Yesterdays Races

st. Louis, August 26.-Five favorites
captured all but one Of the events at
the fair grounds today. Senator O'Bri-
ems Empress Josephine, in the fifth
race, was the only favorite defeated.
All the winners were heavily played.
Weather hot; track fast and attend
ance good.
Cincinnati, August 26.-Joe Hill
landed three winners at Newport to-
day. One OF them was at 10 to 1. In the
opening race seventeen maidens went
to the post. After a short delay,
Starter Brown sent them away heads
apart, this being the best start ever
seen IN the local tracks. The weather
was fine and the track fast. Corvallis, a
bay filly by IrOquois-Gracie j., was
today purchased by Ed. Trotter, from
Rome Respess for 5000.
New York, August 26.-At Sleeps

venged himself to some extent for his
losses Of Tuesday by heavily backing
his horse BeImar, to win the third race
and he won handsomely. Belmar was
h favorite and in the break, got none
the best of it. Cavalero was well in
front as the flag fell, and ran at the
head Of the lot up to the last furlong,
when Sloan, who a driven Belmar
all around the field, challenged and in
a hard drive won by a neck from the
westerner, Cavalero.

no Opposition: but the Allegheny county

washington, ID. c.. August 1-Pressdent
Gompers, OF the American Federation OF
Labor, gave his view OF the present coal
strike situation to the Associated Press
today az follows:
The situation as I gather IL from the
representatives Of our organizers indicates
that between 80 and S. per cent OF the
mines in West Virginia are now closed
down completely. A letter I have just re-
ceived from the Cooper n P~ocahontas
district is trimming with confidence and
says the work In that region has been
reduced one-half in the last fortnight.
and predicts a general collapse there very
soon. So long as the West Virginia
miners continued operations there was. OF
course. little hope of an absolute victory
for the miners. because West Virginia
could supply the urgent needs OF the
market: but with suspension In West
Virginia becoming general II the miners IN
the states OF Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois
and Indiana keep the ranks unbroken. a.
I am confident they will. the strike must
result in an absolute victory Tor the men
Before September 18th. the lake trade
must be supplied. The situation becomes
daily more acute and while I hesitate to
fix a day I believe that the strike will be
terminated by the end of September. and
that the settlement will be In favor Of the
miners"
When Mr.. Gompers' attention was call
ed to the great restitution and suffering
among the strikers. he said that the Goa
operators had taught the miners how tc
suffer. They had been drilled in hardship
by the operators. They would continue
to endure their trials a little longer In
the hope Of relieving their %tuatio per
manently in the future.

A Boom iACorn

New York, August 26.-The specula-
tive attraction in grain circles today
was the corn market. The ring was
surrounded from start to finish by a
large crowd of brokers, most of whom
We're bulls and had buying orders
which sent the total of today's business
up to SS0,00O bushels. A tip had beer
given out h corn was good for a big
rise in the next few weeks and the in
vestment buying on this and other in
1uences was a feature Of the day. Many
OF the biggest operators are now in
terested in corn. Word came from
Chicago that the corn ring there would
not hold the crowd of traders who
were trying to execute orders. The
country is interested in the predicted
boom and bought freely today. When
wheat sold on in the afternoon corr
broke loose from it's higher priced
companion and had q little bulge on fts
own hook. Crop news is Enthusiastically
gloomy. The frost aso is near al
hand and from all accounts the grain
is 81 far behind its average growth
at this time of the year that even with
b most favorable weather from now
on. it will enter the danger period at a
disadvantage.

Ocean City, Nd, August 26.-By. a
vote of 81 to Sc, the delegates to the
republican state convention today re-
fused to endorse Senator George L.
Wellington and his views as to the
leadership of the party in Maryland.
The clash betwee the opposing fac
lions began almost with the fall of the
gavel which called the convention to
Order.
Senator Wellington, as chairman of
the state central committee, took his
place on the rOstrum at 1885 o'clock.
When the applause which greeted him
a subsidized he addressed the dele
gates and spectators justifying his

After the appointment of committees
on credentials, resolutions and perma-
nent organization, the convention took
a recess until 4 o'closck p. m., and
when it reassembled it was seen that
the supporters of Master, together
with other elements Of the party, op-
posed to h policy of Senator yelling
ton, a gained a complete victory.
The senator too no part in the second
session, which was brief, but decisive.
Attorney General Harry M. Clab-
augh, chairman of the committee on
credentials, took the floor as soon as
the was called to order and
presented resolutions declaring null
n void all the republican primaries
held in Baltimore on August 23rd, be-
cause of irregularity.

ing of primary elections and the hold
ing Of city legislative district conven-
tons in the city of Baltimore on Sep
TENDER 18th, when an entire new mu-
nicipal ticket shall be nominated, and
other delegates to the state conven-
ton be chosen.
The resolutions were received with
enthusiastic cheers and adopted with
out a dissenting voice. The committee
on resolutions asked for further time
which was granted, and then Mr..

ton adopted, a resolution that the con-
vention adjourn to meet at Raines

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Person and Holland played beauti-
full ball, as battery for New Bern. They
are fine players and they did their best
to win the game; but in vain.
Stitt, short stop for New Bern, was
all right, whether in the field or at the
bat.
Gwaltney played a beautiful catch
for the A. C. l.. team, and Hill was fine
in the pitchers box. They played pref
ty ball all the way through.
The A. c.. L. rooters certainly did
their best to win the same for that
club, il noise and ribbons could do such
a thing.
Up to the eighth inning the game
was very tight and interesting and
kept the crowd guessing as to which
team would triumph in the end, but
in this inning the A. c. LIS piled up
three runs, thus winning the game.
When the score was tied in the sew
enth inning, the crowd went wild, the
rooters of the Coast Line buried their
heads in their hands and wept silently
for Joy n the orange and black waved
with h triumph which they were to
keep till the end. This afternoon at
Hilton these teams will play the last
and deciding game of the series They
will put up an interesting and snappy
game Of ball, as each team wants the
honor Of victory and the purse of
money. Admission 25 cents. Ladies 10
cents.
|, Roberts, the left fielder of New
Bern. made some beautiful catches out
in his district.
Fenner, the first baseman of the A.
G. LIS, played one of the prettiest, all
round games of ball ever seen around
these quarters.
The New Bern boys are in the hands
of the A. C. L. and o. A. N. boys and it
is safe to say hat they will have a
good time.
Don't forget the game this afternoon.
It will be as cline as silk" and you will
miss half your life if you do not at
tend.
Sinclair was all right at the bat, and
would knock them balls away.

The building is T shape, running
back from it's Smithfield street front
to a ten foot alley in the rear, sepa-
rating it from the Seventh avenue

bering $50, were nearly all at supper at
the time the flames were seen pouring
from the rear window of Edmundson &
Perrine's building. A grand rush was
made for the exits. Fortunately no one
