UNION PARK.

For Freedom, the plucky English hound, again demonstrated his ability to go the pace that kills and yet land a winner. In the presence of 5000 people yesterday at Union Coursing Park, in the open stake for all-aged hounds, For Freedom, by perseverance, grit, speed and indonit- able courage, second time won the final course and first money. He defeated Pre- tender. False Flatterer, Flying Buck, Mountain Beauty and Lissak. Several of these courses were long and tiresome, and in them For Freedom showed his grit.
 In the course with Flying Buck, in the third ties, the English dog was given strong argument, and two courses were run before it was decided. In the final he gave a great exhibition of stamina. Lissak showed better from the slip, but the hare was strong one and the course long, and the American dog, while hav- Ing much the best of 1t at the start, could not hold the pace, besides being out generated by Tor Freedom. The latter was hot favorite and was played by the talent at prohibitiye odds. In the finals he opened at to 10 and closed at to 5.
 The veteran stake was easily won by Electric. In the final between Electric and Waratah, Judge Bull announced the former as the winner, but the flag stew ard misunderstood his order and raised the red flag. The pools paid off many white tickets before the judge discovered hiiO "1Sii6 AAoS NoS opg G4l0 it down.

 The days sport produced a number of beautiful courses, but occasionally a bad hare was loosed. Dr. Van Hummel sold seven dogs from his kennels at a total of $595, the highest price being paid for any one hound being $100. It was after o'clock before the coursing was over. The following Is the way that the hounds -an:

4 NEW CHURCH
 FOR CATHOLICS
Italians Lay the Cornerstone O. Their New Edtfice at
 Ocean View.
Father Prendergast Conducts the Ceremony and Delivers
 an Address.

The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Corpus Christi Church, the new house of worship for the Italian Catholics in the Ocean View District, was solemnly performed yesterday afternoon by the Rev Father Prendergast, V. G., of the cathedral
 The stone was laid in the southwest cor ner of the foundation and consisted of a solid block of marble eighteen inches long by twelve wide. On the front surface was the inscription of the present year carved in Roman numerals. Followed out of the center was an oblong receptacle in which was placed zinc box, which was after ward dramatically sealed.
 The box contained a medal bearing the image of Pope Leo XIII, a medal consecrated to the Madonna, and an American coin of the present years mint age. In addition to the medals, carefully wrapped in a piece of parchment, was the portrait of Don Bosco, the founder of the Salesian Community.
 On the under side of the cover of the receptacle was the date of the present year inscribed in Arabic numerals
 After the conservation of the stone and it's contents it was lowered into position in the foundation of the building and carefully mortared and secured against displacement. During the ceremony of laying the stone the Italian band, hired

for the occasion, rendered a number Of American and Italian patriotic airs.
 The Rev. Father Sardi of St. lgnatus Church delivered an address in Italian, the purport of which was the request that the Italian Catholics of the district would manifest a pride in their new church and contribute literally toward assisting the new priests in their work of ridding the edifice of whatever debt will be con tracted in it's erection.
 Fully 5000 people, mostly Italians, par ticipated in the ceremony yesterday after noon and the inhabitants of the district for miles around f1ocked to the vicinity to get a glimpse of the interesting stone and its curious contents
 Fathers CaSsius, Oreni and Redahan will be stationed at the new church. It has been rumored that when the new church and the parochial residence are completed a convent will be erected in the rear of the former.
 The church, which has been in process of construction for the past month, will be hurried to completion so as to allow the celebration of mass for the first time next Sunday morning. The framework is now entirely completed and during the coming week it is expected that the roof and sides will be completely shingled Easter Sunday morning the dedication ceremony will be held

YOUNG THIEVES IN JAIL.
Chief JaiIer Sattler Has an UnweI- come Quartet in the Broad
 wau RaStiIe
way BaStile.

