was not what would be desired in a horse
that was setting out to lower record.
After scoring once or twice the driver
nodded for the word and away she went,
but broke in the first quarter and came
back. On the second attempt she kept her
feet, finishing the first mile in

fell behind in the back quar-

gave it up.
The race between J. R. Lovejoy's big
trotter, Gen. Hancock, and Frank Mackey's
grey PAGER, Uncle Eb, was apparently
closely contested. the horses being close to-
gether all the way through each mile, and
Gen. Hancock winning in straight heats,
but by less than half length. 1t is not
improbable, however, that Hancock could
have done much better if he had needed
urging. Time, 2:211l, 2:27119, 1868.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. S.-Trials for
polygamy and unlawful cohabitation in this
district came to an end for this year to-day.
Several cases were put over till
the next term of court in
the latter part of December,
but it is said there will be no more trials
till February. W. D. Newson, whose
p0lygamous wife has been in
the penitentiary for months for
contempt in refusing to tell who
was the father of her child, was to-day
convicted of both polygamy and unlawful
cohabitation, involving five years
and six months in the peniten-
tiary and an $500 fine, if the Judge
imposes the maximum sentence, as he
invariably does when the prisoner shows
no disposition to repent. Sentence
will be pronounced next week. F.
III. Hanson, convicted to-day of unlawful
cohabitation, gets six months and $500.
While the trials have closed the grand jury
is steadily finding indictments. The Nor
mons first sent to the penitentiary are
now about coming out and an
effort is being made by the government to
reindict them for violation of the law be
tween the previous Indictment and trial.
The MormoDS show no indication to stop,
and the government is more deter
mined than ever to punish polygamists
The semi-annual conference of the Mormon
church, which closed this evening, has been
tame affair. The divinity of the polygamy
revelation was reasSerted and the saints
urged them not to abandon this practice,
however severe may be their punishment.

nearly o'clock this evening when party
Oh strikers congregated about the street
cars OF the q ass avenue line and began to
lntimidate the conductors and drivers. A
squad OF police soon appeared and the
strikers disappeared, but only changed their
base, for they Immediately went to
Plne street, between Seventh and Ninth
streets, out of which three differen.

soon gathered there. A crowd Immediately
collected and John Doyle was knocked

and threatened to lynch him. He was
rescued by the police, however and
taken to the station to save him from the

from the cars and turned them loose, and
slugged all the drivers and conductors they
could lay hands on, but none of them were
badly hurt. Among the persons assaulted
was Mr.. John Sculler, the president of one
of the union depot lines and also
of the Mound City road He
was pretty roughly handled but
not much injured. Notwithstanding the
police were active and arrested ten of the
mob, the crowd was equally alert and
some of them lossened the brakes on the
cars, which were standing on down grade,
and set them running down the hill, which
resulted in collisions, the breaking of win
dows and jamming of platforms Finally
the police got the mastery OF the mob and
dispersed them. Other teams were sent
for and the cars were taken
to the stables by friends of the road who
volunteered to run them, and traffic was
suspended for the night. Between II and
II o'clock tonight seven of the bob-tail cars
OF the BellfOntaine road were derailed and
run into the gutter by what is believed to
have been crowd of hoodlums. But no
damage was done to the cars, and the
drivers were not mOlested.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-The immense

ment of II. S. Cr0cker 81 Co. on Bush

-Four men were burned in the ruins. The
estimated loss On the building and stock is
half million dollars. The first alarm was
turned in at 2:10 a. NJ, but as the fire origi-

as ''blind fire" flames had already made
considerable headway before the extent of
the danger was realized, in an Incredibly

