tendency to matcrialism in this coun-

been accumulated with remarkable
rapidity. The young man, In the Opn.

has become prominent in business or
politics, or has accumulated great
wealth, and he Is taken for the model.
But the higher domain Of morals, the
better things of faith, love and good

standard Of wealth or power are neg
lccted or ignored altogether. But great
ness is in the man, and not In what ho
has. The unseen things are eternal,

Nothing that Nancy Hanks does In the way
Of speed seems TO be surprising, so when
she placed the worlds record Rt :04 this
afternoon the big crowd was quite prepared
for the feat.

spectators, who greeted them with loud
applause.

she was trotting at a rate that carried her

was made in 81 seconds everybody with a
watch felt that something wonderful WAS
at hand. Up the back stretch there was
no percepuble change, though the second
quarter was slower, tho half being made In

Along the straight 10 the third quarter
the peerless mare came at clip that made
the earlier part Of the mile seem slow, taxi
ing only 295S seconds 10 cover the distance.
Round the turn she came without q fal-
ter, moving like well regulated clock
work with Doole helping her Starter
Walker requested everybody 20 keep stll
until the mare finished, but be had scarcely
finished speaking when her nose was even
with the wire, and the watches stopped at

yond the power OF any horse that trotted or

road Wrecks Week at the Worlds
Fair for the Benefit OF Spectators.
CHICAGO, September 2s.-An engineer
of the Louisville and New Albany rail-
road, whose name has not yet been re-
vealed, is responsible for one OF the
most novel Worlds Fair schemes yet
formulated. His idea IS TO lease a piece
of land near the Exposition Grounds
and build railway track mile In cir
cumference with another track inside,
both tracks TO be connected by switch
es. Around one side OF the track
he would build an smphitheater
with a seating capacity for thirty thou
sand people. On these tracks be
would place two locomotives. He
would start these two engines In oppo-
site directions and when at full speed
the connecting switches would be
thrown open and the locomotives al
lowed 70 collide. To make the collision
realistic he would have the engineers
and firemen jump in time TO save their
lives. IL is his opinion that real rail-
road wreck would be an attractive spec
tacle.
he says he can furnish an entertain
ment OF this sort for 81, 500 perform
ance about twice week. II is bis idea
TO use abandoned locomotives which can
be bought cheap aud he says that the
beauty Of the project lies In the fact
that this Is an easy and profitable way
10 break the old locomotives 70 pieces
and get the old iron. The engineer Is
still looking for backer.

POSTPONED TILL MONDAY.
Labor Commissioner Peck's Plea Post
poned Till That Day.

poned Till That Day
Albany. n. Y, September 2S.-Labor
Commissioner Peck and his stenogra
pber. Ebert Rodgers, appeared in the
Court of Sessions this afternoon at three
o'clock, the time set for them TO plead TO
the indictments found against them for
destroying public records.
District Attorney Eaton, and MS assist
ant, Mark Cohen, for the prosecution; I'd
ward J. Meegan for the defense, Commits
sioner Peck and large number OF inter
ested spectators were present.
Mr.. Meegan opened the arguments ash
ing that the indictment be sent back 70 the
police court, so the case can be regularly
and legally tried. In support OF this con-
tention. he read an affidavit OF Mr. Peck
and Mr.. Rodgers. rehearsing their arraign-
ment in the police court and their su0se-
uuent indictment by the grand jury on the
same charge. and saying: "Ihe secret
action in the police court and before the
grand jury on the part Of the District At
tOrney was prejudicial 10 deponent. De-
ponent was prepared 10 establish his en-
tire innocence when examined be-
fore Public Police Justice Gqttman,
hut he was denied that right and
an indictment was found as deponent be-
Heves TO embarrass him in his defence and
to disgrace him in the public eye with
view to affect results; that by reason OF
this secret action so covertly done oy the
district attorney, the deponent has been
deprived Of his challenge TO the grand
Jurors who found such indictment and YER
ilv believes that he had some grounds OF
challenge against a majority Of the grand
jurorst that it is unjust 10 permit an in
dictment 10 stand against him when so
found by incompetent and improper grand
Jurors: that deponent believes II said
grand Jury were not moved by prejudice
and melted, infamed and biased, no
indictment would have been found against
deponent."
Mr.. Meegan then began his argument to
show that the position taken by Mr.. Peck
and Mr.. Rodgers in their affidavit was
upheld by the law.
Mr.. Eaton said the proceedings IN court
on this case had been regular. There
could be no question that the grand jury
as an Independent body could inquire into
every matter brought 10 its notice.
Judge Clute said that the points raised
BY the defense would necessitate him ex-
amining the authorities bearing on the
question. and he therefore named Monday
morning the time for the defendants 70
plead TO the indictments in case they were
not Quashed.

CLEVELAND AND THE SOLDIERS.

The Ex-PresIdsnt Is Their Friend and
Much rs scrstchsd-RepublicAn Misrep-
resentstiOn.
New YORK, September 2s.-A dis
patch from Buzzards' Bay to morning
paper says:
The first man to greet Grover Cleve-
land this morning with printed copy
Of his letter OF acceptance was Capt. d.
I. Allen Of Frankfort, Ind, member OF
the Indiana Democratic state commit
tee. Captain Allen is taking a round
about way homeward from the Wash
ington encampment. He had some
thing which he considered vitallV i'm
portant to say to the sage Of Gray
Gables, and Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan evil
IDENTIFY thought so, too, yesterday in
New York. for he told the
Indiana committeeman to come
right on to Gray Gables and tell it TO
Mr. Cleveland in person. Captain Allen
walked over to the Gables, and was
warmly greeted by Mr.. Cleveland. He
enjoyed a long talk with the ex-Presi-
dent and expressed his satisfaction with
his letter Of acceptance, barring one
small point. He did not like the word
actually" In the paragraph relating to
pensioning soldiers. He went further
and requested Mr.. Cleveland to explain
more fully his position toward the SOL
diers, to aid in bringing out the soldier
vote for the Democratic ticket all over
the land. Mr.. Cleveland told him that
he believed in pensioning every soldier
who received so much as scratch In
the war, and went over the ground in
detail with the Indiana committeeman.
Captain Allen came away highly
elated with his call, gratitied with his
reception and confident that his pre-
sentation OF the soldiers case would re-
suit in great advantage to the party in
general, and to Mr.. Cleveland in par
ticular. He says that he found in the
course of his discussion with Mr.. Cleve-
land that the latter is the friend Of the
soldier, honestly and actually, but he
thinks that the nominee is not fully
aware OF the manner in which the Op-
position critics and exacting veterans
will seek to disturb and find innuendoes
in his treatment Of the pension ques-
tion in his letter OF acceptance.

SHELBYvLLE, IND, September 2S.-
Once every four years Shelbyville has

the Democracy Of Central and Eastern
Indiana. To-day was barbecue day.
For q week preparations have been
making for the event. During the az

watch the preparations for the barbe-
cue.
At 1880 o'clock the parade started
for the Fair grounds, and as its head
reached the station the Cincinnati Ex-
press arrived bearing Gen. Adlai +.
Stevenson. The clubs in the parade
lined on either side OF the street, and
Mr.. Stevenson was driven between the
lines TO the Ray House. The reception
was probably the most enthusiastic Mr.
Stevenson has received in Indiana. At
the hotel Mr.. Stevenson was met by the
other speakers, amUng them Congress
man Warner, OF New York; Lawrence
Neil, Of Ohio; Senator Turple, Con-
Qressmen Cooper and Bynum. Speech
