SLOAN FOULED.
Dastardly Attempt to Rob Doc
Wick of the Heat Race.

The heat race was expected to prove
the feature of the day. After a deal of
dancing they were sent off with HarpI-
ness, the favorite,. at disadvantage.
Doc Wick began settin g the pace, but
down the back stretch Elliot brought
Secret up and her old gold was in the
lead. Doc Wick second and Emmett
third, in which position he had run
from the post. Doc Wick's white and
red colors showed first into the stretch,
with Secret second aud Emmett third.
Happiness began to move up fast.
She shot past Secret with her long
strides and was soon up with Doc Wick,
who was taking his punishment bravely.
Then it was a struggle with Emmett.
Neither horse was whipping. and En-
NETT won by the shortest nose, Happi-
ness second and Doc Wick third. Dyer
and SWanena. were distanced.
Doc Wick got long way the best of
the start for the second heat. He split
through at full run while the others
were under pull, but the starter tapped
the drum and before the field could re-
cover themselves, Doc Wick was five
lengths in the. lead. He ran all the way
to the wire with good opening, EN-
NETT coming second and Happiness
third.
Excitement ran riot when the run off
started and Emmett took the lead. The
money of the talent was on Doc Wick.
Emmett led around to the turn, when
Doc Wick came on the wings of the
wind and Tapped, but he suddenly
stopped and fell back. Sloan had
slashed him in the face with his whip.

Doc Wick had gallantly recovered him.

pace, closing up the gap with every
stride. About fifty yards from the wire,
Emmett deliberately crossed ahead of
Doc Wick and changed his whip hand
so that Doc had to pull back. After
wrangle, in which the excited people
who had run pell nell into the track
got into free fight, and the police were
required to quell the row. The judges
allowed the claim of foul and gave the
race to Doc Wick. The shout that went
up voiced the emphatic approval of the
spectators.

FATAL COLLISION.
Excursion and Mail Trains in s.
Crash.

CHAMPLAIN, n. Y, Aug. 5.-A train
conveying a Sunday school excursion
from Ellenburg, Rouse's Point and in
tervening stations on the Central YER
mont railroad, ran into mail train,
which had the right of way, just
east of this station at $40 o'clock to-
night, The excursion train had many
persons OH board and was returning
from Wellsborough point. William
Angel, aged about seventeen, a son Of
a merchant of this place, and Sim Ven
EFT, a laborer, of Chateaugay Lake.
were killed outright, and some
twenty people were more or less
injured. The more seriously injured
are: Henry La Maintain, of Champlain,
both legs cut off below the knees, but it
is thought he will live; Sydney William
Moore, both legs broken; Henry SWEET,
of Eilenburg Center, arm fractured and
body and limbs bruised; John
Patterson, of Perry'S Mills, leg
broken; Mrs. Lewis, of Mora,
head and limbs bruised; Miss A. Bate

KISSED THE GOVERNOR.
Mr.. Winans Has Made Himself
Unpopular.

DETROIT. Aug. 5.-The sensation of
the hour is the demonstrations against
Gov. Winans which were made at the
big camp fires held last night in compli-
ment to the commander-in-chief. The
unpopularitY of the chief executive of
the state is due to the fact that he ve-
tOed as unconstitutional the appropria-
ton of $4,000 which was made by the
legislature for the purpose of entertain
ing the encampment. AT the big meet
ing in the rink last night Lieut.. Gov.
Blair poured hot shot into his latest sue
cessor, declaring that if he had been
elected governor at the last election the
city of Detroit would not have been left
to extend a welcome. unaided. Before
he had concluded the immense audience
was on its feet and the place rang with
cheers, which were followed by groans
and Kisses for Winans. Later in the
uight, the 14,O00 people that were pres
ent at the reception of the Sons of Vet
Grams at Camp Sherman created such an
uproar, when Senator Stockbridge said
that it was unfortunate that the gov
ernOr of the state was absent, that he
was glad to change the subject.

