Although Well Backed He Is
Badly Beaten.
The indomitable Guido was ready for
the next race, and he was played the
favorite, too, despite his defeat. He
opened proceedings by leading the party
past the grand stand and around the
bend when SamSayres ambition prompt
ed him to exhibit his mettle. He
dashed to the front and held it down
the back stretch to the half, where the
proud Guido galloped up on even terms
with Ed Leonard, now running second.
Pomfret, representing quite a deal of
money, ran on behind trailing the
others. 'Its Pomfrets race" cried an
excited man who had all his money that
way. HE is taking things easy for
great finish"
But Guido without extending himself
in the least, still ran on ahead and Ed
Leonard working hard at his heels.
Sam Sayre and Alvin were clearly out
of it. Guido darted into the stretch at
full speed. Ed Leonard came next, five
lengths behind, laboring his best and
Pomfret third. Fink belabored Ed
Leonard the length of the stretch. but
he could not overtake the great Guido,
who cantered under the wire amidst the
most enthusiastic cheering, a winner by
a length. Ed Leonard was six lengths
ahead of Pomfret.

THE RIPPER" REVIVED.
Another White Chapel Woman
Cut to Death.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-The White Chapel
district was to-day again thrown into a
ferment of excitement by the commits
sion of crime the character of which
suggests it having been perpetrated by
"Jack the Ripper" Early this MORN
ing an unknown man attacked woman
named Wolfe. seventy years of age,
and a resident of White Chapel. When
aid reached the mortally wounded
woman. it was seen that her throat had
been cut and that she had been stabbed
in the body and in one arm. She is dy-
ing. Her assailant escaped, and so far
the police are without any knowledge
as to his whereabouts. Of his identity
nothing is known more than the circum-
stances and nature of the crime point to
the "Ripper" as the murderer.
1t has been ascertained that the
woman was a German, who does not
understand the English language. By
the aid of a translator and with much
difficulty. it has been gathered from her
that the man sprang upon her and at
tackled her without word of warning,
She suddenly saw the glitter OF knife
and mechanically raised her arm to
ward off the blow. Then she fell to the
doorstep where she was subsequently
discovered. She was unable to make
the passing people Understand her
plight and remained where she fell un-
Til the officers finally came to her as
sistance. On the arrival Of the police
razor smeared with blood was found
lying near the wounded woman. One
arrest has been made by the police. but
it Is considered an uniIllportant one.
The police ipsist on theory Of sui

Was insured for $50 for the benefit of

structed to ascertain the origin of the
outrageous story published IN French
newspaper, accusing the kaiser of haV-
ing killed a lieutenant in drunken

accustomed to ignore libelS in the
French press, it is said that Chancellos

ignored, and it is possible that,
if an apology is not proffered.
the French ambassador at Berlin may be
given his passports, not with a view TO
war, but as an evidence of the lndlgIa-
ton of Germany. 1t is understood that
the kaiser himself has not yet been
made aware of the statements OF the
French press, and that when he is there
may be a scene i'll which the French

and set the pace the length OF the back

place, but Laura Agnes quickly dis
placed her again. Then Eli pushed
ahead under a strong pull to second
place, and Tapped Jim Dunn, who
showed signs of distress on the turn
and was given the whip. 1t was ap-

Rumor says here that Mrs. Snyder was
after a divorce and that it was agreed
between herself and husband that he
should come to Dakota for the decree.
During her stay here Mrs. Snyder was
constantly receiving letters from Good

GUIDO GOT PLACE.
Fortunatus Defeats the Crack of
the HamIine Track.

Prince Fortunatus was the tip for the
free handicap sweepstakes of mile
and furlong, although the undefeated
Guido was the fayorte in the betting at
even money. The betting went rather
slow, caution being the dominating
characteristic. Guido got away from
the posi- first, riding easy, Ed Hopper
coming fast next. AT the stand Ed
HOrper's black and red colOrs had the
lead, with Guido's blue running second,
but the three were we'll punched. FltZ-
patrick pulled Guido up on the first
turn, and the black Prince started to do
battle with Ed Hopper, who was still
showing the way. 1t was an easy run
down the back stretch in the same
order. each apparently outstanding his
strength for a driving finish. Ed Hopper
began to show distress on the final turn
and Prince Fortunatus ran up level with
him, and, keeping right on at rafting
clip, he came first into the stretch, with
Hopper second. The Prince extended
himself magniticently. and was soon
five lengths ahead. Fitzpatrick swung
his whip for the place. He dispalred of
anything better, but he closed up the
wide gap with each effort. Hopper had
been beaten, and then "Fltz' rode easy,
coming in length behind Prince, and
over length in front of Hopper.

ENGLISH LEGISLATION.
Forecast of Bills the Ministers
Have in Hand.

LONDON, Aug, 7.-Besides the Irish
local bill the ministers have perfected
an important English measure develop
ing the existing system OF local govern
ment by creating district councils, and
bills to assist the purchase of land in
small allOtments, and an amendment in
favor of workmen the law affecting the
liability of employers will re-appear
with every chance of passing.
The opposition are quite prepared
to see the government succeed i'll
carrying these and other minor popular
measures without fearing that the cabi-
net will be thereby so strengthened as
to avert defeat on an appeal to the coun-
try. The burden of the work of the re-
cess rests upon Mr.. BalfOur. In his
Irish local government bill, it is under
stood, the feature will be the franchise,
the electors of the county boards being
confined to persons actually paying
rates. The measure will bear the small
est possible resemblance to home rule
measure. The leading principle will
prevent boards created under its pro-
visions from being controlled by the
masses.

TRUE TO PARNELL.

His Adherents.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Mr. Dillon, while
here, conferred increasingly with Par

chism in the Irish party. He found
them resolutely opposed to MIR. Par
nelrs retirement as a condition of re-
union. Several intimated their inten-
ton to withdraw from public life, but
during the tenure of their places in the
house of commons they will adhere to
their old leader. The meeting of Messrs,
Dillon, O'Brien, Mccarthy and Sexton,
to deliberate OH the future leadership of
the party, resulted in an agreement
that Mr.. Dillon should be formally in
vested with the leadership when par
lament reassembles. Meanwhile Mr.
Mccarthy will be the nominal chief,
though Mr.. Dillon will be the virtual
leader. This arrangement settles ru-
mOrs ascribing to Mr.. Sexton an inten
