SULLIVAN AND CORBETT. IHB MAN FROM BOSTON SAYS HE WAS NOT FAIRLY WHIPPED. Be Asks Another chance to Wtn-Cor bett Accuses Sullivan of Ingratitude and Says He Will Accommodate Him. The Ex-cbamplon Said to bs Losing His Mind—lce Yachting and Skating. From the Baltimore Sun. New York, Dec. 26.—John L. Sullivan arrived from Washington yesterday. The ex-champion pugilist looked very much dejected. Many persons who saw Sullivan enter the hotel thought that his unhappy mood was due to the sudden attack of ill. ne:s be bad in W ashtogton on Sunday morn ing. There was something more heavy than fat around John L.’s heart, and it soon came to the surface. He declared for the first time since his fight with Corbett in New Orleans that he ettnbuted his defeat to other than his oonqueror’s superior fistic ability. Sullivan said, taking a locket from his watch chain: “See that locket? Well, I open it end show you my mother’s hair. Well, I swear by that bit of hair that I was foully treated in New Orleans when I t ugtit Cornett. He never defeated me. No, never. Others did win the battle for him. 1 was not John L. Sullivan that night. After the first two rounds I oould not see Corbett. I did not know where he was. I was in a trance.” “That leg.” continued Sullivan, pointing to hie left, “has never been the same sinoe 1 fought in New Orleans and the other ia little better. Corbett did not knock me out. He knocked me down but 1 could uot gee up. My legs would not hold my body. They were powerless and had evidently been doctored. I was treated badly, yes, shamefully. One man who pretended to be my friend and backer I bave found out to be an enemy in disguise. He is responsible for my defeat. He is supposed to bave had a part of my stake. As God it my judge, that man did not have a cent bet on me. pie backed me with money belong ing to another man. while he posed as my fiuancial ally. The combina tion in New Orleans at tbs time of the Olympic Club’s carnival was MoAuliffe. Dixon and Sullivan. I was the biggest favorite of the three and was beaten for the benefit of the gamblers. Well, you can say for me, I will be champion of the world again. Corbett oannot beat me. I will fight nim cnce more. I can get lota of backing. Notwithstanding reports to the contrary-, I am just as strong as I ever was in my life, with the exception of my legs. 1 admit that I cannot fight as well as I used to, but I can fight well enough to beat Cor bett. “I intend to fight Corbett after my the atrical engagements are over. I will go to Hot Springs and train there for two months. i will boil all the bad stuff out of my system, harden my muscles and be as fit to fight for the championship almost as we!l as ever in my life.” Sullivan asked the Herald reporter, to whom he told the above story, to withhold fur the present the name of the backer whom he claimed bad played him falsely. CORBETT SAYS HE IS WILLING. Syracuse, N. Y., Deo. 26.—Champion James J. Corbett was shown a published in terview with ex-Cbampion John L. Sullivan this afternoon. He was clearly disgusted with what the ex champion said. He made the following reply: “Well, that is a nice way for a man to talk after I have done him nothing but kindness ever since I whipped him at New Orleans. I have said good words for him all over the country wherever I have been. After the fight at New Orleans I sparred at his benefit and offered him SI,OOO, but ho would not ac cept it. To show whether heisafraidof me or net. be sent six men to me to ask me not to hit him hard I could have made a show of him before bis friends and made a name for myself, and this is the way I am paid. He has always talked about other men not fighting, but talking instead. ‘Now, if he does not think he was fairly whipped I will give him a chance in October, but he must sig:i the articles of agreement now. 1 don’t want to bave him wait until I have signed to fight some one else and then step in and do his talking I am about tired of say ing good things about him, and then have him turn around and try to take the credit away from me by talking in this manner. 