PROCTOR KNOTT TO BE SOLD.
The Great Kentucky Horse to Go
to ST. LOuis

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 12.-Unless
one of the parties back out. Proctor
Knott will change owners tomorrow.
W. L. Cassiday, of st. Louis, and Sam
Bryant met at the Calf house this after
noon and Cassiday made direct offer of
5000 for Knott. This is the price Bryant
has been holding the great gelding at
all the time. Bryant. however, said he
wanted little time to think over the
offer, and further negotiations were
postponed until Monaay. Friends of
Bryant say he will let the horse go at
that figure. Cassiday yesterday
offered $4,000 to F. B. Harper
for Valuable, Lavina Belle and
Libretto, which offer Harper at
once accepted. To-day, however.
Cassidy, after his talk with Sam Bryant,
backed out of the Harper deal. Harper
was not anxious to sell because he loves
his horses. Arrivals from Nashville to-
night bring some gossip from there. j.
W. Guest has taken his three-year-Old
colt, Heron, out of the hands OF the
Chicago stable people, who have been
training him, and will turn him over
toll ZEE Paul, who trained Terra Gotta. A
heavy rainstorm tonight leaves the
track muddy for tO-mOrrOw's races, but
if no more wet comes down it will be
magnificent for the Clark stake on Tues
day. Proctor Knott and Spokane will
certainly start in this, as we'll as Out
bound, Once Again, Sportsman. HindoO-
craft and Robin Hood. Murphy will
probably ride Knott, while Tom Kiley
will have the mount on Spokane. The
race will equal, if not eclipse the Derby.

WHERE is CRONIN?
New York Irishmen Getting Ex-
cited Over Him,

New YORK. May 13.-The Morning
Journal has the following: The feeling
among Irish Nationalists in this city
over the mysterious disappearance of
Dr. p. FL. Cronin, of Chicago, grows
deeper from day to day. The belief
that the doctor was murdered
finds many more believers now than
when the news first came, and
the persistent insinuations telegraphed
from Chicago on the authority of un-
named persons, that Cronin was a Brit
ish spy, are regarded by some as en-
anating from those responsible for his
disappearance. A conference of lead
Ing Irish NatiOnalists was held yester-
day, at the residence of one of the num-
Der, for the purpose of taking steps to
counteract the effects of what they term
an ''orgaDiZed system of misrepreSenta-
ton" regarding the circumstances of
the doctors disappearance. ir which
they charge that some Chicago CORE
spondents are lending helping hand.
The following letter, written to one of
those present by John f. Scanlan, of
fact staring us in the face that Cronin
was decoyed away, and the firm convic-
lion that he is dead, our friends
are met on the streets by
The gang, whose faces are
wreathed, not in smiles, but in

gone to London to testify against Par

aies, lies, and every morning we are met
by new batch of them in the news
papers. You know, as we here do, that
CrOnin never went OH spree, that his
moral character was good, that he was
not friend or
I. COMPANION OF LIE CARON,
but that, on the contrary. LIE Caron was
one of the very gang who are now cir
culating these stories, and that they
alone are responsible for the spy. But
everybody does not know this, and some
tools Of the gang On the press are work
any mlgnu anu man to deceive lne puO-
lie. The consequence is that large
portion of the public do not look at the
serious side of the case and regard II
as Joke. Letters from other

