The races, an eye witness tells us.
that took place on the Opelousas race
course, on the 4th and 5th insts., were
numerous, but the horses, with few
exceptions, were not very fast. But
little money was bet, and consequently
there was not much excitement. The
fastest trotting, one mile, was done by
?. d. Williams brown stallion, King
William, in $40; and it is thought
that, with practice and training, he
can do it in $40. The track is new,
but it is in good condition and there
is no reason, with the well bred Young
stock that is coming on in this Sec
tion, why it should not be well
patronized in the near future.

MitchelI's CowardIy Blow.

The disgraceful fracas between Charley
Mitchell and Lord Viscount Vaudeville at
the Trocadero, in London. is still the main
topic of discussion in sporting circles. Man.

of the affray as follows:
'We went into the Trocadero about IL o'clock
and we were there joined by Charley Mitchell
Shortly man in the front row of stalls began
flourishing Jem Smiths colors. At first Mitchell
took no notice of the demonstration until the
man threw the colors over his shoulder This
seemed to infuriate Mitchell, and he suddenly
turned upon Baird, shouting at the top Of is
voice: You done this for me and I'll give YOU
a good poke in the eye for it, accompanying
his threats with gesture as though he were
about to strike. l pushed him back and said:
Don't be fool Charley; keep quiet Matters

NEW TRIAL FOR CRoNIN CONvICTs,
A Multitude of Objections Put Forth as
Ground For Another Trial,

Yesterday afternoon Attorneys Wing. Dona-
hoe and Forest filed a motion for a new trial
in the cases of Coughlin, Burke, O'Sullivan and
Kunze, convicted of the murder Of DIR. Cronin.
The motion was filed in accordance with the
order of Judge Mcconnell before whom the
arguments will be made Monday. The motion
assigns thirty-nine causes of error in the ruling
OF Judge Mcconnell during the trial of the case.
The grounds of alleged error embrace every
point contested by the attorneys for the de-
Tense and range from an objection to the
courts overruling the motion to quash the in
dictment upon the assertion that the defense
has since the trial discovered new evil
dence which entities them to a new trial.
The refusal of the court to permit the defense
to show that Messrs. Mills, Imam and Hynes
were employed in the prosecution by private
parties who were actuated by improper mo-
tives is alleged to have been prejudicial to the
defendants and therefore an error. Side re-
marks made by the states attorney while ex-
amining jurors ale charged to have been i'm
proper. 1t is charged that improper remarks
OF counsel for the state excited the passions
and prejudices of the jurors against the defend
ants. 1t also charges that to permit the prose-
cution to introduce as evidence and exhibit to
the jury the clothing, instruments and hair of
DIR. Cronin, the false teeth. the trunk and all
the material evidence in the case, was error.
The introduction Of DIR. Cronins knives after
the state had closed its case is said to have
been in error. The verdict is pronounced AZ
contrary to law and not justified by the evil
dence, and finally it is said that the defend
ants and each one OF them have discovered evil
dence which entities them to . new trial"

When Eva Lee Tardy of Lynchburg. Va,
made her debut in the higher social life of
Washington as the bride of William McAdoo
one of New Jerseys brightest national legisa-
tors. she was received with loveable hospitality
by the young mistress of the executive mansion
during the late regime.
There a sympathy of womanly tender
ness and affection between the young daughter
of New York who had risen by the nuptal
altar to the first social place in the executive
and the Virginia beauty, who. by the same
sacramental bond had taken her position in
the social circle of the Representatives. The
daughter of Samuel C. Tardy, at one time the
largest merchant in Virginia and more recently
the proprietor of the Ha Springs of the old
dominion, became at once great favorite. The
favor of Mrs. Cleveland was shown in the
frequency of her invitations to luucheons and
the informal summons to a quiet visit to the
executive mansion.
During the late administration Mrs. McAdoo
received many social attentions. The Repreeen-
tative, who was recognized as one of the bright
est men in the House. was also very much
sought in polite entertainments on account of
his brilliant conversational gifts.
Although in the overturnings of politics
changes have taken place in the personnel of
the controlling social elements Representative
and Mrs. McAdoo are among the most welcome
guests upon the neutral ground OF polite and
ceremonial hospitality.

The Parnen Letter Stolen,

Parnells letter to the board of guardians of
Ennis, County Clare, Ireland, has been stolen
by some parties unknown since the road board
meeting on Wednesday last, and great excite

grand jurors of the general quarter sessions,
held at Ennis, un animously express our un-
bounded confidence in Mr.. Parnell, the I'M
daunted advocate of Irelands best interests.

and dissatisfaction among the nationalists, and

PunXSutawney Miners Evicted.

There were only two families of the striking
miners evicted at Punxsutawney yesterday, one
Hungarian and.one Italian. There was consider
able excitement, but no violence. After the
sheriff. accompanied by thirty-three Pinker-
tons armed with Winchesters, had thrown out
an Italian family at Walston, about 800 of their
countrymen collected and began yelling and
hrlng into the air. About 200 shots were fired
and they were getting more excited as the
music OF their revolvers increased. This hap
pened about o'clock in the afternoon. Master
Workmen Wilson went among them and told
them they must keep quiet and not break the
peace or they would ruin the cause. Wilson
says that 1t is mis- sincere conviction that had
he not appeared on the scene when he did there
would have been one of the bloodiest riots
ever seen in this country. The evicted families
are being taken in by their friends The min
ers agents are taking care of their effects and
making preparations to house and feed them if
necessary

BRICE MAY BE BEATEN,
A Combination of Circumstances Which
May Defeat the Millionaire.

The Columbus Dispatch said yesterday after
noon: Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Brice received the unanimous vote of the
caucus he may be defeated for Senator owing
to the fact that the democrats have only five
majority on joint ballot one of which is
Knapp of Defiance, who is now dead, and
Lawler of Franklin, who is not expected to
live through the day. and three of which ma
jority, Munson of Licking, Kouns of Shelby
and Smith of Franklin did not attend the eau
Gus. 1t will be readily seen if these three men,
bers fail to support the nominee of the caucus
the state of Ohio may be represented by re-
publican in the Senate
Columbus dispatch adds: There have been
several rumors in circulation relative to a pro-
posed bolt of the caucus which nominated Col
Calvin S. Brice for the Senate. There were
seventy-three members at the caucus ard three
democrats did not appear. They Smith of
Franklin, Munson OF Licking and Kouns Of
Shelby. 1t is reported they will not vote for
Brice. KOuns is in Columbus and refuses to
talk. Munson went home yesterday morning
One report is that he will vote for Brice and
another that he will bolt. A double healed ex-
preston has also been received from Smith for
and against Brice. The situation at least
has created uneasiness. Those who ought
to know the facts not talking for publica-

Hancock having sent note to the caucus that
he would support the nominee.
There are II republicans, and if the three al
legged boilers join them they would have the
same number Of votes the democrats The
claim Is made that Brice will have to secure a
majority of all the members elected to the leg
islature, which would be 76. The Brice man

which cuts the number of democratic members
to a. and the three alleged boilers still reduces
| the available strength to "a. Col. Brice and
his advisers seem but very little disturbed over
| the report and say the three members will sup
port the caucus nominee and that it is an in
justice to charge them with entertaining an
idea of boiling the caucus in the interest of
| any other democrat or republican. An cleo
ton to fill the Knapp vacancy will be ordered
by Gov. Campbell next week, but this will re-
quire about thirty days. Gov. Foraker refused
| to issue proclamation today on the ground
that Knapp had not been buried.
