were charged with having set on foot, pro-

The revenue cutter Hamilton arrived

brought in his prisoners. Captain Blake

The prisoners took their arrest coolly

leader of the party is said to have escaped.
This is the first arrest of filibusters made
since the trouble in Cuba and it has been
anticipated for some time, as it is believed
that men had been leaving Philadelphia
and the vicinity.
The scheme of the party captured is said
to have been to have freighter meet them

quarter incomer a very hard bird. The
great number of birds that fell dead out OF
bounds is attributable to the stiff breeze,
and the additional fact that the only
buildings about the grounds were directly
in the rear of the score line, fact which
all shooters know will increase the number
of incomers.
R. B. Woodward shot in commendable
FORM He lost his twenty-third and
twenty-fifth birds from pure nervousness
"buck fever" it is called among sportsmen
but he ''pulled himself together" in the
language of the sportsmen, and killed his
final score of five birds in his usual good
form. A. G. Tubbs surprised his friends
by holding together as well as he did,
making the splendid record of just one
bird less than Mr.. Woodward. W. B..
Tubbs' shooting was very fine and, in fact,
between the work of the Tubbs brothers
and Mr.. Woodward there was but the
chance of fortune in birds.
A "scrub race took place at the track
to-day while the shooters were busily en-
gagged at the traps, and attracted the at
tention of all, even the participants in the
shooting. 1t was only for SIS, but it is to
be doubted If even the "crack" races of the
occasion exceeded this one in interest.
There were no names given, but it is whis-
pered about that the ''scrub" gray was a
ringer, and has been successful in showing
its heels on many occasions as it did to-day,
to the owners perceptible increase of
purse.
The races that are scheduled to take
place tomorrow are taking up the atten-
ton of every one here tonight. There
will be six races, with from five to eight
entries in each, and it is expected that the
day will be the crowning event OF the out

which has been the topic of subdued whis-
perings during the week. will take place.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 30.-R. I. Allen
of Omaha, Nebr,, shot and badly wounded
himself on New York Central train few
miles out of Buffalo this morning. He
was travelling with his wife. He had been
to New Jersey and was returning home.
On leaving his wife for moment Allen
went to the toilet-room, and a moment
later the passengers were startled by a
pisto-shot. Several men rushed to the
spot and found Allen lying in his blood,
which had oozed from bad wound in the
left side. He was cared for as we'll as he
could be on the cars, and when the train
reached Buffalo was taken to the Emer-
gency Hospital. The doctors found that
the bullet had just touched the apex OF his
heart. His aim was well directed, and had
not the bullet struck some hard substance

at the racetrack, the boundary line being
indicated by diamond cut flags, alternating
in red white and blue colors. The ladies
turned out quite generally to witness the
sport, but the assembly of spectators
was not equal to that which marked the
racing event of yesterday, or the polo
match of the day previous.
The contestants were divided into two
teams of seven each, one extra man shoot
ing alternately for each team. The teams
were designated as the Reds and the Blues.
F. r. Webster, captain of the Reds, mar
shaled~ the following contestants: A. G..
Tubbs, Andrew Jackson, F. s. Tuttle,
Harry Jerome, J. d. Grant and Baron Won
Schroeder. In opposition were arrayed the
Blues: Captain F.W. Tallant, R. B. Wood
ward, w. B. Tubbs, Robert Oxnard, Alex
ander Hamilton, George Crocker and J. D.
Oxnard, while Dr.. Vowinckle alternately
shot with each team.
The betting led off with the Blues as the
favorite team-this too in spite of the fact
that the men were pitted against each
other in as nearly an even manner as their
previous record at the trap for the season
would permit. The sequel showed that
the favorites had been well chosen.
The shooting began at 10 o'clock and
continued throughout the day, with only a
short interval for luncheon, until 80 P. NJ.
Up to the fourth round the shooting was as
nearly tie as possible, but on this score
the Blues gained the advantage of one
point and thereafter steadily and surely
set winning pace, closing the main match
OF the day by the score of 1876 points to 125
for the Reds, thus winning the match by
eleven birds. The birds were a good lot,
having been carefully selected for the occa-
sion. The score in the main match was in
detail as follows, each man shooting at
twenty-five birds, the first twelve of which
determined the individual score of the
shooter for the seasons club prizes:

RIB. Woodward and A. c. Tubbs, being
tied for the days shoot at twenty five
birds, then shot off for the prize for the
best record of the day in match at five
birds each, which resulted in Mr.. Wood
ward winning by killing his five birds.
Mr.. Tubbs failed to score his second bird,
which. however, fell dead just outside the
bounds. This makes the second time Mr..

The next event was to determine tie

the third medal to Mr.. Tubbs, who had

IN THE RIVER.
Christopher Columbus, the
Whaleback, and the John,
A. Dix Met.
Both Crowded With Passengers,
and Several Injured During
the Panic.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 30.-The steamers
Christopher Columbus the whaleback, and
John A. Dix, both heavily loaded with
passengers, collided at the mouth of the
river at IL o'clock tonight A panic en-
sued, in which many were more or less
injured.
The John A. Dix had her side broken in
and every passenger on board was thrown
from his feet. A general commotion en-
sued and during the BILE the most
injury was done to those on board.
The steamers Christopher Columbus and
Virginia had come into the river, and were
just Tying up when the John A. Dix came
between them on its way up. AS the
wheel of the Dix got opposite the stern of
the whalepack the stern OF the latter boat
swung around. There was a crash, the
Dix careened, men and women screamed,
and several hundred persons were thrown
into struggling mass to one side of the
boat. When the disabled boat righted her.
self it was discovered that large hole had
been made in her side.
On the Christopher Columbus there was
not so much confusion as on the Dix,
though even on that boat, which already
had its nose fast to the wharf, the exite-
ment was great. The steamers had been
out with excursionists for a moonlight
trip on the lake, and both were heavily
loaded.
When the collision occurred the steamer
Virginia pulled across the stream in answer
to the appeals of the frightened passengers
and took off all on board.
Several women were completely pros
trated and were removed to their homes
after being landed by the Virginia. After
the Dix was unloaded she was taken in
tow and pulled to South Chicago, where
she will go in drydock for repairs.
The whaleback was only slightly dam
aged.
