huity, although the same have been in

detective agency which is seeking re-
ward of $500. 1t has been working on

made the arrest. is convinced that only
two men are directly concerned in the
murder of the Webers. One of these was

somewhat prominent resident of this
city, whose real name is alleged to be
Philip McManus and who is wanted in
New York for alleged extensive swindling
operations was arrested here today and
is now in custody of two New York de-
tectvIes. Bradford, alias McManus, came
here six months ago. He was apparently
well supplied with moley, for he bought
land and erected several buildings. The
property however. stands in the name
of his wile's mother. The story of the
detectives is that Bradford, under the
name of Philip McManus, was an extern
sive commission merchants in New York,
dealing in butter, cheese end eggs. Short
ly before coming here it is alleged that
he bought goods to the amount OF nearly
$40, 200, sold them and pocketed the pro-
ceeds and failed before 1t was time for
him to settle, and allowed his brother to
take judgment for everything in sight.
The brother and others implicated were
indicted in New York, but McManus es
capped to this coast. His arrest today fol
lowed the arrival OF the New York detect
ives with extradition papers from Gov
ernor Budd. Civil action also began today
against the accused to get som $50, 900
that he is supposed to have in local
banks. This afternoon applications were
made for writ of habeas corups for Nc

DALLAS, Tex, June 26. The plans for
the great amphitheater for the seating Of
40, 900 people who are expected to witness
the Corbett- t-Fitzsimmons fight are about
complete. The ground chosen is two miles
from the heart,of the city, in good walk
ing distance from the yards Of the Texas
and Pacific and the Central railway along
the lines of the former. The Texas and
Pacific will undoubtedly run accomm QUA
tion trains of twenty five coaches to re-
lieve the four street car lines which run
to the grounds.
Dallas has four first class hotels, one
boasting of being the finest IN the south,
thirty of ;he second class and boarding
houses by the mile. The suggestion that
John Duffy of New Orleans referee the
fight is well received at headquarters. 1t
is conceded he is master of prize ring
rules and that no fairer man could have
been found in the world. The story that
Corbett will train at Terrill is not credited
here. Tho weather IN Texas mp to the
beginning OF October Is too hot for that
work. He will doubtless be the guest of
President Green for three or four weeks
before tho fight or during October. The
odds are still on Corbett, but the bet by
Gfeen of $4,000 to $1,000 OH him is the
only one yet reported.

- WASHINGTON, June 26.-For the first
time in many months the treasury re-
cepts for the current month will exceed
the expenditures.
Today the treasury balance sheets for
the month show surplus instead of a
deficit, and as the expenditures are usual

is regarded as certain that the surplus
will continue to grow from now until

vening days between now and July lst it
is not unlikely that more than 1000, 600
