OF INTEREST TO HORSEMEN.
A Race Track Decision by Judge Collins
of Chicago,

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-According to a decis-
ion rendered by Judge Collins yesterday
the Garfield Park club has no chance for
existence. The opinion was given in the
bill brought by the Garfield Park club to
restrain the mayor and chief of police from
in any manner interfering with its racing
1t was contended that the club was legally
organized to conduct racing and therefore
had the right to bookmaking and pool
selling, without which it could not succeed
in business. Charges were made that the
mayor and chief of police had conspired to
destroy the Garfield Park club and thus
advance the interests of the Hawthorne
race track.
The Decision Covers Everything.
In substance the court held that betting
on a horse race was gambling; that pool
selling in an enclosure was punishable
under section 1877 of the criminal code on
gaming; that complainant had no redress
in a court of equity; that an enterprise
such as involved in this case against
all the decisions of courts and the
Iettled policy of all civilized nations; and
that if the law of 1887 permits pool selling
and bookmaking to the complainant it
regulates the same and is unconstitutional,
being in violation of three sections OF the
constitution.
VIII Appeal the Case.
This decision was great surprise to che
attorneys of the club, and they prayed an
appeal. 1t is said that the decision viii
affect the other race tracks in the state,
such as the Hawthorne track, the Eastyt.
Louis track and the track at Madison, Ills,
The Washington Climb guaranteed stakes
of S291 900 for fixed events next season
which must be paid. even if there is no
racing. This is all the consolatioI4 the
Garfield club derived from the decision.

A Little Breeze Caused by a Political Mat

ter-New Offices.
DENVER, Colo, Nov. 2.-The proceedings
of the w. c. T. U. convention were en-
livened by little row which originated
over the report on ''The Temple by Mrs.
Matilda B. Carse, president of the Temple
association. And it all came about be-
cause rooms in the temple at Chicago had
been rented to the Republicans for head
quarters. The southern delegates were of
the opinion that the Temple could be put
to better use than to be turned into a re-
cruiting place for political party, and
especially the Republican party, and they
| made some very cutting remarks.
Some Republican Women on Hand.
There were a few women in the conven-
ton, however, who were Republicans and
they resented the imputation cast on the
party. Peace finally reigned and the re-
port was proceeded with. 1t was shown by
the books of the Temple company that the
rents for six months aggregated $3.50, 600
and would probably exceed that amount
hereafter. There was no doubt, Mrs Carse
said, that the company would be able to Sc
cure and hold the building. They expected
before long to come into possession of the
stock held by Marshall Field, amounting
to $250OOO.
Election of Omcers.
During the morning session Lady Henry
Somerset took the chair, and after brief de-
votiOnal exercises the seats were cleared of
all but voters and the convention proceeded
to the election of officers The vote for
president resulted in 1893 votes for Frances
E. Willard, who was taken to the platform
amid the greatest enthusiasm and the wav-
ing of handkerchiefs. Mrs. Buell. was
elected corresponding secretary, Miss Pugh
treasurer, and Mrs. Woodbridge, recording
secretary.

GROUND GLASS IN SANDWICHES
The Method Adopted by q Woman to Kill
Her Husband.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Nov. 2. - William
Root who works in the shuttle room at the
Singer Sewing Machine works here, was
attacked with violent fit of coughing
after eating sandwich in the shop, which
he took from his lunch basket. For several
minutes it was feared the man would
choke, as he could scarcely get his breath.
An emetic was given, which caused him to
vomit freely, and he soon was out of dam
ger. On examining the sandwiches remain
ing in the basket they were found to be
plentifully sprinkled with crushed glass
Root said they were prepared by his wife,
and he declared at once that she meant to
kill him.
He Waltzes and She Doesn't.
The couple live at 116 Price street and
have three children. For some years they
have led an unhappy life. Only few
nights ago Root beat the woman unmerci-
fully with a club, and in revenge for this
she declared she would put an end to him.
He left the shop DECLARING that he would
have her arrested. Root is q fine
waltzer, but his wife cannot
dance, and this is what first caused the
the trouble, it is said, between them. He
took her to a picnic just after they were
marlied and left her side to dance with an
other woman. When the dance was over

EXCITING RUNAWAY INCIDENT.
A so" Locomotive Takes a Trip All BY


ALTON, Ill, Nov "A singular occur
ance, which might have resulted in n fear
full wreck, took place on the Big Four be-
tween Alton and ST. Louis. A Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy engine was COM
ing off that road at Wann to the main line
of the Big Four when an engine of the lat
ter road ran out on the track in front
of it. The 20" engineer, believing that
collision was inevitable, jumped and
abandoned his engine to its fate. The Big
Four ran on to a siding and let the 20" en-
CINE pass it. Then the latter ran away
with no one on it at a lively rate. This
made it necessary to clear the track all the
way to East St. Louis and every train was
at once sidetracked. The runaway "died"
at Nameoki, however, and was captured
and returned by train No. Z, which arrived
here over an hour late.