A REIGN OF TERROR
In a Southern Village Results
From a Free Fight

From Free Fight.
New ORLEANS, May 12.-On Tuesday
evening last free fight occurred in
Gretna, opposite this city. between
members of the Mechanics fire company
(white)and number of negroes. Several
shots were fired and knives were
used. The negroes finally fled in the
darkness, when it was found that two
white men, r. Rau and Hillary Roberts,
had been seriously stabbed. George
Lombard and one Neill (colored) were
accused of doing the stabbing. The
affair created great excitement among
the whites of the place, and bad
fight was termed a riot on the part of
the negroes, who outnumber the whites
by about five to one. Friday the negroes
had picnic, and report was freely
circulated that the negroes would
take advantage of the occasion to
precipitate riot. A large police
force from this city was sent over,
but the riot did not come off
Last night, however, or early this morn
ing, sO-called riot did occur. About
one o'clock fire broke out in the Good
Intent (colored) engine house. People
on this side of the river tlocked to the
Jackson street ferry. Quite large
crowd collected. and a majority
of them crossed over. Upon arriving
at Gretna they were met by dele
cation of Gretna military, who escorted
them to the scene of the fire. A col
cred military cOmpany's arsenal adjOin-
ing the engine house ignited and two
buildings were entirely consumed. One
of these houses was occupied by G. F.
Brown, colored member of the legis-
lature. Every effort was made to get
him to come out of the house, but he
feared to face the
ARMED WHITES.
They did not harm him, however, but
assisted in saving his household effects.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but is
believed to have been the work of an in
cendiary. Several negrOs refused to
leave the burning buildings with their
families until their clothing began to
scorch from the heat. Several escaped
through back windows. going through
the barn, ,and then ran down the railroad
track. After getting way some dis
tance, these were fired at by whites, but
promiscuous firing. however, three ne
grOes were wOunded-Charley Hotter.
dangerously: Charles Prosper, shot in
the arm. and another. shot in the back.
During the conflagration large num-
Der of white men, armed with shot
guns, rifles and pistols. congregated
around the scene and prevented any
negro from coming within 100 yards Of
the fire. The only engine in Gretna
broke down early in the action. The
fire finally died out for want of further
material. While the smouldering en-
bers were dying out, armed squads scat
tered promiscuously around the town
and entered number of negroes
cabins, ostensibly in search of arms.
Inducements from the city, were still
in an excited state and anticipated
trouble. From 2 to o'clockeverything
remained quie.. The negroes were at
home and among them reign or terror
prevailed. Colored women and chill
dren have been leaving Gretna all day
for this city, taking with them such
clothing and household effects as they
could carry. Many of them left the
village before daylight.

Old Nathan Corwith Beaten
Out of His Money by His
Own Son,
Who Sold His Fathers Lead
and POcketed Over a Mill
ion Dollars.
The Parent the While Believ-
ing He Had the Lead
in Store.
Prominent Jersey Railroad
Man Arrested--Two Men
Killed at a Dance.

CHICAGO, May 12-Strange disclos-
hres followed tonight when it was an
nounced that Nathan Corwith ST., has.
been very i'll in this city, and that his
death might occur at any minute. Cor
with, year ago, was the richest lead
merchant in America, if not in the
world. The approach OF death caused
inquiries. which resulted in obtaining
the heretofore unknown story OF his
sudden descent to poverty, as told by
one of his former associates. The
supposition has been that Corwith's
gigantic failure in business was solely
the result of on ill-timed attempt to cor
ner the lead supply of the world. AS
now revealed, the real reason was al
most a repitition of the plot i'll the play
of "The Henrietta" EX-County Com
missioner Donnersberger, who exam
ined the books of Corwith after the fail
ure. is the source of the new informa-
ton. The facts as related are, in brief,
that Corwith's every move in specula-
tion was being ''coppered" with his own
capital by his own son, Gurdon Corwith,
and that before
THE INEVITABLE CRASH
came S1,1OO,OO0 had been withdrawn
from the old mans Golfers and sunk in
operations In which the younger Cor
with had become hopelessly involved.
Young Corwith was at the time metal
broker in New York, and induced the
father to believe that he had exclusive
information regarding plans of the
French copper syndicate as to lead.
Corwith Sr. was in poor health, and al
lowed the son unusual leeway. Until
the actual collapse was reached, Cor
with believed that he had an enormous
amount of lead on hand and paid for,
when the fact was that the lead pur-
chased had been already sold and the
proceeds utterly wiped out by young
Corwith's operations. Donnersberger
and other close friends of the elder Cor
with were called to New York, and,
in face of opposition from Gurdon Cor
with. discovered, after closely analyZing
the books and tracing up consigDments,
the real state of affairs. Young Corwith
was placed in confinement by the in
Vestigators, but afterwards released;
and the father shouldered the burden,
making whatever settlement was possi-
BILE. The ailment from which old
Nathan Corwith has been suffering, the
doctors say, is heart trouble.

Comptroller Trenholm Swaps
Stipends With His Assistant.

WASHINGTON, May ia Sunday
paper publishes a story to refute the ac-
cusation that Comptroller Trenholm
has been drawing his pay without earn
ing it for some months. 1t says: HE
made proposition to his assistant, Mr..
Abrahams, that he act in his stead and
receive therefor his (the comptroller's)
salary in addition to his own. Mr..
Abrahams would not consent to this,
but upon Mr.. Trcnholm's assurance
that he would be ready and willing at
all times to assist him in the discharge
of his duties until an appointment was
made, it was arranged that they should
exchange salaries, the deputy to take
his chiefs, and the comptroller to take
his assistants, and this arrangement
has been in effect ever since Colonel
Trenholm's departure for New York.
The salary of the comptroller is 5000
per annum, and that of his assistant
$2,SOO per annum. Mr.. Abrahams has
been in almost daily communication
with Mr.. Trenholm in regard to the
business of the Office, and has been gov
