REV. p. III. A. BRAXToN, Il colorcd preacher
of Baltimore, has been on trial for forging
an order for half gallon of whisky.
THE LATEST remark attributed to Sena-
tor Conkling is that the question of his re-
election will soon be decided, because the
developments which are to come in the
bribery case will either cause the Half
breeds to vote for the "Stalwarts' or seek
an adjournment.

During the past six years this has been I'M

was that in either case he was complete
and unmtigatcd ass, idiot and outcast.
AN ANTI-PooL-sELLING bill has been de-

The AIbauy Investigation.

Mr.. Bradley's examination continued be-
fore the Albany investigating committee
yesterday. Upon his redirect examination,
Mr.. Bradley said that since his nine months
residence in the Binghampton Incbriatc
Asylum in 1872 he had been strict temper
ancc man, and did not even use sauces ut the
table which contained brandy or wine. He
further said that Senator Sessions told him
on the night of June s that, in the event of
Dcpcw's election as Senator, he bradley
would get 81 600 in addition to the $1,000
cash in hand.
Before closing, Mr.. Banks, of counsel for
the committee said to Mr.. Bradley: IF
you know anything duplicating anybody
besides Senator Scssions-nO matter how
high his rank may be or how low, no matter
whom he has voted for or proposes to vote
for, who has made you or anybody else any
corrupt propositions-,iust name the person
and circumstances here"
"Mr. Bradley replied: Il do not know
anybody, with perhaps the exception of Mr.,
YOungs."
This concluded the examination of Mr..
Bradley and the committee adjourned to 3
p. IN.
When the committee met in the after
noon Mr. Sessions took the stand for cross
examination. Witness testified to an cX-
tended service in politics before becoming
/ State Senator, and that he had been engaged
in the business of arguing for or against pro-
posed legislation with members of the Lcgis-
laturc, or, rs he suggested to his cross-cX-
amincr, perhaps what you would call a
lobbyist" having advocated such measures
he received pay for. This turned the ex-
animation rs to particular measures in the
behalf of which he had acted, and who his
employers had been, and Mr. Sessions gave

The Chicago Stove Works. located Mt the
corner of Blue Island avenue and Paulina

tragedy Yesterday ON wholesale scale such
rs even the Molly AIagurcs in their palmicst
days never attempted. The calamity was
avcrtcd by the mcrcst chance A mouldcr
and his helper happened to notice that the
clamps upon flask which they were about
to charge with molten iron were not fastened
as they were when the flask was closed
Thursday night and while attempting to
reclosc them properly was prompted to cX-
anime the condition of the mould within
the flask. First one thing and then another
excited their suspicion, and the final result
of their investigation was the finding of
about two pounds of gunpowdcr wrapped up
in newspaper, the corners of which were
pinned together, and which had been
placed in u hole scopcd out for
the purpose in the sand directly
beneath the flat surface of the mould
Joseph Lafleur, or Plat as he is called by

THE EVENING CRITIC.
The IIippodromc dc Lcngcbamps.
ESTABLISHED AUGUST, 1868.


The Hippodromc dc Longchamps, the
course over which FoxhalI won his famous
victory the other day, Is beautifully and
picturesqucly situated to the west of Paris,
on the outskirts of the Bots de Boulogne.
There are various ways of reaching thy
the steamers plying from the Pont de Ia Con-
cord on the winding waters of the Seine, by
the omnibuscs running to Neuiiiy and by
the railway to Surcsncs. The iavorite APP
proach, however, Is of course through the
Bois dc Boulognc along the beautiful Alice
de Longchamps At the termination of this
delightful drive one of the first things that
meets the eye Is the Cascade, so much favor
ed by strangers, Il rugged artificial mound,
forty feet in height and nearly two hun
dred wide. From this issues large current
of water, falling into rocky basin and fed
from an artificial lake at the top.
The surrounding scene Is one of surprising
beauty. Stately avenues extend in all di-
rections while divcrging paths lead to pleas
ant retreats among arbors, bowers and shrub
berry. Coming upon the Hippodrome one
sees at the back the meandcring Seine, and
beyond st. Cloud on one side, while ON the
other frowns Mount Nalcricn. The Hippo
dr0mc de LOngchamps contains 100 acres,
granted by the city to the Jockey Club OF
Paris for IA term of fifty years, the club in
return agreeing to devote the proceeds from
the letting of-placcs to augmcnting the
stakes of the government autumn races
The stands on the course command charm
ing view Of the Bots de Boulogne. There
are in all six stands-five for members Of the
Jockey Club and the people, and one nov
called the official tribune, the imperial stand
of the days Of Napoleon Ill, for whom il
was erected. This stand or pavilion is beau
tifully fitted up. During the second empire
it presented many Il gorgeous scene, for from
il scions of nearly every royal house il
Europe have gazed down upon the equine
contests
The starting stand is close to the track
which is of turf, like the English courses
The stand is very close to the track. and ont
man acts as judge and jury. The track II
about eighty feet wide between the fence
in front of the stands; but away from thu
front the course is marked out by the gras
being cut short and by signal posts at various
points. The length of the outer circle of TIN
course is about one mile and seven furlongs
The horses run to the left in France, keep
ing the field on the right-hand side, instea'
of having it on the lcft-hand side, as il
America. No betting is permitted in from
of the stands, the betting fraternity bcin;
provided with special quarters. The cours
derives its name from that of Il former abbey
destroyed in 1893, at the northern end o
the village Of Boulogne, which was ATTENDED
by the courtiers and liishionablcs of tn
eighteenth century.

is that Davis has had the office sufficiently
