedienco to his trainer, ho fully appreciates tho necessity of being in tho vink of condition, although his naive assur- auoce vaturally leads him to assume that ho has got the “softest thing in his history,” as somo of his sanguine admirers are in the nabit of expressing it. The champion’s stay at Good Ground has been one continual round of adulation. That portion of Loig Island has never had so greata lion o admire, Never bas he ap- penred upon tho plazza but what from fifty 10 un hundrod pairs of oyes ave fastened upon lim. The champion bus become 50 much ac- customed to this adulation that he is sur- feited with it. Uuless a man of more than ordinary importance appears, he pays noat- tention to the many sight-seers who come to #00 him. Besides, John L. Sullivan cannot by the greatest stretch of fancy, ve called a good humrored man. His personality is such thay most men staud in fear of bim. Even his expressions of play- fuiness aro apt 10 wwflict physical pain upo tho recipient. Yet thousands of persous pay exorbitant railrond fares and put themselves 10 great personal nconvenicnce to sco the strong boy from Boston, and would pay al- most any price to enjoy the bliss of shaling his band. But only a very few enjoy this privilege. To the ludies, however, he is courtesy itself. No reasonable request made by one of them remaius unfulfilled. Admired by Hoavy Men, One peculiurity about the visitors here is that they nearly all are big men. The more avordupois a wan has the more admiration ho seems 1o feel for Sullivan. At the present time there are at least a dozen men around n who weigh 200 pounds ov more. 1t would be hard to analyze the motives of these bigz men in coming here, but It is un- aoubtedly for the purposs of coupuring the big fellow with thomselves, with tho idea of lenrning wherein the disparity exists. Asa rule Sullivan is morose. It isonly at excen tional times that he becowss good humored, But it is a wonder that he 18 good humored at_all, considering the petty annoyances to which he is subjected in the way of impudent questipning Here it is that Phil Cnsey gets in his fine work, Heucts as a sort of minister plen potentiary between the crowds and the pugi- listic hero. The women always appear to Mr, Casey to secure them an introduction to the champion. In his moments of loisure Casey 18 & very interesting tulker. He fro- quently sits on the piazza and delivers httle impromptu lectures on training. His points are always fllustrated by a story, Casey re- sortsto all sorts of expedients to koep up the couraze of the champion whilo he is wading through the sand on the hot, dusty road. Korseveral eveuings during tho pas week there have been concerts on the pinzza, Jonhn bas occasionally joiued in with a few iscords which have been respectfully and even admiringly listened to und applauded heartily. Casey 1snot waking any effort 1o bring the champlon down in weight. It was his intention to reduce him to 200 pounds, but he has given up the 1dea and is satified to keep him as near to hus fighting weight as possi- ble. Johu's fighting shoes have arrved, They are made of kangaroo skin and weigh but~ six ounces apiece. When worn in the ring they will be tied with a waxca ena. How Corbett Iy Working. ‘Within the psst week or so Corbett has shifted the covrse of his tralning and has buckled down to steady, hard labor. A fow daysagoJim Daly, bis beavy weizht boxer and training partner, Tetirea and John McVay, the huge Puiludelphin wrestlor, took his place. The reason of this chavge was no weakening on the part of Daly, butCorbett’s desire to handle a man whoso weight would bo more equai Lo that of the big HBostouian, This change bas greatly increased the se- verity of his training, as it requires far nore muscle to handle McVay's 230 pounds than Daly’s 186 Your correspondent was witb Corett and tis trainers receutly, a large portion of one day. As he came upon the grounds, MoVay aud Corbett wero wresthng In the haud bail court, and a hoterogeneous crowd were on the outside peeping through the cracks of a high board partition, which shuts it in. Un- der the oye of Trainer William Delaney, the two giants pushed and tugged and writhed About the court until they were as wet with perspiration as if they had jumed into the river, cloties and all. They left the court, pushing througn o crowd that had been peeping through the cracks, and went into the trim little barn where tho boxer punches the bag. The pugilist stepped up to the loather and sent in volley after volley of such strong, quick, accurate blows, dodgin the rebounding bugso nimbly that uis trainer smiled broadly and nodded siggestiveiy at the knot of spectators. Corbett, has a quick, straignt, sharp blow. He can probubly nit as hard as Sullivau, but he bits intn altogether difterent way. He does not swing us Sullivan does, but strikes straight outlike a flash, recoverine instantly instead of following up the blow with a push In tais way ho will getin two licks where most men would got in one. Jim seldom knocks u man over backward; that is not his stylo. His sharp raps aro inténded to jar his opponent and daze him, Corbett considers bimself in three times s good shape as when he fought Juckson, and has’ every confidenco i his belug a winner, About the Betting, For 80 important a Hight 1t 15 really aston- Ishing to see how very littlo money 1s being oot on the result.

