GARFIELD PARK DOOMED.
The Chicago People Do Not Like Racing
On Ice.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-1ntense excitement
was caused at Garfield Park track today
by the sudden appearance of a large
body of police. For time it looked as
if the establishments was to be ''pulled."
AS it was, all the races had to be run
over the three-quarter mile track, the
police taking possession of the full
course and enforcing to the letter the
ordinance prohibiting gambling within
400 feet of the boulevard. This was the
last day the of so-called meeting, and the
demonstration, it was understood, was
intended by the authorities as a notice
that any attempt to reopen the place in
the spring would be futile. Representa-
tive Carson said today he would intro
duce q bill in the next legislature that
would make the suppression complete.

If the consumers of favoring

are poisonous, which some

CORN AND WHEAT CROPS.
STATISTICAL RETURNS OF THE
GOVERNMENT.

The Reserve of Corn Still on the
Farms 1914 Per Cent. against 45.e
Per Cent. Last Year-The Crop
Slightly Under the Average in
Quantity Wheat's Showing.
WASHINGTON, March 10-The statistical
returns Of the department Of agriculture
for March are estimates Of the corn and
wheat in the hands Of the farmers, the pro-
portion and present value of the merchant
able corn, the weight OF wheat per measured
oushel, and other points in the commercial
distribution of grain.
The result Of the consolidation makes the
farmers, reserve Of corn So 4 per cent. OF
the crop, in comparison with 45.9 per cs {.
last year. In bushels it is 542,-
100000 again,t 97O. 900, 900 last year. 1t is
the lowest recent reserve, except that from
the smaller crop Of 1887 and that from the
crop Of 1888. The percentage retained in
the seven corn surplus states is less than in
the others
TO BE CONSUMED AT HOME.
The proportion estimated for consumption
where grown is relatively large, S7.4 per
cent. instead Of SIS last year. The guam
tity shipped or to be shipped rom the farms
is, therefore, only lSs ,o00, 900, or less than
half the surplus of last year.
The proportion of the crop merchantable
Is 7S. . per cent against S5.7 per cent. last
year. 1t Is therefore slightly under the
average in quality. The average price of
merchantable corn is 55.S cents per Lushel
and of un nerchantable, 42.9 cents. The
aggregate value of the crcp, on this basis, is
So6l 100000, nearly $1,000 COO more than
the December valuation, an advance of
about per cent, establishing the sub tan
lal accuracy OF the december estimate.
TIE SUPPLY OF WHEAT,
The proportion of wheat still in the hands
of the farmers is lower than an average of
tie la ten years. the range being from &c
to SO per cent. 1t is IS. 3 per cent. or 49,
100000 usnels. 1t has been lower only in
two years of the last ten, after the meAger
crops of 1881 and 1895, which were smaller
than that of 1890. Including visible stocks,
the supply is l35, 00o, 900 bushels. The con-
sumption of the last twelve months is
900, 600 bushels and the exports have been
about 9S, 1000 900 from March 1, 1890.
SPRING WHEAT.
The low percentages of the spring wheat
states are especially noticeable. Half of
the present stocks will be required for
spring selling. The proportion of the crop
estimated for consumption within the coun-
try is So per cent, against 49, / last year.
The average weight per measured lshel is
57.2 pounds. The average of 1889 was ST.

seven crops from 1855. In bushels If sixty
pou DIS the aggregate is 3Sl 100000 or co.

crop.

A Runaway Couple from Savannah
Outwit the Old Folks.
WAYoRoss, GA, March 10.-When the
West India fast mail train came into the de-
pot here Monday morning a frightened look
ing couple stepped off. The man looked hur-
riedly about him, while the shy little
maiden chung tightly b bis arm. After GET
ting his bearings he started off III ough the
crowd toward the court house. The man made
quick steps and the girl kept pace with him.
Reaching the bank building, on their way
TO the court house, they glanced hurriedly
up at gn that was swaying in the March
wind and read: "W. A. Wright, Justice
of the Peace" The cast hurriei look be-
hind them, and with an exclamation of re-
lief darted into the doorway, up the
stairs, and stood breathless in the presence
Of the ofacial whose sign they bad so for
tunately stu mbled upon. "Well," said the
judge, what can do for you9" "We-we
would hke-you-to ma-ma-marry u.s. "
the man finally said, while the innocent
maiden blushed deep crimson and tried to
hide her face behi d her lovers shoulder.
:" All right" said the judge as it a case of
of despair upon the countenance of the
lovesck pair, as visions of separation and
arrest came up before them. Mono
not exactly said the man, 'but they
they-the old folks we're opposed and-and
were watching us, and so we thought we'd
run up ard get the rouble all over" Very
well" said the judge. ''stand up here and

man blurted out. YES" and had
said "Yes" some half dozen time
before the judge got through. do you,

ingly. The judge pronounced them man
and wife. The News correspondent, in
company with prominent physician, had
stepped in to see the knot well tied, and
caught the grateful look Of the now thor
oughly happy couple, as the last sentence OF
the official was uttered. The groom was
fine looking man. and the little lady had a
sweet face and graceful form. They came
from Savannah and returned there by the
next train armed with a certificate bearing

The Law May Be Invalid and the
troops May Stay Home.
ATLANTA, GA. March 10.-It transpires
that the law providing for the permanent
encampment, which has just been awarded
to Macon, is possibly invalid, because the
original resolution was read but once in the
House of r personalities, and, also, because
it had no caption. The constitution pro-
vides that bills shall have captions and be
three times read in each branch OF the as
sembly. The conclusion is jumped at by
many that the encamp nent res blu tions hav-
ing the force of law became subject
TO the same conditions. Consequently there
is a general impre sion here that neither
Macon nor any OF her rivals or the state
military will ever see the permanent camp
heretofore regarded as a future certainty.
Everything depends upon what the assem-
bly, may legally perform by resolutions.
Among lawyers there is some conflict of
opinion.

named for their city, taking with them the
handsome silver service which the city was
TO present T. the ship. The jack tars we're
all mustered forward and the marines drawn
ND in line about midships. Evan P. Howell
in brief speech explained the mission Of
the delegation, and then introduced Alder
man A. J. Mcbride, who, on the part OF
the CITY of Atlanta, made the presentation.
The service was received for the ship by
Capt John W. Phillips. The ceremony was
concluded with cheers from the blue jackets
for the city of Atlanta.
LUNCHEON SERVED.
Then lunch was served, aud the visitors
and mariners pledged each other in spark
ling bumpers.
In token of the appreciation in which the
officers Of the ship held the compliment paid
their vessel it was resolved to fire the big
gun which sets aft, and, accordingly, Miss
Effie Phillips, an Atlanta belle, was called
upon 10 pull The trigger. Nothing loath the
young lady gra,ped the cord, and, when
the word was given, pulled. The gun had
been shotted, and as the ball rlchercnatted
far over the sea, the thunderous defamation
of the monster was still ringing in the ears
of the bystanders. The shock was felt for
long time, and several windows in the pilot
house were broken by the conclusion.
NOT FIRED OFTEN.
1t is only at long intervals that this gun
Is fred, IL being the same weapon from the
recoil of which the Atlanta suffered so Sc
verely when the gun was first put on board
of her. Admiral Walker and number OF
