A half mile hurdle race. two jumps, be-
tween Sir Tom, the entry of Mr.. Saportis.
and Foxhound, nominated byDan Hogan,
was a very pretty dash. Foxhound Sc
cured a slight lead and maintained it to
the finish. Sir Tom and his mountseemed
content to follow a short distance in the
rear. Both animals were splendidly rid
den and were lifted over the barriers as
gracefully as kittens leaping a ball when
at play.
The next race was a quarter mile dash
between a gray saddle animal and an
over fed COW horse. The latter was easily
beaten.
There were four entries in the COW pony
race, but there were only two horses in
the contest after the first turn was reached.
Dan Hogan's N. G.. led j. NJ. Kuyken-
dall's Yousee just about a length all the
way round and they finished in that po-
sition amidst a perfect storm Of yells.
Considerable money changed hands on
this event aud the victory of N. G. was a
surprise to many ofthe attendants.
The 100 yard foot race has been almost
the sole topic of conversation in certain
quarters for several weeks. The colored
| sprinter was present but disappointed his
hackers by refusing to run. There were
two dark horses in the persons of a soldier
and Bert Gibbs Of the Greeley ball club.
The other contestants we're Frank Hill
and Oscar Brant (Sidney) and Dan
Hogan of this city. Hill demonstrated
his superiority over the field SO soon as
the pistol was discharged, and at the
fifty yard marx was looking over his
shoulder at the other runners. Hill
captured first money easily in III seconds,
Gibbs second, Brant third, Hogan fourth
and the soldier fifth.
The ball throwing contest was won by
Will Murray, captain of the home team,
with a cast of over 100 yards. Ed. Leigh
ton was second, Erswell third, with
Gibbs, OF the Greeley club, low man.
The throwing event ended the days
sport and the crowd started for home well
satisfied with the tournament. There
were neither brawls nor wrangles. The
best of feeling prevailed and everything
passed of smoothly
Yesterday afternoon quite a crowd of
city gentlemen repaired to the fair grounds
to witness a match race between G. d.
Kirkland's trottiug mare and the large
black horse driven by Warren Richard
son, Jr. The contest was half mile heats,
best two in three, for a purse of $3.50, two
to n being laid on the mare. The con-
idence Of the admirers of the stepping
qualities of Nh. Kirkland's handsome
piece of horse flesh was not shaken. She
easily distanced the larger animal two sue
cessive heats.
There viii be a game of ball and more
races at the grounds Friday afternoon.

THE BRAZOS.
A Party of Capitalists and Con-
tractors Gone Down to Look
at its Mouth.
News From Stanley and His Elk.
peditiop by Arab
Merchants.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.

HOUSTON, November 2.-This forenoon
at 10 O'Clock party of distinguished gen
tlemen and capitalists left the interna-
tional depot on the Columbia tap train
bound for the mouth of the Brazos
river. They were Col. Lee A. Baker, OF
Kansas; ]. W. Angel, capitalist of San
Antonio; E. L. Carthell, one of the lead
ing civil engineers of the United States
Ira II. Evans, of Austin; Charles W. Og-
den, of San Antonio; Gus. Wilke, one of
the contractors of the state capi-
tai; G. M. Price and other contractors
and Col. Ferguson, capitalist.
They all met here this morning and are
interested in the project for getting deep
water at the mouth of the Brazos. Those
who are not contractors are officials or
directors in the Brazos River Channel and
Dock company. They went down to
make the necessary preliminary arrange
ments to begin the work of opening a
channel through the bar at the mouth of
the river. They already own twelve
miles OF water frontage on each side of
the mouth of the Brazos, which they pur-
chased within the past few months, show
ing that they mean business in their
undertaking. and are confident of the sue
cess OF their plans. Mr.. Carthell was the
right bower of Capt. j. B. Eads during
his life time and succeeded to the
management Of many of the
grand projects of that great man. He
has familiarized himself with the topog-
raphy of the land under water as we'll as
out of it in that locality, and knowing it
as he does, is confident that the
best harbor on the coast of Texas, or in
the south, can be made right here. They
have millions behind them and mean to
push their work right ahead. This is the
first time that the directors and officials of
this new company have visited the place
together since the beginning of the enter
prise. This is project of the greatest
consequence to our people and one, if
successful may be of more benefit to our
business interests than the ordinary eye
can take in at the first glance. The party
will remain several days at the mouth of
the Brazos.

TRAIN THUGS.
A Train on the Mexican Central
Held up South of Ell Paso.
$4,000 Taken.

CoInpany's Locomotive.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.

