Ore Dead Bar-Keeper.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 13.-Thomas Elder,
keeper of a saloon on the Shelbyville pike
fourteen miles from the city, was shot dead
Saturday night by some one unknown. Elder
was behind the bar at the time waiting on
customer when the assassin rode up to the
door and fired two shots. During the recent
political canvass Elder had trouble with some
of his neighbors, and it is thought his death
was part of that quarrel. He leaves wife
and two children.

an employe in the Pullman works, went into
Chicago Saturday night on business, leaving
his two little girls, seven and nine years old,

night. On returning home this morning he
discovered that the children had blown out
the gas and were smothered to death.

Seated under Col. William Edwards hospita.
BILE roof.tree the evening of the day of the
great race between Clingstone and Edwin
Thorne, at Cleveland, the conversation among
the guests turned upon the merits of Mr..
Gordon's great trotter, and especially upon a
comparison between him and Trinket, whose
owner, Mr.. John w. Shaw, was present.
Finally the latter gentleman, in the heat of
discussion, announced that he would match
Trinket against Clingstone, the race to be
trotted over the Hartford track, for $25, 900 a
side, or would make the race for horse against
horse, or would make the race for $25, 900 a
side, the winner to take both horses. This
much has been heretofore published of what
transpired att Col. Edwards residence on the
evening in question. 1t remains to be said

State Fair RnceS.

Owners OF horses are interested in the fact
that the state fair management have made
some changes IL their programme of racing

We cannot accept these ten horses as thor
oughbred for the following reasons: We
really don't know what American Star was
the sire of Seely's American Star, and then
under the most favorable showing, his dam
had only two crosses. There has always been
degree OF uncertainty about the real origin
most liberal views OF his pedigree. we find
that his second dam was by half bred horse
and there the pedigree ends. Clear Girt was
certainly by imp. Lapidist and just as certain
~ his dam was trotting mare OF unknown
lineage. Jack Hawkins, Jr., and jim Haw-
kins were, no doubt, by the running horse
Jack Hawkins, but we have no trace OF the
dam of either of them. We have always had
doubts about the pedigree of May Day, but
If we give it In its most extended form,
his dam had but two crosses
and one OF them not thoroughbred. Monarch
was by imported Monarch, and out of Mes
senger Kate, whose pedrigree has not been
traced. Richmond A. w. was by Simpsons
Biackbird, and out OF mare of unknown
breeding. She was bred near Cleveland, and
it was said at one time that she was by ga
thoroughbred horse called RATHER" and her
dam by an Arabian. When pressed for this
Thoroughbred" Rather, Mr.. Simpson
seems to have dropped the name and identity
Of the horse, and, as easier to maintain. sim
ply says, ga thoroughbred horse at Cleve-
lands dam an Opelousas mare" The truth is
that nobody knows anything about the blood
Of the mare. Tom Rolf was probably by
Pugh's Aratus and was certainly cut of the
famous old PAGER Pocahontas. He was far
from being thoroughbred. Waxy was by
Berthune, and probably his dam was by
Stormy Petrol about whose pedigree we have
had very little information. Beyond this we
know nothing of his ancestry.

Wattace's american TrOtttnD Register,
Vol. ~.

The appearance of the fourth volume of this
great national work will be hsiled with pleas
IRE and used with profit by all the intelligent
trottiDg horse breeders and fancicrs in the
country. IL is embraced in about 500 large
octave pages, printed on fine paper and bound
in uniform style with the preceding volumes.
1t contains about $500 pedigrees, and the
most elaborate tables OF performances that
have ever been published. The matter has
been compressed into as small space as good
taste will admit in order to bring the cost of
the book within the reach OF all. The price
of this volume is five dollars and postage,
twenty five cents.
This work is now published under the SUI.
pervsion of the National Association of Tret-
ting Horse Breeders, and this is the first volume
in which the standard OF admission, rs adopted
by that association, is introduced. The
standard rests upon the blood of the actual
performers, on both sides of the lines of
descent. There is also non-standard depart
ment for the preservation of the breeding of
valuable progenitors and others not technically
standard.
There is a new feature, in this volume,
which cannot be too highly commended
Every standard stallion has his number, and
this number becomes part of his designation,
When there are half dozen stations of the
same name, the number will fully identify the
one intended and that without any further ex-
PLANTATION. But, there is another feature in
this numbering system that is of still greater
practical value. 1t will prove very effective
barrier against misrepresentation and frauds
When man says his horse is standard and
registered, as many do every day of the year,
he must be able to give his number or stand
convicted OF Misrepresentation, on the spot.
Mr. Wallace has devoted about twenty five
years of his life to the investigation OF the
horse history Of the country, and after he had
completed the thoroughbreds, to which
there were many helps, more or less reliable,
he took up the trotters, and out of nothing,
practically, he has constructed the four great
volumes of the TrOttiDg Register, fitting
monument TO his untiring industry and
zeal,

