TO BEAT THE POOL ROOMS
A Spirited War Begun on the Western
Union by the New Jersey Jockey Club

The New York Sun yesterday SAYS: ''The
Western Union Telegraph Company will have
no facilities for sending away news from the
new track of the New Jersey Jockey club,
where the spring racing season opens today, it
beng President Dryers idea to strike the pool
rooms through their feeder With this end IN
view the entries for todays races have been
withheld and those who go to the track will re-
celve programs upon entering the course, Civ
ing the entries and weights for each event.
Now this racing business is one Of the chief
sources OF revenue. in fact it is the best paying
branch OF business in the service of the tele-
graph company, and they are not going to lay
oown without a struggle, as it was agreed at a
conference OF the officials yesterday to detail
astrong force OF operators to visit the track to-
day and have the results at all hazards. 1t will
De very easy matter to send twenty men to
Elizabeth. One can buy a program. hurry
from the track to wire. which may be con-
Veniently tapped, and within ten minutes the
entire entry list can be in the poolrooms of the
country, for this service is absolutely perfect re-
ports being sent simultaneously to all parts of
the country. After that it will be compare
lively easy matter for other men to secure the
hrst betting and jockeys; another can wait
for the post betting;' and yet another for the
result of the race. This can be repeated in
each race with fresh relay of men and it will
be difficult for the jockey club officials to locate
them. This some other scheme will be
played for ali it is worth today and the result
will be watched with interest all over the coun-
try. An idea of the amount of money there is
III this business of reporting the races for pool
rooms may be gathered from the fact that as
high as $500 day has been paid for the privi-
iege of sending away the betting and results
of each race"

Curious Date Figuring.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
The article Curious Date Figuring" re-
printed in The STAR of the 10th instant. from
the Providence Telegram, gives method of
finding the day of the week of any given date,
which Is correct within certain limitations. but
altogether erroneous O. a general rule. The
series of numbers proposed TO be added for the
several months must be changed with each CEN
fury throughout cycle of four centuries. when
the same set or series may again be used
Thus those given may be used again for the
twenty-third century. But even for the pres
ent century change must be made for dates
IN January or February in leap year and so in
the series for any century. Neither will this
rule or series hold good for dates .'old style. ;"
The facts of chronology seem to be but little
understood generally if one may judge by tie
frequency with which transformation is yolun-
feered in the public prints. CHRoNos.

FOUR CONVICTED MURDERERS.
Two of Them Under Sentence of Death
A Respite Expected.

There are four prisoners in Jail who have
been convicted of murder and in two Of the
cases the death sentence was imposed, the day
of execution being now fixed, by the respite OF
the President, for May 2, but another respite
is looked for. One case is that of the colored
boy Lewis Williams, who, it is charged. killed
ex-Policeman W. c. Alder October 2. 1887. by
striking him on the head with a brick near
Bennings. He was tried December 20 follow
ing and on the ed, the jury having been unable
to find Il verdict, was discharged. May q last
he was again put On trial and convicted the
following day and on June Is the motion
for new trial was overruled and the death
sentence imposed to be carried into effect jan
uary 81. An appeal 70 the Court in General
Term necessitated the fixing of the date some
months ahead and a subsequent respite and the
case being still IN the General Term there will
in all probability be a further respite. E. NJ
Hewlett IS the prisoners counsel.
The case of the colored man BENJAMIN Hawk
ins, convicted of the murder % his wife Cora
In South Washington, March IA, 1889. is in about
the same condition. lie was convicted May H.
and sentenced to be executed August 80. but an
appeal being made to the General Term the
sentence was suspended to January 81 Messrs
c. ~ Elliott and Meyer Selwin appeared for him.
The case of VIM. Briggs. colored. convicted
of the murder of Vim. Jones, the Court in GEN
~, 80" vi Iha! L last, SIahteu new trlal
This Is the case having its origin in dispute
over a pot May 3, 1888. and Jones was convicted
October 26 following. and the case went up to
the General Term OF bill of exceptions. The
last entry in this case was March II, a continu
ance for the term. Messrs. J. Med Darlington
and j. W. Walker appear for the prisoner.
Frederick Barber was convicted November
.. 1888, OF the murder OF Agnes Watson on
June % previously by throwing her into the
canal III Georgetown. Messrs. ID. +. Cahill
and a. W. Ferguson, his counsel. failing to Sc
cure new trial moved an arrest of Judgment

TWO LEVEES MAY GIVE WAY.
Ten Louisiana Sugar Parishes Threat
end With Flood, Involving $40, 900, 900.

There is considerable alarm in New Orleans
over the condition of Morgansea and Grand
ievees in Point Coupee parish, right bank If
either of these gives way, as is now feared,
some ten of the richest sugar parishes will be
inundated, causing loss of not less than 500
100000. Morgansea levee, which melted away
like snow in 49, is built of ordinary river sand
and the foundation is said to be quicksand
Hundreds of laborers are working on these two
important dykes day and night, but the news of
their failing to hold may come at any moment.
Large sums have been expended on these
works, money being freely given by the ten
threatened parishes, the Texas Pacific railway.
whose track is just back OF them. by the gem
eral government and by the Louisiana Lottery
Company. If they give way it will not be for
lack OF expenditure and constant watching and
repairing. The Illinois Central track between
New Orleans and Pass Manchaie is still under
water.
