EXIBIMION HAS BEEN A SUCCESS The Prize Productions of Mont- gomery County, —>—_——_. WHO WERE FORTUNATE Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 4.—After the storm of yesterday the. crisp air of a September morning brought thousands to the grcunds of the Agricultural Society to- Gay. Everybody came, snd in their coming brought their whole families, including the children. Men who had not been here for years took the occasion to be in attendance upon this, the day that was not affected by dust cr any other drawback. It 1s not often that the fourth day. invites much of @ crowd, but today was certainly an ex- ception. From early morning until 10 o'clock carriages laden with humanity were passing through the gates, and by 12 there was the usual crowd seen upon the most favorite day of the fair. After the drenching the grounds looked beautiful. The fair, as an exhibition of the advancement made by the farmers of Mont- gomery, has proved an unqualiffed: succéss.

The dust was deep, the roads about the ercunds were ground up by the constant walking of the crowds and at times the air was stifling. But still everybody ap- peared to be in the best of humor. About 2 o'clock threatening clouds appeared in the scuthwest. For some time amid gusts of wind the people stood their ground and the dismal echces of the thunder were arswered by the shrill cry of the book- maker as he announced three to one against the favorite. At last the rain came and there was a skurrying to shelter from the storm. While baby carriages rolled in wild disorder thousands rushed hither and thither to save the summer hat. In a few moments shelter was found in the hundreds of carriages, the buildings on the grounds and even newspaper corner in the secretary's office was invaded. Thursday is generally considered the day” of the fair, and this year it certainly held its own. The gate receipts were un- usually large and by this barometer suc- cess is measured by the managers. The races yesterday afternoon were close- ly contested, and the amount of money which changed hands was said to be con- siderable. ‘The races were as follows: 2.20 class, trotting.

Mr. Cleveland, Secretary Smith and the Silver Question. Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. SAVANNAH, Ga., September 1, 1896. And those who knew him best knew him but least can be truthfully said of Ben. Tillman, the pitchforker from South Caro- lina. With steady step and stealth he in- vaded Georgia, saw Tom Watson, his old friend, had a chat with him and left on the first train. Now, all kinds of sensational reports are going the. sounds, most of which are absolutely untrue:: Positively no offer of a place in Bryan's 'eabiiiet was made to Watson if he would, withdraw. Tillman and Watson talked of the political situa- tion in Georgia, and each was engaged in fence building. Tillnian f§ anxious to get a high place In the tounéils of the party, and preferred to secure in advance of elec- tion the promise of Watson and his friends. Watson has friends, not’‘only in Georgia, but in other states—Sduth Carolina, for in- stance—in whom he has a,deep interest. He desires to see them elevated. If elected Vice President, he can aid Tilman, who, in return, will see that'things are fuily cared for in South Carolina. This is the most, in fact, the only, really important transaction, if such it can be called, that took place between these: two. gentlemen. The fact that Mr, Watson has resigned the editorship of the People's Paper {s, or ought to be, sufficient evidence that he is not going to “come down.” Political friends of Watson in this city have his denial of the story in his own handwriting. All eyes are now directed toward Hoke Smith. He is @ power in Georgia politics; his record is clean and his democracy pure and true. There are many reasons’ ad- vanced for his leaving the cabinet. The idea that he left it because his relations with the President had become estranged owing to his prompt and unqualified in- dorsement of the nominee of .the Chicago convention is almogt unpardonably ab- surd. Here is'the story: It has never been told before, but fs true: Months ago, when it was apparent that the currency question would probably be the paramount one at the national convention, a decision was reached—reached at a gathering of the offi- cial family, it is sald—to get an expression of the leaders. At first this task, a most difficult and, indeed, unpleasant ‘one, did not progress rapidly. Secretary Smith thought that he could remedy matters. He talked to Mr. Carlisle, the decision reached being that they should Poll the south. They apparently did so, rather er- Tatically, though, for, did