WILL THE PROOF BE FORTHCOMING ?
A Demand Not Likely TO be Noticed.

The Greeley organ of this city published for
two days document purporting to be an agree
ment signed by several gentlemen of this city
reciting to Messrs. Gossett and Gibbs pre-
tended agreement by which Mr., Gibbs with
drew from the race of 1870.
On Thursday morning we made q demand
upon them for proof of the genuineneSs Of the
document Will it be forthcoming this morning ?
We know it will not We predict these gen.
tlemen will crawfsh. We again demand proof
of the document. They can not prove it.
We have seen the gentlemen whose names
are attached to that paper, and they, one and
all, most positively say they have no recollec-
ton of ever signing any such paper, They
never authorized it signed and do not believe
any such writing was ever prepared. They de-
mand the proof Will it be forthcoming? Mark
that all their talk thus far is about copies
Where is the original? The Greeley organ has
no original and can not prove one ever existed.
They have either been imposed upon or are
parties to the fraud. We predict the organ will
have very little to say this morning and would
like to drop the matter as fast as possible.

DIRECTORS IN COUNCIL!
Important ActlOni

MR.. EDITOR: The Board of Directors OF
the Eastern Division Fair met last night at See
retaryS othce and took action on the important
subject of Selling Season Tickets at our pext
Fair and of distributing thirty-thre and one
third per cent of the sale of season tickets. COL
John Williams offered the following resolu-
ton:
ReSoLred, That it is the unanimous sense of this
Board that we adopt the principle of selling
season tickets at our next annual Fair and that
the price of said tickets shall be Three Dollars
each that thirty-three and one-third per cent.
of the amount received from the sale of said
tickets shall be distributed among the purchas-
ers of said tickets.
On motion of G. w. Charlton, it was resolv-
ed that the Board of Directors be, and
are hereby, authorized to inaugurate
and to prosecute the scheme adopted
by the Board with regard to season
tickets and the distribution of thirty
three and one-third per cent. of the sale OF
season tickets.
On motion of John Williams it was resolved
that the President Secretary and Treasurer De
authorized to appoint Board of Managers and
that that Board shall consist of five members.
Thus the agony is over, and thus ends, IN my
judgment, the most important action ever taken
by the officers of the Eastern Division Fair. 1t
will completely relieve the Association of all in
debtedness and start it forward upon Its grand
and glorious mission. In few days the whole
scheme will be made known to the public and
prompt measures instituted to make 1t sue

MASONIC.
Proc essiOn, Installation, Festival, etc.

Pursuant to previous announcement, the
coored Masonic Fraternity in Knoxville Joined
in Fourth of July celebration, which was in
every way creditable to those concerned. AT 2
o'clock, P. NJ, Meridian Star Lodge, No. 4,
formed in procession on Gay street, from their
Lodge Room Immediately south of the Lamar
House, under the direction of G. w. LeVere,
NJ. w. G. NJ, of the State of Tennessee, assist
ed by Theodore Minor as Marshal The Knox
Vile Brass Band (col.) furnished the music for
the occasion. The line of march was down Gay
street to Maine, thence to Crooked, thence to
Clinch, Prince, Asylum and back to Gay and
back to the Lodge Room.
At % p NJ. the Lodge again assembled and
marched to Hoxsie's Hall, the officers we have
heretofore given, were installed in the presence
of large aud attentive audience. After the
installation ceremonies, a magnificent supper
was next in order. 1t was equal to anything CT
the kind ever presented to the longing appetites
of Knoxville audience. We have heard but
one expression, and that was that it was a
splendid affair, and highly credtable to the col
ored Masonic fraternity. This is just what we
might expect from DR.. Levere and his worthy
associates

Seriously Injured.

On yesterday afternoon, about two O clock, a
number Of railroad hands were at work clear
ing away the wreck of the smash-up, an account
Of which is given elsewhere, and while using
some large beams as levers, in prizing up car,
one Of them gave way and in falling struck a
colored man by the name Of Lee Dodson on the
back of the head, neck and shoulders, telling
him to the ground and rendering him senseless,
in which condition he remained about an hour
and half. He was Immediately removed to a
car, and such restoratives as were available ap-
piled and in the evening was brought to Knox
vile, when Dr.. Boyd was called in by the rail-
road company to attend to his wounds
The Doctor found him to be in critical con-
dition, his scull being fractured some, how
much it is impossible to ascertain just at pres
enti also, the spinal cord is injured to a great
extent, parayzing him almost totally on his left
side, and to some extent his right He hopes
however, that the spinal cord is not injured as
much as appears from present indications, but
should it be so, then his case is a hopeless one
and he will l.doubtless lay in this paralyzed con-
dition until death relieves him of his sufferings
which may last from two days to two weeks
The injured man is young man and unmar-
ried, and was regular employe of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Com
pany, who are doing everything to make him
as comfortable as his condition will admit

Tn Speaking Of the race an account says
TIE FINAL STRUGGLE.


