Flattery Takes the First—Walkover For Judge Morrow. Perfect weather, a hardly less perfect track, a very large attendance and five well-filled Club at Benning. The Third Artillery Band added much to the occasion. ‘More than 300 horses are on the ground, every stable at the track being occupied, and several stables are quartered at the Ivy City track. The numerous entries in today’s races indicate that there will be no lack of material for excellent racing, and speculation on the va- rions events will be thet much more open, a matter which will bring about better odds. The principal event of today is the Durang handicap, a stake race at 134 miles, which Judge Morrow, the winner of last year's Brook- lyn handicap, is supposed to have at his mercy, bat which Walcott, at the difference in weights, should win. Tho judges were George M.

Collapse of 2 Wall Carrying Down Four- teen Workme: Crxerxvatt, April 24—A partition wall in the electric lighting building now being erected at the southeast corner Hunt street and Broad- way collapsed this morning, precipitating four- teen workmen into the cellar, a distance of forty feet, At the time of the accident there were nearly fifty men, including carpenters, _brick- layers and laborers at work in vari- ous parts of the building. 2 majority of them being on the fourth floor. The four outer walls were completed, but the partition walls had just begun to peep over the fourth. ‘The center section gave way, carrying the workmen with it. John Hull,a married man, fifty-five years old, was instantly killed. ‘The fatally injured are: FrankWeinewuth, head crushed; Ed Weinewuth, crushed about body; ‘A. Scbumast, internal injuries; Elijah Johnson, internal injuries. The seriously injured are: William Thomp- son, aged thirty-eight, back crushed; John Rowman, head cut; John Fox, head cut. All are bricklayers and helpers. It is supposed the accident was caused by a weak foundation. After the dead and all the injured had been carried away a rumor was started that there were four more men in the wreck. Policemen and firemen went into the cellar and worked around, but no other bodies could be found. piri weds I WAS A FAILURE. The Strike Ordered on the World’s Fair Grounds. Curcaco, April24.—The strike ordered yes- terday by the central council of carpenters to take place today was a failure in so far as it affected the world’s fair and was nearly @ failure as far as it affected the entire city. Every carpenter, union and non-union em- ployed by the exposition company reported for duty this morning and nothing was heard or said about the resolution calling out all the men employed on buildings where non-union carpenters were employed. je number of men who left their work | on various jobs in the city outside of | the exposition grounds is about 300. The | highest number to strike on any one build- ing was twenty-two. The strike was directed | only against contractors who attempted to work | union and non-union men together and of those there were only a few and they employed small gangs of men. Seventy privates and ten sergeants of the Columbian Guards _ resigned this morning. ‘Their grievances are similar to those which caused the large num- ber of resignations yesterday. Nearly all of | those quitting are veterans in the service, but | Col. Rice ciaims to have enough recruits to fill their place. a A LIQUOK LICENSE HEARING. Wholesale Deslers Present Their Case and the Temperance People Are Represented. Before sending out notices to the saloon keepers to take out a license under the new law or close their places of business the Commis- sioners today gavea hearing to those interested in the matter. The saloon men were on hand in | force. aud the temperance advocates had sev- | eral of their best talkers to oppose them. | Mr. Horatio Browning was the first to speak. | He said that the people were beginning to think | quor question. A change | of administration always affected business | interests. This new law would take out also influcuce business interests, until there | would be a general depression. Then again on November 1 the taxes become due, and this drain upon the banks would also tend to | hurt business interests, especially as the business men were at that time just begin-| ning to put in their winter's supply and needed | ‘he money they could get. Washington is ma very precarious condition. Already he | all Liquor | dealers that they could not comply with the new law and that he would have to take | back the goods he had sold them in damaged | condition. If the law was not enforced until | portunity to get rid of their stock, and re- heve the wholesalers of much embarrassment. IN BEALE OF THE WHOLESALE GRocERS. | The wholesale grocers were represented by Messrs. Frank Hume,N.H.Shea, Horatio Brown- | ingand T. F, MeCauley. Mr. Louis Schade | spoke for them. He said that | there no doubt = that the li-| censes issue under the old law were issued in | good faitiABF nd distinetly tated that they were to run for the full term or until the first day of November. 1898, ‘The money was received States. This, he maintained, was well known to Congress, and that body did not intend that the Commissioners should construe the new law so as to force the taxpaye | to take out another license and forfeit the | old one before it had expired. He read from section 17 of the new law and argued that | the words “during the preceding license year” spplied to the year which ends November 1, | 1893. Congress, he said, clearly did not intend | to passa retroactive law which would be un- | Coustitutional. Mr. Shade read from the Con- gressioual Record of February 14, in which the discussion between Messrs. Campbell, Hemphill sud Pickler took place. The Com- missioners, he said, had no right to declare « rusn’s license forfett and compel him to take Out a new license, neicher had they the right to | give him credit under the new law for the | money paid for a license under the old law. ‘Then again he saw need for taking so much money from the ple and thereby increase the big pile in the treasury. | Concluding he said that the repeal | clause at the ead of the mew jaw does not authorize the Commissioners to commence the | license year in March, and all licenses issued | under the old law will have to run out first be- | fore new ones cai | . be issued. ' Mr. N.