And Corbett Had to Flee From the State
of North Carolina. :
SPARTANsBURa, s. G., Sept. 5.-There is a
very old saying about the governors Of
North and South Carolina, but when James
j. Corbstt and party took their hasty fight
at two O'Clock this morning from North
Carolina to South Carolina he did not have
tim to pass the compliments of the day
with either of these distinguished gentle
men. The fact is the big Californian is un-
fortunately not as we'll posted on the laws
of North Carolina as are the good Christian
people of Charlotte, and consequently he
came near getting himself into a very seri-
Gus difficulty which would doubtless have
placed him in rather an awkward position,
IA it would have been a difficult matter for
him to have kept his business engagement
with John l.. Sullivan in New Orleans. and
be in the strong arms of the law OF North
Carolina at the same time.
The trouble was that Corbett laid over
Sunday in Charlotte. and it being an ideal
summer day, Jim put it in at what he con-
sidered the best advantage. so he hired a
hack aud drove a few miles through the
his run was within the city limits. This. in
addition to his punching and going through
with the rest of his training in his private
car. caused all the trouble. No one had the
slightest suspicion Of trouble till after mid
night, when Billy Delaney. who is with the
Corbett train, was warned OF danger and
told to get Corbots and his party out of the
state as quickly as possible, as the solicitor
general, who ia a lawyer and preacher COM
bined, was going to Lava Corbett arrested
in the morning for desecratinR the Sab
bath. h entire party had retired
for the night, with the exception OF
Delaney. As they were looked

them all together without exciting suspi-
cion. BY two O'Clock, however, they were
all on hand and when train No. 8 arrived
from Washington. Corbett was slowed
away in tho sleeper, while another member
Of the party occupied his bed in his private
car and was ready to stand arrest in case
the train was detained.
just as the train was about leaving the
depot Corbstts training car was attached
to the train and drawn out Of Charlotte in
safety. There were a number of police Of
fcers gathered around this train, but no at
tempt was made to detain the train, though
they had gone to the trouble of locating
the sudden departure OF the Corbett party
rather took them by surprise, and occurred
before they were ready to make a raid,
The run to this place was a good one and
the party got here by five a. IN.
The boys were tired and they went to bed
into his own car shortly after leaving Char
lotte and slept soundiy until seven o. NJ.
when he got up and exercised for half an
hour or 30 before going to the Merchants
hotel for breakfast. He took a very hearty
meal OF two steaks. three sott-boiled eeps
fried potatoes, Rriddle cakes. and four ups
of toa. After breakfast he spent an hour
playing billiards, and then put in the rest
of the time going through his regular
course OF tanning, which he will continue
even on the day of the tight.
