Another Ken- A Great Rac LovtsvivLe, Ky., May 14 tucky derby has been run, another favorite beaten and another great thoroughbred crowned with laurel wreaths of victory and excellence. Masbeth 11, the great dark son of Macduft, dam Agnes; belonging to the well known Chichgo stable of Geo. Han kins. is the equine hero in Kentucky to- night. The weather was cold, threatening and disagreable, but this did not operate against the presence of an immense throng. The ladies were out in full force. Tho track was about a second or two slow. First race, five furlongs—Owing to a m take this race had to be run over after it was won by Liberty, Madstone second and Santa Cruz third. The start was made fram the half-mile pole instead of five-eighths. At the second trial Madstone won, Santa Cruz econd and Liberty third. Time—1:03%. Second race, Ono and one-sixteenth miles —Terra Cotta won, Barrister second, Jaco- Dbin third. Time—1:50. Third race, Kentucky Derby, $2,500 added, of which $500 went to second and_$200 to tarters, Alexandria, 118; Autocrat, 3 Colonel Zeb Ward, 118; Gallifit, 118; Macbeth, 115; The Chovalior, 118; White, 118, Auction: Melbourn stables 850, The Chovalier 27, Macbeth, $11, White 85, field $11. Books: Melbourn stable #4 to 5. The Chevalier 83 to #1, Autocrat §12 to 81, White $6 to §1, Macbeth '§0 to 81, Zeb Ward $10 to 81, Gallifit and Alexandria were first to show on the track. The Chevalicr, a magnificont looking black colt, received an ovation as she loped past the stand, White received some recognition, but Macbeth comparatively little, Afterone false start Caldwell got them ©off up in a chute in great style and the fun began. The Chevalier led away with Autocrat and Galifit close up, White third, and others not far off. Into the stretch they swerved, Colonel Zeb Ward holding in front for what was to be only short lived glory, Alexandria second, White third, Chevalier fourth, Gallifit_fifth, Autocrat sixth and Macbeth last. Covington, on the winner of the Gayoso hotel stakes at Memphis and other leading southern events, was playing hi move admirably, awaiting the game, which e kept up and which, if McCarty on Gallifit had better adhered to, might have led a more intercsting finish. Passing the grand stand Alexandria moved to the fore to the music of thousands of throats there, his_stable_companion second, Chevalier third, White, Macbeth, Ward and Autocrat back' in a bunch, Rounding the turn into the back stretch Gallifiv's jockey seemed to become impatient and let the chestnut have his head, running first by a length almost the entire way to the next tirn, Chevalier second and Macbeth third. Wari had dropped back and Alexandria and Autocrat had also appeared to weary of the Yapid pace set by the fleet son of iTalsetto. As they approached the turn, Covington® was seen _ to give Macbeth more head, and the colt answored like the staying one he proved himself to be. By the time the lead of the long run home was reached he had collared Gallifit and was running easy. McCarty began to use the lash on the favorite, but at theo eighth pole it was evident to all that it was 1o use. Machoth was running easy with Lis head up and without the least bit of urg- ing. Gallifit was working hard, and as (acbeth psssed under the wire a length in front of him he looked severcly punished and ready to quit. White was bird, two lengths behind Alexandria, a bad fourth, Chevalier fifth, Autocrat sixth and Ward seventh and last. The time was 2:874 and compared favorably with that made in former Derbys. Macbeth won in a gallop and secmed ready to go another quarter., 1t was stated after the race that the Chi- cago stable had certainly won $70,000 on Macbeth, if not more. They closed winter books on him in New Orleans, this city and probably other places.

