Those who were present, however, were troated to a rare exhubition of bieyele riding, and the prospects are flattering for a good crowd this evening. At the very start lasy night Misses Bald- win and Oaks set out to gain a lap on Will- iams, and before two miles had been traversed they had accomplished their pur- posc, closing in on the local champion amidst the hearty applause of the spectators, Stan- ley, however, was not to be shaken off, and she clung close to the wheels of the two fly- ing sprites tnroughout the whole of this magniticent spurt. She is a fine rider, gritty ined, but it is the common opin- hias'found her equal, if uot her n the.plucky little Baldwin. Shortl¥ after the_completion ot the sev-- uty-sccond mile Miss Oakes was taken violently sick, and was compelled to dis mount and leuve the track. She has been « for some days, and went into the race iion to the advice of her ar-old fillies— second, English This makes the task left for Miss Baldwin doubly severe, for there is no doubt that sho must fight the balance of the chase out aj nley and Williams single-handed and alone. ‘fhe finishing spurt last night was, as usual, a very thrilling and pretty sight. Stanley took a long lead, as on the previous evening, but notwithstanding this fact, was only cuabled to beat Baldwin across the tape by a bare half wheel. Miss Williams was left twenty-five or thirty yards in the rear, and from this on can cut no figure in the final outcome of the chase. The score: Baldwin. Stanley Williams. Oakes . Miles.

THE FATE OF THE REPUBLIC. It Depends Not Upon Her Cannon But Her Colleges—Kditor Grady's Mag- nificent Address Before the Alumni at Richmond. The Schools Are the Safeguards. Rionsosp, Va., June 9%—Henry W. Grady, the southern orator and journalist, delivered an address before the alumni of the university of Virginia to-day. Mr. Grady spoke 1n substance as follows: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemon: Weo are standing in the daybreak of the second contury of this republic. The fixed stars aro fading from the sky and we grope in un- cortuin light. Strange shapes have come with the night. Established ways are lost— now roads perplex, and widening ficlds streteh bevond the sight. The unrest of dawn impels us to and fro—but doubt stalks amid tho confusion, and even on_the beaten paths the shifting crowds are. halted, and from the shadows the sentries cry, “Who comes there!” In the obscurity of the morn- ing tremendous forces are at work. Noth- g is steaafast or approved. The mir- acies of the present belio the simplo truths of the past. The church is besieged from without and be- trayed from within, Behind the courts smoulders the rioter's torch and looms the gibbet of the anarclusts. Government is the contention of partisans and the prey of spoilsmen. Trade is restless in the grxur of monopoly and commerce shackled with lim- itation. "The cities are swollen and the fields are stripped. Splendor streams from the castle, and squalor crouches the home. The universal brotherhood is dis- solving, and tho people are huddling into classes. The hiss of the nihilist disturbs the covert, and the roar of the mob murmurs along the highway. Amid it all beats the great American heart undismaged, and standiog fast by the challenge of his con- science the citizen of the republic, tranquil and resolute, notes the drifting of the spec- tral currents, and calmly awa:ts the full dis- closures of the day. Who shall be the heralds of this coming dayt Who shall thread the way of honor and safety through these besetting prob- lems! Who shall rally the people to the de- fense of their liberties and stir them until they shall ery aloud to be led against the en- emies of the republic! You, my country- men, you! The un ity is the training camp of the future. The scholar the cham- pion of the coming years. Napoleon over- ran Europe with drum-tap and bivouac—the next Navoleon shall form nis battalions at the tap of the school house bell and his cap- tains shall come with cap and gown. Water- loo wus won at Oxford—sSedan at Berlin. So Germany plants her colleges in the shadow of the French torts, and the pro- fessor smiles amid his students as he notes the sentinel stalking against the sky. The farmer has learned that brains mix better with his soil than the waste of scabirds, and the professor walks by his side as he spreacs the showers in the verdure of his tield, and locks the sunshine in the glory of his h: t. A button is pressed by a child’s flage: the work of a million of done. The hand is nothing—the brain every thing. Physical prowvess has had its d: the age of reason h; ome. The lion-hearted Richard challen| Saladin to single bat is absurd, for even Gog and Magog sk wage the Armageddon from their closets and look mnot upon the blood that runsto the bridle bit. Scienee is everything! She butchers a hog n Chicago, draws Boston within three hours of New York, renews the famished soil, routs her viewless bondsmen from the electric center of the carth, and then turns to watch the new Icarus as. mount- ing in his flight to the sun, he darkens the burnished ceiling of the sky with the shadow of his wing. 3 arning is supreme and you are its proph- o Here the olympic games ot the republic —and yon 1ts chosen athletes. It is yours. then to