San.Antonio Jockey Club.

Matters are lively on the
grounds of the San Antonio Jockey
club, as visit to that coming CEN
ter of sport amply demonstrates.
Work on the grand stand is
rushed and the whole will be I'M
der the painters brushes next
week. One half of the two hun
dred stalls will be completed
Saturday night, and the other
hundred a week from Saturday.
The track is being wet down with
water from the river, through a
fire steamer, and will be ready for
the trainers to work upon early in
the coming week. Secretary
Hooper and Director Sid
Berry leave for Dallas to-
night, to labor with the Dallas
hOrsemen and induce the flower of
the Dallas racers to come down to
San Antonio when the fair closes.
Word is received that r.. G.. Pate is
leaving st. Louis with three car
loads of trOtting an racing stock
for Dallas and Mexico. He is
booked for San Antonio and will
be in at the finish if he can. Al
ready there is assurance that not
less than POO horses will be stalled
for the first meeting, and that
ought to be encouragement sutfi-
cient to induce the club to continue
in the broad and liberal policy that
| has marked its beginning.

scene of accident to lift the shat
tered cars. The wreck is ten rods
east of the Michigan Central rail

failure of the air brakes to work.
"All the dead and injured have
been taken from the wreck. The
wrecking engine has removed the
cars. The frightful list is fifty two
injured and seventeen killed. Most
of them are frightfully manglcd.

THE BOAT RACE.
Wind Thirty Miles an Hour-Vigl-
liant Ahead.

SANDY HOOK, \. v, Oct. b.
The preparatory gun was fired at
ll:15.
NAVESING, II :O5 p. m.-The start
was delayed up to now by the fail
ure of the Nalkyrie to come to the
post. 1t is not known what pre-
vented her doing so.
l2:l0 p. m: The Nigilant crossed
the line and was followed by the
Nalkyrie, the latter minute be-
hind. Both boats are on port
tack, breeze is stiff as ever, and
there is a chOppy sea; plenty of
white caps, and both boats some
times heel far over. This will be
the fastest and most exciting of
all the races.
12:l4-Nigilant tackled again
and headed for the shore.
Nalkyrie Immediately followed
suit. Both boats are sending
showers of spray over their
decks. But Nallyrie does not
appear to be as wet as the Ameri-
can yacht. The excursion fleet is
chasing the racers, and both yachts
and steamers will be enVelOped by
fog in few minutes.
The Nigilant is holding her lead.
At - 10 the Nigilant is leading by
one-eighth of a mile. The wind is
blowing thirty miles an hour, from
southeast, and freshening every
minute.
l2:35 p. m.-The race should fin
ish before 3 o'clock.
2:46p. m.-The yachts are draw
ing together somewhat, although
the Englishman has a good lead.
The Nigilant is doing gOOd'work to
windward.
12:15 pm: Nigilant appears to
be drawing up rapidly on her ri
val and the gap is so small it is
herd to tell which boat leads.
(Nalkyrie leading may be an error,
fog heavyD
FAR ROCKAwAY, l:35 p. NJ
The Nalkyrie is fully POO yards to
windward. The cutter is OutpOint-
ing the Nigilant, and apparently is
doing better work in every way.
The yachts have now covered u
miles Of actual distance, but have
not gone so far on the course. The
Nigilant is now holding up better
in the wind, and seems to be clos
ing the windward gap.
2:l0 p. m.-The Nigilant seems
to be out pointing the Nalkyrio this
time. They are apparently head
ed for the stake boat.

