political outlaw, having been outlawed by
both the Republican and Democratic parties,
and was, so he claimed, independent of
each and indebted to neither. He said that
the contest-the result of tin the Third
congressional district would depend greatly
on the man whom the Democrats should
select as their nominee, thereby creating
the inference that if the right man was
nominated the Democrats would prove sue
ceSsful. He expressed the opinion that
his new book Oh the Baconian cypher on
Shakespeare would be completed inside of
thirty days, and at the end of that time he
intended to devote month to politics.
Mr.. Haigh, the secretary of the Farmers
alliance, said that the alliance now included
in its membership some 20. 600 farmers, who
were divided up into 446 different branches,
and the work of increasing the number was
still going on throughout the state. Re-
ferrlng to the attitude of the alliance, or at
least of the officers thereof, during the
coming state contest, he said that an official
announcement would shortly be made by
The president and himself defining their
position as officers of a political and not
partisan organization. He expressed him
self as being in favor of keeping the al
lance, as an organization, out of the state
campaign, and Of allowing the individual
members to vote as they saw fit. 1t was
his opinion, as he expressed it, that both Of
the great political parties would incorporate
in their state platforms planks that would
be very friendly to the alliance, and the
members could, therefore, devote their aim
and attention to capture members of the
legislature who would not be opposed
to legislation in the interest OF the agricul-
trraI classes

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-There was a great
deal of quiet work aud many mysterious
movements among the officials of the Rock
Island and Lake Shore railroads to-day,
over three distinct attempts two wreck TIVE
passenger trains last night and one freight
train. The detectives of the roads were al
work on the case all night. One of the at
tempts was to wreck the Chicago and Rocb
Island train which left the Van Burer
street depot at 1880 p. m. last night,
bound for Omaha. The train consisted OF
an engine and five coaches and two sleep
ers, all filled with passengers. A three.
pound iron wedge was placed in the guido
near the cylinder head, which blew out the
head and bent the frame of the guide, to-
tally disabling the engine. While this wal

hour later, passed the Omaha train, when
an attempt was made to wreck it by turn.

THE THIRD ATTEMPT,
which was successful, was made on freight
train at Fifty-first street. Mr.. Chamberlain
showed reporter wedge at his Office this
morning and said:
Train No. left the depot on time and ran
out to 800 feet Of the stock yard crossing,
near Thirty-ninth street, where occurred q
sudden shock. The cylinder heads were
blown out, and the frame of the guide head
broke. This incapacitated the engine, and
while another was being got ready the train
was pulled up to the shops, which extend
from Forty-seventh to Fifty-frst streets, and
held for relief locomotive. The wedge was
driven in the guide near the cylinderIhead, and
the engineer and fireman saw a man in @

The Record.
AT MONMOUTH PARK.

The Bard Wins the Blue Ribbon of
tIae Turf from the Dxvyers' Great
Filly.
New YORK, Aug. 17.-There was an i'm
mense gathering at the Monmouth Park
race track to-day to witness the contest for
the Choice takes, in which The Bard and
Dewdrop, the $4,000 FLY of the Dryers,
were to prove which was entitled to the
blue ribbon of the turf as three year-old
for 1886. The Bard settled the question by
winning by short head, Hayward, who
rode him being bent on giving Mclaughlin
on DewGrop kind OF finish which Nc
Laughlin always seemed to like, namely, a
close one. The excitement as the horses
entered the straight was tremendous. Cheer
upon cheer resounded through the air.
Ladies stood upon benches and ratings and
by voice and gestures urged their favorite
to victory, and when at the close, The Bard
passed the line winner by a short head,
thousands sighed that the race was so ended.
THE RACE IN ITSELF
was really one-horse affair, for from the
start to the finish The Bard was held
steadily in hand for the great final struggle.
At the stand after the start Ben Ali, Dew

past in the order named. In the turn en-
tering the back stretch Mclaughlin put

exactly what Hayward wanted, for he let
The Bard loose and again was Dewdrop
left. Ben Ali all this time was racing as if
for dear life. In the turn on the railroad
side Mclaughlin again moved the fillY up,
but found that it would be very njudicious
to force her just at that time, and SO he re-
served all her force until well in the
straight, when he tried one of his splendid
strategy moves Of riding by forcing the
pace in the last furlong. But The Bard

