Many changes in the rules Of the

needed by the congress. some i'm
portant amendments to the existing
turf code will he made One of The
things on which the owners and driv-
ers seem to be united is a provision
in the rules holding track managers to
their obligations in the same way that
men who enter horses are now held.
If the Horse owner fails to pay his en-
trance fees, he and his trotter are i'm
mediateIy suspended from all trottlng
tracks in membership with the \. T.
A.. and the suspension follows the
trotter into the hands OF all subse-
quent owners. An association, on the
other hand may default in the pay
ment of its purses, and unless II owns
the track on which the meeting IS
held, the rules afford no adequate rem

get the money he has won. The track
cannot be suspended, and recognizing

MET DEATH GAMELY.
Julius Mannow Hanged at Chicago For the
Murder of Carey II. Birch.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Julius Mannow
was hanged at noon yesterday for the
murder of Carey B. Birch. The con-
demned man showed great nervousness
during the night, but walked to the gal
lows and met death gamely. From the
gallows he declared that his statement
made Thursday was true. Mannow
was pronounced dead 10 minutes after
the drop fell.
On the night of June %, 1895, Man
now and Joseph Windrath, both wear
ing masks, entered the West Chicago
street railway barns and demanded of
the cashier, G. B. Birch, the money in
his charge Birch reached for revol-
yer when Windrath fired four shots and
Mannow one with fatal effect. Selling
$3.50 in currency the murderers escaped,
but were later arrested on information
given by woman who lived in the
same house with them and had over
heard the men plotting.
The trial of Windrath and Mannow
was most exciting, several plots for
their liberation being taken to prevent
the success of these schemes. Mannow
at length pleaded guilty and made q
full confession, and on his evidence
both men were convicted. Windrath
was hanged last June, but sentence on
Mannow was deferred. When latter
he was sentenced he feigned insanity
and secured reprieve, but his sanity
being determined, he was finally
doomed to die yesterday.
Mannow Thursday made confession
in which he stated that Windrath was
innocent

DECATUR, Ind, Oct. 3l.--A cutting

wives of two well known business men
participated. While Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Chronister were ON their way to
church they were attacked by Mrs. NJ.
Buhler, wife of the proprietor Of the
city roller mills, who accused Mrs.
Chronister of alternating the affections
of her husband, and at once began to
carve the woman. Mr.. Chronister, in
his efforts to protect his wife, was also
severely cut and it is thought that
neither can live.
