T.Dick Egan" and Todd Crook" the
winners at ThunderbOIt.

u
An enthusiastic crowd of spectators
was at Thunderbolt yesterday afternoon
to witness the deciding heats in the two
harness races that were unfinished on
New Years day. The weather was a lit
tie too cold for racing. but the track was
in splendid condition and good time was
made in both events.
The 2:25 class was first called and three
of the entries came to the post to score
down for the deciding heat The gray
PAGER, Dick Eagan, was an easy winner,
and stepped the mile in 2:S01a, with Pan
cost second and Barney third.
The free-for-all race was a very inter-
esting and exciting contest, and the spec
tators saw three of the fastest heats ever
paced or trotted by harness horse over
the Thunderbolt track. When the four
candidates scored down for the fourth
heat. Todd Crook was a favorite in the
betting, and he did not disappoint his
and established a new record for the track
The time made by the fast western PAGER
was 2:231a, 2:24 and 2:25h.
The sixth heat in this contest was close
and exciting. The three PAGERS, Todd
Crook, Palmetto Prince and Rushmont
were together the entire distance and
made a beautiful race of it.
Todd Crook the winner, is the famous
western PAGER recently purchased by Mr.
Charles E. Stults. He was driven by
Curley Hudson. The Wallace record book
of 1895 shows where Todd Crook has a
mark OF 2:14A Many of the horsemen
who saw him win yesterday feel satisfied
that he can pace any good track in 2.10 or
better.

pAvEMENTs BADLY BROKEN.
Asphalt Company Finds IT Has No
Snap In Its Repair Contract.

Asphalt Company Finds 1t Has No
snap In It's Repair Contract.
The Warren-Scharf Asphalt Company,
which was awarded the contract for main
tanning all the asphalt streets of the city
at the rate of cents per square yard per
annum, finds it has no snap.
When Commissioner of Public Works
Willink learned that such a contract was
to be awarded, he ceased making repairs
on the asphalt streets at the rate of $245
per square yard, the price then paid by the
city After the awarding of the con-
tract sometime was spent in placing the
eompanys plant here in good condition
and more time was lost in awaiting the
arrival of material, so that when the COM
pany began its repair work recently it
found 4e asphalt streets in generally
run down condition They are now being
put in frst-class condition as rapidly as
possible
the asphalt streets was made the cost to
the city was $2,700. This did not include
the portion of Broughton street from
Abercorn to West Broad, which was al
ready under contract and other paving up
on which the company's contract had not
expired. 1t is estimated that the repairs
now being made by the company under
its old contract would have cost the city
under it's former agreement between $1,000
and S4.O 600.

GOT OFF WITH MANSLAUGHTER.
John Perkins, Who Shot sam Glib
son, Given Fifteen Years.

John Perkins, Who Shot sam Glib
son, Given Fifteen Years.
John Perkins, who shot and killed Sam
night, was put on trial for his life in the
superior court yesterday.
The evidence developed a somewhat diff
ferent state of facts than that which came
out at the coroner's inquest, to which
was due the fact that Perkins got off with
conviction of voluntary manslaughter,
upon which Judge Falligant sentenced
him to spend fifteen years in the peni-
tertiary.
1t seems the killing was not so much of
cold-blooded murder as was at first
made to appear Gibson and Perkins had
had a difficulty before this time, in which
the deceased assaulted the defendant.
There were witnesses who swore on the
trial yesterday that Gibson had a pistol
in his pocket at the time of the shooting,
and that he had it halfway out when the
fatal shot was fired. 1t was also stated
long open knife was found in Gibsons
pocket Taking all the testimony into
consideration the jury decided it did not
make out more than a case of man
slaughter, and so they found it. Perkins
was defended by T. L. Hill, Esq.
There were two other criminal cases
tried. Tommie Johnson. charged with the
burglary of the house of Aaron Palmer,
Dec %, from which it was claimed he
took SIS in money, was acquitted. He
was defended by Mr.. w. H. Boyd.
The same result was reached in the. case
of Andrew Wright, charged with assault
with intent to murder Daniel Tyler,
Wright being acquitted. He was defend
ed by Mr.. William Pease.
The trial of A. L. Pitts for the murder
of Adam A. Thornburg is assigned for to-
day, but it was not known last night
whether it would come up or not, owing
to the indisposition of Mr.. T. S. Morgan,
Jr., the defendants counsel. In case he is
not well enough to try the case the court
will take UP other criminal matters.

LEFT HIS DEBTS BEHIND.
G. A. Bruning's Sudden Departure
for Missouri.

Tor MISSOURI.
The little store al the corner OF Wa!d-
burg and West Broad streets did not
'open it's doors to possible purchasers yes
terday morning. G. A. Bruning, it's erst-
while proprietor, is supposed to be on his
way to st. Louis. He left night before
last after closing time, taking his wife
and some of his effects with him.
Bruning had been in financial straits
for some time, and his fight in quest of
st. Louis citizenship is the elimination
of troubles growing out of his monetary
obligations.
1t is said a good many mourners are
left to lament the exodus of the house
of Bruning, and some of them are seek
ing means of recovering all or a portion
of what they are out by the operations of
it's head. Mr.. James S. Silva took
out an attachment in Justice
Naughtin's court yesterday to cover an
account of $25. The levy was made on
Bruning's furniture, some of which was
found at the Central railroad depot, pack
ed for shipping, and the rest tie A. S. Grif-
fins place. That at the depot had been
marked and billed to A. S. Griffin, ST.
Louis, Mo. a feature of the case that
seems rather inexplicable. 1t is supposed
Bruning requested him to ship the goods
to that address to throw any Investigators
of his movements off the track, but why
he wanted the name of the consgnor
made that of the consignee as we'll is a
bit strange.
A portion of the furniture and household
effects is now stored at Justice Naughtin's
| court room.
! Another feature of the case may yet de-
velop. 1t was learned that a homestead,
in the name of Bruning's wife, covers the
goods. The stock of groceries that Brun-
| ing left behind is covered by a mortgage
| for upwards of $500, held by
| Mr.. William Diers. 1t is
thought that amount will be readily re-
1 allied on the stock.
/ Bruning's place was closed up about a
! year ago on a mortgage, but an arrange
ment was made by which he resumed bus
mess. He evidently found it impossible to
! longer stave off the inevitable, and his
! sudden departure resulted.
A number of attachments will proba-
| bly, be issued, as the furniture is await
ing some disposition. If the homestead
| claim is advanced, there win probably be
some uncertainty as to the course affairs
| win take.
