PACING KINGS MEET.
Robert j. and John r. Gentry Race at
Nashville.

Nashville, Tenn, October 1a.-A match
race at Cumberland Park today between
Robert J. and John r. Gentry, proved a
farce. 1t was nearly five o'clock when the
horses scored down for the word, Gentry
being at the pole. Robert J. was a strong
favorite. Gentry was in front at the start
but was soon overtaken by Robert, who
showed the way to the stretch. With the
exception of few seconds on the back
stretch, when Geers got a length the best
of it, the horses were locked the entire dis
tance. They were head and head when the
straight for home was reached, and it could
be seen that both Geers and McHenry were
driving as they never had before. They
came down the stretch like streaks of light
ming, neither gaining on the other. At the
eighth pole Geers vent to whip and the
cry Robert J. is beaten" was shouted
from the grand stand. Gentryspulled under
the wire at least head in front of Robert
j., and after long delay the judges de-
cided it dead heat. The unjustness of the
decision was apparent, and the announce
ment was received with storm of Kisses.
Geers admitted he had been beaten by a
head and that his belief was concurred in
by Hamlin, the owner OF robert j. The
heat was paced in 204, the Irrational time of
which was 81 l-2, 1.0l IL and LBS.

Paris. Me-, October 18.-In the Supreme
court. Melvin B. Morey was convicted of
uttering a forgery and sentence suspended
during good behavior. His fraudulent
marriage was annulled.
The peculiar phases of this case ha We
already given it wide celebrity. Wishing to
marry Anna M. Cross, thirteen year old
girl, Morey applied to the Albany town
clerk for a marriage license. The clerk
refused to grant one without the written
consent of Miss C1 oss's father, and prepared
paper for Mr.. Cross to sign. Morey soon
returned with what purported to be Mr..
Crosss signature, and obtained the license
and married the girl. He took his child
wife to a log cabin which had been used and
deserted by wood choppers in the heart of
the great forest at st toneham, and in this
unique habitation they passed their honey
moon. Morey, as alleged, procured his
household furnishings by methods which
caused his Incarceration, later on the
charge Of larceny. The arrest of Morey
ended this modern version of the babes in
the woods. Morey was indicted later Tor
forgery, and for uttering a forgery. AS the
child-wlfe admitted that she affixed her
fathers purported signature to the paper
the latter Indictment was considered.
Morey's attorney filed a demurrer against
the indictment, but the demurrer was over
ruled, exceptions filed to the ruling carry
ing the case to the Law court, which gave
judgment for the state.

vessel several hours andsassisted in getting
her under way. AS the wind moderated this
