AMATEUR ATHLETES.
Indoor Championships at the
Pavilion.

The first annua indoor championships OF the
Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union took place last evening at the Pavilion,
but owing to a stupid blunder OF The manage
ment In charging ladies admission fee the
gathering was rather sparse.
Those who witnessed the contests last evening
took considerable interest in the short distance
events. Such sports as pole yaultiDg shot put
ting, long distance walking. etc., might better
have been omitted as altogether too lii esome for
an indoor exhibition. The following Is result
OF the championships:
Three quarters mile walk-WOn by Horace

the young lady. whose mother kept a few
boarders, and bluntly asked to see the
letter. There were some moments of hes
itation but finally the letter, or rather
POSTAL CARD
was produced. 1t read:

Carr was in no hurry to leave and a
long conversation gave him an idea of
the situation. During the winter of
1S77-7S Brown and Ross had both
boarded at the house where Carr then
was. Brown seemed to have been a
t~ayorite about the place, and the people
felt especially friendly toward Ross.
They were 10th to believe that such nice
young men could be guilty of stage rob-

Mrs. Jean Fish Berdan, who spent the
summer in Cheyenne, has earned quite a
reputation in the East by reason of the
series of letters written by her from this
place. Colorado and Utah for the Eastern
papers. The Patterson Call says: Mrs.
Berdan has been engaged to report the
tour of a Patterson party through the
Yellowstone park and Yosemite valley
next summer, and also to represent the
Call as a delegate to a national journals

who at once left the office. An officer,
who had been notified by the postofice
people, followed. Although disguised he
kept far enough IN the rear to avoid sus-
picion. The man with the letter finally
entered a brewery in the suburbs of the
town and the officer arrived in time to
find Patrick or Ross with the letter in
his hands. The suspect was arrested and
when searched the letter could not be
found, though he had not been out of the
officers sight. He must have swallowed
it, said the sheriff afterwards. Patrick,
alias Ross. declared he was the wrong
man and tina. a terrible mistake had
beer made. He would not give in an
inch, even after Carr arrived on the
ground, and as he had been working in
the mines and was very much changed
the Cheyenne Sheriff thought that pos
sibly his prisoner was not Ross after all.
However. he resolved to bring him here.
Ross never weakened until no was greeted
by Brown with hello, partner" and then
he had to give IN.
HE WAS CONVICTED
OF the charge brought against him and
sentenced to the penitentiary for twelve
years. Brown went scott free, but why
one was convicted and the other turned
loose does not appear. At that time
Wyomiug's prisoners were sent to Lin
coin, Neb., and to that prison Ross was
sent, He was a sandy complexioned,
energetic young fellow, scarcely 81 and to
him confinement was worse than death.
His conduct while in prison was good and
he choose for his trade a work of art.
One day, about five years after Ross in
generation the Cheyenne young lady re-
ceived a package through the mail. 1t
contained a memento which would be a
credit to any artist and which has often
been admired by visitors but outside Of
the Smith family no one but the ex-sheriff
ever knew it was the work of a convict.
Accompanying the present were two let
ters. One was for the young lady aud one
for her father. Sheriff Carr also received
a letter about the same time which ran
as follows:

monos-Social Reform-1he Relations
With the Vatlcan-R fleets of the
Economic Crisis
ROME, July 3O.-rhe holy see has just ap-
pointed an extraordinary commission of
cardinals to reorganiEe the Catholic mis-
slons. Two years ago Cardinal Simeone
prepared and communicated to the pope
plan of reforms in order to better regulate
the action of the propaganda. But tie
coming of Gen. Simmonds from England on
special mission to Pope Leo in
refereuce to colonial questions had the ef-
feet of postponing the execution Of the pro-
Jected reforms, as the propaganda did not
wish to awaken the idea that the reforms
were made in consequence Of an arrange
ment with England. Any suspicion of such
an arrangement would have reused the
greatest jealousy in France.

