LAST DAY AT CLIFTON.

Four Favorites Badly Beaten-Barnum
CleverIy Wins the McGowan Handicap.
The attendance at the Clifton race
track yesterday was a very large one,
despite the threatening weather, and a
somewhat heavy track for the horses to
run over, this upsetting all the calcula-
tions of the talent, who, earlier in the
day, had invested their money on their
fancies in city books. Scratches were
numerous, and the fields much
reduced in consequence. With a heavy
fall of rain as the horses went
to the post for the third race, the ardor of
spectators was considerably cooled
down. Barnum was made a strong favor
lite for the MCGOWAN Handicap, and,
being suited by the heavy condition of
the track, he landed the purse cleverly,
amidst some of the old time enthusiasm,
shown the veteran son of Bonnie Scot
land and Charlotte Thompson. Alto
gether the day was a bad one for hackers
of favorites, as but one out of five were
seen in the lead of the days racing. The
following are the results
The first race was a dash at five furlongs
for three-year olds selling allowances.
Eight horses started, with Little Jake the
favorite. Little Barefoot won cleverly by

dlehead for a place, 4.70.
Second race, at six and a half furlongs,
for four-year-olds and upward. Six horses
went to the post, with Trifier a strong
favorite at 9 to 10. Young Duke, who was
well backed in the books, won after O
good race by half a length. Trifier was
second, ten lengths in front of Nina W.,
third. Time, 1:23L. Mutuels paid $6.40;
for a place, S3.05; Trifier, for a place,
S2.65.
The next event was at seven furlongs
for three year olds and upward selling
allowances, and had the large field of
twelve starters, with Crusader fayorite.
He cut up very badly in the race, Raveller
winning after a sharp struggle by Il neck,
with Pirate second, a head in front of OBJ
elisk third. Time, 1.311. Mutuels paid
S13.70 for a place, S7.35; Pirate for a place,
S6.35.
Fourth Race-McGowan Handicap;
purse $500, Of which 500 to second; one
mile and a sixteenth. Six horses faced
the starter, with Barnum the favorite.
Littlefellow II. from the start. made the
pace, with Barnum and Elgin next. Elgin
and LittIefellow III. then alternated in the
lead until well along the backstretch,
where Barnum drew out and won handily
by a length. Brian Boru was second,
three lengths in front of Ten Booker,
third. Time, 1.49I. Mutuels paid $4.05;
for a place, $3.50; Brian Boru for a
place, ST..

at six and a half furlongs, for which a
small field, but q good class of horses,
started. Pericles was made the favorite

J.. OBJ. in the stretch drawing away and
winning cleverly by half a length.

GOOD PRICES FOR WOOL.
More of the Severance Clip Arriving
Every Day.


More of the Severance Clip Arriving
Every Day.
Mr.. 3. g. Maclay sold his clip of wool
yesterday to H. M. Martin, realizing the
top price. When it is learned at Boston
that this clip is en- route to the seaboard,
the market which has maintained its
strength SO we'll to the present time, may
be materially affected. A surplus at the
great wool centers is not desirable and
with this fact in mind it might have been
policy for Mr.. Maclay to divide his clip
and send it forward at intervals. But,
then, he has promised to blow in the en-
tire proceeds of the sale at the wool
growers banquet, and on that account
our growers can we'll afford to take all
risks that may attend the sale and ship
ment of that clip of two whole sacks.
Another lot of Severance s. Co.'S wool
arrived today.
Smith & Ulm sold their large clip yes
terday to Fl. M. Martin for 2216 cents.
Cowell & Cox sold their wool last even
ing to Mr.. Walker of Justice Bateman &,
Co., for 90 Z 8 cents per pound.
j T. Armington, the extensive sheep
owner, is in the city. Early in the sea-
son he offered his clip at 2111a cents, but
is now consigning it and would not ac-
cept the big figures wool commands at
present.

CARRIED OFF.
THE BODY OF THE MURDERER W.T.
BER, DISAPPEARS.
The Remains no Longer Desecrate the
Highland Cemetery-Ignominy ,.
... Pursues the Murderer to
the Grave. ...-

The public will be startled at learning
that the body of James WILDER has disap-
peared. Some one walking near the
grave of the murderer noticed that the
earth had been disturbed. This led to
further search. The coffin was raised
and was found to be empty. Where it
has gone to no one in authority seems to
know or care. All that can be learned is
that Mr.. Powers was entrusted with the
burial of the murderer's body as soon as
the coroner's jury had viewed it. The
undertaken placed the remains in plain
coffin and conveyed them to potters' field
in the Highland cemetery. There ''un-
honored and unsung" the body of the
murderer and suicide was buried.
Few cared to inquire what had become
of the body of the human monster. 1t is
understood that the medical profession
could have had it for surgical purposes,
but they declined the offer, deeming it
perhaps unlucky to make use of it even
for such purposes.
1t is surmised that the carcass was car
ried off by some one who was reused to
indignation at thinking that it was al
lowed place in the cemetery where the
remains of the pure and innocent repo.e.
1t could not be said that the body was in
the cemetery proper, but people are not
likely to make such distinctions.
1t looks as if public execration pur-
sued the murderer to the grave.
Certainly the details which have come
to light add more horror to Wilber's char
acter and make people wish that he had
undergone the full penalty of the law
with all the ignomy which the scaffold
could add to it.
1t is recalled that the common law in
old times, marked suicide out for special
execration. The goods of the self-mur-
derer were forfeited and he was denied
burial in consecrated grounds with Chris
tian rites. To stamp the offence with pc
culiar adherence, the body Of the suicide
was buried in the night time and at the
crossing of two highways. Tradition
says that even a stake was driven through
the body so that no one might easily re-
move it. Whatever has been the fate of
Wilber's body none regret that it will no
longer desecrate the cemetery where the
ashes Of the good and virtuous should be
free from such contamination.

MUCH INQUIRY FOR WOOL.

PHILADELPHIA, July 4.-The week has
developed considerable inquiry for wool,
far more than can be inferred from the
aggregate amount OF sales. There has
been great deal of pickering and hag-
Cling over lots, and many sales have fall
en- through when concession of one land
in some instances one-half cent would
have perfected them. Buyers are show
ing their hands-they need woodland
sellers feel that they have the upper
hold. There has been fair demand for
fleece wool.
The market continues in about the
same quiet condition as noted in the pre-
vious review. The condition of stocks,
which are in comparatively small supply,
is bar to very extensive transactions
The woods are beginning to come IN in
proper quantities, and it will not be long
before the stock in store will be sufficient
ly large and diversified to draw the buy
ers to the market. .u" u

SOMEWHAT ALARMED,

New York, July 4.-The market con
tinues in rather an unsettled condition,
and is trying on the nerves of the dealers,
who feel that there is too much risk in
loading up at the prices which the grow
ers demand.
It is safe to say that the prices now rul
ing in the seaboard market are warranted
and should hold, but there is danger in
anything beyond these. ~"

dicate prices beyond the ability of this
market to sustain. We hear that the

at 35 cents, and the purchase includes

THIRTEEN car loads Of ore went to the

probably came from the Cnur A. Alene

from all directions, we believe it would
be better for all concerned if Montana
ores were consumed In Montana. The
use of Barker ores would keep the money
at home and provide business for Mon

that the Belt mountains railroad will be
built soon.
