gulllvan Says That Be la Sick and
Sore Otw the JFlnaco In Arkan
sas One Is a
Coward.
Chicago, Nov. 4. Eagene Field, a
poet, died of heart failure at about 5
this morning. He retired laat night in
usual health, apparently, and slept
soundly till daybreak, when his eon,
who occupied the room with him. heard
lain groan. It was his expiring gasp.
Field leaves a widow and five children.
He had been indisposed several days,
but no serious result were even thought
of by hiB family and immediate friends.
George H. Yenowyno, of thia city, was
at Field's bedside when he died. Mr.
Field and Yenowyno intended to start
together for Kansas City, where Field
was to have read tonight.
Eugene Field was born in St. Louis,
September 2, 1850, and was the son of
Roswell Martin and Frances (Reed)
Field. His parents were both natives
of Windham county, Vermont. His
father was Dred Scott's first attorney in
the case which resulted in the famous
Dred Scott decision by the United States
supreme court. Eugene Field's mother
died in 1857. He was then put under
the care of his cousin, Mary Field French,
at Amherst. He attended Williams col
lege, Knox college and the state univer
sity of Missouri. He adopted the pro
. fession of the newspaper writer, begin
ning with the St. Louis Journal, in 1872.
He was later connected with the St.
Joseph, Mo., Gazette, St. Louis Times
Journal, Kansas City Times, and Denver
Tribune. He came to Chicago on Aug
ust 13, 1883, to accept a position' on the
editorial staff of the Chicago Morning
News, now the Record, and his connec
tion with this paper continued without
interruption until his death.
Field's last contribution to this de
partment in this paper, "Sharps and
Flats," was published Sundav morning:,
and in it whs a characteristic defense cf
Bill Nye, and his refueal to accept the
imputations as to the cause of the recent
assault upon the humorist in Pater son,
N. J. In addition to newspaper work,
Field established a reputation as a pow
erful and clever writer of stories and
verses. His latest poem of pretension
was "Dreauiships," printed in the Octo
ber Ladies' Home Journal. He was es
pecially adopt in poems and stores in
child life, and his printed books now
number a a half-dozen volumes. He al
so made himself tamous as a reader of
his own stories and verses.
In June, 1895, Knox college conferred
upon Field the honorary degree of A. M.
SULLIVAN DISGUSTED.
lSelloves That One Man Was a Cow
ard. Chicago, Nov. 4. "Parson" Davies
and his party returned from Hot Springs
last night. John L. Sullivan was in the
party.
"I'm that sick and sore of this fight
ing burlesque thatl'm compelled to stay
over and rest, it out,"' said Big John.
"It ain't so very long ago that I used to
be in this fighting business myself, and,
say, I could always find a way to fight
any fellow that wanted to fight. It ain't
that these fighters did not want to fight,
but it'a a sure thing one of them was
scared. You can pick him out if you
like. 1 won't tell you which one it is."
The ex-champion goes East today.
Peter Maher was more thoroughly out
of sorts at the fiasco than anyone who
has been to Hot Springs.
"I have been pulled . about from
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
Li
I f ( )
Europe, to Dallas and then to Hot
Springs, all to no purpose," said he.
The Irish fighter left for Pittsburg,
where he says he will look over the field
with his backer and then take a fresh
start. Everybody who came in from the
selected battle-ground tells the same
story of two men fighting a war of words,
when they should have been battling
somewhere for a championship.
Memphis, Nov. 4. James J. Corbett
leaves tonight for New York. He says
he will pay no more attention to Fitz
simmens, and contemplates a finalsre
tirement from the ring.
Betting In Ohio.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4. On the eve of
electiyn betting here is on the extent
of the reduction of the democratic plu
rality in Kentucky and of the republican
plurality in Ohio, rather than on the re
sult in either state. In Ohio the repub
licans had had phenomenal pluralities
and claim now a better organization
than ever. They had an early state
convention and went to work immedi
ately. The democrats had a late convention,
but claim the aggressiveness and popu
larity of ex-Governor Campbell will get
ont a full democratic vote and show a
close contest. "While both parties have
paid special attention to the legislature,
which selects a successor to Senator
Brice, it is conceded that the republicans
have the advantage in the apportion
ment, which stands till alter the census
of 1900. -
Baseball Notes.
New York, Nov. 4. It is announced
that the New York baseball club has
drafeed Frank Counaughton, of the Kan
sas Citv clul), of the Western League.
In 1894 thia player was a member of the
Boston team, where he played thirty
two games in a short time, while Long
was disabled and liad a percentage of
.901. As a batman he had an average of
.327. The" Bostons let him go WeEt be
cause they had too many players.
Baltimore is surprised with the news
that the Orioles' first baseman. Carey,
is to be put on the bench next season
Hanlon's desire is to purchase the re
lease of Cartwright, of Washington, to
take Carey's place.
Figured by BlcKlnley.
Massillon.O., Nov. 4. Governor Mc
Kinley remarked that the state ticket
ought to go through with no less than
60,000 plurality.
"Last year the republicans carried the
state by 137,000," said he, "but the vote
was about 60,000 short. -Now figuring
liberally, I don't see how Mr. Campbell
can possibly get more than 364,000 votes
this year. Last year his party polled
275,392 votes, so you see I have treated
him well in my calculations. Last year
the republicans polled 413,359 votes, so
that if we only hold our own, we will re
tain a comfortable margin."
Long Chase After a Criminal.
Memphis, Nov. 4. Sheriff Hatterson,
of Woodruff county, Ark., passed
through here last night with J . M. Leslie,
alias Lewis, whom he arrested at Oko
lona. Miss. His chase of the man ex
tended over 2,200 miles, but the crime
warranted the long cbase. Leslie is
wanted for two bigamous marriages in
Texas and Arkadsas, and for other crimes
in other cities.

main in jail till his case is tried, next
month.
