TELLS OF THE DEAL.

II knew the Corbett fight was to be a
fake from the time the articles were
signed. Corbett wouldn't fight unless Nc
Coy would agree to lay down to him
Corbett said to Mccoy: Now, kid, -
I'm getting along in years. This will
probably be my last fight. I've got this
show on my hands for the winter, and
can't afford to lose. Let's have a fight
before the Horton fight goes out of eff
feet and arrange it so that both can
make a barrel of money Then, when
my show goes on the road you can come
along with me and share with me in the
scene where there is a sparring match
SO the fight was arranged, and Nc
Coy agreed to lay down few DAYS
before the fight Corbett sent some of his
friends to Mccoy and told him he had
to give $4,000 pledge that he would
give the fight to Corbett. So Mccoy
drew out of the Amsterdam bank SIC, OCo
in Canadian Pacific bonds, which were
drawing 5 per cent interest, and depos-
tied them as evidence of good faith. Ed
die Burke held them. They were re-
turned to Mccoy the Monday after the
fight.
Mccoy made no pretense Of training
at Saratoga. He was running around the
whole time with the sports there. l Wis
tied him several times, and each time he
was very much under the influence of
liquor.
..The afternoon of the fight Mccoy and
my brother, J. Randolph Woodruff, were
here in the house. My brother and L were
talking Of the fight, and he asked me:
How is the ''Kid'?' 1 told him he was
all right
Well said he, Z suppose I had bet
ter go out and bet some more money
Don't you do It, told him. You
don't know how this thing is going, and
you ought to know that it has been
fixed
Jimmie Wakely was here the same aft
ernoon. He said to Mccoy in my hear
ing: kid what's this 1 hear about
your going to lay down tonight?' There
were one or two other men in the room
at the time, and Mccoy said: Tt amt SO,
Jimmie
HAS A SIGN FOR WAKELY.
"a little later Mccoy took him down
in the basement of the house and he
told me that this was what he said to
him: AS a matter of fact, Jimmie. it
hasn't been decided yet. One of us has
got to lie down, but that won't be fixed
until we get to the ring. Til promise
you that If It is arranged to be me, when

The Florence Times last week con.
tained an article headed, mill VII
lages Seem to be Plague Centres"
and which quoted freely from DR.. as.
Evans, secretary Of the State board OF
health, and among other statements
was the following:
1t is now reported that there arc
many cases Oi the disease at pelZer
and Piedmont, and the State board OF
health say they can get no satisfaction
from the officers" eupposc the word
officers has reference to the officials OF
the mill corporations.
The statement is also made that
when q plague breaks out In the mill
villages the officers require the State
to bear all the expenses OF stamping
out the COntagiOn.
Capt. r.. a. Smytb, OF pclzor, has
made public u te yegraphic cOrrcsDon.
dence with De. Evans, in which the
latter said it had been reported that
there were one hundred cases Of small
poX at PelHer, and when told that this
Information was wrong, he requested

number OF cases at 'elHcr. TO this in
qulry Capt. Smyth replied rs follows /:

lows TO the editor OF The State:
