JAsEz eALFouR IN JAIL IN LONDON
Extraordinary Precautions Arc Taken TO
Guard the EmbezzIcr


Guard the Embezzler.
London, May 6.-Extraordinary scenes
were witnessed and precautions of an
extraordinary nature were taken upon
the arrival at Southampton last night
from Buenos Ayres of Jabez Spencer
Balfour, ex-member of parliament. ex-
tradited from the Argentine republic,
and charged with fraud in connection
with the collapse f.the Liberator Build
ing Society and other concerns. The
steamer was met off Calshot castle by
a police tug, upon which Balfour was
taken ashore, surrounded by a crowd
of detectives and policemen in uniforms.
Balfour and his escort left the train at
Vauxhall railroad station and were
driven to Bow street police court. In
spite of the precautions the news of
Balfours arrival quickly spread and
the carriage In which he was placed
was followed by a crowd who shouted
Here's Jabez," etc. During the Voy-
age from Buenos Ayres it appears that
Balfour was generally cheerful. but at
last he broke down and wept bitterly.
The proceedings at the Bow street sta
ton were of the usual character. The
prisoner was formally charged and re-
manded until May s to enable the prose-
cution to complete its case against him.

by the state included some Of the most
valuable lands in South Dakota. The
reserve was to have been opened for set

y. =. Clark n Co. OF Minneapolis Close
the Doors OF Their House.
Minneapolis, May 6.-The lumber and
banking firm of N. p. Clark e Co. of
st. Cloud, Mimi, and Minneapolis, filed
an assignment at st. Cloud Saturday
to Lucas Kelly. the Sank Centre bank
er. The fact was kept secret until to-
day. Deposits in the bank at st. Cloud
amounted to $125,O00 and the amounts
due other local creditors makes total
of 100000 or Sl75,00O. During the past
week a hundred or more deeds and
mortgages have been recorded in St.
Cloud as securities to depositors and
private creditors. There is a doubt in
legal circles whether these transactions
will hold.
The liabilities will not exceed half a
million and the assets are variously es-
timated as high as million and half.
but owing to recent transfers $1,000, 900
is probably nearer the figure. N. p.
Clark did not make a personal assign
ment. He practically entrusted the
whole business Of the firm to his
nephew. Fred II. Clark. There is a ru-
NOR that the failure was due to flyers
in wheat and corn. +. II. Clark denied
this emphatically.

one Rounds.

Louisville, May 6.-Fair ladies waved
their handkerchiefs and sturdy men
Joined in the lusty cheer that greeted
the son of a great sire when Halma
passed under the wire winner of the
21st Kentucky derby this afternoon.
Such rejuvenated activity and en-
thusiasm was never before witnessed
I'm a race course, for the historic
Churchill Downs presented a scene that
will go down to pOsterity. The Ken
lucky derby is an event to which all
Kentuckians look forward to with a
just pride and this afternoon the new
Louisville Jockey Club established
new era In the history of racing in
Kentucky, the home Of the thorough
bred.
1t will never be known just how many
pairs of eyes centered upon little Soup"
Perkins, as he guided Halma under the
wire an easy winner, but the most con-
servative place the number at $4,000.
At the downs there was a scene never
before witnessed in the history of that
grand old course. The magnificent new
grand stand, which has a seating capa-
city of nearly 10000, was inadequate to
hold the vast throng. Every place Of
vantage was occupied. Men jostled
against each other and essayed to elbow
their way through the throng in the
effort to place their money, but the 10
bookies who were there 20 accommodate
the public could not handle the money
Halma won the derby as he pleased
and not once did Perkins find it neces-
sary to use the rawhide, for the colt as
sumed the lead from the very fall of
the flag and set the pace to the finish.
When he passed the stand for the last
time there were four good lengths Of
daylight between the son of Hanover
and the hard-ridden Basso, who was
second Halmas odds were to l to
win and to 8 for the place.
They lined up and at the first attempt
We're sent away well punched, with
Halma showing in front by a neck,
Basso second, Laureate third and Cure
ator last. There was not a lengths diff
ference, however, between the four
horses. At the half Halma led by a
neck, with Laureate second and Cure
ator third. Halma and Laureate went
neck and neck around the lower turn
and at the three-quarters Halma led
by a neck. At the finish Halma showed
in front by four lengths, with Basso
second and Laureate third by the same
distance, and Cureator last by five
lengths.
The Kentucky derby, for 3-year-olds,
colts and FLIES, closed with seven NOM
nations; stake worth $1,000; one mile
and half. Byron McClelland's black
colt Halma, by Hanover and Julia L.,
won. Basso second, Laureate third

The baltimore Ph1. .st Lasted twenty
One Rounds.
Coney Island, May 6.-The fact that
Jake Kilrain and Steve O'Donnell were
to meet here tonight at catch-weights
in a 25-round so, attracted a large crowd
of sports. Young Corbett of San Fran
cisco and Jim Holmes of New York
met at 1876 pounds for eight rounds.
Young Corbett showed himself clever,
but his blows lacked steam. He was
knocked down in the third round and
Holmes fell over him. Corbett led in
the fifth and sixth, and in the latter he
smashed Holmes right and left on the
body and face at will. Holmes was
very groggy. He stopped after Corbett
had smashed him twice in the face
and Corbett was announced the win
ner.
The event of the evening was then in
order. There were about 5000 in the
house when the announcer gave out the
names of the seconds. Champion Cor
bett was not in the house. O'Donnell
climbed through the ropes at $3.50. Kill
rain arrived a minute later, and in
comparison with his tall opponent. he
looked an elephant. ODonnell s weight
was said to be $50 pounds and Rilrain's
80 pounds more. The men shook hands
and Kilrain looked very beefy when
stripped.
FIGHT BY ROUNDS.
In the first round both men spared
carefully for a minute. Kilrain led his
left on the neck and O'Donnell went to
his knees. O'Donnell jabbed Kilrain on
the chest. Kilrain punched his left in
to O'Donnelrs chin and got away from
a swing. He repeated this a minute
later.
In round 2. O'Donnell led his left, but
failed, and Kilrain sent his left in once
more on the chin. ODonnell put his
left on the nose three times. Kilrain
landed his left on the neck and chin
O'Donnell led his left, but Kilrain threw
it off. AS the gong sounded Kilrair
landed on the chest with straight left
In rounds 3 to things were lively and
honors evenly divided.
In the eighth Kilrain stopped a hoi
one with his nose and it bled. In the
ninth ODonnell smashed Kilrain on the
cheek twice without a return and they
clinched. In the 14th O'Donnell jabbeC
Kilrain three times in the wind, and
Kilrain was badly winded. The 18th
was all O'Donnelrs. In the 18th O'Don.
nell slapped Kilrains face and after g
light interchange he put his right heav
lily on Kilrain's jaw. Kilrain tapped hin
on he neck, and while O'Donnell kept g
tattoo on the face with his left, h'
placed his right frequently on the ribs
and stomach.
The 18th and 18th were all O'Donnelrs
