BATHED IN HUMAN BLOOD.
A Quadrupie Tragedy Among Hungarian
Railroad LsbOreTs.
PHILADELHHIA, Aug. 20.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. %.
Among the laborers whose daily toll has
been building the Ridgewsy & Clearfield
railroad near Dubois, Pa, were Stephen,
Luke and John Scovitch, Hungarians. These
men with their wives and children, lived in a
shanty of hemlock logs near Falls Creek sta
tion. Near their cabin is hut occupied by
negro laborers. At five o'clock this morning
one of the negroes heard feeble knocking
at the door. A little Hungarian child stood
outside in great distress and stammered some
thing, and pointed towards Scovitch's cabin
The negroes went over to their white neigh
bors. The door was ajar. On the floor in
one corner lay Scovitch. covered with blood
from hideous gashes in the head. He did not
speak or move. Near him lay his wife. her
black hair stained with her own blood, which
had gathered in a pool beneath her. She was
also unconscious. In the centre Of the room
lay Stephen Luke's wife, also shockingly
beaten about the head. IL was found that
the sculls of all three were fractured Luke
himself was severely injured aboat the head
and was unable to give any account of the
tragedy. In the midst of it all lay a pole
axe, such as is used by miners, clotted with
blood and human hair. The children were
unlnjured, but the room had been ransacked
and S400 taken from Luke. Scovitch had
$500 concealed in his rude bed and this has
not been found. The negroes asked where
was Michael Mitelock, who had been seen to
enter the cabin the evening before. He had
disappeared. Mitelock was Hungarian who
was recently discharged by the foreman under
whom Scovitch and Luke worked. Yesterday
Mitelock returned to Falls Creek station for
the pay due him when he was discharged. He
tn en- called on his friends Scovitch and Luke.
and early in nthe evening they were heard
having q hilarious time. Soon after midnight
several other men are said to have been seen
near Scovitch's cabin. The room in which
the four maDgled bodies were found presente j
horrible scene of dissipation. Oyster cans
half full Of liquor were scattered about, and
the atmosphere reeked of drink. No arrests
have been made.

SPORTING.
PACING AT CHICAGO.
Johnston's Easy Victory Over Richball
Minnie RS Failure.

CHICAGO, Aug. %
match race between the famous PAGERS
Johnston. owned by Commodore n. w. Kit
son, and Richbsll, owned by ]. :. Campbell.
for a wager of $1,000 a side, occurred here
this afternoon. The weather was cool and
clear and the track fast, except portion OF
the byckstretch, which was soft. Five thou.
sand persons were in attendance. Johnston
was the fsvorite in the pools at % to 10, and
a large amount of money was wagered, the
friends or Richball claiming that Johnston
could not go three fast heats. The result
proved that they were mistaken, as he was
never headed, pacing very close to Little
Brown Jugs 2.llt, Ais, 2-l2t, which are
the fastest three heats on record. Ii was the
general opinion that Johnston, had he been
driven opt in each heat, could have beaten
this. Mr.. Campbell, the owner of Richball,
says his horse was out of condition.
First Heat--Johnston drew the inside posi-
ton. After both horses had been warmed
up they came down even, and as they were
going well, got the word at the first attempt.
At the first turn Johnston began to draw
away, and increased his lead to two lengths
at the quarter pole in 329, and to two open
lengths along the backstretch TO the half in
l.063. Around the upper turn Richball drew
up TO within an open length. The three
quarter pole was reached in 1894 On the
home stretch Johnston began drawing away.
and as it became evident that Richball had
no chance OF winning the heat, he was pulled
up inside the distance stand and Johnston
won in a jog in lib.
Second heat-They went away well together
at the second attempt and were at the quarter
post in 323 seconds, Johnston being an open
length in front. The relative positions were
not changed to the half, was reached in 055
At the end of the five furlongs Johnston re-
sponded to the call of his driver, quickly
opening gap of half dozen lengths, and
coming on won in a jog by twenty lengths.
Time-2.l2S
Third heat-They were given a send of in
the first attempt Johnston shot half length
in the lead, and he increased it steadily. going
to the quarter in "a, to the half in l.0S1, to
the three-quarters in l.4l. and finished in
2.l3i, nearly distancing Richball.
Following this event there was an exhibition
by the pacing mare Minnie r.. hitched to n
wagon with the ruHning horse Firebrand, who
accompanied Westmont when he paced over
this course in 2.0li. The exhibition was to
beat 2.05. The time of the first heat was OF.
In the second heat just as the word was given,
the mare broke and was pulled up. and re-
turned without going around. The third heat
began with much promise. The quarter post
was reached in 80 seconds, at the rate of two
minutes, and the half in one minute. The
next quarter was slower, the three-quarter
post being reached in 32S Coming home
the mare tired very perceptibly, completing
the mile in 2.07i.
