His backers say that he could have settled him iu twenty rounds bad he Is-en so disposed. 1k Is ttmlly Vserf Vp. It w ill te a long time before Kilrain is tha same man physically that he was at sunrise Monday morning. The muscles of his breast as well as of bis heart are badly hurt, and a prominent physician here says he w ill have stitches in his side whenever he takes an un usually full breath for years to come. Kil rain's left ear is swollen to nearly three times its natural size, the right eye is badly swollen, and there is a nasty cut on the up per lip that gives to that member an un pleasant protruding appearance. Queer Ho mors About Jake. There are queer rumors about Kilrain. After arriving at the club-house Monday night he vomited a greenish sulistance, some of which has been kept for analysis. It is learned that for some time previous to the fight he had bren taking medicine for some aliment Ir. Iougherty, of Philadelphia' wns treating Mm. The doctor says it was for a "Is-iil."

Mike Donovan says be knew nothing about it previous to the fight There seems no doubt that Mitchell knew it Trofeasor Robinson, trainer at the Southern Athletic club, w ho saw the fight, alleges that it was a hippodrome. He says Sullivan could have ended the fight at any time. The men seemed to have an understanding. While all agree that Kilrain was in no condition to fight, few agree with 1'rofessor Kobinson's view. Kil rain was treated rather coolly at the club yesterday morning. Nothing the Matter with John. Outside of a little redness of the skin Sulli van's cast iron chest shows not the slightest trace of Kilrain's blows, and his only marks of punishment are a contused "and swollen ear and a cut over the eye.

Muldoon Gives His Opinion, Also C'ohnrn Mitchell's Mistake. Joe New Olt leans, July 10. William Mui- doon. Sullivan's trainer, said yesterday of iie tWht . '1 .hink it was the greatest fight Sullivan could have fotipht two nuoniiKhJa. if necessary. Ho reserved his Strength by my advice. I eon-dder Kilrain the best heavyweight fighter living, next to Sullivan. He is game and determined, and had he fought on bis own judgment, and not on the cowardly and tricky advice of the men behind him, he would have won ad miration instead of his-ies. I think he was overtrained for a fight in this climate. I allowed my man seven iHiunds to lose in the fight, and he lost just six and a quarter. He was not a bit tired nor injured I have always wanted to prove to the public that he U a natural born lighter and eoul. 1 li'ht a long and scicntillc battle if properly handled. Now that I have done that I am through with ring fights. I think Mixing a grand exercise, but ring fighting is too brutal, and I want to see no more of it." Colin rn Also Has Views. Joe Coliurn thought the fight was a moat excellent exhibition of the manly art. He looks ii win Sullivan aa a perfect wonder and lieyond nil perad venture the greatest fighter iu the world. At first be was surprised that Sullivan had not knocked out Kilrain much sooner thau he did, but this was satisfactor ily explained when the injury to the cham pion's left band was made known. He did not think Sullivan as good a man Monday as be bad seen him in other years, but was sat isfied that he would never be asked into the arena agnin. A Compliment to the Trainer. His training under Muldoon and Cleary wns admirable, its result surpassing all ex pectation, especially as when first put to work lie was in a wretched condition. There was then nothing of him but life, and Mul doon, instead of training him at once, nursed him as if he was a child. Cobiim calculates that Sullivan's share of Monday's mill will net him about (J0,000, exclusive of the cham pion belt. Charley Overrated Jake. New Orleans, July 10. In an interview Moniluy night Charley Mitchell said: "I made the mistake ef overrating Kilrain. In Ins fight with Jem Smith be did some good work, and I thought he would Improve it, but be did not, and that is all there is about It. Donovan threw up the sponge to save him further punishment. He hail no chance of besting Sullivan. Kilrain is a plucky and game fighter, but he was outclassed. " POSITIONS IN THE CENSUS OFFICE.

ATAL COLLAPSE OF A BRIDGE. Thirty or Forty People Thrown Into the Rushing Torrent, but the Number Drowned Unknown The Telegraph Wires Destroyed While the Cloud-tturst Works Great Havoc Over a Section of the Em pire State Heavy Damages to Fruit nd Other Property. Albany, N. Y., July 10. A special from Johnstown, N. Y., last evening reports that heavy rain has been fulling since early yesterday afternoon. The downpour caused the Cayudotta creek to become a raging tor bent, which soon burst its bounds. Two dams gave way, being unable to withstand the enormous pressure. On swept the tor rent, taking with it the several skin factories along its banks, valued at many hundreds of ollars. A number of buildings and out houses were also swept away. The Fonda, ibnstown and Oloversville railroad loses loine seven or eight bridges. A Possibly Terrible Disaster. There was another bridge crossing the reek, and on it viewing the flood were some thirty or forty peoi.la T!e torrent with in creased power tore the bridge from its foundations, hurling them into the seething lood beneath. At this writing it is impoasi- le to ascertain the number saved, but it is tielieved that many of them perished. Communication Cut OH. At Fonda the Central Hudson railroad uriilge was carried away almost bodily, taking with it the telegraph wires, so that it Is almost Impossible to bold communica ion iet ween Fonda and the surrounding towns. The electric light works situated a few miles from Johnstown were fl.ioded and the town was in darkness. Information from Fonda says the water is some three feet deep in the streets. Rain is still falling. AN EXTENSIVE DISASTER. Heavy Rains Near Amsterdam but the Telegraph Wires Down. Saratoga, N. Y., July 10. Amsterdam, N. Y., reports an exceedingly heavy rain storm iu that section just before communica tion was cut off. Aiken is on the New York Central, and a creek which furnishes pow-er to several mills runs through the place. In the bitter case it is just possible that the heavy cloud-burst reported may have so swollen this stream as to cause a disastrous overflow. Other reports assign the reported disaster to a cyclone, but the heavy rain in that sect ion aflirms lieyond doubt that the visitation has been by fl.xl. Efforts to com municate Kith any point within the localities are unavailing. But what has been learned so far leads to the impression that the acci dent is of the most serious character, involv ing extensive hisses. Schenectady Hears of It. Schenectadv, N. Y., July 10. A cloud burst washed away the New York Central railroad tracks between Aikens and Tribes stations, about five miles west of Amster dam, yesterday afternoon, causing another delay to all trains. The wreck of a freight train, which blocked all four tracks in the morning, bad just been cleared, nnd de layed trains had begun to move both east and west, when some of them were caught by this new mishap, and a second blockade occurred, more serious than the first. It is impossible to learn here how bad the break ia, or how long it will take to reair it. Some of the trains hurrying to make up lost time narrowly escaped the cloud-burst, but al 1 did escape it. One house was partially washed away, but no lives have been hsU Ronndont Inundated. Ron doi t, N. Y., July 10. The biggest storm of the summer visited the Hudson valley between 5 and 6 o'clock last evening.

Hail stones as large as hazel nuts fell in large quantities, crushing through panes of glass like bullets. (rent Iamas;e to Fruits. Reports from the fruit-growing llt state that much damage was done to small fruits, especially to plums and grapes. The heavy rain also spoiled thousands of berry vines.

The difficulty between Costa Rica ami Nicaragua is of considerabls interest in Paris because the Panama canal is mixed np in it, Cost Rica having been in duced by persons holding what is left of the scheme in their hands to claim territory that has heretofore lieen held by Nicaragua.
