MORE THAN A SUICIDE.

Two Persons Accidentally Shot Trying to
Foil a Rash Attempt
BURLINGTON JUNCTION, Mo-, Dec. 10.
&C. E. Dyche, proprietor of the Com
mercial Hotel, shot himself with suicidal
intent last night He committed the act in
the hotel parlor, and in trying to wrest the
revolver from him, Mrs. Combs, his mother
in.law, and +. NJ. Baker were both shot,
Dyche was shot in the breast, and he is
probably fatally wounded. Baker was shot
in the groin, tine ball passing downward to
the feshy part of the leg. Mrs. Combs was
shot in the right hand, one finger being shot
away. Domestic trouble and jealousy are
assigned as the cause.

is noteworthy that the speculative markets
are all hesitating in the feeling that none
tary legislation may indefinitely alter the
situation. Largely increased immediate
supplies of money, by imports of gold and
treasury disbursements, have less effect than
might be expected.

be completed within the time originally

charge says that it is the plan to get in
lam piers and boOms above and hold the
logs until the dam is ready for business.
This arrangement to hold the logs is
said to be agreed to by the lumbermen,

Clifton's Card for To-Day.
Northwestern Breeders
Stakes.

While all the details have not yet
been arranged, it may be set down for
fact that one of the principal events of
the Twin CITY Jockey Club meeting, at
Hamlne, next July, will he an extra,
to be known as the Minnesota Breeders
stake. The stake will be open to all
horses bred and owned in Minnesota,
s. each to accompany the nomination,
with $40 additional to start; $500 or 800
to be added by the club, of which $lO0
to second. Weights for age, with the
usual allowances for Sex. There are
twenty or thirty breeders Of fine horse
flesh in Minnesota, and canvass of a
majority of them has developed the fact
that all VIII make nominations for the
bre elders stake, thus inSuring at least
dozen horses at the post. The
management of the club has been
considering the proposed feature for
several months, and has now practically
decided to adopt it. Its renewal de-
ponds wholly upon the support given to
the inaugural event, and Minnesota
breeders will have an opportunity to
test their repeated assertions that this
state can produce as good race horses
as either kentu cky or California by
giving their youngsters chance, and
assist in educating the people OF the
Northwest in the development of run
ming horses. That the repute of the
Jockey club is not confined to Mime
sofa or the Northwestern states is in
stanced by the fact that on Saturday
Secretary Shaw received a magnificent
silver water service handsomely en-
pTaVad with thA commitments an hest
wisnes of a large manufacturing firm IN
the East for the success of the Hamline
meeting. In the East as well as in the
West the coming meeting is being dis
cussed by horse owners and patrons of
the turf. many of whom venture the
prediction that in the near future Ham
line will be TO Western horsenen what
Saratoga is to their brethren in the
EaSt-a Yeritahle horse haven.

heat in 2:14 being beaten by but two
horses in races, and both of the per
formances were made over Chicago
tracks. And upon looking back over
the summaries of former meetings the
names Of many stars will be found
among the lists of starters. The stake
programme that the association pre-
sentS for its meeting at Washington
Park this year shows four events, the
first of which is the Juvenile stake, for
toals of 1883 that failed to beat three
minutes as yearlingS. 1t is followed by
the Hopeful stake, for foals of 1887, and
the Breeders stake, for foals of 1886,
while stake open to all trotters and
PAGERS, no section barred. three years
