NOTES OF THE DAY.

One of the most interesting events of
10 day will be the gentlemen's race to
be run as the last event of the day.
There are eight entries, the names of
the horses and riders being as follows:
Daisy, l6S, Philip r.; Duke. 100, M.
Howe; Gopher, $50, A. ID. Cormick:
Barnum H.. $50, Ehle Allen; Riddle
baum, 10, A. Oppenheim Jr.; Lucy,
$50, S. Newport; Laurere, $50, George
l.. Bigelow; Dick, $50, &. F. Shearn.
Alarm Belle, Ireland Bros two-year-
old chestnut filly, showed in the victory
of yesterday a capacity for setting and
maintaining pace. She's a game ami
NAL, and her owners have prize III her,
fact of which they are probably well
aware.
There are lots Of people wondering
how much longer McGuigan'S faith in
his bay tilly entry will permit his enter
ing her for races all over the country.
The prevailing opinion with every one
but the owner seems to be that the tilly
is Jonah.
A good deal more fun could be ex-
tracted from the gentlemen's race by
adding four flights of hurdles to the
programme. The horses may be de-
pended on to do their best, and the
riders would, of course, enjoy it i'm
mensely.
Eilke and Taral together are hard
team at the post, and have made things
interesting for the starter since the
meeting opened. From all accounts the
starter has been retaliating to some
purpose. Fines of S25 soon count up.
Fosteral is to be sent home immedi-
ately. This will scarcely be sad news
to those who have staked their money
on his speed and powers during the
past five days.
Jones had better take lessons in riding
before he spoils good hOrseflesh by bad
handling. Barney Stone Jr will re-
member the finish of yesterday for some
time to come.
If Bally was trifle longer in the legs
he might ride with more effect, as he
could then reach far enough to use the
spur. He rode we'll yesterday. spur or
no spur.
Somerset didn't look up to his usual
form yesterday, and was not supported
with the freedom his previous perform
ances would warrant.
Ray is about as promising young
ster as any of the young riders on the
turf, and is game enough for anything.
Venango is still kicking her heels
within four walls. and Will get no show
to kill any one at this meeting.
Taral has the best seat of any rider
on the grounds, and is the pick of the
ladies in the boxes.
Crockett, the rider who was hurt by
Venango's falling on him last week, is
still an invalid,

And StOncy Montgomery Scored in
the West Hotel Handicap.
For the West Hotel handicap there
were SIX starters, and the race was the
prettiest of the day. Cassius got the
lead from the flag, with Taral in the
leather, Dad under Fox at his withers,
Somerset with Warwick up, a close
third, and Laura Davidson, the favorte,
bringing up the rear. At the quarter

at second place by a nose from Dad,
Cassius still first and LOngalight with
Raw up. who had been occupying fifth
place. making a splendid dash for a front
place. At the half Dad had the lead,
Cassius was second, Stoney Montgomery
third. Longalight fourth, and the ia
yorite still last. AT the stretch Taral
called on CaSSiuS for squirt, and again
went to the front, Laura Davidson hav-
ing made a surprising burst OF speed
and come up to third place. Twelve
lengths from home, Ray began to ram
cutting blows on the bay mares ShOul-
ders, and away she went to the front
winning by length from Stoney Mont
gomery, witt Cassius third, ana Laura
Davidson again last. When the field
were at the three-quarters, the whole
bunch were so close together as to make
1t impossible to distinguish them apart
The finish was well ridden, and shows
that LetCher'S mare is as good as she
was before the accident. Time, 1864.

SWEPT BY STORM.
Wind and Rain DO Great Damage
in Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July 29.-The
Gazette specials tonight give the
damages wrought by destructive wind
and rain storms, which swept over this
section last night. At GAINESVILLE the
streets were flooded, and the town
was in danger of being swept
away by the creek, which was out of
its banks. Many people took to
the hills and did not return until after
daylight, when the stream had gone
down. All the creeks were out Of their
banks, and overlooking the bottoms adj
jacent, running the crops, and it is very
naturally supposed the Arkansas river
will overflow it's banks and ruin the
fine cotton crops in the bottom lands.
The river had risen fourteen feet in the
and md was iU still rising ism At Fayetteville,
about midnight the clouds seemed to
come up from every point OF the COM
pass and met over this city, where they
hung for three long hours. During that
time it is safe to say there were more
''timid women and brave men, in the
attitude of prayer than ever before in
Fayetteville. The fearfulneSs and
grandeur of the scene beggars descrip-
ton. There was not
VIVID FLASH OF LIGHTNING
followed by keen clap of thunder, but
one sheet followed another in such
rapid succession that they made the
heavens so bright as to be painful and
binding to the eye, while the reports of
thunder that followed appeared to
shake the very foundations of the earth.
1t was simply awful, and it is most re-
markable that it continued thus for three
hours, during which time the rain fell in
torrents. The residences of Moses
Mock, Moses Baum, j. V. Walker. Mrs.
E. E. Wade, Rev. n. NJ. Ragland, Judge
B. J. Brown, and the livery stable of
Kell & Hangen, in which one horse
was killed, were struck by lightning.
The large barn of Capt. Thomas Brooks,
editor of the Fayetteville Repub-
lican, was set on file and de-
stroyed, together with large
quantity of grain and five fine
horses. The residence of Thomas Hol-
land, three miles from here, was blown
to atoms, and that of E. Graham, in the
same neighborhOod, was partly de-
stroyed. A number of streams are
higher to-day than ever before known.
The Frisco railroad bridge over the
White river is washed away, and crops
along the river are generally destroyed.
The loss to the farmers of this county
will be many thousand dollars.

