El Rio Rey Wins Aghin. Monnis Pan Y., August 31.--Thirty thousand persons were present to-day to witness the close of a very successful race meeting. All interest centered in the great ‘White Plains handicap for two-year-olds. EL Rio Rey was for the socond time to battle with some crack youngsters. The starter dropped his flag on one of the prettiest starts imaginable. Every horse was in mo- tion, W. G. Morris had a slight advautage. Ruperta was second, St. Carlo third, and the others o closely bunched that it was impossible to vick them out. When they came in sight at the head of the hill they were strotehed across the track like a troop of cavalry. Ruperta was the leader, fol- lowed by Cayuga, June Day and El Rio Rey. The latter appeared to be badiy pocketed, The leaders bore over until it appeared as if he would be shut off. With a shake, Winchell got him clear and in a couple of jumps ke was in front. Then he began to take things easy. Suadenly Ruperta came with a rush that_made the backers of the favorite quiver. Sho was gaining at every stride. In fact, for a mowment she was ahead. But Winchell \as equal to the occasion, and with one cutof his whip the gallant chestnut was again in front and had added auother to his unbroken list of victories. Rupi but a head bohind, four lengths fr Carlo. The time was 1:'1, one sacond better than the record. Leighton was fourth. The distance of the race was three-quarters of a mile.

SAx FraNcisco, August 8).—Among the passengers who artived on the steamer Zea- landia to-day from the Australian colonies via Samoa was Lieutenant W. D. Rose, of the United States storeship Monongahela, now stationed at Pago-Pago. He reports that the United States steamer Adams had* not. arrived at Samon when the Zealandia loft there on the 17th inst., but was expectod every day. It was on this acoount that Ad- miral Kimberly did not teave for San Fran- cisco on the Zealandia, He expects to return next month. King Malictoa, and several chiefs who were deported with him by the Germans two years ago, arrived at Apia from the Marshal islands on the German gun- boat Wolff a few days beforsa the Zealandia arrived at Samoa. Malicton’s ro- turn was maae the occasion of general re- joicing by the natives. His health is re- ported to be broken down, owing 10 his long exile, and for this reason ho will not attempt to resume control of affairs for the present. Mataafa will still continue in office. The political situation on the islands ro- mains quiet. The natives are also recov- ering from the famine. Tho Monongahela 80me time ago distributed among them 15,000 pounds of bread and larze quautities of rice and other provisions. - The Weather Orop Bullotin, Wasmisaron, August 31.—The weather crop bulietin says: The weather during the week was unusually warm and dry through- out the corn belt and extrems northwest, causing corn to mature rapidly, but the crop is much in need of rain in some localities. Hot winds and drouth have caused some damage to crops in Dakota, Illinois and Mis- sours, Early corn in the central valleys was much improved by the hot weather. bl iy A Scorcher. S1. Pavi, August 81.—The last day o August has not been by any means the cool- estof the summer. With the single excep- tioa of Duluth, the day has been uniformly a scorcher all over the northwest. This morning the mercury went up to 90 in this city, while the same temperaturo is reported from Huron, S. D., nnd Moorhead, Minn, Fort Buford, Dak., Helena, Mont., and Bjs- marck, N.

