THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. ST. ASAPH STAKES Entries for the Fifteen Events Made Known. OVER FOUR HONDRED ON THE List Some of the Best Known Horses in the East. GENERAL SPORTING TOPICS Secretary McIntyre of the Virginia Jockey Club today announced the entries to the fifteen stakes to be run at the St. Asaph track during April and May. To “the fifteen stakes 402 entries were made, an unusually large number, when the pres- ent uncertainty in the racing world is considered. With the exception of the Virginia handicap stakes, the amount of money in each of the stakes is $1,000, $200 to the second horse and $100 to the third. The conditions required that $10 ‘should accompany every entry, $30 additional for starters. The added money in the handi- cap is $1,500, $300 to the second horse and $200 to the third, $25 to accompany every entry, $0 additional for starters. This race will be run May 6.

The important question of horse racing in New York state was practically settled yesterday afternoon, if the judgment of the cubcommittee of four of the assembly ecdes committee is taken. At a meeting of the subcommittee, consisting of Mr. Wild, Mr. Percey, Mr. Vacheron ani Mr. Blake, it was announced that the Jockey Club, anxious to make every possible con- cession in order to get an enabling act, had decided to agree to the suggestion that a committee of three be appointed by the governor to govern racing in the state. Mr. Percey agreed to the amendment with Mr. Wild, and while Messrs. Vach- eren and Blake also agreed, they asked until this morning before they signed the rerort. The subcommittee will report the bill to the full committee, and the full committee, it is belleved, will report it favorably to the house. The bill will provide that the governor shall appoint a state commission of three members, to serve for five years each, without salary. They shall have the power to license all tracks where running herses exclusively are used. They are to have no control of trotting associations or their tracks. After the licenses are grant- ed the New York Jockey Club is to have the power to revoke or suspend a license, but the managers of any track, the license of which is revoked or suspended, shall have the right to appeal to the state board, and the state board’s action shall be deemed to be final. The clause of the bill regarding betting is left as in the origin- ally introduced measure, so as to allow the making of a private wager. All pool sell- ing and registered bets are forbidden. Mr. Percey said last night that this bill is now satisfactory to every racing asso- ciation in the state. Crack New England Billiardists, Fred Ames of Boston, champion billiard- ist of New England, and Charles Campbell of Lynn were pitted against each other last night in the opening game of a series for the championship of New England balk line game at Boston. Ames easily 1an the limit, 400 points, while Campbell scored 115. The tournament will continue during the week. Poor Starting at St. Asnph’s. Those who attended the second day’s rac- ing of the Virginia Jockey Club at the St. Asaph’s track yesterday experienced de- cidedly wintry weather. It was cold and raw, and several times snow flurries passed over. The fields were small and probably will be for several days yet, but the racing was feirly interesting, and as four favor- {tes and a second choice won, the fifteen bookmakers had a rather bad day of it. While the work of Starter Fitzgerald on Monday was as good as that of the high- priced wielders of the flag heretofore seen here, yesterday it was just as bad. Mr. Fitzgerald is evidently capable and of good judgment, but he is seriously handicapped by a timid or incompetent assistant, and no starter, however able, can do fine work without the assistance of a courageous, en- ergetic and competent assistant starter. In the second race the very bad start alone beat the favorite, Dutch Lady, and the start in the fourth race was bad, although Wah Jim could evidently not have been beaten. The weight was too much_ for Hoey in the fifth event, and Pay or Play, whose odds ran from 10 to 40 to 1, ge easily, the favorite finishing next to last. The winners were: Tarentum, 1 to 2; Capt. Jack, 3 to 1; Pekin, 6 to 5; Wah Jim, 1 to 2; Pay or Play, 25 to 1, and Tinge, 1 to 5. The Departmental League. At a meeting of the Departmental Base Ball League