63 73 0 Corbett and Mitchell and Several of Their Aiders and Abettors Arrested. After tbe prize fight at Jacksonville was over Thursday afternoon, Corbett and Mitchell were arrested. The associated press dispatches give the following accountof the arrests: JAMES 3. COHBETT. Five minutes later Corbett was dressed and then entered a carriage with his friends to be driven to his hotel.

At the gate he was arrested by Sheriff Broward upon a warrant issued by County Judge Baker, the charge being an alleged violation of the law In having fought by previoas appointment. The sheriff permitted a deputy to accompany Corbett to the St. James hotel and, after the champion bad changed his clothes, he wis driven to the courthouse. Later on Mitchell was arrested on the same charge and taken before the county judge. Nearly all the members of the Duval Athletic filnb were arrested in the same wv and a few ot the noted sports in town as being aiders and abettors and present during tbe fight.

The pugilists were represented by the attorneys of the Duval Athtellc Club and the judge ordered them placed under a $5,000 bond each to appear before Judge Phillips, of the criminal court, to-morrow. others were released on $2,500 ball each. i TheJ'Informatlon" upon which these warrants were sworn out was filed with the county judge by Sheriff Broward himself and it is said that the proceedings are of a friendly character, brought for the purpose of thoroughly testing the law. HI! WW it Lai There was a great deal of harsh criticism passed upon Corbett by many of the high-class sporting men and spectators at the fight on account of his "losing his head" In the second round and making such savage efforts to strike Mitchell while he was down. Scores of the spectators are positive that Corbett struck the Englishman while the latter lay doubled np on tbe floor at his ftet, and some of those who lost money expressed indignation at tbe failure of Referee Kelly to call it a "foul." The referee did not so call it, however, and says that Corbett did not strike a foul blow at all or in any manner foul his opponent.

1 C1IARLE3 MITCHELL. The special correspondent of the At lanta Constition wired that paper as fol lows: That both Mitchell and Corbett are uneasy over the arrests is certain. Late to-nlzht Delanev and nearly all of the Corbett party left the city before tney could be pulled as accessories, inis they did to obviate tbe making ot a bond and involving the club in a heavier loss. Mitchell's men, however, stuca closer to him, and In the morning when the cases are called In court Masterson, Thompson. I old Tom Allen, and Pony Moore will be there.

That Dotn men will ask for a continuance and be re- aired to give bond is an assured fact It is true that Florida bas been wild over this fight tor weeks, but since it has been brought off. tbe people are wrought np to the highest pitch. Many who favored It before are nuw quite ugly and declare that both Mitchell and Cor bett should be prosecuted under the old common law statute. 7S veu At the court room Mitchell and Cor bett made friends. This is Said to have been brought about by their friends in order to make it appear that the fight was only a "friendly glove contest." lea, lot Telephone 58 Stratton Ice Worka.

They Insured The ways and means ofw insurance agents for securing customer! are many and varied. Tbe modus opeijandi seems to be to get the victim interested and then bombard him with aigiment, eloquence and statistics, and iit is in the first that the real genius of business comes in. A merchant was writing bis desk the otber day when two of tjie craft entered.

Being well dressed id prosper -ons looking, he rose to receuve them and inquired their business. "I want," said one, "to introduce to yon my friend, Mr. Booker who is a well known gentleman living here, and special agent for the Blaster Life Insurance company." "I am pleased to meet Mi. Booker," returned the merchant, "but I really don't know that I'm acquainted with you." "Indeed," said the first.fi "Booker, old man, introduce me." ff Booker did," and tbe merchant, seeing the trick, buret out into hearty guffaw and was soon insured lf the two friends, who, if they had entered in the ordinary style and statedi'their business, would probably havo tieen shown the door. London Tit-Bitsj r- Ivory Carving la China Japan.

In China and Japan ivepr has been carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside one another being specially noted. Many- theories have been farmed as to hov these balls have been cit. Perhaps a probable one is that a ball of ivory was taken, around the uppe and lower ends of which onr small rholes were carved ont, gradually diminishing in size toward the center axis of the one hole met the axis ofj the other or lower one at right angles the center of the ball, and that then small tools were inserted, and a thin layer of ivory, forming a part of, a Circle from one bole to its lower corresponding one, was cut and loosened from the whole mass. So, gradually cutting from one hole to the next one, a complete inner circle was eventually loosentjd, the cirr cles themselves afterward beiag cut into the required pattern. Chamfers' Journal.

I One of the Best. "The best compliment I ejjver had," said a well known lawyer -the other day, "was paid by an old fiidy in an adjacent town, where I one went to take part in Fourth of ur celebration.