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 17.-The publica-
ton of the fact that William GRAY. Jr..
treasurer Of the Atlantic and Indian Or.
chard mills corporation, is a defanlter to an
enormous amount has created great excite
ment here. Gray was deposed from the
treasurership of both corporations several
days ago, and William Hooper was chosen
temporary treasurer of the Atlantic mills
and Edmund Dwight of the Indian Orchard
mills. The assets of the two CORPORA
lions amount to more than $4,000
600. and it is not believed the SOL
vency of either is impaired by Gray's
operations. The capital of the Atlantic
mills is 81, 900, 600. and it's assets. according
to the last annual statement, exceed SO, OOO,-
000: Inc capital OF the Indian Orchard
mills is $500, 900. The assets are nearly
three times that amount. Mr.. Gray has
been treasurer of the former for ten years.
and OF the latter corporation for eight years.
He has occupied a foremost position in
business and social circles. He has lived
magnihcently, and was regarded as very
wealthy. lie owns the hne cutter Yacht
Huron, and has been commodore of the
Dorchester Yacht club several years. Mr..
GRAY is about so years old, and has a wife
and two sons In an interview this morn
ing with two of the directors, the following
facts were learned: Last Friday
THE DEFICIENCY WAS DISCOVERED
by an examiner appointed by the directors,
and on Saturday Gray came to the office
and was confronted with the charge. He,
after a moment or two, confessed the
crime, acknowledging that he had embez-
la6 no of
tent of between $780, 900 and $500, 900, but
as to the use he put the money to, his only
reply was building operations" This
accounting is believed to be true by the
directors. who say his operations Of this
character in Roxbury have been notorious.
1t is also believed that Gray has told the
truth regarding the amount embezzled and
the directors do not expect to find that
it will exceed S6OO,O0O On Sunday
Gray, accompanied by his brother-in-law
and party of gentlemen friends, went on
board his yacht, the Huron, and all cruised
about the lower harbor and bay during tho
day and spent the night below. Monday
morning the yacht came up to the city and
landed Gray and his companions on the
Central wharf. Gray ordered the captain
to get ready to sail again at 2 p. M, al
which time Gray stated he would be on
hand. The captain has not seen Gray
since and the Huron lies at her anchorage.
1t is known that Gray has left the city and
it is thought is making his way to Canada
with horse and buggy. It is not believed
that he has carried any of the stolen money
with him, as he is believed to have spent
most of it.
1t seems tolerably certain that the de-
fauiter, Gray. has committed suicide, hif
horse and buggy having been found in q
lonely place, where they had evidently re-
manned all night in drenching rain.

wild throw of Colgan. In the following
inning Duluth was BANKED and Milwaukee

the ninth inning and came home on Reids

LoGANsPoRT, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE story
telegraphed from Kokomo last night that
the body of Miss Lou Mabbitt of Wheeling,
Carroll county, had been found in the river
near Lafayette was to-day disproved. How
ever, portion of her dress was found IN
the creek near the fathers farm, and its
torn condition would seem to indicate
struggle. Many persons, including the girls
parents, believe that she was abducted
or murdered by her lover, Amer Green. and
the father has offered $500 reward for their
apprehension and return, dead OF alive.
Other persons believe that the couple
eloped, and that they will turn up in due
time. AS unfolding this theory it is alleged
that Green secretly appeared at his mothers
house some nights ago and told her all was
well, and the girl was being well cared for.

Ex-Representative Officer of Austin was
at the Merchants. Discussing the political
situation in the First district, whose con-
vention will be held at Kasson to-day. he
said that he thought Milo White would be
nominated as his own successor. Mr. Officer,
himself delegate from Mower county to
the congressional convention, said that the
entire delegation from his county was in
structed for White, as that issue had been
forced in Mower county and had resulted
in White delegation. He expressed the
opinion that Lovely, if the Winona delega-
ton stood solid, would get thirty-four votes
in the convention at the send-otf, while
White would only have thirty-one dele
gates; but as it took forty to nominate, he
thought that before Lovely got the neces-
sary number Whites friends stood chance
of increasing his vote to the majority num-
Der. In any event, he said, there would be
no hard feeling over the result, as he
wanted Republican congressman and if
he could not get White should content
himself with somebody else. Being Re-
publican, he denied that the Democrats
stood much of show of electing con-
gresham in that district.
