IMPROVEMENTS AT BALTIMORE'S RACE COURSE— GOSSIP AND WORSE TALK WITH GROOMS AND TRAINERS—NOTED MONARCHS OF THR TURF IN TRAINING — SOMETHING 4S TO THEIR PEDI- oner. Baltimore Day, April 26th. A stretch of tender, green sward, encircled by & smooth, weil-raked track, over which numer- ous racers were being cantered by tiay grooms; white stables, lifting their edged roofs to the clear sky; the windows of the cimb-house gilit- tering in the sun, and enveloped in the warm breath of commingled sunshine and gentle breeze—such were the grounds of Pimlico race course yesterday as presented to the eye of o Day reporter occupying an eminence on the grand stand overlooking the whole. He had entered the grounds by the little gate opening out upon an avenue leading to the street-car line, but his approach was unnoticed by the krooms, who were intent upon curbing the im- petuous ardor of the slim-limbed horses they strode. Beyond the galloping steeds and their uncomfortable-looking riders not a human being nor horse was to be discerned. As far as the eye could reach within the enelosure of. the grounds no other figures appeared to mar the scene, and the reporter with deep interest watching the canterers until surprised by merry laughter and other pleasing sounds. A party of girls, with blooming cheeks and facea flushed with healthfal exercise, Jed by three Sisters of Merey, romped into the grounds, and, breaking into twos and threes, commenced an exploration. The charm was broken, the de- lightful calm and serenity of the picture were a yed, and with deep regrets the scribe de- ithe grand stand, mentally contrasting the difference in the appearance of Pimlico now and during race week. The time was 3 o'clock, and wondering at the quiet of Pimlico at that hour the Day man took a turn around the course and back to the grand stand, and thence to the stables in the rear. I asort of alleyway between two long were half a dozen little colored boys chuc' dice for buttons. “What are yon boys d there?” the inguiry. uthin’, only ‘usin’ ourselves.” was the reply of the urchins, without raising their eyes irom the game.

By this time the usual quiet had been dispelled, and from h of the 3 horses closely’ blanketed were being led out by the grooms.

One was completed about a week ago, and the other is quite fiaished. The newest one will accom- modate twelve horses with trainers’ quarters. ‘There are two rows of stallsopposite each other, with space enough in the center to stretch & horse without taking him cutside and subjecting him to the weather. Thebuilding is well con- structed with accessible lofts for fodder and the grooms. Major Ferguson called attention to the fact that the windows through which licht and airare admitted are of wire netting, as a safesuard against an attempt similar to that made to drug Tom Bassett. Improvements have been made in many other respects, and it is contemplated to open the large exii a luall under the grand stand upon the new rail- road track as a depot where shelter can be ob- tained by visitors to the races_while purchasing tickets.

So far as can be learned Blanche Dougiass does not actually know how or by what means Jennie was killed. Doubtless she has suspicions and opinions, but her actual knowledge is want- ing. And it does not appear that she intends to testify for the state. The appearances, so far, are the other way. She is charged with com- plicity inthe murder, and while she does not now speak to the Malleys, and says she will have nothing more to do with them, her counsel, so far, has acted in harmony with the Malley law- yers in the jury challenges. From the New Haven Union. A Union reporter to-day interviewed a gen- {acing connected with the Malley case as fol- lows: What is arsenic? “Arsenic,” 80 called, is the oxide of the true metal, and occurs in commerce in the form of crystals and a white powder; the latter is the more common. Is it bitter? On the contrary, it is almost tasteless; sweet~ ish only. You think Jennie Cramer died by arsenic? ‘There is no possible doubt of it. Does not her being found in the water imply a possibility of drowning ? No more than my being found in a pasture after a shower would imply a possibility of my having rained down. She took between two and four grains of arsenic, by whomsoever it was adininistered, and then to compticate the investixation and hide the perpetrators of the tragedy her body was thrown on to the flats. It remains for the state to show who did it and for what purpose—then the whole “mystery” 1s solved. What about the habit of taking arsenic? The evidence is all against it. Had she used it habitually the system would be saturated with the drug. But in this case arsenie, rapidly diffused, was quickly distributed to every part of the system, and death came quickly and by shocks. That is the whole story. Dangers of