they not report the south as being on fire for gold, when three months later it was defeated at about 16 to 1? The President had become welded to gold, and when the landslide came for liver he Keenly felt the disappointment. he past pleasant relations between Smith and Carlisle and the President rapidly les- ES the resignation. ¢ latest and the all-abserbing to, Politics just now is the statement, aaeel uhdenied by his friends to whom your cor- respondent nas spoken, that Patrick Walsh is after a cabinet positisn. With Bryan he wants to be the Hoke Smith of the south. There 1s every good Treason to believe that Pat is after a situ- ation. He has not had one in a long time. Until this year he has not been “in it” in Georgia politics in years, his appointment by Gov. Northen to succeed Senator Col- quitt being merely a compliment. Walsh has been on the wrong sidgfor a long time. Now that he has gotteinto the band Wagon, he is, doubtless, doing everything in his power to remain there. Evan How. ell of the Constitution is also in the band wagon, it will be remembered, please. He and Walsh have not always been political bedfellows, though, and as Evan has done more through his paper to put down Cleve- landism and boom silver at 16 to 1 than Mr. Walsh, there is the probability of a clash after election. Nothing will occur before that time, however, to cause one ripple of excitement or dissension. Tom Cobb, the eloquent young lawyer who has deciared for Bryan and Watson, 1s making an earn- est, aggressive campaign for Congress in the Atlanta district against Lon. Livings- ton. Tom, too, is after something choice, and many of his friends in the demo>ratic party fear that he will be elected. The reports sent oft from here and At- lanta that the demoerats ‘would refuse to place a man in the field\dn the tenth con- gressional district against. W. H. Fleming, nominated to succeed Maj. J. C. C. Black. the old opponent Watson, were base fabrications. No suéh idea was ever en- tertained by the rank and.file of the popu- lists. Nor is there to be:found today one man who will admit:having made any such statements. It would have been disruption to the populist party to.have not opposed Mr. Fleming, who ds a candidate in the district in which there was much unfair- ness. Failure or refusal_to place an an- tagonist in the fleld wi lg have practically been an admission fe the untruthfulness of the charges of fraud dgainst the demo- crats. Jchn T. West,:the law. partner of Watson, will make the race against Mlem- ing. Mr. West is, Watson excepted, the strongest man in hi§ district, and has al- ready challenged Fléming’to joint debates. George H. Miller, who is the populist nomi- nee against Col. Rufus E. Lester, is mak- ing an earnest campaign. The friends of Col. Lester will begin work for him soon. Out of the nine counties in the first dis- trict it now seems as if Miller will posi- tively carry four. ——__ The Orphans to Be Entertained. The orphans of St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum were to have had a treat this af- ternoon in the shape of a matinee at the Bijou Theater, the invitation te them to at- tend having been extended by the manage- ment of that house. In view of the fact, however, that this is the first Friday in the month the sisters in charge of the asylum were forced to decline the kindly invitation. . The children will not lose their expected enjoyment, however, as the in- vitation will hold ‘good tomorrow after- noon, all the inmates of that institu- tion will attend. KATE FIELD'S WILL Found at Last in the Shoreham Safe. SHE WANTS HER BODY CREMATED Her Estate Goes to Mrs. Brice’s Secretary, Mr. Beatty. PROBABLE CONTEST The mystery of Miss Kate Field’s will was solved yesterday. Since ner pathetic death in Honoluiu, far from home and life- long friends, there has been a sincere de- sire on the part of her nearest friend, Miss Lilian Whiting of Boston, and her cousin, Mr. George Kiddle of Cambridge, Mass., well krewn as the Oedipus of the Greek Flay given by Harvard students some years ago, to discover any expressed wish on her Part as to the disposal of her effects. Mr. Riddie first heard of a will from Mr. Jefferson Chandler, formeriy of this city, who wrote to him from Seattle that such @ paper was at one time in existence, for he, himself, and Mrs. Chandler had been witrcsses to a will at Miss Field's request. Miss Field’s safe in the Corcoran building was left in charge of Miss Ada Cowsill, in the office of the New York Evening Post, and this was searched carefully, but with- out result. Mr. Devine of the ‘Shoreham, where Miss Field had lived while here in