1t was the first time the great race
mares Hulda and AliX had ever come
together. and the crowd of 1900 people
looked for great battle between them,
and it was not disappointed. As the
unfinished race stands tonight, Its four
heats show the fastest average of any
four heats ever made in race, and tie
worlds trotting race record was cut to
2:01$l III the first heat. The scoring for
all the heats was protracted and hard on
the horses. They went away for the
first heat on the thirteenth attempt, and
AIiX who, had drawn the outside posi-
ton, Immediately shot to the front. and
followed closely by Lord Clinton, Hulda
and PlXley, went to the first quarter i'll
32l9 seconds. Hulda matte strong bid
for the lead in the back Stretch,
but the little bay mare was
going at TOO hot pace, and
Hu!da fell back. On the lower turn she
came again and pressed AliX hard, but
the daughter of Patronage was going at
a rate that quickly carried Hulda to
break, and she fell back for good. Pix
ley made mad rush for the heat in the
last eighth, and came In at pace that
was too fast even for AliX, but the dis
lance To the wire was too short, and
AliX won by head. The crowd simply
went frantic when the time was hung
out, and it continued to yell for ton
minutes after the heat was over. The
fractional time for the heat was: Quar-
ter, p > half. 1:03ls three-quarters,

ted the mile from wire to wire III 2:07 or
better, for she was over two lengths

of work has been done on the claim in

point where very rich groupings were

personal financial disaster, Gov. VIM.
Mckinley, Of Ohio, bobs up serenely,
and has been chosen by the Ohio re
publicsns to lead them and bear their
standard in the approaching state cleo

nomination for governor, the great pro-

faith in republican principles, and ex-
pressed his belief that they would soon
triumph in state and nation. The pace
set by the republicans of Ohio should
be initiated by their political brethren

The United States court granted an
injunction, last week. restraining the
management Of the Columbian Exposi-
tion from opening the grounds OF Sun
day One Of the judges favored Sunday
opening, but the other two opposed it,
it being their decision that Jackson
Park had been temporarily ceded to tn e
United States, and that congress had the
authority to close the grounds on the
Sabbath. Before the next Sunday came,
however, Chief Justice Fuller granted a
suspension Of the injunction and $4,000
persons visited the fair on the llth. If
the store of technicalities hold out and
|. gal processes are not exhausted, the
controversy will be still ia progress
when the exposition closes next Octo-
Der, and the directors will be the real
victors, no matter what the final decis-
ion is. Every thoughtful person who
looks at the Sunday opening question
without prejudice must admit that there
are two sides to it. 1t is only reasonable
to believe, that with the buildings
closed and the machinery inactive.
there would be no violation of the laws
of God or man in quietly strolling
through the beautiful grounds or in sail
ing on the placid waters of the lagoons.
And yet it must be admitted that thou
sands of those who would enter the
gates of the White City on the first day
Of the week would make the occasion
one of carousal and excessive levity.
The question is, can the United States
government, without forgetting its es-
sential greatness and dignity. put the
stamp of its approval upon the desecra-
ton Of a day which was sacred to the
nations founders, ard which has been
reyered by the best elements Of all
generations of its citizens. The discus
sion of the question, pro and con, con-
tinues; the difference of opinion is
great, and thousands of intelligent men
and women are aIrayed on either side.
but if congress, the courts and the
president say "closs the gates" then
they will be closed without further
adieu, or Chicago will prove herself un-
worthy of the great honor conferred
upon her when she was given the fair.

