HORSE POISONING.
The Tricks of Touts to Get Sure Thin IS on
Horse Haces-The Arrest of ''Texas Tom'
for Attempting to Tamper With Lizzie


The Tricks of Touts to Get Sure Things on
Horse Feaces-The Arrest of "Texas Tom"
for Attempting to Tamper With Lizzie
Dwyer.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-The arrest of
Thomas Redmond, alias Texas Tom, for
alleged completely in the attempt to
poison Ed Corrigan's mare, Lizzie
Dwyer, is liable to lead to some startling
developments. "Texas" now confesses
that the report of his meeting the man
Charles Price at Englewood was
correct, and that Price gave him
$500 to bet on Brunette against Liz
zie Dwyer. Price had obtained this
money through Mamie Hunt defeating
Pearl Jennings on July II, when the lat
ter was a very strong favorite. 1t Is ale
most certain that Pearl Jennings was
drugged and was thus prevented from
winning. Many who saw the behavior of
the mare at the post that day were con-
vlnced at the time that something was
wrong with the great Splinter.
Texas is still silent rs TO his con-
federateS, and refuses to divulge the
names of the people who were at the
back of the transaction. There is
strong suspicion direc:,l i'll certain quar-
tiers, and it is more lhan probable that
the officials are on tn" right scent. When
the attempt was made 70 poison Lady OF
the Lake at ST. Louis two years ago.
Sam BRYANT, the owner, forced "IeXaS
Tom'' to produce the bottle OF poison
which he had INTENDED to give the lilly.
He told Redmond that if he would give
up the names of the people who employed
him he would not deal harshly with
him. Redmond consented, and in the
presence Of Detective Browning, OF st.
Louis, gave the names of the two book
makers. The detective, for some reason
best known to himself, told Redmond
shat it was no use giving up these names,
that it would not help him in the least,
whereupon Redmond said he would
take the whole statement back, anu
that what he had said was not true.

Ground in Anticipation of Possible Emer-
gencies.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Notwthstand-
ing the serenity with which the War De-
partment is claimed to view the Mexican
imbroglio there was an unusual activity
yesterday at headquarters. The entire
force of telegraph operators at The war
Department were on duty. Throughout
the dav a number of messages were sent
to the commanders of various local MILL
tary organizations asking how many vol
unteers they could muster in case their
services should be needed on the Mexican
frontier. 1t is not the intention OF the
War Department to have these volunteers
mustered into the regular service at once,
but to learn what additional force will be
available to cooperate with the regular
military in the event that actual hostile
ties should arise.
Special Envoy Sedgwick left here
last night over the Pennsyivanla
road for St. Louis. From there ne VIII
take the Iron Mountain railway to 81
Paso, Tex. He said, 81 came here to re-
ceive my final instructions preparatory to
going to Mexico. There is nothing can
say more than what was several days
ago printed, and to say anything upon
the subject would be quite improper a
the present time" He will reach Sk
Louis tomorrow evening.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
THE BEST WAY.

Old Brain was taking a walk one day,
Just for mis- health, you know:
He strolled along in careless way
Wherever he CHANGED to CO.
The forest paths were green and cool
His mind from care was free;
His children were safe at the infant-school
And his wife was getting tea
They had corn from the field of q farmer
near,
And honey his bees had made;
Yet with ali his thieving he'd never a fear,
Nor thought of the plan that was laid.
And SO, when he came to a curious box
He put in his foot for fun
And the last thing he knew was some terrible
knocks
And the flash of the farmers gun
Now, children, believe me, you'd better take
care;
If you're naughty and sly. don't forget
That you never can tell just when or just
where
The trap that will catch you is set.
4oull put your foot in it some day, without
doubt;
So pray you take heed to my rhyme
And remember the very best way to "look
out"
Is just to be good all the time.

Not So Bad as Reported.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. ls.-R. W.
Pierce of this city has just returned from
a trip to the northern portion of the State,
where he went to look after the Ium-
herring interests. 81 do not believe,
MIR. Pierce said, "that there any thing
like the amount of green pine destroyed
that is claimed. The fire ran mostly in
slashings where the pine trees were cut
last wear. The trees stood around the
edges of the slashings, where they were
burned, and i'll some cases tile fire
reached eight or ten rods into the forest
that is ali. There is too much green
stuff in the woods in that region for then
to burn readily"

Catholic Church would be reopened Sun
dav next, and that the successor to Faith
er Koasinski, the recalcitrant priest re-
moved by Bishop Borgess., would be
chosen at the meeting of the synod of

est excitement among the parishioners
yesterday, and several thousand men and
women gathered at the church. The
KEYS are in the hands of Kolasin-

to give them up, and carpenters
we're set at work to remove the doors.
The crowd soon stopped this, and riot
was imminent when the police arrived.
Kolasinski is now in Minnesota, and it
was resolved to telegraph him asking his
advice. 1t is asserted that the acquittal
of the three Poles who were tried tor
murder in connection with the Polish
riots of last winter, has emboldened the
Poles.

WORKING UP A BOOM.

Washington Business Men Trying to Vork
Up Boom for the Capital by Means OF IL
Grand Encampiment and Competitive
Drill to Take Place Next May.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l9.-For some
time past a number of active business
men of the district have beeh revolving
some project to boom Washington by at
tracing visitors from various quarters of
the country at some suspicious season.
OF late the preference seems to have been
turned towards q grand National drill
competition and camp OF National
Guards. Recently Mr.. L. c. Delon, of
Mobile, who was the leading spirit of the
Interstate drill in that city last year,
reached Washington alter concluding the
work of the Albany centennial. He was
requested to remain here for confer
tsce and some days ago meeting was
called to consider the matter practically.
A meeting was held at Wizards Hotel,
with District Commissioner Whcatly as
chairman, A careful examination was
had of the various aspects and results OF
inter- State competitive drills, heretofore
held in various States, and twas decided
that a National drill at Washington, in the
latter part of next May, would be the
most attractive and successful plan
which could be adopted. 1t is pro-
posed to give larger money prizes for
all arms than ever before, not less
than eighty thousand dollars being need
ed for these and similar expenses. The
+, date of the drill is fixed at the end of
May for the reason of greater convenience
to organizations expected to compete,
and also to close the drill exercises with
grand parade of volunteer soldiers from
all sections of the country on Decoration
Day at Arlington. A committee was
ordered to be appointed, of which Com
missioner Wheatley is chairman, and to
consist of nine representative citizens, to
, arrange the details of the National
drill and report at an early date.