A Switchman and Engineer Arrested Under Misapprehensions. The position of the ‘‘scab” railroad em- ployes still continues to be uncomfortable both through the strikers and the blunders of the thick-headed policemen. As a “scab” switchman named Huff was passing down Tenth street with his wife last evening, some B. & M. ex-switchmen who stood in front o a saloon, threw out some insulting and ob- scene epithets, He took his wife over to the depot and returned to the scene to settle the matter with the fellows who had insulted his wifo by using such language. The strikers did not care to tackle him, as they heard he carried a revolver and would use it in an emergency. They therefore complained to a policeman that he was carrying coucealed weapons and caused his arrest. On being taken to the central station he was searched and no deadly weapon of description whatever was found on_his son. s thereforo released, Ha th upon swore out warrants for the arrest of three of the men who insulted him, and later one of them, named H.J. Haverly, was ar- rested. Still later in_the evening as H. S. Hudson, a “scab” engineer, passed into Heplinger's saloon, he was followed by about two dozen strikers. They made things pretty bot for him inside and he left. Outside he was as- saulted, his nose smashed and was knocked down, Officers Ward and Adams cemeup and at seeing him covered with blood demanded an explanion. He was still somewhat,duzed with the blows he had received and could not even tell who had assaulted him, They, therefore, tumbled him into the patrol wagon and had him locked up at the central police station to answer the charge of being drunk and disorderly. The Roman Wall of Toudar. Pull Mall Gazette:} Yesterday a lurg‘e assembly of anti- quaries and archweologists took place at a spot in Aldersgate, a little to the north from the new buildings of the general postoftice, for the purpose of in- speeting a portion of the old wallsof the city, close to what was in all probability their northwestern angle. This portion was first discovered and laid Dare in the early part of last autumn, when the Bull and Mouth hotel and the French Prots ant chiurch w removed in ovder to make room for the intended additional building The length of the wall now exposed to view is “about 100 feet, and the greater part of it stands about ten feet above the soil. This is largely medimyal; but the portion helow the surface soil measures about fifteen or sixteen feet, and this 1s composed of stones and bricks, laid in alternate styata, after the Roman fashs ion so well known at Colchester and Lincoln. and also in other parts of the walls of London for instance in Bevis Marlks and the Minories.

LEVEES CONTINUE TO BURST. 11t Acres Upon ' Apres Buried Under Rushing Watgrs—The High Water Mark of {881 Passcd—Begin- ning to Fall. e The Raging Waters. Dunuque, Ia, May 14.—The water to-day has begun to recede slowly and so far has fallen one inch from the highest mark of Saturday. The worst now seems to be over. It is believed the river will continue to stead- ily fall until it reaches its normal stand. OTTUMWA, Ta, May 14.—The water rose six inches last night and at noon to-day was at a standstill. There was frost last night here, but no serious damage resulted. Krokvk, Ia., May 13.—The river rosc five inches here to-day, and the water continues to spread over the low lands. 1In the flooded districts and at Alexandria, Mo., the situa- tion remains about as it has been, no addi- tional loss of property being reported. As all the railroad tracks in the city are sub- merged and little or no shipping is being done. Bxtra precautions are being taken to prevent loss or damage in the lumber district. BuriiNaroy, fa., May 14.—The river here lacks but a couple of inches of the high water of 1881, the biggest flood since 1851, and may possibly come quite to it although it ean not pass it. The rise is coming very slow and will probably slacken during to- night until it reaches astand. There has been no serious damage at this point bayond the drowning of several small herds of cattle in the adjacent bottom lands of Illi- nois and lowa. Packets continue to make their trips but no raft boats are running as the swift current makes it impossible for them to haudle their tows with any degree of safety, especially in passing bridges. The bottoms are flooded and cellars on Main street have from six to eihteen inches of water which comes through the sewers. The Burlington Lumber compar mill has been closed by water and portions of its yards are flooded. The rolling mill has also been compelled to close down. The only road troubled is the ‘‘Long Line on this side of the river ncar Keokuk. The damage so far reported is small. At 8:80 p, m. to-day the bridge gage ro- )7.10, a raise of six inches in the last The river was then fifteen fect, seven and one-fourth inches above low water mark and still rising. At sunset it lacked only one inch of the hizh water of 1881 and_ will pass it during the night, The water has now backed up the sewers so as to enter the basements of sev- eral wholesale houses near the levee ne sitating the removal of the goods. No serious damage has been done in the city and none is anticipated, as advices from above indicate that the water will not rise much highet? The river opposite Bur- lington 18 from sevén 'to nine miles wide. DaveNPORT, Ta., My 14.