Three Quarters of a Length.

PHILADELPHIA, October 9.-Pat Demp-
sey won the three mile single scull race
from John Ritz at ShowmOnt on the
Schuylkill to-day in 81 minutes 24i sec
onds by three fOurths of length. The
water was as smooth as o lake and the
Oarsmen had every Indictment to ictOry
except spectators. The rival attraction
of base ball called many interested in
sports to the diamond. While the old er-
ror of trying to get the attendance of the
public without letting the public know
through the newspapers what is going on,
explains the paltry hundred that gathered
to see the start.
Harrington Fitzgerald acted as referee,
and JOS Siebert as Judge at the finish.
w. A, Rennert was time keeper for Ritz
and Ellis Ward for Dempsey. Both men
were in splendid condition andat the word
"GO" at SOB caught the water nearly at
the same time. Ritz soon got a lead how.
ever, which he held for about mile, when
Dempsey seemed TO gather fresh strength,
and came tearing down heriver with that
powerful stroke of his. Inch by
inch the prov of his shell forced along by
the side OF Ritz's boat and finally took the
lead. He held it well, made the turn and
came toward the finish closely followed by
Ritz. The latter gained gradually on
Dempsey and many thought he would
pass him. The last quarter was very
closely Contested. But Dempsey managed
to hold his place and came over the line in
the time given. The race was for 5000 a

The No-Rcpt Movement CoIlau>Inc

LONDON, October 9.-The Government
processes to be daily receiving ample eyi-
dence that the ''nO-rent' movement in
Ireland is collapsing, owing to the good
harvest, the improved prices the farmers
are receiving for their stock of butter, and
the wearncSs consequent upon the agita-
tion. They cite an instance in RoScom-
mon, where James O'Kelly, the Nation
alist member for that district, and J. L.
Cox, the member for Clare, started a
"no-rent' movement last Sunday. Now
they say, even the Land League Branches
there are sending deputations to the land
lords, the priests leading the petitioners,
PRAYING for reductions in rents, and prom
ising that if their requests are granted the
tananto will then pay the reduced rents.

THE DECISION WITHHELD
BY Judge Stealey In the Newman -Baxto
Shooting Case.

BY Judge stealey In the Newman Baxter
Shooting Case.
The examination of witnesses in support
OF the application to Judge Stealey for bail
in the case of John Newman, the supposed
murderer of Baxter, was completed at noon
yesterday. Judge Staley has been par
ticularly careful to learn all the facts
in the case 50 far rs possible in an
cr pdrte proceeding of this character, that
injustice be not done to person who has
heretofore borne such coed reputation as
John Newman, and yet at the same time
that he be dealt with the same rs the
most confirmed outlaw, if guilty.
To this end all the testi-
mony taken before the coroner
was reproduced by the court. The evil
dcncc up to yesterday morning, was not
very damaging against Newman, even the
theory concerning the gun was about eX-
ploded, for all but one of the witnesses
who were present when the gnn was first
tried in the imprint in the ground at the
foot fthe apple tree, testified that it was
too large. But this morning n man by the
name of Nice was produced who testified
to conversation he had with Newman
about one year ago, at which time New
man told Nice he intended TO kill jacob
Baxter on the first opportunity. The
Judge has taken further time to consider
and will probably decide the matter Mon
day. and Newman was rcmanded to Jail.
The court room has been crowded ever
since the examination began.

OFF TO CANADA
With S4Oo, 900 Bogus Receipts Behind
A Big Packing Firm Fails.

CHICAGO, October 9.-An afternoon
paper says: n. NJ. Neeld, q partner in the
we'll known packing house off. C. Fergu-
son & Co. is in Canada. He has issued
bogus ware house receipts for people ag-
gregating 100000 He has practically
bursted the firm. The loss will fall alto
gether on the banks, 500, 900 on a single
New York bank.
"The banks here who lose by it," said a
prominent director, "are all rich, and will
not knoSthe loss. The worst loss is on q
New York institution. Neeld left for Cam
ada night before last and no one has heard
from him.
Neeld was fine looking man of about 4S
years. He was the managing partner in
the firm of J. c. Ferguson < Co which was
n very old and rich one
and came originally from Indianapolis
He has been big specnlator in bonds and
in stocks and has been wrong for q long
time. The biggest loss has been in Wall
street. Noparticulars at all are yet OBJ
tainable concerning the failure. Mr.. Fer
CURSOR is locked in his private Office and
refuses to make any statements whatever
until later IN the day, after he has had
an opportunity to ascertain exactly the
extent of the disaster that has Overtaken
the firm. The firm of II. Ferguson & Co.
is an old one and stood high. They own
ed a warehouse and this was
made regular" short time ago. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Neeld issued number of
fraudulent warehouse receipts and that
Chicago land New York hanks loaned
money on them to the extent above stated.
Neeld was one of the Directors of the
Chicago Board of Trade
The firm was composed of. c. Fergu-
son, Ed. Ferguson, q son-in-law of Goodbidy,
of Liverpool; Neeld, n son-iu-law, and Mr..
Inward, also son-in-law. The latter
had his headquarters at New York and
from that place managed the shipment.
For that reason some banking was done
there. The New Corn Exchange Bank is a
heavy loser. Mrs J. c. Ferguson was
very wealthy and loaned money to start
the house here. She now holds mort
gage on it. The defalcation grew, it is
believed, through year and it is pre-
sumcd that il started with no really dis
honest motive.

vict labor. 1t is expected that the Post

ry.
