and PAGES in Alternate Years.
A New York special says: Lovers Of the
light-harness horse will watch with much
interest during the coming season the
operations of James j.. Green of Whining
ton, Del. and Ills horse S3aadin. The horse
is n peculiar animal, in that he is what is
called II mixed. gated horse. lie is known
to be a very fast one, his owner claiming
that he has shown in his work at the
pacing gait speed that, if he could carry it
for mile, would give him u record of
Los. The horse now has record of 2.ll4,
and that was made in u heat race in which
he paced the two first quarters steadily i'll
81 and .3la respectively, breaking SO badly
in the next quarter that he had to be pulled
almost To a standstill.
Saladin is one of a lot bred by l.. j. Rose
of California. and was sold at auction in
this city for $3.50 in 1887. The spring fol
lowing his purchase the colt was put into
training and as 2.year-old he trotted
mile over the Belmont Park track in phila-
delphia in 30. The following year he he
gan to show evidences of II desire to pace,
and his trainar was not able to do any
thing with him, as he did not want to ell
courage the pacing habit But the next
season he was shod and allowed to go ut
the pacing gait and went a mile in 2.2Dt,
which was his 5-year-old record. During
the past season he lowered that record ~
seconds, to the mark he now has.
Now the horse is making his owner
more trouble, for after having been
allowed to indulge himself as PAGER he
has suddenly been taken with desire to
abandon that gait for the trot, and toward
the end of the season it was almost impos-
sible to make him move steadily at the
lateral gait. He showed pretty conclu
sively. too, that he could trot about as fast
as he could pace, and Mr.. Green is in @
quandary as to what to do with the ami
NAL.
Whether he is born trotter or born
PAGER no one can tell, and what sort of u
notion he may take into his head for next
year is a matter that is bothGring all who
have to do with the animal. Mr.. Green is
inclined to the belief that he will be able
to make him pace again, and he will have
him shod and trained with that end in
view in the spring, rs he believes that If
he will take kindly to the work he will be
able to make a new pacing record.
If Saladin should make q new pacing
| record, or a very low one, Mr.. Green will
then have him handled in 1894 for trot-
| ting record and he feels sure that he will
get very fast record at this style of going.
| Horsemen will watch the development of
this erratic bit Of horse flesh with much
interest One Of the members of the ma.
tional board, who was at the Murray Hill
| Hotel during the past week, when speak
| ing of the horse, said:
II suppose that when Green gives Sal
| adm a record as both II PAGER and trotter,
| he will get to work at him to try and
lower the record of Salvador as galloper.
| Saladin is a mystery, and wouldn't be a
bit surprised II he could run fast enough
now to beat all the racers at Guttenburg
and Gloucester

clever imposter was neatly captured
by the police yesterday and is now
occupying a cell at the police station. The
man gavo his name as A, Il. L. Kurtz.
Chief Of Police Francis has been on the
lookout for kurtz for several days. His
efforts were rewarded this morning when
the culprit was arrested Just as he was
leaving the store of Adams Il Brother on
Market street. Detective Hatton took the
prisoner to the city hall.
The authorities believe Kurtz to be the
man who forged the name of Mrs. D. r.
BARNARD to note addressed to Grocer II.
II. Huntington, asking him to cash check
for $l2 Tuesday the chief of police
i. Kurtz had been visiting num-
Der Of stores on Market street, pre-
tending that he desired to buy some
Christmas goods, rendering in payment
for them sight drafts payable to himself
and bearing the name of IS. Il. Truit Wall
Paper Company Chicago, Ill., Chief
Francis detailed several officers to look out
for the stranger, and last evening Detec-
tive Hawkins found that a number of
stores had been visited by him. The re-
suit was he was rcmanded to jail as soon
us he left the store of Adams Il Brother
this morning.
The culprit was searched at the police
station and number of drafts taken from
his person. There were also found en-
velopes bearing the name of edwin Dur
flow, Wilmington, Del. and other papers
going to show that kurtz carried OH bust
ness for Messrs. Dobler, Nudge & Com
pany, baltimore, Md. The latter are said
to be wall paper dealers in Baltimore.
kurtz has been representing several
paper firms III Philadelphia, where it is
SAID a warrant has been issued for his ar
rest for embe2zement. Kurtz went to the
store of ]. c. johnson e. son, No. 225 Mar
ket street and had check cashed for SIS.
The check was afterwards protested and
Mr.. Johnson was compelled to pay the
sum named. When seen this morning
Mr.. johnson said he had known Kurtz for
ten years and that he had frequently
bought paper from him. He had written
to the firm in Philadelphia which Kurtz
formerly represented, Mr.. johnson said,
and that firm had informed him that
Kurtz had collected money for them which
he had failed to turn over.
kurtZ also went to the store of William
Lawton and stated that he wanted to buy
some Christmas goods. He wanted to sell
some writing paper but the head clerk in
Mr.. LawtOn's store understood his game
and declined to deal with the stranger.
Kurt was also in the store of w. b.
sharp ~ Company Tuesday afternoon,
but failed to deal with w. Harold smith, q
member of the firm. The latter designed
his purpose and courteously dismissed
him. Kurt2 will probably have hearing
before Judge Ball this morning.

