Mr.. Warren Will CT No Money
From Mr.. HumsS.
Latt r Was Sued For Alternating Warren's
F,rmer Wife's Aft ctiCns.

The jury in the famous suit Of Alva
T. Warren VS.. Arthur Il. Humes brought
in n verdict in favor of the defendant. 1t
took about an hour aud half for the
members of the jury To reach conclu-
sion. There were the following special
findings i'm the case: The first was that
the defendant did not commit adultery
with the plaintiffs wife; the second that
tho defendant did not know Mrs. Warren
was the wife of the plaintiff the third
that Mrs. Warren did represent herself To
the defendant and other parties as a
single woman; the fourth that the plain
tiff did know the defendant called at his
home 20 see his wife.
This was the fourth trial of tho case
and the juries at the other trials found in
favor Of the plaintiff varying the damages
from Que cent To several hundred dollars.
IL was shown during the trial that Mrs.
Warren gave public readings during the
time of her marriage in which her name
was givon as Miss Warren and il was
alleged that the plaintiff at one time
spoke of her as his daughter.
The former partner OF Mr.. Warren on
account of whom he brought suit against
alienation of her affections has since
married u man who was q stranger to
her until long after she formed the ac-
quaintanco of Mr.. Humes, the defendant
in the present case.

WITH ASSASSINATION.
Speaker Read aud Mr.. Dingley
Threatened by Letters.
Matters Called to Attention of Police
by the Speakers Secretary.

Washington, Juno Q. 2.-Speaker Reed,
like every other public man In nigh
official station, has received threatening
letters from time TO time, but has never
paid any attention TO them. Yesterday,
however, one was received of such a
nature that 10 seemed TO command more
than ordinary attention and the speaker S
private secretary, without Mr.. Heed $
knowledge, deemed 10 his duty to turn 10
over TO the proper authorities for investi-
CATION and that precautions might be
taken TO prevent possible catastrophe.
The letter was mailed In Washington. It
stated that 1.-THE one man power" must
stop and threatened both the speaker and
Mr.. DiDgley with assassination. 1t WAS
signed "A Cuban" 1t was not this
letter which created the alarm, IL was the
fact that 10 was the last Of series Of
letters written on the same paper in the
same handwriting, and of the same
general tenor. The others had been
mailed from New York. This one
showed that the writer had come TO
Washington and the possibility that he
might carry out his threat lead the speak
er's secretary, Mr.. Allen, To notify SER
geant-at-Arms Russell. The latter imme-
diatsly communicated with Inspector of
Police Holliberger and after some inves-
tigation both he and the sergeant-at-arms
came To the conclusion that the letters
had not been written by crank, but by
some one deslrous Of perpetrating hoax
for sensational purposes. Subsequent In
vestigation, it H. said, convinced the police
OF tho correctness of the theory and be-
fore night 10 is believed the writer will
be under arrest.

Came in at CanterTwOL Lengths
Ahead of ValeSQueZ.
The Crowd Was Not OF the Immense
Proportions Expected.

Epsom Eng, June 2. 1t was predicted
that the crowd which would be present
at the Jubilee Derby. as tho race for the
Derby stakes this year has been termed.
would eclipse all records in point OF
numbers but these expectations were not
realized. The weather. in the first
place, was not the kind TO attract large
crowds of people to "a race course. lho
sky was of dull, threatening gray ana
the atmosphere was heavy ana damp.
Then the fact that the race was regarded
as being certainty for Mr.. j. Gubbins
brown colt, Galtee More, doubtlessly Kept
many people away. However, in spite OF
these draw backs the scene before the rae
ing began was the same as usuai on
Derby day. The royal standard was
hoisted at 1890 p. m., announcing the
arrival of the Prince Of Wales and his
party in the royal enclosure.
The Prince Of Wales party, which ar
rived at EPSON by train from Victoria
station, included tho Princess of Wales
and her daughters, the Princess Victoria
OF Wales and Princess Charles of Den
mark, the Duke and Duchess of York, the
Duke of Cambridge, Prince Charles of
Denmark, the Duke and Duchess Of Dew
onshire, the Duke and Duchess OF Port
land, the Marquis and Marchioness Of
Londonderry, Earl and Countess Cadogna,
officers
MIR. J. II. Keene's ST. Cloud III made
its first appearance today on an English
race course, but was not placed.
The race for the Derby stakes Is for
three -year-o horses, colts To carry 126
pounds and fillies l2l pounds, the nomi-
nator Of the winner TO receive 800 sovcr-
eigns out OF the stakes which are Of 600
sovereigns. the owner Of the second horse
TO receive 300 sovereigns and the owner Of
the third horse TO receive 200 sovereigns
out of the stakes. The course was about
one mile and "A half long. The result was
in detail as follows:
Mr.. j. Gubbins, Br. Galtee More !.
Lord Roseberry's b. g. Velasquez by
Donovan, out of Vista, 2
Mr.. j. Simon Harrison's B. c.. His

the hill, when Oakdale drew front, fol-
lowed by Galtee More. After crossing
the road tho favorite assumed the lead
and won in "A canter by two lengths
1t was anticipated that Valasquez would
get second place. The rest OF the starters
were generally considered n poor lot and
far below the usual Derby form. The
result showed the accuracy Of the judg-
mont Of the sporting prophets. The time
was 2. A.
Mr. j. r. Keene's St Cloud III. which was
ridden by Bradford, started with the bet
| ting 100 to l against him. A striking fea-
| ture of the day was the large number OF
Irish people who came over TO see Galtee
More run. The Irish boats during the past
few days have been overorowded with
racing enthusiasts from the Emerald Isle.