Chief Jailer Sattler has four young criminals in the County Jail that he would very much prefer to get rid of not that the Chief Jailer is opposed to ac- commodate the criminal class with bed and board but in this case the inmates are all under the age of 16 years. Two of the boys are in prison for stealing few bottles of soda water from an oyster saloon on Third street. Their names are: E. Kirby, alias Yerby aged 13, and Emil Holloway, aged 14. These two lads, with another boy named Sam Ridge, while go- ing for their morning papers on the 9th inst. saw the oyster saloon open and they went in and helped themselves to the soda water. Unfortunately for them a viglant police officer saw them and placed them under arrest upon the charge of burglary. On this they were held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Campbell. The other two are a few years older, and are charged with graver offense. Orazzo Salvini was caught while trying to clean out a store in which there was an assortment of picked olives. He is aged 16, but small for his years. The other boy is John Dagnio. and is aged 15. He is charged with highway robbery in having garroted a German boy whom he met on the street and relieved him of watch and chain. Each of the boys is willing to plead guilty in anxiety to get away from the County Jail

THOUGHT IT WASN'T LOADED
Percy Cotton Arrested on a Charge
 of Assault to Murder

Percy Cotton, young man, was booked at the City Prison yesterday afternoon on charge of assault to murder, but as the wounded man refuses to prosecute, the chances are that the case against him will be dismissed.
 From a statement made to the police it seems that Cotton was visiting August Elgnaut at his room. 515 Connecticut street, in the Potrero, and they began to talk about ,revolvers: Vignaut said that he could take a revolver from Cotton be- fore he could fire it off. Cotton pulled revolver from his pocket, not knowing, as he alleged that it was loaded. and as Yignaut made dash for him he pulled the trigger and a bullet struck Vignaut on the chin, nearly tearing his jaw off and making its exit in the back of his neck.
 Drs- De Witt and Simpson were sum- moned and attended to the wounded man. Cotton was arrested by Policeman Cassin and sent to Captain Spillane, who de- cided that it was better for Judge to pass upon the case and ordered Cotton to be locked up on a charge of assault to murder. Drs. De Witt and Simpson sent e certificate to the effect that the wound Vas an ugly one, but not likely to prove fatal.

COURSINC AT THE TWO PARKS,
INGLESIDE.

The hares were unusually strong and many of them es- capped.

Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Sept. %, 1898

Washington, Sept. %, 1898,
President Mckinley has COM
pleted the commission to investi-
gate the conduct of the war, and
will begin it's investigation at once
and push it to conclusion with
OUT any unnecessary delay. Every
witness summoned will be assur-
ed that he may tell everything he
knows without fear of consequent
ces, no matter upon whom his tes-
timony may reflect. The presi-
dent has no fear of the truth, eth
or for himself or for any member
of his administration.
It is interesting to recall at this
time that if the republicans Of
the House could have had their
way the House committee on MIL
itary affairs would have investiga-
ted the conduct of the war just as
it went along. During the clos
ing hours of the last session Of
Congress Representative Hull, of
Iowa, chairman Of that commit
tee: ''That the committee on mil
itary affairs have power to sit dur
ing the adjournment of Congress,
and make such Investigations as
to the organization and equipment
of all. branches of the army as it
may deem advisable, and report to
the next session of Congress. :"
That committee has among it's
members veterans of the civil war
from both sides, making them es-
peciall competent to undertake
such an investigation. Messrs.
Bailey and Richardson, two of the
rival democratic leaders of the
House, threw cold water on the
resolution, and Jerry Simpson,
taking his cue from them, killed
it by objecting to it's consider
alton, frankly acknowledg ing that
he did so because he wished the
opponents of the republican party
to have an opportunity to make
political capital out of any CON-
plants that might arise from the
conduct of the war-in his own
language, Il want the party in
power that appointed the men to
assume the responsibility, and
therefore [ object just con-
trast their attitude towards that
resolution with the present yowl-
ing Of the democratic party; it
tells story thot needs no com-
ment.
Unless present plans are chan
ed, President Mckinley will d