Tbat day I was onfthe programme to read the Declaration of Independence, andi put all ths power 1 had into the lines. i When the exercises were over, an old lady, who was arrayed in her finest, came np to me and said, 'That is one of the best declarations of independence I ever beard; you must spent a powerful long time writin it.

i OU CRUTCHES 2 WEEKS Limb Raw as Beef and Red Beet. Pain, Burning, ancl Itching Terrible. Not 5 Hoars Sleeps ia 3 Days. Makes One Application of Cuticura and Minutes la Asleep; A Remarkable Case, -1 About two years ago I was confined to my room with a breaking out on my Jegiwbich my physician peonounced Eezema, About three weeks ago the same disease broke out again on the same leg, and my physician has been attending me regularly, calling from onee twice daily, the sores all tbe time getting iwoise. A friend called to soe me, and brougbt about one half teaspoonful of CmcvaA, advising me to try it, telling of himself, brother and mother having been cured by it.

yl would not try it at first, although I bad been on crutches for over two weeks, and at oe time I counted between twenty-five and thirty suppurating sores, and had not slept more $han five hours in three nights. Monday morning about four o'clock the pain, burning and itching became so severe that 1 determined to try Ctrri-cura, thinking that if it did no good git could nil ill my leg much worse, for it wis as raw as a piece of beef and as red as a hfet, so I applied the Citicub, and in five minites after 1 laid down I was asleep. Next day 1 vent and got a box of Cuticcra, and I'll pledge.nty honest word I would not take $109 to-day for it, if I could not get another. I commenced using Cuticcra Monday morning about fonto'clock, and to-day (Tuesday) my leg is nearly well, notwithstanding I had not walked a step'without my crutches in two weeks.

Avery-Nearly Alt of the Articles Recovered. Sheriff George E. Smith returned Thursday night from Jacksonville bringing with him George W. Wiggins, who was arrested in Jacksonville while attempting to sell a lot of knives taken from the store of Mr. A.

M. Avery, of this city. Mr. Avery's was robbed on the 14th and a day or two afterwards a man named Harry Wilson was arrested in this city by Deputy Sheriff Gordon while attempting to dispose of a lot of knives. He was committed to the county jail and is s.Ul confined there.

Last Saturday Gaorge A. Wiggins was arrested in Jacksonville while trying to dispose of a lot of knives to an Italian street peddler. In the police court he was fined $10 for doing business without license and not having the money to pay his fine" was put to workjon the streets. Mr. Avery was informed of the arrest by a representative of Tub News, and he at once communicated with Sheriff Smith.

Tbe chief of police at Jacksonville was requested by telegraph to bold Wiggins, and Sheriff Smith left for that city Tuesday night with a full description of the stolen articles. At Jacksonville he found a large sack of knives in possession of the police which had been taken from Wiggins at the time of his arrest. They alo bad a pawn ticket for a pistol which Wiggins had obtained money, on at a loan office in Jacksonville. Sheriff Smith took this ticket and went to tbe pawnbroker and there discovered by the number that it was one of the pistols taken from Mr. Avery's store.

He then saw Wiggins at tbe police station and obtained from him a full confession of the crime. He told the sheriff that he entered the store of Mr. Avery alone and took the goods and that no one was interested with him in the steal. I After taking tbe goods from the store he carried them to Milton where be pur chased a valise and shipped a large part of them to Jacksonville in the name of G. A Walton.

He kept a portion of the knives and at River Junction sold 32 of them to a man named Thompson for about $7, with which he paid his railroad fare to Jacksonville. When be reached that city he obtained tbe valise and car ried it to the Tremont hotel where he registered and began to dispose of the goods. I After obtaining the confession of Wiggins, Sheriff Smith went to the Tremont hotel and obtained the valise by paying bis (Wiggins) board bill. Upon opening the valise the sheriff found a number of pistols, razors, scissors and corkscrews, which be at once identified as tbe property of Mr. Avery the razors having bis name upon tbe cases.

Altogether Sheriff Smith found and brought back 92 knives, 7 pistols, 11 razors, 7 corkscrews and 2 pairs of scifsors. Wiggins was seen by a representative of The Nbws at the jail yesterday. He is a young man of good appearance and stemed to be in excellent rpirits considering the ugly situation in which be is placed. He told Sheriff Smith that he was a bookkeeper and came from Philadelphia; that on bis arrival in Pensacola he registered at the Merchants hotel and was induced to enter Mr. Avery's store after he had spent bis last dollar.
