Archie Brown, the Governor’s Son, and Mrs. Fulton Gordon Shot by the Latter's Husband. Archie Brown, son and private secretary’ of Keatucky’s chief executive, and Mrs. Fulton Gordon were shot and killed yester- day shortly after noon in a disreputable re- sort im Louisville by the woman's husband. Last night the coroner’s jury rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide. Police Officers Reilly and Lapaille were standing at 10th and Walnut at 12:35, when they were told that there had been a mur- der at Lucie Smith’s house. The policemen rushed down Walnut street, and saw a man running for a buggy, tied to a post at the corner of West street. “The man was bloody,” said Officer Reilly, “and I immediately jumped at the conclu- sion that he was the murderer. I ran and grabbed him just as he was in the act of jumping into the buggy. He had already untied the horses when I arrived. “Gordon, for such he turned out to be, said to me then: ‘I shot both of them. I caught them in the act. They are both dead. I am shot, too. Come with me and I'll show you where they are.’ “Gordon was as pale as a ghost, and was evidently very weak. Lapaille, myself and Gordon walked to Lucie Smith’s house. Just as we got inside the front door Gor- don staggered, and was about to fall, when I caught him. He was in a fainting condi- tien, and somebody dashed some water in his face. I also summoned the ambulance, on ms soon as that arrived we sent Gordon to jail.” Lapaille said he had known Mrs. Gordon by reputation for some time. She had been going by the name of Reese. Gov. Brown, accompanied by Secretary of State Headley, arrived in the city from Frankfort in the evening. The governor was completely prostrated by the affair. When seen by a representative of the As- sociated Press he said that he did not care to discuss the matter. Young Brown’s body will be taken to Henderson today for burial. The remains of Mrs. Gordon are at an undertaking establishment on 7th street, and Brown's body is at an undertaking es- tablishment on Jefferson street. Mrs. Gordon was Miss Nellie Bush of Louisville, and her family is one of the best-known and most prominent in the state. Her mother was once state librarian, and her grandfather was Judge Zachariah ‘Wheat, chief justice of the court of appeals of Kentucky, and one of the most learned and distinguished of Kentucky's jurists. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Brief Mention of Happenings on the Other Side of Rock Creek. Yesterday a Metropolitan car horse fell in a hole that had been excavated between the rails at the corner of 3lst and Dum- barton streets. The hole was of such depth as to nearly obscure the animal and of just such width as to make it a tight fit for him. A big crowd collected, and it took considerable exertion to get the horse to the surface. The fall and dragging forth so filled him with blood and bruises that he was incapacitated for further work that day. The companion car horse had also been thrown about through the fall, considerably to his impairment, and it be- ceme necessary for men to take the car beck to the stables. This some company employes did in a roller coaster manner, giving it a shove at the head of the in- cline at 3lst street and letting it rush down the hill to 28th street, where, at the turn, it jumped the track, struck a buggy and later the curb, damaging it considerably. Miss Blanche Quackenbush gave a birth- day party on Monday evening at her home, 33d and N streets. Games and dancing were enjoyed. Among those present were Miss Blanche Dale, Miss Cora Dietz, Miss Nora Norton, Miss H. Worch, Miss C. Woerch, Miss L. Hutchins, Miss J. Morse, Miss L: Talaferro, Miss J. Burger, Miss Sadie Sullivan, Miss Alice Craven, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Magruder, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McShea, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Myers, Mr. and Mrs. John Quackenbush, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Quackenbush, Mr. Jack Barnes, Mr. A. Hess, Mr. Croson, Mr. J. Merdiant, Mr. Parson, Mr. Charles Dietz, Mr. D. O'Con- nor, Mr. Rudolph Worch, Mr. August Quackenbush and Mr. Frank Ash. Rev. Dr. Seaton has returned for another year’s pastorate of Ebenezer, on O street, but it was necessary for the congregation to make a hard fight at conference in order to secure his return. The schooner Nellie, Capt. Thomas, came in yesterday from Norfolk with 137,000 feet of lumber for J. E. Libbey. The Ray- mond Fuller, with 30,000 feet of Virginia lumber, has also come in, with cargo con- signed to Libbey. There is a depression in the roadway at the corner of 32d and O that in rainy weather becomes a large sloppy basin. In spite of the stormy weather, a good- sized audience was present last night at ‘the lecture in Tenleytown of Mr. Bray on the “Life of Christ.” Clear and large stere- opticon views were thrown upon the can- yas to illustrate the principal scenes in the Savior’s life from the birth to the ascen- sion. The lecture was highly appreciated. This is the second lecture Mr. Bray has given at Baptist Church. ——_$__—__ IN MEMORY OF KEY. An Appeal for Monument Fund of Frederick, Md. Gov. Frank Brown of Maryland