PERSIAN hORsE RACES.
The Modern Sport Was Known IN Eng
land Only 275 Years Ago.

Horse racing undoubtedly began with
the use OF the horse, for that animal ap-
pears to enjoy racing as much as does
his master The Persians prooaoiy
conducted the first races. The Greeks
introduced chariot races in their Olym-
plan and other games.
These races were very spirited, ana
gave satisfaction to the crowds OF spec
tators in proportion to the number OF
chariots which collided, with the re-
suit of killing horses, drivers and spec
tstors. As the spectators stood on the
ground and crowded closely about the
small circular tracks they frequently
contributed TO the interest OF the races
by allowing a few of their number to be
run over and killed.
The Roman patroniZed chariot racing
and also introduced mounted races.
The Jockeys rode without saddles, wore
colors and received handsome prizes Tor
their skill and daring. Circus tricks
were features in these contests.
Horse racing in Franco was common
in the sixth century. In one case the
winner received for a prize the hand Of
q titled lady. In the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries regular tracks were
built and running races held in Eng
land.
The modern English running race,
however, dates back 275 years. James
l. was it's royal patron. His nephew,
Charles H., had fine stable OF horses,
which he entered in races. He intro
duced the practice Of eQualizing the
weight of riders and formulated many
other rules and regulations which TO-
day govern running races. Silver cups
worth $500 each were given as prizes.
During the reign of George ~, rae
ing received q great impetus. One noble
man lost 1000, 600 on beta. Fast run
ners sold as high as $4,000 each. The
king had d fine stable, and imported
many choice Arabian horses, which i'm
proved the breed, and helped to found
the present breed OF Anglo-Arab horses.
The hurdle race, which had its origin
In ireland, was introduced into England
by George ".
Horse trotting is essentially an Ameri-
can institution and dates back about
100 years. The only other country in
which the trotting races arc popular is
Russia, where much attention is paid
to breeding trotters.

Congressman Pearson's plurality 10
/ the sixteenth Ohio district will not
vary much from 200. The official vote
OF Carroll, Harrison and Jefferson gives
| Col. Poorman a total majority Of 2,15l,
and the official vote Of Monroe county
gives Judge Pearson 2,29S plurality

lbut it Is thought il will show very
small plurality for Pearson.

the event Of the Democratic State ticket

Judge OF the Supreme Court of the
State, in the person OF John B. briggs,
/ Judge OF the BelmOnt-MOnroe Common
Pleas Court, VINO is one Of the candl-
dates on the Democratic ticket.
Now that the contest has been settled
/ Col. Poorman and his friends are busy
calculating the cause OF the defeat OF
/ TIE Secretary OF State for a berth IN
| Washington. The facts Of the case are
plain enough-the Republicans knitted
/ Poorman on every hand. Had there
been no cutting the Colonel would have
/ gone TO Congress with majority OF
/ / 200 or ], 800. In Bel!aire there were
81 Republicans who scratched their
ticket, aud there were "a Democrats,
who, out of home pride, gave the Re-
publican candidate their suffrage. Had
/ il not been for the latter Poorman
/ would have had very poor showing
\ from home. The Republican candidate
failed to heal the sores made
during the contest for the
nomination. It is openly asserted by
( the friends of POOrman that in Barnes
Vile he was traded by Republicans to
\ GET votes for the Republican candidate
/ Tor Sheriff, but It is thought there is
some mistake about this by the more
! conservative members Of the party.
/ Mr.. Poorman finds some consolation in
! the fact that he was not the only men,
Der of his party who suffered defeat.
. This is poor balm for wounded feelings,
/ however. After life of defeat the
statesman from Bellaire had hoped to
climb the political ladder and all looked
Iauspicious, but the landslide on Tues
/ day buried all his hopes and ambitious.
One would think after the treatment
the Colonel has received he would cease
to be radical epubican-cOmed down
off his perch and treat Democrats as
creatures worthy OF existence and give
the party credit for some Of its virtues,
at least.
Itnow seems that J. A. Henderson
"a nd i
dates for Auditor and Recorder at the
recent election, were the only Demo
Gratis elected on the county ticket, al
| though Miles Il. Hart, candidate for
/ Commissioner, made an exceedingly
close race with his Republican opponent.
All three of these gentlemen made mag
ni6cent runs in this city, but Dreamer
had little the best of IL, receiving the
highest vote and carrying the city and
township by a handsome majority.

observations Tending to Show connec
ton between Them.


1t is pretty well established that every
ten or twelve years, when the NUMBER
of sun spots attains maximum, there
is also an increase in the number OF au-
roral displays. and it has also cen
pointed cut that when auroras are nu-
merous lightning is less frequent, says
the London Globe.
An interesting contribution to this
subject appears in a recent issue OF
Nature from the pen of Mr.. A. b. Nc
Dowell, NJ. A, a skillful ssndent OF nat
ural phenomena, who illustrates, by the
methods Of curves drawn from statistics,
observations extending over long Pc
riod.
The balance of evidence thus far goes
to show that high temperatures on the
earth correspond with an unSpotted
condition OF the sun and that lightning
accompanies high temperature. On the
other hand, low temperatures appear 10
attend a spotted condition or the sun.
Aurora also seem 10 accompany pre-
valence Of the solar spots, but whether
they are due to the low temperature or
some other cause is not quite so clear as