Ell PAso, Tex, October 31.-The Mexi-
can Central northbound passenger, due in
this city at O'Clock this morning, was
held up by three masked men about sixty
miles south of here, near San Jose station,
and Wells, Fargo g. Co.'s express car was
robbed of about $4,000. While the robbers
were engaged in hammering down the
door of the express car the express mes
senger put out the lights and quietly
slipped out the opposite side, taking the
the Keys to the safe and treasure box with
him, and escaped in the darkness.
This action of the messenger was un-
looked for or they would have surrounded
the car. They secured two sacks of silver
said to contain $4,000. They burst the
treasure box open, and the messenger
says there was only about $400 in it. They
then ordered the engineer and fireman off
the engine, loaded their Doodle in the en-
gine, cut it loose from the train and run
her to within two miles of this city,
where the company found her this
morning. They did not molest
the passengers. The robbers cut the
telegraph wires in three places, cutting
off all communication, which gave them
plenty of time to do their work without
fear of being molested. 1t is said
they we're Americans and doubtless are
now on American soil. A vigilant search
on both sides of the river has been going
on all day. Up to this hour no
arrests have been made, nor anv
clue been discovered. Two tramps who |
were stealing ride on the front end of
the baggage car were arrested and lodged |
in Jail at Paso del Norte. They deny hav-
ing any hand in the robbery and know
nothing of the robbers. They are believed |
to be innocent.

AFRICA.

ZANZIBAR, November 2.-Couriers from
Tabora bring direct news from the Stanley
expedition, portion of which was met at
the end of November, 1887, by Arabs
trading between lakes Victoria, Nyanza
and Nzige and Tabora. These Arabs met
Stanleys rear guard at point west OF
Albert Nyanza, southeast of Arigu, Just
as the expedition was preparing to cross
some swamps caused by radiation of
streams that abound in that country. The
Arabs did not see Stanley. The detach-
ment seen consisted of thirty men. They
stated Stanley was two days ahead. The
expedition had suffered greatly on the
march through thick forests, where it was
impossible to advance more than mile
and quarter daily. They had also suf-
fered in Mass where many disap peared or
died. Forty were drowned in crossing a
great river flowing from the east to the
west. One white man had died. Stanley
was obliged to fight some tribes that re-
fused to supply him with provisions. The
expedition had often halted in expecta-
tion of receiving reinforcements from the
Congo.
The rear guard, at the time, had been
on the march five days, aud a halt of
three days due to the illness
of Stanley, and a great part
of the escort who had been attacked with
fever. The Arabs estima ate the total
strength of the expedition, after all
losses, at $50 men. The health of Stanley
has been good. The rear guard, which
consisted of natives of Zanzibar, stated
that Stanley had decided that he would
not longer advance in a northwestern di-
rection, but would strike toward the north,
stopping to avoid swamps.
After getting certain distance north
no intended to take an oblique line to the
eastward and go straight to Wadilac,
where it was thought he would arrive fifty
days later-about the middle of January, !
1888.
The Arabs were of the opinion that the |
expedition was still strong enough to |
reach Wadilac.
1t will be remembered that on August l |
information was received from Zanzibar |
that two messengers had arrived there who |
bad left the interior about the beginning |
of April and who reported Stanley had |
not arrived at Wadilac up to that time.
The messengers stated that in the month
of March Emir Pasha did arrive at some
vague and indecisive motive of the ex-
plorer, which had filtered through from
tribe to tribe, but that reports were very
Some declared Stanley, after
losing a number of men and a large por-
ton of his supplies, was hemmed in by
hostile tribes between the Mehado country
and Albert Nyanza, while other rumors
we're to the effect that he had been at
lacked by tribes in the Matagorda MinRo
district and after several conflicts had di-
7erted his course in an unknown direction.

THE CAR.
The Train on Which He and the
Empress are Travelling
Wrecked.
Twenty Persons Reported Killed.
But the Gear and Czarina
Escape Unhurt.

ST. PETERSBURG, October 3l.-The
Grashdsnnin, referring to the accident to
the ozar's train on Monday, states the
train was drawn by two engines, and con-
sisted of several carriages besides the
saloon carriage. The latter was of mas
sive construction. The train was running
at rate of sixty-fve versts an hour.
When the first engine left the track it
piowed up the road bed and embedded it,
self in the earth. The second engine ran
on the top OF the first and was wrecked.
The first and second carriages we're also
wrecked. They were occupied by court
servants and railway officials, among
whom Baron st. Jerneval, chief inspector
Of railways, was badly injured. Generals
Yer Moviski and Tcherevin, who were in
the saloon carriage with the imperial
family, received oontusions.
The czar and czarina remained at the
scene for some time, giving attention to
the injured. The Grashdannin news
paper) contradicts the official report OF
the accident in regard to the casualties
1t afirms twenty persons were killed, in
cluding Captain Bresoh, STAFF courier;
three couriers and eight soldiers Of the
railway battalion. 1t also says eighteen
Others were injured. The imperial family
passed over the Charkoff and Nioola0lf
railway last evening on their way to Cat
china.
The weather was very stormy OF tho
time of the accident, but despite the ract
that heavy rain was falling
and that the ground was slippery,
the czar stayed at the place and
assisted to remove the dead and wounded.
He did not enter the reserve train until
the last of the injured had been placed on
the ambulances. On his arrival at Zoso-.
woje the czar ordered the clergy to con
duct the requiem for the victims. After
religious services he invited all OF The oc-
cupants of the train who had escaped 60
partake of dinner which he had served In
the railway station. lOflcial reports say
the mishap to the train was beyond quos-
ton due to malicious designs upon the
emperor's life.
