GENTRY NOT IN CONDITION.
Robert J. Again Proves Too Much for
Him and He Is Withdrawn.

Philadelphia, Nov About 5000 per
sons journeyed to the Old Point Breeze
track to-day to see the two equine wonders
of their respective classes, Robert j and
John r. Gentry try conclusions. The
horses met few days ago at Nashville
but the race was a disappointment to
McHenry, who trains the western stall
lion. To-day's race was no exception, as
far as the disappointment was con-
cerned, as after the second heat, Nc
Henry asked, and was granted permis-
sion to withdraw his horse, the injury
he received at Nashville having returned
The race was also a disappointment to
the spectators. from the fact that COM
paratively slow time was made in both or
the heats that were paced. In the second
heat John r. Gentry showed that he was
not up to bruising race, and Robert
won as he pleased.
The latter, later in the day, was sent a
mile with a running mate and succeeded
in lowering the track record of pos held
by Mascot to 2;0S
Before the first heat Robert ]. sold for
SOS against $40 for John r. Gentry. Gentry
drew the pole.
on the second attempt the pair were
sent away on even terms. McHenry sent
John K. to the front and at the quarter
the western horse had a half length the
best of it. Going to the half, Geers gave
Robert ]. his head and he quickly went up
on even terms with Gentry, and at the
half was a neck to the good. In the next
quarter Robert ]. increased his lead to one
length. He had a length and a half the
best of the argument turning into the
stretch, and increasing the lead at every
jump swept by the stand three lengths in
advance of Gentry. The time by fractions
was: :S2Ia; :03ia; 1850, and POS.
In the second heat the pools were, Rob-
ert j. SIS, field IS.
Robert ]. took the lead when the word
was given and at the quarter was two
lengths in front. Going to the three-quar-
ters the lead was increased to eight
lengths. From the three-quarters to the
wire, Geers pulled the world-beater to al
most q walk and he won by five lengths in
the slow time of 212%.

Erie, Pa, Nov. AFTER the midnight
reception that followed the meeting at
sandusky, the Mckinley special made a
flying trip TO Erie, $50 miles distant, where
it remained till daylight. At O'Clock
when it was brought into the union
depot. the whistles of scores of locoro-
tives and manufactures and other indus
trial establishments began by a precon-
certed arrangement, to set up an indescrl-
bable din, which continued while the

like structure, 400 by 200 feet, 10, 600 people
we're standing shoulder to shoulder The
audience was composed mostly Of mechan-
les and artisans, many of the LARGEST
mandatory plants having given their
employees a half holiday The governors
visit was in the especial interest Of Mat
thew Griswold the nominee against
Honest joe Sibley. Gov. Mckinley
spoke for an hour on the tariff issue, and
while refraining from referring to Mr..
Sibley by name. took occasion to saw:
THE republican party still stands for the
great principle Of protection to American
industries"
At the conclusion OF his address. which
was continually interrupted with an
plause, 1900 people accompanied the gov
ornor TO the train and besleged II until

Several Matters of Special and General
Interest,

Waycross, Ga, Nov. 2.-Several farmers
hereabouts, who several years ago planted
pecan trees in their yards and orchards.
have now good income from them. They
bring many bushels of pecans here, and
receive good prices. They are a superior
article.
The report from here saying that the
dengue was prevalent hereabouts, and
that some of it's victims had died of II,
seems to have been mistake. A few per-
sons here have had mild attacks of dem
que, but no deaths have been reported
The children of the employees of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railroad
receive free tuition for about three quar-
ters in the high school at this place. pro-
vided by the Plant system in fund for
that purpose.
New stores have been opened right
along in this place since fall opened, and
business is good in all it's branches The
merchants of Waycross have entered
upon new era of prosperity.

A COTTON GIN BURNED.
The Fire Believed to Be of Inoendiary
Origin.

Origin.
sylvania. Ca, NOV. 2.-Five-cent cotton
seems to be popular with few of our
populist citizens of the colored persuasion.
Arthur Thompson and Solomon James,
both strong third partvites, were arrested
last week for stealing cotton from Henry
Reddick. Thompson was found guilty and
sentenced by Judge kittles to the chain
gang Tor six months. The testimony
against the other one was not so strong,
and he was acquitted. Two other colored
brothers Of the same political prOclivities
were brought in from over near Haides a
night or two ago, charged with stealing
cotton from Mr.. W. K. Harrison, and
lodged in our new Jail.
The new town calaboose will soon be
completed. 1t has four departments, and
when finished win be quite an imposing
looking edihce.
The gin house of Mr.. James Fleeman, a
prosperous farmer and merchant, near
here, was burned down recently. He lost
about fifteen bales of cotton, besides a lot
of farming implements and couple of
gins. Mr. Fleeman thinks it was of incen-
diary origin

AUGUSTA WARNED.
Popuiists Will Boycott Her if Richmond
Gives Black Big Majority.

Sylvanla, Ga, Nov. 2.-The populists of
Screven, though they have not the pleas
ure of living in the Tenth district have
put on their war paint, and are after
Augustus scalp. They have passed reso-
lutions expressing their displeasure at the
large majority that Richmond county
gave against their beloved leader" two
years ago, and declaring that If the thing
happens again they will boycott all the
business men of Augusta, or, as the reso-
lutions have it, let that city severely
alone" They do not say to what exact
notch Augusta can go with her majority
without bringing down the boycott upon
her offending head, but it is minated
that 1t must be at least several thousand
below what it was in 1892. Should the
democrats up there poll very large vote,
ii viii be interesting to watch what effect
the boycott will have on Augusta. 1t is
worthy of note that nothing is said in the
resolutions about the populists in Column
bia, McDufhe and other counties of the
Tenth district polling more votes for their
party alone than there We're legal voters
on both sides in the county.

No Iicensa Rannired

Recorder Wilson decided yesterday
morning in the police court that CornweI
& Chapman were not liable for con-
tractors license because they took con
tracts to roof houses with tin sold by
them. The recorder held that as the
firm alredy had license as hardware
dealers that it was not necessary for. it
to take out a contractors license, as the
first license included the right to carry
on the business in which they were en-
gagged. The section of the ordinance re
curing contractors, architects and others
engaged in this sort of work to take out
a license was intended to apply to parties
doing business who carried no stock, and
did not apply to merchants who had al
ready taken out license to carry on a
particular business in all its details.