last evening the committee on revision of the rules reported one change that is of vital importance to the organiza- tion. It provides that no player not a bona fide employe of the depariment represented by his club shall be permitted under any circumstances to take part in any cham- pionship game, and any game in which such player or players do participate shall be declared forfeited without further action on the part of the league. Any member of @ team in the league who ha3 been released shall not be eligible to play on any other team in the league until two weeks shall have elapsed from the time the notice of ie release has been received by the secre- ry. There are three applications for the eighth Place in the league, and that of the Light ae is regarded with great apprecia- jon, Columbian’ Nine Won. The first local intercollegiate base ball game of the season was played yesterday at Kendall Green, the home team meeting defeat at the hands of the Columbian Uni- versity nine by 15 to 6. Batteries—Colum- bian, Laughlin, Bates and Medford; Ken- dall Green, Keene and Rasson. Base Ball Notes. Rain prevented the Boston-Washington game at Charleston, S. C., yesterday. The Brooklyns defeated the Pittsburgs yesterday for the third time, at Savannah, by 6 to 3, Each side made 13 hits. The St. Louis Browns defeated the New Orleans nine yesterday by 16 to 6 The Browns made 23 hits. The Brooklyns and Washingtons play to- day at Augusta, weather permitting. The Cincinnatis at Mobile yesterday de- feated the Mobiles by 14 to 4. Reports from Macon, Ga., say Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores is highly elated over the showing of his men, and says they are in much better condition than at this time last season. He is particularly pleas- ed with Carey, who plays first base for the second nine, and Pitcher Kissinger, who displays great speed and sends the ball right over the plate. Andrew Freedman, president of the New York Base Ball Club, arrived home from Jacksonville, Fla., late yesterday after- noon. He brought back most glowing re- Ports of the good work done by the Giants in practice. —_—.__. RIOTERS INDICTED FOR MURDER. True Bills Brought Against the New Orleans Murderers. The New Orleans grand jury came into the criminal district court yesterday, and, after the usual formalities, the foreman presented fifteen indictments charging twenty-eight men with murder committed on last Tuesday morning in the levee troubles. True bills, charging murder, were presented against the following parties: George, alias Whisky, Doyle, Henry Had- dy, John Murphy, W. Maheer, J. D. Wil- liams, Thomas Ryan, John Pendergast, William Nelson, Dave Williams, Jamés, alias “Red,” Hawkins, Thomas, alias “Stut- tering,” Fay, Jim Ferriera, Robert Kehoe, Nemin, alias “Meyer,” Lightly, Joe Case: James O’Brien, Martin Owens, 5: Cue, for the murder of John P: y Drowd, Phil Quarle and Tom Pendergast for the murder of Henry James; same of the murder of Morris Mitchell; ‘same for the murder of Fred Lopez; same for the murder of Leonard Mallard. Robert Brooks, Phil Mahoney and Nemin Lightly for the murder of Leonard Mallard; same for the murder of Fred Lopez; same for the mur- der of Morris Mitchell; same for the murder of Henry James. William Gallicie, Dave Burke and John, alias “Red,” Cutlen, for the murder of John Payne. John Furness, allas “Dago,” Tom Devlin, alias ‘Tom the Devil,” and Jack Bowen, for the murder of John Payne. Th-se men were arrested at various times during the troubles and committed for trial by the police justices. All of the indict- ments contain the clause ‘and other persons whose names are as yet unknown to the grand jurors, being workmen and laborers in the occupation of rolling, placing and stowing compressed cotton on board of ves- sels at the port of New Orleans,” Most of the men indicted have been under surveillance for several days and it was an easy matter to locate them as soon as the caplases were issued. Ten or twelve sur- rendered at once on learning of the in- dictments, a few more were in jail waiting a preliminary hearing and the remainder were arrested by the sheriff's deputies, re- inforced by detectives. The difficulties which beset the governor in handling the troubles have been further complicated by a strong intimation frem the merchants that no further funds will be contriluied by them for the support of the troops. They ask that more decided measures should have been adopted in dealing with the rioters and that the trouble should have been finally quited some days ago. The governor is in consultation with his ad visers, striving to find means to provide fc the support of the troops, the state militia fund being altogether inadequate for the Purpose. se Order of United Workmen. The Grand Lodge of the jurisdiction of Maryland, Ancient Order of United Work- men, held two sessions yesterday in Balti- more, Md. and adjourned sine die. The greater part of the time was consumed in discussing the reports. