CHICAGO, June 20.-Death to one horse
$4,000 TO another-that was the Americaa
Derby OF 1891. IL was by Strgchmeath,
New Yorl5's lavorite son, tde butte wa
won. Half q mileofT, where had been the
thick Of the fight lay motionless on the
track the corpse Of his foe TO the death,
High Tariff Tom Kiley, the gallant
beasts rider, twice a Derby winner on that
very course, had this time pushed the
limit Of equine endurance. There was u
sudden plunge upward, q queer gger of
twenty yards and High Tariff sunk down
in the mud ifeless.
Whether in point of great horses, famous
j0ckies, magnlhcence OF fashionable dis
play and marvellous outpouring OF people,
rs well as in the sensational incidents and
bulky purse, probably no such race was
ever witnessed this sideof the Alicghcnies.
Not one OF the seven Derbies in preceding

TIE GLAsswoRKERs'
Annual Picnic at the Fair Grounds Yester-
dny,

The annual picnic OF Local Union No. 9,
American Flint Glass Workers Union
an event which is always looked forward
to with most pleasant anticipation by the
glasswokers and their fami lies---came off
Yesterday at the State Fair Grounds, and
despite the unfavorable weather, may be
said 10 have been a success.
The parade in the morning, which was
one Of the feature OF the DAYS observance.
was one of the best turnouts, ever given by
that organization. No 9tuned out almost
its full membership, there being about one
hundred and seventy men in line. Eac1
wore the badge OF the American FIiRts,
aud neat OOutOniers on the iape.S Of their
coats and carried canes The line formed
at Trades Assembly Hall, ana headed by
Myers, full brass band, proceeded over the
following route:
South on Market to Twentieth, east on
Twentieth 10 Chapline. south on Chaplne
to TWenty-fOurtb, west on TWenty-f0urth
to Main, north on Main to Sixteenth, east
on Sixteenth TO Market, north on Market
TO Eleventh, west OF Eleventh To Main,
south on Main to Twelfth, west on Twelfth
to Water, where the company disbanded
and were taken across the river 10 the Far
Grounds. John Corcoran acted rs CHIEF
Marshal The precise marching OF the
line was everywhere mark Of admiration.
Al the Fair Grounds the crowd gathered
rapidly, and by noon quite Il large number
Of people were on the grounds. They dls-
ported themselves ia various ways, there
being no end Of amCsements. Mayors Or
chestra took It's position on the dancing
floor and discOursed programme OF dance
music, 10 which the devOtees OF that diver
sion whiled away the hours until dusk
D. i,,~ ,.o.lyc obOnfipcr lpfetac and tho in
dispensi Die refreshment booths were on the
grounds in large numbers, and they were
literally patronized. A noticeable fact, and
one which was frequently commented upon
was the absence OF any disturbance TO mar
the pleasure OF the occasion.
At half-past three O'Clock there were
probably eight hundred people Oh the
grounds, but the sky clOuded up, and those
who contemplated attending the picnic
were prevented from doing 50 by the threat
ening aspect Of the weather. Shortly be-
fore four o'clock a brisk shower fell, which
although gladly welcomed by many per
sons, acted as a damper upon the ardor OF
the gentlemen in charge Ofthe affair. The
crowd was large when the inclement
weather is taken into consideration, hut il
was probably the smallest crowd that ever
attended an annual reunion Of Local Union
No. ..
On account Of the rain, the programme
of amusements which had been prepared
was not CARED out, and most of the crowd
found shelter on the dancing platform. AT
six O'Clock the contest for Tue prizes for
best lady and gentleman waltzer came OF.
The Judges were Henry Schafer, Mr.. Cru
Der and Charles Baker, and the prizes, two
fine sets OF glassware, were awarded ID
Phil COslow and Miss Maggie Hoe.

On the reverse side of the card was
written in ink: "225 East Twenty-SecOnd

This was sufficient for unsuspecting
Mrs HidehOf VINO had been in this coun-
try but a short time longer than her
charge. According 10 Mrs. Hidehof the
woman was well dressed and acted as one
accustomed to assist deserving girls TO
positions.
When the visitor met Augusta she said
that a Miss Allen Of North Milford wanted
a servant, and she had called TO offer the
place.
The representative of the employment
bureau said that man was waiting 10
escort the girl 70 her future home, which

At first. Mrs. Hildehof says, Augusta
hesitated, but when assured that il meant
fair wages and good home the girl started

story of what followed was told yesterday
ia these words:

relative, Mrs Hildehof-5 feet I inches.
He took me on the Elevated road down TO

in the direction We had come. The man
could speak little German, and told me
that some women would meet me just out
side the town and take care Of me, as he
had 10 20 back to the city"
The remainder of Miss Usinger's story
covers the outline of an assault under
threats of personal harm, re-enforced by
the display of knife and handkerchief
soaked with chloroform.
Mr and Mrs. HildehOf, when seen at
their house last evening, said that they
were satisfied of the purity OF the girl up
10 the time she had gone to take the posi-
tiou promis sed her at North Milford.
MIR. Hildehof stated that the girl had re-
turned TO them thoroughly broken down,
and told a straightforward story, which ne
believed. He had taken her to the Nine
teenth Precinct station house for the pur-
pose Of apprehending the scoundrel VINO
had committed the assault
According TO the story as told by the rela-
tiveS. the girl was kept just outside town
nOt over fifteen miles from New Haven
from seven o'clock at night until three
o'clock the next morning
Miss Usinger then walked to the nearest
rai~oad station and was provided with a
ticAet TO New Haven, from which point she
took the boat TO this city.
Captain Reilly, OF the Nineteenth Pre-
cinct, was seen, but declined to be inter
viewed on the subject, stating that he
could neither affirm nor deny the story. c
Miss Usinger was brought into the sta
tion house while the Captain was talking
From outside sources it was learned that
three detectives were on the case, and the
man who had taken the girl to New Haven
would be behind the bars before noon to-
day

a Miner Beaten Fearfully by Two Men.
Animus Of the Assault.


Special Telegram to the Sunday Register.
FAIRMoNT, June 20.-Last night about u
o'clock Lee Dillon and Alex Rhoden, en-
ployed IS miners at the West Fairmont
shaft, went to the home of Robert Thomp-
son, who lives about one and half miles
from here on the Wheeling pike, gained an
entrance to his house and used Thompson
up in a fearful manner. They each took
stone and beat the man over the head, and
then shot him in the left side with 81
calibre revolver.
Some of his neghbors went to his house
this morning, and finding him in precari-
GUS condition came to town and notified
the officers. Onioers Fleming and Hamil-
ton arrested Dillon anu Rhoden at the
shaft about noon, and brought them TO
town and placed them in Jail TO await the
result of the mans injuries.
The trouble seems to. have been that
Rhoden and Dillon had been too intimate
with Mrs. Thompson and Thompson had re-
sented their attentions, which resulted as
above described. ThompsGn's injuries are
such that he is liable to die at any time.