T Saan THE COUNTY .COMMISSIONERS, Tney Ask That a Grand Jury Inves tigate the Charges of Fraud. An upnsually quiet meeting of the board of. county commissioners! was held yesterday afternoon. 2 ‘I'he following bid was received from Les- lie & Lesli Omaa, Aug., 30—To The County Com missioners, Douglas County—Gentiemen: We again decline to tender for supply of drugs for the county on the sched- ule and specifications furnished us, We renew are former tender with which we furnished a bond of $300 to dispense all pre- scriptions for the county poor for a fixed amount of §275 per mouth, and if & contract were made for another year would take the stock of drugs now owned by the county at an appraised valuation—such’ appraisment to be made by the Richardson Drug.Co. LesLie & LesLie, J. T. Kinsler, J. A. Fuller & Co. and the Goodman drug company all made itemized bids. All of the bids were referred. The county attorney gave the board per- mission to sauction appointmeuts of deputy sheriffs, provided the same were necessary, and the board accepted the ruling of the attorney. After this there wag the usual amount of petitions and other ISwall stuff read, sub I ok land coffipany said that if the | board would grade Platte street from Dodgd, street Lo Mercer avenue, and commence the work so that it can b4 finished by ~Octobet 15, they would pay half the expense. The communication was referred to the commit- tee on rouds. i Residents of the Seventh ward then bobbed up with a petition that bore the si, natures of numerous residents of that dis- trict, ana asked that the First, Second and Seyenth wards compose a justice of the peace district. This, with another of the same sort, was ordered on file. The Coburn matter was touched upon lightly by the board, 4nd there was some discussion upon the matter, but at last it was decided that the affair rested ¥ntirely with the courts. A committee of the whole enthusiastically rosolved that the suw of §100 be expended towards decorating the court house during Merchants’ weeck. The resolution was adopted amid great enthusiasm, and Chuir- man Mount was wstructed to set a force of one man at work immediately. The following appropriation sheets were ed 0. 11 General fund.. . 43, Bridge fund . 12, General fund, . 23, Hospital fund. Mr. O'Keeffe introduced the following res- olution : ‘Whereas, The public press has charged that there has been fraua in connection with the new county hospital building, and also that the county commissioners were mixed up In it, that the county attorney be in- structed to request the court to order the im- paneling of a grand jury to investigate the charge. T'ho resolution was adopted, he board then proceeded to vote on the matter of districting the city for justice of the peace purposes. Several ballots were taken and finally on the seventeenth batlot the following result was arrived at: First district, First, Second and Seventh wards; Second district, Third, #ifth and Eighth wards; Third district, Fourth, Sixth and Nioth wards, Under this order of things the republicans are sure of the Third dis- triet, the deniocrats sure of the First, while both' republicans and democrats have a fighting chance for the Secona district.

TO THE PUBLIC, PR W The Postmastet General Refusos to Talk—Threo Yists of Omaba In- dian Lande Farfelted—An Ate torney's fvm\.-n Practice. 518 FOURTRENTA STRERT, Wasnixaron, D. C., August 81, The report that Postmaster General Wana- maker and Dr. Norvin Green have been in consultation concerning a schemo whereby the telegraph company 18 to accept mes- sages propaid by stamp at extremely low rates and that the letter carriers aro to de- liver the messages free of charge, croated o good deal of talk in Washington to-day. In- quiry at the department failed to reveal the foundation for this report, and the postmus- ter general himself doclines absolutely to talk upon the subject. It must therefore be taken with a number of grains of allow- ance, as the postmaster general has hardly the power under the law to enter into a contract which would involve the em. ployment of government servants by a pri vate corporation. There is no doubt, how- ever, that Wanamaker believes that some such schieme us that outlined in the dispatch sent out can be successfully carried out, but it will noed congressional action, and it is probable hav the couference was with the idea of presenting to congress views in har mony with the suggestion that letter carriers should be engaged to deliver telegrams. Mr. John W. Mackaye, according tothe re- port, was aleo in conference with the post- master general and Dr. Green yesteraay when they had their talk about the relations betwaen the telegraph companies and the government. OMANA INDIAN LANDS FORFEITED. Actiug Secretary Chandler declared forfeit three lists of Omaha Indiau lands upon which default has been made either as to payment of interest cr by failure to prove up, or which have not heretofore been sold, recent- ly_transmitted by the register of the land office at Neligh, Neb, About 2,500 acres are covered by the lists submitted, and