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected and installed: Grand master work- man, Wm. S. Woodson of Richmond; grand foreman, Frank B. Sappington of Freder- ick, Md.; grand overseer, J. E. Brooker of Suffolk, Va.; grand recorder, A. F. Colbert of Baltimore; grand receives, Samuel Ec- cles, jr., of Baltimore; grand guide, Benja- min I. Kellogg of Cape Charles City, Va grand inside watchman, Wm. E. Tarr of Somerset county,Md.; grand outside watch- man, L. E. P. Dennis of Scmerset county, Md.; grand trustee (elected for three years), I. Samuel Lawsan of Crisfield, Md.; grand medical examiner, Dr. G. L. Wilkins of Baltimore. Samuel Eccles, jr., Joseph Grape and Henry Lingenfelder were elected representatives to the Supreme Lodge, which meets in Chicago in June next. ee Confirmed by a Turkish Soldier. The correspondent in Armenia of the London Daily News has sent to that paper a story told by a Turkish soldier who took part in the Sassoun outrages and who has since quitted the army and fled across the Russian border. His story confirms the worst accounts of the outrages. He tells how the Turks sent the Kurds to do the rough work of burning the Armenian vil- lages_and murdering the inhabitants. It was Turks, he adds, who cut off the fugi- tives as they were trying to escape. De- scribing the outrages in the village of Djellyegoosean, the scene of the ‘pit mas- sacre,” the Turk says that the two im- mense trenches were dug, and the soldiers were told off into parties to butcher the in- habitants. For over a week one party or another was marched at nightfall to the trenches, where the soldiers. were ordered to bayonet or butcher batches of unarmed, helpless Armenians. a Thinks He Knows His Business. Capt. Crossman was seen by an Associat- ed Press reporter at New York just before his st2amer, the Allianca, sailed for Colon, and was asked what he had to say regard- ing the statement that President Cleveland had expressed great dissatisfaction with what, it was claimed, were glaring incon- sistencies in the chart and affidavits sub- mitted by Capt. Crossman. “Well,” said the captain, “I don’t care to criticise the President of the United States, but I do think I know my business. I have spent thirty-six years learning it and I be- lHeve I am competent to prepare an accurate chart and description of my ship's course at sea. If the President had requested my appearance in Washington to personally ex- plain the matter I think I could have satis- fied him in five minutes. There is nothing more to be said about the affair.” WASTED TO A SKELETON. Spring Valley, Rockland Co., N ¥. Da. B.V.

OHIO’S. NEXT RULER A Lively Co: 4 for the Republican Nomination. ALLEGED PLOR GAINS? CEN, HARRI Little Going oh in the Democratic men «Ranks, THE PARTY APATHETIC Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 20, 1895. The contest for the republican nomina- tion for governor seems to have narrowed down now to seven persons, with a few minor figures in the background, ready to become full-fledged candidates, if there should be a deadlock in the convention, giving them reason to hope for success. These seven are, in the order of their ap- parent strength, James H. Hoyt of Cleve- land, George K. Nash of Columbus, J. H. Doyle of Toledo,J. Warren Keifer of Spring- field, E. W. Poe of Bowling Green, now auditor of state, Asa 8, Bushnell of Spring- field and Congressman Charles H. Gros- venor of Athens. Two others, not avowed candidates, but mentioned frequently in connection with the nomination, are ex- Congressman Henry L. Morey of Hamilton, a cousin of ex-Gov. James E. Campbell, and Gen, A. L. Harris of Eaton, now lieu- tenant governor of the state. The Plot Agninst Harris. Gen. Harris was quite prominent as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination -last