NO MORE RACES.
Cincinnati Jockey Club Will Prob
ably Ask for a Receiver.

CINCINNATI (O), July Y.-Last
week the Cincinnati Jockey Club de-
clared off their fall meeting. Now it
is announced that there will probably
be no more races at the Oakley track.
As soon as Colonel Applegate returns
from Chicago, the Directors will meet
to consider the advisability Of applying
for receiver.
The Indebtedness is mostly due to
stockholders who have personally ad-
vanced money With three tracks and
$50 days of racing each season, this
part has been overdone during the past
two or three years. The meetings We're
made shorter this year, but still the
spring meeting of only fifteen days at
Oakley was Improbable.

of 1894 he was made the Colonel of the

the beginning of the present year his

up-to-dateness about them that ap-
peal at once to all lovers of dainty
footwear AS a consequence many
women secured pairs of the shoes,

tentiOn to do SO shortly.

Evidence to Show q Combine.

Chicago. Sept. 1.-The Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association is said by it's sec
retary, j. M. Glenn, to be collecting
evidence against several of the leading
express companies, with the view of
establishing that those carriers are act
ing as trust in violation OF the act 10
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraints and monopoIies. The
testimony is TO be laid before the Uni
ted States district attorney. Accord
Ing to Sec. Glenn. the express compa-
nies have declined to enter into compe-
tition to carry express matter over GER
tain lines OF the railroads, and because
the privilege was not given to one
company upon its own terms the other
companies have attempted TO make II
impossible for any express matter to be
carried over those lines, and have OBJ
structed the carriage from points there
on to places on lines operated by the
express companies. The railroad COM
panies who have had this experience
with the express companies are the WI.
mona and Western, the Ann Arbor Rail-
road and steamship lines and the
Southern Indiana. II is alleged that in
the furtherance OF their plans to stifle
competition the express companies
have consolidated their offices and agen-
cies at what are designated common
points, and divide the earnings among
themselves, giving the public no op-
portunity TO patronize any company ex-
cept the one designated.

OVER A BOARD BILL.
Sirloins, Pie, Doughnuts and Bonnet with
PassaIn :nterls, Figured Ia Case.

Mrs. Mary Clark and Mrs. Martha
| Williams, two colored women, after
years of close friendship quarrelled, and
the quarrel resulted in the trial of
case in the civil division OF the sixth
district court today. II was an inter-
esting trial. for lots OF small incidents
were brought out and had to be care
fully weighed in giving a decision, but
the incident OF the trial that phased his
honor, Judge Sweetland and the two
attorneys in the case was a bonnet with
passamenterie trimmings upon it.
The attorney for the defendant had
examined his client very specifically on
bonnet she had given the plaintiff
and which the defendant had said was
worth $50. This attorney did not know
the plaintiff had the bonnet in court.
The attorney for the plaintiff had told
his client TO fetch the bonnet to the
trial, but when the bonnet was dis
played. the plaintiffs attorney did not
know, as he is young man, whethei
the passamenterie had been removed or
not. The other attorney was not very
familiar with the subject Of bonnets
and as for Judge Sweetland, he did not
mention the bonnet when he announced
his decision, nor did he ask any ques-
tions about the bonnet OF either lady.
as he probably would have done had
the thing been something else.
Mrs. Clark was plaintiff and she
claimed Mrs williams engaged board OF
her. agreeing to pay $1.25 for room
and $1.75 for table board. The room
let was the parlor. Mrs. Clark said de-
fendant acme TO her I'm great distress
and said that she had been put out of
her room in another place and asd as
soon as she collected her rent she would
pay Mrs. Clark for board and lodging.
Mrs. Williams claimed there was no
board, that she was TO help about the
house, that she had in fact supplied
the table. with the food distributed
therefrom, mentioning two sirloin |
steaks and other things, that Mrs. |
Clark was sick part Of the month she |
lived with her, that she, defendant, had |
gone house hunting for the plaintiff |
and had contracted in the heat Cizzi- |
ness from which she had not fully re-
covered up to the present day. Mrs.
Clark, on beng recalled. said Mrs. Will
liains once bought a pie and some |
and these things she ate |
herself Mrs. Williams again took the |
stand and was followed by Mrs. Clark
and the bonnet incident was discussed. |
Judge Sweetland gave Mrs. Clark
Judgment for SO and costs. Mrs. Will
liams' daughter and Mrs. Clark had a

duly aired on the other side of the |
court. James c. Collins, Jr., was at

WILL NOT BE
COMMISSIONER

Madrid, Sept 1.--Senor Siivcla. the
Conservative leader VINO was summon
ed to Madrid from Avila, had con-
ference with Premier Sagasta yester-
day. Senor Sagasta expressed his wisi,
that Senor Silvela accept place on the
Spanish peace commission. as ne was
desirous that a member or his party
should sit in the Paris conferences.
Senor Silvela declined to have anything
to do with the matter. saying that it
was the duty OF the Liberals % make
peace.
Senor Sagasta urged that the Amer
lean commission was composed Of men
of both the great political parties, but
Silvela replied that the example did not
apply in the case of the Spanish COM
mission.
Sagasta still adheres to his declara-
tion that the Spanish peace commission
has not yet been appointed, but he says
that the cabinet will consider the mat
ter today. The members of the COM
mission will, as far as possible, be men
who are well acquainted with interna-
tional law. finances and military af-
fairs, and will also be required to pos
sess familiarity with colonial affairs, es-
pccially with reference to the Philip
pines. The choice OF commissioners
will depend largely upon the latter quail
ification.
