BINGEN'S FAST TIME.

Louisville, KY. September 26.-The
fastest heat of the year was trotted on
the opening day of the Louisville driv-
ing association annual meet when
Bingen won the first heat of the 2. II
trot in 2. 06 81 The weather was perfect
and the track had been worked into
splendid condition. John A. McKerrou
won the first heat of the Preparation race
in 2.12 1-2, which is the seasons record
for three-year-olds, while Gaid made the
second heat of the 2.1l trot in 2.07 Ia.
equalling Eagle Flanagan's previous
record made at Terre Haute last week. In
this race the winner OF each heat lowered
its previous record.
In the three-year-old trot, McKerron,
the California horse. won the first. heat in
record breaking time, but WAS not a fac
tor afterwards. Charley Herr took the
second heat, but Cuprum, Marcus
Daly's Montana colt, proved surprise
and won the third and fourth heats and
the race easily with Herr ia vorite. The
race of the day, the 2. II trot, was a com.
paratiyely easy win for Bingen. The
Ha1nlin entry, Tommy Britton, driven by
Geers. opened as favorite, but was never
in it. Bingen won the first heat, Caid
won the second and third heats, but Bin
gen took the fourth. Bingen, Caid and
Georgeanna were the only starters in the
last heat. and Bingen won with lengths
to spare. Searchlight, the California
horse. was out of the betting in the 2.09
pace and won in straight heats.

FANNY DAVENPORT DEAD.
Well Known Actress Passes Away at Her
Summer Home.

Duxbury, Mass, September 26.-Fanny
Davenport, (Mrs. Il MelbournessM Nc Dowell, }
died at her summer home, Melbourne
hall, at half-past 10 o'clock tonight.
The cause of her death was enlargement
of the heart.
Miss Davenport had never fully reoov
cred from her severe illness early in the
summer, but up to week ago, it was
thought she would in time enjoy good
health. A few days ago Il change was
noticed and since then she has been grad
ually. sinking and today it was announced
that death was onlr a question of ew
hours. All three sisters had already
been notified, and with her husband, were
at her bedside, when she peacefully passed
away. Her brother-in-law, William Sey-
mour, was notified yesterday of her con
dition and Is on his way here. He will
take charge of the funeral arrangements,
the nature of which will not be known
until he arrives.
Miss Davenport was the daughter OF
Edward Davenport, the famous Ameri-
can actor and Fanny Elizabeth Vining
Davenport, an equally famous American
actress. and was born in London, April
10, 1850.

Use of Corn Binders.

In regard to corn binders an Ohio cor
respondent of Rural New Yorker says:
have used one for three years and am
we'll pleased with it. With our bundle
carrier we can cut and put up six to
seven acres per day, and two men can
set it up better than by the old way.
When corn stands up we'll and is not
too tall, it can be handled much nicer,
cheaper and easier than by hand and
very few ears are knocked off. In our
part of the state corn grows very tall
and we have found that the greatest
trouble is that the binder could not be
adjusted to suit all kinds, as the grain
binder can, but this trouble has been
overcome now, SO I understand, by sim
ply raising and lowering the platform
which holds the corn while the binder
ties it. Before, if the corn was tall, the
tie was so low down that the corn
would lop in the middle, as it had no
support.

