The Fastest Record Beaten,

New YORK, June 15.-.Just why w.
H. Vanderbilt brought Maud s. and
Aldine from the Charter Oak Park at
Hartford back home to this CRY is now
evident. He wanted to beat the record
of Frank Works team, Edward and

with something to spare. This after
noon Mr. Vanderbilt drove the team

where about 100 gentlemen were assem-

Death of Capt. James Egan.

Capt. James Egan died last Saturday morn
ing at his residence, No. 302 Indiana avenue,
aged 46 years. Capt. Egan was born in Ire
land, but came to the United States when but
a small boy. In 1866 he enlisted in the United
States army and performed gallant service.
At the battle of Franklin, Tenn, while
sergeant, he captured confederate battery,
and for gallant service at Murfreesboro was
promoted to leutenancy. He was trans
ferred to the I'd cavalry in 1865, and became
subsequently captain Of company K in that
regiment. After the rebellion Capt. Egan
saw hard service in the Sioux wars
under Gen. Crook. Long-continued and
Arduous services broke him down, and he
was retired as captain in 1879 For several
months past he had been confined to his bed,
suffering intense pain. His wife, between
whom and her husband existed the tenderest
attachment, was unremitting in her attention
to him, and after sleepless weeks was kneel-
ing at his bedside when the dread messenger
come.
Capt. Egan's unfinching courage his ex'
alted sense of honor, and his chivalric gem
erosity endeared him to all who knew him,
The remains will be taken from his late res
idence tomorrow afternoon at A o'clock by
the Masonic fraternity, of which he was a
member.

A GLIMPSE AT THE TRACK.
Horses That Arc Now Here Training For
the Spring Meeting OF the Jockey


Horses That Arc Now Here Training For
the Spring Meeting OF the Jockey
Club.
On Saturday REPUBLICAN reporter WIS.,
tied the best race course in America at Ivy
City and looked over the grounds and stables.
The green grass is pleasant successor of the
brown knolls and clayish flats that tired the
eye in the younger days of the track, and
fRom the grand stand the club house hill and
the track field arc beautifully emerald.
Nothing is changed down at the stables.
They present the same indifferent appear
ance when tenantless that they do when oc-
cupied Some of them already shelter fly
ers however, and in q few days a large num-
Der will be enlivened by occupants.
Davis Halls string are quartered in one
of the rows near the exposition building.
Ella Warfeld, that splendid mare by War
Dance--Florac, is the chaperono of the
stable. She is looking we'll. Rosiere, the two
year-old by Dickens---Rosie, is q handsome
colt, and is said to be fast. Tho others, Jake
White, War Eagle, Leisure Hour, Fern Leaf,
and Performer, are in good condition, and the
two Leader colts look promising. The Ken
lucky stables horses have the last stables
down tho lane. La Gloria by Lever-Alixe,
is entered for most of the fixed events for which
she is eligible, and her owner claims she will
make fine showing in the diplomatic
stakes. Cpmtesse, by The Ill-Used--Camilla, is
also entered for the events for which she is
eligible, and is in good condition. Carolus,
who broke down at the Greenbrior White
Sulphur Springs last fall, has large swelling
on the left foreleg which seems calloused, but
which his trainer says will yield to blistering.
X. B. Fillmore's LynChpin is stabbed near La
Gloria. Like Carolus, he is suffering from leg
troubles. and is as rough coated as q cart horse.
Ed. TifRn's Keno, that remarkable animal
who wins races when considered dead loser
and vice versa, is also at the track. The re-
porter did not see him. Mr.. W. p. Buroh's
stable arrived Saturday morning, and the
horses were of course very tired, having been
on the cars since Tuesday but they are
in very good condition. The beauty Of
the stable is the thrce-year-old bay
colt w. p. Burch, by Enquirer-Brocade.
He is entered for tho Analostan stakes
for three-year-olds, and looks game enough to
like bunch of steel springs touched up with
electricity. The old standbys, HELEN Wal
lace, Iota Jim Nelson, and Col. Sprague were
stiff from long riding. The two youngsters,
Bob May by imp Glenelg-The Nun, and
BIittie B by King Alfonso--Flash, arc fine
animals, and if they do not belle their breed
ing and appearance, will procure hosts of ad-
mirers by their future achievements. The
others in Mr.. Burch's stable are Homespun,
Decoy, Duck, Nellie Dean, and one or two
others.
Mr.. Muekley's stable, containing Joquita,
by Lucifer-Chiquita, Topsy, Ranger, and
three others reached the track yesterday
morning and the horses belonging to ]. Z.
Kelley, Charles Littlefeld, and Charlie Strong
will arrive from Long Branch Thursday.

Slight causes sometimes make one per-
son to differ from another; but it would
most certainly require A GREAT CAUSE
to make the intelligent public believe
that there is BETTER or SAFER place
to buy well-made, nicely fitting, cheap or
elegant CLOTHING for MAN, BOY, or
CHILD than at SAIXS'S.
AS the time approaches to sell or give
away old clothes, the first thought is
where to get new ones. Where are you
going to buy new suit or overcoat? Why,
right here-at Headquarters--of course.
You certainly cannot afford to invest in
either without first looking at ours, to as
certain the correct styles, ifnothing more.
Whether you are dressy young man or
a quiet, middle-aged man, sedate old
man, man eXacting in taste or indifier-
ent to Appearances, a large man or small
man, a fat man or thin, poor man or a
rich, we have an overcoat or suit to please
you for here are all styles in vogue, and
at the lowest prices. 1t is both pleasure
and satisfaction to deal where every
thing can be found and where every
transaction is square and honest.

Knocking the bottom Out OF Gas.

DO you know what you arc doing" said
o we'll known resident of the city yesterday
afternoon to REPUBLICAN reporter.
"In what respect" replied the reporter in
quiringly.
You're knocking the bottom out Of the
gas company. The stock has gone down from
40 to 45 and a fraction since The REPUBLI-
CAN began its assaults and it's still going"
"We don't care for the stock. It's the prico
of gas we want to bring down."
perhaps you'll fetch it if you keep on. If
the stockholders get thoroughly scared they'll
maybe reduce the price of gas, though l am
inclined to think someof the heaviest holders
arc trying to unload. 1 am told some of the
officers sold out just in the nick Of time, and
the others are following suit. Stock was
offered in blocks of 300 shares Satur-
day at 452. and only 45s was offered.
This is moro than twice its par
value, water and all, which shows what divi-
dends it has been paying. Keep it up The
only people you can hurt are spoculatorsl and
non-residepts of Washington, who have grown
fat out of this monstrous monopoly. fyou
can bring the stock down to par wcll get gas
at reasonable price"

SENATOR Edmunds on Transportation.

ST, LOUIS, April Ex-senator Edmunds
visited the merchants exchange by invita-
zion yesterday, and after holding pleasant
reception in the directors room made brief
speech from the rostrnm in the main hall.
lIe expressed great pleasure in viewing the
operations Of commerce and the various bust
ness interests working together TO common
said, 1--WE feel as deep an interest in the navi-
CATION of your great river as you do, and we
feel as deeply as you the need Of exertion by
some power, whether by legislature or con-
gress, TO regulate transportation corporations,
But there must DO justice and fair dealing in
such regulation. We must do justice to those
who have placed their money and brains in
enterprises wh!oh have given us an easy
means Of communication as we'll as to our
selves. As long rs these means Of communi-
cation are kept up so long will the unity and
prosperity Of our great nation keep up"
