West End Elevated Railroad Case.

BOSTON, June 13.-The hearing before the
senate committee Investigating the charges OF
corruption in connection with the passage OF
the West End Elevated railroad bill was re-
surned to-day. Sanderson testified that when
Senator Fassett proposed to deliver the votes
OF the senators for 100000 he (witneSs) referred
him to DR.. Moore. Senator Fassett had de-
clareu TO the witness that the senators could
be purchase for $1,000 each
Fsssett was sworn and testified that he never
nad any conversation with Sanderson regard
ing elevated roads and that the alleged Sl0OOOC
interview never took place at Dr. Moore S
office, no list Of Senators was presented and no
reference was made to purchase. Another time
Dr. Moore told him (Fassetty that they pro-
posed to build the road and were ready to pay
sluoOo or $1,000 to get certain number OF
senatorial votes. He asked witness if
he could furnish fourteen Republican
senators sure to favor an elevated
road. Witness told Dr. Moore those tactics
might do in New Hampshire, but not in Massa-
chusetts. He voted for the East End railroad
bill because he believed that company alone
would build the road
Representative Williams detailed the state
ments already given by Sanderson and Moore as
tney had been made to witness. AS to what
Moore said about the $4,000 proposition, wit
ness characterized it as the boldest he had ever
known.

Possible Suburban Starters.

Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch
NEW YORK, June 13-The Coney Island
Jockey club will open it's June meeting Tuesday
next at the Sheepshead Bay track. The Subur
ban handicap, the most interesting racing event
of the year, will be decided on the opening day.
Should the day be fine and the track In good
condition, 1t is probable that the race will be
witnessed by the largest crowd that ever saw
the Suburban contested. The attendance
promises to be unusually large, because at the
present time within a week of the race, several
hrst-class horses are in condition to start That
phenomenal horse, Tenney, is the favorite, and
his admirers believe he will win the Suburban
with ease, barring an accident. There are many
shrewd turfmen, however who entertain the
opinion that Tenney racing with frst-class
horses on the oval at Sheepshead bay will not
be the world beaten that he is racing up and
down the billy track at Morris Park
Raceland has had special training for the big
event. The horse is credited with having
worked one and a quarter miles, the Suburban
distance, in 2:l0 with the utmost ease. Race
land had a walk-over in Morris Park Tuesday.
He covered one mile of the distance in :43

Raceland was the fastest horse he had ever
trained. He will be heard from in the Subur-
ban.
Mr.. Haggin's celebrated mare Firenzi and
that crack-a-jack Salvador are said to have
made fast trials recently. II Salvador is sent to
the post he will not lack for hackers. Matt
Byrnes has said that Salvador will beat Ten
ney. The stable would rather win with FirenZi
as after this year she will be retired and her
value as a brood mare would be greatly en-
HANGED by such a victory, However, if she
cannot do the trick, there is Salvador to fall
back upon, and if he has improved in the same
ratio as Tenney, battle royal will be the result
It is thought Dwyer Bros. will be represented
by Sir Dixon and Longstreet. The latter has
received careful attention at the hands of his
trainer, Frank McCabe, and Is said to be in
great form. Should Longslreet start he will
be q dangerous horse AS for Sir Dixon, his
true form has not been exposed at Morris

A Boxing Bout with Features not

BUTTE, Mont, June 13.-[Special telegram to
THE HERAI.D].- entertainment given in
this city by the Dempsey combination tonight
proved replete with features not down on the
bill. The first part of the programme was ad-
mirable in every feature, especially the bouts
between Dempsey and German and Cusick and
Francis. For the closing act it was announced
that Jack Campbell of Oregon, and George
Kessler, of this city, would spar four ROUNDS for
points. 1t had been given out on the quiet that
the meeting would be for blood and that Kess-
Ter was to get half the gate receipts if he stood
before Campbell four rounds. This made the
last bout the feature ofthe evening and it was
anxiously awaited by the crowd. When the
men first crossed hands it was apparent that
bloody work was coming. Kessler proved a
surprise to the combination champion and in
stead of waiting to be knocked out, rushed the
| fight, evidently intending to whip his man. He
scored first blood in the second round Camp.

first, and from that time on Kessler had much
the best of it.
In the third round the two men went at it in
a rough and tumble style, and when the referee
attempted to interfere he was caught in q hip
lock by the fighters and took fall with them
on the floor. While down both men fought
viciously, and 1t was with the utmost difficulty
that they could be separated
The fourth and last round was the same, end
ing in a mad clinch and fall, when the sheriff
interfered. The referee gave first blood to
Kessler. but gave the fight to Campbell. This so
enraged Kessler that when the two men
went in the dressing room they went at it again
hammer and tongs. This set the audience on
fire and for moment it looked as though the
friends of both parties would take hand. The
sheriff came to the front, however, and settled
the whole matter by placing both under arrest.
They gave bonds at once but will have to appear
and answer to- morrow. The decision of the
referee created good deal of dissatisfaction
and it is thought here that Kessler can whip
the man who offered to do him in four rounds.

The Union Stock Yards Sale Shit.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The anticipated suit to
prevent the contamination of the proposed
SIC, 000, 0C0 sale of the Union Stock yards to an
English syndicate was commenced before Judge
Tuley this afternoon. Decidedly sensational
charges are made and the court is asked to re-
move the present officers of the corporation
and appoint a receiver and issue an injunction
restraining the proposed issue OF bonds and the
sale of the plant and stock. The complainant
in the bill is Frank r. Baker, dealer at the
yards and owner of over one hundred and fifty
shares of the capital stock. The bill charges
that defendants are inspired with the sole in
tention OF selling the property for little over
half of it's actual value: that they then pro
pose to depreciate the value of the stock and
run the property value down until it reaches
minimum. Then when small stockholders are
frozen out the manipulators intend to buy the
plant and good will. comparatively, for mere
song. Judge Tuley referred the matter to
master in chancery for hearing.
