The race stamps Morello ag a first-class raco horse, as he was conceding lumps of wolght to some good stake horses. It wasa pretty contost, and the crowd was worked up 0 & high piteh while the battle wason. Mad- 1son kept Morello in third place until they bassed the half. Then he let out a link in the bridle ribbonsand sent the Futurity winner ahead to the three-quarters. Now Mcuafferty urged Aloha, and the latter showed the way into the strotch with Mo- tello second. Madison drew his whip and gave Morello one cut. Like a rubber ball he bounded into the lead and won by a_length. Morello was a popular e monoy favorite. Tho stake was worth $5,470 to the winuor. The weather was pleasant and track good.

Assoclation Formed and Sohedule Adopted at New York, New Yonrk, June 8.—The National association has adopted an official schedule for the season. President Byrne of the sociation, in speaking of the constitution said that it was “‘ribbed and steel-bound:" that it was ten times more binding than the lJaws that govern base ball and there is the slightest looptale left for hippodroming of v description, On the other hand, the intercsts of the riders are protected by the associntion guaranteeing all pur if & club fails to malke good the ¢ offered at a meet the association will make good and hold that organization for the amount. All that is required of the wheel- men is straightforwnrd, upright work, Tho schedule shows thirty-nine races to be run under the rules of the association, covering a period of about four months. The races will be run in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Troy, Boston, Buffalo, St. Louis and Milwaukee. Either one of the rules require that thirty- nine days racing shall not be run for less than 00 ver day as a minimum, It means that the new association will offer a g total of at least £19,000 for its riders to for during the scheduled season; that this amount will be greatly inercused shown by the fact that New York already given notice that it will offer not less than £1,000 per day for their meetings on July 8 and 4, which woula br thoseason's money up to wmore than £20.000. Besides theso scheduled races, as above, there will be sanctioned races av fairs and smaller citics which ave not members of the association, which will make the chances for successful racing men to win farze additional purses.

Whisperings of the Wheel. ““Where, oh! where! is Captain Potter these fine days" is a frequent iuquiry at the club house, In Holton, Mulhall, Borglum, Culley. Potter ana Barnum, the Tourists have a good racing team. A telephone has been put in at the Tourist club house and the boys can say '‘hello’” now without riding down town. The Omaha Wheel club and Tourist Wheel- men have joined runs with the Ganymede Wheel club of Council Bluffs this month. Captains Potter and Conradt have pub- lished their June run cards for thoeir respec- tive clubs. The cards embrace some very pleasant spins. The entertainment committee of the Tour- ists will soon announce another club social, at which a high rive and checker tournament will be part of the program. Council Biuffs bids fair to rival Omaha as a oycling town now. Thero are nearly as many whoelmen and wheel women in the Bluff city as in the metropolis. Holton, Whitehouse, Mulhall, Beard and Borglum of the Tourist Wheelmen were among the Omaha cyclists who took in the road race at Lincoln on Decoration day. The Omaha Wheel club pedaled down to Glenwood last Sunday, a big crowd turning out, The club spent the day in the pleas- antly situated little burg, returning in the evening, Club runs have lost none of their old-time attractiveness for the Omaha cyclists, to Judge from the number who turn out on club tours. May they never coase to be a feature of club life. Nelson, the Grand Island boy who won the Pullman at Chicago on Decoration day is well known at Omaha, he is the lad who made such a creditable showing at the York tournament in 1891. B. J. Scannell of tho Omaha Wheel club is wearing a gentle reminder of last Sunday's run in the shape of a badly cut face, his wheel breaking and throwing him headlong while descending a hill. The Tourist Wheelmen havo been adding to their library, having purchased a com- plete set of the Kncyclopedia Britannica. The books, twenty-five volumes in number, add materially to the literature of their pleasant reading room. Eight of the Interocean Wheelmen of Sioux City visited Omaha on Decoration day, hav- ing started from Sioux City in the afternoon of the 20th. The boys rode throughout the night over muddy roads und sand hills. Tho distance is 115 miles. They returned by train. The contest for the Tourist club medal has now fairly started and from present indica- tions will be a very interesting and_spirited struggle. Four men are tied for first place with a goodly number pushing them closely. The standing will be published in next Sun- day’s issue of Tne Bee The Tourist Wheelmen will soon give the lucky men a chance to draw a high-grade bieyele—Rector, Wilhelmy company having donated them 'a high-grade $140 wheel which will be raflled off for the benefit of the club at an early date. Tickets will soon be placed on sale and date of raffle announceds e WILL ARREST 1HE RIDERS. Another Move by the Humane Socleties to Prevent the Cowboy Ruce. DusvqQue, Ia., June 3.—The great cowboy race to start from Chadron, Neb., June 13, is to pass through this city, providing the riders are not stopped before reaching here. The Humane society of this city received notification from the Humane society of Minneapolis that they had appoimted a com- mittee which would arrive in Dubuque next weck to see personally that arrangements for stonping the riders are perfect. They are determined to see that the riders do not enter Chicago, As now arranged, this city is the last registering point in the race, and the riders, upon leaving here, are to go straight through to Chicago. Great indig- nation prevalls in this city among the mem- bers of the Humane sogicty, and the minis- ters of the gospel have been®proclaiming from the pulpit the evils attending the race, should it be allowed to go on.. The riders will meet with a cool reception upon their arrival. MiNNgAPoLis, Minn., June 3.—The Humane society met this afternoon and took steps looking toward the suppression of the pro- posed cowboy race from Chadron, Neb., to the World's fail A series of resolutions were adovted protesting against the race and appealing for funds to aid in stopping ft.