—The flood reached its height this forenoon and isaboutata stand. The water'is higher than ever known before, being abové the high water mark of 1880. A decline is expected to-night. The dam at Reck Island has just given away and 200 or 300 families are in danger. MUSCATIN Ia. May 14.—The river at noon was at the high' water mark of 181, which was the Mighest ever known. Itis believed the river will commence jto fall to- day. No damage ® teported her QuINGY, Ill., Miy 14.—The Indian Grave levee broke five milesnorth of Quincy early this mornmmg, 'fhoding hundreds of magnificent farms anfl ruining thousands of acres of winter wheat. Up to this eveaing. there are four crevasses in the embankment, and the entire levéb district will be covered with water, The fiu levee gave away be- tween Hannmbal and Lousianaat noon to-day, and thirty-four miles 6f the most productive farms in_the Mississipni valley will b flooded. No lives have been lost, as the ple living m the lowlands have been watching fora break for the past three days. The river at this point rose seven inches yester- day, but bas fallen one inch to-day, the de- cline being caused by the breaks in the levees and the spreading out of the water. At Quincy many of the large factories along the river have been sbut down but the damage thus far has been slight. The railroads in the vicinity are exporiencing great trouble from the flood, and on some of them trains have been abandoned. ROCK IsLAND, T, M: has risen five inc noon and now stands 18.50 feet, which is the highest stage ever known here, being one- tenth above the stage in 1880, 15.40 feet. The Peoria & Rock Island embankment, which protects the lower portion of the fown, is not broken yet., The high water has com- pelled the saw mills and plow factor suspend and lack of coal has shut the glass works down, It is believed the worst is over. A Royal Babe's Mishap, Inatalk with a New York Herald rn'pn‘)rtul'u(uwduys ago Dr. G. F. Shrady sald: The present difficulty of the Crown Prince William dates from" his birth, when a fracture of the left arm occured which resulted in that member being about two inches shorter than the other and hag given rise to the stories of his being afflicted with scrofula. Prior to the birth of her child Empress Victoria, the then crown princess, was seriously ill, and her mother. Queen Victori dispatched from London two obstett- i to attend to her. Thes physicians found themselves unable to cope with the difficulty that presented itself, and then arrived the neccessi for a consultation. A messenger 5 dispatched for Prof. Martin, the elder, since dend, who at the time was high in the circles of the court and president of one of the universities. Piqued at the introduction of the Englishman in the case, tothe exclusion of those of the fatherland, the eminent scientist re- turned this answer: “If I was not able to attend to the erown princess in the first place I am not able to do it now.” Informed of this brusque reply of Professor Martin, Emperor William, at that time king of Prussia, issued an im- perial edict ordering the obdurate physician to attend the crown princecss, Such a summons Lad|to be obeyed, Pro- fessor Martin went t the palace. Ho was conducted in#o §he presence of the crown princess, where were the two English obstetriciars. Saluting the crown prince, whi was in the ap ment, the Germapsilently gave his at- tention to the royalmother, overcame the difficulty that¥had puzzled the London doctors, gfllrw(l the new born infant in the ari of a nurse, howed stiflly to the two |n‘§] ional gentlemen from Fngland angd retived from the apartment withoubiuttering a word, Have whe the speétcle of a proud, scientific man whdwould not unbend for royalty, He! performed his duty, in a tacitur unner it is true, but't wasall. Poofessor Martin was dismissed from court, ‘When the little prince was three or four days old it was discovered that his left arm was fracturved a short distance from the should Who broke it? Did the aceident oceur through the oy of Prof. Martin, or the | in the care of its English attendants? That question has never been answered, probably mnever will be, The doctor who broke the arm felt the snap of the infantile bone.

