Of all this action on the part of Ed
ridge and the Commissioner Horton was
ignorant, as was also Commissioner
Evans. AS Horton was reappointed,
careful examination of the flies of the
revenue bureau shows there was 10 official
report whatever made up in which the
letter of April 9Th, 1881, could be based,
and it is admitted By the only person who
should have custody of such official report,
that Commissioner Raum's action was
based solely upon the verbal statements of

Charged with Poisoning.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 2O.-Mrs. Emma
Fischer was arrested last night charged
with poisoning her husband, Adam
Fischer, who died suddenly at his home
north of this city, on Saturday, Septem-
ber Sth. The family claimed that his
death resulted from heart disease, but
the post mortem examination developed
different cause, an analysis of
the contents of the stomach showing
the presence Of strychnine. Suspicion
was directed against MIS-. Fischer because
of the quarrels between herself and hus
band and her alleged infatuation with
Henry Kaiser, former employe of
Fischer's. Kaiser surrendered himself
this morning and he and the woman are
held without bail for the 26th, when a
preliminary examination will take place.

was called and MoNamara drove up with
Mamie, bets changed quickly to her for
second place, which she got and would
have had in the two previous heats had

crowd attended IS did to-day. At least
5000 persons were on the grounds. One
thing cure, there never was such crowd
of colored people on the grounds.
There were but two CASES Of genuine
drunkenness on the grounds. The most
cowardly act of the day was committed by
a half.witted, half drunken rough from
Wilmington. A good natured and quiet
Middletown negro was at - OF the
pumps just back of the s..ld stand

when this Wilmingtonian came up and
with profane ana indecent exclamation
struck the negro over the head with an
empty flask, cutting a severe CASH over
the left eye.
The racing to-day was made short work

reached. The first race WAS free for all
horses owned on the Peninsula that had
no better record than three minutes;

entries in this, though five started, with
Jumbo as pole horse. He however, was
soon cut out of this position by Delaware

Mac close upon them. In this position
they tretted the entire heat, distancipg
three others. In fact bets were stakei

and closely contested, each horse holding
his own as the following score shows:
