The regular racing events brought out much enthusiasm, of which the class B competition won the most. These events were redhot uncertain to the end. The two-thirds mile open for a trip to furope and return was a battle royal. Bald, Porter, Murphy, Gardiner, Coulter and Jenney lined up at the start. At the head of the stretch Bald was fourth and seemed to be beaten, but Gardiner and Coulter swung wide in turning and the Buffalo boy cut by them at the pole, run- ning bhome in a driving finish a wheel ahead of Charley Murphy. The half-mile National championship was called next, with Murphy, Ziegler, Bald and McDonald on the mark. Murphy went ahead and stayed there until the last turn, when Bald and McDonald flashed by him, with Ziegler on the outside. Down the stretch came the two Columbia boys abreast, straining every nerve. At the tape McDonald made a supreme effort, and in trying to fling himself over first raised his ront wheel clear off the ground. To many in the stand it looked e McDonald’s race, but the judges decided on Bald as the winner. Howard E. Raymond, ex-chairman of the National racing board, Chicago, was referee. The judges were: H. Robinson, Boston; W. H. Pitman, New York, and D. W. Roberts, St. Lo A big surprise to many was the appear- ance in the professional event of Conn Baker, the Modesto (Ohio) man, and L. A. Silvie of Staten Island, who have pre- viously figured in class B. The B men were unable to make a showing in the money race, owing to the execrable handi- capping.

CHICAGO, Iin., July 12.—In a recent recount of the ballots in the McGann- Belknap election contest from the Second District Commissioner Keenan procured warrants for the arrest of the three judges of the Twentieth Election District in the First Ward. The men named in the war- rants charged with having made frandu- lent election returns are A. E. Gage; Republican, Andrew Buchanan and John Ready, Democratic judges. The warrants were immediately pllaced in the hands of Inspector Fitzpatrick for service. The recount of the Twentieth Precinct, on which the Belknap forces placed almost their entire confidence to win out, gave their candidate a majority of 128 more than shown by the official returns. With the counting of the Fifth #nd Sixth Pre- cinets of the Second Ward Belknap gained 12 additional votes, giving him a majority over McGann of 106 as far as the recount has progressed. If the contest is sustained Illinois will not have a Democratic representative. DENOUNCED 1S BOLTERS Carlisle Warned That He Is to Speak Before Renegade Democrats. Chalrman Smyth’s Explanation of the Split in His Party in Nebraska. OMAHA, Nes, July 12—Hon. C. J. Smyth, chairman Democratic Central Com- mittee, sent to-night to Secretary John G. Carlisle a letter telling him that the com- mittee had announced that Carlisle would address a Democratic State convention at Lincoln, September 5. Mr. Smyth as- serts that this convention is a bogus Dem- ocratic convention, and is called by bolters who withdrew from the State convention last year. He explains the case thu OMAHA, July 12, 1895. Hon. John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C.—DEAR Sir: We understand that you have been invited to visit Nebraska | and deliver an address at the convention called | to meet at Lincoln on September 5 next. If you have been led to believe that your invitation came from the regular Democratic organiza- tion we desire to inform you_that the conven- tion t0 be held on September 5 was not called by the Democratic Central Committee, but by & bolting organization formed last September regular Democratic convention under these | circumstances: The couvention had been regularly called and had been regulerly organized; the State Central Committee, 8t whose instance we now lected by a vote of the participating; the e had been selected maa of the commit in the same way, the platform hac been adopted in the same way, the Hon. W.J. Bryan had been nominated for United States Senator in the same way, the Hon. Silas A. Holcomb had been nominated for Governor in the same way, when 36 of the 566 delegates in attend- anc olted, formed a convertion, nominated a ticket and selected a State_committee, which committee, assuming to represent the Demo- eratic party, has called the convention to which you have been invited. The organization formed by the bolters and presided over by Mr. Euclid Martin attempted to have its candidates put upon the official ballot as the regular Democratic candidates, but the Secretary of State decided that the bolters had no right to speak for the party and the Supreme Court of this State subsequently refused to interfere with the Secretary’s de- . The bolting candidates were finally ed upon the ticket by “petition” as “straight Democrats,” while the nominees of the regular Democratic convention wcre recognized ns the nominees of the Democratic party of this State. The bolting candidate for Governor, nominated and supported by the Martin organization, received only about 7000 votes—less than 4 per cent of the totel vote cast. He concludes by inviting Carlisle to the regular State convention to be held ata date soon to be fixed, and to engagein a joint discussion of the silver question, call- ing attention to the fact that the last con- vention passed a resolution in favor of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. et o S 0 REFUSED TO GET OFF. . A Des Moines Man brot for Riding on the Platform of a Car. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 12.—William Badgeley, aged 23, got on a platform of a Rock Island train to ride acrossto East Des Moines to-night, accompanied by an- other young man. A stranger on the plat- form, wearing no uniform, ordered them off and they refused. The stranger then shot Badge{ey inthe abdomen as he was jumping off. ” He will probably die. The man who did_the shooting was ar- rested when the train reached Newton. He was F. Laughlin, a special agent of the Rock lslnng, who had been ordered to keep the platforms clear. T R DAMAGED BY FLOODS. Zewas and New Mexico Deluged by a Rubu.torm. DENISON, Tex., July 12.—A deluge of rain visited this section on Wednesday night and continued nearly all yesterday. The water courses overflowed their banks, doing immense damage to farmers in the lowlands. Owing to washouts all trains are runnin&v late. DEMING, N.

