O., B., a. q. Day.

CREsToN., Ia, August 3l.-TSpecial Telo-
gram TO The BEE. Chicago, Burlington s.
Quincy day, the red letter day of the blue
grass exposition, dawned bright and beauti-
full and was all that could have been wished
for as fair day. Forty big locomotives
were steamed up early in the morning, and
at 8 O'Clock were drawn up in line in the yards
opposite the passenger depot, right in the
center of the city, and every bell and whistle
was started. This magnificent chorus
filled everybody with enthusiasm, and
in few minutes the large grass plot ex-
tending along the thi oe blocks adjoining the
Chicago, Burlington &c Quincy yards was
filled with vast, surging crowd, filling the
arr with cheers, with the music OF bands and
with the rattle of drums. Everything was
music, cheers and noise. Thousands of rail-
road men took part IN the parade, and after
meeting all the excursion trains the process
sion marched to the grounds. Ten bands
were in the parade aud music was an essen
tial feature of the days exercises, which
were otherwise very much the same as on
all previous days. The principal addresses
were made by Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
officials. Very much interest was shown by
everyone to day.

THE SPEED RING.
EI Rio Rev WINS Ar,in.


MORRIS PARK, N. V, August 3l.--Thirty
thousand persons were present to-day to
witness the close of very successful race
meeting. All interest centered in the great
White PLANS han dicap for two-year-olds.
Ell Rio Rey was for the second time to battle
with some crack youngsters. The starter
dropped his flag on one of the prettiest
starts imaginable. Every horse was in mo-
tion. w. G.. Morris had slight advantage.
Ruperta was second, st. Carlo third, and
the Others so closely punched that it was
impossible to pick them out. When they
came in sight at the head of the hill they
were stretched across the track like troop
of cavalry. Ruperta was the leader fol-
lowed by Cayuga, June Day and Ell Rio Rey.
The latter appeared to be badly pocketed.
The leaders bore over until it appeared
as if he would be shut off. With
shake, Winchell got him clear and in couple
of jumps he was in front. Then he began to
take things easy. Suddenly Ruperta came
with rush that made the hackers of the
favorite quiver. She was gaining at every
stride. In fact, for a moment she was ahead.
But Winchei was equal to the OCCASION and
with one cut of his whip the gallant chestnut
was again in front and had added another to
his unbroken list of victories Ruperta was
but head behind, four lengths from st.
Carlo. The time was II, one second better
than the record. Leighton was fourth The
distance of the race was three-quarters of q
mile. Summary of other races:

SAN Francisco, August 3l.-Among the
passengers who arrived on the steamer zea-
landia to-day from the Australian colonies
via Samoa was Lieutenant w. ID. Rose, OF
the United States storeship Monongahela,
now stationed at Pago-Pago He reports
that the United States steamer Adams had
not arrived at Samoa when the Zealandia
left there on the 18th inst, but was expected
every day. 1t was on this account that Ad-
miral Kimberly did not leave for San Fran
cisco on the Zealandla. He expects to return
next month.
King Malietoa, and several chiefs who
were deported with him by the Germans two
years ago, arrived at Apa from the
Marshal islands on the German gun
boat Wolf few days before the
Zealandia arrived at Samoa. Maietoa's re-
turn was maze the occasion of general re-
loicing by the natives. His health is re-
ported to be broken down, owing TO his long
exile, and for this reason he will not attempt
to resume control of affairs for the present.
Mataafa will still continue IN office.
The political situation on the islands re-
mains quiet. The natives are also recov-
ering from the famine. The Monongahela
some time ago distributed among them 15, 900
pounds of bread and large quantities of rice
and other provisions.

CLaRKsoN AND HIS AIDES.
They Meet and Perfect Arrangements
for the BIG Parade

for the Big Parade.
Grand Marshal Clarksou met all the sub
marshals OF tho Merchants parade ut the
Millard hotel last night.
MIR. Kierstead moved that so much as per-
tains TO the procession on wheels should
move in single file.
This brought forth considerable discuss ion.
Mr.. Garneau said that last year IL had taken
two hours for the PROCESSION to pass a given
point, and he thought this was too long.
MIR. Kierstead's motion finally prevailed.
Major Clarkson read n protest from the
Omaha typographical union against allowing
Messrs. Gibson. Miller & Richardson's non
union men appearing in line.
The union said that they would turn out
225 uniformed men if their protest was recog-
ni2ed. They did not object to the firm
making display of their own manufactures
such as books, pamphlets ETC., but they did
not desire TO see 'scabs" in line.
It was suggested that IL committee should
call upon Messrs. Gibson, Miller 81 Richard
son, they would probably agree TO the de.
mands of the compositors.
Mr. Easson said he was in favor of allow
ing all unions to onter the parade. There
were none In line last year and he could not
see why there should be in this year, but
they might come If they so desired. Some.
one said that he thought there had been
union men in the parade last year
Sulu MT. fIhSSOn, 'Lnerc were not
There were on the Fourth of July, when we
allowed 'nigger' bricklayers aud everybody
else in, but there were none allowed in the
Merchants week parade. This parade is
gotten up for the benefit of the merchants Of
Omaha, and do not think it is the place of
any union 10 attempt to dictate to the mer-
chants in regard to whom they shall have in
line"
The matter was discussed pro and con, but
1t was evident that the general feeling was
against the union. The matter was finally
left to the committee on press and publish
ing houses to settle the best way they can.
MIR. Kierstead reported that he
had secure rate OF 800 from
the Union Pacific for train
of ten coaches to carry people from the city
to South Omaha on Thursday. The people
down there, he said, were intending to pre-.
pare some little entertainment for visitors,
and would serve very elegant lunch at that
time. He also said that the Union Pacific
had desired to give the train free, but 1T was
against their rules. 1t had been suggested
to HIM that all that was necessary to cover
this was for member of the finance commit
tee to call upon the officers Of the road and
this would be made good.
The question arose as to the means of
keeping a rabble from capturing the train.
1t is the intention to run this train for the
benefit Of the merchants from the country.
1t was decided that l, 900 tickets be printed
and given to the drummers commute to dls-
tribute to their customers among country
merchants. The meeting then adjourned.

