 RaceRs
 Maud S. in care of Charles Grant, the groom, passed through this city yester- day noon en route for Hartford. MT. Bair, the driver, was on the train, and in the car with the famous trotter were sulky, trunk and other trotting paraphernalia. MT. Grant was in talkative mood, and conversed freely regarding his charge. 'I have been with Maud s. since she was two years old, y said he. "That was before MT. Vanderbilt owned her When Mr. Bonner bought the mare I did not intend to go with her, as intended to go home to my wife and family, who live in Cincinnati. I only see them during the winter time when the mare is not trotting, and then am sometimes obliged to make short visits at home; but MT. Bonner asked me to stay with the mare for a short time and consented, and am pleased with MT. Bonner. like him for an employer, and am glad he has bought Maud. He is just the right person to have her. He will treat her well, just as she ought to be treated, and she will not be worn out on the track Mir Bonner and myself had a long talk the other evening, and found him one of the most able horsemen that I ever met He is the best judge of a horses foot that ever saw. I understand Maud will be sent a fast mile at Charter Oak track ill few weeks''
 At half past 1 o'clock Charter Oak Park was lively with men and horses and the judges rang the bell for the first race of the meet ing, which was the 2:22 class, in which there were eight starters. Butterfly was the favorite in the pools before the races, selling at $25 King Wilkes, the second choice, sold for $1O, Corneha $8, Judge Davis $6' and the remaining four in the field sold for $5.
 At the fifth trial the eight horses started. Butterfly soon lost the pole. Walnut won the heat by two lengths.
 In the second heat Judge Davis was the first under the wire at the home stretch.
 The third heat was close at the finish be- tween Butterfly, who was leading, and Judge Davis and King Wilkes, who were striving for second position.
 King Wilkes took the remaining three heats and the race. The positions of the horses can be seen from the following

Colonel Perry Refuses Permission TO
 Have Them Dfsfnterred.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Co1onel Perry, who has charge of the National cemetery at Cypress Hills where Private Henry's body is buried, to-day refused the coroner permis- sion to exhume the body for examination. Despite the affidavit of Miss Dora Buck of Lincoln, Neb., that she is a sister of Henry and her telegram requesting to have the grave opened, Colonel Perry thought that better proofs of Miss Bucks relationship should be produced and argued that Secre- tary Lincoln alone had power to violate graves in national cemeteries and that as the shooting had taken place in British territory the case did not come under the jurisdiction of the Queens county coroner. If Miss Buck only wanted to know the cause of her broth ''Henry was shot and his body mutilated. D

THAT CAMPAIGN sLANDER.

A Letter From a Democrat Which
 Disposes of the Lie Against the
 Honor of BIaine's Family.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-The following letter has been received by the Indianapolis Times It is from William M Johnson of Dallas, Texas, a highly respected Democratic citizen and son O. Thornton F. Johnson, at whose institute James G. Blaine and Miss Harriet Stanwood were teachers:
 DALLAS, Aug. 25, 1884. To the editor of the Indianapolis Times
 Sir-In answer to your request for state ment as to any facts relating to the islander upon MT. and Mrs. Blaine I will say this much: This islander was first circulated at Drennon Springs, Ky, in March, 1851, by pernicious scandal monger, tailor from Mil lersburg, Ky, on a visit to Drennon to col lect some bills due him by the cadets. His object in originating this story was either to pander to the pernicious appe- tite of young men for such subjects or to grati- fly some spite against Mir. Blaine. MT. Blaine being at this time absent on trip to Louis vile the scandal did not reach his ears or it would have been summarily disposed of. then and there forever. Remaining uncon- tradicted, although unbelieved, it was scat tered to the four winds of heaven by the lovers of such tittle-tattle. In this way originated this baleful freak of slan- der against the fair name of most modest lady without even shade of fact to warrant it. MT. Blaine remained professor of Latin in the institution until 1859. My father, the principal, died in October, 1881 Does it stand to reason that with even the least possibility of such story being true that Mr. Blaine would have been allowed to remain at the institute or that my father could have associated with such mana As for myself can say that for four years l knew both MT. and Mrs. Blaine intimately, as thoroughly as any man can know his own brother and sister, living under the same roof, eating at the same table, members of the same family cir cle; yet never dreamed of such suspicion Never was there 8 more modest and prudent lady than Miss Stanwood, never more per feet gentleman than MT. Blaine. While l always liked Mir. Blaine as a professor and admired him as man, yet in politics we differed materially, as much so as 1t is possi- ble for Democrat to differ from Repubh- can. And this statement is not written to advance his cause as the candidate of his party for the presidency, but to vindicate the fair fame of Mrs. Blaine. close by stating that in my opinion and as far as l know the story is false and malicious slan- der in every particular. Respectfully,
 WILLIAM M JOHNSON.

Some Curious Phenomena on q

Some Curious Phenomena on the
 Washington Monument.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-The Washington monument is rapidly approaching compile ton. Nothing now remains to be done ex- cept to finish the pyranidal top. The me- chanics engaged upon the roof have noticed curious and interesting phenomena One of them has contributed to the Evening Star the result of his observations. He says:
 ''Last Thursday afternoon, during the fierce storm which prevailed, quite 8 hail storm occurred on top of the monument, but not single one of the frozen pellets reached the earth. The stones were so large as to se- verely sting the faces of the men, against which they were driven by the sharp gale; and the fact that they were all melted be- fore they touched the ground would seem to indicate much lower temperature at the sum- init than at the base of the shaft, though the size of the particles would naturally be dimin- ished somewhat during their whole course through the atmosphere from their starting point. At sunset, when the atmosphere is clear and the sun unobscured, beautiful phenomenon is observable from the top.. Long after the sun has passed from view at the base, it is still shining bright and strong against the summit, high in the air. The result is that a strong shadow of the upper part of the monument only is projected across the sward of the Smithsonian ground to the eastward. This is due to the fact noted above-that the sun still falls with full force against the summit, while the horizon line has cut off it's rays from the base. Of course it is not possible for persons on level with the earth to observe this novel exhibition, but from the top of the column the sharp shadow of the extreme summit, with the line of shade growing fainter and fainter nearer the monument, until the shadow lines of the lower part are entirely lost, can be seen quite plainly from the great elevation afforded by the aerial outlook, and the effect is very singular. Perhaps no other elevation in the world would furnish in itself such novel and conclusive evidence of great height"

The Condition Off fsecretarv Foleer,

WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-The following is furnished from the Treasury department and embodies the opinion of high medical auth
 critics thoroughly familiar with Secretary Fo1ger's condition: It can be authoritatively stated that the reporters from western New York greatly exaggerate the seriousness of Secretary Folgers condition. The dispatches mention his difficulty of breathing and attri- bute it to organic disease of the heart This is not the fact, but this symptom is subjec- tive and the result of temporary congestion of adjacent surfaces. There is no apparent reason why the Secretary should not entirely recover from this from previous similar