Eating, as Seen by a Etu- morist. About a year ago we had discarded everything that we thought was dangerous to the health, when we were startled on learning that sirup was adulterated with nitric acid, and that miasma lurked in the deadly folds of the board- ing-house batter cake. Figures were given to show that the dreadful batter cake habit was spreading, and prophesies were made that it would eventually ruin the constitution of the strongest devotee, and reduce the nation to a yast hospital of flap-jack invalids. So the bat- ter-cake was scratched off our list ot edible fruits, and next weut the fragrant codtish bail, bei it was sald to produce cold feet. Then we learned that the sad-faced and cohe- sive biscuit was a synonym of indigestion, and the unostentatious Kraut but another name for rheumatism, so that the biscuit and kraut had to go; tien we found out that castor-oll con- tained the germs of ingostatic molecules, what- ever that is, and were, therefore, forced to give up the use of that hilarious beverage. This thing went on till we had cut of every thing from our bill of fare but cistern water and chewing-cum, and yet found ourselves no stron- ger or healthier than when we were hastening to the tomb from the effects of urging ourselves with a heavy line of asserted poisons three or four times a day. About this time a man came along with a ma- gic lantern, and showed us that every drop of cistern water contained an aquarium of hideous marine monsters with wizgling tails, and adrag- gist told us that the habit of gum-chewing was a fruitful source of cancer. Next thing we did was to swear off being an infernal fool on the diet question, and now we eat anything and every thing that our teeth: will asticate or our palate commend, and we can work ten hours a day and see to read sinall print without spectacles. <= ee London Brigands and Their Methods. Fream the Pal. Mzii Gazette. Rufianly gangs may almost be regarded as ancient institutions. Every year they commit hundreds of offenses which are never made | known to the general public. They watch their opportunities very closely, and it is only where there is some misadventure or some mismanace- ment that any of their members are caught. There are eleven thousand policemen in London; but the majority are kept on regular “beats,” and their rounds are accurately timed by the yourg criminais who moy* about the metropolis ch of plunder. Take the Embankment as At night, before orders are given tor strengthening the force on duty. on® policeman was supposed to have charge of al) that portion which lies between theTemple Pier and the end of Blackfriars Bridge. It took him at least a quarter of an hoarto make his round, aud when he was at one end of his beat the roughs had complete command of the other. The gangs do not confine their operations to secluded thoroughfares; they effect crowds, and are much given to frequenting the centers of traffic. The stranger who strolls down White- chapel on Saturday night will notice that he is surrounded at some part of his journey by rough-looking youths, who, in thelr utter un- concern, have a habit of jostling against him without making the usual apologies. If he stands before a shop window he will probably receive a push from behind, and while he is looking round his watch will disappear. Shoul? he discover his loss and essay to chase the thief. the unconcerned looking youths will step quietly in his way, and when he stumble: against them, savagely inquire “who he’s shovin’.” These aro detachments of the gang, pursuing the quieter lines of business, risky but in the main profit- able. In secluded places their meth are different. In many cases they proceed straight- way to violence. The victim is tripped up sud- denly from behind, kicked into partial insensi- bility, and robbed before he is able to utter a cry. Very frequently a woman is one of the party. She salutes the passing stranger, and, if he pauses to speak to her, the signal is given to the gang and he is maltreated and robbed. Cases of this kind repeatedly come under the notice of the police, but seldom under that of the magistrates. The young roughs know all the windings and turnings, and have reckoned up their chances of escape before proceeding to violence. Itis seldom that any great number participate in acts of this nature. The gangs break up into small bands of five or six. or per- haps a dozen, and even these do not keep to- gether as with a common pu They strag- gle along as if there were no concert between them, and only combine when there is business in hand. The gangs usually muster in the greatest force on the occasion of a fire. At such times they select their victims carefully, surrounding and jostling them, and while one of their number makes off with a watch ora purse they render pursuit impossible, and even dangerous.

