Anti-Race Track Folk Meddied with
Nominations and Defeated Themselves.
The anti-race track people In Elizabeth
were beaten by interfering with the nomi-
nations for Alderman. They wanted
only candidates named who were pledged
to oppose giving a license to the New
Jersey Jockey Club. They succeeded in
defeating Alderman Story who was a
candidate for denomination and he re-
taliated by voting for the license. II was his
vote that gave the Jockey Club its victory
at Il meeting held on Saturday night The
club had twelve votes but required an
other. They almost failed Saturday, as
Alderman Cantwell did not appear. Mes
sengers were sent in quest Of him aud he
was brought to the City Hall in a coach.
He, by an injudicious speech, made the
race track Aldermen uncomfortable.
He declared be had heard rumors
of Doodle. but had not seen
any. Mayor Rankin made a strong
argument against granting tho license.
The members who voted for the license
were Benjamin, Pool, Storey and Smith,
republicans; Brady. Collins. Cantwell,
Daubner, Egenolf, Horning. Hurley,
O'Donnell and Quinn, democrats.
The club promptly paid the fee OF
$4,000. The track will be open on April
10. 1t 10 said Gutenberg will not run in
opposition.

NEW MARINE ENGINE.
One Invented That Will PropeI Vessel
Thirty-five Miles Per Hour.

One Invented That Will PropeI Vessel
Thirty-five Miles Per Hour.
NEW YORK, April 1O.-George Sheffield
a grey haired inventor of this city today
announced on the MARITIME exchange that
he had invented new marine engine that
would enable the Paris or Teutonic to
make the trip from New York to Queens
town in three days and ten hours. He
said the engine was not problemati-
cal but an accomplished fact and
that it could propel vessels of 5000
tons at the rate of thirty five miles per
hour. The record breakers Paris and
Teutonic have an average speed of less
than twenty one miles per hour. No coal
is to be used on this ocean steamer. The
screw system will be used. In brief, the
thing will be motor power.
Enough of this can be put in couple
Liverpool to New York. One part of the
motive power is sugar, ordinary sugar,
while another barrel will contain chlor-
ate of potash. The machinery is some
what complicated. The steel chamber
into which the piston head enters has a
small tube entering at opposing sides.
Through one the sugar and through the
other chlorate OF potash is injected with
air pressure. They mingle in sulphuric
acid bath, and the explosion drives the
piston. A series of explosions is kept up
by feeding the ingredients, and SO the
piston is kept working by gas instead OF
steam,

CIGAR SWINDLERS.
They Have Worked Denver and Are
Coming West.
A Neat and Novel Method of Disposine
of Cheap and Nasty
Cigars.

DENVER, April 10. - Especial. THE
bankers, lawyers and merchants of Den
yer have been worked to perfection with
in the past few days by two Mexican
swindlers selling cigars. Their mode was
a novel one. They carried several boxes
of cigars around with them in an old
canvas bag and in very secret manner
would approach business man and tell
him that they had some fine Havana CT
gars that they struggled over the border
duty free and they would sell them cheap.
They would then draw cigar from the
center of one of the bundles and present
it to their victims as sample. 1t would be
clear Havana cigar, the only one of it's
kind in the bundle and it worked like a
charm in every case.
They disposed of half million cigars
here within the past few days for prices
ranging from 500 to $50 thousand This
has been their second visit to Denver as
they were here during the Conclave and
disposed of million cigars. They will
visit Salt Lake within Jew days, as they
had one million cigars consigned to
Montezuma Brothers there today, this no
doubt is one of their aliases and they will
present their bill of lading on arrival
there and pay the freight on the goods
and commence working the people.
They confine their efforts exclusively to
the leading business and professional men
in the cities they visit and they will dis
pose of the cigars AT almost any price, and
SO they may, for the cigars cost them but
S1Oa thousand in San Francisco, as they
are manufactured by the Chinese in the
Chinee slums of that city. They are
capable of producing all sorts of diseases
from sore lip to a case of leprosy, and il
diseases OF a loathsome kind are not
prevalent in the aristocratic portions OF
Denver in the immediate future the peo-
pie will have reason to be thankful.

Total Abstinence Life Assurance
Company in Trouble.
OFFICERS TO BE REMOVED.
1t Is Behind in Payment OF Several
Death Benefits
An East Tennessee Land Company APP
pears to Be Absorbing Most of the
Money-Directors Carried
Without Cost.

