to avoid Arrest.

10 AVOEu arrest.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 5.-The Corbett
train met with a surprise last night
when the fighter was quietly sleeping
at the depot hotel. His manager,
Brady. discovered that there was
plot on foot at Charlotte to ar
rest him for dlsregarding the Sabbath,
viz, punching the bag, etc. 1t was said
the prosecuting attorney had the war
| rant ready, and was only waiting to az
rest him this morning. Brady quietly
informed the agent of the Piedmont
Air Line road that the Corbett car must
leave during the night. and arrange
mentS were accordingly made to leave
at a. m. and pull down to the South
Carolina line, thus avoiding the Schem
ing North CarOlinanS.
AT 2 O'clock a number of policemen
had assembled about the car. evidently
having discovered the ruse. The car
was dark, and there were no signs of
life about it. The police, knowing that
Corbett was at the hotel, awaited de-
yelOpments. At :45, however, when
the accommodation train rolled into the
station, Corbett was Struggled aboard.
He was put to bed in one of the Sleeping
cars. He arose at Z d. ii. this morning,
and Immediately upon being dressed in
dulged in long run, punching the bag,
WreStled, etc.
The Corbett special training car, con-
tanning Corbett and his friends, was
picked up by the Washington d South
western veStibuled limited, which passed
through Spartanburg at :43 a. m.
COrbett had just returned from nine
mile run, and was punching the bag
when the train arrived. lie tried to
continue his sparring work with DAILY
after the train got under way, but it
travelled at such high rate of speed
exercise for fear of injury to Corbett
from the shaking and rocking of the
car, which made both men very I'M
steady OH their feet.
After they were both thoroughly
| rubbed down COrDett hoped into his
bed and rested for an hour or so before
dining. AT every station large crowd
assembled TO see them. COrbett dined
at 3 o'clock and partook of as hearty a
meal as any one on board the train. He
does not touch any OF the Southern
water, as he took forty gallon bar
| rel of spring water Oh board OF his car
at Washington and will use no other
| but that OH his entire stay in the South.
| tertained number of his admirers by
| punching the bag and passing the bali
| until he got within few miles of At
! lanta. He tired out two or three
! III that time. among whom were
| jim DAILY, of Philadelphia; Den
ny Dillon. of San Francisco,
and Mike Donovan, the boxing
instructor of the New York Athletic
club, and when they ceased, eighteen
miles from Atlanta, Corbett did not
show the least signs of fatigue, but on
| the contrary worked in the liveliest
| kind of style dumb-bells until the train
made two more miles. Then he turned
himself over to his seconds to be rubbed
! down and put III shape to go into At
| lanta.
| 1t was learned today that j. !. Cor
bett will serve notice on the Olympic
| Club of New Orleans that, unless MIR.
Sullivan goes into the ring and fights
according to Marquis If Queensberry
rules, there will be no tgnt. That is
] to say, Sullivan will have to show
bare flesh from his navel up.
| Corbett and his friends claim
that in all Sullivan's previous
| fights he had his stomach bandaged I'D
with heavy plasterS from half an inch to
| an inch thick and thus protected his
| his opponent. They propose to make
him strip to the waist like all other
pugs are required to do. This will
| doubtless create great sensation when
it is sprung on the New Orleans people
in the morning.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Sept. s. The
finest reception COrbett received any,
where along the road was at Atlanta.
where a large crowd congregated. Cor
bett was compelled to show himself, SO
he walked out on the back platform and
not only spoke to the crowd. but shook
bands with dozens of them who
climbed up the platform to offer
their best wishes. One man who
grasped his hand left a little note in 1t,
and to Corbett's surprise, when he went
to read the scrap of paper, he found
that it was S. bill.
There was not one unpleasant word