Shuweiler, em- ployed in Thomas’ harness factory, fell down the clevator shaft from the fourth story today and was probably fatally hurt. CRUSHED 0 DEATH [CONTINUED PROM MIRST PAOR. | bdabilot B el e hard time of it since e éatered tho fire do- artment. Not long ago he fell down a slid- ng pole at the engine house and broke both arms. He was laid up fot a long time and had but recently takem/his place at his post of duty. [ Next to Firoman Morris was a stranger in town who gave his neme as Jim Connelly, and his residenco as Sorauton, Pa. Connelly was merely a spectator aml was standing at the front of the wall; inside the fire lines when the building fells Hi was taken out of tho ruins and conveyed to the jail in the im- provised ambulance. Connelly was conscious whilo his wounus wore being dressed but after this he sunk into a sleep and it is doubtful if he will recover. C. C. Ellingham, driver for Second As- sistant Chief Barnes, was struck on the head by falling bricks and broken glass and will be laid up for some time, . Ho was takon to police headquarters and his injuries dressed by the city physician. Georgo Coulter, the superintendent of the fire and police alarm service, was the fourth man brought in. Coulter had been caught in the falling walis in the front of Kd Mauror's building and was completely buried in theruins. A rumour was imme- diately spread that Mr. Coulter was. dead and the firemen went to work with a_ will and dug their comrade out. When Coulter arrived at tho jil he was examinod by Dr. Leo and others and tho opinion was exprossed that the pationt would live, as the injuries consisted mostly of bruises on the head and body. Upto8 o'clock this morning Mr., Coulter was unccne scious, but the dootors in attendance claim shat ho will pull through, The police at headquarters did everything in thoir power Lo aid tho physicians in their care of the injured men. Operator Hengen's Experiens James Hengen, one of the oporators in the fire and police alarm gives a graphic des- cription of the manner in which the brave firemon met their death, He was an eye witness aud at the same timehad a vory narrow escape himself. Hengen had just been relleved by the night operator as the alarm was turned in and he at once started for the fire. For a fow minutoes ho stood around watching the progress of the flames and then walked to the rear end of the Merchants' National bank and up the alley to the back end of the Shiverick building. At that time the flames wero just breaking through the roof and a moment later they were reaching toward the sky. Justthen a squad of firemen were ordered up the alley to play a stream upon the walls of the burning builaing and in order to secure & better position the men climbed to the roof of the Maurer building, where they stood for some time. Hengen was standing upon the roof of the Maurer building, watching the progress of tho flames as they crept from floor to floor. Without warning, the top of the brick wall commenced to sway and topple. Hengen called to the firemen and started to run, but had moved scarcely a dozen feet before the brick and mortar came tumbling down and buried the men beneath the ruins. The young operator was struck by the brick and debris, knocked down and buried, but by a fortunate accident his coat caught on a beam, which held him suspended in midair, whero he hung until he rescued himself and slid down a telephone vale, reaching the ground in safety, with the exception of a few scratches and shght bruises. When the crash came Captain Cox was close to the wall of the falling building, directing his men and telling them where thoy could do the most effective service Mayor Bemis' Words and Deeds. Tmmediately after the general alarm was turned in Mayor Bemis went out into tho storm and stood an-intevested spectator, offering words of encouragement to the fire: men. When he learued thnt some of the men were injured hegwont to the station, where he remained antil the last wounded man was brought in and cared for, assisting in washing the injured men and holding bandages. After thai he returned to the scene of the fire, where; pick in hand, he burrowed into the debris, Leiping to tind the bodies of the dead. Cherished Hopes DBiasted. The fatalities of the conflagration were attended ome exceptionally pathetic in- cidents. - Pipemen Ouray of No. 7, who was killed by the falling of the rear wall of the Shiverick building, was cngaged to be mar- riea, and his wedding day was fixed for Wednesday of this weck. Instead of bemng a happy briae the girl of his choice will be a mourner on her wedding day. Dan_ Morrls, another member of tho 7T's, who fell with Ouray, had only been at work for a day or two after a three weeks vacation. His 2-year-old boy had been very sick and his death was hourly expected. Morris took a lay-off to watch at his bedside and_the little sufferer had been nursed back to health, Morris had arranged to send the wife and child out into the country tomorrow, and yesterday several times oxpressed his gratitude that his boy had been spared 1o him and was hoping tha the trip into the country would complete his restoration to health. Rescuing a Co.mrade. Prominent among the instances of personal bravery noticed during the firo was the dar- ing effort which culminated in the rescue of George Coulter from the ruins of the Maurer building, where ho had been buried under tons veight of debris. He was lying a little back from the west door of the restaurant, and tho front wall of the builaing had been partly overturned and overhung tho cn- trance. It was liable to fall at auy moment, but notwithstanding the imminent danger, half a dozen firemen sprang forward to freo tum, Thoy were digging away at the debrls at the base of the wall aud " at every stroke of the axes tho dauger of