The tiger's lair was in a piece of woods to west of the village, and very likely rocky ravine in the center of the st. We soon found that he used one ath in approaching the village, and as e had eaten nothing but human flesh for several months he might be expected to come and go by this path as long as anyone was left in the village. Midway between his den and the village we built a stout log pen just to one side of the path, and when 1t completed the door was held up by a cord running iuside to a spindle on which the bait was to be attached. We had ever) thing ready by midafternoon, and then camo the question of bait. Nothing but human flesh would do, but that did not worry the natives a bit. [ think the head man would have ordered a sacrifice but for a piece of good luck. An old woman died about noon, and we obtained permission to make such use of the body as we desired. It scomed a horrible thing to do, but if we were to rid the district of the beast we must en- tice him into the trap. The body was carvied there, seated in an upright posi- tion behind the spindle and lashed to it, and then a dog was tied upin acorner of the pen. A second dog was killed and his blood scattered over the leaves and earth about the pen, and just before dark we returned to the village. After supper orders were issued for every person to remain indoors for the night, and to k'mk‘ as quiet as possible, and by the time it was fully dark the village was as quiet as a graveynrd, It was about 10 o’clock when we heard from the man-eater. There was a yell from the dog and a howl from the tigerin one breath, and we felt sure we had trapped him. It would not do to move out, however, and such was the suppressed excitement that noone in the village slept an hour. Soon after daylight a couple of natives went on a scout, and in the course of half an hour they came running back with the news that the man-eater was safein the pen. He had killed the dog and torn the dead body in pieces, and was reported in a furious rage. After breakfast the cage was carried up and weo had little difficulty in transferring the beast. When we came good look at him everybody was amaz He was the longest, heaviest and tallest tiger any one of us had ever seen, and this was also the verdict of all others who got a peep at him. He was inh prime, with teeth and claws at their best, and amore ferocious disposition no beast ever had. He fatally clawed two natives on the way down the river, and killed a sailor while on the voyage to Amsterdam. He was sold to an English showman at a big price, but re- sold to the Ryal museum of Russia on account of his savage disposition and untamable nature. When a portion of the buildings burned about five years ago, ‘‘Satan,” as this man-eater had been appropriately named, perished in the flames. ————— A PERILOUS ADVENTURE. Eleven Boys Shut in a Cave by the Tide —A Thrilling Experience. More than thrilling the adven- wure of eleven boys as told by the New- castle (IEng.) Chronicle recently. At the south side of the town of Seaham there is a rock projecting from the mainland known as Nose Point, on top of which is built the Vane and Seabham blast furnaces. Underneath is a large cavern, known as the ‘‘Smugglers’ cave,” which, at high tide is filled by the sen. Among the boys referred to the exploration of this cave and the un- carthing of treasure of some buccaneer of the past had long been an object to be accomplisned, and a determination was at last come to to carry out_the pro- jeet., They started off, provided with candles, lanterns, torches, a pick and shovel. Entering the cavern at low water, they commenced work and soon were so intent upon it that they mnever heeded the turn of the tide, and it was only when the found escape from the cave by the w they had entered impossible that the iealized th position. The water drove them further and further back into the cave,until at length they found it impossible to recede any more. To avoid the rise of the water several of the boys climbed as high up the walls of the cave as possible. Other: no alternative but to stand pr up agaiust the end of the cayern and allow the water gradually to er ) in upon them i and higher rose the water and deeper the lads d, until some of them were covered up to the shoulders, They all managed, however, to stand erect, notwithstanding their weakened con- dition, produced by shouting for help, and numbness arising from being com- pelled to stand in the water. Now an again a broken wave would 5 among them, rendering their still more perilous, Morcover, the cave was nearly dark, all the lads’ lights having been put out except one, which had escaped the wash of the waves and contin to give