HARRY oxLEY's STORY.
Tell of His Relations With the Murdered
Gill Girl. r.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, September u.s.
Events III connection with the Yellow
Mill pond tragedy are sammering down
10 closely that now but little interest re-.
mains for9the general public, but the ar
rest of NANCY" Guilford. When that
will take place, however, is still a matter
of conjecture.
ssThis morning the complaint against
Oxley and Guernsey was changed from
attempt to procure an abortion to that OF
granddaughter. Guernsey who came up
from Southington, had the surety trans
ferred from the old TO new count and
was released pending another nearing IN
the case next Saturday. Oxisy's ball mas
not yet been fixed on the new charge and
is still in durance.
1t was learned today that the brother
of Harry Oxley, who visited him at the
iaiI Yesterday, took into his confidence
friend in this city and told him the sub
stance of the confession alleged to have
been made to the police by the arrested
man.
Tbe brother said that when Harry was
arrested his mother told him TO tell the
whole truth in the case, and this is his
story:
emma Giu told me of her condition
anu | told Guernsey. The latter advised
me to marry the girl if felt sure the
responsibility was mine. l went to Emma
Gill and expressed my willingness to
marry her, but she said this was entirely
unnecessary. She knew Dr.iGuilford and
thai she could cure her Of her trouble by
an operation and she would get out OF
trouble that way. She did not wish to
marry me, because there was another
fellow, Foster, who wanted to marry her
and did not know her true character. He
would make her better home she
thought Than could and considered him
q better catch After she had come out
of her present trouble she would then set
tie down and if the young men persisted
in his desire to marry her, she would &C.
epb him"
as to what assistance Oxley gave Miss
Gill he did not state.

NO REWARD YET.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Saco, September 26.-No reply has yet
been received from Governor Powers
in response to the request that he offer
reward, in behalf of the state, for the
arrest of the North Saco murderer. The
local officers who have been Investigating
the case have suspended their labors,
having followed up every known clue.
Until some new incentive in the shape
of reward is offered, very little is like
" to be done toward finding out who
shot and robbed Ivory Boothby.
The residents of North Saco talk of
raising by subscription several hundred
dollars to be offered as reward for in
formation leading,to the capture and
conviction of the murderer.

The Red Cross Currant.

This variety, Of recent introduction,
is receiving much commentator as
valuable acquisition both for the fruit
grower and the private garden. Vick's
Magazine says Of it: The Red Cross is
a Seeding produced by Jacob Moore,
the we'll known originator of new fruits
and who is worthy of special respect
and congratulation for this achieve
ment. The seed was derived from the
Cherry currant artifcially crossed with
the White Grape ourrant. The Seeding
shows plainly, to some extent at least,
the influence of both parents. 1t has the
large size and color of berry of the
Cherry and the longer stem and milder
quality of the White Grape. The plant
is strong, vigorous grower and very
productive, more SO than either OF the
parent plants. Compared with the Fay
currant, the punches of the Red Cross
are longer, and the berries hold their
size better to the end of the stem, aver
aging larger and more uniform. The ber-
ries are sweeter than the Fay or the
Cherry, the latter being particularly
dClu. Liz Ie6ll OIOSS ID OlhdcAy RiC
ductive, and the clusters grow in groups
or masses instead of being singly dis
tributed over the plant, an arrangement
which favors rapid picking or gathering,
and another feature conducting to the
same end is the length of stem between
the spur and the fruit, allowing the
picker to take off the stems without in
reference of the berries with the fin
gers. These are important points, espe-
oially to the commercial grower, as
they will be indicated in the expense
account at the end of a season. Looking
over all the varieties of red currants
available for the market growers where
we find the Red Dutch, the Cherry, the
Victoria, Prince Albert, La Versailles,
North Star and Pomona, it will be seen
that the Red Cross surpasses each of
these in one or more characteristic
points and is their equal in any partic-
ular.

POLO IN CITY HALL.
To the Editor Of the Press:

o bHe EUtbOT " W6 TeSSs
Will you kindly allow me space in your
columns to express my surprise at the re-
ported action of the public buildings
committee in refusing to allow the use
of City hall for polo the coming season.
There are at least a Thousand good oiti-
zens in Portland who enjoy such polo as
Manager Burnham has provided and who
want to encourage the sport III this city
and state. With Bangor in the circuit
and the clubs well backed and handled
AS they are sure 10 be In all the towns
this season, it is a shame to block the
progress of the game which Is SO well
calculated to be permanently established
in Maine. Base ball has drifted away
from our citizens because of the expenses
necessary to conduct the national game,
the large number of players required,
salaries to secure the proper men, travel
ling expenses and disappointments in
bad weather. Polo with comparative
ly small number of players, no disap
pointments on account of the weather.
and being played in the evening when
business men can spare the time to at
tend. is the "Teal thing" for Maine, and
should be encouraged in every possible
way. 1 understand Manager Burnham
has paid the city $4,000 rental for City
Hall in the past two seasons exclusive
CT the lighting which he paid in ad
dition Before polo WAS played here the
floor was so bad that earnest appeals
were made for a new one and d canvas

order to give dance. Now that new

the interest the Commit tee express for

ooloRED LAuNDRsss SUSPECTED.
A Meat Saw Fonud at Her House Which
Had Been Recently Used,

