Which Opens Today.

New York, Nov. 14.-It was only the
professional horsemen that appeared at
Madison Square Garden today, the open
ing day of the National Horse Show as
sociatiOn's fourteenth annual exhibition.

of popular interest in the earliest phases
of the exhibition were unfavorable
weather conditions. The doors of the

from that time until 10:3 o'clock horses
entered in the several classes, were ex-
ercised in the ring. Half an hour later
the jumpers had their preliminary trial

SHOWERS OF METEORS

New York, Nov. 14-Prof J. K. Rees,
of Columbia university, said today that
he would begin the first clear night to
watch for the shower of meteors expect
ed to fall between now and November
p. Preparations have also been made
at Yale, Princeton, Harvard and other
colleges and universities to observe the
shower. DR. Ell1in, director Of Yale I'M
iversity observatory, had a metero-
graph constructed in 1896, and hopes to
use this in registering the meteors now
approaching the earth
This shower was expected last NO

culation, it is due this month, but as
other figures and calculations have so
recently proved unreliable, Dr. Rees

WHERE is THE OLD Man
White Haired Traveller Disap-
pears MysteriOusly From
Farm House.

Yesterday afternoon an old medicine
peddIer by the name of Meltz stopped at
the house of Arthur Porter, five miles
south of town, and asked for lodging.
Porter told him he could stay all night
and directed him where to put the horse
and wagon.
About O'Clock in the evening the old
man stepped out of the door and has
not been seen or heard of since. Porter
thought the old man was going to feed
his horse but when an hour went by
and he did not return Porter became
alarmed and went in search of the old
man. He could not find him. A num-
Der of the neighbors organized a search
ing party but up to this morning at 8
o'clock no trace had been found of him
He is described as man about rs years
old with white hair and full beard. 1t
is not known whether he had money
about him or not.

DESPERATE PRISONER.
Burns His Way Out of the Ell
Dorado Jail-Nearly De-
strOys Court House.

Ell Dorado, Nov 14.-Wm. A1lmandin-
ger, confined in the county Jail await
ing his trial at the coming term of
court upon a charge of grand larceny
made his escape Saturday in a most
daring manner.
He was not locked up in the cage that
was provided by the county at a great
cost for such purposes and he got upon
the top of the cage and with an iron
bar which he had secured, he pried
through the plaster and lath overhead,
worked splinters loose with the bar in
the floor above, then applied a match
and burned a hole through the floor
large enough to enable him to pull him
self through it, and escaped. The 9TH
er prisoners were afraid the building
was going to burn, so yelled Fire
which woke Sheriff Turner, who has
tened there. The other prisoners had
been throwing water on the fire from
below, but it was still burning above
and would probably have burned the
whole building if not discovered then.

the CubanS.
London Nov. 1.-THE examination in
bankruptcy proceedings of Ernest Terah
Hooley,- the company promoter, was re-
sumed today.
Sir William Marriott took the stand
and declared that Mr.. HooIey's state
ment that he had paid the witness 1000
pounds for introducing him (HOOley) to
the Carleton club was a pure invention
and an abominable lie.
Sir William added that he knew moth
ing at the time about Mr.. Hooley's al
legged donation of 10000 pounds to the
conservative party funds through the
Marquis of Abergavenny, though Mr..
HOOley told him afterwards that he had
given the marquis 10000 pounds for the
fighting funds, of the conservative par
ty which Sir William Marriott, explain
ed had nothing to do with the Carleton
club.
The witness also said he had helped
Mr.. HOOley in political and financial
matters, but had always declined re-
enumeration for his services.
Later Sir William Marriott said Mr..
HOOley told him in December, 1885, that
he was engag ed with an American syn
enormous loan for Cuba, and said he,
the witness had been appointed counsel
to the cOmpany'S commission which was
to visit Cuba and that his fee was to
be 10000 pounds, in view of which Mr.
HoOley paid him 1 900 pounds on ac-
count.
On REORGANIZATION, Sir William
Marriott admitted that he had received
a check for so pounds from Mr.. HoOley
which he handed to representatives of
the conservative party. Mr.. HOOley be-
HeVed this would secure him a bar
onetcy at the jubilee, but he was in
formed that he could not have it and
the check was returned to him.

MURDER ON THE CHISPA.
The Second One to Take Place With
in Two Months.

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-On the yacht
Chispa, at Casualfto. last night. Nick
Berg was probably fatally wounded by
Ike EIke. It appears that Berg's infatu-
alton for Elke's wife was the cause of
the shooting. Elke is in charge of
Chispa His wife was on board when
Berg boarded the vessel and was shot
down.
It was on the Chispa and at sausalito
that Captain Brooks was murdered two
months ago. The mystery of that crime
search the police practically abandoned
the case. During the investigation Berg
and Elke were listed among the suspects.
Each succeeded in proving an alibi, how
ever, and the case against them was drop
ped. The shooting of Berg may lead to
the unraveling of the mystery of the
Brooks murder.

people who are worrying about the soldier
