Brxxrxos, April 5.—With the weather just cold enough to bring a touch of color to the cheeks of the fair ones on the grand stand and the track dried out to a splendid condition the fourth day at the new Bennings course opened today. The card was the same as posted for yesterday, when the races were postponed on account of the weather and by the number and excellence of the entries promise an excellent day’s sport. The crowd out today compares very favorably with the previous days, The stand and club house porches are well filled, while the pool lawn presents its usual animated appearance. The chill in the air has prevented as many carriages from occupying the infield as on Thursday, but their occupants are here just the same, seated in more sheltered positions on the stand. The track has shown its quality by the good condition it is in today after the heavy rains yesterday. It has not yet been definitely settled whether the meeting will be continued during next week, but itis probable that Monday will be the last day. The entries for the races today are as follows: First race—For two-year-olds; five-eighths of a mile. Sequence colt, Coriolanus, Best Boy, Ceries colt, 110 each; Sarah Hall, 107; Captain Wagener, 115; Helen Wallace filly, Helen 8, 107 each, ‘ Second race—One mile, for three-year-olds, Bias, Sophist, Pall Mall, 101 each; Little Ella, 103; Infatuation, 96.

It Looks Like a Good Fight Between Corbett and John L. uarters of a Bostox, Mass., April 5.—Jobn L, Sullivan was seen last night with regard to the published re port that J. M. Corbett, the San Francisco heavy weight, was anxious to try his skill against the champion. “I’m more than ready to meet Corbett,” said Sullivan, “but only on one condition. If we are to box four ronnds I'll contract to put him to sleep in that time. If I succeed I am to get $1,000. If 1 don’t he gets the money. No half- and-half business about it. These contests for gate receipts savor too much of faking. You can say thatJobn L. Sullivan will fight Corbett four rounds for $1,000, and if he doesn’t whip him in that time won't accept a cent.” Secretary M. J. Slattery, of the Gladstone Club of Providence, who was present at the interview, said the club would give a purse of $1,000 for the contest if it could be arranged for April 23. Billy Mahoney and John L. are desirous of getting on a match between Jack McAuliffe and Patey Kerrigan, and will back the latter for $2,500. ———— The Chicago Plumbers. Cuicaao, April 5.—Yesterday developed little that was new in the plumbers’ strike and the most significant feature of the day was the influx of plumbers from other cities. Strikers and employers hold out with equal persistency. ‘The plumbing business throughout the city is practically suspended. Sir Samuel’s Criticism.

Cepar Rartps, April 5.—In the famous Cer- nau Scottish Rite case against the Grand Lodge of Iowa Judge Preston yesterday overruled a motion of the defense to throw the suit out of court on the alleged ground that the court has no jurisdiction in the matter, the Cernau Scot- tish Rite not being an incorporated body. The Cernaus consider this . decisive victory, —— A Mysterious Yacht. Toroxto, April 5.—Yesterday afternoon a large yacht was sighted headed for this port under full sail, An hour later she seemed to be in distress. but before a boat sent out from the fort could reach her she capsized, No person was = found aboard the ‘Vessel, though all indicated that she had been manned. Her sails were all set and her center- board was down, and « man's hat was found in alocker. The name Idler was painted on the stern. None of the yachtsmen in this city know anything about the yacht or her crew, all of whom are supposed to have perished. ——._—_. the circumstance: The Unlucky Steamer. New York, April 5.—Up to this afternoon the Frehch steamer Panama, which ran ashore at Jones’ Inlet, L.1., early Thursday morning, has not been gotten off and the wind, by shift- ing to the southwest today, drove the vessel further up on the shore and it is now feared that the steamer will go to pieces. The cargo, which is a perishable one and very valuable, it is feared will become a loss, if not very considerably damaged. Several tugs areat the scene of the wreck and every effort is being made to get the steamer off. eae Germans Who Are Clear-Headed. Sursoyeay, Wis., April 5.—The annual con- vention of the delegates of the turners for the district of Wisconsin, which gathered here yes- terday, is likely to play an important part in the turning of public sentiment in favor of the now famous Bennett law. About one hundred delegates are present, representing all of the | turn societies in the state which are members of the National Turner Bund. It is certain that a resolution will be introduced, and quite as certain that it will be passed by a large majority, indorsing the principles of the Ben- nett law and protesting against the interference of the churches of any denomination with the public schools of the state or the right of the state to control all schools so far as compulsory education in the language of the country is concerned. ———_—_ Telegraphic Briefs.

Whether the robbery was committed at the bank or while the package was in transit in the hands of the express company was for a time a puzzling question, A New York Herald dispatch from Zeguciga- lapa, Honduras, announces the arrest there of Edmund Sturgis Crawford, formerly a clerk in the bank, and the recovery from him of a large ion of the stolen money. Crawford, the itch states, has made a confession implicat- ing two others, He, with another clerk, was entrusted with the delivery of the package to the express company, ‘A year after the robbery Crawford resigned from the bank on the plea of ill-health and went to Honduras, where he engaged in the manage- mentof a farm, But his movements were watched, important evidence was secured,and a few months ago one of the Pinkertons went to Honduras, with the result that Crawford has been arrested. ———_+e9+_____ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

He rose’ by regular promotions, to\ the ‘Tank of rigs: dier general April 27, 1864, and commanded the so-called “Vermont brigade” to the close of the war.

