He rtiys Ball with Scnntos Against
Buffalo Today.
HOW HE PULLED PITZ NOSE
Says Some of tho Details of the I'hlla
delphla Story Are Kalso-Fecls
Well and Says Ho Knows
Uow to Play Ball.
James J. Corbett, temporarily a base
balllst, arrived in Seranton at mid
night; ho was accompanied by his
younger brother Joe, who, wltn mm.
will be numbered with the Scrantons
In today's irinie acalnst Buffalo.
Corbett looks well: colivr Is
bronzed and splondld. He stands firm
and erect, and when The Tribune re
porter met him at the station he
grasped his hand In a manner wmun
to the ordinary mortal, would cuuse
considerable naln.
"I am In the "best of health, and here
to play ball," he said. "I always liked
Seranton. and if I can help them win
tho game tomorrow you can depend
that I will do It In the same manner
as when John L. Sullivan and myself
had n "meetln." "
"What have you to stay regarding
the press reports or your row It n nta
slmnions at Oreen'8 hotel, Saturduy
night. In Philadelphia?"
"Well." said the champion. "I want
first of all to tell you that the matter
was grossly exaggerated. Fltzslm
mons had been drinking. I never drink,
and he exasperate me beyond meas
ure. Walk up to the St. Charles hotel
and I win tell you about the ninttt'r."
Arrived at the hotel tho big man said:
"Fltzslmmons Is a regular rowdy when
he Is In his cups; he loses all Ideas of
decency, and he Insulted me at tne
desk of Oreen's hotel. He had been
bragging of how he would pull my nose
when he saw me. and had he not been
so abusive I would never have said a
word to him."
"I Pulled Uis Nose," Snld Corbett. CB
"We were at the hotel desk, not In the
bar room, as the telegraphic article
falsely states, when the unfortunate af
fair occurred. I went to the clerk to
get the key of my room and saw Fltz
slmmons registering. "Hello Jim!' said
he. 1 naturally said, "How are you, old
man? I hear you've been talking; you
can't keep quiet, can you? You come
here to Philadelphia and have been
shooting off your mouth.' Instead of
his tnklng my remarks as a Joke, the
liquor he had imbibed caused him to
take umbrage nt what I said and he
became so abusive that I pulled his
nose, saying: 'You were going to pull
my nose, but I consider you a cur.'
"We naturally grappled and those
about seized us. IMy brother Joe
grabbed Fltzslmmons and slung him
around the oflice. I was surprised at
the boy's handling of Fltzslmmons. I
wish to strenuously deny that I expec
torated in his face, and that report is
false.
"I feel that people know me to be a
gentleman and above bar room brawls.
The article you speak of is false in most
every particular.
"I go from here to Buffalo, where I
give a boxing exhibition. Oood night,"
he said, with another firm grasp. "Come
out and see Joe and I play ball tomor
row." Philadelphia Version of the Scrap.
Philadelphia, Aug. 11. All the sports
that the general abolition of prize light
ing and horse racing have left In Phila
delphia collected at Oreen's hotel today
and eagerly sought for details of the
little "scrap" Inst night between Cor
bett and Fltzslmmons. Fltzslmmons
left Philadelphia early this morning for
New York, but the big Californlan
spent the day here and left for Scran
ton, Pa., this evening. When Corbett
was seen today and asked for his ver
sion of last night's row, his account of
the affair would make It seem that he
intended merely to be playful and that
Fltzslmmons resented this playfulness
when It took the form of being called a
cur and having his nose pulled. Cor
bett said:
"The whole trouble started about two
weeks ago In New York, when I refused
to ride a bicycle race with Fltzslm
mons for the benefit of the Ice Fund."
began the champion. "When I am go
ing to tight with a man I want to be ag
gressive; I want to be on the outs with
him. I had publicly stated that I in
tended to pull Fitzslmmon's nose the
next time I met htm.
"The first I knew that he was In the
hotel was when I turned around and
I says to him: 'You big monkey, what
do you want at that register? You
know you con't write.' Then I snld to
htm: 'You have been talking about me
again, haven't you?' He said 'No, I
haven't; but what If I have?' Then I
said to him: 'You said that I sneaked
out of riding a bicycle race with you
In New York, and now you are going
around saying I am going to try to
sneak out of a fight.'