has mailed the following official communication to each of the other governors of the United States: Permit me to call the attention of the schools, pairiotic societies and citizens of your state to Flag day, June 14, the one hundred and eighteenth anniversary of our flag’s adoption by Congress. The national hymn, “Star Spangled Banner,” is always sung at Flag day exercises, which are now being generally held by the schools, but few yield its author the reverence his memory deserves. No one has ever written anything that has done more to awaken true patriotism, and yet the ashes of Francis Scott Key have lain for many years unhonored by his countrymen beneath the soil of his native country in the cemetery of Fred- erick city, Md. I take this method of commending to you the work and object of the Key Monument Association of Frederick city, Md., which was organized and incorporated last year, for the purpose of collecting funds to erect a suitable monument to his memory and thus redeem the nation from the disgrace of over half a century of ungrateful neg- lect. They have already raised about $2,000 from their own towns, but every American who is proud of our beautiful flag and its position among nations should have a share in erecting thts monument. Please urge the. children to give their pennies and the citizens their larger coins on Flag day or before. The names of all donors will be placed in the crypt of the monument and will also be published in a pamphlet when the work is completed. Funds should be forwarded to the Key Monument Association at Frederick city, Md. ——_+e+_____ Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as fotlows: Caro E. Kershaw to Jas. P.

LATE SPORT&NG NEWS 103 LIKE THE BYNCH CASE. Von der Ahe Insisteson Umpire Retts’ Removal Fréin:St. Louis. Chris Von der Ahe ,hag written to Prest- dent Young of the National League re- questing him to remo¥# Umpire Betts from St. Louis after the prestnt series, and has also asked that Betta not permitted to umpire any game played by the St. Louts club in other cities. “Impartial spectators of games umpired by! Betts declare that Von der Ahe’s request'ig uncalled for, and that Betts is above thé-average umpire in ability. 5} President Young says: “Mr. Betts will lcave immediately for Cleveland to umpire the games there. His change of assign- ment is not made on account of Mr. Von der Ahe'’s protest, but is governed by other circumstances. I’ have perfect confidence in Mr. Betts’ ability as an umpire, and un- less some accident should happen to him he will umpire the season through.” Base Ball Notes. Coogan, the college catcher signed by Washington, weighs 144 pounds. The Washington-Brooklyn game was Fostponed for the third time yesterday in this city on account of rain, and the latter club left for home in the afternoon. “I leave the Louisville club in Chicago on May 6, and have no idea as yet what I will do. Am simply taking chances,” writes Fred. Pfeffer to a friend at Princeton Col- lege. Two thousand excited people were at the railway station in Pittsburg last night when the Pittsburg club returned from its western tour. Pitcher Hedson, recently released by Bos- ton, has reported to Manager Irwin of Philadelphia and will be given a trial. Cleveland also has laid claim to him, and the national board may yet have to settle which club he belongs to. The Bostons and the Washingtons leave for Boston tonight. Pitchers Jake Boyd and Henry Krumm and the utility man, Herman Collins, will be left at home. After two games at Boston the Washing- tons will go direct to Chicago for three games, and then visit the other western cities in turn, returning on May 28 to meet the Pittsburgs at National Park. The opening games of the Pennsylvania State League will be played this afternoon. Regarding the case of Pitcher “Dad” Clarke, the New York club officials say that they won’t release him under any cir- cumstances. The Civic Federation threatens to stop Sunday games at Chicago after the first one, which will be allowed next Sunday. Capt. Anson brought his team home yes- terday after an absence of eight weeks. The old warrior is as defiant as ever. The championship season will be opened to- morrow with Louisville. A grand stand to take the place of the one burned last sum- mer is being completed. McGraw was fined $25 in the last Brook- lyn game by Umpire Murray, though he didn’t know it until yesterday. Murray had called a strike on McGraw for hitting a ball foul purposely. McGraw- threw his bat in tho air and his hat after it and re- marked, “Wh-+ don’t you umpire ball?’ and it has cost him $25, Naturally there is dissatisfaction at St. Louis over the standing: of the team. Only three games have been won. That is too few to do much crowing over, and it is now reported that Dowd and Connor have been served with the custo ten days’ no- tice. Tcm Brown will come on from Lou- isville to take Dowdis place, and Linley Twineham or Cooley will cover first base. Von der Ahe is trying ‘to make a deal with Philadelphia to’ trade Clarkson for Turner. Turner, if; seoyred, would, of course, play in the outfield regularly. The Browns left last night fof Cleveland. They will open there today. Yesterday made