HORSES Go CHEAP.
Low Prices at the Burke
Stock Sale.
Eros and Wanda Were Bid In by
Their Owners for Almost
Nothing.

Frank M. Burke, proprietor of La Siesta
stock farm. offered his horses yesterday by
auction. The prices were rediculously
low, some of the most fashionably bred
animals in California going for mere
song. For some no bids were offered.
OF course Eros was the principal horse
offered. That he is splendid producing
one is esta bIished. A year or two ago
horsemen considered him one OF the best
of Eectioneer's sons Since then his repu-
tation has not decreased. Only last week
Wanda, one OF his daughters, trotled a
mile In San Jose in 2:14A.
Beside that ne is the sire of Rinconado
2:17, Gro Fino 2:18 aud six others In the
list. But there are not many people in
California who want to buy stations now
a days no matter how famous they are or
what successes they have been in the stud
When Stamboul was sold year ago he
was the champion stallion of she world.
He was expected to bring at the very low
est, 100000. He was sold for less tnan
half that amount. Even then the impress
sion was becoming general that tr0ttlng
horses were depreciating in value. Since
then the drop has been big one.
Take for instance the stallion Eros.
Several years ago Mr.. Burke was offered
S35. 900 for him, yesterday the first bid on
him was $500. Auctioneer Eiseman spent
half an hour running the price up to S1450.
at which he was bid in by William Vioget,
Aho with Mr.. Burke owns him.
Then there was Wanda. II. d. Brown,
the well-knowr starter of running horses,
bid $3.50 for her, and Mr.. Burke would not
let her go.
That this price was simply farcical is in
dicated by the fact that she is stinted to
Guy Wilkes at an expense Of $1,000. Be-
sides Wanda can trot bit herself as she
howed last week down in San Jose.
Mountain Boy, handsome stallion by
Kentucky Prince. but who has never done
anything in the stud worthy of notice. was
also offered. As road horse he should
have brought several hundred dollars, but
Mr.. Loveaga got him for $50.
The colts and fillies ranged in price from
$40 to $500 or $500, and the animals had to
be great individuals, and the auctioneer
had to do terrible lot of talking to get
the latter prices. The brood mares aver
aged very badly. Maggie E. by Nutwood.
with a record of 2:18& brought the best
price of the lot-S630. Mr.. Moore bought
her for that sum. Olta, another Nutwood
mare, in foai to Stsinway, could not be
sold at ALL although she had already
produced Cesar with a pacing record of
2:16h One of her colts, Steinwood by
Steinway, went for $110. Ripple, full
sister to Creole, in fOal to Diablo, the
great side-wheeler, only fetched $3.50, and
so the prices went.
The principal purchaser was Frank
Ojeda, who intends exporting the horses
to Central America, in order to establish
breeding farm there. He obtained some
splendid stock at remarkably low prices.

Congressman w. l.. Wilson Says There Is
Little Hons of Early Action.


Little Hope of Early Action.
LAKEWOOD, n j., Feb. 6 Congress
man w. L. Wilson of West Virginia
who came from Washington on Satur-
day to confer with Mr.. Cleveland pre-
sumably on the prospect of the repeal
of the sherman oliver purchase act at
this session of Congress- spent last
evening with Mr. Cleveland and Don
NJ. Dickinson at the Cleveland Cottage
and had another long talk with the
President-elect yesterday.o
Mr.. Wilson, when asked what was
the prospects of a silver bill passing
both Houses of Congress before the end
of the present session. said: The
chance of a bill passing the House de-
ponds largely upon the Committee on
Rules. They are to report resolution
on Thursday. If the resolution merely
brings up the silver bill for discussion
nothing will be accomplished, as but
twenty-four working days remain and
appropriation bills will take con-
siderable of the time. If the
committee reports rule requiring a
time and the House decides to vote on
the measure | am satisfied that the
bill will pass the House In the SEN
ate however, there is sufficient min
GRITTY against the repeal of the Sher-
man law to absolutely prevent the
passage of a bill at this session.
You do not consider the outlook
very encouraging for a bill reaching
the President before March d, them"
''No. The time is too short in my
opinion for the repeal of the silver law
at the present session"
"Do you believe the law would be
repealed if it were brought to vote
in both houses?'
Yes; if straight vote could be OBJ
tanned the law would be repealed at
once, but with the determined minor
ity there is little hope of straight
vote, and therefore little hope of a
change in the silver legislation at pres

