 Fifteen Thousand Present.

Louisville, May 12.-The twenty-third Kentucky, derby has passed into history and along with it the winter ard spring calculation of the talent, Ornament, the much tout d son of Imp. Order, that game chestnut colt whose 2-year-old perform ances stamped him and rightly so the king of the western turf lowered his col ors this afternoon before a gamer and better animal. Without being touched and. with only little shaking up near the wire, Typhoon Il. landed the coveted prize. Showing the way the entire dis tance of one mile and a quarter, the chestnut colt was never in distress at any part of the journey. The finish was not the sensa tional kind that furnishes excitement to those who have wagers on the outcome for Typhoon's victory, well and gamely contended, was won with an ease that clearly proved his superiority over the five other colts conteSting for the honor. It was a good betting race, but Typhoon, though a second choice, carried but little of the public money. When they went to the post the ruling prices were:
 Ornament, to 5; Typhoon Il to 5; pr. Catlett, Az to l; Dr. Shepard, to l; Ben Brown, 10 to l, and Goshen, 16 to l.
 After last nights heavy rain it was thought that the going would be unus- ually bad and that the track would be fully five seconds slow. But nature and manhood accomplished much. Along the rail it was still sticky and in spots there were decided evidences of the re- cent downpour but fifteen feet from the rail it was better in fact, but little slow. All things considered the track was perhaps three seconds off. The win ner is by Top Gallant out of Dolly Var den and is owned by J. c. Calm, of Mem phis. The crowd numbered 15,000.
 Ben Brown was sold by Owner Furst to Fleishman, the Cincinnati millionaire luSIH 'seoBl s.HBp eul oIoJeq 'uBmesIoq thousand dollars was the price paid for him, Furst retaining one-half of his win nings in the Louisville, Oakley and La tonia derby.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Oct 2s.-William
Carr, the self.accused murderer Of his
three-year-old daughter Belle, has said
repeatedly since his confession that he
knew he would have TO hang and the
quicker he paid the penalty for his
crime the better he would like II.
Carr's desire for g. speedy execution
may be granted. Carr's preliminary
hearing will be held Friday and the
Clay county grand jury will meet next
Monday. The work OF indicting Carr
will consume but little time. At the
same time the circuit court of Clay
county will convene. II Is probable
that the trial of Carr will be one of the
first criminal cases taken up. The
murderer has condemned himself. 1t
is stated that no reputable attorney In
the county will attempt anything
more than a perfunctory defense for
Carr Such is the intensity OF the
feeling against Carr in Clay county
that there will be but one sentiment
and in that the people will join with
unanimity that the child murderer
shall be executed ut the earliest posi-
BILE moment.
