ANOTHER PACING MARK.
Joe Patchen Lowers stallion Record
TO 2.O3 Flat.

Joe Patchen Lowers stallion Record
TO 2:O3 Flat.
! RIGBY PARK CNe.), August 21.-The
I famous pacing stallion Joe Patchen,
cut the worlds stallion pacing record
quarter of a second, going the mile
in 2:03 fiat on the Rigby track to-day.
Two of the judges watches showed the
time to be one-ffth of a second less
than 2:O3.
1t was not very favorable day for
going against records, as a srong west
erly wind was blowing when the racing
began After a mile of warming up
work the black stallion was started
down the track by Curry at a lively
clip, with a runner, known as Little
Friend" driven by Charles O'Brien.
A strong head wind was blowing. The
judges caught the quarter at 0:3014, and
with the ,wind at his back the famous
stallion rolled off the second quarter in
0:291@ The half was made in 100. On
the third quarter the time was 0:30H, at
a two-minute gait.
Joe Patchen gathered himself up for
the last quarter, but there he met the
strong wind again, against which he
slowed down bit, but crossed the wire
in O:3234. The announcement of the
mile in 2:03 fiat, One-quarter of a second
better than the worlds stallion pacing
record, held by John r. Gentry, set the
crowd wild. They lifted Curry, the
driver, out of the sulky, swarming from
the grand stand on to the track, and
cheered like wild men.
Joe Patchen on Wednesday went an
exhibition mile in 2:O334 and second
mile in 2:O4 The weather was more
favorable than it was to-day. His for
mer record was 2:04. He is seven years
old and is owned by Colonel John S.
Taylor of Chicago. He already holds
the worlds record on a half-mile track
of 2:O5H, made at Mystic Park last
week

Cruiser Imperiuse Has 81 Narrow Es-
cape from Serious Disaster.
VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 25.-The
northwest coast of this island appears
an unfortunate cruising ground for the
fiagships of her majesty's North Pacific
squadron. No fewer than three in sue
cession met with more or less serious
damage there. The Imperieuse, which
arrived only a few weeks ago from Eng
land, flying Admiral Palliser's flag, is
the latest of these, and the extent CT her
misfortune cannot be definitely deter
mined until she returns to EsquimaIt
The Imperieuse left last Friday on a
cruise intended to occupy ten days.
She had reached Nanoose bay, near Ma
naimo, Saturday, when dense fog
settled down, combining with feavy
bushfire smoke to make navigation ex-
tremely difficult. Under these conditions
the big cruiser came too close in shore
after passing Nanoose head, with the
result that she grazed a submerged
rock, or rather 'steeplechased" it, in
much the same way as the WarspIte did
when she was damaged to the extent of
$4,000.

followed the Turks were defeated, los
ing 80 killed and AZ wounded. The loss
of the Christians was smaller. The

forces, it is alleged, were driven from
three splendid positions on the Isabella,
Zaza and Arrastia plantations, and
finally dispersed.
The cavalry under Bermudez, and his
infantry, are said to have been COM
pleteIy demoralized by raking fire at
long range from the artillery of the
Spanish columns. In retreating, the
rebels abandoned fifteen dead on the
field. According to the official state
ment, none were killed on the Spanish
side.

Gold Bearing Quality of the Dirt.

years ago, while some work1nen were
removing the stump Of a very large
tree on the farm belonging to L. w.
Norris, about a mile northeast of town,
they founda small nugget of gold. No
great amount Of attention was paid to
this at the time, but when gold was
found at Milford it was discovered the
ground was of the same character. Mr..
Norris, who is a hardware merchant of
this city, determined to test for the
precious metal, and assays from both
Denver and Boston showed goldin pay
ing quantities. However, Mr.. Norris
is not satisfied with simply assaying it,
and is making a practical test. In the
vacant square opposite the city hall he
has caused a hundred foot sluice to be
erected and in a few days will be ready
for active work. He will use city water
and have fifty tons of the dirt hauled
in and run through the s%luices. AS
this is the first practical test the ex-
pertinent is looked upon with a great
deal of interest.

NEBRASKA CITY, Feb. "A few days
since while attorneys were making
argument before Judge Shiras at Lin
coin, to change the case of Nebraska
City against the Water and Light com
pay from the district court to the

S.. NJ. Chapman, in an affidavit, charged
that the mayor and certain council
men of this city entered into "a we'll
organized conspiracy to manufacture
public opinion against the plaintiff
and attempted to control afhant as
judge in the trial of said case" At the
regular meeting Of the city council
Tuesday night a resolution was passed
unanimously denouncing the state
ments in the afidavits as untrue and
malicious, having no foundation in fact
and a SANDER upon the fair name of
the city, it's officials and people. They
also call on Judge Chapman to name
the nan or men who entered into this
conspiracy and attempted to con
troll his actions as Judge in the trial of
the cause; also if he has evidence in his
possession to establish the existence of
a conspiracy to produce it and expose
the guilty parties. They also declare
that in the affidavit Judge Chapman
has shown prejudice against the city,
partially for the water company and