Kitzsimmons starts out on a theatrical tour in September, and after the exviration of his contracts he could very well affora to retire. However, ho 18 not averse to meeting Hall when his other comtrac's do not intorfere. Whon shown the account of the Pritchard fight this morning Kitzsimmons remarked : “I have ropeatedly smd that Hall would win in tour rounds or not at all. Heis clever, but lacks both heart aud staying qualities, If T ever gota chance 1 will do bim in four rounds. He s an inch and a haif taller than me, c'ever as a straight give and take fiebter, but after a couple of rounds he would not be in it with me. Yes, be may have improved, but it is not 1 him to i prove os I have. I know nim well. F him! Yes, when iy theatrical engage allows, and guarantees are given. lha vo a several thousand dollars of sala money, and gone to expenses of traning en- deavoring to flght. 1 huve splenaid terms uhend and cannot afford to eive them up. Hall can get & match between the theatrical seasons," Grifin has reporced at Robertson’s for duty with Carroll to be behind Skelly. itzsimmons still picks Sullivan, MoAuliffo nd Dixon as the winuers, though he thinks Skolly’s height and reach shonld bo of ad- vantage to tim, The Olympio club has for some time past been in correspondence with Parson Davies, and the fuct thatthe latter is coming here with Hall and Jackson sbows that tae Olympics have their lines pretty wel laid for auother fistic carnival about Mardi-Gras time. 13 is proposed to have Corbett and Juckson, itz simmons and Hall, Australian Dawsou, who defeated Neodham, and tho winner of the MoAulifte-Myer fight, and the winner of the Dixon-Skelly match with the winner of the Sol Smith-Johnny Van Heost scrap or Bobby Burns. A fignt for Goddard is ulso beinz figured on, and the outcome may be a groat series of contests. ‘The Olympics say they will ouly match first-class men and give them first-class purses, that being the prin- ciple ubon which they proposs to conduct the sport. JAKE KILERAIN FAVORS SULLIV) Gives Reasons Why He is Betting on the Champion, Bavmotone, Md., Aug. ake Kilrain has pinned his faith and is rapisly patting his money on Sullivan in the coming fight. “I don't see how John can be beaten,” said Jake today. “I know Corbett is a keen, shifty feilow and 3 mighty clever boxor, but 1 shall never believe he is o fiznier until 1 soe him lick somebody. I hear his veople are doing a lot of talking, but you know ho 18 in clever hands. Tois' Brady 1s a tneatrical man, and he is managing Corbett just as he would u theatrical star. He is boosting nim for all ho is wortn, “For my part L want to sce Sullivan win. I thing he deserves well of the people. He is a square, nonest fighter and a man who has always stood up and met everybody. He has uphield the honor of the American people ugainst all comers, and I think they should have a sort of prido in him. In a light box- ing setto for points Corbett, with his lonk reach, might have some advantage of Sulli- van. “I don’t believeJim will stand punishment, If he gets one or two of Sullivan’s stiff bis scionc * will leave him. Corbett’s liuble to go back on him. He hits with bis hand open, I bave always wanted Lo have a go with Corbett mysell to get even on account of ihat New Orleaus affair, When T was in San Francisco 1 gave my opinion of Corbett through the papers, but he would give me no satisfaction and didn’t say a word untii I left tho state.”” PARSON DAVIES COMING HOME, er Jackson Will Chailenge Corbett if He Whips Sullivan, New Youk, Aug. 22.--Charles E. Davies, *‘the Parson,” accompanied by Joe Choynski, will sail for New Pork on the City of Rome August 25, and on their arrival they will at once proceed to New Orleans to witness the pugiiistic contests thers, He says the Sport- ing Life and Sportsman of London will both send representatives 1o New Orleans 1o wit- ness the Sullvan-Corbett fight. Peter Jack- son’s sorc hand is rapidly getting well, and as soon as he lets up sparring it will be all right. Poter weighs 211 pounds now in his fighting costume. He will return with Davies. If Corbott is the wiuner with Sulli- van, Peter will ask bim to make good his promise to meet him. . Enroute for New Orl Catifornia” Billy Wooas, o boxing pro- fessor and fighter of considerable note, got in from the coast a couplo of days since. He is enroute for New Orleaus but stopped off hero with the idea of making a match with Jack Davis. Thore is httle vrospect, how- over, and Woods will leave for the south next week.

