A GREAT DRIVE.

CHIoAao, Aug. 2l.-Alix, Monroe Salis- bury's wonderful little mare, created Q sensation at Washington park this after noon by turning the track in 2:05A in an attempt to beat the record for the course, 2:06H, made by Nancy Hanks in 1892. The concensus of opinion among well known horse men after the race was that the per- formance was the grandest ever accom- plished by trotter, as the track WAS fully two seconds slow and the day hardly well adapted for record smashing. The weather was bright and clear, but a'chilly wind blew from the northeast, although it died out almost entirely before the mare was brought out. After two attempts to get Alix going right, Mcdowell nodded for the word and went to the first quarter in 3lh When the time was shown from the timers stand, it was conceded that little better than 2:07 would he done. At the half, made in 1:o3A, the mare was joined by running mate and finished out, seem- ingly well within herself, an even second better than Nancy Hanks record for the track. Great enthusiasm was displayed at the finish. Mcdowell stated afterward that the backstretch was cuppy and the far turns too loose and holding. He is cer- tain that Alix will do 2:03 or better before the season is over.

WAS IT FOUL PLAY7
Arrests of Officials Made in iConnec- ton With the Death of Bank
 Examiner Miller. ,srfs .,

ALTOONA, Pa., Aug. 21.-The affairs of the Second National bank, where Bank Examiner Miller committed suicide, are furnishing a new crop of sensations. Yes- terday May berry Miller, one of the clerks, was arrested, charged with falsifying the books of the bank.
 Today Harry Clabaugh, assistant cashier, was arrested on a similar charge, and to- night dispatch was received from Pitts- burg detective agency saying that Gard ner, the absconding cashier, was seen in Pittsburg today and asking for authority for his arrest.
 It was sent at once, but as yet Gardner's arrest has not been reported. Other ar- rests among the bank employees are threat ened. Clabaugh, upon being approached after his arrest, refused to make any state- ment, except that he would make startling revelations when his case came up for trial. and the impression was given that these revelations would duplicate Bank Examiner Miller, the suicide.

Chief Mullin Gets an Arm Broken
 And

And Otherwise Injured by Fall- ing SkyIightS-About6a $12Oo
 Damage Dones

At 12:o5 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the rear of the second story of the three story building on Third avenue, be- tween Twentieth and Twenty first streets, occupied by Spiro & Long, timers. The blaze was discovered just before 1t burst through the back windows and an alarm turned in. The eatirei department turned out and six lines of hose were laid in short order.
 By this time the blaze was fierce and bid fair toward doing more damage than it really did. The firenen began fighting it both from the front and back. Water checked the flames which were getting into the third floor.
 Just at this time Chief Mullin, Captain Rolla and another fireman were raising a ladder on the inside of the building when both skylights fell in.
 The falling framework and glass fell upon them and Chief Mullin had his right arm broken near the wrist, while Captain Rolla was knocked almost unconscious, besides being cut badly on the right arm and also burned.
 Fighting was kept un by the chief, wh ile Captain Roila, whose arm was bleeding profasely, was carried to Norton's drug store, where the wound was temporarily dressed.
 Chief Mulln was afterwards carried to the department, where Dr. Rosser dressed his arm, which had caused no little pain
 The damage will not be over $12O0, as there was nothing but lot of trash on the second and third floors.

tween striking laborers, their sympathiz. CTS and gang of Italians who had taken their places, was narrowly averted this morning by the quick interference of the police at Archer avenue and the Lake Shore tracks. At this point the Rock Island and Lake Shore railroads are beginning the work of eevating their tracks. When the Italian laborers assembled for work mob of 1500 men, women and boys gathered in half an hour. They blocked tue tracks and drove the laborers from their work, throwing stones, coupling plus and other missiles at the fleeing foreigners. Detective Mulvarey of the Lake Shore railroad was knocked down by stone when he tried to talk 10 the mob. The sight of the police made the mob scatter and work was resumed.

 Georgia watermelons are known every where.

The celebrated tDean Rattle Snake' melons come from the last named district, and the first carload of them has just arrived in Birmingham, each melon bearing the growers name.

FOR THE YARN WoRKERs-oTHERs DE-
 TERMINED IN THEIR FIGHT.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 21.-A feel ing prevails that all of the mills in the city, whose production is yarn exclusively, are likely to follow the Rowland corporation and the New Bedford Manufacturing com pany in conceding the old schedule of wages to their employees, but the mills pro. ducng cloth intend 10 fight the matter cut. If this should prove to be the case the strike would be settled so far as about 4000 operatives are concerned, but there would still be about 1000 of the operatives in idleness.
 The loom fxers met at Spinner's hall early this morning. There was not one of 210 loom fixers in the city unaccounted for. The meeting was intensely enthusiastic and the sentiment was unanimous not to return to work until an assurance is re- celved that the old schedule of wages is re- stored.
 The loom tixers are vehement in their as- sertions that the cut down is more unjust in their case than that ot any of the other operatives.

EVERnARDT WINS.
It Took the Twenty Fifth Round for Him to Knock Out Stan-
 ton Abbott.


 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 21.-There were 5000 spectators seated in the Olympic club arena tonight at 9:15 o'clock, when time was called for the twenty five round scien- tific glove contest betwee Stanton Abbott, the champion light weight of England, and Jack Everhardt of this city for a purse s of S1500.
 Abbott commenced the fight by landing "a sharp body blow. Some heavy in fight ing followed near the ropes, Abbott doing the better hitting. In a clinch honors were easy. Both men landed rights, and Ab- bolt retired to his corner with mark on the left eye.
 In the second round Everhardt received left in the stomach. The Englishman seemed to confihe his fighting principally to the body. Both landed blows on the head. Abbott landed left on the face and ran away from a return. The Englishman scored two lefts as the gong ended the round.
 The fight continued with but slight va- riation to the eighth round, when Abbott, in a hot rally in the center of the ring, apparently had the best of it and finally landed on his opponents face.
 In the ninth round there was some hot fighting, and In the tenth and eleventh rounds Abbott had much of the best of it, knocking Everhardt down with a left in the face.
 From this time to the twentieth round Abbott was in the best condition. In the twenty second to the twenty fourth rounds the fighting was furious, Everhardt.im- proving in condition while Abbott looked tired.
 h the twenty fifth Abbott was knocked out, after having been knocked down half a dozen times. During the last part of the contest Everhardt fouled Abbott several times, but no notice was taken of 1t.
