r—--. SULLIVAN QUITE SICK. ne Mighty Pugilist Laid Low by 3 Severe Throat Trouble. HIS CONDITION IS SERIQUS. An Operation Has, However, Been Per- formed Which Has Benefited Him Somewhat—A Sketch of the Ca- reer of the Noted Bruiser. NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. 21.—John L. Sullivan was taken ill with tonsilitis at the Manhattan House here. . He became worse and three local physicians were sum- moned. . Dr. H. P. Reynolds of Providence, a personal friend, came here last night and remained with the sufferer all night. ' At midnight Dr. Reynolds detected evi- deuce of a weak pulse and heart failure _ and quickly applied the proper treatment. Sullivan breathed very heavily all night owing to an obstruction in his throat. Early today Drs. Peterson and Reynolds performed an Operation, lancing the swell- ing in the throat. Shortly afterward Sul~ j/ "2.7 ‘ JOHN L. SULLI" AN. livan breathed easier, and\latcr in the day the physicians pronounced. the patient somewhat improved. Peterson says that Sullivan was in great danger during the night and that Dr. Reynolds’ prompt action enabled the big fellow to pull through more comfortably. ' Sullivan’s sister was sent for last night and arrived from Boston today. ’ Sullivan’s Career. There is scarcely a man, woman or child who has not heard of John L. Sullivan and can recount from memory the deeds of prowess of this fistic hero of the arena. The sporting element of the country really mourned when James J. Corbett jabbed away at the big fellow on Sept. 7, 1892, at New Orleans, and finally battered him in- to a helpless and insensible condition. Up to that time Sullivan had been an idol. And to a great extent he is an idol yet, for he occupies a very warm spot in the hearts of those who know him. Sullivan was born in Boston Oct. 15, 1858, and he fought his first real fight in 1880, when he bested Joe Goss in three rounds in the Music hall in BostOn. In the years that followed Sullivan fought all comers, and has earned in all probability a quarter of a million dollars with his burly frame and hard fists. » Today he is a poor man. He was gener- ous to the extent of being prodigal. He lived a pace that was fast and furious, and which ultimately led to his downfall in the ring. Fondness for liquor was Sulli- van’s chief fault. His pocketbook was ever open and a needy friend never went away empty handed. ' . After whipping Joe Goss, Sullivan best- ed George Rooke, Professor John Donald- son, Jack Stewart, Joe Goss (for the sec- ond time), Steve Taylor, John Flood, Fred Crossly, Captain James Dalton and Jack Burns. His first big fight was with Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, Miss. The men fought for $5,000 a side with bare knuckles. and Sullivan won in nine rounds. Victory After Victory. Sullivan met all comers after this and won battle after battle, beating, among others, Charley Mitchell, Herbert Slade, John M. Laflin, Alf Greenfield and Dom- inick McCafircy. In October, 1887, Sulli- van sailed for England and toured the country. On March 10, 1888, Sullivan and Mitchell met for the second time, in Chantilly, France, for $2,500 a side, bare knuckles. The battle was declared a draw after 39 rounds. Sullivan’s next big fight was with Jake Kilrain in a ring near Richburg, Miss. The battle was for $10,000 a side, and Sul- livan won after 75 rounds of fierce fighting. He made his initial appearance on the stage Sept. 1, 1890, in a speaking part, personating James Daly in "Honest Hearts and Willing Hands. ” at Niblo’s Garden, New York. Jim Corbett had loomed up as a fistic star and was touring the country. He challenged Sullivan for the championship. . After much quibbling a match was ar- ranged for $10,000 a side and a $25,000 purse offered by the Olympic club of New Orleans. The battle was fought Sept. 7, 1892. Eight thousand people attended. Corbett’s activity dazed Sullivan, who vainly tried to land upon this wily adver- , sary. In the fifth round Corbett drew blood from his eye and nose, and the cham- pion was clearly beaten, hugging Corbett, who pushed him away. In the remainder of the fight Sullivan was a veritable punch- ing bag, until, in the twenty-first round, the victor mercifully administered a coup de grace. This was Sullivan’s last fight. He stuck to the stage afterward and still continued quite an attraction. His last parts were the leading roles in “ The Man From Bos- ton” and the “True American.” Shoe Manufacturer Fails.

AUBURN, Jan. 21.——John Hoch went .to his death in the electrical chair at a. few minutes before’l o’clock this afternoon. The execution was entirely successful. ,, The crime for which John Hoch paid the death penalty was the murder on July 10, 1895, of an innocent 15-year-old girl, Minnie Ingersoll, who lived with her brother Eugene and an old man named Nicholas Strife at Chapel Hill, a short dis- tance from Lowville. ' Hoch was in love with the girl, but she had repulsed him. and for this he determined to kill I _r. He went to her home on the evening of July 10, secreted himself near the barn, and when the girl and Strife appeared he fired. She was instantly killed and Strife was badly wounded, but recovered. Hoch fled, but was captured the next morning about 3 o’clock by a posse. He was tried at Low- ville and convicted. He was sentenced to die in the prison here Jan. 26, 1896, but an appeal was taken and a new trial granted. The verdict in the second trial was murder in the first degree, and the week beginning Jan. 17 was the time fixed for his electrocution. , IRISH TAX INQUIRY. Government to Complete It and Allow Debate In Commands. LONDON, Jan. 21,—Tjie Times expresses the belief that the royal commission will pursue its inquiry into the financial rela- tions of Ireland.

The Standard (Conservative) declares that many Liberals objected to the main conclusions of the recent commission. The Daily News says that the decision to enter upon a fresh inquiry extricates the Irish members from a dilemma, be- cause the Irish Unionists would have de- clined to support Mr. Blake’s amendment to the address, which was regarded as a vote of censure on the government.