forth its feeble illum- ination. One of the boys at last, from sheer want of strength, was washed from his holding, but soon another lad standing near groped in the dark, and, with nothing but the cries of his com- rade to guide him, succeeded in re- storing him to his feet. In the meantime the lads had been missed from their homes, and their continued absence caused inquiry to be made. This resulted in their whereabouts be- coming known. A rumor then got abroad that all the hoys had been drowned, and soon fathers, mothe brothers, sisters, and a large body of other men, women and children rushed off in eager haste to the top of the cliff, face of the oliff with ropes. Nothing could, therafore, be done by the hun- dreds of people who had collected but to wait until the fall of the tide would ad- mit of access to the cave from the shore. Meanwhile the imprisoned boys passed a terrible time, but just as they thought the worst had como the water stopped rising. Slowly the water left the cave, and in a short time they felt tnemselves in comparative safet, although in darkness. Tt was, however, 10:30 o'clock at night before they were rescued. - BURIALS 7ALIVE- A Gentleman Gets Out of His Coffin and Dances at a Ball, Burials alive are far more common in hot countries, where the burial takes place within twenty-four hours after death, than they arve hare, says the Lon- don Referee, where one gets as a rule a weeks grace. In Spain the body is fro- q;:t‘l\“)‘ removed to the undertaker’s shop a few hours after death. In one of the largest of these establishmoents in Madrid somy years ago, an _extraordin- ary sight was witnessed. A gontleman was brought in his ““casket” one after- noon and placed in the room set apart fur that branch of the business. The proprictor lived over his premices and on this special evening was given a grand ball. When the ball was at its heighth, a gentleman in full evening dress suddenly joined the company. He danced with the wifoof theundertaker, and he danced with the undertaker’s daughter, and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. The undertaker thought he knew his face, but didn’t like to be rude and ask him his name, but by and by all the guests departed, and the strange gentloman was the only one_left. *‘Shall [ send for a cab for you?" said the host at last. *No, thank u,” replied the gentlema “I'm staying in the house.” “‘Staying in the house!” exclaimed the under- taker; ‘‘who are you, sir?”’ “What! don’t you know me? I’'mthe corpse that was brought in this afternoon.” The undertaker, horrified, rushed to the mortuary room and found the coftin empty. His wife and daughter had been dancing with a corpse. An explanation, of course, followed. The gentleman, who had only been ina trance, had i rocovered, and hearving vevelry above, and having a keen sense of humor, had got out of his coftin (the Spanish coffin closes with a lid whioh is only locked just previous to interment) and joined the estive party. Hewas quite presentable, as in_ Spu the dead are generally buried in full evening dress. e b The Money King of South America. Don Mariano is one of the richest mer of Central America, says the New York Times. His money has been hoarded for years, loaned on good se- curity at 3 per _cent per month, 86 per cent a year. He has “‘cornered” corn, the principal food of the poor, and in onch operation heaven seems to have aided by failure of crops. Several times in his life he has been **hit” very hard. A certain president of his country was in need of $300,000 and applied to Don Mariano. Don Mariano knew very well he would never see a dollar of it again, and pleaded extreme poverty. The dent made the application a second Don Mariano again re: d the but he was summoned to the ace, sent to the penitentiary, and, with one side of his head and face shaved, was made to work in the strel as a member of the chain gang, much to the joy of hismany debtors. He hore up bravely under this trentuent for nearly two months, when he turned over to the president the sum required. This little experi- ence prove: at value on a subse- quent oecasion. On the death of another president each one of his cabinet ministers was anxious to succced—but any successor had to have the army on his side. The vice president went 10 Don Mariano for £150,000. Tt was delivered in ten min- ates, the army was paid, the vice pres dent succeeded and the former cabinet was banished. Don Mariano is deseribed as a man not more than y years of age, but he appears to be past his hundredth year.

Hon. W. B. Berry, of Newman, s the Atlanta Constitution, is vich in reminiscences of the times when whigs and democrats were *‘striving mightily” for the ascendancy.

