The Earthquake.
On the night of July 2Sth an
earthquake visited the Island OF
lschia, near Naples, Italy. CASH
micciola and other towns were
largely or entirely destroyed The
Island was resorted to by the noble
and wealthy classes on account OF
its baths. Some five thousand
lives were lost on the island many
being buried alive. In addition to
those killed, hundreds were Grip
pied for life. A great many bodies
have been recovered from the
ruins; but at last the work has
been given up, and instead the
ruins are to be converted into a
vast grave. The bodies are to be
left in the ruins and great quanti-
ties of liquid lime poured over
them as disinfectant. Since this
earthquake two other shocks have
been felt and Mount Vesuvius on
the mainland is pouring out lava
which is flowing in the direction

An Assault Thursday Morning on the
Bridge-Two of the Thieves Captured by
a Policeman-Conc1uded to Stay.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 25, 1883.
To the Editor of the Globe.
This morning at $50 o'clock, while go
ing over the bride to the Sixth ward, was
accosted by two rufians, one of whom took
hold of my coat and aimed blows at my
head. By hard struggle I broke loose
from him and he failed of his intention to
disable me. Just as reached the upper
end of the bridge I met
man with a badly cut head and
bloody face, and saw policeman running
after the fellows who had made the as
sault. I hope he caught them. If these
events had occurred in England or Ger
many the offenders if caught would have
been sent to prison at hard labor for
terms of months or years; and it is clear
that such assaults upon peaceable citizens
are no less crimes than highway robbery.
Indeed, the robber usually avoids inf1icting
bodily injury; all he wants is money; but
the fellows who assaulted me meant -seri-.
GUS bodily injury if not murder. To-mor
row the one caught and held as prisoner
will probably be tried merely for disorder
ly conduct and will escape with fine
of five or ten dollars, and will be let loose
tc threaten and endanger the community.
This is wrong. If st. Paul continues to
follow the Chicago rule regarding the
thieves, robbers, bruisers and thugs of the
street, it will soon be recognized as Chi
oago No. 2, where no mau is adequately
protected against mayhem or murder. q

1 am 10th to enter into the contro-
versy between Mr.. O'Brien of Saltwater
and Spectator" and am unwilling to ad-
NIT that Mr.. O'Brien is anything else than
the perfect gentleman, I have always
found him. a
However, as person likely to be inti-
mately connected with the Minnesota turf
for the rest of my natural life, its reputa-
ton, its standing, and indeed its honor are
dear to nae, and look npon it as a duty

on finding that the trotting con-
tests at Saltwater were not so
conducted as to be ,aboYe reproach.
to call the attention of the public to a
transaction with the running horses that
was outrageous. l u.
1t is we'll known to all that upon the
American and foreign turf running horses
are required to carry weight according to-
their age and sex, except in handicap races
where some impartial, capable persons,
called the handicappers, imposes weights
on various horses, according to their repu-
tation, in the. endeavor to bring all on an
equal footing. transaction of very ques-
tionable expsdiency. - 4.,ss.-.s..

of a race horse is considerable. Both

tance or beat forty yards IN mile the
horse carrying the.extrs weight. A
Charles XII and Euclid having run
q dead heat, in aS great
race in England once. Euclid's subse-
quent defeat, by half head, was attrib-
uted to the accidental carrying of the
stable key by his jockey.
All running horsemen prepare to ride
at the weight the law requires them to
carry They know the legal weight of
every member of their string, and some
times, as in the case of the jockey OF Fleur
de Lis last summer, will suffer almost
everything to arrive at their horses proper
weight. Aware of this, the disgust of
visiting running horssmen can be i'm
sgined, when on coming to Saltwater they
find all the horses weighted alike, at the
ridiculous weight of one hundred pounds.
And doesn't it look, just the least little bit,
like collusion between the local horse Col
Rieely and the society, who knew tolerably
well what horses we're coming; and that
being mares, they were entitled to
carry five pounds less than this Saltwater
horse, thus being put at a disadvantage,
even if, as the association knew was highly
improbable, the visitors were able TO ride
as light as hundred pounds.
In the three-quarter mile dash, Col
Ricely should have carried 120 pounds,
Fleur de Lis 115; instead Col Ricely car
ried 1G0 pounds and Fleur de Lis 113. The
signal being given when Fleur de Lis was
about five lengths back, she had big gap
TO- close, but she didn't Although unable
TO win on account of the shortness OF the
distance, had the race been mile it would
have been otherwise, despite the weight
and send off.
A like ruling in weights on the next day
enabled fashy, speedy sort OF Fourth
OF July horse, "La Belle NJ" carrying 100
pounds, to just beat an honest, noble little
race mare like Centennial Maid, the jockey
having reduced so as to be able to ride at
Ill pounds. es-- +if
Saltwater is beginning to be regarded
by horsemen as good place to stay away
from. Last summer they allowed fine
field of runners the privilege of running
for their own money, each horse putting
in stake, the association putting in the
princely sum of $25.
Wouldn't 1t be a fine scheme for the Min
nesota horsemen to inaugurate hanging
bee, visit Minneapolis, Fargo and Still
water, execute few in each town, and then
commence racing all anew.
