again to-day. Rev. T. L. Jordon, of Mis-

that the colored people cultivate friendly

President Love made speech re-telling
the story of the assault on himself and said
the passage of the resolutions would make
it appear that there had been no outrages,
and that he had made false statement.
This caused much excitement, and the votes
were reconsidered and the resolutions

Members of the Mississippi delegation in

A STORY OF THE TURF.
How Tompkins. the ex-Journalist, Is Making q
Great Success at Racing.

How Tompkins, the ex-Journalist, Is Making a
Great Success at Racing.
Especial to THE HRRALD-Examiner Dispatch ]
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.--There is romance
handicap. The owner of Hindoo Craft is
the same Mr.. Tompkins whom the read
ers of the Examiner will remember as hav-
ing been an Evening Sun reporter.
The story of his fortunes read so much
like romance that many newspaper men
refused to credit it. Examiner readers will
also remember that Mr.. Tompkins pro-
posed to start a stable of his own. Events
have proved this was no empty bluff. The
winning of the Budget handicap is an earn
est of what may be expected from this re-
markable young mans quick and sound
judgment.
Tompkins bought the colt at the Scoggin
sale on the first day of the meeting. There
was some hitch about the engagements,
and the sale was not consummated until
Thursday night Fortunately, the colt was
kept in good shape, and as Mr.. Tompkins
was nearly confident he could win he was
not afraid to put up his money and the re-
suit was he won him out in his first race.
This result is due, as his wife at the press
table said, ''to the four-leaved clover he
carried on his back" AS she was wearing
similar ornament she probably knew how it
was herself. Although Mr.. Tompkins has
given up journalism, the little woman who
has been his balance wheel in perilous
business, has not. She writes articles for
the New York World of sporting charac-
ter, but very dainty and excellent in tone
and style, and is making quite as much, if
not more, on space than he did Tomplzins'
career is more of a wonder than ever to old
trackmen, who are asking each other how
he does it all in the hope of catching on
themselves.

MIR. Forrest answered that the special
venire for iuries should be stopped, that
the jury clerk of the county board should
be ordered by the court to supply the
names Of several hundred qualified voters,
and that from these names, thoroughly
mixed IN proper receptacle, jurors be
drawn. The prosecution strongly opposed
this plan and the court refused to consider
1t. Mr.. Forrest then left the room, much
angered. On the way down Mr.. Mills re-
marked that everything was being done as
honestly and fairly as possible. No sooner
turned and savagely denounced Mills.
You are crook and jury briber," he
finally exclaimed, white with excitement.
A ballif who was present interfered, and
Messrs. Hynes and LongenecSer drew Mr..
Mills into the state attorneys office.

Mills, when questioned about the matter

No developments of interest were made

not single man accepted by both sides.

emptory challenges, the defense thirty six

The Storm Has Blown Over.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE storm has at
last blown over and the sun is shining.
The feeling of uneasiness in shipping
circles. as to the safety of many vessels at
sea during the storm, remains as keen as
ever. Several steamers and sailing vessels
are overdue, and as Geographic communi-
cation between here and number of ports
is still cut off, it is impossible to learn any
thing for the present. Communication
with Sandy Hook is all right again. No
less than score of storm delayed vessels
are reported as passed up toward quaran-
tine. All show evidence of having passed
through the storm.
1t is figured roughly 81, 900 damage
has been done by the wind and sea. The
number of vessels known to have been
wrecked greatly exceeds the first expect
atiOns of the shipping men, and many more
vessels are yet to be heard from.

. Panic at a Chicago Fire.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Between eight and
ten thousand people rushed pell neil out of
the exposition building tonight, falling
over each other going down stairs from the
galleries and many jumping through the
windows in their hurry to escape. A fire
had started in one of the big booths near
the centre of the huge structure and the
glare of the flames and the crash of
plate glass caused panic Men
women and children joined in the mad rush
for the exits, which were fortunately num-
erous enough to prevent fatal rushing
Within five minutes the excited thousands
of people were safe outside the structure
and few minutes thereafter the flames
were extinguished and one-fourth of the
exposition in ruins.
The damage to the building itself was
light and the art gallery wholly escaped
The losses of the exhibitions will reach
81, 500. No persons were reported seri-
ously injured though many doubtless suf-
fered minor hurts, and others had decidedly
disagreeable experiences. One young lady
and her escort were compelled to descend
from the roof. The fire was caused by an
ignited carbon falling from one of the
electric lights into pile of ribbons.

The Proposed searle- Gaudauer Race.

Especial to THE HERALD--Examiner Dispatch. !
New YORK, Sept. lin connection with
the proposed match between H. E. Searle,
champion of the world, and Jacob Gau-
dauer, of St Louis, the latter is willing to
row H. E. Searle on any lake in England
for 81 900 side, but dislikes the Thames
course. The champions friend and ad-
wiser, Chris Crane, stated that
he was prepared to match Searle
against Gaudauer either on the
Thames or the Tyne for $1,000 up to
e5, 600 side, and if for a larger sum he
would allow $500 for expenses. AS eau
dauers' hackers must be pretty well aware
that there is no suitable stretch of water
on any lake in England for sculling pur
poses, but if need be, Crane would not OBJ
ject to the Henley course being utilized
A match on these terms can be made to
take place on Monday, October 81.