Trouble for Sugar Men.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. l3.-[Special J
From present indications the
sugar men are going to have
trouble realizing on their crops
this year, owing to the fact that
the internal revenue officer of this
place reports no appropriation
made looking to the sugar bounty.
Col. Burke applied for five assis-
tant deputies to carry on business
some months ago, but no attention
has been paid to the matter by the
Washington officials. The labora-
tory is not in running order and
the analysis of sugar will necessari-
ly be delayed. SHOOT.

part to his coat-tails, would be clerk to q

Whatever may be said for the senate,
(Which is more orderly, less attentive, no
bagging to their trowsers) the house is ..a q
pandemonium. A western 'Yahoo" sat
by us in the gallery when the cleft-plate
at the clerks desk was rattling off q bill.
Only one man seemed TO know what was
going on. He presented the bill. a few
probably paid Il, attention because they
could unders,and nothing anyway. We
asked the plo~boy what he thought OF the
house?
.sIt's q Dr. n't-give-a-d-n behind q

bust the cl,ariot-and, perhaps, they wont. +
We havrheard important discussions on
grave questions, establishing serious pre-
cednts, with not over rs members in seats,
not a solitary one paying attention, and
two strolling the floor, in the open
space in The Speakers front, in cloak
rooms, or about the building. The session
begins at l 2 M, thereby compelling every
congressman to be absent from his seat for
lunch. There is a big Doodle in that!
You see those elegant lunch rooms and
bars have what the card-player calls a
s.sinch'' on trade. And thus the vital in
tersts Of the mightiest Republic and Con
servator Of Fraud the world over knew
must scratch gravel to find worms for
biscuit seller!
The session is continuous farce. 1t
has no end. Rare is that event which calls
members down to business. It is not SO

bookkeeper or manager with five hours
! office work who was so Indifferent would
not answer for these men. And the gall
cries are as noisy as the floor in some sec
4 tions Where the plain common citizens
sit it is usually quiet But where the
women are, especially the members
Families, it is hubhub most of the time.
We hope the peoples party members will
take the lead in SOLDERING down this-that-
should-be the most consequential body of
men on earth. This is the serious fact:
that not one-half of our members know
what is going on one-half the time. This

journments are frequent. We may be
cynical, and prone to faultfinding, though
our employees rarely leave Us. But if those
members were in our employ we'd dischar .

This account is not fiattering to the
American Citizens. The writer is not
dazed by marble splendors Of a capitol;
nor by the feverish flashes Of genius which
at times illumine those chambers 1t IS

More Financial Lcgislation.

Not much debate k anticipated on this bill, as Representative Warrer. a member of the committee, is the ouly antagonist the bill has so far as known His objection. as stated in his minority report, k based upon the ground that the essential office of federal law in reference to national banks is in connection with their circulating notcs and this act is so exclusively for the protection of stockholders and depositors that the proposed extension of federal in reference with the banking business should not be enacted into law,
 Representative Hepburn of Iowa, wLu was solicitor of the treasury under the Harrison administration, commends the measure.

WuI;t ESTER, Mas. Oct. l6. .-Dr Ward well Amcragc of this city and Dr. Gerrett B. B. I.arkCQue of Boston were arrested. They are charged with conspiracy in the false C umittnl to the State LunatiC hospi- tai of Jonas T.. Greeley, q member of Post No. l9. C. \. F. and the owner of a grocery store on linCulu street.
 MT. Greeley >Iy> that he became ac- quaimtcd with Dr. Amcrage a year ago. Domestic troubles began, and G reeley for badc the doctor to make any more visits to his house. Mrs. Greeley and her two sons went to reside with friends on Paine street. Soon after this Mir. Greeley left the city to visit relatives.

 Amazed at the intelligence. Greeley at once called Un Constable Macombcr. The constable informed him that he was under arrest
 \ complaint had been sworn out against him by Dr Nmcragr and Dr. Larkcque. They charged that he was violently insane. The complaint was signed by Greeleys two sons, ArChihHld and Charles. Greeley was taken tO the hospital for lunaticS, which is presided over by Dr. II. N. Quimby. He was convinced that his committal was a scheme coucocted by the two doctors and his family to get him out of the way in order to obj ain possession of his property. Superintendent Quimhy. after an exami- nation. decided that Greeley was not in sane and discharged him.