-H. Shea said that the bill which had | bee: law was not drafted in Congress, as | ally supposed. He was one of a) e that prepared the bill, and he could esy positively that it was not the inten- tion to have it go into effect until November 1. WHAT 4B. CANFIRLD saxD. Mr. N. A. Canfield, chairman of the commit- Selling; ix furlongs. | Hustler. | Higa | submit to the penaities under | have been on tee on legislation of the order of Good Tem- plare, was the next to speck He said that the tem) le would have been glad if this law could have been allowed to run its course. He found that agitation means education and saloon keep- erseach year experience more trouble to obtain the requisite signatures to their applications for licenses. Experience has proven that where conditions improve the liquor saloon vanishes. As an instance take any of the localities that are not being built up. At first a saloon keeper finds little trouble in getting the signatures, but as new residents come and new houses up difficulties spring up. until finally he is Forced out of the locality. While it is true that saloons bring money into the treasury, it is ually true that it increases taxes.takes paupers of countless numbers, destroys homes and blights life. We object to a saloon keeper holding a license under the old law without having to be amenable to the rules and regula- tions and laws of that old law. A LIVELY CoLLogur. The speaker was here interrupted by Mr. Schade, who demanded to know what right he had to be present at this meeting when he was a prohibitionist, to which Mr. Canfield replied that be bad the right of any citizen to be heard upon a public question. ‘This seemed to anger Mr. Shade, who e: claimed: “What right have you to come here and abuse honest citizens when your position is only hypocrisy Mr. Canfield replied by reading the first portion of the new law, which he explained was virtually prohibition The act, however, further along made certain provisions whereby an applicant, after complying with certain conditions, would be permitted to sell. ‘Ihe law must be all good or all bad. ‘The liquor men cannot choose the sweet and reject the sour. Mr. Canfield explained that he = did not appear before the Commissioners for the Purpore of attacking a person. It was the usiness which he was attacking, and as long asa saloon existed he would be found fight- ing it. Mr. John R. Mahoney, high secretary of tho Order of Rechabites of the Cnited States, read the repeal clause of the new law, which he maintained was pln enough in its terms. The law was good or bad, and if the or men wanted the old law they must This liquor business is a nuisance. Everybody admits that. The people condemn it and the courts uphold them. He hoped the Commissioners would stand firm and not take a back track. Mr. Shade again interposed some warm re- marks, but wax called to order. Mr. Frank Madigan hoped the Commissioners would not issue the order until Mr. Henry E. | Davis, who was the counsel of the liquor men, had had an opportunity to present his case. ‘The meeting then adjourned. ——— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ECKINGTON AND THE FIRE LIMITS, In reply to the request of certain citizens for the Commissioners to change the fire limits s0 as rot to imelnde Eckington, Building In spector Entwisle, to whom the mat- ter was referred, today reported: “I am of the opinion’ that to preserve the future character of the buildings conforming to those now built, that if the line of fire limit now running east’ and west on T street is changed to run south on 2d street east to R street north and then along R street due east to the Corcoran road, that it would inelude still a portion that shon!d be built up with brick buildingsand affords tie opportunity to continue the erection of the class of neat villas that so far occupy this section.” ————_— Silver Purchases, The Treasury Department today purchased 525,000 ounces of silver. as follows: 165,000 at 90.8340; 360,000 at 20.8944. The offera were 1,173,000 ounces. The silver purchased for the mouth, including today, aggregates 3,791,- 000 ounces. +00) Death of Hamilton G. Fant. Mr. Hamilton G. Fant, an old resident of the District and years ago one of the leading financiers of Washington, died last evening at his home, No. 14i4 N street northwest. Mr. Fant was seventy- four years old. He was a member of the banking firm of Fant, Rittenhouse & Fowler, which was located’ for many years on Pennsylvania avenue near 7th street, and was regarded as one of the - leading brnking firms of its day. = Mr. Fant was in his days of activity — public-spirited citizen and —_con- nected, many enterprises and public movements. He met with business reverses and for upward of twenty years has lived in retirement. ee The Monetary Conference. ‘The Belgian minister had a conference with the Secretary of State this afte noon, presuma- bly m regard to the international monetary conference. If it is true, as that the next meeting of thé conference has been postponed from May to September, it is undoubtedly because of the preference of the United States for the latter date, ‘The arrangement was that should reassemble Muy 30. provided the United States preferred that to a later date, but in the latter event the announcement of « postpone- ment should be made by the Belgian govern- ment. Sega Word from Accable message was received at the Navy Department today announcing the arrival of the United States steamship Alert at Chemulpo, Corea, as the relief of the gunboat Petrel,which isunder orders to proceed to Bering sew to assist im the enforcement of the modus vivendi.