I Iti llcgan to Got Mad.
"All this time I was only sort of In
fun, and Just stringing him. But Fitz
began to get mad. Then I reached out
and pulled his nose for a kind of a
Joke. Then he made a motion as If he
was going to lead for me. I didn't
think he would, but It's always best to
be on the safe side, so I cloned In nn
him, and we clinched. Then my friends
grabbed mo, and my 'brother Joe
grabbed Fltzslmmons. Fltz got daffy
when he found Joe could hold him, and
the kid punched Fltz in the mouth.
'I couldnt get at him, so I leaned
over and spat in his face, and said to
him: 'You are a cur the world over,
and I wouldn't have that scared look
on your face for a thousand dollars.'
He wined off the split, saying as he did
so: 'That's a nice thing for a man to
do; you area gentleman, you are.' "
Here Corbett ealu to the reporter:
"Now that was a nice thing for him to
say, wasn't It? If he had been a min
he would have punched me. You
would have punehed any man that spit
In your fane, wouldn't you?" Then
continuing Corbett said: "Fits broke
away and picked up a pottle and threw
It at Joe, but It missed 'him and hit
Brady. Joe picked up a decanter, but
they wouldn'rt let him throw It and then
we were separated. Fltz went out and
I stayed around the hotel. I want il
distinctly understood that I was not
arunk last nlghrt.'V
BAR-ROOM FIGHT.
It Develops That the Stabbing Affray fVa
Nothing !.
The hearing In. the West Ride stub.
blng affray, Katurday morning resulted
In John Watklns being held in $700 ball
to answer at court.
This ball may appear to be somewhat
small, but as It developed at the hear
ing the affair took on more or lem the
neV, -re of a bar-room fight, the allder
mav deemed a large ball uncalled for.

THERE WAS A CAREY.
The Statement of Mr. Youle Is Aliened t
Be Incorrect.
' The statement made by W. E. Toule
of Los Angeles, Chi., to the effect thai
there was no man of the name of Care;
on the Pacific coast who would In snj
way tally with the H. 'B. Carey, o
Leete legacy fame, brings out a correc
tlon which has had the effect of resur
recting hope In the 'heart of Dr. Leete' i
son, B. A. (Leete, who Is following up th
case with, unswerving peraeverence..
4Th statement which Is given out b;
Mr. Leete Is as follows:
"J. R. Dougherty, of 10T North Malr
avenue, called on B. A. Leete Frlda;
and told blm that Philip C. Capk, o
314 ' North Bromley avenue, llyed In
Sacramento, CaL, seven or eight year
ago and was employed as a conductor
on a street railway there,' In which a
man named Carey was the principal
stockholder. This man Carey told Ca
piat that he was going to leave Sacre
mento and go to ti' ranch In southern
California."
As Henry B. Carey was said to have
been a ranchman In southern California
there is some possibility, (Mr. Leete
thinks, that these Careys are. one and
the same person. .
WILL GET A DOUBLE DOSE.
Reeaptnra of a Man Who Had No Roapcet
for Ills Bondsmen.
Joseph KrlWnlck, who wasconvloted
of selling liquor without a license at the
last term of court and who skipped out
just before sentence day, was recap
tured yesterday afternoon In Dodge
town by Speclul Officers Weiss and
Newman. .
Krlstnlck will no doubt get a much
heavier sentence now than he would
have received had he staid and facud
the music.
THAT TERRACE TROUBLE. .
Captain llubbell Says Ue Will Prosecute.
A Story That Was Found ToBo Without
Truth.
There is likely to be no small amount
of litigation resultant from the late
unpleasantness at Hotel Terrace, be
tween Proprietor W. H. Whyte and
Uuest O. J. llubbell.
Captain llubbell has announced his
Intention to proceed against Mr. Whyte
for ussuult and battery, as a cross suit
to the one of the same nature Instituted
against him by Mr. Whyte, and he says
further that he will proceed against
the Terrace proprietor for selling li
quor without a license.
The allegation In Saturday's Tribune
in relation to Captain Hubbell's Inti
macy with the Terrace buffet caused
that gentleman no end of chagrin, and
his friends no end of amusement. One
who was considered reliable Informed
the reporter that Mr. Whyte's explana
tion of the cause of tho quarrel was
that Captain Huhbell had helped him
self to a drink at the buffet and thereby
called down upon himself a rebuke
from Mr. Whyte.
