His An- drisa burned the track up In the opening event, Vesuvian annexed the handicap and later Asian, from the same stable, purloined a purse that right- fully belonged to Mortgage. All three horses were ridden by Mounece, who di- vided the saddle honors with *“Monk" Coburn because of the track not having been har- rowed up. Instead it was dry and sogay in spots, unsafe and unsatisfactory to race over. The fields were not heavy and favorites captured four of the six events. The performance of Autumn, favorite the introductory overture, grated rshly on the nerves of those who had their checks down on the Hildreth try. For six furlongs the brown horse refused to try. Then he made a bluff at it, finishing third. Andrisa gallopad in, over half a dozen lengths before Specific. There was a demand for only one of the seven starters in the six furlong aprint following. Mocorito attracted all play and the result never looked in doubt. Our Lizzie acted her part well ana i{n some othes plece will score a hit.

Abbott’s Arrest. Mrs. Lilllan Kendall-Jones, the artist, | secured a warrant from Judge Mogan yes- | terday for the arrest of H. O. Abbott on the charge of misdemennor. She alleges that Abbott called at her rooms at 1812 Market street, representing that he was the agent for the Gray Lithographing Company, New York, and he would like to have some of her drawings of Califor- nia popples to use on Christmas cards. He got drawings valued at $20 last Janu- ary, and since then has refused to return them, and on the company in New York belng applied 4o they wrote that they did not know Abbbtt. F. A. Aldrich was held to answer before the Superfor Court by Judge Mogan terday on two charges of burglary in bonds on each charge. He stole a num ber of carpenters’ tools from new buil Ings at California and Montgomery streets and at 24 Turk street. M. Lenack, the man who threatened to kill Policemen Herring and Dougherty in Chinatown Wednesday and when arrested and searched had a slungshot, dirk knife and revolver in his pockets, appeared be- fore Judge Fritz yesterday. e told the Judge that he worked for a tallor and some of the boys in the shop had put the slungshot in his pocket; the knife he had used for skinning sheep, and he was go- ing to sell the revolver, The Judge or- ‘dered him sent before the Insanity Com- missioners. MERRITT REFUSED A WARRANT FOR PERIURY | He Will Lay the Whole Matter Before the Grand Jury for Investi- gation. Warrant Clerk Peery again refused yes- terday to issue a warrant on complaint of Charles W. Merritt, 1812 York street, for the arrest of Contractor George W. Me- Ginn on a charge of perjury, as detailed in yesterday’s Call. Peery gave his re- fusal after hearing both sides of the di pute, and as a reason for his refusal sal “I refused the warrant because I deem it as much my duty to protect innocent people from arrest as it is to cause the guilty to be arrested. The facts as they appear to me are that Mr. Merritt is not at all damaged, Flinn & Treacy, the con- tractors refusing to make any clalm against him for the work, and that Mc- Ginn 1s entirely free from any ecriminal motive whatever in what he did in the premises. Under these circumstances cannot but think that Merritt desires the warrant for other than a desire to pro- mote public justice. Merritt wiil at once lay the whole mat- ter before the Grand Jury.

The last named was | peremptorily challenged by the prosecu- tion and the others were excused for cause. Most of them had formed a defi- nite opinfon as to the gulilt of the defend- ant_and others did not believe in con- victing a man charged with a capital of- fense on circumstantial evidence alone. Seventy-six talesmen have now been ex- amined, and out of the number only three have been accepted. Filve have been per- emptorily challenged, two by the prosecu- tion and three by the defense. ~As the venire was exhausted the Judge ordered another venire of 100 to be issued, return- able this morning, and court was ad- Journed. Hoff's {hterest in the examination of the talesmen was more intensifled yesterday. He watched every question and answer closely, and several times prompted his attorneys to ask certain questions. A nervous clasping and unclasping of his hands was the only slgn that he was at all excited. ———— RAILROAD MEN ACCEPT COMPANY’S PROPOSAL Conference Between Fillmore and Trainmen Ends Satisfactorily to Both Sides. The conference between Manager Fill- more and the raflroad men was practical- ly ended yesterday, although there will be a final 'Entherlnx of the delegates and grand officers this morning. The company presented a final proposition to the men yesterday and after an executive session which lasted three hours it was agreed to accept the terms of the new schedule. The_ schedule will go into effect De- cember. Grand R Master Clark sald last evening that everything had been amicably set- tled and he was well satisfied with what bhad been accomplished. “It has been a case of glve and take,” he said, “and as a whole 1 think the new schedule will prove satisfactory.” In regard to the yardmen, many of the switchmen who protested because they were not given representation at the con- ference ve llne:n;{md to abide by any schedule that it be drawn up by the two railroad assoclations, so what- ever objection is now offered will come from only a few disgruntled ones. An effort will be made to conclliate them and the friction will probably soon wear away. Church Benefit Is a Success.