Experience of an tnquisitive Traveler Who Ventured Too Near It I was commissioned by the Belgian government, writes k. Kilsworth Carey in the Honolula Advertiser, to tind o certain rare wandering plaut that was believed to grow on the higher slopes of Mauna Kea, a largo extinct voleano situ- ated on the northorn part of Hawaii. I had a station built on one of the wooded slopes of the mountain, far awny from any other habitation, My only com panion was a native who had lived al his life on this part of the islund. About twice a month he would visit the se coust to obtain needful supplies for our comp. This native, who said t his ancestors were *big chiofs,”” whose bones lay secrotly buried in caves on the mountain side, was vesy old, although he could climb canons and scale lava cliffs with wonderful agil During one of my botanizing excurs sions I passed by the mouth of & narrow canon or gorge, and I asked Pili, the ola native. if he had ever explored the same. Pili suddenly becnme interested in his pipe and didn’t. know anything about the guich, and dia not understand vhat [ said. This was rather strange in Pili, for nutives generally know every rock and tree in the section where they live, and I knew Pili was lying when he said he did not understand me. So, naturally, I determined to examine into the mysteérious ravine. Some time after this | was walking with Pili down a gentle slope when I saw a number of bones. Pili stopped. Ho walked buck a few rodsand sat down ona stump. Not a word would he say. 1 began ex amining the bones and for two hours or more puzzled my brain over a problem as I had never dene before. What I found this: A circular area of about 100 yards in “diameter, thickly cov ered with vhe-bleached remains of bird: animals and human beings. These ghastly reiles were scattercd among the shrubs and grass, the larger bones near the center;in fact, I found that the bones became geadually small as J approached ilie periphery of th circular boneynvd:: In the center of the circle was a well like opening in the ground, from which emanated a sicken ing odor. No rvegetation grew within fifty feet of this eawi How came this hole with its “horrible stench? Ilow came these bones'here? How came they to be arranged abgut the central open- ing? These questions continually pre- sented themselves, but they rematned unanswerable. A deep mystery scemed to hang over the spot. It was growing dark., I heard Pili’ calling and hurried to him. He pointed in terror to the center of the bone-covered area. A shadow was throywn on_the scene by a rising bank of clouds. ButIdéclare that I suw rvising ‘from the pit_a visible vapor, a column of visible fog'or smoke or gas that'Was Aitminous. Spellbound, I gazed at_the spectral column. Near the ground it*had the ‘appearance of a phosphorescent flame and gradually be- came fainter as it ascended. Your im- agination will have to picture the un- earthly phenomenon. Pili pulled at my avm, and in silence we left the spot, and we did not loiter by the wayside. As I was looking for a simple plant, and not blood-curdling manifesta- tions, I was inclined to break camp and leave, But by morning my nerves were in better order, and I wi ack to the scene of my evening’s adventure. I could find no clew to the mystery, and the matier gradually went out of my wind as 1 prosecuted my labor: But I had occasion after a time to visit a spot near where I had seen the canon about which Pili was so appar- ently ignovant. Ono evening I made known my intention to Pili the place and to explore the “When?" said Pili. “In the morning,” I replied. Without.a wora the old native arose from his mat on the floor and departed.