OF missions taking a leading part in the
work of colonization, has revived these
proJectS OF reform. The Inquiry OF the
commission of cardinals will IL is said. ex-

cial reforms urged in the encyclcal.
POPE LEO AND THE KAISER.
Herr Schloezer, the Prussian minister to
the vatican, will soon leave Rome for his
ordinary vacation. His recent negotiations
with the holy see have had little success.
The vatican is greatly dissatisfied with the
hardness with which Prussia is inclined TO
treat most urgent ecclesiastical affairs.
The recent economic crisis at Rome has
almost ruined many of the great ancient
families, such as the Borghesi, Sciarra and
Barbsrini. The Borghesi family appears to
have been the greatest sufferer. Paul Bor-
ghesi, its present head, is said 10 have
ordered most rigorous economy in the
management of his properties in order to
get over the great losses recently sustained
He has distributed the work of art which
composed the celebrated Borghesi gallery
among his nine brothers, 80 as to en-
able him to lease the apart
ments given up to the art collection to
bank. One hears expressions
OF regret on all sides at this action 1t is
feared that the example may find imitation
on the part of other great families, aud that
there may thus be a general breaking UP OF
tho hne private art collections at Rome.

QUITMAN, GA, July -. The second day
of the horticultural convention was big
success, and passed OFF as pleasantly as the
first. The delegates we're entertained last
night with a delightful "old folks" concertn
ct the opera house.
The members OF the society, both pri-
vatelY and in convention, declare this the
best meeting in every way ever held since
the society has been in existence. They
passed a resolution to this effect to-day
and rendered sincere thanks to the people
Of Quitnan and Brooks county for the
many kindnesses and oourtesies extended
them. In addition TO this the NEWS COR
respondent has interviewed nearly all Of
them individually, and they say they have
never met in place which treated them so
royally and that there has never been an
exhibit which would compare with the one
made here. This town and county have
certainly captured tho hortioulturlsts and
they will leave with the pleasantest recol-
lections OF both.

to-day. P. J. Bsrckmans OF Augusta was
reelected president and T. l.. Kinsey of
Sayannah, secretary. An invitation to
hold the next annual meeting in Rome, was
accepted. Among other business trans
acted was the passing OF a resolution to the
effect that the legislature be petitioned to
pass a law to prevent the destruction Of in
sect destroying birds. Quite di discussion was
had as to whether the English sparrow
should be included in this law. 1t was
finally decided that the bird was too much

HARRISON'S HARD FIGHT
QUAY AND DUDLEY NOW FREE
TO OPPOSE HIM

Their Resignation from the Executive
Committee Probably Part of the
Blaine Programme-aerriso APP
pointmentsof Fassett Made to Win
over Boss Platt's Influence in Secur-
ing the New York Delegation.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Quay
left here for the seashore via Philadelphia
this afternoon. Before leaving he read the
New York and Philadelphia newspapers,
and remarked that he saw only one state
ment worth denial, and that is that Presi-
dent Harrison had something to do with his
retirement from the national committee.
81 want it distinctly understood" )" he said,
with emphasis, "that President Harrison
never even intimated that he wished me to
retire from the national committee or
from the national executive committee"
and he spoke as if President Harrison
would have found it very difficult to get
him off the committee, but he did not deny
that Secretary Blaine had something to do
with his retirement from the committee
He said significantly to friend this morn
ing: II am free now" and Col. Dudley
said the same thing. 1t is well understood
that they feel able now to fight President
Harrison now as they could not have done
otherwise.
HARRISON MEANS TO FIGHT.
President Harrison is a good politician,
and he therefore recognizes the fact that if
he is TO get the nomination next year In
spite of the national committee and the
Blaine movement in the Republican party he
must work aud fight hard for it. Hence this
attempt by appointing Secretary Fassett
collector Of the port of New York yesterday,
to get a friend on the republican national
executive committee. as well as TO propitiate
Boss Platt President Harrison understands
that Boss Platt will control the delegation
from New York to the next national con-
vention, and that Mr.. Fassett, as his most
trusted lieutenant, is just the man Platt
prefers in the greatest federal office in New
York.
MATTER OF DOUBT.
Mr. Fassett has accepted, probably with
Boss Platts consent, but it remains 10 be
seen how much good this will do President
Harrison Boss Platt is closer to Senator
Quay than he is to President Harrison, aud
even If he is not for Secretary Blaine may
not be able to restrain the Blaine
fesling in New York. The chief
Importance of this move, upon which
President Harrison's friends are exchanging
congratulations, is, in the indication it
gives, that President Harrison means to
fight in the national committee meeting
against the Blaine programme of an early
convention, and so on, until the convention