DETROIT. Mich, Aug. 5.-The next
encampment OF the q. 4. r. will be
held at the nations capitOl-Washing-
ton, d. c. This was decided to-day on
the first ballot, and, although the par
tiSans of Lincoln, Neb., feel disap-
pointed, there is a general resolve by
veterans from all quarters to make the
encampment al Washington one worthy
of the capital of the union. The TWEEN
ty-hfth annual encampment OF theG a.
f. met in formal session this morning
in the mammoth hall that had been set
apart for the business deliberations
of the veterans. All that art and cult
ured taste could do to make the build
ing attractive had been eXerted in the
decorations which adorned the interior
in emblematic order. At the head of the
hall, over the platform; was a large q.
a. r. badge, tlanked Oh either
side by American flags, and in
the rear the grand seal OF
the United States, also set between
flags. From the ceiling hung clusters
of the flags of all the republics in the
world. The side walls were draped
with cream-c0lOred bunting, and the
windows bore curtains of
LambrequIns, Silk and Lace.
All around the balconies hung val
ances of garnet silk plush. embroidered
with silk. gold and araSene and tapestry
fringe. The plush was studded with
numerous suits of nickel-plated ancient
armOr. surrounded with groups Of
American flags of the army and navy
and bv American shields, with silver
wreaths of laurel. Despite the I'M
mensity Of the hall, it was crowded to
its utmost seating capacity by the null
Iitude of veterans attracted by the mo-
mentous questions to be settled at this
encampment of the order. 1t was fully
understood that the race question might
be precipitated in the deliberations at
any moment, and become the sub
ject of acrimonious discussions; and
this impending problem, together
with the projected revision Of the cOnsti-
tuition combined to heighten the general
interest in the proceedings. A few
minutes before the hour of opening
Gen. Veazey and his staff entered the
hail and were escorted to the grand
stand. The appearance of the com
mandeT-in-chief was the signal for gem
erOuS applause, and a minute later the
two bands burst forth in an inspiring
military air, in harmony with the martial
scene. Rapping the assemblage TO
order, the cOmmander-ln-chief an
nOunced the formal opening of tine
twenty-ifth annual encampment of the
G.. a. r., and directed the adjutant gen
neral to call the roll of departments.
Every state and territory in the Union
not even excepting far-off Alaska
was represented, and the roll showed
the fullest attendance of delegates in
the history of the organization. The
opening address of the COMMANDMENTS
chief was listened TO in rapt attention
by the assembled veterans.

THIRD PARTY TALK.
Not Much Else Is Done But Mouth
Shooting.

SPRINGFIELD. o., Aug. 5.-The Peo-
ple's party convention was called to
order at 2:SO p. m. by H. f. Barnes, OF
Tiffiin. Thore were about 400 delegates
present. The chair introduced as tenn
porary chairman Hugh Cavanagh, who
assured the assembly he esteemed it a
high honor to preside over the first
convention held in Ohio by the
Peoples party, composed of men and
women who have no axe to grind and
are not the tools of any politicians.
Their purpose is to serve notice on the
old parties they have outlived their use
fulness. He said the question with
which the party had to deal is who will
be the successor to the gentleman from
Mansfield. This movement will prove
that question and relegate John Sher-
man to the political oblivion that is en-
joyed by his friend Ingalls,. He would
not be surprised then to hear Sherman,
like ingalls,. denouncing the Shylocks
and money lenders in Wall
street. The party will not elect
a money king. Neither will it
elect man tainted with coal to the SEN
ate. He referred in scathing~ferms to
Brice, and said they would, at the polls,
protest against seating a senator from
two states.
Robert Schilling said the Peoples
party has declared in favor of free coin
age of silver, but the majority of mem
bers are not in favor of it, but they toll
crate it as the entering wedge by which
they hope to overturn the present mon
etary system. He said they hold that it
is just as safe for 1.-THE government TO
loan money on the products ofthe farm,
taking first mortgages. as it is for it to
loan on gold and silver as it is now do
Ing when it issues the silver and gold
certificates.
Tonight Eva McDonald-Valesh, of st.
Paul, addressed the delegates. The
committee on resolutions has been
wrestling with the platform since 8 p.
m, and at 10 adjourned until tomorrow
morning without having reached con-
clusion. The sticking points are prohi-
bition, land tax and farm product loan

A Windy City Physician Can Max

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Dr. E. N. Case,
the well-knOwn physician, was secretly
arrested last night, charged with the
violation of the laws in regard to the
manufacture of opium. 1t is learned
that he sent some of it to San Francisco
for sale among the Chinese there, but
it is not known that he sold
any. The doctor himself says he has
been experimenting for years in the
manufacture of this liquid, being an ex-
pert chemist, and he thought he had ar
rived at results that would revolution
ize the opium trade. He claims that he
was only experimenting and that he had
legal advice that he was not violating
the law. He was released on his own
recognizance this morning, and the dis
trict attorney will forward report of