ONE OF THE REDS SLAIN. After a Sharp Resistance the Rest Lay Down Thelr Arnts. POACHED ON GAME PRESERVES. They Had Repulsed a Posse Sent to Drive Them From Their Old Hunting Grounds. CHEYENNE, Wro., July 12.—An In- dian runner came into Fort Washakie on the Shoshone reservation yesterday with reports which were sent here by the Pros- ecuting Attorney of Fremont County of a fight between the settlers of the Jackson Hole region in this State and a hunting party of Bannock Indians from the Lembi agency in Idaho. The Jackson Hole region lies immedi- ately south of the Yellowstone National Park, and has been settled but a few years. It is the finest hunting ground in the West, big game, such as elk, bear, moun- tain sheep ana in some seasons of the year buffalo, being plentiful. It is a favorite hunting field for Indians and the Crows from Montana, the Sioux from the Dakotas and the Bannocks from 1daho visit the region whenever they cau get an oppor- tunity. On June 29 a party of seven Bannocks were discovered by ranchmen killing elk in large quantities. A warrant for their arrest under the Wyoming game laws was sworn out and a constable and three men from Maryvale, the only settlement in that region, attempted to serve it. The Bannocks, however, resisted arrest and stood off the officer and his men with their rifles. The officer retreated and sent one of his men for re-enforcements. He, with the other man, kept watch of the Indians. Twenty settlers went to the aid of the constable, who was keeping on the trail of the Bannocks, who were joined by another hunting party, increasing the number of Indians to sixteen. The posse of settlers came together on July 2 and preparations for a determined fight were made. The Indians were followed to the Fall River basin, near the Three Tetons Mountains, where they were surrounded and a demand was made for their surrender. They showed fight, firing at the scout making the demand and attempting to escape through a gulch. Here they were headed off and one of them was killed. This discouraged them and they made signs that they were willing to surrender. The entire party of fifteen was captured and the dead man buried. The County Attorney of Fremont County, in whose district the fight oc- curred, left for Jacksqn Hole yesterday and will take charge of the case against the Indians if he finds they were violating the laws of the State END OF A TRAGIC CAREER, A Texas Firebug Sends a Bullet Through His Brain. Detected In an Attempt to Defraud Insurance Companles With Saw=~ dust Cigars. PARIS. Tex., July 12.—T. A. Jackson, a former merchant of Blossom, blew .his brains out with a revolver bullet at this place this morning, thus ending a criminal and tragic career. Jackson moved to Blossom from Antler, Ind. Ter., in March last and opened up in the grocery business. In the course of trade he opened ap an account with Abe Goldman & Bros., wholesale grocers of this place. The account became past due, and although a settlement was repeatedly re- quested it was not secured. Before the account became due Jackson stored three | cases of cigars in the Goldman warehouse. The Goldmans, thinking they weré amply secured in the cigars, did not push their claim. A short time ago Jackson burned out, and, among other things, put in a claim against the insurance company for 30,000 cigars, claimed to have gone up in smoke at the burning. The insurance company thought it quite unusual for a small mer- chant to have such a large stock of cigars, and refused to pay the claim until investi- gatad. The Goldmans heard of this and ecame suspicious also, and last night opened the cases of the supposed cigars stored with them and found them to con- tain nothing but sawdust. Abe Goldman, the senfor member of the firm, departed for Blossom on the early train this morning and finding Jackson charged him with fraud. Finally Jackson acknowledged guilt and offered to settle the account if Goldman would not prote- cute. Goldman refused to accept his terms. Jackson pleaded, but in vain. He then pulled a bulidog revolver from his pocket and attempted to murder Goldman, who beat a hasty retreat. A friend struck the istol from his grasp and saved Goldman, hen Jackson placed the pistol to his head and fired, killing himself instantly, R TSR DAVIS BIG STEAL. Peculations of the Bank Cashier Assume Large Proportions. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 12.—The de- falcation of C. D. Davis, manager of the Exchange Bank of Peru, [6wa, is worse than supposed. Davis burned all private papers and many more that referred to the business of the bank before leaving. Of course the bank officials now admit that he got away with $16,000 cash, and are not certain but that it may be much reater. Some of the outsiders say the 0ss is $28,000. Davis has been a successful scoundrel for years, and one story afloat is that he has been married three times. When he left Peru ke said he was going to be mar- ried, hence there was little suspicion for a long time. There seems no hope of catch- ing him. ST PATRIARCHS ELECT OFFICERS. F. C. Volts of Milwaukee Chosen Su- preme Commander. OMAHA, Ngsr., July 12.—The follow- ing Supreme Temple officers were elected at the morning session of the American Order of Patriarchs to-day: Supreme commander, F. C.

OBCEOLA, Iowa, July 12.—Fire was dis- covered in the basement of Goldsmith’s store in the Fowler block early this morn- ing. The smoke and flames filled the room and the Fire Department was powerless to handle it. Adjoining blocks were soen in flames, and in a short time a quarter ofa block was burned over. The bank bmlding of Simons & Co was on fire, but was save without serious damage. The buildings burned were brick, and owned by J. Gold- smith & Bro., P, T. Fowler, A. B. Lewis & Sons, Mrs. M. Morrison, James C. Harri- son and Shcrman Bros., owners of the Democrat. The total loss is $104,000. _The buildings included the best business district of the town. Nothing is known of the origin of the fire. The insurance will not cover more than half the losses. Most o;btlhe owners will rebuild as soon as pos- sible, WALLIN LIES IN ASHES Desolate Scene in the Town Swept by the Michigan Fire. Narrow Escape of a Woman and Three Children From Death In the Flames. THOMPSONVILLE, Micn., July 12— Forest fires are still raging north and south of here. Wallin, the small town five miles north that was swept by fire yesterday, presented a desolate appearance this morning. A Mrs, Griffin and her three small children, wrapped in bed- clothes, were found buried in the sand in a very precarious condition. The fire had swept over them and scorched them se- verely. Johnnie Payne,a boy 8 years of age, was found in the Betsy River with the fire raging on both sides of him. The little fellow had laid in. the stream all night. 8o far there has been no actual loss of life reported. The town of Cleary, which was said to have been destroyed, is thought to be safe, as the residents had back-fired on all sides. Grand Rapids and Indian River officials say the danger to other towns has not passed, and only heavy rains can avert enormous losses. The railway people state there was no loss of life at Wallin. TELA HCOLAS SO A Preliminary Hearing in the Action Against George Gould. Arguments of the Attorneys Are Heard Behind Closed Doors. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 12.—A great many persons were in the court in Jersey City expecting to hear the arguments for and against an order for the preliminary ex- amination of George J. Gould in the suit of Zella Nicolaus-Ruhman to recover a check for $60,000 which she alleges Mr. Gould gave her and then took back. Ex-Judge Hoffman and Lawyer Simpson appeared for Zella and Mr. Gould’s in- terests were cared for by Lawyer Linda- bury of Elizabeth and Lawyer Pierce from the office of ex-Judge Dillon in this city. The lawyers held a consultation with Jus- tice Lippincoit, after which the Justice and lawyers retired to the Judge’s cham- ber, where the argument was made. As this is a very unusual course in New Jersey courts it excited considerable comment. Justice Lippincott said he would give a decision within a week. et ELECTIONS IN ENGLAND, Resulits of the Voting for Members of Parliament.