His service as a volunteer was a brilliant one, and at the close of the war earned for him an appointment as colonel of the tenth cavalry in the regular army, which post he has filled ever since. He has been acting as brigadier general ever since the death of Gen. Sheridan, in com- mand of the Department of Arizona. He stood at the head of the list of colonels of the army.

God help you and the little ones and forgive me for what I am about to do, “Your loving husband, Frep.” Such was the note that Fred Reichentach ‘Sddressed to his wife and put in his pocket be- fore taking his own life this morning, which he did by shooting himself in the right temple with a “bull dog” revolver. Frederick Reichenbach was well known in this city. He was one of the best piano tuners here and was in the employ of the Knabe Com- pany. He came here from Baltimore a aum- ber of years ago and married a daughter of Judge Plant. HIS COMPOSED MANNER BEFORE THE ACT. This morning he appeared at the Washington branch of the Knabe Piano Company on Market space and reported for duty as usual. He was ‘Unusually pleasant to the young man in charge of the store, but the latter noticed something strange about Reichenbach’s appearance and asked him: “What's the matter?” “Oh, nothing,” was Reichenbach's reply. He took off his hat and coat and was ready to work, There were some tuning orders on the book for Alexandria and they were assigned to him. . Taking the addresses on a piece of paper he put the slips in his pocket and left the store, going across to thesouth side of Penn- sylvania avenue, but instead of going to the steamboat wharf or depot to go to Alexandria he walked as faras the Smithsonian grounds and from there he passed through the parks until he reached the monument grounds near the frdnt entrance to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. THE LAST SCENE OF ALL. ‘Taking the path leading to the propagating Rardens he wended his way along and around the fence. Then he walked some distance until he reacked a large magnolia tree, where _— there is alittle knoll above the marshy ground where the tide makes up. Undef the magnolia blossoms he rested his weary form and Placed his head on the green.sod beside him. Then he crossed his legs and in a few seconds he had passed into the other world. He only fired one shot, but that proved sufi- cient and death must have ensued almost instantly, The men at work in the gardens heard the shot, but they paid no attention to it, as there are gunners on the flats shooting birds almost every day, THE BODY DISCOVERED. Nearly half an hour afterward a colored woman who was making a short cut across the marshy path saw the body of the dead man and 4 pool of blood near his head, She hastened toa house near by and informed Miss Annie Sullivan of the ghastly find. Word was at once sent to the propagating ardens and then the police were notitied. Vhen Lieut, Amiss and Officer Cross went with the patrol wagon for the body a number of persons had collected there, among them several persons from ths White House, The revolver which had | done the deadly work was lying ou the ground near the body and there was enough to satisfy the officers that the man had committed j Suierde, but some one suggested that he had been beaten and then the officers searched his pockets for some evidence in the shape of a letter, with the re- sult above stated. The body was placed in the patrol wagon and taken home to his wife and children at No, 1003 8th street northwest and Coroner Patterson was notified. ———— The Steel-Wild Court-Martial. The Steel-Wild court-martial is transferred from Chicago to Washington, the record of the court having been received at the War Depart- ment this morning.

A poor colored woman, named Maria Butler, made, as she supposed, ample arrangements for her decent burial without taxing the cor- poration. Because she could not bear the idea of being laid im the ground with the outcasts and paupers in Potterstield she insured her life and has been paying, it is claimed, 10cents week since, anticipating the payment of @40 at her death, which would defray her funeral ex- penses, Maria died this week and the policy was presented, but the $40 was not forthcom- ing. Health office offigials were appealed to and one of the employes, it is stated, went to the representatives of the insurance company with a certified copy of Maria’ death certificate and then the <u policy was discounted. The amount paid was $3.40, the exact amount that Maria had paid in on her policy. The matter was reported to Detective Raff, who will investigate the case. In ine abseuce of the necessary funds Maria's body was yester- day placed in a common pine cofiin and interred in Votter’s field. cate Swan DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

This morning in the Police Court Prosecuting Attorney Armes called Judge Miller's attention to the civil service cases in which C. A. New- ton, president, and J.J. Verser, treasurer of the Old Dominion Republican League figure as de- fendants, and said that Mr. Edmunfl Burke, counsel for Mr. Verser, desired time to consult with his associate counsel before entering upon a trial of the case. ‘Who is the associate counsel?” asked the court. “Judge Houk of Tennessee,” responded Mr. Burke. “Have you seen him this morning?” “I have not, your honor, and I don’t care to go to trial without consulting the judge.” Mr. Armes suggested that the cases be set for next Wednesday. The judge thought the cases had better be continued indefinitely and then set a day for trial after consulting with counsel, Mr. Armes said he would rather have a day fixed for the hearing; and if that day does not suit, another day could be fixed. The court thereupon postponed the cases until next Wednesday and the witnesses were discharged until chat day.