About the Glass of Whisky.
Captain Hubbell, fearing that persons
who did not know him might be led to
believe that he had stolen a drink of
whisky, requested contradiction, first
Insisting on an Investigation. (Mr.
Whyte was seen by a Tribune reporter
yesterday, and when asked what foun
dation there was for the buffet Inci
dent, replied In emphatic tones that
there was none whatever, and asked
that it be contradicted. Air. Whyte,
when asked if he had any statement to
make, said: "No. I believe In the old
taw that 'the least said is soonest
mended.' "
When Captain Hubbell was asked If
he desired to make a statement, he said:
"The Tribune Item was, on the whole,
correct, leaving aside the intlmutlon
that I surreptlously took a glass of
whisky. In the tlrst place I nm not a
drinking man, it being very seldom
that I touch any Intoxicants, and In the
second place fortune and my own exer
tions have placed me In a position to
pay for the occasional drink I may take.
"There was another statement which
could be interpreted to imply that Mr.
Whyte would not board my wife's maid
because she Is colored. This is not so.
Arrangements were made fdr her board,
but she ate only two meals In the ser
vants' dining room, when she com
plained to me of the food, whereupon I
engaged board and lodging for her at a
private boarding house. This maid is
a woman of an excellent family, and is
not a servant because of necessity, as
she owns property of much value In
Danville; but out of her attachment for
my invalid wife she consented to accom
pany us on our travels.
Asks Suspension of Judgment.
"I would also like to say that It Is
possible for a gentleman to be dragged
into a deplorable affair such as this Is,
and would ask the people of Seranton
to make themselves acquainted with
the particulars of this affair before they
pass Judgment."
FATAL WRECK.

Muslo hall was crowded yesterday
afternooon with Indignant Italian resi
dents of Seranton, and from Dunmore,
Old Forge and Carbondale. The mem
bership of Victor Emanuel and Maz
slnl societies, of this city; Guards of
Rome, of Old Forge; Prince of Naples
society, of Dunmore; and Corona Dl
Itallaua, of Dunmore, was present
almost to a man. There were at least
600 In the hall.
Lust Wednesday afternoon the Times
on Us first page In the first column
published a utory under a scare head,
alleging that the so-called detective
Frank Agll, who gave such damaging
evidence in the Hosa murder cuse, was
a marked man by the Italians and
would Inevitably meet death.
Agll Is an Austrian. He was Incar
cerated designedly In the ''same cell
with Joseph Itusa, the murderer of Vito
Laulsso, before the trial and wormed
a confession from the prisoner, which
was used against him .nn the trial, and
with the other strong tihaln of circum
stantial evidence succeeded In convict
ing Hosa of murderer In the first de
gree. Kosa is an Italian, and the
Times' story alleged that the Italians,
or a number of them styled the Mafia,
recently held a meeting to determine
on a means of putting Agll out of the
way. The story published about the
meeting was supplemented by a reit
eration of t'he charges of Mafia In an
swer to a disclaimer made by Frank
Carluccl, representing the Italians,
that the article was without founda
tion. In Lackawanna county there are up
wards of 500 Italian citizens, and these
assembled in mass meeting yesterday
to take action on the reports published.
The temporary chairmanship was held
by Frank Carluccl, who announced the
object of the meeting, and hey pro
ceeded to effect an organization. Mr.
Carluccl was chosen chairman and
John Delre and Qlmllo Dalna, secre
taries. Told About tho Mafia.
On the stage were Arrlgonl Ferdln
ando, Joseph Collostrone, Raffaelo
Btaytlana, Stanlslav Dltyano, Pasquale
D'Ora. Joseph Uondl, John Margotta,
Volllarlo Astos, and John Coz
ziono. The first speaker Introduced
was Oimllo Dalna. an instructor in the
School of Mechanics. He spoke In Ital
ian, but preceded his speech with a
short side speech in English, addressed
to the representatives of the press, as
suring them that the story In the Times
was an infamous and scandalous mis
representation of the Italian colony,
that no such organization as a IMalla at
present exists In Seranton, or anywhere
In this country or Italy.