grapole with these problems, to con- front and master these dangers. Yours to decide whether the tremendous forees of this republic shall be kept in balance, or whether unbalanced they shall bring chaos; whether 50,000,000 men are capuble of self- government, or whether liberty shall be lost to them, who would give their lives to main- tain it. Your respousibility is appalling. You stand in the pass behind which the world’s liberties are guarded. This govern- ment carries the hopes of the human race. 1lot out the beacon that lights the portals of this republic and the world is ad-ift again, But save the republic; establish the light of its beacon over the troubled waters, and one by one the nations of the earth shall drop an- chor and be at rest in tho harbor of universal liberty. The germ of the best patriotism is in the love that a man has for the home he inhab- its, for the soil he tills, for the trees that give him shade, and the hills that stand in his pathway. I teach myson to lovesGeorgia —to love the soil that he stands on—the body of my old mother—the mountains that are her springing breasts, the broad acres that hold her substance, the dimpling valleys in which her beauty rests, the forests that sing his songs of lullaby and of praise, and the brooks that run with her rippiing laughter, The love of home—deep rootod and abiding—that blurrs the eyes of the dying soldier with the vision of an old home- stead amid green flelds and clustering trees —that follows the busy man through the eclamering world, persistent though put de, and at last draws his tirea feet from the highway and leads him through sha lanes, and well remembered paths until, amid the scenes of his boyhood, he gathers up the broken threads of his life muruwn the soil his conqueror—this—this lodged 1n the heart of the citizen is the say- ing principle of our government. We note the barracks of our standing army with_its rolling drum and its fluttering flag as points of strength and protection. But the citizen stanaing in the doorway of his home—con- tented on his threshold—his family gathered about his hearthstone—whiie ths evening of a well spent day closes in scenes and sounds that are dearest—ne shall save the ropublic when the drum tap is futile and the barracks are exhausted. Exalt the citizen. As the state is the unit of government he is the unit of the state, Teach him that his home is his castle, and his sovereignty rests beneath his hat. Make him self-respecting, self-reliant and re- sponsible, Let himn lean on the state for nothing that his own arm can do and on the government for nothing that his state can do. Let him cultivate independence to the point of sacrifice and learn that humble things with unbartered liberty are better than splendors bought with its price, Let him stand upright and fearless—a freeman born of freemen--sturdy in his own strength— dowering his family in the sweat of his brow ~-loving to his state—loyal te his republic— earpest in his allegiance wherever 1t rests, but builaing bis altar in the widst of his houschold gods and shrining in his own heart the uttermost temple of its liberty, Honor and emulate the virtues and the faith of your forefathers—wao, learned, were never wise avove a knowledge of God and His gospel—who, great, were never ex- alted above an humble trust in God and His merey ! Let me sum up what I have sought to say in this hurs [ Your republic—on the glory of which depends all that men hold dear--is menaced with great dangers. Against these dangers defend her, as you would defend the most precious con- cerns of your own life. Against the aangers of centralizing all political powers, put the approvea and imperishuble principle of local self government. Between the rich aud the fiu()r. now drifting into separate cawp: uild up the great middle elnss that neith drunk with wealth, nor embittered by pov~ erty shall Lift up the suffering and control the strong. To the jaugling of races and creeds that threaten the courts of msn and the temples of God, oppose the home and the citizen--a homogeueous and honest peo- ple—and the simple faith that sustained your fathers and mothicrs in their stainless lives and led them serene and smiling into the val- ley of the shadow. Lot it be understood in my parting words to you that | am no pessimist as to this re- public. I always bet on sunshine in Amer- ica. 1 know thatmy country has reached the point of perilous greatnes and that strange forces not to be measured or com- probended wre burryiug her to heights thau dazzie and blind all mortal eyes—but I kuow that beyond the uttermost glory is eo- throned the Lord God Almighty, and that when the bour of ber trial bas come He (will 1ift up his evorluatitig gates and bend down in mercy and lovh, 'For with her He has suroly lodged thewR of his covenant with the sons of men. Jimsrson wisely said: “Our whole history looks liko the last effort by di- vine providence in 1f of the human race.” And the republic fwill endure. Central- ism will be chébki and iiberty saved— lutocracy overstvewn and equality restored. 'he struggle for human rights never go backward among English speaking people. Our brothers across :\m sea have fought from despotism & 1ifrty, and in the wisdom of local -olr-fuvflmanm have planted colo- nies around the world.