Nearly All the News Favors the Bulls— Corn Joins the Procession Fols lowed by Oats—Provisions Brisk—Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUOE MARKET, Cricaco, May 14.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bre,]~In the wheat pit it was another day with the news all favoring the bulls. There was unquestionably an cnormous real- izing by holders, big and little, some fighting by big foreign shorts and heavy selling by at least one local plunger, but all to no account. Wheat scored another advance in spite of the fickle bulls, and in spite of the bears, made more courageous by the extraordinary and almost unbroken advance, The mood at the opening Was to sell, the bulls being inolivod to concede that the advance might pause and the bears being very certain that the buying forge had spent itself. There was selling by LinQbloom, Kammorer, Singor, and especially very heavy selling by Bloom, but there was buying that overweighted it all and advanced prices, July, which closed Saturday at 88%c, opened at 89, hesitated some and dropped to 88%c, then rose, and before 1 o'clock sold at 89c, and actually touched 90, a trader named Cant- ner certainly paying that figure for one lot, and perhaps others doing the same. Cables came higher, although the foreign tone was still described as dull. A board of trade cable said that farmers' deliveries aggregated for the week in the whole United Kingdom, 2,256,000 bushels, the largest so far. Our crop clearances for the day were only 75,000 bushels, and for the week, including flour, only 1,543,106 bushels ngainst 2,568,470 bushels for the same week oy . But these were about the only immediate bear ins fluences. The visible supply figurcs showed a decroase of 2,040,000 bushels, twice as much as conservative estimates. There still ~ freczing weather in Da- kota and morthern Minnesota, and through the Red River valley. The primary market receipts were small, only 177,000 bushels, These were the chief bull influences in a news way. In pit_there was hoavy buying by Cudahy and Hutchinson, al- though this trader was on both sides and then the volume of outside buying showed the same mterest that it has each day since last Thursday. 1t was this latter trade that furnished body and vigor to the big local buying. A cable from Puris said that French prospects were for only o moderato crop and that everywhere m Europe ex- cept Russia, the prospects were the same, Corn_was strong for all ¢ options chiefly because of the bull energy in wheat, and the visible supply statement, which showed a decrease of 2,440,000 bushels, finally caused a little independent strength. The ‘recoipts were moderate, 218 cars, of which 113 graded No. 2, but the estimates for Tuesday, 408 cars, are liberal. There was not so much pressure on May, It opened at 60%c and closed at 1 o'clock ut 50%c. Sell- ing by Counselman of this option broke it as low as 59ige. July was strong with wheat, opening at’ b8lge, selling betwoen 57%c and 551, ¢,and closing at 1 o'clock at 53%c. No. 8 showed unusual strength, soliing up to within 2¢ of the July option, The local stock now_only 3,134,147 bushels, but the entire visiblo is only 6,960,025 bushels. Oats, like corn, got somo strength from wheat. Its small local stock, 1,202,000 bush- cls, also made May ! lts visible in- crease, 36,000 bushels, was not a_significant ficure. May opened at 3ic, sold between 3i%jc and 85%c and closed at 1_o'clock at e, July opened at 3ic, sold between 337;c and $1}5¢ and closed at 1 o'clock at night, They decided that the road should be a whig road, and that it should not be defiled by running through the lunds of any democrat, So they surveyed a route, making a bend here and a turn there; and when the wark was done it was found that from Palmetto to Newman—a distance of fourteen miles—they had run through the land of but one democrat, and as he happened to be o mild sort of partisan and rather hard to surround ‘‘they didn’t count that,” as Rip Van Winkle would say. And so the road runs to this day. A temporary organization of a section oi the endowment rank, K. of P., was effected at Winchester, W.

That being the stopping place for grain bound cast, it was expected that part of the anticipated decrease on the lnkes would b offset by a big_increase at this city. As soon as tho Buffalo figures were known sixteen estimates, which had been as low as 1,000,000 bushels decrease were revised and made larger. It was argued that a good sharo of the grain expected to-show up at Buffalo had passed there, was on route by ral and likely to show up at the scabourd next Monday. That, however, is simply a theory. The provision trade was bullish in its movements.
