CLAIM FOR S1,7oO,O0O.
Armour & Co. Alleged to Have Vio-

ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 1S.-The appellate
division of the Supreme Court has decided
in favor of the State in the action brought
against Armour & Co. and the Armour
Packing Company for alleged violation Of
the oleomargarine and butterine law. The
claim is for 81 100000 in penalties, and the
decision to-day was for order to show
cause why seven orders obtained by the
State directing railroad officials to produce
their books before q referee should not be
vacated. The State claimed that the books
of the four big railroad corporations of this
State show shipments of butterine and other
facts which they are anxious to get at. The
court in sustaining them aids in the prose-
cution of the original action.

ELEOREE WON EASILY
CAPTURED THE 2:I1 TROT AT LOUIS
VILE IN STRAIGHT HEATS.
2:O7 Pace Taken by Heir-at-Lnvv in
Fast Time, and the 2:1S TrOt by
Curta After Losing a Heat.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 1S.-The Louis
vile Driving and Fair Association had a
most suspicious opening this afternoon in
it's third annual fall meet. characterized
by almost perfect weather. and an attrac-
tive card including the best horses in their
respective classes, to-day's meeting was one
of the best ever given by the association.
With a fast track, sunshine and bracing
atmosphere, the ten days meet was most
successfully begun. The quality of the en-
tries was above the average, while the
scratches were few, and many of the fin
ishes of the sensational kind. 1t is estimat-
ed that over eight thousand people passed
through the gates.
The opening event was the Oil class trot-
ting, in which there were three scratches,
leaving six to be sent away. Elloree was an
odds-on favorite, and her performance justi-
fled the confidence that the betting public
had placed in her. She never in trou-
BILE at any part of the journey in any of
the heats. In each she assumed command
after the word was given and each time
maintained it to the end at an even, steady
stride.
The second race, 2:07 pacing. was almost
a repetition of the first, although Heir-at-
law, another odds-on favorite, had little
trouble, when Lottie Lorraine showed the
first heat until within few feet Of the
wire, when the former showed his nose to
the front and took the heat. The remain
ing two were won handily.
There were eleven starters in the 2:18 trot-
ting event, which closed the days sport.
Ed Geers captured the first heat, with The
Abbott, and, after finishing second in the
second and third heats, was, distanced in
the fourth. Curta, the winner, finished
fourth in the first but won, the next three
in fighting finish. Summarizes:

if Mr.. Taber wants to star as he has wanted

he should not, because he happens to be

Therefore, the dramatic separation. In the

CoHDCEiathu u, ~ new war ElAys
NEW YORK, Oct 1S.-The production Of
Cumberland '61," a new romantic drama
by Franklin Fyles was made by Augustus
Pitou at the Fourteenth-street Theater to-
night. The theme of the play is the
vendetta as it still exists in the mountains
of the Cumberland region, giving rise to
frequent tragedies in real life. The time of
the action is the first year of the rebel
lion, but the war is only background for
romantic fiction based on fact. The senti-
mental story is the old one of love between
the son and the daughter of families sepa-
rated by a deadly feud, which has in the
past broken out frequently with loss of life,
and which reappears in the episodes that
constitute the movement of the piece. The
hrst act is at West Point in the summer of
1851, when the cadets of the graduating
class were making their choice of service
between the Union and Confederate armies.
The ensuing three acts are in the Cumber-
land mountains three months later, their
events being all within twelve hours. The
border line between Kentucky and Tennes-
see was then contested ground, and the in
habitants were divided against one anoth-
er in their allegiance to the North and
South. This political antagonism has been
awaited of by the author for the purpose of
his vendetta romance One of the scenes
requires a spectacular representation. 1t is
a view of pictureSquely bridged gorge in
fects calculated to make the scene impress
sive In a thrilling degree. In outlay of mon
ey the production excelS anything that Man.
ager Pitou has ever done In the cast are
Charles Craig, Edgar l.. Davenport, Lionel
Barrymore, John y. Kellerd, S. K. Chester,
Richard Malchein, Alvin Drehle, Richard
Webster, Florence Rockwell, Amelia Sum-
merville, Violet Black and Milly Sackett.
