The “Exposition Universelle de Tart Culinair awarded the highest honors to ANGOSTURA Bi TERS as the most efficacious stimulant to ex- cite the appetite. Ask for the genuine article, manufactured by Dr. J. G. B. Siegert & Sons. Grant's Sense of Fairness From the St. Louls Republic. “I know of no instance that demonstrated the genuine manhood of General Grant as well as a little occurrence I witnessed at the St. Louis fair grounds during the great soldier's second term as President,” said J. N. Vanmeter of Kentucky at the Plant- ers’. ‘The general was not only a great lover of horses, but was also one of the best judges of horseflesh in the country. He had entered two of his finest geldings in the competition for prizes at the fair, and had quit the cares of his office long enough to come out here and attend the show. I had a number of horses in the same ring, as did many of the big breeders from all parts of the country. I was sitting by General Grant when all the entries were lined up for inspection, and he asked me what animal I thought would get the first prize. I named one belonging to an illinois breeder, and the President unhesi- tatingly indorsed my judgment. He con- fessed that his own horses were out- classed and stood no show whatever for any of the prizes. I made the same con- fession as to my entries. Everybody around us agreed that we were right, and that the [illinois man’s horse would be awarded the blue ribbon. by the judges without dispute. “Imagine the astonishment of us all, then, when the judges tied the blue ribbon on one of .General Grant's horses. The general had the inevitable black cigar be- tween his teeth, and was chewing away at it.. When he saw what the judges had done he seized the cigar in his right hand, hurled it away from him as if it had burned his tongue, and, with his face blaz- ing with indignation, he blurted: “That's a blanked outrage, and the di- rectors of the Fair Association ought not to submit to it. My horse is not entitled to any award, and the foolish men who have declared to the contrary are unfit to sit in judgment invany'sort of competition. ‘Their action is an‘insult to me.’ “The President fumed around in this way quite a while, and then in dtsgust left the fair grounds. When his criticism reached the ears of the directors there was an ef- fort to undo the clumsy and embarrassing piece of work, but, of course, this would have brought We eth reproach on the association.” “ pte SRN ear Grasshopper, in, South Dakota.

Arthur Haziock and William Harris were arrested last evening by Policemen Trussel end Hess on suspicion of having robbed George Taylor, a colored resident of Ten- leytown. The robbery is alleged to have occurred Sunday evening. Taylor came in- to Georgetown with $6.45 in his pocket, and wandered into the precincts of “Frog Is- land,” a section of “Boston,” where he was relieved of all his wealth and then cast adrift. He reported the matter to the po- lice and gave a description of his’ assail- ants. Aqueduct Bridge Improvements. The work of rebuilding pier No. 4 of the Aqueduct bridge, which is under contract with the Houston Construction Comp: of Philadelphia, is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The stone which wiil be used in the new pier is now being quar- ried at Gilbert's quarry, on the Canal road, just east.of the Chain bridge, where a large force of men has been engaged in cutting the rocks into proper size. The finest and largest stone ever cut and quar- ried in this section of the city, coming from that quarry. The material already prepared is now lying near the roadside, awaiding transportation down the canal on barges. The size of the stone at- tracis the attention of ail who pass the quarry.

Pcliceman Heard of the third precinct, who happened to be on the car, took the woman to O’Donnell’s drug store, corner of 32d and M streets, where the fracture was reduced, and later the unfortunate woman was removed to her home. No Crowd Threatened Him. An unknown white man in a buggy had a very unpleasant experience last evening on the Conduit rcad. He was driving along the road near the Hotel de Cycle club house, a colored resort on the Conduit just out- side the District line, about 6 o’clock. ‘he colored cyclists were having a road race, and one of the riders collided with the buggy, wrecking the whee! and injuring the rider to some extent. The other negroes became angry at the outcome of the race, and claimed the buggy was responsible for the accident. They gathered around it and threatened to lynch the occupant. Finally several strapping negroes grabbed hold ot the bridle and started to lead the horse into Georgetown. What became of the owner is not known. The mounted police heard of the affair and started after the buggy, but it could rot be overtaken. Personal and Other Matters. The funeral uf Mrs. Mary I. Lauder, who died Sunday, in tne forty-fifth year of her age, was held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the chapel in Oak Hill cemetery.

Republican Party of Pri: George's County, Md., Riven Asunder. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., August 2, 1S¥ The republican county convention met here today upon the call of the state cen- tral committee, and a merry crowd filled the town from eariy morning until late at night. The order issued by the state cen- tral committee for this county was ob- jected to at the primaries Saturday. ‘The committee selected from each district a chairman, whcse duty it was to conduct the primaries, select three judges and two clerks, and it was decided that all vetes be taken by ballot. there were separate delegates sent from each district, and at 10 o'clock this morning the contest of factions began to show 1t- self. It was Lowndes, Coffin and Mill against Mudd, Belt and Rycn. “ The first named delegates adjourned to the town hall, and the meeting was called to order by ex-Representative Chas. Coffin, with Heber Fletcher named as retary. Mr. Coffin made a short address, in which he stated that “We do not propose to succumb to the dirty work of wai besses and county blackguards, but have come here representing the masses and not a few leaders. We do not propose to let a man from another county come into our midst and proclaim himself king, and say who shall be our county officers. We can- not stand the imposition and outrageou actions of the delegates from this county on the state central committee. We must down them, and let the people have their | rights.” He then proceeded to characterize the primaries. insinuating that there had been stuffed ballot boxes, and that frauds were perpetrated, and said: “Let us protest against such frauds and unite in one solid phalanx to defeat our enemies. We represent the true republican party. We stand for honest voting and honest elections. I believe we will get our just dues, and we shall name our own men and elect them, too. There is one thing certain, and I voice the feelings of all present, as well as the masses, that we will not submit to the dictations of any one man, znd especially the Charles countian, Sidney E. Mudd. We want no such man to lead our forces.” A committee on credentials was selected, ccnsisting of J. F. Keefauver, Jno. Lan- cester, Ignatius Diggs, Major Tierney, W. M. Washington, F. C. Duvall, Albert Dent, Clay D. Perkins, Jno. B. C. Banks, James A. Bowles and G. B. Timaunus. The committee retired, and reported, through the chairman, Major Tierney, that temporary officers be made permanent, and presenting a series of resolutions, to the effect that “the republicans of Prince George’s county, in convention assembled, most solemnly protest against the high- handed and treasonable conduct of the state ceritral committee for Prince George's ccunty in depriving us of our just rights, a fair primary, Saturday, July 31, 1597, in refusing us one judge and one clerk there- in, thereby forfeiting all claims to recog- nition. We repudiate said committee, and, representing the republican party of Prince George's county, send a delegation to the state central ccmmittee, to the judicial con- vention, nominate a-ticket for the suffrage of the people, and name a central com- mittee, in whcse hands the rights of our people will be recognized and protected. “We desire to express our approval of Governor Lowndes’ efforts to conduct state affairs on business principles and fill posi- tions with honest and capable men.” ‘The resolutions were unanimously adopt- ‘While the committee was out, ——= were made by F.
