SHEEPsHEAD Bay, n Y, Aug. %
The autumn meeting of the CoDey
Island Jockey Club opened here this
afternoon. Tine Futurity stakes for
2 year-olds, the richest prize offered for
thoroughbreds, is the chief event, and
one of the biggest crowds of the season
is expected here to see it contested.
So open is the race that the owner Of
nearly every entry that has shown any
speed at all will take chance at cap
turing some portion OF the money.
The indications are that the largest
field that ever faced starter in this
country will line up. Figuring on
thirty-two possible starters, the prize
will be worth aFout $40. 700. Autumn

and he will probably rule favorite.
Dr. Eichberg and Sir Hubert are next
in demand. Western horsemen are
very sweet on The chances of His Lord

among the light weights and one of
them may furnish surprise to turf
men. Among them may be mentioned

The indictment Ouashed.

CHARLESTON, W. Vs., Aug. 23.-The
second indictment against MIS-. Myra
Atkinson, wife of the governor of West
V rg mia, charging her with forging the
name OF her late husband, Judge Cam
den, to certain deeds, has been quashed,
and the case against her dismissed.
Mrs. Atkinson was indicted jointly with
J. P. Ovens, and she was tried in 1897,
the case ending with q hung jury.
Owens was acquitted. The second in.
dictment against Mrs. Atkinson is
quashed on the ground that the indict
ment failed to allege guilty intent, and
that Owens having been acquitted, it
would necessarily acquit Mrs. Atkinson
who was only the alleged accessory.

THE NEW York Sun says; The
American people emerge from the con-
tiict with Spain with renewed and
lively conviction of being invinci-
BILE in war. AS fighters they feel that
they are unexcelled." For the good OF
the country, it is hoped the Sun, in this,
may not be correct, for if the result o.
a war with weak and deienceless Spain
has produced any such impression, it
NAV be the means OF inspiring war
with a more powerful adversary, in
which event, that impression may be ie-
moved. The Spanish war in fact was
no war at all, and except for the NOR
tally from disease, would have been
almost bloodless.

Richmond. The queen of love and
beauty was Miss Elaine Powell, Of
Powellton Heights. The three maids Of
honor were the Misses Irene Sherwood,
Ethel Johnson and Eta Stirton. After
the presentation the party adjourned
to the pavilion, where dancing was en-.
joyed until late hour. Refresh
ments were served on the beautiful
lawns that surround the house. Great
amusement was Afforded By the appear
ance of Spaniard on the grounds. He
was captured after many fruitless eff
forts by the crowd, and safely landed
in the stronghold of Powellton Heights.
The surprise was intense when the

TUESDAY EVENING, AUG. %, 1898.

THERE Is no doubt of the fact that
many of the officers of the volunteer
army are delighted with the pay uni
form and authority conferred upon
them by their commissions, and only
naturally, are opposed to the muster
ing out of the soldiers of their com
mands, and consequently of their own
retirement to the obscurity OF their
civil life. But those officers should
xecollect that the majority Of the PEG
pie of this country are very poor now
and can i'll afford to bear, much longer,
the high taxes imposed upon them to
pay the salaries of volunteer officers IN
a war they never thought was neces'
sarv, and besides, that is now over.

A New HIERAR5HY.-The Politische Cor
respondent, Of Vienna says that negotiations
will begin Immediately between Cardinal
Bampola, pspal secretary Of state, and the
Washington government for the establish
ment of new hierarchy in the Spanish COL
onies passing into the possession of the Unite
states. The procedure will likely be similar
to that followed when New Mexico. Califor-
mia and other Spanish possessions were ncor-
porsted by the United States. The paper
sids: 1.-THE friendly rotations existing be-
tween the United States and the Papal See

JUDGED BY reliable accounts from

that island has been corrot grated by the

there, such outrsges including all man.
ner of crime, from theft to assaults on
defenseless white women. All wars

ty of the late one between this country

it was prosecuted for "humsni'y's

THE SPANISH COMMISSIONERS.

Tho State Department received call yes
terisy from n. Thithaut, secretary of the
French embassy, and in charge during the
absence of Ambassador Cambon, who bore 3
notification from the Spanish government Of
the military commissioners for Cuba and Por.
to Rico. Undor the peace protocol each gov
eminent was to name its military commits
sioners within ten days, their III aetings to be-
gin within Thirty days. ! no ten days was up
yesterday, and, accordingly, Spain gave the
official notice Of the appointments. They are
as follows;
For Cubs-Major General Gonzales PARA
do, Admiral Mauterola, Marquis Montoro
For Porto Rico-Major General Crtega y
Diaz, Commodore of First Bank Yallarino y
Carrasco, Judge Advocate Sanchez del Aguila
y Leon.
The foregoing official list differs from some
of the lists given in press dispatches, which
have included Admiral Montijo, Gen. Blanco,
Gen. Macias and several other prominent
Spanish officers. Considerable significance at.
taches to the naming of Marquis Montoro on
the Cuban commission, as it indicates pur-
pose on the part of Spain to go into the future
government of Cuba. He is the only commits.
sioner, Spanish or American, taken from ci-
william life. He is Secretary Of the Treasury
of the Cuban autonomous cabinet and all his
interests are connected with the government
of Cuba rather than with The military Ques-
ton of the Spanish evacuation of Cuba. He
is named, it is believed, in order to carry out
Spain's desire to have an understanding as to
the future government of the island, he being
intimately familiar with the questions Of the
civil administration of Cuba As secre airy OF
the Cuban treasury he is s.so very familiar
with questions affecting the Cuban debt.

THE NEW YORK MURDER MYS-
Terry.


Probably never before were as many
New York detectives engaged on any
murder mystery as are at work now on
the case of Emelyne Reynolds, who was
murdered in a hotel q few days ago
Though confident that DIR. Samuel
j. Kennedy is the guilty man, Cap
tain McClusky admits that there are
still two missing links in the chain.
Ole is that the detectives have not
been able TO find the diamonds; the
other that they are unable TO prove
that Kennedy manufactured the lead
pipe club with which Dolly Reynolds
skull was crushed. 1t is on these
p ,ints that the entire energy of the de-
tec;ive force is conferred. For the dia-
monds the detectives have made tire.
less search. They have gone through
Kennedy's house in New Dorp and his
office in west Twenty.secoud street.
They have dug up his garden, and
gone over the path be must have
taken when he walked from Clifton. In the
office the carpet was ripped up and the dental
chsirs examined. They have not yet looked
into the upholstery of tho chairs, however.
Kennedy has refused to guide the detectives
over the path he took 10 New Dorp He says
he does not remember. That Kennedy has
begun to feel the strain of the awful charge
t. which he must answer there is no doubt
His appetite has loft him, so that cup Of cof-
ice sutfices for his breakfast and a plate Of
soup for his dinner. In cells on either side of
him are Central Office detectives disguised as
prisoners. Dr.. Kennedy seems to be aware
of the fact that he is being closely watched
day and night. The police believe that the
missing jewels were barred by DR.. Kennedy
near his house in New Drop. Fortune-tell-
els, clairvoyants and astrOlogers have offered
TO solve the mystery.