WASHINGTON. Oct. S.-The report of
the naval board, appointed to investigate
the cost of the construction of the United
States steamer Mohican and the organiza-
ton of the Mare Island navy yard, Cali
fornia, has been furnished for publication.
Regarding the work of construction, the
board finds that the original Mohican was
placed out of commission at the Mare Island
yard on the 25th of June, 1872. A survey
was made of the vessel, and the sum of
S1S5, $50 was estimated as necessary to re-
pair her. No action was taken upon the
report and estimates. The board finds that
by authority of a letter signed by Naval
Constructor L. Hanscom, chief of the bu-
reau of construction and repair, and dated
Sept. IA, 1873, a new vessel called in this
and all subsequent orders and references
the Mohican, was laid down from plans and
specifications entirely new and differing in
almost every respect from those of the old
Mohican. The order by which the present

LONDON, Oct S.-A fire broke out this
morning in the Charter house buildings,
a row of thirteen eight-story warehouses
On Aldersgate street. The flames spread
with such rapidity that in few hours the
whole of the buildings. including the con-
tents, were almost totally destroyed. The
origin of the fire is unknown. The row
was mostly occupied by fancy goods
dealers, furriers. toy stores and print
ing Offices. One bank was also in
the buildings. This institution was the
only one that escaped being burned COM
pletely out. 1t was badly damaged, but not
destroyed. The fremen had great difficulty
in getting the streams from the engines to
play on the upper stories of the buildings.
Many narrow escapes were recorded, owing
to the desperate attempts of the firemen to
get at the flames. The damage is estimated
at &c. 600. 900.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The report that
the president has asked Attorney General
Garland to dispose Of his telephone stock is
not true. Thus far the question has never
been discussed or even mentioned between
the president and the attorney general.
Gen. Garland remarked to-day that his tel
ephone stock was for sale, and had been for
sale all along, if there was anybody who
wanted to buy 1t. He dismissed the whole
subject as one not worthy of serious consid-
Grafton, and added:
I have but one single complaint to make
against the newspapers. Since / became at
torney general some of the papers accused
me of wearing swalow-tailed coat upon a
certain occasion. Now, was never guilty
of anything of the kind in my life, and feel
hurt at the accusation. All the other charges
that have been made against me by the press
are not worth mentioning.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8.-There is more of
politics visible among the officeholders of
Washington just now than there has been
at any time since the change in the admin
istration. Even President Cleveland him
self is showing some interest in the matter,
and although he denies the authorship of
the letter published in New York, purport-
ing to have been written by him, he makes
no hesitation in saying he is for
the Democratic ticket in his own
state and indicating that he expects
to go home and vote in November.
This has encouraged the subordinates in
Office to take some interest in politics and
several Democratic state associations have
been formed. There were good many
Republican state associations under the Re
publican administration. but they all dis
banded when the Democrats came into
power. The organization, however, of
these Democratic associations may prob
ably lead to renewed activity on the part of
the Republicans and it will not be at all
surprising to see good many Republican,
as well as Democratic clerks, go quietly
home at the last moment to cast their bal
lots.

Sherman Badly Scared.

WASHINGTON, Oct. SIT is evident
that the political outlook in Ohio is not en-
cOuraging to the Republicans. Senator
Sherman has written letter to a clerk in
the treasury department. asking him to go
home to vote and to get as many others Of
the Ohio clerks to go home as he can. The
senator assures him that there will be 10
danger in his so doing, and that he (Sher-
man) will stand by him and the rest who
come out bodily. It is understood that the
clerks in the various departments are soon
to be notified, in some official manner, that
there will no objection to their going home
to vote for whatever party they want to, if
they have any leave of absence due them.

Possibilities in New YORK.


ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. S.-The most
prejudiced observers must admit that if the
elections in New York were to be held to-
day, the Republicans would sweep the
state by a handsome majority but the out
look may change before the 1St of Novem-
Der. All things are possible, politically.
in state that gave Garfield
q, ,033 over Hancock in 1880; elected the
whole Republican ticket, with one excep-
ton, and Democratic senate and assem-
bly, in 1881; defeated Folger with Cleveland
by 1872, ,5S4 in 1882; elected a full
state ticket to the Democrats with one ey-
ception, in 1888, and made gains
of Republican congressman, and gave the
state to Cleveland over Blaine in 1884
Nothing that happens in this state, there
fore, need cause any surprise after scanning
the above outline. 1t was won by
the former on margin Of
One-tenth of 1 per cent. of the
whole vote cast. The great lesson that the
Republicans seem TO have learned by the
defeat of Folger and Blaine is that there is
large and controlling force in the politics
OF this state known as the Independent
votes. Eveu the most rabid machine Re-
publican must admit that the Mugwumps

lessons would have been needed Having

the hatchet until after the election at any
rate, in order that they might show united
front to the Democrats. They nominated
Davenport as their choice for governor

ranks once more crops out. No sooner was
it seen that Davenport was satisfactory to
the Independents than there began to be

COLUMBUS, o., Oct S.-The campaign
is closing up with high fever on both
sides. While the miners, colOred men,
Uorkingmen and other elements are taking
new departures, the liquor question Is,
9ter all. the one shat will turn the
day, and Oh this issue the situation
is very much as it was two years
ago. Then everything seemed TO be i'll IA
vor of the Republicans till the last week,
when the liquor traffic turned on them from
one side and the advocates of the prohlbi-
tory amendment traded off their state ticket
on the other side Now the ProhibitlonlStS
argue that they are equally op-
posed to both parties. That the
Democrats plead guilty and that they must
pass sentence against the Republicans,
while the liquor element is all torn up over
the report that Judge Foraker has said at
different places that he is not only in favor
of taxation as shown by the Scott law, but
also for local option and local option pro-
vision in the next liquor-taXatiOn law. This is
regarded by the traffic as political prohibi-
ton in all those parts of the state where
prohibition could be enforced under con-
stitutionaI prohibition law, and they are de-
manding pledges with threats of the worst
kind against the Republican legislative
ticket, which Will strike John Sherman.
Temperance is becoming stubborn
thing in Ohio. Radicals demand
prohibition. and 320. 600 votes, almost
enough to put it in the constitution were
cast for it i'll 1888. The poll of the state
shows that the prohibition vote VIII not fall
short of 20, 900 this year. Their
vote for st. John last year was
$1,000 and the increase more than
doubles it. OF the 11.000 increase
the poll shows that it is pretty equally
divided between the Democrats and Repub-
licanS \ careful average struck on the
polls shows the increase to be 6
to 5. if the Prohibitionists gain
5000 votes from the Republicans
and 5000 from the Democrats,
which reliable returns show to be the case,
the result depends altogether on the Re-
publicans holding their contingent of Ger
mans and liquor dealers, and there
is now great doubt as to their
ability to do that. Many
thousands of circulars are being sent out by
the Democrats charging that Foraker is for
local option, and quoting from his speech
at Defiance to show it. The liquor assO-
Citations in all cities will meet next Sunday
afternoon to decide on their course, and on
that action the result depends.

this Davenport might be, who was
SO satisfactory to Mugwumps, who had
brought to his support not only the Inde-
pendent Germans of New York city who
supported Cleveland, but many old-time
Democrats who dslked to vote for
Hill. The inquiries showed that DAY.
enport had been a strict Republican,
although he had not been connected with
the fractional fights of the past But when
it was also shown that Davenport had
brotherin-law, Hon. Sherman S.
Rogers of Buffalo, who helped to
elect Cleveland governor in 1882.
When the machine men shook their heads
they brought out the badges: Remember
Folger." This they showed only to a few
as they stabbed Blaine last year. They as
sert that Davenport must also be sacrificed
as a revenge for F0lger'S defeat. Although
the anti-Republican vote of the old Stall
warts is not expected to equal that Of last
fall, yet the incident is worth nothing. a
year ago this vote defeated Blaine; this
year it may possibly defeat Davenport.