They were first cousins, and their betrothal was bitterly opposed by herparents. She was sentimental, however, and expressed her determination to follow Jesse's fortunes wherever they might lead, and to prevent an elopement the old peo- ple consented to the engagement. This was in 1869, just after Jesse had been made an outlaw under the civil code and & price set upon bis person. Their courtship lasted five years, dur- ing which time Jesse frequently visited his in- amotata at the residence of her parents in that city, and she several times went to his mother’s. Mrs. Samuels, at Kearney, to see him by appoint- ment. A SOFT-HEARTED LOVER. During one of these visits the two were to- gether in the yard at the Samuels residence when a party of five men, led by one of Pinker- ton's detectives, went to the house, and all the time they were searching the place Jesse iny on the ground within twenty feet of the door under the shadow of a rose bush, while his affianced was secreted in a fence corner, Mrs. James says that Jesse has frequently said since that if he had killed a couple of these men it might have saved his stepbrother’s life and his mother’s arm, but he refrained because he was afraid his sweet- heart might be injured in the melee. They were married April 24, 1874, at the residence of the bride’s sister, Mrs. W. B. Browder, of Kearney, the Rey. William James, a cousin, officiating, and the following month they went to Sherman, ‘Texas, where a sister of Jesse lives. PROFITS OF ROBBERIES. ‘Mrs. James took occasion to denounce the re- ported estimate of Jesse's stealings, which, if true, would have made him a rich man at his death. She declares that so far from havinghad at any one time $600,000 he never had that sum in all his life, putting every sent into the calcu- lation. The Gads Hill affair netted about $2,000, of which he received one-fifth, and upon that they went to Texas for their honeymoon. Things grew hot in Sherman, and they moyed to Dallas in September, where they remained until the winter of 1874 and_1875, when Mrs. James re- turned to Kansas City and visited her sister, Mrs. McBride, aud other relatives for several months, while Jesse went onascout. It about this time that the Corinth (Miss.) and Muncie (Kan.) robberies were committed, in both of which Jesse participated. After giving an account of several robberies, and of how her husband and she moved about to Nashville, Baltimore and other places to evade the officers of justice, she said she did not attempt to defend her husband's crimes, but de- clared that he was charged with a thousand offences he never committed, among which were the Kansas City Exposition robbery and various stage robber in Colorado and Texas. Of Jesse's dress, she says that he and his brother were always tasty, and inclined to be stylish in their attire, but that Jesse never wore a frock coat, as_he was said to have done while living here. His coat was short, and for that reason he usually carried but one revolver when cn the strect to prevent its being noticed. Ais arms she now has carefully stowed away where no one can see them. When asked about Frank and others of the old party she declared she did not Know; that Frank was at their house once or twice during their residence in Tennessee, but she had not seen him fortwo years. The others, with the exception of the Hite brothers, who were her cousins, and Dick Little, she never saw in her life. A DEFENCE OF GOVERNOR CRITTENDEN. The St. Louis Republican quotes Colonel W. Moberly as saying: “I want to say to yon that Lthink Governor Crittenden did exactly right when he had Jesse James killed, and he de- serves the thanks of every law-abiding citizen in Missouri. Iam not a democrat, and would not yote for Governor Crittenden, but T'll stand by him in this matter every time. There are few men in this State who know any more about. bushwhacking than I do, aud I am in favor of clearing out such infernal devils as Jesse James without merey.” When Colonel Moberly was asked if he did not think Jesse James could have been captured alive by a large force of men, he replied: ‘No, He would have killed a dozen men at least, and then perhaps would have made his. escape after all. [had the pleasure of killi some of Quantrell’s mea, and they were literal girdled with revolvers. Quantrell used to sit on his horse with his rems in his teeth and fire with both hands. These are facts that I have told you, but 1 could not repeat them at the time, for I was surrounded by these men for three years. Bill Anderson once sent word to Huntsville that he was coming there to take the town at acevtain time, but the people didn’t believe it. They didn’t suppose he would at- temp but at the appointed time he rode into town, robbed the bank, murdered the people on every hand and made his escape. In Moberly once I received a note from hira, saying that he would be vere the next dayto take the town and I knew he would keep kis word unless I could prevent it. So I started off with 500 men that night, waylaid him as he was coming to the city and Killed severai of his men. He did nov visit Moberly, but he would have done it if I hadn't waylaid him. No, sir; Governor Critten- den was right, and every tan in the ‘tate ought to stand by him ia this matter.” MORE OUT™.AW BANDS. Of another and fresh band of outlaws the St, Louis Republican reports as follows: “The Texas train robbers are in the field again and have scored another signal victory. They came forth last night from one of the most natural retreats fur the robbers and highwaymen that could be selected In Texas, from among the mountain fastnesses of the Upper Brazos river, what is known as the Horseshoe Bend and the Palo Pinto Creek canyons, where miles of trestle a hundred feet or more in height are crossed, and where projecting crags and scrub cedars rise up sky- ward along the mountain sides thousands of feet above the railroad track. This vicinity is of course almost totally uninhabited, and is believed to be the rendezvous for a desperate gang of outlaws. It is believed they emerged from the spot described for the reason that their work was done but a few miles to the west of it at Ranger, the first station west of Canyon Spur. En- couraged by sympathy expressed for the defunct Jesse James five beardless boys came to the front as bold and fearless as ever. They materialized at a point a little further west than was ex- pected, but they got in their work all the same. The robbers were five in number. The oldest one was not apparently above eighteen years of age. They were dressed as cowboys, except the one who rob bed the express car, who wore a red shirt oe hed ped ® be some noted Highway man.