Now that the roads are getting in good con- dition after the annual resurfacing the number of wheelmen appearing on them is steadily creasing. The sume may also be said of other vehicles, especially carriages. For the reason that the road is good the drivers of horses bave already commenced to speed their steeds, and some of the wheelmen have had reason to com- plain of their recklessness, As printed in Tue Stan recently, the toligate | keeper at Sligo was seriously injured by one of these dri county o! and, although the Montgomery is as well ax the police of this city the lookout for the driver of the vehicle, he hus not vet been apprebended. ‘The action of Maj. Moore and Lieut. Swin- dells in stationing police officers along the Conduit road has puta stop toa great deal of fast and reckless driving on that thoroughfare wnd the wheelmen hope the same action will soon be taken with reference to Brightwood avenue, where most of the fast and reckless | driving is now being done. THE CHEVY CHASE CLUB. ‘Two Sets of Races to Be Kun at the Be: Track. Trouble is said to be brewing in the Chevy ‘Chase Hunt Club as the sequel to the slap ad- mimistered by Mr. Robert M. Neville at a horse show in New York several months ago upon the cheek of Mr. 8. S. Howland. No duel fol- lowed, the courts being resorted to, where Mr. Neville paid a fine for bis act. The hunt club did not expel Mr. Neville, a matter not alto- gether Pleasing to Mr. Howland.

The Chevy Chase lub, desirous of giving Washington an oppor- tanity to enjoy good sport withont the neces- | sity of mingling with the obnoxious elementa often found at professional races, conceived the idea of securing dates for a meet at this city, and they chose Mr. Neville asa member of the board of stewards. When the Chevy Chase committee went to confer with the Pony Association they found that Mr. Howland had secured dates on May 11, | 12 and 18 for a meet in which the Chevy Chasers should participate only upon bis terms, . H | had also secured an option on the Benni | race track for these dates, provided the Jockey Club did not hold over. The Chevy Chasers | Secured two additional dates from the associa- tion, May 15 and 16, and also leased the Ivy | City track. Howland persuaded the A. H. and | ‘Then Mr. | P. B. Association to impose the condition on | the Chevy Chase that only horses | which had been entered at Mr. Howland’s race | could be accepted on their own course. This | was a serious obstacle, since it seemed that in order to make their own meet successful they must assist Mr. Howland. x However, it is said that the Chevy Chase | men have decided to enter their horses for Mr. | Howland’s meet, but not to permit them to | run. Thus at a trifling expense of entrance fees they will secure the right to participate in | their own races, and at the same time leave Mr. Howland to run his meeting without their | horses. JOCKEYS’ BIG EARNINGS. | Owners and Trainers Overrun With Appli- cations, ‘The big stories of the earnings of jockeys, says the New York Tridune, have borne fruit. | ‘The owners and trainers are overrun with ap- plications for work by boys of all classes, from | the “gutter snipe” to the “dude,” and some- thing had to be done to check the onslaught. | A good-looking young man applied for a place | at one of the Morris Park stables a few days ago, nd his reception was simply “immense,” as one f the owners put it. He weighed 115 pounds. | “Too heavy,” said the trainer to whom his ap- | plication was made. “I'll reduce,” was the re- ply. All the trainers and stable boys og the | track were apprired of the fact that there was a | new comer, aud they gutheredon the backstretch | to see the fan. It was about 10 o'clock, after ail the horses ind bad their morning's work. Vi ots to the club house saw something coming | down the stretch the like of which had never | before met their eves.