1 do not think there is a man on top of the earth that can whip me. And you may write it down that John I* Sullivan will never be cbanipion again as long as I live. I think 1 can whip him in four rounds, and would be willing to wager on it. “He need not make the excuse that he has no money to wager, as I will fight without any wager, simply for a purse. Or I will put up SIO,OOO or any amount that he desires that l can whip him. His backers and everybody else treated him fairly, and it is a shams for him to talk so of people who did everything they oould for him. He is trying to get sympathy. If be was drugged at New Orleaue I do not know anything about it, and he does not say that I do. I do not, therefore, see why fe: —\euld talk as he does about me. He w rm orrt drugged. He has my answer, and be can have a match in October. He will fight from the beginning, too, and there will be no vpitlng the next time. “I can whip him much quicker than I can whip Mitchell. If he wants to fight, I’ll give him the first show, as I do not want the honor of being the cleverest fighter in the world if I’m not entitled to it. I can whip Sullivun thoroughly and quick, and no one who has a dollar will sav that I can not. If Sullivan means busiusss, let him put his name to a contract at ones and stop talking;” . - \ *’ - - A GHASTLY CHRISTMAS GIFT. A Human Hand Sent by Mail to a Requester Woman. From the Philadelohia Timet. Rochester, N. Y., Deo. 26.-A loud soreara of horror and fear, followed by a prolonged fainting spell, greeted the ar rival of a Christmas present on the morn ing of the 25th, the reoipient being Miss Estelle liobu.son of this oity, who resides with a married sister on the outskirts of town. The gift that can e l this consternation was an odd and ghastly one In the shape of a human hand, perfectly embalmed and mountel, to serve as c. paper weight. The hand, which which is in an admirable state of preserva tion, looking as If it bad just been severed from the arm, is evidently that of a man, and is sinewy and shapely, and would raally be beautiful, viewed as a work of art, could the ghastliness of the thing be forgotten. On the third finger is a broad baud of gold, but which could not be removed. This, Miss Iloblnson reluctantly admitted, appeared to be the ring presented br her years ago to a young man to whom she was at that time engaged to be married, and wbo she now believes to have taken this unique and abhorrent manner of returning the gift to her. Blit it Is thought by the young lady's friends that the gantlemun lost the member by accident, aud having on the ring at the time returned both to her, ARTISTICALLY DONE. There is about incbei of wrist re maining with the hand, aud the stump shows skillful treatment hv a surgeon, tbo end being finished off with a plate of silver highly jxilished but bearing no inscription. The package containing tho band came through the mail and had the postmark al most obliterated by having gotten slightly wot. Under a magnifying glass, however, It Is -aid to be that of New York oity. The young mau to whom Miss Hobinson Is convinced the hand belonged was living In that metropolis a year or two ago, but his preseut whereabouts are unknown to her. Tho ring she gavo him bore an in scription on the inside, but the lady refused to have the band filed off for the purpose of identifying it. Indeed, so great u her hor ror of the object that sha refuted to Icok at it, aud hat requested that it be at once in te,rred--rhe kitt a accompanied by a nlain visiting card on which was printed by a type writer the greetings of the seiscn. The ad dress was also typewritten. The friends of young lady are indignant with the sender whoever he be, as the shock to the nerves has mode her seriously ill aver sinoe with hysteria FOUND GOLD IN A PI BATE 3 CAVE. Wonderful Tala of a Rich Treasure Discovered by Two Poor Battere. From the New York Herald. There is a wonderful tale of treasure trove floating about In tha Orange mountains, the heroes of which are two journeymen hatmokers who, strangely enough, have vanished from their oc customed haunts since making their alleged extraordinary find. It is supposed that they have stolen away to celebrate Christmas after the manner of princes, bearing their wealth with them. The story goes that James Stillwell and Michael Sanders, both of whom at one time worked at the hatmaking trade In Liv ingston, a village in the Orange Hills, started out on a hunting trip some weeks ago, which had marvelous resuits, for in stead of netting gams they discovered bags of gold coin, moat of it of ancient Spanish make. The value of the treasure discovered is by some estimated at $30,000. while all agree that even if it did not reach that figure there was enough of it to make a tidy bank ncoount for both men. The unsatisfactory pars of tha story