being buried under its ruins increased. But they did not hesi- tate. 1t required nearly an hour to get him freeand the firemen worked like Trojans seemingly unmindful of the fact that each moment might be -their last, Toward the last tho wall trembled and it seemed that tho fall could be delayed but a moment longer. Citizens who were standing near implored the firemen to come aw:y before the catastrophe occurred, but they refused tolisten. One of them shouted that they would never leave their comrade to perish and tho others bent with added energy to thei= work. Five minutes after they fell back but thoy carried Coulter with them and the spectators who had been almost holding their breath as the men worked in the face of a horriblo death could hardly ropress a cheer of cxultation notwithstanding the burden the firemen bore. Sparks from the Runs, Just before the west wall of the Shiverick building fell there were six waiters and bar- tenders at work in d Maur taurant all unconscious of the terrible fate that menaced them. “Spud”. Farrish, secretary of the chief of the fire department, was standing in_froat of the building and suw the wall begin to tremble’* Ho dashed into the building and oxhorted the waiters to fly for their lives.

T HEAVY FAILURE HICAGO. arance of the Senlor Partner and tor Partner Slok. Cnicaao, 111, June 8. —Herman Schaffner & Co , private bankers, have made an assign- ment. The firm is the largest private con- cern in Chicago or thenorthwest dealing ex- clusively in commercial paper. The firm is also about the oldest of its kind in Chicago. No statement, of the bank's failure was filed with the application for a rvecelver. The assignment was made to the American Trust and Savings bank. The cashier of that institution, on visiting the suspended institution's quarters this morning, found a large, demonstrative crowd around the closed doors. To add to tho excitement it was rumored that Schaffner had committed suiciae. Investigation developed the fact that the assignment was the direct result of the dis- appearance of Herman Schaffner, the junior member of the firm. 1t is said the bank has been in straits for some days and that its difficulties have preyed very heavily on Schaffner's mind. ~He left the bank vestor- ay afternoon and has not been seen since, though diligent search has been made for him, His friends say mental aberration is not known in his family and they fear his distress has unbalanced his mind and that some mishap has befallen him. The police have been notified to keep a sharp lookout for him. His partner, A. G. Becker, is so overcome by the train of ills that he has taken sick and is now confined to his boed, A representative of the assignce says the cause of the failure was too much com- mercial paper. In this line the firm was the lavgest in the country, handling $35,000,000 worth last year. ‘There has been littie mar- ket for it since tight money came. It will take some time to make up a statement of assets and liabilities. Caught by Recont Failures. It is said the firm was caught by several recent failures for sums ranging from $100,- 000 down. It is further said the bank, when in need of money, pledged comyercial notes as collateral for advances from other banks. There i also a theor, that Schaffuer was caught in the recent great slump in valueson the local stock exchangi The attoruey for the bank has made a statement in which ho says expected the suspension will be only tempo- rary,and it was made only because of Schaff- ner's disappearance, which was likely to cause distrust. The firm dealt in mortgages, which it sold on their merits without en- dorsement, and 18 therefore not liable on it No bank in the country will lose anything, and he feels sure the firm will pay in tull. NEw York, June 3.— The correspondent in New York of Herman Schaeffer was the American Exchange National bank. The Chicago bank formerly kept an averago bal- ance of 20,000 at the bank, and it had been recently reduced. An overdraft from them for 000 was thrown out today. RUN ON A MILWAUKEE BANK, Depositors Rofusod Their Money and They Must Wait Thirty Days. MiLwavkee, Wis., June 3.—There was a run on the Commercial bank here yésterday and when the doors closed thers was still a long line ot depositors anxious to draw out their money. The run was confined almost exclusively to patrons of the savings de- partment and from the very beginning the bank enforced its rule requir- ing a thirty-day notice on all devosits over $100. fwo policemen wero sent to the bank, and 4 line formed. The news of therun quickly spread and the line grew longer each hour, as the depositors ar- rived faster than the teiler could record the notices of withdrawal. Business men gen- erally deposited with the bank as though nothing had happened and a number of de- ts were made by public-spirited cf to inspire confidence. The savings depositors n line merely looked pityingly at the peopl and kept their places. They wanted their money, and did not care who was putting mouey in the bank; they wanted theirs out. It was no test of the bank’s condition, owing to the fact that the rule requiring a'notice of withdrawal was enforced. The trial will take place thirty days from now. Froderiok Day Assigns. MiLwAukge. Wis., June 3.—F'rederick Da; president of the Plankinton bank, this afternoon made an involuutary assignment to William N. Omsen, cashier of ithe bani, who furnished bonds in the sum of 300,000, Mr. Day's nommnal assets aro placed at $000,000 and his liabilities at $500,000. So far ' the examination of his assets has been only cursory, but 1t is believed that enough can be realized from his assets to meet all his debts. In doing this however, his large private fortune will be utterly wrecked. Reckless bank methods wero the cause of Mr. Day’s failure.