the act- ing secretary directs that they be advertised and sold 1n compliance with the act of May 15, 1888, Wasnixarox Bureau, Trr OMana Bre, } INDIAN LAND FRAUDS. The Indian office here is just now engaged in looking into some land frauds which are hardly of the same character as those which Mr. Sparks was 80 particuiar in pointing out during his administration of the land office. A very peculiar case is the immediate cause of the Indian office’s inquiry. It seems that some two yearsago K. L. Leathergood was appointed agent for the eastern band of the Cherokees, located in western northern Car- olina. T.asvJuly Mr. Leathergood’s services were dispensed with by the department and he was succeeded by a Cherokee. This new agent reports that Leathergood immedi- ately after his dismissal from the service entered upon and took up 180 acres of land within the Indian -reservation. Less than, 1wo weeks after his eatry he had by some means unexplaiued; secured a patent for the, lands from-the state,, Since that time there have been a great many entries of Indian land by whites on this reservation, and the Indian office is anxious to know by what right the state assumes the responsibility of disposing of Indian;lands without any con- sultation whatever with,the federal authori- ties. THE HUMORIST OF THE IOU Congressman Alfen’ 0f Mississippi is the funny man of the house. Covgressman erson ‘of _Towa, a candidate for the speakership, i8'0f a' rathor scrious turn of mind. Allen is “a’red-hot bourbon demo- crat; Henderson 18 'a fed-hot stalwart, un- compromising republican. These two men are the most intithate personal friends. Allen fought in the confederste army as a privato, and says he 1s- the only man south of Mason’s and Dixon’s line who is willing 1o acknowledge that he was anything less than u colonel. Henderson, who born otiand, commanded one of the lown ments in the field, and ieft a portion of his left leg there. The other day Alleu went to Henderson ana express a that a carpet-bagger republican would be appointed to his local postofti Henderson said that Pirst As- sistant Postmuster General Clarkson was an ntimate friend of his ana that he would see that no foreigners were introduced into ofticial position in Allen’s town. Alien and Henderson went down to the postofiice de- partment und had an interview with ¢ son. Allen sail that he would not 6bject to the appointment of any republican in the town to the postoftice, but Lie did ot want a man outside of his congressional district given the place. Clarkson smiled and said that he would try to find a republican in Allen’s town. Allen left satistied. ‘The ap- pointment was mude to-day, and the name was that of a clergyman who hails from Jowa. Mr, Clarkson took pains to ascertain after Mr. Allen’s visit that there was not a single republican in Mr. Allen’s town, THE PRESIDENT WEARS THE G. A, R. BUTTON. Some of the veterans who served on the union side in the war, are commenting over the fact that President Harrison invariably wears the grand army button on the left lapel of hiscoat. So many public men who were ofticers are wearing the button of the Loyal Legion, and practically discarding that of the Grand Army: that this acton of the vresident has caused commendation from those who served in the ranks. In the sonate and house of representatives the Loyal Legion button on the republican side aro about s thick as blackoerrics m Jul The Grand Aviny insignia is not _so generally worn. Some of the representatives are ve obtrusive 1n their display of military decora- tions, while others eaually entitled” to wear them do not avail themselves of their privil- ege in this respect. Since the Harrison ad- ministration came in there has been a marked increase in the number of Grand Army buttons displayed by the clerks who served in the war and are holding positions in the severai departments. During the Cleveland administratlon it was a rare thing to see one of these buttons on the coat of a clerk. The mania for wearing badges has broken out outside of the Grand Army and Loyal Legion members since March 4. Ivery school boy and school girl who has won @ medal for superiority in studies show them ~ upon the slightest provocation, There are quite & number of Washingtonians who have received decora- tions from foreign governments. Theso gen- tlemen are content 1O Weur tbem only upon public occasions. ‘If the custom still prevails at the oficial receptions next winter, the east room of the white house will look something like the window of a modern pawn shop. THE EDITOR 'WAS IN. One of the brightest-men who has been crunected with the press-of Boston was the late Nathanel Grc’iz, A’ gentleman who served with him in editorial cavacity on the Boston Post relates the following inter- esting incident which habpencd some years ago: “‘Nat Green was Eg Post.

If the dramatic editor had been in I would have chastized him.’ - “‘He had no sooner said this than Green jumped to his feet, grabbed the would-be actor by the back of the neck, snd said, quietly ; **I10ld you that the dramatic editor was not in.