About six years ago Professor Won
Bezold found from an examination OF
lightning strokes In Bavaria that a min
imum number Of destructive lightning
flashes occurred during maximum
number of sun spots, with indications
OF a secondary minimum Of lightning
nearly corresponding with minimum
number OF sun spots.
A somewhat similar result has been
obtained by Professor Fritz from a
study of thunderstorms in the Indian
Archipelago. IN the words Of Pro-
lessor Won Bezold, "high temperature
and a spotless solar surface give years
Astounding in thunderstornis.
Mr.. Mcdowell has drawn two curves
from observations made at Berlin and
Geneva since the years 1850 and 1859,
from which it appears that a maximum
number of thunderstorms correspond
fairly well with minimum number Of
sun spots.

lam eager, colored, aged about -
years, and two colored boys aged about
II each, Esau eager and Frank Levi.
The arrests were made on suspicion
that the trio were implicated in the
death OF Rebecca eager, colored, whose
dead body, with three bullet wounds in
It, was found near Colesville, in Howard
county, on Wednesday OF last week.
The man, William eager, was the wom-
ans husband, and the boy Esau IS his
son by another woman. The prisoners
are held for a hearing before Justice
Harrison C. White.
Feeling is said to run high among the
colored people of the neighborhood in
which the affair took place. 1t is said
that in accordance with well-known
superstition the placing Of hands upon
the corpse after it had been discovered
was required OF the assemblage that had
gathered around, it being the belief
that should the murderer'S hands touch
the body blood would fow afreSh from
the wounds. According 20 the story as
told, Esau was unwilling to go near
the body, and endeayored to
hide. He was found, however,
and forced 20 do as the others had
done. Blood did flow from the wounds
when the struggling boys hands were
forced upon the BODY, but whether from
undue pressure or not cannot be anthem
ticated, but the colored people got the
idea that the unmistakable evidence,
according to the superstition, Of the
murderer'S presence had been made
manifest, and it looked as il ESau was

THE EAST AND WEST.

Gigantic Scheme Being Considered by
Railroad Magnntcs-The Wabash aud
ReadIng-Tho City of Wheeling on tho
Connecting LUX.
Toledo Commercial
The greatest railroad scheme which
has turned up for many day, is the
one now being considered. 1t isno less
a gigantic proposition than one to tic
tho east and west together by new
trunk line, which in proportions will
exceed anything in the United States
to-day. Railroads havo learned that
they cannot become great and indepen.
dent by combining themselves to one
particular locality, and so the tendency
is to spread out in all directions so as to
form continuous line from the great
northwest and thence to tho Pacific
coast, to the Atlantic ocean, or from the
great lakes to the Gulf oil Mexico. The
great scheme is nothing less than one
TO unto the Philadelphia & Reading
system in tho east, With the great
Wabash system in the west. The Phila-
deIphia & Reading has access to all the
traffic IN the New England states, but
its lines only run westward as far as AL
toona, Pa. The Wabash system has ac-
cess to all the traffic in the southern,
southwestern and western states, but
only runs eastward as far as Toledo.
The Philadelphia & Reading stops Mt
Altoona, Pa, and the Wabash at Toledo,
and the distance between these two
places is all that separates the two great
systems from forming gigantic traffic
arrangement. The distance between
these cities is q little over 400 miles,
and new road can DO constructed
through tho territory between the two
cities for less than S5,0OO,000. With a
connecting link between these two
great systems they could challenge all
the railroads OF America to mortal COM
bat.
1t is well known from good inside
authority that these two great systems
are figuring on either building or pur-
chasing u link OF railroad between Al
toona and Toledo, which will connect
them. The Wheeling & Lake Erie rail-
road would form link from Toledo 10
Steubenville or Wheeling, and from
Wheeling to- pittsburgh one OF the
local lines could be used, and from
Pittsburgh to Altoona, distance OF $50
miles, new line would have TO be
built.
As rule, railroad men keep their
plans away from the general public
until they are ready to carry them out,
but it can be generally ioretold by the
conduct and policy OF certain railroads

New York, Dec. 11.-Albert DeIeur,
n wealthy contractor OF Milwaukee,
Wis, has been missing since Sunday,
December 4. He came to this city
about two weeks ago and stopped at
the Fifth Avenue hotel, where he left
an unpaid board bill and his luggage.
The missing mans wife came to this
city on Saturday in quest OF her hus-
band. She states he took about 5000
with him when he left home She also
admitted that on a former occasion Mr..
DeLeur absented himself from home
for several weeks, and he explained his
absence on business grounds, but it was
subsequently learned that he had been
taken suddenly insane and was confined
in an asylum. She thinks, however,
that he recovered at that time.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1892-12-13

what they intend to do. Tho Wheeling
& Lake Erie railroad is getting ready to
build line through from Wheeling to
McConnellsville. This would bring the
Wheeling & Lake Erie within a few
miles OF Altoona and would almost COM
plete the entire link between the Phila-
delphia & Reading and the Wabash sys-
tens. 1t would mean that the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie could sell out at good
figure 10 this combination, or could
enter into n traffic arrangement with the
two systems which would place the
Wheeling & Lake Erie on thetop OF the
pinnacle in few years. There is also
another solution to this great problem.
1t will be remembered that u number Of
Toledo gentlemen secured incorpora-
ton papers last summer for line Of
railroad between Toledo and Steuben-
vile to be known as tho Toledo, Bow
erston & Steubenville railway company
This all appeared very innocent and
harmless-llke at the time, but tho de-
velopments OF the last six weeks show
that it was no mere guess work, or the
incorporation OF railroad company at
random.
Several OF the best posted railway
men in the country say that this COM
bination is bound to come inside OF
the next year. President Mcleod, Of
the Philadelphia & Reading, and Pres-
dent Ashley, OF the Wabash, have been
visiting each other quite frequently
during the past six months and the
two great magnates have figured out
the scheme.