summer, but his candidacy suffered severely in his defeat for Congress last fall in the third district, by Congressman Paul J. Sorg. His nomination for Congress, it was charged at the time, was a trick by rivals for the gubernatorial nomination, in- tended to kill him eff by defeat. It was regarded as almost impossible for the re- publicans to defeat Sorg under any circum- stances, and Harris did not want the nom- iration. The work of the nominating con- vention was hurried through, and Harris, who was a delegate to the convention, was nominated before he could reach the con- vention hall. He could not well decline then, though it is known that he was much chagrined. The third district was the cnly one in the state which the republicans hoped to carry, or rather made claims upon, and failed to carry last fall, and the blame apparently rested upon the candi- date. In-the Northern Section. Hoyt is without a competitor in the northern part of the state, and he will have the solid support of that section, including the western reserve, an intensely republi- can district, which is as distinctly Yankee in its people and ways as Connecticut it- self. It is also in his favor that his part of the state has not furnished a governor for over a quarter of a century. While this is not a very potent argument to put be- fore a convention in which a fierce contest is going on, Mr. Hoyt’s friends are making the most of it in the preliminary contest. George K. Nash has an advantage in his location. He will Have strong support from the central couptig# of the state, and dele- gates from other sections will naturally gravitate towayd bim, when it is appar- ent that their firstichoice is an impossibil- ity, rather than to candidates from remote sections. He haé teen attorney general of the state, and a ember of ihe supreme 1 fi court bench. W not an old man, he has been in state polities for twenty years, and is probably begter)known thaa any other candidate for the pomination. He was an avowed: Sherman man inuthe unfortunate factiqnal trouble that disrupted the repub- licans in the Yte?senatorial contest, but he has already declared for Foraker for Vnited States Senator next year, and thus won for himself the support of the Fora- ker men. ee Fudge J. Hy Ddyle of Taledo is an able man,2ud would prove a §troag candidate for the nominatiom but fer'the fact that the delegates Tromshis section ‘of the state, northwestern Ohio, will be divided between him’and Auditor of State E. W. Poe, whose home is fh the adjoining, county of Wood. l’oe is popular, and has proyed to be what is known in politics as a “good mixer.” Ne is now serving his eighth year in the auditor's office. If both Poe and Doyle remain in the race it is not at ali likely that either will be nominated. It is probable that they will airive at an understanding, and determine that one or the other shall retire from the ccntest. Gen, Keifer’ Candidacy. Ex-Speaker J. Warren Keifer seems to be doing more active work for the nomina- ticn novy than any of his rivals. He seems to be traveling over the state all the time and losing no opportunity to make a speech, Like Doyle and Poe, he also has a rival in his section—nay, even in his own city. It ts Asa S. Bushnell. Keifer was shrewd enough to get a pledge from Bush- nell several months ago, and before the contest seemed to be an Inviting one to him, that he would not stand in his (Keifer's) way to the nomination. Bush- nell’s friends are urging him to declare himself a candidate, and throw aside the piedge, which, secured under very different circumstances from those that now sur- d_the case, can no longer be binding him. Bushnell has been interviewed and over again regarding this pledge, always saying that he proposed to keep kis word, if Mr. Keifer held him to it, but indicating plainly that he should very much like to be released. To these quasi BERCURIAL — - + POISON is the result of the usual treatment of blood disorders. The system is filled with Mercury and Potash remedies—more to be dreaded than the disease—and in a short while is in a far worse condition than before. The common result is RHEUMATISM for which 8.8. is the most reliable cure. A few bottles will afford relief where all else has failed. I suffered from a sovere attack of Mercurial Rheumatism, my arms and legs being swollen to twice their natural size, causing the most excruciating pains.