Lena Marsh and William Ellersick Held on the Oharge of Murder. Lena Marsh and Willism Ellersick were arraigned before Judge Berka yesterday afternoon for trial on the charge of having murdered the illegitimate child of the for- mer, which died at the “Open Door” on June 11 from poison by carbolic acid. When Lena was led into courtshe gave little evidence of having suffered a bereavement or of feeling n any manner the responsibility of the charge resting upon her. She was attired in aneat fitting suit of black and wore a white shawl around her shoulders. Her head was adorned by a black velvet turban, in which was a gaily colored feather. She bore an air of unconcern during the entire proceedings. Eliersick sat near her on the prisoners’ bench, but scarcely glanced at her. Mrs, Ellersick, with a young babe in her arms, was among the spectators, Dr. E. L, Alexander was the first witness. Ellersick called upon the witness and se- cured his attendance upon Lena Marsh when she was confined in childbirth, and continued to treat the patient until she was removed to the “Open Door.” He described the location of tho rooms occupied by the Ellersick family over the saloon at the cor- ner of Charles and Saunders streets. “Did you prescribe any medicine for the child born of Lena Marsh?” asked Mr. Ma- honey. “1 did not.” “Did you prescribe any carbolic acid for Lena Marsht” “Idid, It was to be used by her alone in 1 diluted form.” w15 carbotic acid poison and violent?” *Itis. There is but one more violent, of the common poisons. Its action is chiefly «worrosive.” 3 Witness stated further that the bottle con- taining the carbotic acid was kept in a cup- board in a room sn"nl te from the one occu- pied by Leua Marsh, and could only bo reached by going through two rooms from Lena Marsh's bed. The acid was kept in a two-ounce bottle, No otber medicine was prescribed by the witness and he did not know that any other medicine was kept in the cupboard with the carbolic acid. “When were yoa called to see the child after its birth?” ' “Ellersick came on'the 10th of June and told me the child {vas very sick and some- thing wrong with'it. Iwent to Ellersick’s place about 4 o’clock. I found the child with a badly burned mouth and throat and with a burn on the rignt side of the face extending {from the mouth to the ear. The burn was such as would have been caused by carbolic acid, and there was a strong odor of the acid. The child was 1n & stupor with very feeble actien of the heart. The child was Eflrlocl.ly healthy when I left the house in the morn- ing.” EDia you ask how the accident happened?” “I'did. Iasked how it bad happened and if they had given it carbolic acid. Mrs, Ellersick said that Lena had not given the child the acid, but that the acid had been kept in another room all of the time,” “Did Lena Marsh say anything at that time about how the baby became so burned "’ **She did not.”" “‘Where did you see the child last?" “At the ‘Open Door’ on the lith of June, a short time before it died.” “Who prepared the carbolic acid for Lena Marsh’s usel” “Mrs. Ellersick.” «Where wes the bottle of acid when you called after the child had been poisoned ¥ “In the cupboard where I first saw it.” “Was Lena Marsh strong enongh to walk to the room where it was kept?” “I don’t think s0. 1 should say not.” Charles B. Gurney, a druggist at 1234 Saunders street, tilled a prescription made by Dr. Alexander. The prescription called for diluted acid, but as he did not know for what purpose it was to be used, he put up two ounces of pure carbolic acid, and told the purchaser that it was pure, and not diluted. He labelled the bottle, ‘“‘carbolic acid,” but did not put a *poison” label on the bottle. He could not identify Ellersick as the man who purchased the acid. Coroner Drexel testified to his official acts in connection with the death of Lena Marsh’s child. He told of his conversation with El- lersick concerning the poisoning of the child. Ellorsick reported to him the fluding of a spoon under the woman's bed, but as it had been replaced with the others it could not be identified. Mrs. Ellersick, wife of William Ellersick, and sister of Lena Marsh, was called. She was in tae house, she said, all day on June 10, the day the child