And Comether Made a Gallant
Run for Second Place.


The betting was very liberal for the
first race, five furlongs for two-year-
olds. Hamline was the tip. and the
money forced him down to even to win.
Then quite deal was placed on
Hispania.
Hamline opened up proceedings by
showing the way from the post. Alice
DIS colors were showing in second
place down the stretch, and Mccarthy
pushed her up level with Hamline, aud
it was an interesting sight down
around the bend. Meanwhile Hispania
was riding with the greatest ease trail
ing the party. Coming down around
the turn Hispania extended herself
magnifcently and closed up the gap in
a few sturdy strides, and when the
stretch was reached her pink and white
already showed winning lead. Com
etiier, to the surprise of everybody, ran
tenaciousIy second under whip and

who galloped along gracefully two

advantage, Comether second by

Blaze

BLUNT, S. D., Aug. 6.-The mercury
is at 100 in the shade and the wind blow
ing a fearful gale. About noon the
east-bound freight engine fired the prai-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 6.-M.
Rachael Sintoro, an Italian. twenty
years OF age, went on a spree this after
noon. He was not accustomed to Amer
lean whisky, and his indulgence in that
intoxicant made him crazy drunk. At
the corner of Independence and Pros
pect avenues he drew his revolver and
began firing about prOmiscuOusly. PO-
liceman John Kennally attempted to
arrest him, when the Italian turned his
weapon against the officer and fired.
The bullet struck the officers star and
made only a slight wound. Policeman
NJ. j. Newell came to his comrades as
sistance to arrest the unruly Italian.
Sintoro then turned the weapon on
Newell, but it missed fire twice. New
ell then fired and shot the Italian in the
breast; inflicting fatal wound.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. 6.-The
entire stock of the Oak Hall Clothing
company, valued at $4,000, was de

forbidden, had attempted to hide the
cigar when the proprietor entered. The
company occupies the lower floor of the
keystone block, and the structure be-
ing fireproof was not damaged more
than $4,000. The loss on the stock is

JAMESTOWN, n. D., Aug. 6.-The
trustees of the jamestown asylum have
decided to spend $1,000 to have the ar
tesian we'll at the institution cleaned
out, and contract to that end has been
let with well boring firm in Aurora,
Ill. The well was made by Milwau-
kee firm, but has about ceased flowing,
although when paid for the flow was
sufficient. It's claimed that piping was
not put down the entire length in the
first place, and the well is of insufficient
depth to strike the main Water-bearing
stratum. which gives an ample supply
to the city we'll, a mile distant. This
state well has been several years in
construction, and, with the expenditure
of the present appropriation of $500,
will have cost about $4,000. or nearly
three times the cost of the city we'll in
jamestown. The present board of
trustees is confident of getting per-
manent water supply without much ad-
ditional expense.

road which leaves here at 1:5S a. M. met
with terrible accident three miles west
of Port Byron this morning, near what
is known as the DutcheSs cut. The
train was running at a high rate or
speed in a heavy fog, and at that point
ran into freight train. Twelve cars of
the freight train were wrecked and
piled upon the tracks. The people
killed were in the smoking car, which
was completely wrecked. Hardly
whole piece Of timber was left OF the
car. The wreck took fire and the pas
Senger train was burned, with the eX-
ception of three sleeping cars. The
train was made up of two express cars.
a baggage car. smoking car, day

and the caboose were also In flames.
The death list began to be appalling as
body after body was removed, until ten

The injured were twice as many more,
and their supplications for aid were
heartrending. The freight train which
caused the accident consisted of forty
cars, and had started to leave the main
track, and was halfway upon switch
when a coupling broke in the middle of
the train. A brakeman was sent up
the track with lantern to check the

enough up the road or his signal was
not seen is not known. A new coupling
had been made and the freight was
slowly starting. In minute more it

and Murder AT Cheboygan.
Internal DissentiOns.

There is trouble in the camp of the pa
irons commercial union Of Michigan. At
the meeting Of the directors at Lansing the
fun began. Each member of the union
pays 81 upon being elected and 20 cents
annual dues. The initiation fee is TO make
a sinking fdnd while the 20-cent assess
ment was figured upon to pay all expenses.
The society has 3, 249 members, and hav-
ing been organized but about year ago,
there was that number of persons who
paid the II and also the 20-cent assessment
during the past year. OF the amounts re-
ceived from the 81 payments, however,
only sl,4l7 was put into the society's per-
manent fund, the remaining 81, $50 being
spent for current expenses. During the
EAST year Dubois Conlklin, OF Kent, was the
recipient of salary Of 900 a year as
manager of the union; j. +. Taylor Of
Greenville, got $500 as secretary, and c.
II. Morse, OF Carson City, $500 as treasurer.
A tremendous kick over the deficiency in
the sinking fund, followed by a PROPOSE
ton TO lop of "A good portion of the sal
aries was the cause of the great disturb
ance. Conkln, Moore and Taylor re-
signed, and the board, in the absence of
some newly-elected members, being left
without a quorum, the meeting was adj
journed to Dec. %, when the election will
be completed.
