NEW ORLEANS RACES.
The Events Were Considered Great
at the Turf Exchange.

The Events Were Considered Great
at the Turf Exchange.
The races yesterday were great, at
least so thought the large crowd at
O'Dell's Turf Exchange. They had red
hot tips on nearly every race, and as one
after another went sailing thro ugh,
and as their pockets swelled with their
winnings (and they were large, by the
time the fourth race at New Orleans was
on they were ready to make killing, so
to speak-and they did it. There were
only six horses in this race 1.-TWO of
them coupled, and when the
first quotations came in they
were quoted at to l. They played
heavily at that price, as they did not ex-
pect over to l, but the second quotations
finished the work. 1t quoted the stable
at 10 to |, which was surely false price.
They did not quit playing it until they
were off. The stable ran first and second,
and the crowd won about $1,000 on the
race The entries for to-day are excel
lent. Included in the handicap is Marie
Lowell, on whom a heavy winning was
made Wednesday. First quotations re-
ceived at 1:30 o'clock, city time, at

Rohde Put in Jail.

The crazy man, Rohde, who was ar
rested at the De Soto about 1 o'clock yes
terday morning, and who was taken to
the barracks for safe keeping until some
disposition could be made of him, was
sent to Jail yesterday. Recorder Wilson
took immediate steps to have Rohde cared
for. Should he become violent or show
no signs of recovery, he will be sent to
the asylum at Milledgeville. He has an
noyed various parties, who appealed to
the police for protection, fearing the man
would become violent When the police
man arrested him he refused to go to the
barracks, and it was found necessary to
bind his arms with rope.

A HEAVY INCREASE.
Difference in the Value of Shell Road
For Taxation and For Sale.


For Taxation and For Sale.
The suit of the Vernon Shell Road Com
pany against the city is still on in the
city court, with fair chance of consum-
ing about two more days. Mr.. j. r.
Saussy began his argument last night for
the company, and the case will be contin-
ued at 10 O'Clock this morning.
In the testimony which has come out
with regard to the value of the property
in question, are some interesting facts
The entire road from 1881 for several
years was returned for taxation at a
valuation of 81 900. About 1885 the valu-
alton was raised to S., 900, and when Mr.
D. B. Lester took charge of it in 1891, the
valuation was made on 1877 shares at $50
per share, or q total of 50, $50. Mr.. Les
ter bought all the shares but three, which
the owner, Alfred Kent, would not sell.
The company now wants the city to pay
900 for that portion of the road be-
tween Anderson and Twelfth streets. 1T
holds, however, that the road is the prop
erty Of the company in fee simple and
that it could if it so desired, close it up
and sell it out for building lots, and that
the city would have to purchase it if it
was desired for right of way just as
from any other property owner.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
Henry Chambers Goes from the Wit
ness Stand to the Jail.


Quite a sensational event took place at
the United States court house last night
during the progress of the Robertson
case. The testimony for the prosecution
was concluded yesterday afternoon, and
the court met again at O'Clock last night
to begin the taking of testimony for the
defense.
Henry Chambers, colored, alias Carey
Chambers, of Pearson, who appeared in
the case as witness for the defendants
cOntradicted himself once or twice during
the time he was giving his testimony, and
in order to see what he was up to, both
Judge Speer and the district attorney
questioned him closely. Chambers would
swear to anything that was asked him
DE had made half dozen or more contra
dictory statements when he was sent
down from the witness stand. None of
those in the court room paid much atten-
ton to the case beyond the fact that the
witness had contradicted himself several
times.
Judge Speer, however, issued a bench
warrant for his arrest, charging him with
perjury, and the marshal was instructed
10 arrest him. Chambers was closely
watched, and as soon as he went out of
the court room he was taken in charge by
Deputy Marshal Ayers and handcuffed.
When he saw what was up the negro tried
to play a little game on the marshal and
fell down in fit, or at least he pretended
to have fit. A good jerk from the hand
cuffs, however, brought him to his
senses and he was soon on his way to
Jail.
The testimony in the case against the
two Rickertsons, who are charged with
conspiring against and intimidating wit
nesses of the United States court, was
concluded last night, and the arguments
will be made to-day. The jury was again
taken to the De Soto for the night at the
expense of the United States.

crease the consumption of maize by
this method has been failure and
never will be a success. In spite of en-
couraging reports sent to the depart
ment the fact remains that, although a
natural shortage of other breadstuffs,
famine, or war may increase the con-
sumption of maize for bread, in all
cases it will be only temporarily. The
Germans do not eat hot bread, and the
other ingredients necessary to make
corn bread palatable are too expensive
and not within the reach of the poorer
classes, for whom the bread is mainly
intended. Maize bread does not har-
monte with the rest of the diet gener-
ally preferred by the Germans and to
which they are accustomed. Rye bread
will always be the bread for the ma
jority of Germans, and bread made
from the very choicest of wheat flour is
demanded by the wealthy classes.

It cannot be expected that the com
munities of the world are to become
beggered and pauperized. In order to
sustain a monometallie policy the
creditor nation of the world has adopt
ed, in order TO exact shylock's last
pound of flesh, obtained by legislative
devices of a very doubtful nature.
Either England as the creditor nation
of the world must come in with other
nations for the rehabilitation of silver,
or the other nations, which are the
debtor nations, must form a union in
seIf-defense and jointly decline to pay
interest on national indebtedness until
silver is again restored to where it was
and where it should be, side by side
with gold; and during the existence of
such a union let every debtor nation
tender in payment in its own legal cur
rency the amount now paid in interest

continue this payment until national