EESIEGED BY a NEGRO MOB
Unsuccessful Attempt to Lynch &

the negro picked up stone, with
which he felled the doctor to the earth.
AS he fell DR.. Cochran pulled his pistol
and put three bullets into Edwards,
killing him instantly. William Watts,
sta ton agent of the Southern Pacific,
disarmed Cochran and then number
of negroes assaulted him.
They accused him of having
assaulted Watts and demanded his life.

was the guilty party but the mob was
bent on lynching Watts. Watts man.
aged to reach the inside of the
depot, which he barricaded and
with the arms he had there
and the assistance of the tele-
crap operator managed to hold
the crowd at bay. Meantime
he telephoned to Richmond, Houston
and other towns for assistance. While
this was going on the negroes were
also securing achievements, and fiery
leaders proposed burning the depot
and town. Just as they were about to
put their designs into execution an
engine pulled into the town with the
sheriff and posse of armed men. 1t
was with difficulty that he could pacify
the crowd.
DIR. Cochran surrendered. but the
mob clamored for Watts, the station
agent. In the hubbub the sheriff, to
appease them, arrested Watts and
quickly getting the two men on the
train the posse pulled out for Rich
mond, where the two men will be held
pending examination. All is quiet now,
and while the whites are on their
guard it is thought there will be no
further trouble.

CALL UNCHRISTIAN.
Ministers Up in Arms Arms Against the
Prayerless air Program

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The program for
the World Fair opening exercises, as
prepared by the Executive Committee
! of tue local directory. does not meet
win the approval of the ministers OF
Chicago. Tue committee has strick en-
OFT the fnvoca ton, which was feature
of the opening exercises.
The ministers say that a short prayer
would occupy little time and that the
fair is a national institution and not j
private enterprise. The dedicatory
ceremonies OF last October are pointed
to as a precedent. The claims made
by the directors that they could not
secure celebrant VINO would be &C
cepta bic TO all the religious bodies are
not considered good.
The strong point used by all the
clergymen is that the far is an insti-
tuition representing this country, and
as America is Christian nation recog-
milton of this fact should be made at
the opening Of the great Exposition.
There is little doubt, it is claimed,
that an agreement could be reached as
to who should deliver the prayer.
There Is nothing in the excuse that
the ministers could not agree" said
Prot David Swing to your reporter
this morning. Il mink that's merely
a. inven ion of some freeLhinker who
wishes to have fun at the Expense OF
religion. l am sure that some one
could be selected who would be ac-
cepta BILE to all religions. | think that,
while not absolutely necessary, it
would be very desira Die to open the
Exposition with u religious exercise.
The Fair is not private enterprise
but d great pational institution and d
religious observance would certainly
not be out Of place. "
Il think there is no question of the
propriety of opening the Fair with
prayer said the Rev. DR.. jackson,
presiding editor of the Methodist min
listers conference. '1n my opinion it
would make no difference who de-
liyered the prayer. The chief point is
that this is Christian nation and at
the commencement OF one of the great
est works that fact should be recog-
niZed. There is no doubt that d
clergyman could be selected to whom
no sect would object. l cannot under
stand why the directors of the Fair
have omitted religious exercises from
the programme. At the opening of a
political convention a prayer may not
be in the bes. taste, but this is very
a -
The Rev. j. w. Conley said: This
is recognized as ID Christian nation and
it seems to me that 1t would be incon-
sistent to omit religious observance at
the time when this great work is final
~ completed and thrown open to the
pub bile. The Fair authorities created
a precedent for themselves last Octo-
Der and in face of that | cannot see
why they have omitted prayer from
the program. 1t would not take up
much time, nor do think there would
be much difficulty in selecting d man
who would be suita BILE to all classes of
the community. Perhaps the directors
say that the ministers cannot agree
and have cut them out OF the program
because they have opposed Sunday
opening of the Fair ... e.. ...:r