CHICAGO, April 10.-Auditor of Pub
lie Accounts Gore today made public a
communication addressed the latter part
of last month to the officials of the Total
Abstinence Life Assurance of America in
this city as preliminary to proceedings 20
be begun by the attorney general in the
Cook county circuit court for the removal
OF the present officials of the association
and such other action as is deemed neces-
sary. 1t is charged that the company
has violated the laws governing assess
ment associations in fifteen particulars.
1t is behind in the payment of numerous
death benefits and had failed in several
details OF the law regarding the making
of assessments.
Furthermore, it has not obeyed the law
in its requirements that assessment COM
panies shall invest their guarantee funds
in United States, county, city or other
bonds or stocks on which interest has not
been in default, but has put the money
into the East Tennessee Land company, a
real estate enterprise run by the prohibit
ton people at hartman, Tenn, and in
which General Singleton, president of
the total abstinence association is finan-
cialiy interested and holds position Of
authority.
This, it is alleged, has been done in
spite of official warnings, the holdings of
East Tennessee stock being increased
from about $50, 600 to over 500, 900, after
Auditor Pavey wrote the president about
the matter last year, and notwithstanding
the fact that payment of death losses were
in arrears. j. B. Hobbs, chairman of the
board of directors OF the East Tennessee
company, is said to be equally interested
in the Life Assurance association and is
said to be instrumental in bringing about
deal between the two enterprises
in addition to other Irregularities, the
examiners found that five of the directors
of the Total Abstinence association were
carried as members in good standing
without cost to themselves. S. A. Kean,
private banker whose failure two years
ago is so we'll remembered, was treasurer
of the association for several years prior
to mis- assignment. j. B. Hobbs ran for
governor of Illinois on the Prohibition
ticket four years ago.
| In an interview this evening, President
Singleton maintains that the association
| is acting within the law; that none has or
will lose dollar by reason of its invest
ments, and that attacks on it are the ma
licious work of enemies who dislike the
organization because it is temperance
| institution.

MOhammedans and Armenlans Engage
in a Red Hot Fight.
WORCESTER, Mass, April TO- Last
Sunday week the catholic Armenians had
an Easter celebration and invited many
Mohammedans and Greek church friends.
The Mohammedans observed their spring
festival yesterday and asked their catho-
lie friends to participate. While the fes-
tivities were at their heigth a catholic
Armenian cut a cross with his pocket
knife on table in the house where one OF
the feasts was held. This precipitated a
fight which adjourned to the street, and
soon a mob of over 100 Asiatics were max
ing things lively with stones and clubs,
while pistols and knives were also
brought into play. They fought for over
an hour, The neighboring hillside being
covered with spectators of all nationali-
ties who watched the fighters cut and
pound each other.
Word finally reached the police, and
nine officers were sent to the scene in a
patrol wagon. Their appearance scattered
the fighters, but the police arrested six
teen belligerents, including Jacobs, the
man who cut the cross, and warrant is
out for nine more. All the prisoners are
more or less bruised. Today, in court,
four were discharged. All the others
were tined. After court was over the
party went home and the fight was re-
newed, but the police quelled the row.

the Idaho Penitentiary.
BOISE, April 1O.-[Special. IAN inter

today, it being the case OF
Howard French, charged with the
murder of convict named Hatton.
French was turnkey at the state prison,
On Dec. Is he had difficulty with Hat
ton and killed him with dirk knife.
Evidence at the coroner's inquest seemed
to fully vindicate the turnkey, going to
show that the convict assaulted him with
paddock and that his life was in danger
when he struck the fatal blow.
Evidence adduced before the late grand
jury, however, is said to have put an en-
tirely new phase on the case. French
was indicted and the work of selecting g
jury for his trial occupied the court to-
day. Some OF the ablest lawyers in the
state are engaged on the case and the
trial will be celebrated one. French has
powerful friends and the dead convict $
relatives are able to employ able counsel.

4 FAMOUS CASE.
The Presbyterian General Assembly VIII
Pass Upon the Briggs Matter.

The Presbyterian General Assembly Will
Pass Upon the Briggs Matter.
NEW YORK, April 1O.-Interest in the
Briggs case increases as the time for the
meeting of the Presbyterian general as
sembly IN May approaches. The semi
annual meeting of the New York presby-
terry was held today, the principal bust
ness being the electian of seven clerical
and seven lay commissioners and alter
mates to the general assembly. The Rev.
Duncan j Mcmillan suggested that the
commissioners be chosen from the major
ity as usual with the presbytery, saying
an important case will go to the general
assembly on appeal and it seems only fair
that the delegation should represent the
majority who acquitted him.
This reference TO Briggs brought several
anti-Briggs clergymen to their feet and a
hot discussion ensued but finally the
Briggs men gained a victory. four Briggs
men and three ants being chosen. DIR.
Charles L. Thomson introduced series
of resolutions giving negative to the
overtures of the general assembly in the
matter of the recent revision of The con-
fession of faith and after another warm
debate these resolutions were adopted.
