For the benefit of those interested in trotting race that do not understand the rules for keeping position, we shall print Section 9 and 10 of Rule %, to ex- plain to them:
 Section g.: Although & leading horse is entitled to any part of the track, except after selecting his position on the home stretch, he shall not change either to the right or left during any part of the race when another horse is so near him that in altering his position he compels the horse behind him to shorten his stride or causes the rider or driver of such other horse to pull him out of his stride; neith- CT shall any horse, rider or driver cross, jostle or strike another horse, rider or driver nor swerve or carry him out, sit down in front of him or do any other act which constitutes what is popularly known as helping, or which shall impede the progress of another horse.
 Section 10: In any heat wherein there shall be violation of any of these restric, tions the offending horse shall not be en- titled to win the heat and he shall be placed lind all the unoffending horses in that heat.

AN ADMIRER OF STANTON MULLEE's VERSES.
 We cannot refrain from calling atten
 tion to the fine poetical contribution oi Stanton Mullee, for the last weeks BEE The first four verses are especially musical, and any one who has viewed Mount Pisgah, even once, must be well pleased with the sweet description. We have often looked for further efforts of another occasional contribution of verse to THE BEE. E. L. Johnson, whose verse on spring few years ago, were very beauti. uI. One often tires of the authors whose names are paraded as contributors to our magazine" or papers, because their thames are great, but they often run "emptyings."
 MONUMENT FOR GOV MORRIS GRAVE.
 An attempt to move granite rock to Botsford and New Haven, has caused much excitement here for several days past. Oxen and horses were almost futile in their attempts to draw 8 rock weighing II tons. Four and one-half inch tires, on our narrow roads, could not stand the pressure and the beautiful old boulder that our late Gov L. B. Morris wanted for his monument is to be moved upon blanks and rollers. This rock was favorite resting place for "Lou," when boy on the "Old Homestead" Charles Warner says he could move it to Botsford for $50, on timbers in good sledding. The price for delivery of this rock to Botstordi is $500 and as wheels are now given up for blanks and rollers, 1t will probably take two weeks at least to get it there with the thew road" blockaded in the mean time. But "Marble monuments will all decay" Shakespeare says, and so will granite rocks. Some rustic here was so irreverant as to remark that it would be cheaper to place the remains by the rock as it has lain for ages than to remove the rock to the body. The huge boulder is now near the residence W. J. Thicket and it's centripetal force holds it there at great expense.

GENERAL NEAL DOW DEAD.
Before He Died, Made Arrangements
For His Funeral.

Portland, Me, Oct. General Neal
Dow died at his residence in this city
at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon. The end
was quiet and he retained consciousness
until an hour before he died, reeogniz-
ing his children, who were gathered
about his bedside. General BOWS
death was due to the infirmities of old
age. A week ago today he was obliged
to take his bed His mind was still
clear, however, and only a few days
ago he called for the daily papers and
read portions of them. His great weak
ness made talking difficult, but the lit
tie he could say and the gestures with
which he made his meaning palmer
made it clear that he knew those about
him and that he was aware that the
end was approaching Once he said he
was very weary and was eager for the
moment of his release. Last night he
said TO his nurse: This is the end, and
it is all right
At another time he referred to his flu
neral and mentioned the names of sew
eral of the Portland clergy whom he
wished to be asked to participate in the
service. He also indicated his desire
that the arrangements should be sim
pie.
General Dow's death has been expect
ed al any time for a week or more. and
this evening it became evident that he
had sunk into q state of weakness from
which he could not rally. Early in the
afternoon he lost consciousness and an
hour later passed away. a large num-
Der of messages of coincidence from va
rious parts of the country have been
received.

MI a r O O ~ . D!

Captain General weyler will be able
to prove that in the provinces of Ha-
vana, Matan2as and Pinar del Rio the
rebellion is under control. So that it
would be because of political circum-
stances for which he is entirely ire
sponsible that he might feel obliged to
ask his recall, not considering himself
backed I'D at home with the moral
force necessary to continue the com
mand Of the army in Cuba.
THE ADVANTAGE or disadvantage of
such a course will lie exclusively at the
door of the Liberal party. This is the
question of the hour and perhaps for
the first time. Senior Segasta has made
a mistake sandAgiven a chance to his
adversary to rout him by making it
impossible for him to form a durable
cabinet"

THE RECALL OF wEYLER.
It Will Place Senior sagasta in a
Peculiar Position.

Havana, Oct. Ell Pals, the organ of
the autonimist party, commenting edi-
torially on the Spanish cabinet crisis,
says: "There are powerful reasons
why we advise the continuance of the
Conservatives in control of the govern
ment as to avoid the prejudice and
danger which might be occasioned by
a violent transition in the abnormal
circumstances of the present political
and military problem in Cuba. The ne
gotiations with the United States have
arrived at a stage which does not adj
nit of a violent interruption or q radi-
cal reversal
La Lucia says; "The Liberals dur
ing the last political campaign went
further than prudence advised and
compromised more than they thought.
Their demands for the recall of Captain
General Weyler place Senior Segasta in
a difficult situation when the captain
general has asked for two years time
90 put down the revolution. Now, after
what has happened, viii they still ask
for his recall? The general in chief
cannot resign in war time. Moreover,

Houses Burned in Ohio.

Chicago Junction, O., Oct. 2.-One of
the most destructive fires in the his
tory of this section OF the country is
now prevailing in the New Haven
marsh. one and one-half miles south
of this place. The ground is covered
with dry weeds and rotten vegetation
and is easily ignited. The fire was
caused by the burning of brush heap
by a farmer and has been burning for
nearly a week. Today 1000 acres of
the tract of 5000 acres is a smoking
mass. Two houses have been burned
and nearly a dozen more are in dam
ger. All the inhabitants are prepared
to move on short notice, as the fire is
burning everything in its path. Several
large fields of corn, potatoes and cab
bage belonging to the Hollanders' gar
denS have already been burned.

Railroad Property Destroyed.

St. Paul. Oct. "A Little Falls
(Minn.) special to the Dispatch says:
A destructive fire visited this place
early today, the old Northern Pacific
depot, a dozen loaded freight cars and
a. number Of small buildings being con-
sumed. The origin of the fire is I'M
known, but tramps are suspected. An
explosion of gasoline kept back the fire
fighters and it was impossible to save
anything stored in the depot. The loss
is placed at not less than $4,000.
Prompt action in pulling out over 100
cars that had caught fire was all that
prevented loss of double that amount.
Valuable records were also destroyed.
Insurance, $4,000