The great majority Of the citizens OF
the United States who have read the
accounts of the terrible catastrophe
which occurred in the national capital,
on Friday, the 9th inst, are appalled, at
the very thought that such an accident
was even possible. That government
like ours. with its treasury vaults burst
ing with wealth, with millions for i'm
provements that are not actually neces-
sary, and thousands to spend with
lavish hand in the Inauguration Of
president, would allow Its faithful EN-.
ployes to labor day after day, and year
after year, in a building believed TO be
unsafe, and at last to be crushed to
death like rats in a trap, seems as i'm
possible as the thought of 1t is shocking.
And yet such was the case Time and
time again had the old Ford theatre
been condemned and congress called
upon to provide other quarters in which
the business of the pension branch of the
War Department might be carried on.
Less than a month ago the clerks them
selves draughted and circulated petit
ton asking that change to safer
quarters be made. But the warnings
were unheeded, the appeal fell on deaf
ears, and as a result of this negligence
and criminal carelessness, twenty-five
lives were sacrificed, as many homes
bereaved, wives widowed and children
orphaned. One result of the disaster
will be 10 make repetitions Of it under
similar circumstances, impossible, at
least until this one has been forgotten.
The officials who are empowered to say
yea or nay to demands on the public
treasury have been taught a lesson in
true economy which will not soon be
lost sight Of With hardly an exception,
the men who lost their lives in the
collapsing building, left families, the
members of which were entiaely de
pendent upon the earnings of
the husband and father for sup
port. The least the government can
do in way of reparation is to provide for
the future needs of these widows and
orphans. 1t owes fully as much to the
victims of its carelessness and neglect,
as it does to those who defended it in
time Of war.

A Probable Murder.

Otto Langweiler and T. w.
Sprecht, two farmers residing some
distance west of the city, came to
San Antonio Saturday, and began
to drink freely, preparatory to
taking in the Volksfest celebra-
ton. They soon began to feel the
effects of the liquor and engaged
in a quarrel, at Maxfeldt's grocery
store. Langweiler picked up a
fork from a table and plunged it
into the breast of Sprecht, infiict-
ing horrible wound, which in all
probability, will prove fatal. Dr..
Berry was called in and admins
tered all the aid possible, but said
that little hopes Of the mans re-
cOvery could be entertained.
Shortly after the atfray Lang
weller was placed under arrest.
His charge will likely be murder
as the injured man is hourly ex-
pected to expire.

ried. Gross Earnings, Employees
and Passengers Injured in Rail
way Accidents.

The LIGHT has been favored
with copy of the fifth statistical
report of the interstate commerce
commission for the year ending
June 80, 1892. The report is as fol-
lows:
The total mileage Of railway of
the country was III, 563.52 miles,
being an increase during the year
of 3,l6O.7S miles.
The total number locomotives on
June 80, 1892, was 1916. OF these
S,S4S were passenger locomotives,
1893 locomotives were assigned to
the freight service, 1896 were
switch locomotives, and 1874 were
unclassitied and leased.
The total number of employees in
the service Of railways on June 30,
1892, was S2l, 4l5, being an increase
of 81, 100 over the previous year.
The capitalization of the 1872, 397.-
80 miles covered by the report was.
on June 30, 1892, $1O,226,74S.134. OF
this amount 81 1858, 1876 were rep
resented by stocks and $5,O53,O $685.
$50 by funded debt. Mortgage

The gross earnings from opera
ton of railways during the wear
ending June 30, 1892, were $l,17l,-
4O7 ,343. The operating expenses

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
The number of railway employees
killed during the year covered bv
the report was 2,554, being less than
the number killed during the pre-
vious year. The number of en-
ployes injured, however, was in ex-
cess of the number injured during
the previous year, being 2S,267.
The number of passengers killed
was largely in excess of the num-
Der killed during the previous
year, being 376 in 1892 as against
293 in 1891; while the number of
passengers injured was 1927 in
1892, as against 1872 in 1891.
An assignment of casualties to the
opportunity offered for accidents
shows l employee to have been
killed for every 322 employees, and
one employe to have been injured
for each 80 men in the employ of
the railways. \ similar compari.

Not a dollar was seen, not single
note,
AS over the town we wandered :;
The bank would not lend us, they
put it to vote,
TO keep all they got, so we
squandered.
Not a damn did we care how much
we had lost, y
All the same, we went off and got
trusted;
And cared but little how much the
things cost,
For we knew we would soon be
busted. O.
