ME l.. the Winners.

Fifteen hundred people attended the
races which were held at Howard PARK
Thursday and saw Jones Ordway pace "A
mile in 2;lG34, thereby lowering the track
record by second. This feat was accom-
plished in the 217 class pace. in which
there were four starters, the others being
Edison Alien, Helen NJ. and George Sher-
man. Just before the fast heat in this
race was called Bud Austin drove Edison
Allen on to the track and worked him a
fast mile, believing, as he said later that
q heat in another race was to be trotted
before his horse would be called Edison
Allen had scarcely time to breathe after
this performance before he was started
In the race. Had It not been for this cir
cumstance he would undoubtedly have
driven Jones Ordway out in 2I5. II was
apparent to the crowd from the very start
of the heat that a hard race was to be
driven. The first quarter was made in 81

in the 2:50 Glass for PAGERS and the
2:1S Glass FOR Trotters-Nilo Grafton
the Hero of the Day.

A brave deed was performed Friday
at Howard Park by Milo G. Grafton. As
the horses were scoring for the first heat
of the 200 class pace, Lady I.andon
reared and the bike wheels ran under her,
throwing Mike Doyle, the driver The
mare started off on the run as soon as
her forward legs struck the ground. Sew
cral stable boys who We're standing near
the entrance to the track. where the acct
dent occurred ran out and attempted to
catch her. She lodged them, however,
and started around the track at full speed,
her fright being increased by hat, which
somebody had thrown at her In the excite
ment. She was running in the opposite
direction to that taken by the horses while
racing. The other drivers drove into the
paddock so as to leave the track clear.
Meantime the spectators in the grand
stand began to shout and a panic was
only averted through Starter Brownell' 8
presence of mind. In stentorian tones he
commanded the crowd to keep quiet, tell
ing them the mare would stop Of her own
accord unless they frightened her further
by their cries. Meantime Milo Grafton
stepped out quietly in front of the judges
stand and waited for Lady Landon to
come. He had not long to wait for she
soon turned the corner and came down
toward the judges stand Just as she
reached it Milo sprang forward with a
desperate leap and seized the rein firmly
near the bit. The mare struggled, but he
stopped her inside of 20 feet from the point
where he caught her. In doing this his
check was cut slightly. Cheer after cheer
went up from the grand stand and the
applause with which Grafton was greeted
furnished another illustration of the popu-
lar appreciation of a brave act. The mare
was turned over to Doyle and started in
the race. The excitement had upset her

A SPARKLING INDUSTRY.
drrom the Chicago Dispatch3

1t is well known that America is the
greatest absorption market for diamonds.
The total annual output is about $4,000
600 worth, almost entirely, according to
the outlook in cut stones. The diamond
cutting industry, however has never
fourishod i'm this country to any remark
able extent, while in Antwerp there are
1900 persons engaged in cutting stones
and 5000 others directly connected with
the trade In America up to last year
only forty 1--WE diamond cutters were
known to be at work, and they were
chiefly employed in recruiting old stones.
At the present time there are probably
300 or more cutters in the United States.
and they are for the most part employed
in cutting rough stones. II is expected
that by next summer this number will be
at least doubled. The increase is due to
the fact that in the last tariff bill the i'm
port duty on cut diamonds was increased
from 10 to % per cent, and duty was also
put on rough diamonds, which were for
merly on the free list.

POUR OH. ON THE TROUBLED MOS
QUITOES.

A seasonable recipe for getting rid Of
mosquitoes is given by a writer in the
Philadelphia Times.
A practical way to get rid of mosquitoes
is to pour oil on the surface of waters
where they are propagated. A small guam
tity of kerosene employed in this manner
will 90 a long way
If there is stagnant pond or overlooked
marsh in your vicinity. you cannot invest
money more protitably this summer than
to buy some kerosene and apply it.
The process is very simple. the oil
spreading itself far and wide in an ex-
tremely thin film. Five gallons costing
60 cents, will cover 10000 square feet.
A single application will suffice for the
season and will absolutely prevent the pro-
duction of mosquitoes over the area treat
ed.
The coating of oil quickly suffocates and
kills all wrigglers.

Sudden Death of Peter Geib.

\ Freeport paper, Of last week, con-
tanned the following particulars Of the
death of Peter Geib. formerly of this
city:
The last seen Of Mr.. Geib was when
the train was going onto the bridge at
Clinton. The conductor missed him
almost immediately after leaving Full
ton and started over the train TO look
for him. Not finding him the con-
ductor telegraphed to have searching
parties started from Fulton and Clin-
ton, which was done at once, but moth
ing could be found of him, so they
came to the conclusion that he must
have fallen through the bridge into
the river A searching party was soon
organized and found him lying on a
raft, in the river, dead, his head being
in the water. His head and side of
his face were badly cut, probably from
striking the bridge in falling
through. The remains were taken to
Clinton where an inquest was held,
He leaves a wife and three children,
No explanation is given as to the
falling. 1t is sad affair"
