THE STATE FAIR.
The Second Day is the First Day
in Reality,


Yesterday brought renewal of that in
tense heat, while it did not materially affect
the State Fair, made it deuced unpleas-
ant to inger in the sun long at a time. 1t
was fairly boiling until about $3.50 o'clock,
when fair breeze sprang up and brought q
few clouds, making the temperature more
endurable. A good, sharp short shower
would still be blessing, and that such
may fall, at the proper Time is general
wish. The dust is binding on the roads,
though judiciously kept down to the ground.
The second day of the fair was a decided
improvement in everything that goes to
make fair great success. There was an
end Of the building and hammering and
saving and everything settled down into the
proper condition to be looked at Every
exhibit has been completed and touched up
and the general show is ready for inspect
tion. There we're many arrivals, especially
ofcattle and sheep and the display in this
line, is simply magnificent. The examin-
atious and awards will begin this morning,
in those departments. The poultry display
has also been increased by the arrival of
number OF coops and will rank with any
similar one anywhere.
The attendance was not large, but still
was good and everybody was satisfied with
it. Sensible people take advantage of the
early days of fair to see everything before
the crowd gets there, while others, who like
to see a crowd, wait until later on. The
crowd will begin coming to-day, and in
crease steadily until the end of the week.
1t was noticeable yesterday that nearly
everything salable was being literally pat
ronized and the refreshment booths and
iakirs were alike successful in their bust
ness. Some of the salient features of the
fair are to be found appended.

A sTAsBlSa ARRAY.
Melissa Robinson Seriously Cuts
George McGumphrey,
Her Ausband---Qu in a House Of ~
Repute---The Wounded Man Badly
hurt---Fears Of Fatal
Ending.

Monday evening, through the medium Of
butcher-knife, another poor mortal came
near being laid away with the silent major
itv. In this instance a woman piled the
instrument and the victim 81 her husband.
II seems from what could be learned that
George McGumphrey the victim, went to
Melissa Robinsons house Of illrepute, No.
80 Tenth street, and while there he and the
madame became in quarrel, which termin-
sted in the woman seizing a large
butcher.knite and attacked her husband
cutting large cash in his left limb and
also in the left arm. The injured man was
put TO bed in the house and finally DIR.
Ackerman was called in. He found the
wounds very large and bleeding profusely.
After considerable trouble the bleeding
VAS checked, and the injured man was
taken to the St. Charles hotel, where he is
now confined A reporter called on him to
earn the true cause of the assault, aud
learned the following: Mr.. McGumphry is
building contractor, and resides in Wells
bury. He was in Melissa Robinson s
house, sitting in the kitchen. talking to the
Madame, when slight dispute arose. He
got mp and started up the stairs. The first
intimstion of any serious trouble was
the receipt Of knife wound in his left leg.
lust above the knee, which was sccompan-
led BY the remark from his asssilant that
he would not stay in Wellsburg again. "
On receiving the cut he turned round and
showed the woman down the steps, jumping
on her and attempting to secure the knife.
During the struggle which ensued he re-
ceived a long cash in the left arm just
above the wrist. The knife was finally
taken from the woman, with the assistance
of one Of the inmates of the house.
The reporter visited the house of Madame
Robinson, but failed to find her. What her
vision OF the affair is, cannot be ascertained.
though the scribe found out that on the
18th day of July, 1883, the Madame and
McGumphrey were married in Pittsburgh
A warrant was sworn out before Squire
Peterson for the woman, and she was ar.
rested yesterday and required to give a
$500 bond for her appearance for prelim'
mary hearing. The case will be tried as
soon as McGumphry is able to be out. The
doctor has great fears of blood poison, and
should this set in, the injured men will GER
.ainly die

TO-DAY's RACES.

A Good Trot and Pace-Favorites of Last
Night.
1t is to be hoped the judges will be a little
more prompt in calling the horses out for
to-days races. When races are alternated in
heats, let them follow more rapidly, so that
the last heat may be ended before 7 o'clock
at night. Scarcely two dozen people sta yed
asst night to see the finish. And the judges
should see that less time is lost in useless
scoring. A fine or two might work won

THE FIRST HEAT
On the second score they got of, with
Princess at once to the front and George al
her wheel Then began pretty race.
Princess George and the Ball had tight
pull for the lead and had the Bull kept the
track he might have Jared better.
Princess and George alternately led
and lost, while the others fought
nobly for the tail end, several running to
save their distance. On coming down the
stretch Princess lost her feet for a moment,
and the advantage gave George the heat
by a neck. Chieftain thus got second, with
Princess third, Bull fourth, Sam sixth, VIM
C. sixth and Traphagen last. Time, 2:30.
Mutuals paid $1,000 on the heat.
SECOND HEAT.
George sold large favorite in the pools
at $40 to s. on the field. Again George
took the lead, and in two minutes the first
race was repeated, Princess and Blue Bull
pulling with her. The black stallion seemed
the best trotter and Princess equally good
but George was the slayer and took the
heat. Princess broke and ran under the
wire, and Honest Sam got second The
others came in as follows: Princess, Trap

Bull were distanced The time was 1924.
Mutuals paid $3.50.
THIRD HEAT.
There were no auction pools on this heat,
Georgia having everything her own way,
though few mutuals and several book bets
we're made against her. There were sew

Princess and Sam pressed her closely. At
he quarter George made her first break
and let Princess and Sam pass her, while
rraphagen and VIM C. running badly. At
the first half George had almost regained
her place and after pretty struggle in the
stretch she won the heat and race in 2:302,
