PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., September 2. —The steamer Farallon arrived last night from Dyea and Skaguay. The officers of the steamer tell interesting stories of the condition of affairs at both landings. They say that at Dyea the gold seekers are slow- ly but surely crossing the divide and the rcad for ten miles up the canyon is strewn with tents, provisions, discarded baggage and dead horses. Less than 1,000 people are on the Deach at Dyea, as all make ef- forts to get across the divide as soon as landed. At Skaguay things present a different ap- vearance. There are between 5,000 and 6.000 people there. Less than fifty men ave succeeded in getting across White pass, and hundreds have given up trying to cross unti! spring. Steamer officers say rain had fallen continualiy there for eight days and that it is utterly impossible to cross. All kinds of business is flourishing. Men are selling outfits for little or noth ing. ‘A ‘saloon keeper at Dyea is buying flour, emptying it in a hopper in a tent and each. The Farallon’s officers deny that a man was killed at Skaguay for stealing, but say that in case of theft death would be the result. — AROUSED HIS WRATH. A Lawyer Starts in to Chastise a Wit- ness. Considerable excitement took place in the United States branch of the Police Court—Judge Kimball, presiding—today during the trial of the case of Robert Kirg, who was charged with assaulting Allen W. Brinkley. Both parties are col- ored. Lawyer Jones, who was acting as coun- sel for King, was engaged in cross-examining the complaining witness, when sucdenly the latter exclaimed that the lawyer was asserting “falsel:oods.” “If you say that again,” said Mr. Junes to the witness, “I will pull you off the stand.” “Well, I repeat it,” said the witness. Mr. Jones left his place by the site of the prosecuting attorney, and, passing be- ind the rail which separates the attaches of the court from the public, started to- ward the witness. Before, however, he had reached the witness stand Mr. Jones was gentiy taken hold of by Bailiff Darr, who suggested to the former that such proceedings were not proper in court. Judge Kimball also said that the turbu- lent actions must cease, and cautioned the witness that if he again intimated that the lawyer was untruthful he would dea! w:th him for contempt. Presently the excitement subsided, but later Mr. Jones apologized to Judge Kim- ball for his having allowed bimself to lose control of his actions. Judge Kimball ac- cepted the apology, and the inciden: at this point regarded as ended. ry —_——\_>. Throogh Trains to Atlantic City.

RESULTS OF RACING EVENTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 2.—This was the big day of the agricultural fair, and notwithstanding the threatening condi- tien of the weather arrivals commenced as early as 6 o'clock. From that hour un- til noon all the roads leading to Rockville were crowded with vehicles of every de- scription, from the spacious family car- riage to the ancient, though much respect- ed, carryall, each loaded to its full capacity with the husbands and wives, sons and daughters of the large population of the county. The young man and his best girl were also there. They generally come in a buggy. They come for a good time and they have it. The early trains on the railroad also brought their full quota of people, and the later ones added their hundreds to the throng. Frederick contributed its hun- dreds, Baltimore also, while Washington transferred a large delegation of its promi- nent people to the scene. Among promi- nent gentlemen of Frederick in attendance were Messrs. James Douglass, D. C. Wine- brenner, Chas. N. Hargett, Chas. Hiteshew, Wesley Kinslay, B. M. Mantz, H. C. Keefer ard Daniel Orderman. Other visitors were Maj. L. C. Goodloe, U. S. M. C., Washing- ton; Dr. Richard Hill, Marlboro’, Md.; H. C. Sellman and Geo. W. Holmes, Leesburg, Va.; Andrew Rentch and J. P. Hager, Ha- gerstown, Md.; Capt. Thomas Lay, Wash- ington; Ashley M. Gould, Takoma Park. ‘The exhibits of agricultural machinery and farm implements from the District were the finest ever seen on the grounds, and the enterprising gentlemen making the same were warmly coigratulated by the farmers in attendance. The Gaithersburg Manufacturing Company also made a fine display, running its machinery by the aid of a traction engine. During yesterday evening and today si eral pickpockets attempted to ply their trade, but were soon discovered and ejected trom the grounds. Mr. John Green of the ccunty was relieved of a valuable watch. By close pursuit of a colored stranger, he succeeded in having him arrested and lodged in jail. The watch has not yet been recovered.

BALTIMORE, Ma., September 2.—Theo- dore Marburg, the “organization” candi- date for mayor of Baltimore, has with- drawn from the contest for the nomina- tion, and Col. J. Frank Supplee, who was 1is gole opponent in the “organization” primaries, has followed his example. This leaves the field clear for William T. Malster, unless another candidate ap- pears before the new primaries, which are to be heid on September 9. The withdraw- al of Mr. Marburg Is the direct result of the defeat administered to the “organiza- tion” forces under the leadership of United States Senator Wellington by the friends of Mr. Malster at the Ocean City conven- tion last week. There now seems to be but little doubt that the friends of Mr. Malster will organ- ize and control the new state central com- mittee, and that Senator Wellington will retire from the leadership of the party in the state, in which event the senatorial aspirations of Gov. Lloyd Lowndes will re- ceive a severe setback. Second Day. The interest in the fair increases as the exhibition progresses. Notwithstanding the heat, the grand stand was filled and every available point around the track was crowded with the thousands anxious to see the races. During a portion of the day the exhibition hall was closed to all but the judges who were engaged in making the awards; but as soon as this work was com- pleted the crowds again rushed in to admire the fine display. ‘The exhibits of fruit and vegetables in the lower hall were the largest and de- cidedly the best ever seen in this county. Some of the specimen apples, peaches and pears were truly wonderful in regard to size and beauty. In no branch of industry has this county more rapidly advanced within the past few years than in the cul- tivation of fine fruits of all kinds. During the afternoon the side shows,fakirs and dealers in jewelry did a thriving busi- ness, and the market price of silver was heavily discounted in the price of pure gold in the shape of rings, pins, brooches, &c. A newly returned Klondiker would have been amazed at the cheapness of the metai for which he had risked so much, Candidates Were on Hand. During the day quite a number of the candidates of the three political parties of the county visited the grounds and were the center of attraction to their respective friends and supporters, and many were the private ‘“‘confabs” held in out-of-the-way places. Of course, the ubiquitous gentle- ™man who claims much influenee with the voters got in his work. Among the visitors to the grounds were Senator Kyle of South Dakota, eccompanied by Maj. W. W.