Eloquent Opening by the Com
mander-in-Chief.
DETROIT, Aug. 5.-"Comrades," said
Gen. Veazey, ''this Is the silver ami
versary of BIRTH, not wedding. The
wedding occurred when the BRIDE
grOoms, the youth of the land, enlisted
in its defense. Abraham Lincoln cele-
brated the nuptials. Columbia was the
bride. Her vesture was the nations
flag. The pledge to re-establiSh that
flag over the domain of Secessia was
the price of her hand. When the pledge
was grandly redeemed through bloody
strife, through suffering and death,
and after the YictOrS had placed on
the brow of the bride new
diadem. whose gems were honor, ValOr,
fame. liberty untainted With slavery,
country reunited and free, the fruit Of
that marriage was the Grand Army Of
the Republic, an offspring worthy of
its royal paTentage. The date of the
birth was April 8, 1866. The ObServ-
Rnce of this silver anniversary began on
the 9th day of April in this year. in ev-
cry town and city in all this broad
country where posts existed"
Reference was theu made by Gen.
VeaZey to the increasing esteem of the
g. a Il. by the people generally, and
comrades in particular. A fitting allu
sion was made to the numerous deaths
in the order during the past year, spe-
cial reference being made to the deaths
of Sherman, Porter and Hamlin. A
passing tribute was paid to the present
and prospective usefulness Of the Sons
of Veterans. The Organization has had
a rapid growth the past year, more
than 10000 having been mus
tered in since July 80, 1890.
ThiUty-twO states and territories
have been organized as divisions with
more than $500 subordinate corps. Dur
ing the year now closing the q. A. r.
paid out from its relief fund the sum of
1885, ,699S5. During the same period the
WOman's Relief corps paid to distressed
comrades the sum of 1852, 1000. These
figures show large increase over the
amount Of any previous year. The total
amount of reliet paid out by the g. a.
r., not including auxiliary bodies, since
1870 is 3. 100000.
In referring to Mt. McGregOr cottage.
where Gen. Grant died. Gen. VeaZey
recommended that this encampment
take action to secure from the govern
ment an appropriation for the mainten-
ance of the property, which it is designed
to preserve in the same condition
IL was al Ine uelllSe Ol UtIl' OIdlll' l ne
expense is about $500 year. Failing
an appropriation by congress, it is sug-
gested that trust fund be established,
or the maintenance of the cottage be
insured by charging a fee to visitors.
The question of creating memorial
hall at Decatur. H., the birthplace of
the G.. A. r., was brought up in the way
of a recommendation that this encamp-
ment take action to aid the project SO
well started. In regard to the disability
pension bill passed by the last congress,
Gen. Veazey SAID that il it is not the
wisest, it is certainly a liberal measure.
The only new department chartered the
past year was that of the Indian Ter

SCALDED BY STEAM.
A Wrecked Engine Kills Two and
IniureS MANY.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. 5.-News
has lust reached here of a frightful az
cident which occurred at point called
Switch Back, on tue West Virginia
Central railroad, about sixty miles from
here. This morning, as usual, the
men, seventeen in number, boarded the
tram road engine to go to their work IN
the lumber regions. Two women asked
permission to ride out a short distance
to a berry patch. Their request was
granted, and the engine containing the
nineteen passengers started. 1t had
hardly gotten under good headway
7hen the engine struck piece of TIM
ber that was lying on the track, turn
ing it completely over. The occurrence
was so sudden that none of the people
on the engine had chance to escape,
and all were more or less injured, either
by escaping steam or from the fall OF
the engine. In an instant everything
was in an uproar, women screaming,
men moaning and the escaping steam
from the broken pipes of the engine
made scene that was heartrendlng.
AS soon as the men who were the
least injured could manage to eXtrlcate
themselves, they went to work to
release their more unfortunate COM
rades, whose condition was pitiable to
behold. The first person extricated
was Alice Robinson. The escaping
steam had cooked the flesh on her face,
arms and hands in horrible manner,
and her injuries are considered fatal.
John Mckenzie, who lives at Frostberg,
was caught under the engine and
scalded so badly that he died last even
ing. Five others are seriously but not
fatally injured.

talent, and he proved good thing.
Dyer, an aged horse that has been
sent to the Hamline stables as candi-
date for the gentlemen's riding race,
surprised people by making a furious
dash from the post and showing the
way. Next came Consignee easily, and
Ed Leonard third. Around the turn
Dyer still showed his colors gallantly,

THE KAISER'S FALL.
1t Is Now Attributed to an Epi-
Ieptic Fit.

PARIS, Aug. Sit is now stated on
the best authority that the injury to the
emperor's knee which he received by
falling when on board his yacht, the
Hohenzollern, was caused through slip
ping on the wet deck. As was originally
announced, the emperoror was standing
at the head of the short run of steps
leading from the upper to the main
deck, and was conversing with an Off
Ger, when he was suddenly seized with
an epileptic fit and he fell down the
steps. His majesty has had several of
these fits since he left London, and as it
is known that he had two or three while
he was the guest of the English people,
the news caused great uneaSinesS.

CONSOLATION PURSE.

of Innocence by a Short Nose.
No time was lost in getting the per-
formers off in the first race. This was
a sort of consolation purse for horses
that had not won place during the
meeting, and this fact contributed to
the interest in the event. None of the
horses had been placed and therefore
it was difficult to judge their relative
value from betting point of view.
Buckthorn, the rank long shot, opened
proceedings by showing the way from
the post, but he didn't last long. At
the turn Innocence came up like flash
and her colors showed neck liz the
the back stretch, with Buckthorn
second and Glockner third. Glockner
seemed to be riding easy, and many
thought he would be able to beat out
the field at the finish. Royal My Queen
ran along among the trailers with grace
full ease. She was husbanding her
strength. Comedy ran steady and