It is very evident that he pro- Fcees to keep his own field clear af com- petitors, if holding Bushnell to his prom- ise will do it, But the general opinion is that Gen. Keifer’s chances for securing the nomi- ration are not good. The same may be said of Mr. Bushnell’s candidacy, should cbstacles that now stand in his way be re- moved before the conventicn assembles. Gen. Grosvenor in the Race. Gen. Grosvenor is the latest addition to the ccntest for the gubernatorial nomina- tion. Indeed, he has not yet personally announced himself as a candidate for the honor. There is little reason to doubt that he is in the race, however. Ex-State Sen- ator Jere. Carpenter, an admirer of Gen. Grosvenor, a resident in his congresstonal district and a close political friend, made the announcement here just before the ad- journment of Congress that Gen. Grosyenor was a candidate, and proposed to go to work in earnest as soon as relieved of his congressional work. Municipal election campaigns are on in Ohio now, and while state politics will cut little figure in these, it is regarded as bad policy to try to push anything connected with party nominations pending these municipal contests. So far only one name has been mentioned in connection with the nomination for lieu- tenant governor. That is State Senator. Thomas H. McConica of Fulton county. It is probable that some of the defeated candidates for governor will become can- didates, after the party leader is chosen, for the second place. For only one other place on the republi- can state ticket has there been any sharp contest so far. That is for auditor of state. There are only two candidates. They are W. D. Guilbert of Noble county, who is now chief clerk in the state auditor's of- fice, and Maj. C. W. F. Dick of Akron. Maj. Dick has been executive chairman of the republican state campaign committee for three successive years, leading the par- ty to the most remarkable victories in its history. He will probably have Gov. Mc- Kinley’s support. Next to that for the gubernatorial nomination, the contest for the nomination for state auditor will be the most interesting in the convention. The State Convention. The date of the republican state conven- tion has not yet been fixed. It is generally. understocd that it wi!l be held here early in June. The state central committeé will meet and fix the time and place immedlate- ly after the municipal elections, the first week in April. On the democratic side but little seems to be going on in this state. The party seems to be thoroughly apathetic. No talk of candidates for the nomination for gov- ernor or the other places on the state tick- et is heard. The two overwhelming de- feats the party has just suffered in the state seem to have completely discouraged the leaders. Unless Senator Brice can arouse the party to action this summer the chances for the election of a legislature that will return him to the Senate will be exceedingly small. - —— Pacific Railroad Apyents. The appeal of the Northern Pacific Reil- road Company for a decision of the com- missioner of the general land office patent- ing certain lands near Helena, Mont., to Jehn J. Hall, has been dismissed by the Secretary of the Interior. Four other ap- peals of the company, who contested for lands near Helena, Mont., which was pat- ented to homesteaders, have also been dis- missed. There are now quite a number of similar cases which have to be decided, but it is said that all of these will be de- termined upon the basis of a decision made some months ago, in which the settler re- ceived the benefit of the verdict. ‘ountry Post Office Robbed.

My strength was nearly gone from’ chronic kidney ‘and liver trouble, brought on by Catarrh and aggravated Ly obesity. My physician sald that I had fatty de- generation of the heart and kidneys; that I could ouly obtain partial relief and be comfortable, while the disease would ruin my life. After I had taken three bottles each of the Pills and Salts I was on the road to fast recovery. As soon as I lost about 30 pounds of dangerous, unhealthy surplus fat I felt stronger and breathed easier when I walked. I no longer suffered from my old troubles and feel about as well as ever.

DRUGGED AND ROBBED. The Police Theory for the Condition of Dr. Jere B. Elliott. Dr. Jere B. Elliott, formerly of this city, was carried into the West 30th street sta- tion house in New York city in an uncon- Scicus condition at an early hour this morning, according to a press dispatch. The cabman who turned Dr. Elliott over to the police stated that he was put into the carriage by a woman at Broadway and 89th street and asked to be driven to an address on. West 36th street, where it was found later he was not known. The driver then discovered that the passenger was in a stupefied condition and took him to the police station. On being searched his pockets were found to be empty with the exception of a gold watch and a draft for $600. The police think that he was drugged and robbed. Dr. Elliott is a native of New York, where his father is a prominent ship builder. He eame-to Washington about twelve years ago to accept a government clerkship. After graduating from one of the local medical colleges he resigned his position and practiced medicine here for a year. Early in February last he left for New York, saying that he intended to reside there permanently hereafter. He was a popular and well-known member of the Columbia Athletic Club, with quite a repu- tation as a runner and a musician. His friends here declare that he was never given to dissipation. ——.__. VENEZUELAN COMPLICATIONS. ‘The British Ambassador Confers With the Secretary of State. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am- bassador, was at the State Department yes- terday, it is supposed to confer with Sec- retary Gresham in reference to the Vene- zuelan complications. The Secretary after- ward went over to the White House to ad- vise with the President. It is belleved that the ambassador has assured the Secretary of State that the terms of the British ulti- matum ‘delivered to Nicaragua are more moderate than was stated in the dispatches from Managua. The fact that Admiral Meade’s entire fleet has sailed away from the Venezuelan coast is accepted as a clear indication that the authorities do not see any necessity for any naval representation there, under. existing conditions.