He | ran at top speed down the hill three or four times and then was taken to the scales to see how much he had reduced. He tipped the beam at 113 pounds. “Not enough,” said his employer. He was turned over to the tender mercies of the stable boys, who took him to « manure heap and buried him up to his neck where they left him to suffer and reflect fo: hour. When taken out, more dead than alive, | bone, His weight was now 109 pounds, and | the trainer said: “My boy, you'll do.” He did | do. He is now at work, and bas the respect of | the entire track. A boy who can go through what be did is bound to succeed. The resuits at Elizabeth have shown in most cases the fatuousness of trying to get a line on the thoroughbreds of one season by the work of another season which has passed and gone. however. and they will be found playing the form of ‘93 when the first of the summer horses go to the post in “MM, and wondering, too, why their judgment is so far wrong. It is fair to say that much can be to'd from the perform- ances of a previous year when the horses once | get their form. It cannot be of much avail until that is assured. The fact that Dr. Has- brouck was the greatest sprinter of 1892. for instance, is of the greatest importance in itself in determining the status of the horse in hjs races of the present season. It would, for instance, be hazardons to bet on him in a mile ora mile and a quarter event. But until he gets his form for this year the fact of his holding the record at five furlongs has no particular significance. After he has pertormed once or twice to indicate that he has got the requisite strength and endurance for a race, then all that can pe known about his work of former years, or the remembering of it, will be of invaluable advantage to the bettor in rightly lacing him among his competitors, The talent, owever, at the outset begin to judge by the | form which the horse had when he went into | the stable for a five or six months’ rest, for- | getting what may have happened from sickness | or results from former injury in the time to set | him back.

Notwithstanding that this is the world’s fair year there will be three trotting meetings | given during the season. The first will be given in June, and then will | come the great August meeting of two weeks, | beginning on the 2ist, preceding the trotting meeting to be given at Washington Park by the | northwestern breeders, ‘This, a8 usual, will be the big meeting of the year.

Chadick, a promi- nent railroad man of the territory, at the Eb- bitt this morning, ‘‘its mineral wealth and great natural advantages and resources will surprise people. “It is altogether a magnificent country. The eastern portion is somewhat mountainous, the ranges being from 900 to 600 feet in height. It is heavily ‘timbered, has numerous running streams, while its deposits of coal are immense and of the best quality, equal to the best bi- tuminous coal mined, and nine-tenths of the coal supply of Texas comes from this district. ‘The western portion is fine agricultural land. “I think, together with most of the residents of the territory, that it will not be accorded territorial government, but will be admitted ae & state, and it will be in a position to assume Statehood from the start. and most of them will be built, the companies having obtained concessions from the last Con- gress, The Rock Island has two concessions, one running southeast, probabiy to connect at Denison, Tex., and in time to be extended to New Orleans. The southwestern extension will probably go on to El Paso. The Hutchi- son, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad will also cui through the territory into Texas. The Inter- oceanic railroad will probably be built in con- nection with the Choctaw Coal and Railroad Company and the Little Rock and Memphis railroad, eventually forming a through lime to Albuquerque along the thirty-fifth parallel, which will make it the shortest overland route. “Railroad building in the United States is not at present active, but 1 look for a revival and it will be in this new country. One reason why American railroad securities are slow in Europe is because there exists across the water a fear that this country will eventually come to silver basis, American railroad bonds and interest are payable in gold. Our @1 silver certificates, which represent and pass here for their full face vaine, are worth in Earope their silver value—65 cents. The railroads here must dos dollar's worth of work for a silver dollar, but when we come to settle our acconts in Earope we settle on « gold basis.” “The reapportionment of the legislative and congressional districts in my state,” said Judge J. Lambert Tree, ex-minister to Russia, at the Arlington this morning, “which our democratic legislature has undertaken, will give the demo- eratie party a proper recognition.

The odds are in favor of the germs, if our liver is inactive and our blood impure. ‘What is needed most is an increase in our germfighting strength. To do this success- ‘ully you need to put on healthy flesh, rouse the liver to vigorous action, so it will throw ese germs, and purify so that | there will’ be no “weak spot,” nor’ soll for | germ-growth. ‘We claim for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, that it does all this in a way pecu- liar to itself. It is the development of gen- erations of medical thought—it has stood the test of a quarter of a century of cures. That is why the makers can guarantee it. In every trouble caused by torpid liver or impure blood, if the ‘ Discovery” fails to benefit or cure, your money is refunded.
