CROWN POINT, Ind, Aug lat last the
Garfield Park Racing Association, of Chi
cago. has thought of a plan by which they
can get rid of the many suit brought
against 1t by the authorities of the
city of Chicago. One hundred and twenty
acres of land in the northwe stern part of
this county has been purchased by a sy ndi-
cate of Chicago sporting men for the pur-
pose of establishing race-track and
grounds To take the place of those at Gar
field Park. This tract OF land lies in Sec
ton 50. township IS. range TO- and is just
across the Indiana line from the city of Chi
caeo. The price paid is said to be
$500 per acre, or $4,000 for the
entire tract. 1t lies four and one-half miles
north OF the city of Hammond. and Is ff-
teen miles from the Chicago City Hall, and
but lew miles from the worlds lair
grounds. 1t can be reached by the Fort
Wayne. the l.. ;. IL NJ. :. and the b. Il y.
railroads. The promoters are said to he j.

TALKS WITH THE ATTORNEYS.

Criminal Proceedings Postponed-Case Will
BE Heard on Monday.
Yesterday afternoon Journal reporter
called on Mr.. X. o. Hawkins, of the firm of
Hawkins & Smith, attorneys for the
plaintiffs in the receivership case. to inquire
If criminal proceedings had been begun
against Supreme Justice Somerby.
I'VE decided not to bring o suit of that
character" said he. After tho receipt of
the telegram from Mr.. Somerby announc.
Ing his intention to come on to Indian
Rpolis. we decided to POSTPONE action and
await his arrival" He further intimated
that IS soon as the matter of the receiver
ship is disposed of the criminal part would
receive some attention. 1T was our in
tention.n continued Mr.. Hawkins, ito take
steps to locate Somerby had we Eot heard
from him this morning but now we will
await his arrival since he has telegraphed
that he will be here. We do not care to
prosecute him. 1t is probable that he will
be here In time to attend the regular meet
ing of the executive committee tomorrow"
1t is not likely now that the receivership
case will be decided for several days yet.
1t was set for a hearing in Judge Taylor's
court for Thursday. but he % out of the
city. and it will be continued until next
Monday. The indications are that tho
petition for receiver will be bitterly con-
tested by Supreme Justice Somerby, as In
addition to the law firm of Morris, New
berger IL Curtis, Duncan & Smith and
Judge Howe have been retained, they hav-
ing received word by telegraph yesterday
morning from an officer of the order in
Philadelphia to take hold of the case.
Yesterday afternoon the gentlemen above
named who will assist in the defense held
conference to talk over matters and
arrange plan of action. They state that
the charges arc O small matter brought
against Somerby and not against the order
OF the Iron Hall. and that they would prO-
coed with the defense whether he came to
this city or not They claim that q re-
ceiver Will not be appointed because there
are no grounds upon which to ask for one.
ATTORNEY Newberger expressed surprise
Rt the continued absence of Mr.. Somerby
and stated that the cause of the order W as
being injured by so much silence and mys-
terry. About the Offices of the Order of the
Iron Hall there was q considerable
air of gloom yesterday. although
business was going on about
rs usual The officers claimed to know abs0-
lutely notbin a bout Somer by 8 movements,
and the fact that he should telegraph his
Intentions TO a newspaper instead of TO
either the officers or the attorneys was the
cause of many expressions of surprise. The
opinion is fast crystallizlDg that there is
and has been considerable jealousy exist
ing between the supreme Justice and some
of the other officers located here and that
the relations between them have not been
of an extraordinarily harmonious kind.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 1.-The State
election passed off quietly. and the heaviest
vote for years was p0lled. A large part of
the negro population voted, and their vote
was about equally divided between Gov.
Jones and Kolb the Alliance man. Gov.
Jones and the regular Democratic ticket
are elected by not less than 90. 600 majority.
His majority, many believe. may reach TO-
600. In Birmingham, Jones's major
ity exceeds 5000. In Mobile 1T
is 1,OOO in Montgomery 1000, in
Selma 1880 and in Admission 1000. These
are the largest cities In the State. bnt
there are many country precincts and the
black belt section. A novel feature was
that in most places the colored voters
turned out and not only voted but worked
like beavers for Jones and the stra gh
Democratic ticket and aided materially In
piling up large msj0rities for the Demo-
crat party.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-President Har-

his letter accepting the nomination by the
Republican national convention. He Will
not begin to make even the first rough
draft of the letter until after Congress has
adjourned and he has gone to join Mrs.
Harrison at Loon lake, In the Adirondacks.
The President has talked confidentially
with a number of prominent Republicans
during the past month and from these con-
versations and from careful reading Of the
Minneapolis platform his ideas have taken
quite definite form in his own mind and
it will not be difficult TO. him TO give them
expression when once he finds opportunity
to write the letter. The ususal pressure
of business. which always attends the
closing weeks of session of Congress- has
made 1t impossible for the President to
write the letter here. He hopes to give the
document to the public sometime between
the 18th and Goth of August.
