Alleged Crooked Work at the Washington
Park Running Meeting.
CHICAGO, July H.-Much dissatisfaction has
been expressed by horsemen from the South
and elsewhere with the way in which thipps
have been going at the races at Washington
Park during the present meeting. This dis
satisfaction is chiefly directed toward the run
ming Of the Chicago stable of horses, owned by
George c. Hankins, well-known gambling
house keeper.
His horses have been running in and out"
in a most remarkable way and the papers of
the city. beginning with expressions OF mild
astonishment, have come to outright denuncia
ton. The running of Santalene of that stable
the other day when he was beat by Atticus'
came in for such severe criticism that the man,
agement have taken the matter up and are
making an investigation. There are threats
that Hankins' alleged Southern stable will not
be represented here next season.

KEMMLER STILL THE FIRST
Who Will be Legally Killed by the Subtle
Electric Current.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCHl
AUBURN, July 17.-At this moment Kemmler.
the slayer of Lille Zeiger, lies sleeping in his
steel-bound cell awaiting his doom, which must
be met some time the week beginning August
L. THE DISPATCH reporter was in the prison
tonight and interviewed Deputy Warden
Boyle, who is in charge War
den Durston and Mrs. Durston being
absent from the city. The news that Chap
leau's sentence had been commuted to life i'm
prisonment was surprise to the prison officials
here. 1t was expected. that Chapleau would be
the first victim of the new law: therefor no prep
arations have been made, strictly speaking, to
execute the sentence against Kemmler. The
Aburn prison officials expected to be aided by
the experience at Dannemora, but it now re-
mains for Warden Durston to kill the first
prisoner by electricity.
The dreadful electrical machinery, including
the chair, is not now in the death chamber
Deputy Warden Boyle says that all the ma
chInery has been taken down and carefully
packed away in boxes. This course was pur-
sued to evade curious visitors who were con-
tinualy pestering the warden to see the ap-
paratus. Kemmler takes his bath daily in the
chamber, and this is another reason why the
machinery was removed. When Warden Dur
ston returns the final preparations will be be-
gun. Kemmler is in good health and spirits.
and appears, as he has heretofore, unconcerned
about his impending doom.

once. This will be accomplished by the trans
fer from other clubs of two pitchers, an out
fielder and an infielder. The new infielder will
act as captain Of the team. The names of the

in other Conservative circles the report is fully
ify Mr.. Balfour's Irish land purchase bill in
accordance with Mr. Parnelrs suggestions and
will embody these in a new draft of the meas
ure. which will be presented at the meeting of

intend to produce at the fall session. along
with the land bill, local government bill for
Ireland which they hope will meet with the
approval of Mr.. Parnell and his colleagues.
Mr.. Parnell's action has certainly lightened
matters tremendously for the Government,
and Mr.. Chamberlain's letter declaring that
the Dissidents are very happy family indeed,
and in perfect accord with the Conservatives,
is another little boost to the almost collapsed
ministry of Lord Salisbury.
