Two Cooking Mains.

NORFOLK, May 3.-The cooking main
between New York and Philadelphia
closed this evening Thirteen battles
were fought, Philadelphia winning six
and New York six. The thirteenth
bait e was a draw. The sum of 81 200
was staked on the contest, but IA con-
siderable amount changed hands other
wise, az numbers of sporting men from
several States were present to witness
the contest and several track-fghts were
fought during the main.
RALEIGH, May 3.-A cooking main
in progress at Raleigh for $1,000 ter
minated to day in favor of the Halifax
birds. Large sums were wagered on
the result. The attendance was larger
than ever known on such occasions in
this State and the display OF birds un-
usually fine. The Sheriff yesterday
arrested some of the participants on II
warrant. To-day bench warrant was
issued by Judge kutfin Of the Supreme
Court, and the principal participants
were arrested and bound over to court
ia the sum Of 81 900 each.

PhOsDhate Frauds.

The West Chester Local News states
that recent analysis OF a fertilizer
manufactured In Bucks County aud
sold for $45 per ton, made by the ST., 4
Board of Agriculture, shows 1t tO bt
worth bat S6.16. OF it the chemist re-
ports This is the biggest swindle
thus far. The sample was tested for
every conceivable valuable ingredient,
but besides the above Gas stated in the
analysis) it was found to consist mainly
of carbonate of lime (limestone), ylas-
ter of Paris, salt, sand and charcoal." "
One made in Pittsburg and sold for $l2
per ton was found 10 be worth 10 the
farmer forty six cents per ton. A
material used rs fertilizer" and sent
from Chester County was found to be
worth thirty two cents per ton.
The News, commenting on the above,
says farther that good judges claim
that the system Of analysis established
by the Board of Agriculture has raised
the average value Of the fertilizers in
the market fully three dollars per ton,
and this without any corresponding
increase in the cost to the farmer. AS
we annually consume over 10000 tons,
this makes sum of 500, 600 per year
The result of the work has been tu
drive poor goods from the market and
to increase the demand for reliable
brands which have, by repeated tests of
ana lysis, proven themselves good.

Not Burglar Proof.

Many Of the business men of this
city are under the impression that il
they have a safe to hold their valuables
that they are beyond the reach Of burg.
lars, and unless they blow it open they
cannot get into it. This, however, is
a mistake, AZ a prominent hotel keeper
of this city, was convinced to the con
trary yesterday morning, when safe
agent approached him and asked him
why he did not purchase IA larger safe.
The owner of the safe replied that it
was large enough for his business, and
il was also burglar and fire proof The
agent smiled and said he could open it
in less than ten minutes.
The owner bet drinks for the crowd
that he could not. The agent went to
work, and in just three minutes the
massive burglar proof doors swung
open, much to the astonishment of the
hotel man. 1t is not known whether "A
new safe will be purchased or not,

evening recently, and discussed the
question of establishing IA crcmatory in
the vicinity of that city. They already
have the plans Of building for the pur-
pose of burning bodies, similar to the
lie Moyne crematory in Washington

those present seemed to be in favor of
erecting au attractive building in the

religious services and other accommo-
dations. 1t is proposed to form joint
stock company for the purpose of
carrying out these views, and Il meeting

AN ALLEGED LARCENY.
A Woman Charged with Stealing
Iron,

Yesterday morning officer Andrew
Moore saw Sallie Sinex take about one
hundred pounds Of iron on a wheel
barrow to William NortOn's on Church
street above Ninth, where she sold it.
He obtained "a few pieces, which he
identified rs belonging to the Diamond
State Iron Company. After showing
the pieces to Messrs. Davis and Todd,
Of the company, he remained in the
neighborhood OF tine mil for IA short
time and saw Sallie coming along from
her house with another wheelbarrow
load and arrested her
Last evening, when she came in the
dock she had an infant about 10 months
old in her arms, and pleaded not guilty
to the harge. John T Davis, sup
erintendrnt of the MILL testified that
they had lost great deal Of iron, some
Of which was no doubt wheeled ont in
the ashes, but he did not think as much
as she had would be taken ont in that
Of the iron, which he said he could
identify as the property Of the company
from the fact that there was not any
other iron like ii in this city. He re-
gretted that he was compelled to appear
against the woman, but something had
to be done To stop thieVing.
Several Wine e VT examined for
the defense, who testified that the iron
found in her possession was picked ont
of the ashes that are dumped ON the
lower part Of Church street, and SalIie
said thar she did not know there would
be any trouble about it or she would not
have taken it, The Mayor held her in
500 bail for Court.
