A DRAMA IN REAL LIFE.
Chicago Aldermen and Joseph c.
Mackin are in the
Caste.
MACKIN SUDDENLY ABSC0MDS.
Two Ex-Alder,nen Admit That
They Were Both
Bribed.
Their Affidavits are Called in Cues
tion and the Inquiry is
Continued.
MAckIN SUDDENLY ABscoADs.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-The grand jury to-
day continued the Investigation into the
charges of bribery of the aldermen in
connection with the granting OF the fran
chise to the Lake street elevated railroad.
The investigation is based on alleged af-
fidavlts by ex-Aldermen Walker and
Mcnear, contessing that they we're bribed.
These affidavits bear the fac simiie of
the notarial seal and signature of Joseph
C.Mackin,recently released from the state
penitentiary, where he was confined for
political "fine work"
Mackin was called before the
grand jury some days ago but professed
to known nothing of the affidavits.
The impression was sought to be given
that the affldavits were manufactured by
Mackin's clerk. Something of sensa
tion was created today when Mortimer
McRobsrts, an intimate friend of both
Mackin and his clerk, called on State At
torney Longepecker and said that he was
indignant at the attempt to put false
charge upon the clerk. He said further
that the aflidavits we're drawn by Mackin
and that the latter had frequently boasted
to him of the fact that he had them.
TAis gave a new starting point, and 3
bailiff was sent out to bring Mackin In
for the second session of inquisitton
Then another sensation developed
Mackin could not be found and the gen.
eral impression is that he, has absconded
to avoid prosecution for purjury.

SPIRITED RACING NEAR CHICAGO.
Racine Succeeds IN Lowering the Kecort

Racine Succeeds IN Lowering the Record
CHICAGO, June 2S.-At Washington
park today the extra race was down on
the card, making six events for the after
noon. In the first race the favorite, Joio,
won In canter by three and one. half
lengths in fast time. The second race
was an extra race. The fast three year
old California horse Racine, owned by
Senator Stanford, ran. The field was of
that order which would indicate that to
win, Racine must lower or run very close
TO the record. He was away in front and
fought for his head from the first quar-
ter to the head of the stretch, at which
point he was let go and went home an
easy winner, in the remarkable time of
1 :391a, beating the record of Ten Brock
by quarter Of a second. That record
was made at Louisville on May "a, 1877.
The time for the different distances is
as follows: One-eigth mile, 121; n
mile, 244; q miles, 381s; n mlle, 4sX
q mile, iO1; u mile, 1855; a mile
1851; mile 1851. -
The event of the day, the Oakwood
handicap, mile and eight, rich sweep
stpkes, worth the winner nearly $1,000
It was won by r. T. Halliday's three
year-Old horse, Teuton, beating the fa-
nous Los Angeles by head and the
record of 1 53, made by Terra Gotta al
Sheepshead Bay, June 20. 1888. After
the first quarter Teuton lead the entire
course, but if one jump more could have
been given Los Angeles at the wire she
would have added one more victory fol
the colors of black and red.
The time at different distances was a.
follows: Eighth mile, 121S; n mile, %

DIXON DEFEATS WALLACE,
Eighteen Rounds Fsught-A Thousand
Peple Present.

Peple Present.
LONDON, June 27.-Dixon, Boston's
colored pugillst, whipped Wallace at
featherweights tonight The fight was
witnessed by about one thousand persons
Wallace led off the first round, appearing
to considerable advantage. Intense in
terest was manifested and he was loudly
cheered by his friends and received
many signs of encouragement. In the
second round the Englishman adopted
ducking maneuvers in which he touched
Dixon's legs. This gave rise to cries of
foul, which, however, was not allowed by
the referee.
In the Sd round Wallace appeared to be
considerably tagged and Dixon stepped to
the front to great advantage. 1t the sue
ceeding inning the American forced the
fighting. The fifth, sixth and seven
rounds were fought on even grounds.
From this up to the tenth it was no
great display of pugilistic skill but in
the tenth round Wallace received Il
knock-down blow and blood flowed from
HIM pretty freely. lie came to time,
however, promptly, although his weak
ness was plainly apparent. In each sue
ceeding round up to the eighteenth Dixon
fought the Englishman all around the
ring. At the next call Wallace reached
his corner but had been so badly used up
that he was unable to defend himself
He leaned hopelessly on the ropes and
was obliged to give up the fight.

TRADE IN GOOD CONDITION.
Some Doubts AZ to Whether it will Con-
t1nuA so

Some Doubts as to Whether it will Con-
tinue SO.
NEW York, June 27.-R. g. Dunn &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "While
the volume of trade as indicated by spec
ial reports, by bank exchanges at interior
cities and by railroad earnings, continues
larger than in the same month of any
previous year, the prospect for the future
is rendered less satisfactory by industrial
hesitation and by doubt in regard to the
monetary outlook. Industrial hesitation
results from the decay Of Legislation and
increased uncertainty regarding the out
come. Wool 10 distinctly weaker in the
Interior and at eastern markets, and dis:
position Is shown to meet the needs OF
manufacturers. The uncertainty also
effects the estimates of the future de-
mand for iron and the continued addition
Of new furnaces weakens the market.
Large transactions In structural iron and
rails have been closed, but without
strengthening prices"

A GRAND SPECTACLE.

The race for three miles was one of the
grandest and prettiest struggles ever
witnessed over the Thames river course.
At no time during the first three miles
was either crew able to obtain decisive
lead and during that time Harvard had
the lead twice, holding it, however, but a
brief period. Yale by grand squirting
and staying qualities, quickly recovering
the first position by small margin.
HARVARD SHOWS PLUCK.
Harvard held Yale with great pluck,
but after passing the third mile, Har
ward stroke seemed to have lost some of
its effectiveness, which with the percepti-
BILE roll to their shell and three or four
slight swerves by their coxwain caused
the Harvard boat to drop slowly but sure
ly astern.
Yale finished strong, keeping up their
long steady swing witn almost faultless
precision, crossing the line and resting on
their ores without the least sign of dis
tress, while in the Harvard boat at least
three men were, clearly showing effects
of their determined effort
