Maher, the quick-witted lightweight, dug his heels into High Degree and set sall for the pole. In a few strides the filly had her nose in front of Rusher. Inch by inch at first, then foot by foot, and the short first furlong had been covered with High Degree a half length | in° front of Rusher; he a couple of lengths in front of Autumn, on whom Taral was stpuggling hard in the deep going on the outside of the chute. | Prestidigitatrice was only a neck be- hind, with Scannell, Martimas, His | Lordship and Sir Hubert following and | all the others well up. It was anybody's race then. The chute was narrowing now and all were seeking a good place in which to round the bend into the main track. Maher wanted the hard going at the rail, but Rusher clung to High Degree like a leech and would not be shaken off. Two turlongs had been covered and High Degree was still a half-length in front of Rusher, who was then only a neck in front of the favorite, Autumn, Wwho was a nose in front of Sir Hubert, he in turn a neck in front of the Cana- dian, Martimas. Prestidigitatrice was | falling out of it and Armament was getting prominent. Now came a~hustle, for the turn was | at hand. All the boys were working like demons to get to the front. Rusher stopped as if he had been shot and then how Maher did ride! Crouching low on High Degree's neck he drove her with hands and heels and when there was but a quarter of a mile to go he was a length and a half in front; but he did not dare to swing over against the rail now, as he was far out on the track. Lewis, however, had gradually worked to the rail and as they turne! into the homestretch he was in the coveted hard ground, And how Martimas was flying! He already second place at the ter, two lengths in front of Rusher, who v a length in front of Mr. Clay, who was in a bunch with Dr. Eichberg, Sir Hubert and His Lordship. Now the last furiong pole was reached and little Maher saw Martimas rush by on the firm, hard footing against the rall, while the tired filly under him was stopping in the deep dust and Autumn, Mr. Clay and Dr. Eichberg, with Sloan on the latter, finishing in his best style, were trying to wrest the second place away from him. For an instant Au- tumn had his nose In front of the filly, and then stopped as if he had been shot and finished away back. Then Maher worked harder than ever, and although he could not catch the Canadian in front, who won easily by a couple of lengths, he could and did get the second money by a half-length. .here was a pretty struggle for third place between Willlams on Mr. Clay and Sloan on Dr. Eichberg and the former got it by & head. The remainder of the bunch were so close together at the end of the race that it was impos- sible to separate the horses. The boys who caused the delay at the start were fined $200 apiece and Sloan, Ciawson, Penn and Murphy were sus- pended for a week.

I, Aug. 23.—Malcomb Whitman of Brookline, Mass., won the national lawn tennis champlonship here to-day by defeating Dwight Da- vis of St. Louis in a briliant match, in which the victor displayed remarkable | steadiness, while his opponent's play | weakened after the first set. Thousands witnessed the match. Both players started in at a very fast clip, Whitman having a little the bet- ter of It at the first, taking the first three games and allowing his opponent only four points. Dr-- took the next three, however, leaving his opponent at thirty in each. He also took the sev- enth, after deuce had been called twice, | and the eighth, a love game. Deuce was called in the ninth, but Davis took it |and the set, 6—3. He had taken six straight by wonderfully fast work. The second set started out as fast as the first.

RESCUES THREE LITTLE ONES BABE NEARLY ROASTED ALIVE BY THE FLAMES. Heroism of a Tuolumne Miner’s ‘Wife, Who in Throes of Death - Thinks Only of Her Offspring. Special Dispetch to The Call. STOCKTON, Aug. 23.—The story of a woman’s terrible death by fire and the probably fatal burning of her six- | months-old babe was brought to this | city to-day by the Rev. F. A. Morrow, pastor of the Methodist Church at Farmington, where the funeral of the unfortunate wife and mother took place yesterday. The victim of the flames was Mrs. C. E. Malkemaus, the young wife of a man employed In the mines of Tuolum- ne County. With her three children, ranging in age from six months to five or six years, she resided in a cottage three miles from the town of Jackson- ville and about thirty miles east of | Farmington. Last Saturday evening at | about «.sk Mrs. Malkemaus prepared | to wash the children and set a lamp | near a tub of water in the house. She | stepped out woors for a minute and on returning found that the little ones had | overturned the lamp, from which the blazing oil had spread over the floor. With a scream of terror the young mother seiz:d one of the children and ran with it to the open air. Dashing back into the house she found that the flames had caught in the clothing of her baby and of the eldest child, a boy of five or six years. She tried to ex- tinguish the blaze with a blanket, but | in spreading it over the children she | fanned the now fierce fire against her own clothing, which blazed up in an in- stant, completely enveloping the poor woman. Though burning to death, she picked up the baby, and, hugging it to her| breast, ran shrieking from the house. In the meantime & man who was at work in the vicinity of the place has- | tened to the cottage, attracted by the screams. As he reached the woman her clothing dropped from her body. Her arms sank helpless to her side and her little child, with clothing all ablaze, fell to the ground. The mother's last thought was for her offspring, and as she sank down she cried out: | ‘Don’t help me, but get my boy.” The fire within the dwelling was | making fast headway, but the rescuer | ‘daned into the house and took the boy | out. The little fellow was burned on | | the left side of the face, the burns in- cluding his ear and nose. Mrs. Malkemaus was literally roast- | ed, the flesh being terribly burned over | almost her entire body, but life lin-| gered until morning, when she died. | The babe was also frightfully burned, | | most of the body being roasted by the flames, and it is thought the injuries will be fatal. The house was complete- | ly destroyed and had it not been for | the last words ef the unfortunate | mother as she fell to the ground, where | ghe lay unconscious, the little boy | would have been burned to death in the | dwelling. Mrs. Malkemaus was only 21 years of age. The remains were taken to Farming- ton, and a telegram was sent to Rev. Mr. Morrow, who was at Pacific Grove, asking him to return and hold the fu- neral services yesterday. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen at that place. INQUIRY INTO INCENDIARISM. Fails to Fix the Crime but Uncovers a Romance. STOCKTON, Aug. 23.—Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Hassel were examined by the District Attorney yesterday in an attempt to get at the facts concerning the cause of the fire which broke out in thelr home on Saturday night. The wife charges the husband with being the incendlary, and he makes counter-charges. An investiga- tlon of side facts shows that the woman, | who is young and handsome, has her name In the Biue Book of England as a Countess. Hassel is a ‘“‘remittance man,” and comes from a titled family. The | couple met on an ocean steamer, married | in haste, and are now repenting at leis- | ure. The; attempted to keep up style here, but thef Rrse was too .-Fender. and they fell out. The wife says he tried to burn the house in revenge, while he say she wants to throw the' crime on h shoulders to get rid of him. As col roborative evidence was lacking, no war- rant was Issued. General sympathy s with the woman, and few believe that she {‘h‘d t;‘mymlng to do with the starting of e fire. ————— CAVING TUNNEL VICTIMS. Deathroll of the Panhandle Railroad X Disaster.
