THE GOVERNOR GAINS A POINT.
The Case of Mitchell and Corbett Thrown
Out of the Criminal Court.

Jacksonville, Fla, January 2.-In the
criminal court of record this morning,
the attorneys for Corbett and Mitchell
appeared, confidently expecting that
Judge Phillips would decide the case
against them. They had their clients in
the circuit court, where arrangements
had been made for hearing by Judge
Call tomorrow, on a motion that writ
of habeas corpus issue, and the men be
released, but as soon as the criminal
court opened, J. B. Christie, prosecuting
attorney of the court, said that no infor-
nation about Corbett and Mitchell had
been filed with him or with the judge or
clerk, and he saw no reason, therefore,
why they should not be released, and
their bondsmen be relieved of any fur
ther responsibility. The judge so or
dered, and the case was ended then and
there. This is a triumph for Governor
Mitchell and the opponents of the Duval
of the circuit court and thus prevented
the rendering of the decision
which the club had hoped for. 1t is said
the governor put the screws on Christie
and forced him to take this course.
At meeting of the city. y.council this
afternoon, Mayor Fletcher sent in veto
of the five-ounce glove ordinance. The
council will probably pass the ordinance
over the veto.
The Duval Athletic Club today sent
man to St. Augustine to induce Mitchell
to sign the articles of agreement. The
original articles provided that the fight
should occur within two miles of jack
sonville." The club wished to change
this clause to have it read that the fight
should occur within the State of Florida.
Mitchell refused to affix his name to the
amended articles unless the site for the
contest was definitely fixed.

sUPERBA GONE IN SMOKE.
The Han1ons Will Disband Their Com
pany-Stetson VIII Rebuild.

Boston, January z. 2.-William Hanlon of
the Hanlon Brothers, said today that his
loss by the burning of the Globe theatre
would be in the vicinity of $1,000. He is
insured. He also said he should cancel
all engagements for "Superba" for the
remainder of this season as it would be
impossible to make new set of
scenery and costumes in two months.
The company was to have gone South
from here, but it will be disbanded. A
careful estimate indicates that the loss
will not exceed $25O,ooO. The insurance
will not aggregate SIS, 600. The snallness
OF TINS Is largely due to the fact that
John Suetson carried his own insuran ce
and the insurance ON the building was
only soo.o0o. Mr.. Stetson says he shall
build q new and better theatre on The
site of the old.