thé ninth game this sea- son between Washington and Brooklyn prevented by rain—three at Savannah and three at Charleston before the season opened. BANQUETS. vicrory. Comment of English Sporting Writers on Sims’? Riding. The London Standard says regarding Banquet’s victory yesterday: The American horse Banquet was the third visitor to carry silk here. The'methods adopted with the horse before the race excited no small amount of comment. After he had been given a long drink of water he was sent sharply at three-quarters speed to the Cambridgeshire stand and back. He, was then clothed in zebra-like red and blue striped clothing, and a few minutes later was saddled for the race. A peculiarity of this operation was that the saddle did not carry girts, only a couple of surcingles. The horse was backed for pounds, shil- lings and pence; in fact, for every farthing that could be got on him in any part of thé ring, but in the running as much as 100 to 5 was offered against him in certain quar- ters. Sims, as usual, riding hard the whole way, made it look as though the horse were beaten. He stayed on well, however, and on rising out of the dip he had gal- loped the others to a standstill and won easily. There was keen competition for him af- terward. When the hammer fell 760 guin- eas had been offered. The statement that he had been bought in by his owner was greeted with cheering. The horse was then led to his corner and washed down with a preparation out of a hock bottle, for all the world like a human being being sham- pood. Sporting Life says: Banquet won with any amount in hand by three lengths. There is no reason why he should not win a grand national if his owner chooses to put him at steeple chasing later. The Telegraph says: Banquet, despite his innumerable races, looked as clean on his legs as the day he was born. Although Banquet had heen satisfactorily clocked, Sims did not repeat the forcing tactics that were seen in the race for the Crawford plate. Greatly as Sims differs in style from our own jockeys, only the prejudiced could shut their eyes to a fine combination in a jockey—alertness and judgment. CAPITAL CITY GUN CLUB. Prizes to Be Offered and Interest Agaip Aroused. After a quiet year, due partly to the scarcity Of money, the management of the Capital City Gun Club have determined to revive the interest of the members of this the oldest organized gun club in the coun- try, and again the sharp crack of the nitro powders will be heard on the club grounds every Tuesday and Saturday afternoon. The captain and executive committee are new at work upon a scheme of handicdp- ping and classifying the club, and several valuable prizes will be given during the ccming season for the best averages in edch class. The captain says he hopes by hard work and the co-operation of the members to again have a’team in the field equal to the never begten ‘teams of '91 and and from the scores made by those who ved the rain of jlast Saturday he has good grounds for his hopes. The officers of thé‘club-ifor the coming year are: President, Blair’ Lee; vice presi- dent, J. D. Arnold? treasfirer, James M. Green; secretary, ‘Arthur} 8. Mattingly.

The winners were: Dama, 8 to 1; Lotion, 6 to 1; Blizzard, even money; Con Lucy, 7 to 10; Benjamin, 7 to 2, and Finnwater, 3 to 1. Purses Were Increased. As a result of the demand of the horse- men at the St. Asaph track for an increase in the amount of the purses, the club has agreed to make the purses $300, an increase of $50. The horsemen showed that they were determined to enter no more horses when the entries for today’s events failed to fill. A consultation between them and the management was then held, which re- sulted in a compromise, the horsemen hav- ing asked for $400 purses. The manage- ment also agreed, it is said, to abolish the fee for scratching. The Jockey Club. The Jockey Club held a meetin,’ at New York yesterday. The documents called for by resoluticn passed at the meeting held April 15 relative to the closing of the for- eign -book at the. Virginia Jockey Club course, at St. Asaph, Va., were presented, accepted and ordered filed. The action taken by the stewards at a meeting held April 3, disqualifying the horse Bathamp- ton, was reconsidered and the horse war reinstated for all races closing subsequent to this date.

Y., May 1.—As the time draws near for selecting the oarsmen who are to represent Cornell at the Henley re- gatta, popular interest increases over the competition. The two varsities and substi- tutes last evening, together with President Schurman and other members of the fac- ulty, were present at an entertainment, at which handsome banners and colors for the decoration of the shell in the Henley regat- ta were formally placed in the hands of the commodore, W. H. Hastings. The Trinngular College Race. George Q. Horwitz, chairman of the row- ing committee of the University of Penn- sylvania, says there is no truth in the re- port that the Hudson river, oppdsite Poughkeepsie, had been selected for the triangular boat race between Cornell, Co- lumbia_ and Pennsylvania. On the con- trary, he says the University of Pennsyl- vania boys favor the Delaware river course. Yale-Harvard Whixst Match.
