GREATJ0EPATCHEN BEATEN
ROBERT J. W1S FORGED TO HANG
 UP 4 WORLDS RECORD.

The Gelding Won SO Easily That Had He Have Done Bctter-Both Horse and
 Driver Received m Ovation.
 Chicago. Aug. 24.-In the match race at Washington park to-day the great Joe Patchen (2:O6) was beaten by Rob- ert J. (2:o4k in straight heats. but the latter was forced to hang up worlds record to snatch the victory from the Missouri horse. The three heats paced are the fastest ever made by a pacer in a race-2:O5. 2O6k and 2:06h-the aver age being 2:06
 The gelding won so easily in the last two heats as to encourage the belief that had he been forced out by Geers he might have done still better. The match was for purse of 5000 and was by long odds the event of the north western breeders meeting.
 It attracted a crowd of 4,000. The weather was hot and clear with scarce- ly any wind and the track was In fine condition. Robert J. was made favorite before the first race at to 5, his antag- onist being at 5 to 2. The former drew the pole and they were sent away to a perfect break without a foot's differ ence. Geers made the first turn with Robert J. perfectly and gained nearly a length on Curry who failed to negotiate it. Exactly length separated them as they flew by the quarter pole. Down the back stretch Joe seemed to move up trifle, and as they spoke the half mile it was less than a length. The same at the three-quarters and into the stretch was the order.
 Down the long stretch for home they came without mis-move and at the eighth pole it could be seen that the Village Farm wonder would take the heat. Geers then eased up and allowed Curry to come up to within half length of him.
 The second heat was a repetition of the first in many respects. Patchen got a neck better of the start, but Rob- ert J. soon made up the difference and at the quarter was good half length in front. That order was maintained until the home stretch was reached, where Robert J. commenced to run away, finally winning by from three to four lengths, slowing up.
 Patchen was nearly a length behind when the word was spoken in the third heat. Curry nodded his head for 1t. The game horse was left gradually in the rear and at the finish was ten to twelve lengths out of it. Geers allowed the gelding to make his own pace and he was not urged at all in the last quarter. Both horse and driver re- ceived an ovation at the finish.

MINERS LONE THEIR LIVES.
Already Thirty-seyen Bodies Have Been
 Recovered.

Seattle. Aug. 2i-A terrible catas- trophe occurred in the oregon Improve ment companys mines at Franklin, thirty-four miles from here. this after noon. Already the dead bodies of thir- ty-seven men have been recovered from the mines and it is known many other men are imprisoned inthe mine. The number Is as Yet only n matter of con- lecture and 1t is probable that none will escape. The first news of the tragedy was received In this by Manager Smith of the mine company at i20 this after noon in the shape of n telegram from the mine superintendent at Franklin. This message stated that the mine was afire and many miners, both white and black, were imprisoned. Later sec ond telegram was received reading sub stantially as follows:
 'Thirty-seven dead bodies have been taken out, and it is supposed that there are more to be recovered"
 Manager Smith, upon receipt of the first telegram sent out a special train bearing Superintendent Corey and a crew to assist in subduing the flames if possible. and ordering them to take care of the company's property and rescue the imprisoned men. The officials in this city are reticent and refused to give out any information beyond the facts above stated. The fire, 1t is said. caught in breast No. 62 in the sixth level, but of the cause nothing has been learned. One report was to the effect that the fire was still raging, and heroic efforts were being made to recover others in the mine.
 late telegram stated that the thir ty-seven men killed probably died from being suffocated by the smoke, as the bodies did not show burns of a fatal nature.
 Another dispatch from the railroad operator at Franklin stated that the wives, children and comrades of the dead were crowding around the mouth of the mine, frantic with grief. Their lamentations were heart-rending mov- ing the strongest to tears. A telegram received at 1:3O this afternoon stated that the fire was then thought to be out and that the damage would not be so extensive as at first supposed. The smoke had the effect of deceiving them as to the extent of fire.
 No more bodies had been recovered up to that hour, but men were engaged in exploring the mine. O

California Emit in England.

London, Aug. 24-An auction sale of the first large shipment of California fruit brought to this country by the steamer Paris was held at Covent Gar den to-day. All parts of England were represented among the 800 persons in
 attendance. Most of the fruit was found to be in such condition that it was necessary to dispose of it within forty-eight hours of the time of it's ar rival. This was due to it's having been picked too late and packed too tightly. Though the grapes were ali right the market was poor; and the same may be said of the plums and pears. The first lot of the last named offered sold at 4@6 shillings a box. Subsequently the greenter pears fetched il to 12 shil- lingS.

 to-day to file quo warranto proceed
 ings against the Pullman company.
 Attorney ". T. Rankin, representing the Pullman company as general coun- Del, asked for a continuance, owing to the absence from the city of Chief Counsel John s. Runnells.

He suggested that day be set when the contest could be taken up. The attor- ney general declined to adopt this. The court advised that judge be found be- fore whom the matter could be set for hearing, MT. Moloney declined also to do this and renewed his requests to have the information filed over the de- fendant's objection. The court refused to grant this request.
