The Going at Oakland Was Too Sticky for
 the FavOriteS.
Ricardo Defeated a Big Field at the LOng Price of Fifty
 to One.
Palnaerston Won Easily at Twenty to One-FashiOn Plate Another
 Winner at Long Odds.

The going at Oakland yesterday was sticky and holding and form players experienced rough time picking win ners. Outsiders in the betting held sort of levee, taking most of the races on the card. The rank outsider Ri- cardo, with as good as 50 to 1 about him in the ring. captured the opening event with ease from a big field. The books laid 6 to l against La Maroma, winner of the maiden three year old race. and Fashion Plate romped away with the mile and a sixteenth affair at 15 to | The final race of the day went to Palmerston. backed down from 20 to 12

Mcdonald on the 50 to l shot. Ricardo, ran around his field, and, taking the lead in the run home, won with ease from Coda. Hen messy landed show honors with Yer agua. Blue Bell had speed, but quit near the end.
 The finish to the five and a half fur long scramble next decided resulted in
 
 oma, Flandes and Bow and Arrow, the trio finishing heads on the wire. The winner, La Maroma, with Hennessy up, a 5-to-1 chance, made the running, and inclined to swerve at the end, won by a head from F'landes. Entrata was tipped about as the smart one in the race, but failed to do anything sensa- tionaL
 The mile and a sixteenth selling run was a hard throw down for the talent. Argentina was heavily played at even money, but was unable to navigate in the sticky going, and landed rods be- yond first place. Fashion Plate, a 15- to-1 shot, cut out the pace from the jump, leading out Collins a length at the wire, with pounds to spare. Song and Dance finished in the show.
 Cash Sloan, astride the second choice MorellitO, down the 5-tO2 choice.

Tom Griffins lilly, Hardly, showed to good advan- tage, finishing a close third.
 The big chestnut horse, King Will jam, was made a pronounced favorite for the mile selling run, but little O'Connor lost an acre of ground with him at the head of the stretch, and was Unplaced at the wire. Harry Thoburn, with Spencer up, made a runaway race of the thing, leading from start to fin- ish, and winning in a romp from Thel- ma- Cappy, third choice was badly cut down.
 Benamela, with Lonny Clayton in the saddle, was made an 8-to-5 choice for the last race of the afternoon, and did not show enough speed to catch a broken-down car horse. Palmerston, a 20-to-1 shot, ridden by Tompkins, over took the speedy Don't Skip Me less than a furlong from the wire, and won easily by five lengths. Una Colo rado, another outsider, was a close third.

For Illegal Flsblnq.

The preliminary examination of Michaels and Drake, who were arrested last Saturday for using illegal nets in the Salinas River, was held yesterday before Justice Clark of Castroville and the accused were held for trial before the Superior Court. These men were caught by the Fish Commission deputies while operating set nets which they had stretched from bank to bank across the Salinas River, near Castroville.

snenss Of Lnwlessness At Scalp.

a correspondent writing from Scalp
Level, in the Johnstown Tribune, gives
some interesting information in regard
70 the early history of that place, Is well
as lamenting thepresent state of society.
He says: ''Sealp Level is an old town, and
lies part in Somerset and part in Cambria
county. II is situated at the forks OF
Little and Big Paint Creek. Its name
originates from bloody fight in which
hand of hunters were killed and scalped
by the Indians. The Seeses. Orrises,
Roses and Eashes were among The early
settlers, and Jacob Eash was the founder
of the town, about 1870. 4 good farming
country surrounds the town, and the
Weavers, Hohmans, Hershbergers, Leh-
mans and Yoders, with others, are as good
farmers as you will find in Western Penn
sylvania.
The people Of Scalp mean the old
citizens-as rule are OF quiet aud
peaceable nature, and for many years
lived and enjoyed themselves among the
hills surrounding the town in peace and
quiet. But things have changed, and
changed wonderfully, in the last year or
two. The farmers sold their mineral
rights, first one, then another, da I'll. with
the exception of one or two FARMS, every
farmer in Richland and Paint Townships
sold his coal, and sold it for song-sl0to TO
S30per acre for the very best coal in Amer
lea. One year ago there were several
hundred citizens living here. To day
there are several thousand. People came
and are coming. and they come from every
country under tho sun. Before we lived
in quiet; now it's simply the opposite
In the last few days its been war and
fighting, and cur old citizens are hardly
safe on the streets after night Monday
a regular pitched battle took place be-
tween Scalp and the new town of Wind
ber. Stones, revolvers, aud Winchesters
were used. Tuesday a railroad man by
the name Of Rusher and man named
Minser had 8 quarrel The railroad man
drew a blackjack, and only for the deter
mined interference Of the landlady Of the
house and the fact that Minser was not
armed, prevented bloody fight. Last
night war reigned on the streets, shots
were fired, two men were cut, one man
Was shot, and several old citizens had 10
run for their lives. The greatest trouble
is the people have no law protection. The
township has Constable, but he lives
three miles out in the country, and we are
simply at the mercy Of the lawless. We
hope for the better.n
The HERALD is reliably informed that
steps have already been taken by parties
most extensively interested in the future
welfare of Windber to have that grow
ing town incorporated into borough,
in order that the peaceable citizens may
secure proper police protection and have
immunity from the outrages complained
of by the Tribune correspondent.
