CHICAGO, March Sit is declared az q

either next Saturday or Monday. The in
formation comes from what seems to be the
most reliable sources that the management
has received all the support necessary to
enable it to resume business. and that 1t
has decided to do so without delay. 1t is
said that men have been found who are
willing to assume the liabilities of the con-
Germ because of the favorable prospects in
view. No matter what the outcome of
the Illinois racing legislation. Robey 10
assured of lengthy existence. as the In
diana Legislature adjourned withouv
adopting any measure that would prove
disastrous to racing. No matter how the
Illinois Legislature may act. Robey will
have the advantage of the other local tracks
in thatit can run every day. ShOnld forty.

LONG ISLAND SHAKEN.
Midnight Seismic Disturbance That Frightened
People and Broke CrOckery.

NEW YORK, March 8-Many persons living
In that part of the city between Twenty
third and Fifty ninth streets perceived
shock like that of an earthquake at about
1910 o'clock this morning. Buildings were
perceptibly shaken and the conviction that
seismic convulsion of some kind had
taken place was general among those living
in the district. All Long island seems to
have felt the shock ten minutes earlier.
At Long Island City the quake was especl-
ally severe, in many instances shaking
pictures from the walls and creating havoc
among chinaware and bric-a-brac. At sew
eral points persons fled in terror from their
houses TO the street in their night robes,
supposing that the houses were settling OF
falling. Most of these persons say that a
dull boom and q strongly marked simul-
taneous trembling of the earth were per-
ceptible. The seismic disturbances lasted
several seconds and then passed away in a
southsrly direction.

partition proceedings to have her interests
set aside. 1t was decided the land could

her her interest was to sell the land. Then
arose the question whether the possible

ton decided that the sale would give the
purchaser perfect title and the unborn
heirs would be bound by 1t. But he also

Turple hadsreached an understanding as
to the distribution of Offices in the two Re-
publican districts of Indiana. and that

the Sixth and Senator Turpie those in the
Ninth district. An aspirant for office in

understand. upon the joint recOmmenda-
tion of the two Senator'S. We have rot

Senator Voorhees's committee room was
visited TO-DAY by aOont one hundred In
diana Office seekers. The Senator is being
run almost to death. but he is patient and
gOod-tempered aboutit He says he reoog-
nizes the fact that the men who are seeking

Successful Deer. .Slayers.

The best deer-shooting of the sea-
son falls to the lot of two coastside
men. One is Portuguese laborer on
a farm just above the Alpine school
house. The morning the deer law
opened he came upon four bucks, and
when the smoke of four shots from his
Winchester cleared away he was the
captor of three of them. The other
fortunate person is the son OF Post
master Thompson, of Harrison, near
Pescadero. This young gentleman
aimed at large buck one day, and
after seeing him drop went to get his
game. He was surprised to find that
his bullet after passing through the
back of the buck he aimed at entered
the head of another short distance
beyond, thus killing two at one shot.
These are facts that can be substanti-
ated. San Mateo (Cal.) Leader.