Around they went, yoked together, the
same stride. the same speed apparently.
This delighted the straining assemblage,
who again and again yelled forth their
Joy. There was no break in the applause
now. 1t rose higher and fell lower now
and again, as some new phase Of the race
was presented or disappeared, but it never
ceased The crowd was rapidly becoming
frantic. " FfH#hE#
Bassett held his own until they reached
the first quarter on the last mile. Then
he began to fall behind. He was a length
there, and six lengths at the half mile.
doubled himself up and appeared as if
kicking. Before he recovered Longfellow
was twenty lengths ahead
The spectators were now mad. The yell
ling was indescribable. They jumped into
the quarter stretch at the imminent risk of
being run down. Longfellow continued
to improve his advantage, coming in an
easy winner in an easy canter. Bassett's
jockey whipped him under the string.
The cheering over the result lasted
without interruption until long after both
horses had been taken to their stables.
One man enthusiastically embraced the
little colored jockey, and soon a purse was
made up for him.
Harper who was slowly toddling down the
quarter stretch his ancient visage wreath
ed in smiles. Even ladies ran forward to
shake his hand and congratulate him.
Leonard Jerome, who had been backing
Bassett very heavily, said to him:
"Well, Uncle John, they can't say any
thing to you this year, can they?"
g I guess not" drawled out the veteran.
AFTER THE RACE.
A more thoroughly beaten horse than
Harry Bassett we have seldom seen. He
looked the very picture of distress, with
distended nostrils. heaving tianks, and
great gouts of blood on his sides where the
spurs had pricked him. Jimmy Roe, his
jockey, said nothing, but his face showed
only too plainly how deep was his morti-
fication at having been beaten on his fa-
vorite for the first time. On Colonel Nc
Daniels, too, the blow fell heavily, and
tears actually stood in the old mans eyes as
he gaveinstructions to the boys who were
attending to Harry Bassett. 1t was GER
tainly a crushing defeat, and it fell more
heavily from the fact Of its having been so
unexpected
Longfellow on the other hand, looked
like a conqueror. With ears pricked and
head erect he walked back to the judges
stand, seemingly none the worse for his
race. He sweated but very little-a GER
tain indication that he was in fine condi-
ton. Sample, the boy who rode him, was
the picture of happiness, and he received
no small amount of pecuniary reward for
biC skill

SUNSTROKES IN NEW YORK.
One Hundred and Fifty one Cases on Tues
.gr.r.sr day. .rHF. t.r

.gF-r.t- ... day. .rrf. t.r
From our dispatches it will be seen the
terrible heat in New York continues. In
four days S45 cases of sunstroke took place.
In the Herald of the Sd we find the fol-
lowing. The thermometer rose to go in
the shade yesterday afternoon and was re-
ported over 1902 in Brooklyn:
There can be no doubt at all but that
some action should be taken, if such
weather as we have had for several DAYS
past is to continue, whereby our humble
people, aud indeed the working classes
generally. should not be expected or per-
mitted to expose their lives to the terrible
strokes of the suns rays. The record of
the sunstrokes for several days past and OF
the deaths which resulted ought to be suf-
ficent to suggest that it is little short of
murder to allow men or women to expose
themselves to an excessive heat, the effects
of which SO seriously concern human life
itself. 1t was really a most pitiable specta-
Gle to travel along the docks at the lower
end of the city during the day, and away
up town, on the east and west sides of the
city, where Improvements are being made,
in the narrow business streets down town
and on the crowded docks it was, as has been
said, pitiable to see the workmen swelter-
ing under the sun, the heavy globules of
sweat falling from their faces, their shirts
and pants saturated with the same, and
every motion of the poor fellows bodies
showing the excessive exhaustion from
which they were suffering. Monday night
was terrible, the light breeze of the day
dying out as the night advanced. People
sought sleep in vain, and many were seen
sitting on doorsteps until morning. House
tops were favorite retreat.
The ice companies have advanced their
wholesale prices from 20 to so cents per
hundred weight, and their retail rates from
40 to so cents. Butchers have difficulty in
preserving their meat from taint, and 9TH
er branches of the household provision trade
experience similar annoyances.

Trial of Fire Engines.

On the evening of the memorable Fourth,
about o'clock, two of our city fire companies
concluded to put to test the superiority of their
respective engines. The contesting companies
were the Niagara No. 3 (col.) and the Reliance
No. 4, (white)and the place of contest was at the
corner of Gay and Cumberland streets Both
companies did we'll and the contest was a pretty
close one for four succeeding trials, but the gen.

present was in favor of the Reliance.
