Endeayor 10 :. Tnrow'' u Raoe-A Lame
Plea. ts#4 N
sr. Louis, Mo-. September I.
Inquiry into the Nora NJ. matter was
pursued till late last evening. It VIII be
remembered that this mare was eptered
for five furlong heat race lastEriday, for
which she should have carried los pounds.
When the other seven horses We're at the
post her owner, or rather the owner Of
her running quaities--J. w. Owens
get no one to ride the mare
except boy named Hartman,
who could ride no lighter than ia s.4
pounds. As the mare had been warm
fsvorite, first, in fact, until Just before
the race, the officials would not listen TO
Owens suggestion that he be allowed To
draw the mare, and insisted on her start
ing with even this extra weight up for
the first heat, while they directed that u
boy OF the proper weight be procured for
the others, The starter reported that
1t was with the greatest diff
ticuIty he could get Hartman
to bring the mare to the post Mt all,
though when another jockey, Thay.r,
was put up Norah NJ. acted well In every
way, gave no trouble at the post and
won the succeeding heats and race. Evil
dence was given 10 the judges that Wren
Yetman had been regularly engaged to
ride the mare aud that he could do so at
her proper weight of los pounds. 1t
was proved to their satisfaction that the
boy had been told by Owens that he
should receive $50 not to ride the mare,
but to es-
KEEP OUT or THE WAY.

course, to say the least OF It, very unus-
ual for iocky, and that whenseon there
and questlo by people Interested In
the mare, lie acquainted them that Owens
had promised him money to stay away.
1t was further stated that Thayer, q
Jockey who could also ride the weight,
had gone SO far as to offer Owens $50 to
allow him to ride instead Of
charging him a Jockeys fec
for the reason that he, Thayer, had back
cd the mare to win him $500. IL was
further proven that Quantrell, the we'll
known and able jockey, told owens up TO
the very moment OF the race that he could

defense made BY Owens practically con-
sisted In his statement that though he
had been racing for a considerable time
he had never taken the trouble 70 even
read the rules Of racing. He stated that
he had been offered $500 in Chicago to
pun the mare there, and declared him
self innocent on this occasion. Tho

Last week, we published an item re-
speoting Rev. Hugh Murphy, formerly
priest of the r. G.. Church of this city.
1t appears that he has the sympathy of a
large number of priests and laymeu, who
deny that he is incorporate, and who
charge that he is the victim of malicious
persecution The Newark Daily AdUer-
tiser says:
"a purse of 81 900 was presented last
week at Paterson to the Rev. Father
Hugh Murphy, on the part of his late
parishioners. The presentation was &c.
companied by an address, signed by
Messrs P. Lee, j. Land, j. Coughlin, j.
Mccarthy, Meager and Gourley, as CON-
mittee on behalf of the subscribers 10 the
testimonial.
'In the presentation address the CON-
mttee said that the removal of Father
Murphy excited profound sympathy,
which was intensified by the cruel and
undignifed manner in which he had
been treated; that his arrest by police
officer was not enough to satisfy the NAL
lice of his enemies, and horror was ex-
pressed that the Chancellor of the diocese
should attack Father Murphy.
''In response Father Murphy said: TO
day. my friends, over this broad, fair, free
land there are many good and holy priests
crushed, wrecked and broken hearted,
the hopeless victims of this fell and terri
BILE spirit, suffering in silence, afraid to
publish their grievances to the world.
again reiterate the charge that Bishop
Wigger is partial TO the Dutch and pre-
JUDGED against the Irish priests, and a
brief survey of his diocese will confirm
this statement.

MIR. Elisha Stout, superintendent of
the boot department in the Lamber.ville
Rubber Co.'S Mandatory, has recently
invented and patented ''duck rubber
boot, which is meeting with great favor.
The boot is made of heavy duck cloth,
into the interstices of which rubber is
forced, and then coated outside. This
boot is intended for miners and others
doing heavy work. 1t can't be torn, and
will stand an amount Of wear that makes
it almost indestructible. Already the
demand is considerable, and when it gets
fully known in the market it will no doubt
out-sell all other makes for the purpose
intended. 1t is made exclusively by the
Lambertyille Rubber Co.

81 80 per pound. There is an oil ex-

very valuable for watchmaker's use. The