DENVER, Coro., July 12.—The proceed- ings of the convention of the National Educational Association came to a close this evening. The morning session was devoted to a general discussion on *‘The Instruction and Improvement of Teachers Now at Work in the Schools’” Nearly all of the departments held sessions this after- noon. A large number of the visitors, in- stead of returning to their homes at the close of the convention, will spend the summer in Colorado. At the morning session Professor Earl Barnes of Stanford University read a paper on “Teachers’ Classes,” which showed that the difficulties come largely from the fol- lowing conditions: Difference in the de- greesof ability and training of teachersand range of interest; the scarcity of good leaders; the necessary differences in posi- tion and advancement, which often lead to overwork; dissatisfaction and jealousy. He said that when properly con- ducted classes enabled superintendents to detect genius; to introduce the student spirit into teachers’ work; to develop the spirit of give and take, and give unity and purpose to school work. The discussion was closed by Colonel Francis W. Parker ina warm tribute to Superintendent W. H. Maxwell of Brook- lyn, author of the new school bill of New York.

A Washington Man Who Married a Countess Is Now in an Asylum. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—Wash- ington furnishes proof that marriage isa failure, at least so far as an Italian Coun- tess and a resident of this city are con- cerned. For his third matrimonial chance W. P. Bagaly selected a noble lady of the rank of Countess, residing in Milan, Italy. They returned to this country to make their home here, and after a brief period Mrs. Bagaly found herself compelled to bring suit for divorce. This seemed to nnsettle Bagaly’s mind and he attempted to shoot his wife's law- yer. Heis now confined in the Govern- ment Insane Hospital. Mrs. Bagaly’s attor- ney says that she bas spent more than $100,000 on her American husband. SEEE S MAY TAKE AN APPEAL. Rumored Intention of the Southern Pacific in the Los Angeles Eand Case. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—The question of the ownership of several hun- dred thousand acres of land in Los Angeles County, Cal., recently decided as belong- ing to the United States, may probably be carried to the United States Supreme Court on appenl by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The case involves the ownership of over- lapping grants to the Southern Pacific and Atlantic and Pacific railroads. The former road, on-the ground that the Atlantic and Pacific road was never built, took posses- sion of the lands. The courts hold that the lands reverted to the United States. They will 1probahly not be opened to settle- H.:eug until final judicial decision is ren- ered. SILVER 0T THE ISSUE Senator Proctor Says It Will Not Figure in the Next Campaign. England’s Course May Effect a Great Change Before the National Conventions. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 11.—Sena- tor Proctor of Vermont, who is in Wash- ington for a few days, thinks it probable that before the National conventions meet in 1896 the silver question will be displaced by other issues. “There is time enough,” he said to-day, “for a great many things to happen pefore the Presidential campaign. Great Britain with its change in Ministry may assume a position in regard to silver which would make the early settlement of the question of bimetallism almost certain. In such an event the issue would take a secondary place in this country. I believe that the Republican party will come out st..ungly in favor of sound currency. That is its historic position, and it will not follow after new idols. While the party favors an enlarged use of silver any additional recognition given to silver must be within the bounds of safety. We cannot imperil the parity of the two metals so far as the United States is concerned.” Senator Proctor thinks that in the next Congress the Republicans will be found doing everything in their power to up- hold” the credit of the Government and that the Treasury Department, if in need of relief, will not appeal to them in vain. “Partisanship,” he said, ‘‘did not dic- tate Republican action in thelast Congress, and it will not dictate it now that a certain amount of responsibility rests with its leaders.” Senator Proctor thinks there will no attempt to make a general revision of the tariff.” With Cleveland in the White House that would be impossible. He does not think that additional revenues will be derived from increasing the tax on beer, which is the poor man’s beverage and already pays as high a tax as it can stand. *“I'he Republicans,” he said, “in the last Congress were the principal support of the administration in all efforts to preserve the credit of the country, and I do not think in the next Congress it will be found that they have suffered any loss of patriotism.” e g Milliken’s Escapade. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—The Grand Jury to-day returned a true bill against Benjamin Harrison Milliken, pri- vate secretary of Senator Harris of Ten- nessee, for feloniously entering the house of Hon.
