Gentry Beats Joe Pntohen.

Freeport, H., July 24-Ten thousand people saw John R. Gentry pace all around Joe Patchen this afternoon at Taylor's park. The track was in fine con- dition when the race was called but the rain fell at the conclusion of the first heat. Both horses were loudly cheered when they appeared before the judges stand. Gentry was a slight faVorte in pools, although many horsemen backed Patchen.
 After scoring twice they got the word in the first heat, Gentry taking the lead from the wire and was never headed, although Patchen was not a neck back of him until they passed the three quar- ter pole. Then Gentry pulled away and finished length ahead in 2:04%. Gentry went to the first quarter in 30 seconds, the half in 0:591a (which is the fastest half ever paced in public), three quarters in 1:S0.
 Patchen threw shoe after pacing the half mile post or would have driven Gen. try out in 2:02 McHenry pulled Gentry up in the stretch.
 In the second heat Gentry again took the lead with Patchen close up until the three quarter pole, where Patchen again threw a shoe, and Gentry jogged to the wire in 206A, going the three quarters in 1892
 In the third heat McHenry sent Gen try away at minute clip, which car ried Patchen off his feet, and he broke badly. He was not in it after that and McHenry could have shut him out.

The Guardians Commercial Article.


 Manchester. England July 24.-The Guardian, in its commercial article, says: Business has been very inactive, and apart from inquiry of a few sections the offers have been mostly unavoidable. Most of the important foreign outlets clearly regard lower prices as inevita- ble, their offerings being mostly at such limit as to discount the decline Many producers. although most anxious for business. are unable in advance of an equivalent for the decline in the price of cotton, to consider lower offers. There is a little business with China in bleached grades and some lines in specials and moderate bushes in the east. There is also more inquiry from Bombay, result ing in a few transactions in common shirtings, dhooties and in various spe- cials. The Calcutta business is confined to fancies and specials and an occasional line of staples. Elsewhere business is slow.
 The outlook in yarns is very cheerless. There is a very small retail inquiry at easier prices, and stocks are plentiful. The stoppage of spindles is being very seriously considered

HAD THE TRAIN SPOTTED
The New York and Chicago Express on the Lake Shore Held Up by Employees,
 1t Is Thought.

Toledo, O., July 24.-Train No. S7, west bound, New York and Chicago express, on the Lake Shore and Michigan South ern railroad, was held up by six masked men at 12:30 this morning, at a lonely place in the woods known as Reece Sid- ing, between Archibald and Stryker, O., about ten miles from Wauseon. The train stopped there to let the eastern express pass. The latter train was ap- preaching when the robbery took place. The robbers mounted, rode out of the woods, which are dense and close to the track. Conductor Darling, standing near one of the coaches, was ordered inside at the point of revolver. Admission to the express car was obtained by the same means and the messenger was forced to open the safe. The robbers were entirely familiar with the train and 1t is thought employees of the railroad company or the express company must either be impli- cated as principals or confederates It was probably known to the bandits that a large sum was in the express safe last night. The amount reported obtained is said to be $S000, but it is believed a much larger sum was taken. No attempt was made to modest the passengers, none of whom knew anything of the occurrenca ?. When the thieves secured the contents of the safe they rode quietly away.

 Scott and Bowden are political oppo- which Scott belongs was beaten in the city election. Bowden was elected a councilman on the opposite ticket. and is the father of an investigation into Scott's books The committee reported that there was a deficit of $9000. Scott declares that there is none, but that the charge is continuation of an alleged political persecution. Bowden is the man who was horsewhipped some months ago by MT. Brunson for an alleged in- dignity to Mrs. Brunson. Bowden did not resent the horsewhipping. Bowden achieved considerable notoriety by his connection with the club that pulled off the Corbett-Mitchell mill.