After he had completed his strange rites he said that I might never come back, but he had done what he could to preserve my life. He would wait until the going down of the sun, and then, if I did not come back, he would wail for me as did his father, long, long ago, when a son fell in battle. Then he sat down, cove ered up his head, and was silent. All this made me fcel uncomfortable.

OUTGROWTH OF THE BUSCHOFF TRIAL First 0« the Many Suits That Sprang from the Great Cleves Sensat Sk hof the Defendunt's Eveuntfal Carecr, —Short (Copyrighted 189 92 by James rdon Ronnett.] Brruty, Aug, 22 —[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bek.] —As 1 informed vou some days ago, tho celobrated Buschoff case, which has been mado the pretext for so many battles between the Semites and anti- Semites, is to huve an evilogue. The man who was acoused of having slaughtered littlo Johann Logeman has beon acquitted so far as he himsel? is concerned, but we have not yot reachied the end of the Cloves case. The whole matter will shortly be revived in at | least one and provably soveral German courts. Publishers and writers ot injurious comments on the conduct of tho witnesses, counsel and court at Cleves, which have veen printed, aro to be tried tor tibel. They will be cailed upon to prove the alleged cor- ruptness of the experts who helped to ac- quit Buschoff, to demonstrate the charges of dishonesty advanced against tho magistrates concerned and 1o sustain the grave impeach- ment of Jews as Jews coutained in countless heatea articles and pamphlets. The Catholio ress, aud chiefly Germauia, has repeatedly otested against Buschof’s acquittal as a Kross miscarriago of justice. Hardly loss sweeping have been denunciations of the Christian socialist organs. Will Try Oberwindor But the first and most interesting trial will be that of Horr Heinrich O berwinder, the former Austrian editor of Volk and pub- lisher of a pamiphlet agatost the acquittal of Buschoff. On 1ts issue will no dovot depend the outcome of some of the other cases. The close connection which 15 supposed to exist between Oberwinder and Stosker has led to tho former's being regarded as an anu-Semitic bigot. Although he bas joined hands with the foes of Israel in this Clives matter, he is really a stato socialist. Years since, be- fore Herr Stoeker and the present aati- | Semites was one of the most zealous discivles of Frederick Lasulle. With the support of | sume thousands Oberwinder formed a new ana well dritled party with a program of its | own, devoted to the roform of the Austrian | electoral systom. State recognition and the | indepeadence of labor unions were among | the chief points in this program, and in 1565 ! Herr Oberwinder felt strong enough to | muke a public demand for the abandonment of certain government measures hostile to | the natural acvelopment of Austria. Soon | after occurred the great workingmen's dem- onstration of December, 1849, when 40,000 workingmen marched in procession to the Reichsrath house to protest against the ro- striction of the rights of public meeting, Oberwinder was singled out as the sou!l and | intellectual creator of the Austrian socialist | movement and was prosecuted and sen- | tenced. Though sentenced to death, the sentence was eventually quashed by conrt | of cessation. It did much to add to the popularity of the agitation, Son Later. ruases of Oberwinder's strango career have been somewhat chequered. He became entangled in all scrts of quarrels caused by the party rivalries of the German and Austrian radicals and was obliged to go to Paris, where heearnea a somewhat pre- carious livelihood for some years and was denounced to Boulanger by an anarchist agent-provocateur as a creature of Bis- marck’s, Since 1888, when he settied 1 Germany, Herr Oberwinder has been slowly guthering a following. It is not generally known that, Oberwinder was the author of the manifests o the workingmen of Germuny which at- tracted so much attention here two years ago, and which was by most peoplo sup- posed to have been written by Haaz Peter. This document was issuea anonymously and bud such au officiul look that it deceived even Hanz Peter bimself, who kad been com- missioned to prepare a similar circular with the minister of the interior, who was very much incensed at finding, as he fancied, thav he bad been set aside by the emperor. “The editor of Volk is not much liked by thoroughgoiog anti-Semites and he is com- batted Dy the social democrats, How he will fare when he is tried for the alleged libels in the Buschoff pamphlot I cannot tell, but that he will make things very warm for his opponents is certain, Merrz THE PEACE irst. of His Kecent Struggles. oF MEETING CONGRESS.
