TIE DISTRICT REVENUES.


The following comparative statement of the
estimates and receipts Of the district govern
ment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1884,
shows that the citizens Of the district were
more prompt in the discharge of their obliga-
tions under the assessment and levies, both
for real and personal taxes, than was antici-
pated; while the receipts from licenses,
markets, aud building permits indicates a
large increase in the business of the district
over the previous yenr. The amount received
for dog tax proves that there are over four
thousand canines whom their owners con-
slider of sufficient value TO pay ~ year TO pre-
vent their being gobbled by the poundmaster

SPORTING SUMMARY.

Johnston's Remarkable Pacing-'rho
Nationals Avcrages-RacIng and
Base Ball.
CHICAGO, oct. 3-This was the open
ing day of tho fall trotting and pacing
meeting at tho Chicago Driving park.
The attendance was small and the betting
light. The weather was bright, warm,
and calm, and the track fast.
The first event was race between the
trotter Fanny Witherspoon (rocord 2:17)
and the PAGER Fritz (record 2:1S). Fanny
Witherspoon won easily. In the last heat
she was pulled up just inside the distance
stand, but nevertheless she lowered her
record. The three heats were made in
2:1s2, 2:19l, and 2:16i.
The event of the day was the successful
attempt of Commodore Kittson's PAGER
Johnston to lower his record of 2:1O. The
conditions were most favorable for speed
and the mark set promises to stand at the
head of the list for long time. Johnston
was brought out and given O warming up
heat in 2:19i. Then he and Richball were
brought out and tho judges announced
that they would be started about four
ltnBbus hpAItt hDJ W puCb aRhlnbU
each other, but each in an attempt to beat
his own record. Richball has record of
2:12I.
They were given the word, both going
fast and level. Johnson reached the first
quarter in 80 seconds, 205 gait. Soon
after passing the quarter post Richball
made very bad break and was logged
tho rest of tho way without any attempt
to mako time. johnson increased his
speed slightly, reaching the half mile
post in l:031 or at the rate of 207 for tho
mile record, the quarter being covered in
81 seconds. Along the third quarter the
same terrific fight was kept up and the
spectators began to cry "he will beat it,"
He flew to the three.quarter post in 1:35
and the cry was "see him go, he will beat
2:09." Down tho homo stretch he came
even faster, but without falter as steady
as elockwork. Those holding watches on
him could scarcely credit the tagging
seconds and at the distance stand the cry
was "he will beat 2:0S." There was no
mile was completed in the unprecedented
time of 2:06l, the last quarter being paced
in 3lt seconds, or at the rate of 205. Tho
horse and his driver, John Splan, were
loudly choered, and Mr.. Woodmansee,
manager for Commodore Kittson, was
heartily congratulated.
Richball then attempted to beat his
record, but only succeeded in making
2:l4. He made no other attempt. The
closing event of tho day was the attempt
of tho pacing mare Minnie r, hitched to
wagon with running mate, to beat her
own record of 2:05. In this she was sue
cessful. The first quarter was paced in

Arrested for LibeIing Loriilurd.

New YORK, Oct. 3.-George X. sandi
son, managing editor of the New York
Star who was notified yesterday that u
warrant for his arrest had been issued on
a charge of criminal libel, made by Pierre
Lorillard, appeared with counsel to-day
in the Yorkville police court. Counsel
for hr. Lorillard was also present. Ex-
animation was set down for the 18th inst,
and Mr.. SandisOn was paroled to appear
on that date. The alleged libel consists
in a reference To Mr.. Lorillard published
in the Star in connection with Mrs. Gill
bort, who recently died, leaving u will
bequoathing to Mr.. Ned Gilmore, theatrical
manager, the sum of $50, 600 in reversion.
The article insinuated that Mrs. Gilbert
was woman Of easy morals that after
leaving her husband she attracted num-
Der Of "bloods," prominent among whom
WAS said to be Pierre Lorillard; that she
smiled swoetly on Mr.. Lorillard, and that
"Old Pierre" was evidently infatuated,
for he loosened his purse.strings and
made her some costly presents.

NEW YORK, Oct 3.-The friends of Miss
Sarah Carpenter, of Brooklyn, who has
been missing for somo days, and who it
was supposed might have sailed on tho
steamer Bothnis, have received tele-
gram from Queenstown announcing tho
arrival there of that steamer to-day. Tho
dispatch also states that lady who gave
the name Of Mrs. Blake, and who, it is
supposed. may have been Miss Carpenter,
was missed after the second day out and
had, no doubt, drowned herself. Miss
Carpenters friends fear that this may
prove to be solution of the mysterious
disappearance Of that lady, though they
have other clews as to her probable where
abouts which they have not abandoned.
They have cabled to Liverpool TO have
the purser OF the Bothnia seen on her
arrival there tomorrow and to have tele-
grsphed to New York any particulars he
or any one else can furnish about the lady
who was drowned. They ask that any
article she may have left be described.
An examination of the passenger list Of
tho Bothnia, at tho Cunard Office here,
shows no "Mrs. Blake" thereon. The lady
in question probably boarded the steamer
at the dock shortly before she sailed and
secured her passage then.

that all the vessels suited to modern war
purposes should be kept in thorough
repair, ready for immediate service, and
that the complete outfit Of each vessel
should be prepared, and either placed on
board, or in separate store houses close at
hand; that the officers and men for each
ship should be detailed beforehand from
the active navy for ordinary service. 1t
is expected that in eight days the whole
naval force can be modified"
At 10 a. M, April 90, 1884, the chief
of the admiralty, Van Caprivi, with his
aid, arrived unexpectedly at Kiel, and
at / p. m. ordered into commission, for
immediate service, sixteen vessels. No

according to the system adopted in the
army The trains brought in the men,
and in few hours, with the assistance
of the men of the dock yard division, the
ships were equipped.
At noon, April "a, just fortyseven
hours after the issuance of the order, the
rear admiral hoisted his flag in command
of q squadron Of twenty vessels ready for
war service. The vessels already in
commission joined the squadron.
