VENANGO'S JUMP.
She LIE APPS Fence and Falls On
Her Jockey.

Jupiter the Wet must have thrown all
of his bad clothes overheard at the time
of the calling of the third race, for the
rain was coming down in sheets, and
the track and horses could scarcely be
seen. The lightning was sharp and the
thunder sonorous, all of which made
the horses shy and their drenched
Jockeys nervous. Venango was par
ticularly flighty, dancing on eggs from
the stables to the post. While the horses
were gathering for the start she reared
suddenly, threw Crockett, her jockey,
jumped the paddock fence, and tore
around the inclosure toward her stable.
She was captured and led to the stand.
Crockett thought the filly too wrought
up to start, but she was put into
the saddle for a second start. By
this time Venango meant business,
and she went at it. Crash! came
a peal of thunder and she reared high
in the air, came over half backwards
and fell on Crockett. She was on her
feet again in an instant, and off like the
wind up the stretch to her stall in the
stable. Crockett was bruised consider
ably and 1t was feared injured inter
nally. VenangO had deep cut on her

accident caused a twenty minutes
delay for the rearrangement of the
pools, after which, with the usual mis-
cradle start, the horses got away.
Jenny Grourud, nobody's favorite, had
the lead, Willie M close on her heels
and Bob Ricketts, left at the post.
Passing the quarter, Taral steered
Willie M to the front and lead, which
he never lost. although Fox at the
three-Quarters tried hard to catch him
with Valedictory. Willie NJ won in two
good lengths and sea of mud, Vale
dictory second and Henry Mac third.
The winner sold to owner at no ad-
vance. Summary:

THIRD DAY NOTES.

The steeplechase to-day-one and a
quarter mileS-promiseS to be one Of
the most sensational features of the
club races. There are four entr les, all
rattling good horses. The prospect is
very good for some hard English riding
of the most exciting character. Lovers
of this sport cannot afford to miss this
feature.
Venango, who threw Crockett, has
done the same thing before to seven
Jockeys, and when brought up from
Chicago it required four men to hold
her down in the car. She is a vicious
brute.
The stable tips were unusually good
yesterday, they naming four out of five
winners.
Crockett had nerve enough to crawl
out from under Venang0 with grin Oh
his face.
The alleged Philadelphia Times re-
porter should screw his nut home.
The bookmakers lost heavily yester-
day, fayorites beating the mud.
The grand stand awning was not
badly damaged by the wind.
BY measurement there was five
inches of mud on the track.

EDUCATION DOESN'T COUNT.
Montana Voters Need Not Be Able
to Read and Write English.


HELENA, Mont, July 25.-In the con-
stitutional convention to-day the suf-
frage question was discussed. Mr.. Hart
man moved that voter must be able to
read and write English. MY. Burleigh
opposed this, and said it would dis
franchise many foreigners who had
fought for this country. Mr.. Knowles
took similar view. Mr.. MaginniS op-
posed the motion on the ground that
Montana needs immigrants. He also
pointed out that anarchists and other
dangerous foreigners are often well ed
ucated. MIR. Stapleton said education
was not an infallible sign of ability,
honesty or merit. There was consider
able confusion and excitement over
the debate. The motion was finally
voted down by large majority.
Only eleven members voted for it.
The question of woman suffrage came
up next, and also created much inter-
est. The galleries were filled with la
dies. Mr.. Rockford moved to leave the
subject to the legislature. Many
speeches were mada for and against the
motion, and all were literally ap-
p lauded. The motion, namely: That
the legislature be empowered to submit
the question of universal suffrage to a
popular vote every four years was
finally defeated "a to 29. The session
then adjourned,

Sensational Indictment of Co

Sensational Indictment of Col.
Fletcher, on Trial by Court Mar
tial.
Special to the Globe.
OMAHA. Neb., July 25.-This morn
ing at 10 o'clock the court martial ap-
pointed to determine whether Col. G. a.
Fletcher had transgressed the regula-
tons of the army, met at Fort Omaha.
Owing to the prominence of Col.
Fletcher and the sensational character
of the charges preferred, this is one of
the most interesting trials which has
taken place in the army for many years.
Arranged about long table in the
order of the rank, in full-dress uni
forms, with aigulettes looped over their
breasts and the insignia of their rank
emblazoned IN the knots on their shoul-

