GIVEN A WORTHLESS DRAFT.
Saloon Keeper Fisher Has FinanH
oisr W. W. Garner Arrested.
Accused Man Says He Is the Victim
of q Mistake.

William w. Garner. Of 13s West One
Hundred and Fourth street, New York,
President Of the Manhattan Trading
Company, Of Nos. 10 and 80 Broadway,
and an important factor in several al
legged shady financial deals of late, was
held this morning in 81 900 bail for ex-
animation on Oct. Is by Justice Tighe in
Butler Street Court Brooklyn.
Garner is charged by Saloon Keeper
George H. Fisher. of No. "a Fourth
avenue, Brooklyn, with having got from
him a sl15 check by means of a worth
less draft on the Manhattan Trading
Company. Fisher says that on Aug. 4
last Garner, through man named
Ambrose Davenport now In the Tombs,
secured from him check for Sis on the
Sprague National Bank, OF Brooklyn,
in retnru for a draft for $3.50. Fisher tried
to negotiate the draft and found it was
worthless.
He says he has discovered that the
Manhattan Trading Company was insol-
vent at the time the draft was drawn.
Davenport makes an affidavit duplicating
Garner.
Garner is about forty-two years old.
He ls slightly built and wears a heavy
beard, tinged with gray. He looks like a
prosperous business man. Garner says
a ns of the draft vas go Would Gr
hcnored It had II not been that the pay
ment was stopped on Fishers check,
which had been deposited by Davenport
in the Nassau Bank, New York.
He characterized his arrest as a rank
injustice. and claimed he was tho VIC
tim of a serious mistake.

SPORTING MISCELLANY.

Although Corbett and Fltzsimmons
went as far in the making of a match
yesterday as the laws of this State per-
nit, 1t Is wonderful to see how many
sceptics there are who profess to believe
that the men will never meet in ring.
Just why such a belief should exist does
not appear, but 1t certainly does exist.
Much of 1t Is engendered by the fact
that the fight cannot be held until next
Winter. leaving an interval OF over
year in which any one of a thousand
things might happen to prevent a con-
summation OF the plans set forth.
One amusing phase of the meeting yes
terday was the entire absence Of Fitz-
simmons money. After Fitz conquered
Creedon In New Orleans. there was talk
of thousands and tens OF thousands be-
ing a the disposal OF the middle-weight

resort of Mexico, situated in suburb

Americans whom I had seen around
the table on several occasions. One
was railroad man and the other was
the most expert short-card manipula-
tor ever saw. They played for very
small stakes for several days. Then
one day the railroad man came in, sat
down and began to play. The short
card man followed him in about half
an hour and took a seat five or six
chairs away. saw him take large
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
spread it over his knees. In Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player to
cut the cards when he makes bet. The
short-card man brought with him a
deck of cards exactly similar to those
used in the game. Fact is, the backs
of these cards are all alike. When he
was given the cards to cut he substi-
tuted another pack on the top of which
was a card, king, which would make
him win. He had put down eighteen
hundred dollars on the king on the
board. He cut, the dealer turned and
of course he won. The pack that the
dealer had handed him to cut lay in the
silk handkerchief spread over his
knees. He gathered the handkerchief
together, put it in his pocket, took his
thirty-six hundred dollars and left.
His confederate played on for a few
minutes, making small bets, and then
cashed In. As he turned to go the
