HELD UP WITH GUNS.
A Naval steres Man of WaItertOwn
Has nm, Exciting Experience.

1873 an ArACAAAnS EAnGElences
Waycross. Ga, July 3O-Mr. Parish. a
naval stores man, who was recently a
member of the firm of Suggs & Co, naval
stores operators, at Waltertown, had a
thrilling experience Saturday night as
the threatened target of four guns in
the hands of four determined men. who
were captained by Mr. Suggs, Parish's late
partner. Mr.. Parish was al his home
when the men entered the house and po-
htely requested him to pay Mr. Suggs
500. Mr.. Parish refused 10 comply, and
four guns were levied on him He
quailed. The men again requested the
acceptance of their demands, and empha-
sized the request by holding their guns
at the point of fire with Mr.. Parish as the
target. Mr.. Parish called for quarter
and then wrote a check for S25, which he
handed to Mr.. Suggs. He also gave an
order to the store for provisions for Mr.
Suggs. The four men then left Mr.. Par
ish. Mr.. Parish was here this week to
consult with his lawyers regarding the
affair 1t is learned that he has not de-
cided whether he viii prosecute Mr.. Suggs
and the other men. 1t is almost certain
that he will not.
From what can be learned of the mat
ter, the firm of Suggs & Co. became bad
~ indebted to j. p. Williams & Co.. com
mission merchants of Savannah, and
few weeks ago Williams & Co relieved
Suggs of his interest in the firm and left
the business in the hands of Parish. 1t
seems that Suggs tried to get employment
and failed. He then got three men TO 90
with him to Parish. He accused Parish
of having been responsible for his being
removed from the firm, and also for his
failure to find work

Preparations Nearly All Made for
the Big Race.
EIGHTEEN STARTERS ARE LIKELY
Axiom and Handspring to Run for
Dryer.
GOSSIP OF THE ACK

NEW YORK, August 22.-The final prep
arations of the Futurity candidates are
nearly all made and the number of start
ers has been reduced by accidents or by
disappointments. Handspring and Axiom
will go to the post in the interest of p. J.
Dwyer, both fit and ready. Handspring
will be ridden by Sims, and If no starter
appears under ]. o. Donner's colors Dog
gett will have the mount on the filly. In
McCafferty's stable three are fit, and APP
plegate is the best of the lot in public form,
although Jefferson and Wishard are I'M
known quantities McCafferty will ride the
first ramed, but the jockeys ON the others
are doubtful.
Applegate Is in the best of condition, and
his owner thinks his chances are as good
as anybody's for the rich stakes.
The Blemton stable will start two, at
least, and maybe three. Hastings, of
course, is at the head of the lot, and Per-
kins will be the jockey. Hamilton has been
notified to be ready to ride either Merry
Prince or Refugee, and it will probably be
the former, as he has been able to run
away from his stable companions in the
trials. In yesterdays work Hastings would
only go threc-quarters in 1.19, but soon
after he went a half in 80 seconds.
Gideon has two good colts in Requital
and Hazlet. and Griffin will probably ride
the former. He was sent six furlongs
yesterday in LA "a, going easily, while
Hazlel covered the distance in a little
under 1.16. There is much talk at the
tracks about Requtal, and he Is looked
upon as the most promising of the lot.
Iaral thinks he could win with him. Haz-
let Is by no means an impossbility. but he
seems now to be a little short of the stand
ara required for a Futurity winner this
year, when the class of entries is SO high.
Crescerdo was sent out yesterday, but
could only do 1.16 for six furlongs, and
was distressed a the end.
lMr. Morris stable will probably start
1ntermission and Formal, with Littlefield
on the former and Penn on the latter
A. f. Wolcottis Palmerston is ready,
and has shown good enough work to war
rant his owner sending him to the post, so
he may be counted upon likely starter.
Mr. Bonner may start his Pontiac-Girofe
maiden Bonhomme, in which case Doggett
will be unable to ride Axiom Nemrod
will go in all probability, and Perjury is
doubtful.
Other doubtful ones are Beau Ideal II,
Dansel and Radnor. Hamilton l and Sill
Yer II will be tried today, and upon the
results depends the starting of one or two.
Mormon and Bonaparte will probably go
to the post, and st. Agnes may be sent out
as well. The only representative of the
keene people is Peter O'Day, and, of
course, Taral will ride He has not shown
Futurity form, however.
This makes the likely starters eighteen
with possibility of few more.
