Last night the attendance at the exhibi-
ton given by Professor J. McKeown, the
champion horse-trainer. was the largest
for the week. There were many ladies in
the audience. and all went away well
pleased. The wild, runaway horse. be-
longing to Mr.. Sukeforth, was brought in
for his second lesson, and to the surprise of
those who witnessed his fight the night be-
fore. he was as docile as an old plow-horse
and faced the Salvation Army music. as
the Professor calls his drums, bells. kettles
and pans. without finching. He also
brought into the ring large, powerful and
high-strung mare for new subject. She
made quite fight, but in short time
yielded gracefully. and locked around quiz

Judge Buckley Holds Him to Answer on
Serious Charge.
In the Police Court yesterday morning
John Roland was called to answer 10
charge of burglary. From the evidence
brought out in the examination it appears
that Roland was quite friendly with Hans
Nielsen, who lives on the east side of Tenth
street, between ] and K.
On Sunday evening Roland called to see
Hans at the latter's room. Not finding his
friend in Roland proceeded to break into
the room, taking pair of blacksmith tongs
and Withdrawing staple which held the
hasp of the lock. Once in the room he
made a survey of the surroundings and
began to figure what he could appropriate.
He spread a couple of pair of blankets on
the floor, and bundled into them two over
coats, couple of suits of clothing razor
and strop, bunch of keys, wall bracket,
and in fact everything of movable nature
that he could lay his hands upon He
carefully wrapped the buAdle up and tied
1t with ropes, and walked deliberately out
the front door and to his room in hotel
some three blocks distant.
When Nielsen returned in the evening
he missed his wardrobe and also a couple
of notes for $100 each. He was consider
ably excited, and when a friend told him
that Roland had been seen around there
and also going down street with big
bundle, Nielsen at once made up his mind
that Roland was the thief. The next day
he informed the officers, and by noon the
thief was in jail and all the plumber found
in his room.
In the Court yesterday he said it was all
intended for joke. He intended to re-
turn the things to Nielsen after the latter
had been annoyed sufficiently, so as to
have some sport with him. He could not
account, however, for one of the stolen
vests being packed away neatly among his
clothes in his own trunk When asked
about that, he replied that sit must have
got there by mistake
Judge Buckley evidently did not see the
point to the joke, as he held Roland to
answer to the Superior Court with bail
fixed at $1,000.
The charge of grand larceny against J F.
Johnson was dismissed, the Court being
satisfied that there was not sufficient
grounds to convict. Charles Field, hockey
pokey dealer, was convicted of an assault
with deadly weapon and vagrancy.

A MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY.
"A Negro Who, Not Reading, Can
DO ANYTHING in Numbers.

Sam Summers, the negro prodigy, was
i'll Shelbyyille yesterday, and, as usual,
entertained large crowd, who were
testing him with all kinds of mathe-
NAUTICAL problems. Summers is colored
man thirty-four years old, without the
slightest education. He can not read or
write, and does not know one figure
from another. He is common. every
day farm hand, and to look at him and
watch his actions, he seems to be about
half-witted, hut his quick and invaria-
bly, correct answer to any example in
arithmetic, no matter how difficult, is
simply wonderful. With the hundreds
of tests that he has submitted to, not
single time has he failed to give the
correct answer in every instance.
Some examples given him on yester-
day were: How mnch gold can be
bought fer S792 in greenbacks if gold is
worth S1.65? Multiply 597.312 by 1879.
If grain of wheat produces seven
grains. and these be soWn the second
year, each yielding the same increase.
how many bushels will be produced at
this rate in twelve years if 1000 grains
make pint? Ii the velocity of sound
is LIP feet per second, the pulsation of
the heart seventy per minute, after see
ing flash of lightning there are twenty
pulsationS counted before you hear it
thunder. what distance is the cloud
from the earth, and what is the time
after seeing the flash of lightning until
you hear the thunder? A commission
merchant received seventy bags of
wheat, each containing three bushels,
three pecks and three quarts; how many
bushels did he receive? And so ON.
With Robinson's, Rays and other
higher arIthmeties before them, those
who have tested him as yet have been
unable to find any examples that, with
a few moments thought on his part, be
is not able to correctly answer.
