TROTT1NG MEETINGS,
Three to BE Held This Year-Prospects of
AllertOn.

Three to BE Held This Year-Prospects of
Allerton.
INDEPENDENCE. Iowa, April 24.-The trotting
horse breeders have not for many years been
favored with such an early spring for beginning
work. Notwithstanding that this is the worlds
fair year there will be three trotting meetings
given during the season.
The first will be given in June, and then will
come the great August meeting of two weeks,
beginning on the 2lst, preceding the trotting
meeting to be given at Washington Park by the
Northwestern breeders. This. usual, Will be
the big meeting of the year.
The third and last meeting will begin about
October l and continue for four weeks This
meeting has very appropriately been called the
record meeting. as probably more horses OBJ
tain records during its continuance every year
than over all the tracks in the west during that
month.
Some two or three hundred horses will be
worked here this season by the twelve or fifteen
trainers located here. Allerton himself will
not be trained or have harness on this year.
He has been in active training since a two
year-old. and will. it Is thought, be q better
horse next season for years rest. His record
OF 2.691 is the fastest of anv living stallion to
high wheel suky and conservative judges be-
lieve ii he is sound and right in 1894 he will
certainly reduce the present stallion record Of
2.07% several seconds. and may possibly chip a
fraction off the worlds record of 2 O4, now held
by Nancy Hanks.

DANGERS To wHEELMEN.
Reckless and Drunken Drivers on the Sub
urban Roads.

Reckless and Drunken Drivers on the Sub
urban Roads.
Now that the roads are getting IN good con-
dition after the annual resurfacing the number
of wheelmeu appearing on them is steadily in
creasing. The same may also be said of other
vehicles, especially carriages. For the reason
that the road is good the drivers Of horses have
already commenced to speed their steeds, and
some of the wheelmen have had reason to COM
plain Of their recklessness
As printed in The STAR recently, the tollgate
keeper at Sligo was seriously injured by one of
these drivers. and. although the Montgomery
county officials well as the police of this city
have been on the lookout for the driver OF the
vehicle. he has not yet been apprehended.
The action OF Maj. Moore and Lieut.. Swim
dells in stationirg police officers along the
Conduit road has put stop to great deal of
fast and reckless driving on that thoroughfare
and the wheelmen hope the same action will
soon be taken with reference to Brightwood
avenue, where most of the fast and reckless
driving is now being done.

sorts of the swagger set The Chevy Chase
Club, DESTROYS Of giving Washington an oppor-
tnnity to enjoy good sport without the neces-
sity of mingiing with the obnoxious elements
often found at professional races, conceived the
idea of securing dates for 4 meet at this city,
and they chose Mr.. Neville as q member Of the
board of stewards.
When the Chevy Chase COMMITTEES went to
confer with the Pony Association they found
that Mr.. Rowland had secured dates on May H.
IL and Is for a meet in which the Chevy Chasers
should participate only upon his terms He
had also secured an option on the Benning
race track for these dates, provided the Jockey
Club did not hold over. The Chevy Chasers
secured two additional dates from the associa-
ton. May Is and 16, and also leased the Ivy
City track.
Then Mr.. Rowland persuaded the A. H. and
p. Il. Association to impose the condition on
the Chevy Chase people that only horses
which had been entered at Mr. Howland's race
could be accepted on their own course. This
was serious obstacle. since it seemed that in
order to make their own meet successful they
must assist Mr.. Rowland
However. it is said that the Chevy Chase
men have decided to enter their horses for Mr..
Howlaud's meet. but not to permit them to
run. Thus at a trihing expense of entrance
fees they will secure the right to par ticipate in
their own races. and at the same time leave
Mr.. Rowland to run his meeting without their
horses.