It did exist, he admitted, but
not In Seranton and Is now ex
tinct. There are bad, vicious and
criminal men among the Italian race,
but these are to be found, likewise,
among every class of people, and the
Italians should not 'be charged collec
tively and as a body with the crimes
of a vicious element.
Joseph Feresl, 'president of the Prince
of Naples society, of Dunmore, said
that that society Is for beneficial pur
poses, and the mutual advancement of
Its members. All Its deliberations are
conducted behind closed doors, tho
same as any other organization whose
business does not Interest the public,
but t'he doors are never locked.
Frank Williams, who does a little of
ficial business occasionally, being a
special officer, is president of the Cor
ona Dl Italian, of Dunmore, and he said
the Times could not have meant that
society, for there has been no meeting
of it since the second week of July.
Antonio Costanzo, president of the
Old Forge Guards of Rome, remarked
that the Italian residents of Old Forge
are -all law-abiding, honest men. The
soolety Is banded together for mutual
benefit, and not for the purposes of as
sassination. Salvntore Dl Martlno,
president of the Victor 'Emanuel so
ciety, read a prepared speech. In which
he di-nounced without stint the publi
cation of tine story.
Italians Here In 1870.
But It remained for Arrlgonl Ferdln-
ma liner, lie was proud, he said, to see
so many Italian residents of Seranton;
It made him reflect on the days in 1878.
when he came to this city and was prac
tically alone, not more than a half
dozen Italians having been here.
Mr. Ferdinando said he watched with
Interest the coming of a great many of
his countrymen to these parts, and he
noticed that us soon as any of them
landed and got settled it was their first
object to look for work. The first
Italian who came to 'Seranton secured
a job In the iMeadow Brook mines ot
William Connell ft Co., kept on work
ing, and being frugal and careful, as
the result of his labor ho acquired a lit
tle money. Invested it Judiciously, and is
now able to write his check for $15,01)0
or $20,000. The speaker said If a man
were to look through the audience he
would find that this man might be a
stonecutter, that one a machinist, car
penter, miner, shoemaker or laborer.
The gathering contained nearly every
naturalized Italian In the city and sur
roundings, and every man of them
works and earns an honest living.
Therefore, they are not criminals.
'Hut not long ago a cheap man came
to this town," Mr. Ferdinando said,
"you all know him; you can tell he is
lazy. This mirh looks like an Italian
and speaks like one, but he Is not; ho is
something else. The Italians are
charged with forming a foul conspiracy
to kill him. It is an Insult to the
Italians; If he has done anything
wrong, let the law take charge of him."
'Mr. Ferdinando left no doubt as to
who he meant by this cheap man. He
then explained the character of the so
cieties. In the first place, he said, It
Is one of the requisites to membership
In any of the Italian societies of this
city and county that a man must pro
duce his passports from Italy and any
man not having these documents, who
may have been compelled to flee for
some crime he committed there, can
never enter the societies.
Mentioned Four Seranton Doctors.
Dr. Clunster, Dr, Connell, Or. Burnett
and Dr. Gardner are engaged to minis
ter to the sick members or their fami
lies, and the speaker declared that none
of those men would align themselves In
any way with criminal societies. He
wound up his speech by shouting "Hur
rah for America from Maine to Call
fornla," and was Joined by all present.
Vlto Glrardo, Frank Caplollo, Louis
flalvlnl and others made remarks and
then the following resolutions were
adopted.
Whereas, The Seranton Times In sev
eral recent issues has made the accusa
tion that there exists among the Italians
of Seranton and vicinity a branch of the
Mania.
Resolved, That we, the representatives of
the Italian people of Snranton and vicin
ity, In mass meeting assembled, do In
dignantly protest against this infamous
accusation and declare It to be false and
without foundation.
We further declare that said acousatlon
Is designed to create unjust discrimina
tion against our working people; Is pre
judicial to the Interests of our business
men and a redoctloa upon the civilisation
of a people who arc striving to merit the
esteem and respect of tho American na
tion. W therefore request the floranton
Times to retract this unfair, false and In
jurious acousatian or to publish the names
of the persons who furnished the Informa
tion upon which said accusation was
based. And that a committee of tea be
appointed for putting Into effect the de
liberations by Invoking the law if it may
be necessary.
Before adjourning, (Nleolo Lettlere.