is that no one could be found yesterday—with a single exception, and be was in such a state of mental and physical paralysis as to be totally unable to describe bis experiences —who had seen the treasure. The people of the Orange Hills, however, had heard all about it and were more than willing to repeat the wonderful things which had been told them. SPANISH PIRATES’ CAVE. About a mile and a half from LiviDgston, which lies about six miles from West Orange, there lived, about two years ago, an old Spaniard, whom everybody feared and of whose origin not even the oldest inhabitant bad much to say. I’edro Valdero was the Spaniard's name. His hut was not a obearful place to visit even in broad daylight, and therefore he spent most of his time alone, except when he walked to the village to replenish his store of whisky. One night there was a firs on the mountain whioh the villagers at first thought a blaze ia the dry underbrush of the forest. In the morning, however, in vestigation showed that the Spaniard’s hut was in ashes and that hs bad disappeared Now, “the pirate” bad always had plenty of money, and at he did no work auil never left his hut except for the reasons already explained the notion had long prevailed that he subsisted upon hidden treasure. DISCOVERING THE CAVE. Stillwell and Sanders had had no luek in their shooting excursion. They sat down to rest on a slab of rc k not far from the site of the old Spaniard’s hut, but farther up the hill, and directly under a palisade of overhanging roek. Stillwell called his oompanion’s attention to a curious looking hole in the side of tbe hill. Investigating the hole they found a cave, and ia the cave four oanvas bags and an iron barred chest, all full of gold coins of Spanish mintage. 1 here were enough coins in tte bags nnd the chest to turn the heads of these two poor fellow* who had bsen working twelve hours a day most of their lives for a wretched pittance.- It is at this point that al! trace of the men and their treasure trove is lost. The spot where they fell upon this fortune is so wild and so lonely that they would have bad little difficulty in secreting it again aud then bearing it away piecemeal. At “Pat” Collins’ hat factory in Living ston it was said yesterday that Sanders had knocked off work there snout a month ago. Nobody knew what had become of him, but •‘Torn” Whalen, one of the bands, said he understood that Sanders had "struck it rich.” Whalsn had heard all about tbe treaiure and so bad numerous '■rber people in Livingston. I went up on tbe mountain side and took a look at the cave. It Is a very orainary affair as oaves go, and it is a wonder that if bags of gold were concealed there they were cot found long ago Ths story of a deed which rivals that of the Rorpan Curtins comes from China. Curtius died amidst the rapturous applause of a crowd of his countrymen, knowing tbat his deed would make him famous for generations. The Chinaman died alone and unobserved, a simple devotee to patriotism. China had been suffering from a very serious drought, a fact that in tnat super stitious country is attributed to the wrath of tbe sods. An officer on the Chinese man-of-war Yuenkal was so much moved by the spectacle of the Darcbing fields and suffering people teat he determined to offer himself as a sacrifice to appease the angry divinities. Accordingly he attached to his body a number of brass books with pieces of sa-dal wood attached to them, a token of sacrifice. Then he made a careful toilet, and, repairing to tbe seasbore outside of tbe city, threw himself into tbe water and was drowned. Nothing was known of his act until his body was cast ashore tbe following day. However much we may condemn the ridiculous superstition that prompted tie suicide, we can not withhold our admiration for the pure Bairiotiam that thus unost-ntatiously gave his is for the good of his country. Thbre is a wonderful grapevine at Gatllac, a town ia Southern France. Although tte plant is only ten years from the cutting it has yielded as many as 1,287 bunches of fine fruit in a sing e year. There is but one other vine in cultivation that is known to excel tnis prolific shrub, and that is tbe historical vine at Hampton Court, England, which ae planted in 1708. In ono year this noted vine has borne 2,500 bunches. The fruit from this vine is kept for the exclusive use of Queen Victoria and her household, the surplus being made into wine for the same pur pose ' , : MEDICAL.