that the host himself, being an enthusiastic
CliDgstonian, did then and there, as we learn
from excellent authority, accept the $25, O0e
proposition on the condition that Mr..
Gordon, who will not match his own
horses, would allow him the use of Clingstone
for the purpose; that the consent of Mr..
Gordon was subsequently obtained by Col.
Edwards, and he has written to Mr.. Shaw,
confirming and making absolute his condi-
tonal acceptance of the def. A race of this
character, for such an amount of money, be-
tween ClingstoDe and Tripket, would cause a
sensation greater than has ever been produced
by tr0tting race, and although Trinket was
barred this season from classes to which
Clingstone was admitted, we are not at all
sure that the advantage would be on the side
of the mare. The record of the selding is
now identical with hers. Many believe that
2:14 by no means measures his speed, and he
has been having race week, while Trinket
has received nothing but light work this sea-
son. They are entitled to meet one another
on equal terms, if eyer two horses were, and as
the challenge has been made and accepted be-
tween such gentlemen as the owner of Trinket
and Col. Edwards, the greatest trotting race
OF all time should result.

Jeremiah Harrigan.

Next Friday is the day fixed for the ex-
ecution at New Castle Of Jeremiah Harri-
gan, for the murder Of Dennis Shea.
Great efforts have been made by friends
of the doomed man to get him a respite.
On Monday, Squire Jackson, of Hook essin,
and ex-Sheriff Richardson held confer
ence with Governor Hall at the National
Hotel, Middletown, and urged respite of
a Few months. They pleaded for it on the
ground that Harrigan needed more time
in which to settle up his affairs and pro-
vide for his children. A petition of three
hundred signatures urging the Governor
to grant the respite was presented. The
Governor reserved his dicision, saying
that he wanted TO act carefully and ascer-
tain all the facts i'll the case. If not res
pited, Harrigan will be hanged in the Jail
yard during the forenoon of Friday. The
number of witnesses to the execution is
not to exceed thirty, including jury, coro,
ner and physicians. The jury has been
summoned. Applications for passes,
Sheriff Clark says, are numerous. II
seems strange that so many men should
have morbid curiosity to see a fellow
man ehoked to death.

Duties of Tax COLLECTORS.


In the Levy Court on Tuesday morning
the following resolution, offered by Col
Febiger, was adopted:
ResolUed, That the opinion of the at
torney Of the Levy Court be. asked in
writing on the following questions, as
points Of law for the instruction of mem
! bers:
First. Does not section 10, page SS OF
the Revised Code, chapter II of collectors,
require that the collector shall return all
deLinquentS?
Second. Must not the collector, under
/ section l, chapter 372, volume IA, Laws OF
| Delaware, page 90 in the Revised Code,
return as delinquents the names of all
men who have not actually paid him their
tax? Can the collector, in other words,
carry the name of men on his duplicate as
having paid their tax, when no tax has
| actually been paid after due notice has
been given as required by the above sec
ton?
Third. Have not the Levy Court or its
| committees the authority to inquire of the
collectors, whilst the duplicate is in their
possession, for the allowance for errors
and delinquents if the parties thereon
have paid their tax?
At the afternoon session of the Court
the opinion Of the Attorney General on
the questions submitted was read by the
clerk. 1t was as follows:
First. would say that the section re-
ferred to obviously requires the collector
to return a statement of all delinquents
for 1yhOSe tdEeS he claims allowance, and
none others.
Second. Undoubtedly the collector can
retain or, strictly speaking, the law re-
tains the names of taXables in his dupli-
cate if he does not return them as delin-
quents, thereby making himself chargea-
bic with the rates.
Third. do not think the Levy Court
or its committees have anything to do
with the collectors duplicate, except for
the purpose of allowing Cor disallowing
in the case Of a real estate taX) the delin-
quencies claimed by said collector, and it
is not their province to inquire if persons
on said duplicates have or have not paid
their tax if their names are not on the de-
linquent list, returned by such collector
for allowance.
