 AT THE WIRE Morinel and Martha Il Run a Dead Heat
 at Ingleside.
Flying Magdalenes Captured the Ocean View Stake
 Easily.
Two FavorjteS in FrOnt-Howard Mann Adain Let His Backers
 Down With a Thud.

The racing at Ingleside yesterday was better than for some days past. Entries were more plentiful and the finishes in several instances were high lv exciting In the final race of the day the game little piece of horsefiesh Morinel, ridden by Spencer, and Tom Grif1n's crack lilly, Martha II, with Tod Sloan in the saddle. passed the wire nose and nose the judges decid- ing q dead heat. The ocean View stake for two-year-old Allies was annexed by the flying Magdalenes, by long odds the most highly educated youngster yet shown this season. Favorites were able to capture but two purses.
 A big field of maidens started in the opening five furlong dash, which was captured by Little Alarm, 10 to shot. played down to 5. Aprona, the Corrigan entry, finished second.
 In the six furlong sprint following, R. O. Ban, second choice in the betting, ridden by 'Skeets" Martin, made all the running and won easily from Pat Murphy an to l chance. Don F,ulano received a pathetic ride at the hands of Spencer, and though well played favorite. it was passed unnoticed by the judges.
 The crowd wanted nothing but Mag dalenes in the betting on the stake event She was quickly backed down from to to even money, and with 120 pounds and Spencer on her back made her field look like lot of sheep. Winifred, a fil1v by Riley. carrvi~~ the Corrigan colors, ran a very creditable race the first time out, taking the nlace from Humidity. The winner covered the route over a track several seconds slow in 50 seconds.
 The followers of Howard Mann were aeai- doomed to disappointment. The bay horse was a to 10 favorite for the mile and a half purse affair and fin ished last of the trio of starters. Ar gentina, the outsider of the party in ma1- the running for mile and a II to the front and won by five lengths

Down the back stretch he found an opening and momentarily showed in front. In the run home both Morinel and Martha again headed the favorite and the two Allies fought it out. It was very tight fit at the end, fuaausing the officials in the stand to de- eide a dead heat. Traverser was third.

 T Stevens. the steward of the steam CT, was paid off yesterday and he and Armstrong had several drinks together. Tn the afternoon they were in Stevens room on Third and Folsom streets, when Stevens accused Armstrong or steaing his purse Armstrong denied the accu- sation. but Stevens was insistent and used very strong language in backing up ms assertion Finally Stevens locked Arm strong in the room and went in search of a policeman. He could not find one and returned to his room. He told Armstrong that he would have him arrested unless handed it back Stevens examined It ana found that a s gold piece was missing; He accused Armstrong of taking the gold piece and when he refused to return 1t he again locked him up in the room and went in search of an officer. lie met Policeman T. C. Murphy and after ex- blaming the disappearance Of the $5 asked him to arrest Armstrong Murphy ac- companied Stevens to his room and placed Armstrong under arrest. He took him to the patrol box on the corner and while waiting for the wagon a small boy called Murphy'S attention to the fact that his prisoner had something in his mouth. throat, but Armstrong was too quick for him and with a desperate effort swal- lowed something which Stevens declared was his 8 gold piece. Armstrong was taken to the City Prison and charge of grand larceny was booked against him.

Ignorance of Men From the Orient Comes Near Result
 ing in Death.
They Hire Re on1 at the Occid ental Blow Out the Gas and
 Retire.

When W. Takasi and T. Ito registered at the Occidental the other day George Hooper, supposing that two such prom fnent officials of progressive Japan knew as much as the average 1O-year-oid Amer ican youth assigned them rooms on the first floor taking no further precautions than were necessary for their comfort in the matter of bedding, ice water, etc. Now George knows better and when other Oriental diplomats and statesmen put in an appearance the meter will be shut off and nurses provided.
 Takasi who is the newly appointed representative of the Mikado at Chicago. and Ito, who is on his way to inspect the cruiser which the Cramps are building at their works for Japan, arrived on the Doric Monday and after escaping the deadly smallpox went to the Occidental where yesterday morning they nearly met their death from the no leSS ueauiy SdS- cock. .., s.
 The two gentlemen were up until after 1 o'clock yesterday morning receiving ana entertaining friends to whom they bade good night, retiring soon after to room 2S. which they occupied together as sleeping apartment.
 a chambermaid passing their door mo- ticed strong odor of escaping gas and notified the porter, who in turn aroused George Hooper from his slumbers. MT. Hooper at once proceeded to the room and forcing admittance discovered one Jap seated on a chair near the window and the other lying in a semi i-conscious con- dition on the bed.
 Dr. George Franklin Shiels, who Is liv- ing in the house, was at once summoned. He found no difficulty in restoring the man on the chair, who was but slightly overcome, but his companion on the bed was in a very badly cyanosed condition and 1t took several hours of hard work to bring him around.
 From what can be learned through the medium of an interpreter it seems that the two foreigners upon retiring turned the gas down low and then blew 1t out as they would lamp, with the result that they nearly lost their lives from asphyx- iation.