was poisoned, except & few minutes in the forenoor and a short time in the afternoon, and was not absent more than ten m inutes either time. Lena sat up for an hour on that day. The botue of carbolic acid was kept in a cupboard and along side of a bottle of paregoric. “‘Have you these bottles now!'” asked the county atiorney. I havo the paregoric. T threw the car- bolic acid into the slop bucket two or three days after Lena’s child was born.” “*Did you use the acid wash for Leua that day, June 104 1 Qid not. She used it herself that day. 1 got vhe acid for her.” “Did Lena call you when the child was first poisoned, and when and how it wast" | “It was 3 o'clock or balf past when she told me that sompthing was wrong with the baby. She said *The baby is vomiting,’ A milky substancewas running out of the child’s mouth. I “took the child and wiped its face, which wad very red, looked like it was burned. I calls Ellersick and sent him for the dector.”’: *‘Was the bottle room?” i “It never was.” & “Did you ask your peneat” aum (L *[ asked her if glie pbisoned the baby and sho sald, ‘Ob o, #a! 'The bottle was in the same place where it always was kept when 1 fourd it after the:baby was poisonea,” “Was your sistépini he kilchen at any time " 3 “She was in the kitchen for dinner on Sunday, but was uot i) there at auy other time.” 261 Mr. Ellersick’s ayes almost started from their sockets at tha. {irst question of the cross-examination, whioh was: ‘illzlll,l' you see your husband poison the i --c’mk. no. He didut doit,” said Mrs. El- ersick. “Did {ou see Lena poison 11" “No, I did not.” “Did you poson it1" Mrs. Ellersick laughed coutemptuously and replied that she did not, and no farther facts were secured from her. Miss Minuie Montana, & nurse at the “Open Door,” testified that she had over- heard Ellersick say to Lena Marsh : “Keep your mouth shut, aud if they ask YOU any (uestions say that you waunted to Wash yourself and that you spilled carbolic #cid on the baby's face." A severe and Uresome cross examination :uuad to alter Miss Montaua's evidence in the east. Judge Berka held both Eilersick and Lena S0 acia ever left in Lena's ister how it hap- Marsh to answer to the djstrict coart and they were remanded to Jail, e ALMOST A MURDER. Clarissa Burke Probably Fatally Wonnded By William Neebo, There was a shooting affray on the river bottoms Iast night which 1s likely to result in the death of a poor, down-fallen woman, As the shades of evening wero scttling down upon the poverty and squalor along the shores of the river, and the whistling of the wind gave notioe of the approaching storm, & shot was heard, followed by the scroams of torrified women, while a man was scon to run rapidly towards the railroad bridgennd make for Council Bluffs. The neighbors at once assembled at tho scene, aud willing hands soon placed the vi tim in bed in the low, miserable looking cabin sho called home. One of the neighbors ran 1o the nearest policeman and gave tie alarm, and the city physician was soon on the ssene, A reportor wended his way through tho mud and rain to the cabin, which is tno so- ond one south of tha railroad bridge and about one hundred feet fromn tho river, Tho first person seen was a small old woman who was evidently laboring under gront excitoment. _In response o an inquiry, sho said: My name is Mrs. Catherine M Jhys the woman who was shot is Clarissa Burke, and the man who shot het is Witham Neebo, We were all sitting at the table cat- ing uup}vor when I asked her what had be- cowe of her earrings, which Necbe's father had made. Frank. Neebe She said’ she had given one to don't know who Frank is, but said, ‘Yes, you gave them to Fraok, your lover, and got up from the table,” Clara got up aiso and went out into the yard to bring in some clothes. He followed her out, and I heard tnem quarrel- ing. I went out and she was lying on the round as though he had knocked her down, o started to kick her in the head, but I told him to stop, and then he shoved me down. Before 1 could get up he ran around me and pulled a pistol and shot her just as she was getting up, and that's all 1 know about it.” Passing into the only other room in the cabin, the victim was scon lying on the bed evidently in great agony.