Cnrcaco, August 3i.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bee.|—Seven people were more or less injured in a train wreck at Elmhurst, a smali suburb on the Northwestern road sixteen miles out of the city, at 11:10 last night. The Omaha passenger train, consisting of three baggage cars, four passengers cars and two sleepers, left the city at 10:30 last night. Half a mile cust of Elmhurst the train had to stop to allow a freight trawn to side track in order that the passenger train imight pass. The night was very foggy, and two dan- ger signals were hanging out at the rear of the train, but the cars had barely stopped when, with @& rush and ro a ingle cngmne, a ‘“‘wild” one from the city, came tearing.. down the track at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The engineer claimed that he did not sce tho signal lights on the rear of the Omaha tram, At any rate,he and his firoman, whose numes could not be learned, had just time to jump when the engine smashed into the Pullman couch. The engine run her cowcatcher under the trucks of the car, raised it, and threw it off into the ditch and partially on its side, while the engine, dismantled and a stackless wreck, rolled over on the side of the track, The coach that was struck was forced into the one ahead, which was knocked clear off its trucks. Other than this it was not badly damaged. The cars were filled with passengers, most of whom had retired, all of whom were more or less injured. Several gentlemen broke open the windows of the coach and escaped from the car in that way, and also assisted the Iady passengers out.” It wus a miraclo that ali those in the coach were not _killed, ortunately there was no one in the end state room. Had it been the occu- pants would have beew erushed to death, as L\‘w entire rear of tha car was smashed into picces. Tran Dispatcher: Egan was at once noti- fied of the wreck by telegraph, and he sent a relief train out to Elnburst in a hurry. it_got there, however, 1t was found the wreck haa been tially el nd the unmjured portion ol the train had~ proceeded on its way, taking the wounded, of whom there were seven, *The seven could not have been badly » said Mr. Egan this morning, “‘as they right on. ~ I didn'v leurn any names, ‘The blame we haven't yet located. ~ 1 do not. think uny one was respousible, as the rear lights were put up and the fog obscured them.” . Tho damage is placed at from $5,000 to 000, The rear coach is worthless, the naxt one badly damaged, and the engine that ran into the train lost-her smoke stack and about all her upper works. Four People Killed. MippLEBURY, Vt., August 3L—An excur- sion tram to Burlington from the horse breeders, meeting at Rutland and a stock train bound south, collided at 8:30 last night near Brooksville. Both engines, one car and part of another car of the c: fon train, and ten or twelve stock cars loaded with hogs were wrecked. Engineer Morey, of the passenger train, was killed at his post. Pas- senger Conductor Blodgett, Passengor Fn- gineer Emery and Pircman Allen wero also killed. Four or five others received serious njuries. SLANDERED BY HER MOTHER, The Reason Given By Belle Priest For Attempting Sunicide, Another name has been added to the list of attempted suicides. This time it is Miss Belle Priest. of 4073% North Seventeenth strect, who tried to shuffle off this mortal coil via the morphive route, She swallowed about ten grains of the drug yesterday after. noon, but the size of the dose saved her life, A physician was called, who administered an emetic and.soon had his patient safely on the return from the river Styx, The cause of all this commotion 18 & most unfortunate state of affairs, Miss Priest keeps roomers and boarders at the above number, and her mother is 1 the same usiuess at 405} on the same street. The bone of contention is @ younger sister of Miss Priest, who prefers to live with her sister, much against the will of the elder The little eirl has, on many occas- been the victim of her mother's wrath, and yesterday was no exception to the usual rule, A severe whipping was administered, but not without a strong pro- test from the elder sister. Hot words fol- lowed, the exact substance of which no one knows, but it is understood that among other things the old lady repeated remarks which she had made at various other times, reflect- ing severely upon her elder daughter’s re- spectability.. At any rate, Mrs. Priest sal- lied forth to the police court and tried to get & warrany_for her daughter’s arrest on the charge of keeping & house of ill-fame. She was not able to make any positive state- ments and the warrant was refused. ‘The neighbors are of the