Bache. medical department; Maj. John
w. Barriger, subsistence department;
Maj. Albert Hartsuff, medical depart
ment; Maj. James F. Randlett, Ninth
cavalry; Maj. Adna r. Chaffee, Ninth
cavalry. The accused, Col. Fletcher,
sat at the right Of the judge advocate
together with his counsel. After the
members of the court had taken their
seats there was an awful silence for
few minutes, broken only by the tread
of the sentinel at the entrance. Col.
Fletcher lost himself in the documents
before him, the members of the court
gazed pensively out of the windows,
the reporters bent over their tablets,
and the orderlies looked longingIy
toward their company headquarters,
where their comrades were Iounging.
Finally Capt. Porter arose and called
the court to order. The judge
advocate then asked the accused
II he objected to any member
of the court martial and Col. Fletcher
answering ''no," the oath was duly adj
ministered to the members of the court.
The judge advocate then read the
charges against Col. Fletcher, which,
In brief, are as follows:
First Charge Conduct unbecoming soldier
and agentleman. Specification l. In publicly
charging his wife with undue intimacy
with DR.. Henderson, assistant post surgeon,
while he was attending the family .profes
sionally. Specification 2. In publicly charg-
ing his wife with committing adultery with
Capt. c. A. Dempsey. Specification 3. In
lying by denying the charge to Capt.
Dempsey. Specification 4. In perjury by
asserting before God that he had
not circulated these reports. Specification
3. That he called together the officers of the
regiment and acknowledged that he had lied
Charge Second.-That Col Fletcher, while
commandant Of the post, ran away from
Surgeon Henderson through the back door
OF his dOmicile, thereby exposing himself to
the ridicule of the officers and men of the
regiment. Specification /. That while
commandant of the post he allowed himself
to be knocked down by Surgeon Henderson,
and did not exercise the dignity of his Office
by placing the said Henderson under arrest.
After the reading of the charge, Col
Fletcher was called upon to plead. and
in an emphatic tone, answered ''nOt
guilty. to each charge and specification.
The judge advocate then read tele-
gram he had received from Mrs. Col.
MacFarland, in which the lady stated
that owing to the illness of her son, she
would be detained in Philadelphia until
Friday and could not reach here until
Sunday. He therefore asked an ad-
journment until Monday morning. An

PlNING FOR FREEDOM.
Martin Burke's Appeal Case Ar

gued and Decision Reserved.
Special to the Globe.
Winnipeg, Man., July 25.-The grounds
set out in the rule to show cause why
Burke should be discharged from Gus
tody are: That there is no evidence to
show that Martin Burke, alias Martin
Delaney, alias Frank Williams, alias
W. j. Cooper, committed a crime for
which he can be eXtradited un-
der the extradition act. The
Judge who committed the pris-
oner for extraditiOn committed him
upon the ground of his being an acces-
sorry to an alleged crime before the fact,
and an accessory is not eXtraditable
under the eXtradltlOn treaty in force
with the United States and the laws and
statutes relating to eXtraditiOn; that
the alleged depositlons of witnesses
taken in Chicago are not genuine, not
in proper form, not properly authenti-
Gated, nor admissible in trial for ex-
tradition; that the evidence taken in
Winnipeg was not taken under or pur-
Suant to information against the priS-
Oner, and that the information charges
an accessory, and the evidence only sup
The case was argued before the full
court to-day and judgment reserved.
A shrewd-looklng little man, with a
wealth of white hair flowing down over
his neck, and clean shaven face, ar
rived in the city yesterday on the
Northern Pacific express, and registered
as William Kenny, Appleton. Wis.
After getting dinner he set out to find
Burke's lawyers, and was closeted
with them for long period during
the afternoon and evening. He de-
clined talking to reporter. Mr. Camp
bell stated, however, that Kenny was
lawyer in Appleton, Wis, and that he
(CampbelD had asked him to take an in
terest in the Burke case and that he was
doing so.
"That ls," said Mr.. Campbell, "on the
understanding that there is to be some
pay attached to it,"
1t is not likely Mr.. Kenny will take
any part in the proceedings here. He
will learn all he can from watching the
case here so that when it comes up in
Chicago he may be familiar with it.
