CONFESSES THE CRIME.
The Man who Mined the Consolidated
Road.

A tremendous explosion occurred
near Wilson's station on the CONSOLE
dated road on July 2G. The story was
fully told at the time, but no clue was
found to the guilty party. 1t appears
Louis Ramel arrested at Bclvidere near
EastOn, Pa, for a similar offense, has
confessed that he was guilty of the ex-
plosion on the Consolidated road. He
came up from New York for the pur-
pose. Bhrrand is very likely insane. If
not he has got up an imitation insanity
as a shelter from the law. He says that
he knows what he does is wrong, but
he has to go and do it. Apparently he
has made one or two unsuccessful at
tempts, besides the two that succeeded,

CLOSE OF THE MEETING.
THE FINAL DAY OF THE JOCKEY
CLUB RACES.

A Big Crowd Witness the Rnning-An
Excellent Programme Winds up the
sport-How Yesterdays Races Re.
sulted-Points From the Paddock.
The spring meeting of the Washington
Jockey Club was brought to a close to-
day. II has been the most successful
race meeting ever held i'm this section,
not only in pecuniary sense but from
the character of the races. Although
there has been some dissatisfaction about
some of the races the club officials have
worked faithfully to give the public hon
est sport and succeeded admirably.
The club have been exceptionally IA
yored with pleasant weather, and to this
cause is due a good deal of its success.
The attendance has been uniformly large,
and the club officials are thoroughly well
satisfied.
A continuance of the good weather
brought out large crowd to-day and the
grand stand was well filled. Six races,
all on the flat, were on the cards, and the
sport furnished was excellent.
Yesterdays Races.
First Race-L' Intriguante was the only
thing in this race and was barred in the
books, the penoillers giving ! to against
her. The Morris FLY won as she pleased,
while Fearless got the place by three
lengths from Costa Rica.
Second Race-Vintage Time flIy was
strong favorite at to 5, but Harpers
horse was not equal to the occasion, and
lost the race, the decision going to King
second place, andth favorite third.
Third Race-The scarlet colors of the
| Morris stable again showed in front in
| this race, they winning on Recess, the
| favorite, at to 10. Theirs l.. and King
| dom acted as pace makers, but were
| passed in the stretch, Recess winning,
| Kingdom second and Theirs l.. third.
Fourth Race-Cornelia was the favorite
in the five furlong heat race, but was
never in it, Fitz Lee, 10 to ] shot win
ming the first heat, with Van Buren,
second and Gyda third. In the second
heat Lee made the running and won
handily, Gyda second and Rustic third.
Fifth Race-Pat Oakley was well played
and ran well until reaching the hurdle
| before the water jump, when he fell. On
| the flat Delaware, Repeater and Blphin
fought out the race and Repeater won,
Delaware second, and Evangelne beat
out Elphin for third money.
Points from the Paddock.
This is the last chance to get even.
LIntriguante has won every race in
which she has started.
The two-days extra racing announced
for next week have been abandoned The
owners have to go to Brooklyn, and as
they only brought the horses down for q
ten days meeting it was thought better to
close the meeting to-day.
The Morris stable will quit the heaviest
winners in purses of the meeting. The
scarlet colors have been first under the
wire III more races than those of any OF
other stables.
1t has been a highly successful meeting

his rifle and then passed it partially
around the barrel of the weapon. Then
the butt was rested on the floor and the
mouth of the piece pressed firmly against
his temple. The trigger was pulled, a
sharp report sounded out on the quiet
summer air and dead man lay on the
floor, while brains and blood dlscolored
the walls of the room. The sentry pacing
the flagstones outside heard the report and
ran to the room. He summoned assist
ance and the body was carried to the dead
room of the hospital.

The Forest Glen Hote1.

The Forest Glen Hotel, ON the Metro
politan Branch of the b. & o. Railroad,
passes into new management on the Both
of this month. Mr.. Smith Wormley after
that date will conduct the house. His long
connection with the famous hosiery on
Fifteenth street is sufficient guarantee of
the success of his latest venture. Mr..
Wormley possesses what few hotel mana
gers do, an intimate and practical knowl-
edge of kitchen and cuisine. Under his
fathers direction, the late James Worm
ley, he studied every branch of the cult
nary art and can inform some of the best
chefs in the country. His cook is re-
cent importation from France. The hotel
has been thoroughly renovated and re-
furnished. All the advantages of the past
that has made it 50 desirable a summer
resort will be redoubled in the future,

young ladies of the Academy. The pro-
gramme consisted of a grand march by
Miss Elliotts entire school, led by Miss
Florence Beale, and many fancy dances.
The members of Georgetown Council,
No. 907, A. j.. of Honor, were very agrea-
bly, surprised at their meeting last even
ming by an unexpected fraternal visit
from Northern Liberty Council, No. 534,
but like all other Georgetown institutions
and associations, after rubbing their eyes
and becoming fully awake they were
equal to the occasion and displayed their
usual hospitality in a generous manner.
No other organization III the District can
boast of membership composed so
largely of representative business men,
although from its character it must neces-
sarily limit the membership to those who
can pass strict medical examination.
Addresses were delivered by DR.. Meal

Beecher and Hatfield made the star
play in bad fielding. Hatfield let ball
so through his hands and then Beecher
allowed it to pass him, so that the batter

Comiskey's boy was one of the sights
of the game The little fellow, who is not

From the display of sprlnting shown in
the field one would judge the Nationals
to be base runners. They are not, how
ever.

the record for the largest number of
straight defeats ever inflicted on a Wash
ington club.
Miller has reported and will pitch in
to-day's game.
Captain Arson came out triumphantly
from a general shaking up in the League
yesterday. One of the many changes in
standing which resulted from the games
placed Chicago in the lead, and another
lowered Philadelphia to sixth place. 1t is
predicted that the Phillies will not make
much of showing in the race on account
of poor pitchers.
Manager Powers of Buffalo says of his
offer to succeed Sharsig in charge of the
Athletics: 81 have neither accepted nor
declined as yet. | am somewhat dis
couraged with the meagre attendance at
the games in Buffalo thus far, and if it is
not to be any better think it would be a
matter of business for me to accept the
Philadelphia offer.n