THE OPENING RACE.
Thankful and Schoolgirl Get the
two Places

TIL e first bell to saddle rang with the
same promptitude which has been eX-
hibited all through the meeting, and the
first getaway OF the day was equally
prompt. When the flag fell, Lizzie B,
under Eilke, got the jump, and lit out a
length to the good of Alta, with Taral
up. JOu JGu was last from the post,
but made good running to the half, and
took fourth place at that point. In the
stretch Jou Jou had the lead, with Bally
getting all the speed there was in him
for the run home. Lizzie b was crack
ing along under severe punishment
from Eiike, at second place. Schoolgirl
was we'll up, but run to death, at third
place. Parkhill and Thankful, the lat
ter having been under pull until the
stretch, we're two and half lengths be-
hind the leaders. The field was punched
five lengths to the rear, with Vivian,

POISONED BY HIS PARENTS.
a Missouri Lad Killed by Doctored
Coffee.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July 29.-Luther
Genool, aged eighteen, died two weeks
ago from the effects of poison, which
lad been placed in his coffee at
breakfast. To-day the coroner's
jury rendered verdict hold
ing his stepfather and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fame, responsible
for his death. They were arrested,
and Mr.. Fame, IN an interview to-
night with the sheriff, made a confess
sion, in which he stated that he bought
the poison at his wife's request, who
placed it in her sons coffee. 1t was her
intention, he said, to poison the other
son, William, but fortunately he drank
no coffee on that morning. The motive
for the crime was Mrs. Fanne's desire
to get rid of her sons, who caused
trouble between herself and her hus-
band,

UNDER A CLOUD.
Denver Is Smoked Out by Forest
Fires in Montana.

DENVER, Col, July 29.-During all Of
yesterday and to-day heavy, smoky
atmosphere hung over Denver, giving
the sun the appearance of red ball of
fire, Information received from points
in this state and Wyoming, Northern
New Mexico and Western Kansas and
Nebraska, indicate that the same condi-
ton exists. AS it is too early for In
dian su miner, the impression is that it
is caused by immense forest fires some
where in the Rocky mountains, proba-
bly, in Montana.
GUNNIsoN, Col. July 29.-"For two
or three days the mountains in this
vicinity have been ablaze with burning
timber. The fire was discovered Fri
day afternoon last, at the head of Lost
Gulch. To the north of the gulch the
fire was seen raging along the top of a
well-timbered mountain. The air was
dense with black smoke, and on the fol-
lowing morning, as the sun rose, it
looked like ruby setting ina dark sky.
Yesterday afternoon the smoke was
again seen from the Marshall Pass dis
trict, and it was later learned from pas
sengers on the West-bound train that
the timber was afre below Shawnee.
1t is supposed to have been started from
sparks from passing locomotives"

her name was Annie Armstrong and
that she came from Green Bay. She
was brought to the Emergency hospital.
where she remained unconscious all

will insist upon continuance. Toward
Kunze the curiosity of the crowd was

Special to the GLOBE.
OMAHA, Neb., July 29.-The court
martial appointed to investigate the
charges preferred against Ex-Command-
ant Fletcher reconvened at Fort Omaha
this morning. Col. Fletcher came in
smiling, and to all outward appearances
hadn't care in the world. Mrs. Nc
Farland, a sister of Mrs. Fletcher, and
the principal prosecuting witness, was
placed on the stand. She is the wife OF
a Philadelphia merchant. She visited
her sister at the post last June. She
testified that she had heard Col. Fletcher
accuse his wife of infdelity, and had
known him to abuse her. Mrs. NC
Farland is pretty and polite, has large
blue eyes, which snapped as she scored
her military brother-in-laW. The de-
Tense asked Mrs. Mcfarland if she her
self had not met certain Omaha man
for an improper purpose. She denied
the destinations and resented them with
considerable vigor.

BISMARCK, July 29.-This has been
another day of rest in the constitutional
convention. A quorum was not present
at roll call this afternoon. and the con-
vention adjourned without the transac-
ton of any business. The chairmen of
the North and South Dakota commits
sions for the division of the territorial
property have been at work on the
basis decided upon by the joint COM
mission, and it is expected that the
work of the commission will be com
pleted in few days. The convention
will meet tomorrow afternoon, with
every member present, and big days
work is expected. Prohibition is max
ing no Roadway. Woman suffrage is
dead, and railroad taxation is the one
question which gives an opportunity
for fight. The railroads hope to pre-
serve the gross-earnings system, and
some of the firmer members of the con-
vention oppose it. The fur will fly dur
ing the remainder of the week.

Offices in Montana.
HELENA, Mont, July 29.-The con-
vention met at p. M, went into COM
mittee of the whole, and took up for
consideration the bill on executive de-
partments. The question arose whether
salaries should be fixed in the constitu-
ton, or it be made the power of the leg
lslature to fix officers compensation.
The motion was carried, leaving it to
the legislature for adjustment, as the
occasion demands. The salaries, as
specified, were: For governor.
$1,000; secretary, auditor, attorney
general and treasurer. each $4,000
yearly. An officials salary is not to be
increased during his term of office.
Richards moved that salaries should be
ample, thus giving poor men an even
chance of filling offices without personal
incumbrance. The efforts for reducing
salaries were defeated. The board of
pardonS recommended to be established
was carried by thecOmmittee.
