RACING.
Probable Fatal Result.

Some days ago we called attention to the fact
that the Mayor had issued orders for the arrest
of all drivers OF our steam fire engines found
driving at an immoderate gait. Had these
orders been carried out faithfully, we should not
have been called on to record the following ac-
cident from racing which will probably end
fatally
AS the Vigilant and United States steam en-
gines were running up Eighth street to the fire
last evening, the United States engine which
was ahead when near Parrish turned off the
track to the left and the Vigilant to the right.
The Vigilant struck the hind wheels of the
United States, receiving heavy jar, which
threw the driver Hugh Dougherty, who resides
at No. 327 Dilwyn street, from his seat. The
steamer then ran into a hack which was stand
ing in front of a private residence. The hack
was badly smashed up, and Robert Lloyd, the
driver, seriously I'M ured by being thrown from
his seat to the ground.
Dougherty was taken to the Pennsylvania
Hospital, where he now lies in a critical condi-
ton 1t is supposed that the United States
must have passed over him, as his head is badly
bruised, both legs fractured, and the cap of one
knee destroyed. This morning George Baker,
the driver of the United States, was arrested
and committed to prison by Alderman Toland
10 await the result of Dougherty's injuries.

Important Revenue Decision.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, July THE Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, in reply to an inquiry ad-
dressed to his Office respecting the liabilities of
wine manufacturers from grapes, berries, or
fruits of their own growth, renders the following
decision-
Manufacturers of wine from grapes berries,
or fruits of their own growth are not liable to
special tax as manufacturers or liquor dealers
for selling such wine at the place where the
same is made. Where such wines are sold, how
ever, at any other than the place of manufac-
ture, liability to payment of tax as liquor dealers
is incurred; and where wines are manufactured
from grapes, berries, or fruits not of their own
growth, they should pay special tax as manu-
facturers and as liquor dealers for selling their
products, whether selling the same at the place
of manufacture or otherwise. This ruling re-
verses the decisions of former Commissioners.

Tho Spanish Complication.
PARIS, July THE authorities have been
assured that fully three-fourths OF the members
of the Spanish Cortes are favorable to the ele-
walton of Hozenzollern to the Spanish throne.
There seems to be no doubt that the King of
Prussia is also favorable to the project, and re-
fuses any explanation in reply to the notes from
the French Government. Dispatches from
Madrid announce that at Council of Ministers
held yesterday, the course Prim had taken was
unanimously approved of and the candidacy of
Prince Hohenzollern accepted. They author
lied the Minister of Foreign Affairs to present
the name of the new candidate to the Cortes,
which will probably be convened expressly for
that purpose.
The Council of Ministers hope that the Prince
will receive more than 40 votes the minimum
required by the resolution passed by the Cortes
on the Sd of June
The Prince is expected to arrive at Madrid
early in November. The Spanish fleet will be
despatched to bring him.
The Gaulois Independent organ) has the fol-
lowing in its issue this morning:-"General
Prim, in reply to the despatch of Senior Olozaga,
Spanish Ambassador in this city, asserts that he
acted with the consent of Regent Serrano un-
officially and outside of diplomacy. Finding a
difficulty in obtaining candidate for the Spa
pish throne, he addressed the Prince of Hohen-
zollern, who unites many desirable qualities,
but whose personal importance was thought in
sufficient to give umbrage to France. As such
an emotion has been created, General Prim re-
treats, and assures the French Government of
the sincerity of his intentions"
The GauIois adds-"This question is settled
so far as Spain is concerned. 1t remains to be
seen what Prussia will do after the scene in the
French chambers yesterday, and the unequivo-
cal declarations of the Duke of Grammont."

THE PHILADELPHIA AND ERIE LEASE
The Meeting of the Railroad Committee This
Afternoon,


Afternoon.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon o meeting of the
Committee on Railroads of Councils was held
to consider the proposition to modify the lease
held on the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The mer-
camille community had been invited to be pre-
sent and give an expression of their views upon
the subject but at the hour named but few per-
sons outside of the committee had arrived The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was repre-
sented by Colonel Thomas A. Scott and Edmund
Smith, and j. Alexander Simpson and James d.
Whetham, two of the city directors were pre-
sent.
Mr.. Franciscus, chairman of the committee,
stated that the document which had been
referred to the committee showed that the city
directors knew of this important matter on
February IA, 1869, and yet they had not called
the attention of Councils to the subject until
June so, but one week prior to the adjournment
for the summer vacation.
j. Alexander Simpson, one of the city difee-
tors, explained that, although the.stockholders
of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad knew of
this modification on February ID, the directors
knew nothing of it until the Saturday prior to
June 80.
Colonel Scott explained at length that the
change which was proposed to be made in the
lease was to pay all of the net earnings to the
Philadelphia and Erie instead of 80 per cent Of
the receipts as at present. This he conceived
to be necessity for the development of that
part of the State.
G. D1nvilliers, stockholder of the Philadel-
phia and Erie, opposed the modification.
No action had been taken when our report
was concluded.

Troops in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba are
acting altogether on the defensive. Colonel
Balmes, who is in command of Santiago de Cuba
made demand for reinforcements, but is unable
to get any.
Various reports represent positively that the
Spanish troops had been defeated in several en-
gagements recently with the insurgent leaders,
Diaz and Gomez.
The situation of the Spaniards in the Eastern
Department is unfavorable The planters are
holding meetings, and nearly all of them refuse
to obey the emancipation laws and will resist
freeing their slaves. Large amounts of money
have been raised to send to Spain in order to
avoid the execution of the law, and to secure its
repeal.

The woman Ann Hays, who was living in the

LONDON, Jnly There is much excitement
n OF only here, but on the Continent, in view of
the threatened European complication on the
subject of Prince Leopold's candidature for the
Spanish throne. Dispatches from Paris say
there is a strong feeling in France even outside
of official circles against the bestowal of the
Spanish crown on any Hohenzollern. The
tranquilizing assurances of the French Emperor
have exerted beneficial effect in Paris, particu-
larly on the Bourse.