Dr.. PIERCE'S
 Golden Medical e DISCOVERY
Cures Minety-eigfif per cenf. Of aH cases Of Consumption, in aH It's Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura- ble there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that in all its earlier stages, consumption is a curabie disease. Not every case, but large per ceRfage of cases, and we believe, Iafikp oS per ce1f are cured by Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious approximation tinclud- ing tubercular nlatter) great loss of flesh and extreme cancellation and weakness.
 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ieal Discovery were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease2 You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever ill mis- representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Goiden Medical Discovery" but wlio have been forced to confess that it surpasses, ill curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted Nasty cod liver oil and it's filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophos- phites had also been faithfully tried ill vain
 The photographs of large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in book of I6o pages which will be mailed to you, on re ceipt of address and six cents i'll stamps.

No Warship to Be Sent to Colon

Washington, July 24.-A hitch has oc- cured to prevent the navy department from sending a warship to Colon or Panama to guard the American interests involved in the Panama railroad during the strike of the employees and those of the Pacific Mail company. Secretary Herbert and MT. McAdee, the acting secretary of state, had a conference upon the matter this morning, and at the close Secretary Herbert said he had not ordered a ship to Colon or Panama. It may be that a dispatch from Consul General Vifiquain at Panama reporting that the prospects were not so serious has caused a postponement of action on the request of Consul Pearcey at Colon for war vessel, received yesterday. The cruiser Atlanta Is at Key West and is the vessel most available for the duty, but it was learned today that she Is held in quarantine there. The Atlanta arrived at Key West two weeks ago from a cruise In the West Indies. The ordinary period of detention of a ship free from disease is five days. It cannot be ascer- tained why the Atlanta is held so long, but it is very probable that her detention is the reason for the delay of the depart ment in ordering her to Colon.

WON WITH THE WILLOW Evansville Bats Out a Victory at
 Montgomery. THE GAME FULL OF GINGER Pitcher Braun Shows His Pluck at New Dr. eans-Gentry Beats Patchen in
 Dizzy Time--The Sum-
 maries.
THE GAME FULL OF GINGER

Montgomery, July 24.-(Special)- 1.-The final game between Evansville and Mont gomery was indeed a battle royal, de- spite the errors of Montgomery. From start to finish that snap and vim which are necessary to please the fans marked the game throughout. It was hard earned victory for the visitors and no one was especially disgruntled at Mont gomery's defeat after playing such good ball, with possibly one or two exceptions. Both teams secured the same number of hits, but those of Evansville were more timely and effective.
 Hayes colts made their only run in the first inning on this wise: Pabst hit behind short stop after two had gone out. Morrison faced Mason and drove out an- other single, advancing Pabst to second. Kehoe then hit viciously at the next one sent over the plate. His bat connected and the sphere went out safely, Pabst scoring
 Rappold followed, batting out a long fly to Dexter in left field, retiring the side, leaving two men on bases. Several times afterwards the locals got men on bases, but were kept from crossing the plate by Evansville's excellent playing.
 In the third Dexter hit and scored on Burkes forced hit. The visitors failed to score again until the seventh inning, when Burnett hit a double in deep left and stole third. The next two men went out. Excitement was at it's highest ten sion. Finally Burnett was caught nap ping, when Rappold fired the ball to Morrison. Burnett started for home. Morrison held the ball too long and Bur-j nett slid in to home plate, barely escap- ing putout. Hits by Dexter, MeFar- 1a,,

At New Orleans.

New Orleans, July 24.-Two games had been arranged for today between the Nashville and New Orleans teams, but the senseless, interminable kicking of Manager Stallings of the visitors alto gether with dilatory methods of his play CTS in the second game rendered it ex- ceedingly disgusting to the spectators, and the refusal of Stallings to play after the fourth inning with two and a half hours time open to catch his train justi- fled Umpire Mcfarland in giving the second game to New Orleans by score of to 0. The score at the end of the fourth inning was to 2 in favor of New Orleans. In the third inning of the last game Pitcher Braun was struck on the breast with a red hot liner from Myers bat He picked up the ball, threw Myers out at first and then fell to the ground He was carried to the bench and is now all right.