They were permitted W see only a few of the principal buildings, owing to the short time givea them. At parting they expressed their re- grots that their visit was necessarily so short, that they were delighted with the beautiful city and the push of its citizens, and the very cordial reception extended to them KKEarNey, Neb., June 8.--[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee. |—The excursion tendered the members of the National Association of sians and Surgeons by the Union Pa- o pussed through here this evening. It was in two sections, and there were nearly 1,000 delegates on the two trains, They were met at the depot by the Midway wilitary band and fully 2,000 citizens were conasegatod on the platform. A stop of twenty minutes was wade aud teawms were provided for giving thom a drive through the business part of the eity, but a severs storm coming up only a fow deleg: stopped off the train.

Fate of the Negro Assallant uf ‘Two Whit Women, Decarur, I, June 3.-—The mob which gathered yesterday on tho arrival hero of the negro captured near Sullivan, I, charged wit hasaulting Mrs. West and Mrs. Hub Dill last Monday near Mount Zion, forced its way into jail at8 o'clock this morning, took the ravisher out, and lynched him, No resistance was made to the mob, Owing to tho throats of lynching earlier in the day an extra police foro of twelve men had been put inside the jail and another force outside. A scout sent out to Mount Zion early in the night reported overything quiot and foars of troublo had been about given up, though 500 curious people ‘stood around the jail all nignt, unwilling to miss the chance of a sensation. About 3 o'clock tweuty-five armod men marched to the jail ina solid body and demanded admission. This was rofused and the wooden outside door was at once battered down with sledge hammers, while the crowd looked on without protest. Once insido the lynchers demanded the koys, which the guardsdeclared they did not have. The lynchers at once sot to work on the iron door with a cold chisel and opened itin twenty minutes. Then came the steel door, which resisted another twenty minutes. Had Things Thelr Own Way. Meantimo a great crowd of citizens had gathered outside and looked on. The city marshal appeared, forced his way iuside, but was kicked 1n the stomach by the lynch- ers and hustlod out, after which he also sub- sided, Finally the lynchers reached the cell of the negro, whose name was Sage Bush. They put o leather strap around his neck and took him to a telegraph post under the glare of an electric light and gave him ton minutes to pray. Then they swung him up and dropped him and finally put him on the top of a hack, tied the strap to the cross arm of the post and drove the hack from under him. He was vronounced dead in two minutes by doctors who appeared on the scene and noted the ebbing of the wreteh's life. He protested his innocence to the last. Then the Mob Went Home. As soon as his death was assured the Mount Zion mob left for home. The men wore no masks and made no attempt to con- ceal their identity. Among the number were: Willlam West, husband of the woman outraged by the negro Tuesday, and Rolla Dill, brother of the woman out- raged Mon I'rom all the circumstances it seems measurably certain that Bush was guilty of both assaults. T'he most remark- able feature of the whole affair seems to be that twenty-five men could march into a town of over 20,000 inhabitants, and, without even a show of resistance, batter down the doors of the jail and hang a human being. There was much indignation among the better class of citizens when they gotup this moruing and found the negro Bush had been hung on one of the principal streets. Much more indignation was aroused when it w discovered that the undertaker had places the body on exhibition in his show window. He was soon compelled to remove it. This afternoon it was taken out and buried at the poor farm. : This afternoon States Attorney Mills re- ceived a message from Governor Altgeld and went to Springfield for a conference which preceded the proclamation from the go ernor as mentioned in the Springfield di. pateh.
