Gentry, the fastest stallion in the
world, added another to the list of
victories which brighten his remark
able record by beating Joe Patchen,
his formidable rival, en- three straight
heats at the fair grounds. No records
were wiped. out, and the two pacing
kings did not show the speed which
they have proved that they possess,
but the time was such as only these
horses, and one or two others, Robert
j. among them, have probably ever
made. The fastest mile, which was
the first paced, was done in 2:05H.
and the fastest quarter was in 90, pro-
vided no mistake was made by the Of
fetal times, and there seemed to be
an impression among some of the per-
sons who held watches that this was
the case. This was the final quarter
of the last heat, and McHenry drove
Gentry hard and was closely pressed
most of the way by Vera Cappell, the
fast Wisconsin mare. Twenty thous-
and people saw the race. Patchen lost
his feet in the last heat and was prac-
tically out Of the contest as they left

GAS MAINS ABLAZE.
Full Force from the Wells Become
Ignited.

ANDERSON, Ind, Sept. 1S.-One of
the immense gas mains feeding the
furnaces of the new American Plate
Glass works at Alexandra was broken
last night while a casting was being
made The accident was occasioned
by a heavy pot falling from the cone
squarely upon the feed pipe. The full
force of gas from the well became ig-
nited. but the workmen, realizing the
danger in time, fed from the building.
The rush of blazing gas was so great
that the hose and pump couplings
were almost instantly destroyed AS
sistance was asked of the surrounding
towns. and various fire departments
responded. 1t was impossible to shut
off the flow of gas or extfnguish the
blaze, and the efforts of the firemen
were confined to saving the smaller
buildings of the works The loss is
$4,000, without insurance. The plant
was only reopened on Thursday.

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 1S-It is
doubtful if P. T. Barnum, in his palm
lest days, ever saw such a crowd at
his circus as assembled beneath one
of his old three-ringed tents in this
city tonight Barnum used to claim
that he seated 1900 people. If he told
the truth, there must have been a
greater number in it today, for the
space used for circus performers was
occupied by auditors. The occasion for
this great gathering was the reunion

EVANSTON, Wyo., Sept. 1S.-The prose-

closed. The first witness today was Col

Croker on Feb. >, to be consulted as a
friend about a letter received ty him on
the It'll from Lime Higgins, asking Crock
er to call at his house at $3.50 that even
ing, as he had something important to
tell him. Crocller stated TO Foote he
believed it to be blackmailing scheme.
and Foote advised him against keeping
the appointment as it might be job.
Foote at that time said to Croker that
if he did kill Booth. he had plenty of
provocatio Croker replied there was
great provocation, but not enough to
commit murder.

A Disappointncnt.

Sheriff Ward, it has been expected by
the public. would be a very damaging
witness against Croker, but his testi-
mony today was a keen ppointment
to that large portion of the community
who have heretofore believed in Crocler's
guilt. He went TO the barn shortly after
the body was discovered on Saturday
night, JAN o., first learning of the muir
der from Croker, who went to his
house He had many conversations with
Croker at various times, which he re-
peated upon the witness stand, but not
one word that was contradictory or incon-
sistent with Crocilers innocence. Ward
gave it as his opinion that Crocfer turn
ed pale and acted nervous upon one oc-
casion when the murder was under dis
cussion. He had searched Crockers ash
heap and found some pants buttons and
buckle. This was three weeks after the
murder, and at the bottom of the heap
where they seemed to have been for
many months, and not recently pat there.
Ward produced the key With which
Croker had opened Booths drawer in
the company safe. 1t had been given him
by Crocker last April.

Byron Sessions, foreman for North &
stone, Sald ne had hYeo nelShbor 10
Booth and Croker for many years; that
about two years before the murder, he
heard in the barn where Booth was kill
led, a quarrel between them about some
partnership mules. Booth, he said, was
very violent and cursed Croker bitterly
Croker had talked IN mild manner,
once had said 10 BOoth: You talk too
much; some time you will talk too much,
and that will settle it, and then walked
out of the barn. This is the only dis
pute he ever knew of between them
The other testimony of the day was
wholly unimportan-.
The defense Will probably open their
side tomorrow, hut the case will not
likely go to the jury until next week.