Washingtcn, was applied to and he very kindly gave access to Miss Field's boxes, trunks and papers stored at the hotel, but this search was fruitless. Application was made direct to the con- sul general at Honolulu by Mr. Riddle, but as the consul could not act without author- ity from the department or the court, he was powerless to make any search for a testamentary paper. The department very kindly lent its serv- ices and had at the request of Mr. John Sidney Webb of this city, counsel for Mr. Riddle, directed the consul general to send on the effects of Miss Field to the depari- ment here. The Tin Box. In the meantime Miss Ella 8. Leonard, formerly business manager of Kate Field’s Washington and now with Mr. H. H. Kohl- Saat of the Chicago Times-Herald, inform- ed Mr. Riddle that Miss Field had a tin box in which she kept her papers of value, and that she felt certain that in the box would be found the missing will. Mr. Rid- dle came to Washington yesterday to take out letters as collector of the estate, hav- ing obtained an order of court to that ef- fect, and also to search for this tin box described by Miss Leonard. One cf the clerks at the Shoreham, over- hearing a conversation between Mr. Riddle and his counsel, Mr. Webb, in front of the desk at the hotel yesterday, just as the storm was sweeping over the city, ex- claimed, ‘‘Why, that box is here in the safe.” And he turned to the big hotel safe and produced the missing receptacle, which all this time had been in the saf Ithough its presence there was not known to the other clerks in charge of the desk or to Mr, Devine, the propietor. Mr. J. Nota McGill, the register of wills, kindly consented to be present and take charge of the search, since Mr. Riddle’s letters of collection could not be executed at once, owing to the temporary absence from the city of one of his bondsmen. Found at Last. And so, in the midst of the storm, in the Presence of Mr. Riddle, Mr. Devine and Mr. Webb, Mr. McGill had the box opened by a locksmith and the papers exposed. On the top lay a sealed envelope. Mr. McGill picked it up, but hesitated to break the seal, and thought it best to search the unsealed package first in hope that the will could be found without breaking a seal. The entire contents were gone through, one by cne, but no will was found. Then Mr. McGill started to go through them again, working backward, but a suggestion was made to open the sealed envelope, and there was the paper. On the Chicago train at 5 o’clock Miss Leoa- ard came to assist in the search. Contents of the Wil The will was filed today. It was dated July 17, 1895, and witnessed by Katherine and Jefferson Chandler and Francis E. Leupp. Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago and Mr. T. Sanford Beatty of New York are named as executors, and the follow- ing bequests are made: To the exceutors the sum of $500, to be invested and de- voted to the care of the testatrix’s lot in Mount Auburn cemetery, Cambridge, Mass.; to the state of New York, to form the nucleus of the proposed Adirondack Park, two shares in John Brown's farm at North Sa, Miss Field expressing the hope that gther stockholders will. fcllow her example; to T. Sanford Beatty, all property not otherwise disposed of, includ- ing lot 6, square 194, this city; 127 shares of Instantaneous Fire Alarm stock, ard a loan of $6,500 to Wm. H. Reynolds, for the payment of which are held 100 shares in the Idaho Mining and Irrigation Company; to S. V. White of Brooklyn, the Walter Savage Landor album, as payment of a loan of $500; to the Art Museum cf St. Louis, portraits of Miss Field (by Frank D. Millet), and of her mother and father; to the Newberry Library of Chicago, copies of the St. Louis Reveille; to John E. Searles of New York, a drawing of Gains- borough, in payment of $1,000 invested in Kate Field's Washington just before she was forced by ill health to suspend its publication; to H. H. Kohlsaat, a valued friend, certain pictures left with him; to Mary Sedley Smith, all clothing; to George Riddle, all books left with Miss Jane Smith, 66 Mount Vernon street, Bos- ton; to Lilian Whitney, a crayon head, left with Mrs. Wm. P. Kellogg, and to T. San- ford Beatty all furniture, trunks, pictures and boxes at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, at the Shoreham and Corcoran build- ing, this city, and at Newport, R. I. Her Literary Executor. Miss Field appoints Mr. Beatty as her literary executor, and to him all the resi- due of the estate is left, he being requested to substantially remember her cousin, Kate Wilcox, of New Orleans. He is also re- quested to divide the jewelry between Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Sedley Smith, Lilian Whitney, Mr. Riddle, Mrs. Chandler and himself, and te give Miss Jane Smith some useful souvenir. Her Body to Be Cremated. As to the disposition of her body, Miss Field directs that it be cremated, and that her ashes, together with the plain gold ring worn by her, be placed in an urn, and the urn be deposited above the coffins of her father and mother, half way between. It is expected that the will will be con- tested. It is not known why Miss Field decided to make Mr. Beatty the beneficiary of her will. They were warm friends, and Mr. Beatty wes actively instrumental in or- ganizing several lecturing events out of which Mixs Field reaped pecuniary advan- tage. Mr. Beatty is supposed to be in Eu- rope, and does not yet know that he is the object of Miss Field’s good will. Is is suspected from the bequests made on &ccount of money loaned and invest- ments made in the paper known as Kate Field’s Washington that opposition to the will, if there is any, will come from those who have similar claims, —— The Southern’s Action. The Southern Railway Company this afternoon filed a supplementary freight schedule, comprising points in various states, but mostly from Baltimore and Washington to South Carolina, junctional points. The cut was the same as before, and amounts to about 35 per cent. It is rumored that Commissioner Haines of the Southern States Freight Associatioa is at work preparing a new freight sched- ule, in which the rates will be cut three- fourths. or perhaps more, from the rate prevailing at the outbreak of the war, as he has been authorized by the association to do, and that the notice of the intention of the company to make the new rates will be filed with the interstate commission as soon as the necessary sheets can be printed.

His Valet Brings Action to Recover Salary Claimed to Be Due. As a sequel to the recent difficulty and alleged altercation between Prince Augus- tin De Yturbide and his valet, Thomas J. Carney, the latter today filed a suit against the prince, claiming that the sum of $445 is due him. The plaintiff, through Attorney R. New- ton Donaldson, statesthat Prince Yturbide engaged him as a valet July 9, 1892, agree- ing to pay him $42 a month. The ex-valet says he worked as such until the Ist of jJast January, the prince paying him from time to time small sums on account. That day, he says, he rendered a statement at the prince’s request, showing a balance due him of $312. That statement, the plain- uff swears, the prince accepted and agreed to pay, but did not, according to Mr. Car- ney. Yet. the plaintiff continued in his em- ployment until the 28th of last month, but only received, he declares, from the prince on account $03, leaving a total balance due him, he charges, of the amount claimed, $445. CONRAD PLOCK’S DEATH. The Coroner’s Inquest Being Held This Afternvon. John Sites, the colored man wanted for the alleged murder of Conrad Plock, at Heurich’s brewery, by striking him on the head with a brick, several weeks ago, as published in yesterday's Star, is still at large. Detectives Helan and Boyd have been detailed on the case, and they are now looking for him, Sites, it is said, has served time in the penitentiary. An autopsy was made yesterday by Deputy Coroner Glaze- brook, and the inquest was begun at} o'clock this: afternoon. Piock is the man about whom there was trouble in getting an ambulance some days ago. The officers of the third precinct telephoned to head- quarters to have him sent to the hospital. The message was sent late at night, but Sergt. Kaucher did not give the order for the ambulance to make the trip until morn- ing. A number of witnesses have been summoned to give evidence at the inquest, and the police feel certain that the jury will hold John Sites for the killing. ——— Opinions of Cabinet Members. Secretary Carlisle expressed himself briefly-as to the nominees in the follow- ing words: “They are splendid nomina- tions and fully meet the expectations of the sound money men of the country.” Further than this the Secretary declined to express himself at this time. Secretary Francis, the newly appointed head of the Interior Department, declared that the nominations were excellent ones, that both candidates were good men and would make a good fight. He did not think, however, that the ticket would be successful. In answer to a direct question as to whether he would support the ticket, he replied very promptly and emphatically in the af- firmative. Secretary Lamont declined to be interviewed, but incidentally remarked as to the personality of the nominees that “they are good democrats.” FINANCIAL. E.