Bridgeport, Conn.,, September 26.-Ihab
the police have not exhausted their re-
sources in securing evidence IN the
Emma Gill case, Is apparent, as TO-DAY
witnessed additional Developments IN tnls
direction. Probably the most interesting
find OF the day was a small meat saw that
was discovered at the home of Mrs. hose
Drsyton Mrs. Guilford's colored laun-
dress) on Cannon street. The saw blade
bore evidence of recent use and there
were found on it particles believed to be-
human flesh and marrow OF human
bones. The find is most important one,
as it removes all suspicion OF Eudora
Guilford being connected with her moGner
in the dismenlherIn OF the remains,
while it would indicate pretty clearly
that the colored woman WAS the mid
wife's assistant. 1t has been learned, too,
that the colored woman has been writing
to Mrs Guilford since the latter S nasty
departure from the city.
Oxleyis cor n ,ction with the affair as
told by his brother is given considerable
credence 1t is in brief that Emma Gill
told him she was in trouble and wanted
money TO be operated upon by rs. Gull
ford. Upon the advice OF Gu rnsey, he
offered to marry tine girl, but she desired
to marry another man. Oxley will not
admit that he was responsible for her con-
dition and disclaims sending her to the
M id-wife, on the contrary, 1t was some
thing she had determined upon when she
asked for the money and she came TO Mrs.
Guilford's house of her own volition.
The police say no such confession has
been made to them.
Mr. Oxley. ST., who with another son
and Judge Holoomb, came to Bridgeport
with the amount of bonds fixed last week,
was disappointed when he learned that
the prisoner was to be held on charge OF
manslaughter instead of the original
charge and that bail would probably not
be fixed on the last charge until Saturday

FALL PLANTED CABBAGE.
Best Varieties - When to Transplant.
Spring Setting.

Best Varieties When to Transplant.
Spring Setting.
Several readers having asked how
fall planted cabbage is handled for
spring setting The Rural New Yorker
gives the following answer by the su-
perintendent of Burpee & Co. IS trial
grounds:
This method was largely used by
truckers before the south began ship
ping early cabbage. 1t is still somewhat
used by dealers and truckers who desire
the earliest plants. The best Var1eties
are Early Jersey Wakefield and VIM
nigstadt. Seed of these varieties Is soWn
outdoors from Sept. Is to Oct. l.
Late in October the young plants are
transplanted to cold frames. At this
time they should be about two inches
in height and of short, stocky growth.
The plan is to set them in rows two
inches apart in each direction. The bed
or cold frame is just an Enclosure OF
plain boards set on edge. These boards
inclose the sides and support the cover
ing during the winter.
II is not desired to have these plants
increase in size before spring. The idea
is to keep them in as nearly dormant
condition as possible. Therefore no COW
ering should be used until there is dan
ger from severe frost It is not neces-
sary to use glass sashes, although these
are the best. Shutters made Of half inch
boards, reaching from side to side Of
the frame, will prove satisfactory.
It is necessary to give an abundance
Of fresh air on every possible occasion.
This is done by removing the sashes or
covering SO as to keep the plants hardy
and stocky. The frame ought to be on
high we'll drained soil In very cold
weather additional protection is given
by placing manure around the outside
Of the frame and laying old carpet or
straw mats over the sash or shutters.
In case Of storms, snow may be allowed
to remain over the frames several days,
but on the first clear, mild day they
should be dug out and given fresh air
and sunlight.
These plants are we'll hardened from
their manner of growth and in the
spring may be set out as early as the
ground can be dug or plowed. Near
Philadelphia they are generally planted
from March 30 to April 1, if the weather
is at all suitable. They will not be in
jured at all by light frost.
