Dan Stuart Thinks He Will Have "SweIl''
Attendance.
Carson, New, March 3.-Dan Stuart
ventured down to his office this morn
ing. His face was pale and he walked
slowly. Referee Siler followed the mas
sive Texan behind the counter and ths
two chatted over their plans for half an
hour.
''I'm glad to know that the big fell
lows are not quibbling over the rules"
remarked Stuart. There is no doubt
in my mind that the men are anxious
to meet, and they won't permit any
technicalities to stand between them.
So far as I am informed, all the pugil-
lists are in excellent physical condition.
The arena will be ready a week from
now.
'I think we will have swell attend
ance. You will see the longest string
of Pullmans in the Carson yard that
ever came over the Dump. ] could not
shut the women folks out There is no
law that would uphold me in denying
them admission.
Anybody who attempts to create a
disturbance inside that pavilion will be
elected without ceremony. My doctor
thinks it safe to allow me to leave for
San Francisco now, and if feel as well
as / do to-day I'll make the trip"

HE SUFFERED PICARTOUSLY.
Paymaster Corwine of the Navy Tried to
Protect Defaultinc Clerk.

Newport. r. l., March 3.-The police
department has just been notified of
the arrest of Paymaster John Corwine,
u S. N, in Chicago tonight, and the
wards of $4,000 of the $4,000 which he
drew upon a check an hour or two be-
fore his departure from this city on
Monday. The local department secur-
ed a clue this afternoon as to his prob
able destination, and the arrest was
made after telephoning to that city.
Detective Richards, who went on the
case twenty four hours ago, will prob
ably start for that city in the morning.
Corwine has been wired asking if he
will come on without a reQuisition
made to answer to complaint against
him brought by the First National
bank, the United States depository in
this city.
Mrs. CorWine in the meantime is in
Washington pleading for her husband
She claims that the difficulty is due to
a shortage of his pay clerk on the Unit
ed States ship Nipsic, on a Pacific
cruise. Corwine made no complaint
upon the promise of the clerk to make
up the shortage in installments, but
this finally failed The government Of
ficers appear to have known something
about the case which originated ten
years ago, but owing to the loss of the
Nipsic at Samoa her accounts have
never been audited, and Corwine has
been gradually making up the short
age but the aDpearance of a chief in
spector this week drove him to a des-
perate act. There is much sympathy
here for Corwine, who has been living
quietly and making up as rapidly as
possible.

WHO n JOHN WARD?
Mystery Attaching to the Man Who Died
at the Hospital Tuesday.

mystery AGtacnlns TO the Nlan w no Dleu
at the Hospital Tuesday.
There appears to be some mystery at
tached to John Ward, the man who died
at the hospital Tuesday of Brights dis
ease. He had been at the hospital sew
eral times before and had always given
his name as John Ward, and he so
registered the last time he was admit
ted in December. Yesterday the hospi-
tai authorities We're informed by A. G.
Rogers of 1856 Olive street, a former
employer of Ward that Ward was not
the mans real name, but that it was
probably John Lyons. Ward, or Lyons,
came to this city nine or ten years
ago and it is believed he took
the name of Ward to conceal his iden-
tity for some reason as yet unknown
He also stated that he had no relatives
living. Ward came to this city from
Willimantic and the hospital authorities
have telegraphed to the police in that
city to see if some of the mans friends
cannot be found.
A card in his pocketbook had written
upon it B. L., Lorraine street, Brook
lyn, N. Y.
The hospital authorities also tele-
graphed to this place, thinking it
might be brother of the dead man, as
the initials B. l.. might indicate.
