things he said:
If Democracy would live; II it would not

which it can cast an anchor.
The resolutions reafflrm the platform OF

ried out in good faith; demand a tariff on
imports for revenue alone, condemn

Knox Firm to Be Sued for Goods They
Neglected to Ship.

Knox Firm to Be Sued for Goods They
Neglected to Ship.
The members of the firm of the Knox Ex-
press received the intimation yesterday that
D. X. Varzhabedian, who had a large guam
tity of goods stored in their warehouse before
the fire, is about to commence suit against
them for S35,OOO which he claims 10 the
value Of a lot of carpets and rugs which were
destroyed on account OF their negligence and
carelessness.
Mr.. Varzhabedian deals in costly Persian
rugs and pottery. He claims to have had a
stock valued at S35, 900 stored In Knox's
place, which he placed with them temporarily
on July 49, On July %, he alleges. he wired
from Narragansett Pier to Knox's warehouse
to have them ship his goods at once. He says
he has been in the habit OF having his goods
shipped TO him at various summer resorts, but
this time. for some unexplained reason, they
were not shipped as ordered. Then the fire
occurred and destroyed the entire lot.
VarZhabedian claims that after the fire oc-
Cured, if he had been allowed to take his
goods from the ruins at once. he could have
saved part of them. The Knoxes refused to
allow him to touch anything, and now, after
lying in the water and sun for more than a
week, they are rotted and hopelessly gone.
Mr.. Varzhabedian has consulted a lawyer.
who has advised him that he has good case
against the Knoxes and that he should COM
mence suit at once. The preliminary papers
In the suit will be filed to-day or tomorrow.
The insurance companies adjusters have
not yet been over the ground of the ruins,
nor have they made their report, and AS
consequence nothing can be touched. Some
furniture. a great many carpets and rugs,
and other household goods are being turned
up among the debris, but nothing can be re-
moved.

FARMERS TAKING COURAGE.

Bcncficent Rains Give Hope That Two.
thirds Of a Crop May Be Made.
OMAHA Neb., Aug. 1.-The reports Of rain
continue to pour in from various weather
headquarters with encouraging frequency,
and are in great measure dissipating the big
scare among farmers and stock men. All
along the Union Pacific, B. & NJ, Elk Horn,
and various other lines radiating from this
point throughout the State come the tidings
of restoration Of hope for at least good
half crop.
The whole country to- day presents vastly
different aspect from that of forty-eight hours
since. Many fields that were not expected to
rally under any quantity Of rain under the last
two days downpour are now in normal con-
dition. The crop may average two thirds.

Orioles Bettered Their Position by Defeat.
ing the Senators.
The Senators lost both games to the Balti-
mores yesterday afternoon before 5000 peo-
pie. The chief feature was the persistent and
useless kicking by both teams against Um-
pire Hoagland. Joyce pushed Brouthers of
third base while the umpire was not looking
that way and the latter naturally declared him
out. There was great howl, but 1t was OF
no avail.
McGraw made a wonderful stop Of Cart
wrights hit. O'Rourke also won applause by
a clever stop and assist of an apparently safe
hit. Abbey's base running was very amateur
ish. and he should have been severely repri-
manded.
The Senators lost the first game partly by
reason of their inability to hit Gleason. Only
four measly hits were all the locals could land,
and they came when they did little good.
There was a chance to win out in the ninth
but joyce was not equal to the emergency.
O'Rourke covered short and he had lots to do,
part of which was well done. He shirked two
hits which he could easily have got, and his
mufr of Gleason's fly had much to do with the
defeat
The Senators scored two runs in the third
inning on errors by Brodie and Reitz and Abb
bey's single. They landed two more on bases
on balls to Abbey and Mcguire and Se,bach's
triple, and scored again in the ninth on Sell
bach's base on balls, Mercer's single, and
McGraw's error.
The Baltimores scored four on errors by
O'Rourke and Abbey, bases on balls TO Kelley
and Brodie, and singles by Brouthers and
Reitz. Triples by Reitz and Jennings and a
single earned two runs in the eighth. The

discovered in the act by Henry Gottenkiny

again seen by Gottenkiny. Jennings es-
capped, but was followed by Gottenkiny, who
succeeded in having the burglar arrested.
A knife called 'slat cutter" and skele-
ton key were taken from him. Shortly after
Jennings was locked up in the Fourth pre-
cinct station a man who lives in the same
house with Jennings called at the station and
stated that the prisoner was considered to be
insane and that man named Perry, who
boarded with Jennings, knew that :he latter
was confined in the insane asylum at Fred

M'KNIGRT WAS RULED OFF
Reckless Riding Promptly Punished by
the Alexander Island Judges.
GLADIATOR HAD TO BE KILLED
Through Jockey MeKnights Carslsssness In
Riding Lebanon the Horse Gladiator Re-
csived Injuries Which Neeessitated His
Immediate Death.

An accident in the third race yesterday at
the Island track resulted in the crippling Of
the horse Gladiator. who was afterward de-
stroyed to end his misery. As the cause of
the accident Jockey Mcknight was ruled of
for reckless riding, and the boy will have
plenty Of time to ruminafe over his misdeed.
Tho accident happened just after the start in
the third race, and Mcknight, who had the
mount on Lebanon. crowded Jim Pagan,
causing the latter to fall. Gladiator was just
behind and fell over Pagan. Gladiator's leg
was broken and he had to be shot.

ite, but many Of the horsemen plugged I'm
ported Frolicsome Lass down from to 8 to

and as johnson waited too long with the IA
vorite, the Lass got the verdict by a head,
while Dutch Lou secured third place, much to
the Joy Of the pikers.
As usual tho beaten horse race produced
surprise, this time Martel breaking all exist
ing combinations by giving his field the go

ative odds OF 20 to /. Postmaster was again
played In this race to win, but he made
worse showing than usual and has surely
earned admission to the ''dog" class.
Good betting preceded the running Of the
opening race, the Miss Doloris fllly being
backed down at the close to to s. The filly
won in drive by a head from Turco, who
was a head before Cicada. the finish being
very exciting. In the fourth Brooklyn was
plunged on and closed favorite, while the
prices heightened against the others. Sand
stone had the race won a sixteenth from
home, but as usual Murphy went to sleep and
Brooklyn won by a head.
The closing event produced considerable
speculation between Topmast, Sonora, and
Kenyon, the former going to the post at 7 to
10. The three choices had the race to them
selves, Kenyon winning by a scant length,
with Topmast three parts before Sonora.
