The inference is drawn that they
were found in or around Sullivan's
house, as a squad of detectives are
known to have devoted nearly all of to-
day in searching the premises OF the ice
dealer. The officer in charge of the
squad, in response to casual inquiry,
tilted, at tie time, that no discoveries
had been made, but Chief Hubbard,
when confronted with the later report
tonight, refused to either affirm or deny
the statement that the murdered mans
apparel had been found. AS the authori
ties have usually lost no time in de-
nouncing unfounded rumors, the con-
clusion is that today has at least wit
messed the disclosure of one valuable
clue to the wool of mystery that sur
rounds the ia OF the murdered doctor.
THE wHITE-HoRsE DRIVER CAUGHT.
Another arrest was made tonight.
The police think the man to be the one
who drove the wbite-horse rig which car
ried DR.. Cronin to his death. The arrest
was made in lodging -house, the records
of which show that, on the night of the
murder, the man did not put in an ap-
pearance until after midnight. He has
expressed the fear, number of times
since, that he would get into trouble in
the Cronin matter, and tried to persuade
the clerk to change the record. He is
known only by the sobfiquet of "Mack."

New YORK, May 30.-A damp wind
from the ocean blew all the afternoon at
Gravesend and made wraps comfort
able. After the second race light rain
began to fall. The scratching of Bel
mont's colt, st. Carlo, and Senator
Hearst's Ballarat from the stake was a
great disappointment to the public, for
these two were expected to make battle
royal. The victory of Hanover in the
first race was very popular one.

THE SEATTLE REGATTA.

Paterson Badly HaMdicapped.


SEATTLE, W. T.. May 3O.-The rowing
nor, Hamm, Peterson and Lee partici-
pated, was witnessed by fully 5000 per
sons. The course was three miles with
turn. A good start was Eade. O'Con-

O'Connor and Peterson turned the buoys

the race from the turning stakes O'Con-

Hamm, and Lee five lengths behind Pc
terson.
Shortly after the start, Peterson forged
ahead of Ham and Lee, and over the
entire course to the stake-boat, pushed
O'Connor hard for the first place. The
turning of the buoys was reached by the
leaders almost simultaneously, but the
champion made much quicker time,
and when his nose was Strengthened
into the return course he had decided
advantage over the San Francisco man.
Hamm and Lee, meantime, had not

an excellent turn, and when Hamm
started for the goal he was but little
more than a length behind the Toronto
| man, and nearly equal with Peterson.
| O'Connor, having gained such prestige,
| rested on his oars and waited for
the others to pull up with him.
Then when the noses of Hamm's and
Peterson's boats crowded him he pulled
away and maintained his lead to the fin
ish. The race en- the return course was
between Hamm and Peterson for second
place. At one time the San Francisco
boy made beautiful squirt and was
ahead of the Nova Scotian, but he could
not hold it and he dropped back
with Hamm. Near the goal Peterson
fouled with small boat and was forced
back to third place, though it is doubtful
i if he could have held second any way.
O'Connor finished in 18 minutes Is Sec

A FIZZLE FIGHT.
COrbett and ChOynski Get Knocked
Out by the sheriff.

SAN Francisco, May 30.-More interest
is centered in the Choynski and Corbett
fight than in any pugilistic contest which
has taken place in San Francisco for
years. For at least three years i'll feeling
hag existed between Corbett and Choyns-
XII. The present fight was intended to
settle all their bygone disputes. People
who know both fighters intimately, say
| they could not pass one another on the
streets without insults being passed.
Both the California Athletic and Golden
Gate Clubs made the most strenuous
efforts to have the fight take place under
| their auspices, but without avail. 1t is
estimated that over $25 900 was placed in
the hands of local booksellers on the re-
suit OF the fight, but no odds were offered
in favor of either of the contestants.
SAN Francisco, May 30.-The early
boat for Saucelito was crowded with sport
ing men this morning, the cue having
been given that the fight between Cor
bett and Choynski would take place at
some point under the shadow of the
mountain. 1t was originally declared
that only ten spectators would be per-

oh fka~
O'Clock this forenoon. -Four hard fought
rounds had occurred when the Sheriff
appeared and stopped the fight. Betting
was in favor of Corbett when the inter-
ruption occurred, and he was having the
best of it up to that time.
THE ROUNDS DETAILED.
SAN ANsELMo, May 3O.-Full one hun
dred and fifty scouters were on the spot
before the fighters were called up for the
first round. Very little was done in the
first round, both men sparring cleverly
for an opening, but failing to inf1ict al y
damage. In the second round there was
the hardest kind of slogging, Corbett
employing rushing tactics, and hitting
fiercely. He caught Choynski on the
mouth, drawing blood, and Choynski
appeared groggy when the round closed.
In the third round, sparring was in
dulged in, with no particular damage
done, though Corbett still forced the
fighting, with Choynski on the defensive.
The Sheriff appeared tefore the fourth
round was fairly on, and then there was
hurried scattering of principals and
spectators.
SAN Francisco, May 30-It is impos-
sible to learn when the Choynski-C Corbett
fight will be finished, or whether it will
be finished at all, although the general
opinion seems to be that further steps to
this end will be taken. Parties arriving g
from San Rafael this evening say the
fight would certainly not take place to-
night.
SAN Francisco, May 30.-Corbett and
Choynski returned to this city this even
ing, and 1t is understood that the fight
has been indefinitely postpon ed, and all
bets will be declared off.

Norfolk and Western passenger train, which
left this city at 1905 A. NJ, was wrecked at
Thaxton's. twenty-five miles distant from