CINCINNATI, April ga partition wall in
the electric lighting building now being erected
at the southeast corner Hunt street and Broad
way collapsed this morning, precipitating four
teen workmen into the cellar, distance Of
forty feet.
At the time of the accident there were nearly
fifty men, including carpenters. brick
layers and laborers at work in vsri-
Gus parts of the building. majority
OF them being on the fourth floor. The four
outer walls were completed, but the partition
walls had just begun to peep over the fourth.
The center section gave way, carrying the
workmen with it.
John Hull, married man, fifty-fve years
old. was instantly killed.
The fatally injured are: FrankWeinewuth head
crushed; Ed Weinewuth. crushed about body

internal injuries.
The seriously injured are: William Thomp-
son, aged thirty-eight, back crushed; John
bowman. head cut: John Fox. head cut.
All are bricklayers and helpers.
1t is supposed the accident was caused bv
weak foundation.
After the dead and all the injured had been
carried away a rumor was started that there
were four more men in the wreck. Policemen
and firemen went into the cellar and worked
around. but no other bodies could be found.

tee on legislation Of the order Of Good Tenn
plars, was the next to speak. He
said that the Temperance people would
have been glad il this old law could
have been allowed to run its course. He found
that agitation means education and saloon keep
ers each year experience more trouble to obtain
the requisite signatures to their applications
for licenses. Experience has proven that
where conditions improve the liquor
saloon vanishes. As an instance take any
of the localities that are not being
built up. At first a saloon keeper finds
little trouble in getting the signatures, but
rs new residents come and new houses
go up difficulties spring up. until finally he is
forced out Of the locality. While it is true that
saloons bring money into the treasury. it is
equally true that itincreases taxes. makes paupers
of countless numbers, destroys homes and
holding a license under the old law without
having to be amenable to the rules and regula-
tons and laws of that old law
LIVELY coLLoQUY.
The speaker here interrupted by Mr..
Schade, who demanded to know what right he
had to be present at this meeting when he was
prohibitionist. to which Mr. Garfield replied
that ne had the right Of any citizen to be heard
upon public question.
This seemed to anger Mr.. Shade, who ex-
claimed:
Nudt rlRut nave you 10 come mere ana
abuse honest citizens when YOU know that
your position is only Hypocrisy
Mr.. Garfield replied BY reading the
first portion of the new law. which
he explained was virtually prohibition.
The act, however. further along made
certain provisions whereby an applicant.
after complying with certain conditions. would
be permitted to sell. The law must be all
good or all bad. The liquor men cannot
choose the sweet and reject the sour.
Mr. Garfield explained that he did
not appear before the Commissioners for the
purpose of attacking person. 1t WAS the
business which he was attacking. and as long
as a saloon existed he would be found fight
ing it,
Mr.. John r. Mahoney. high secretary of the
Order of Rechabites of the United States. read
the repeal clause of the new law. which he
maintained plGin enough in its
terms. The law was good or bad, and if the
liquor men wanted the old law they must
submit to the penalties under It, This liquor
business is a nuisance. Everybody admits
that. The people condemn it and the courts
uphold them. He hoped the Commissioners
would stand firm and not take back track.
Mr.. Shade again interposed some warm re-
marks. but was called to order.
Mr.. Frank Madigan hoped the Commissioners
would not issue the order until Mr.. Henry Z.
Davis, who was the counsel of the liquor men.
had had an opportunity to present his case.
The meeting then adjourned.

The Strike Ordered on the Worlds Fair
Grounds.

Grounds.
CHICAGO, April 24.-The strike ordered yes
terday by the central council Of carpenters to
take place today was failure in SO far as it
affected the worlds fair and was nearly
failure far as it affected the entire
city. Every carpenter, union and non-union en-
ployed by the exposition company reported for
duty this morning and nothing was heard or
said about the resolution calling out all the
men employed on buildings where non-union
carpenters were employed.
The number of men who left their work
on various jobs in the city outside of
the exposition grounds is about 800 The
highest number to strike on any one build
ing was twenty-five. The strike was directed
only against contractors who attempted to work
union and nou-union men together and of those
there were only few and they employed small
gangs of men.
Seventy privates and ten sergeants
Of the Columbian Guards resigned
this morning. Their grievances are
similar to those which caused the large num-
Der of designations yesterday. Nearly all of
those quitting are veterans in the service, but