opinion that Mrs. Priest is slightly demented, and state that thiere is no ground for her statements refloct- ing on her daughter's character, rs. Priest was seen and stated that she had come here from Shenandoab, Ia., about four weeks ago, and had at once commenced taking roomers. She made & number of statements regarding her dsughier, and the people who are rooming with her daughter who are all married people, by the way, but it 'was ovident from her conversauon and genaral manner tist she s not responsible or what she says. The strike o! Smith & Co.'s and Fitzpat- rick & Co.’s men, engaged in public works, was still on last night ions, CLARKSON AND HIS AIDES, They Moot and Perfect Arrangements for the Big Parade. Grand Marshal Clarkson met all the sub- marshals of tho Merchants’ parade at the Millard hotel last night. Mr. Kierstoad moved that so much as per- tains to the procession on whoels should move in single file. This brought forth considerable discuss ion. Mr. Garnoau said that last year it had takon twohours for the procession to pass a given point, and he thought this was too long. Mr, Kierstoaa's motion finally prevailed. Major Clarkson read a protest from tho Omaha typographical union against allowing Meossrs, bson, Miller & Richardson’s non- union men appearing in line. ‘Che union said that they would turn ot 226 umiformed men if their protest was recog- nized. They did not object to the firm making a display of theivown manufactures, such as books, pamphiets, ete., but they did not desire to see “‘scabs” in line. 1t was sugeested that if a committee shonld call upon Messrs. Gibson, Miller & Richard- son, they would probably agree to the de- mands of the composita Mr. Easson said he was in favor of allow- g all unions to onter the parade. ‘There werae noae in line lust vear and he could not see why there should be in this year, but they might come if they so dosired.” Somo- ono said that he thought there had been union men in the parade last yoar. ‘“No,” said Mr, Ensson, ‘thero wero not, ‘There were on the Fourth of July, whon wo allowed ‘nigeer’ bricklayers and’ everybody else in, but there were none allowed in tho Merchants’ woek parage, This parade is gotten up for the benefit of the morchants of Omaha, and I'do not think it is the place of any union 10 attempt to dictate to the mer- filmnm in regard to whom they shall have in D The matter was discussed pro and con, but 1t was evident that the general feeling was against the union. The matter was finally left to the committee on press and publish- ing houses to settle the bost way they can. Mr. Kierstead reported that he had secure a rate of $0 from the Union Pacifio for a train of ten coaches to carry people from the city to South Omaha on Tharsday. The people down there, he said, wore intending to pre- pare some le entertainment for visitors, and would serve a very elegant lunch at that time. He also said that the Union Pacific had desired to give the train free, but it was against their rules. It had been suggested to him that all that was neeessary to cover this was for a member of the finance commit- tee to call upon the officers of the road and this would be made good. The question arose as to the means of keeving a rabble from capturing the train. It is the mtention to run this train for the benefit of the merchants from the country, It was decided that 1,000 tickets be printed and given to the drummers’ committe to dis- tributs to their customers among country merchants. The meetzng then adjourned. A ORAP DEN RAIDE Police Officers Swoop Down on an Alleged Political Club. The police made a raid upon what purports 10 be a negro political club, near Eloventh street and Capitol avenue, but which is, in reality, one of the worst crap dens in the city. The place has been under surveillauce for some time, and last night a descent was made upon the room. Detectives Ormsby and Mostyn ascended to the room and knocked at the door. The door was opencd, and as soon as the doorkeevor, Billy Hightower, saw who his visitors were he struck Mostyn, who was ahead, a power- fut blow, which kiocked him across the hall, Ormsby then tried to effect an entrance and received aterrific blow on the head, which knocked him nown tho stairs. He recoverod from the blow and placed the wholo crowd under arrest. I'wenty-one negroes were captured. all but three being charged | with gambling, and the others with fighting and resisting an officer. s~ SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, The Armour-Cudshy Picnic, At noon Saturday 1,241 tickets had been sold for the picnic to be given at Waterlco Sunday by the employes of the Armour- Cudahy packing company.