LoNpoY. Dec Ii,-A fearful explosion
occurred to-day at the BAN furlong col
liery Wigcn, and not less than 80 lives
have been lost.
The men went to the creek as usual this
morning, after the e0.liery had been in
spected in the usual way. They had not
been at work long when a terrible eNplo-
sion shook the earth for great distance,
and cloud Of smoke shot up through the
nine.
The greatest excitement prevailed. It
was seen that Il large number must have
persisted and the wailing and weeping of
women and children made an indescriba-
BILE scene.
Steps were Immediately taken to ascer-
tain the fullest extent Of the disaster, aud
Il crowd of volunteers promptly offered to
explore the pit.
It is believed that the explosion was
caused by accumulated coal gas, which had
escaped the notice of the official charged
with the inspection of the mine.
THE SITUATION MOST CRITICAL.
LONDON, Dec, l4.--2 p. m.--Later advices
from Wigen state that the loss of life by
the explosion at the BAN Furlong colliery
may be less serious than at first reported.
The situation is however most critical.
A hundred men remain in the mine with
their lives endangered, being unable to get
out owing to the fire which followed the
explosion, and which is raging tiercely in
the mines, making it difficult for them to
get ut the imprisoned men.
Notwithstanding the fire and other OBJ
stacles the work Of rescue is proceeding
and volunteers are not deferred by danger
or difficulty in their efforts to save their
fellow miners from terrible death.
Until the fire has spent, the loss of life
will be difficult to estimate.
TWENTY MEN TAKEN OUT.
LONDON, Dec. l4-3 p. m.-Twenty
miners have just been brought up by the
rescuers from the BAN FurIong mine.
The other men who are still below are i'm
prlsoned in Il seam that is under where the
lire is raging. Strong hopes are enter
tanned that many Of them will be taken
out alive.

 cert by . Chorus of one Thousand
 vofces-Every Seat FiIscd-spccch by
 Hon. Chauncey M. Depew.
 MINNEAPOLIS, June 6.-The republican convention hall of '92 was opened to the general public tonight with a grand con- cert by chorus of 1000 voices supported by the Second regiment band of Chicago. The audience numbered over l2 900, and filled every seat. Hon. Chauncey M. De- pew, who received an ovation. made A speech. After come eloquent preliminary remarks he said:
 ''In this hall will gather tomorrow the representatives of one-hslf or more of our people to nominate the man who shall conduct the government and formulate the principles which will control its policy. The stake is boundless empire and msjes- ty. It is a prize which has been in all ages | the fruitful source of rebellions and of civil wars, but under our institu- tions the issue is settled not by | bullets, but by ballots If the result of the final contest shall be defeat for the | man and the measures here put before the | | the government and maintain its laws If | it shall be victory the defeated party will with equal good temper acquiesce, and the result will rebound to the glory of the re- public and to the happiness of the peo- ple."
 party never refers to a democratic states man since General Jackson, with one ex- ception, ex-President Cleveland. It is Cleveland or Hill and nothing beyond. But the republicans are embarrassed with riches" The speaker mentioned Sherman, Allison, Edmunds, Alger, Rusk, Cullom
 and Lincoln as worthy of presi- dential honors and remarked: "rhere
 are two names which at present
 belong to the state and to the coun-
 try. One that singulsrly gifted statesman
 who has contributed SO much to the i'm.

 and the glory of American diplomacy
 James G. Blaine; the other, that level
 headed, wise and eloquent soldier. senator
 and president, who has maintained tho
 best traditions of the presidential office Benjamin Harrison"
 Mr. Depew, in conclusion, said that thu
 deliberations of to-morrow's convention
 will be watched with interest by friend
 and foe. He hoped that partisanshiI , without passion, individual judgmen made differential to the views of others. The mention of Mir. Harrison's name ex { cited demonstration which If anythinl } passed that aroused by the name of MT

CALIFORNIA DELEGATES DIVIDED.
 A lively meeting of the California dele gation was held to-day at which the ques- ton of presidential preference was formal ly discussed for the first time by the dele gates of that state. The Blaine men, though in a large majority, refrained from taking a vote. Senator Felton made a strong anti Blaine speech. He said, how ever, that he did not care to influence any member. He had been asked sometime sgo by Secretary Elkins to give his vote to the president and had promised to do SO. Delegate Knight said they should come to some agreement to cast the vote of the state solidly for some candidate, and he believed he voiced the sentiments of nine tenths of the republicans when he advised voting for Blaine.
 Judge Spencer asserted that the resolu- | tions passed at the state convention were | tantamount to instructions for Harrison, and the delegation would have been as solid as any Californian could desire fl Blaine's name had not been thrust before the convention.
 M. Fl. De Young expressed surprise q
 Judge Spencsr's remarks, and declarsi