letin to-day:
The weather during the week ending Au-
gust 30 was hot and dry, with more than an

Early planted and well titled corn is rapidly
maturing and Is doing well. Some fields are
already beyond danger of damage by FROST

tured by September IS. The dry weather
has undoubtedly reduced the total yield Of

SEVEN PEOPLE INQUIRED.
The Omaha Train on the Northwestern
Wrecked Near Chicauo

lhe omana lraln on the northwestern
Wrecked Near Chicago
CHICAGO, August 3i.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. Seven people were more or less
injured in train wreck at Elmhurst, small
suburb on the Northwestern road sixteen
miles out of the city, at IL 10 last night. The
Omaha passenger train, consisting of three
baggage cars, four passengers cars and two
sleepers, left the city at 1O:3O last night.
Half mile east of Elmhurst the train had to
stop to allow freight train to side track in
order that the passenger train might pass.
The night was very foggy, and two dan
ger signals were hanging out at the rear of
the train, but the cars had barely stopped
when, with a rush and roar, a
single engine, ''wIld" one from the
city, came tearing, down the track
at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The
engineer claimed that he did not see the
signal lights on the rear of the Omaha tram.
At any rate, he and his fireman, whose names
could not be learned, had just time to Jump
when the engine smashed into the Pullman
coach. The engine run her cowcatcher under
the trucks of the car, raised it, and threw it
Off into the ditch and partially on its side,
while the engine, dismantled and stackless
wreck, rolled over on the side of the track
The coach that was struck was forced into
bne one duedu. WHICH was knocked clear Oil
its trucks. Other than this it was not badly
damaged.
The cars were filed with passengers, most
of whom had retired, all of whom were more
or less injured. Several gentlemen broke
open the windows of the coach and escaped
from the car in that way, and also assisted
the lady passengers out. 1t was miracle
that all those in the coach were not killed.
Fortunately there was no one IN the end
state room. Had it been taken, the occu-
pants would have been crushed to death, as
Z the entire rear of tho car was smashed into
pieces.
Tram Dispatcher Egan was at once noti-
fled of the wreck by telegraph, and he sent
relief train out to Elinhurst in hurry.
When it got there, however, 1t was found
that the wreck hau been partially cleared
away and the unlnjured portion oil the train
had proceeded on its way, taking the
wounded, of w HON there were seven.
1.-The seven could not have been badly
hurt" said Mr.. Egan this morning, las they
went right on. | didn't learn any names
The blame we haven't yet located. / do not
think any one was responsible, the rear
lighJs were put up and the fog obscured
them.'
Tho damage is placed at from $4,000 to
$4,000. The rear coach is worthless. the
next one badly damaged. and the engine that
ran INTO The train lost her smoke stack and
about all her uDcer works.

sLANDERED BY HER MOTHER.
The Reason Given BY Belle Priest
For Attemptinp Suicide

Another name has been added to the list
of attempted suicides. This time it is Miss
Belle Priest. of 40T1S North Seventeenth
street, who tried TO shuttle Off this mortal
coil via the morphine route. She swallowed
about ten grains of the drug yesterday after
noon, but tie size of the dose saved her life.
A physician was called, who administered an
emetic and.soon had his patient safely on the
return from the river Styx.
The cause of all this commotion Is most
unfortunate state of affairs. Miss Priest
keeps roomers and boarders at the above
number, and her mother Is IN the same
usiness at 40519 on the same street. The
bone of contention is younger sister of
Miss Priest, who prefers to live with her
sister, much against the will of the elder
lady. The little girl has, on many occas-
ions, been the victim of her mothers
wrath, and yesterday was no exception
to the usual rule. A severe whipping was
administered, but not without strong pro-
test from the elder sister. Hot words fol-
lowed, the exact substance OF which no one
knows, but it is understood that among other
things the old lady repeated remarks which
she had made at various other times, reflect
ing severely upon her elder daughters re-
spectability.- AT any rate, Mrs. Priest sal
lied forth to the police court and tried to get
warrant for her daughters arrest on the
charge of keeping house OF ill-fame. She
was not able 10 make any positive state
ments and the warrant was refused.
The neighbors are of the opinion that Mrs.
Priest is slightly demented, and state that
there is no ground for her statements reflect
ing on her daughters character.
Mrs. Priest was seen and stated that she
had come here from Shenandoah, Ia, about
four weeks ago, and had at once commenced
taking roomers. She made a number OF
statements regarding her daughter, and the
people who are rooming with her daughter
who are all married people, by the way, but
it was evident from her conversation and
general manner that she Is not responsible
for what she says.
