The Derby was the fourth on the

Mazo, Manuel, His Lordship, Corsine
and Fontainebleu came in the turn in
the order named and each was ap-
plauded, even Fontainebleu, who was
not friendless.
Starter Chinn had little trouble in
getting them away, for on the first
break the flag went down and the
struggle for the honors of the twenty
fifth Kentucky Derby was on. They
were all in motion and punched when

the good and Fontainebleu second, the
others well up. After few strides
Turner took His Lordship to the front
and cut out the running past the stand
and down to the turn. He was leading
by half length when they straight
ened out for their run down the back
stretch. Manuel meanwhile had occu-
pied a comfortable position in third
place, but after they had completed the
first half mile of the journey Taral
took him to the front and soon had an
advantage by half length, with His
Lordship second, COrsine third, Mazo
fourth, and Fountainebleu last. As
they rounded the turn into the stretch
Corsine moved up to second and Tom
my Burns began work on the winner
of the California Derby. The son OF
Riley was half a length behind Manuel
when they began the final run down
the stretch, with Mao third, His Lord

up the rear. These positions were
maintained down the stretch and to the

an old wound over Gardeners right eye,

Albany, n. ", Lay 4.-Gov. Roose-
welt to-day gave a hearing on the ap-
plication for pardon for Henry Hen
bricks, who is serving a life sentence
in Auburn prison for the killing of his
wife, whom he shot to death because
of his mad infatuation for another wo-
man. Hendricks, who is sixty years
CID, has served twenty-five years of his
sentence. The Governor denied the ap-
plication. He said that to impose a
life sentence upon man of Hendricks's
calibre was miscarriage of justice
by pardoning the wife murderer. After
shooting his wife, according to the evil
dence' adduced at the hearing, Hen
bricks shot himself twice in the leg.
to advance the theory that the murder
had been the result of an attack by
burglars. He bungled at his work.
however, and badly burned his thumb.
On the trial the jury stood IL to / for
conviction for murder in the first de-
gree, but the odd man remained firm
in his position; a compromise was af-
fected whereby Hendricks received a
life sentence.
From the remarks made by the Gov
ernor. wife murderers, wife heaters
and those who cruelty treat children

if such bill is introduced in the Leg

COMPARATIVELY QUIET.

At Benwood during the day the po-
lice experienced little difficulty in
maintaining order and things passed off
comparatively quiet. At late hour
one of the motormen at the barns re-
ported that a car had been stoned at
Schad's crossing some time after dark,
and that several window panes had been
broken. There was nothing of unusual
occurrence at the barns in Upper Ben

KENTUCKY DERBY
Manuel, Ridden by Toral. Won the $4,000
Stake.

Stake.
Louisville, KY, May 4.-The East
triumphed to-day, when the scarle.
colors of A. H. & d. H. Morris came
first under the wire in the twenty-fifth
Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs,
and $4,000 people cheered the son of
Bob Miles as Taral rode into the semi
circle and saluted. 1t could not be
called great race, for the much tout
ed Manuel won as he pleased without
an application of whip or spur or even
a shaking up. 1t was an ideal day for
the big event and all Kentucky seemed
to have turned out to do honor to the
occasion and incidentally back their
own Judgment, for it was a packed
mass OF humanity not only during the
Derby, but from the call of the first
race to the close. Long before the
noon hour people started for Churchill
Downs in smart traps and vehicles of
the Anticipated kind, and when the
fourth race, the Kentucky Derby. to
which so many thousands have been
booking forward with interest thor
oughly characteristic of the Kentuck-
ian, was called, every place of vantage
in stand and paddock had human oc-
cupant. The betting ring was a surg
ing mass and down on a foot ball

STANDING OF CLUBS.

The Youngstown Giants played a
good up hill game and finished strong,
but were compelled to accept defeat in
the first game of the series.
The Giants are a husky lot of play
crs, full of stature, broad of girth and
with plenty of Drawn. They should
occupy position well up in the race
after they strike their gait. They are
not Colts, according to the base ball
definition of that termv Some of them
have voted at four or five general cleo
tons. Veterans require several weeks
to thaw out, and some of the Giants
have not yet rounded into form.
The game was marked by rather
loose fielding on both sides, and I'M
steadiness at critical stages. Cummins
was a trifie wild, but pitched a very
good game while he was being support
ed. Mcfarland could not control the
ball, and was taken out of the box by
Manager TRULY after six runs had
been made by Wheeling in two inn
ings. Heyman, who succeeded him,
pitched very effectively, and kept the
hits scattered, with the exception of
the third inning, when his own error
was partly responsible for the two runs
which we're made. A muffed fly and a
bad throw, both by Berte, in the fifth
inning, gave Wheeling a run, and
Kihm's base on balls was responsible
for another in the sixth
The visitors punched nine of their
hits in three innings. In the third
with one man out, TRULY singled, and
McCredie hit to Poole. The ball
bounded out to right field. Cancels
single brought in TRULY, and McCredie
and CANCEL scored on Berte's triple.
1t was hit under carriage in right
field, which should have been good for
but two bags. Berte scored while Frost
was being retired at first.
In the seventh VanBuren was hit by
q pitched ball, and went to second on
Penders single to right field. He
started to third but changed his mind.
He could have made the bag, but had

hot to handle, and was safe. TRULY

threw to third, but he sent 1t down

In the ninth, the visitors gave
Wheeling scare, and TRULY tried to
persuade the official scorer that he did
not understand his business. Pender
was first up, and was given a pass.
Connors singled to left field. TRULY
sacrificed. McCredie cracked out a
double which brought in two runs.
CANCEL singled to center, and Nc

TALK OK Arbitration
As . Means Of Efseting q Settlement
Of the Strike
WAS GENERAL YESTERDAY - a
VERY STRONG SENTIMENT DE-
VELOPED AMONG PERSONS
WHO ARE NOT DIRECTLY IN
TERESTED. BUT WHO HAVE
BEEN AFFECTED BY THE STU
ATION-INCIDENT OF THE DAY.

Probably the most important deyel-
opment of yesterday in the strike stu
alton. was the growth of the sentiment
favorable to arbitration, as the proper
and most effective method of bringing
about settlement of the differences
between the Wheeling Railway Com
pany and its employees. 1t may not
have been a growth so much as a man
Hesitation of sentiment along this line.
In either event. there was more talk
of arbitration than upon any day since
the beginning of the struggle. The eff
/ forts of the Chamber of Commerce to
induce both sides to arbitrate, resulted
! in failure. for reasons which are gem
orally understood. The men looked
upon the offer with a certain degree of
smistrust, based largely upon their opin-
ion that the committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce was biased. They al
lege that one member of the commit
tee has been director, and is at pres
ent a stakeholder in the Railway Com
pany; and that another has been riding
on the cars.
As matter of fact. however, it
seems unlikely that the men will agree
to arbitration, unless there is a change
of sentiment among them. All OF the
strikers with whom the Register re-
porter talked yesterday, took the posi-
tion that they have nothing to arbi-
trate, and cannot concede anything
less than their present demands. The
issue, from their standpoint, is clearly
defined, and they do not desire a set
Element upon any other basis.
On the other hand, local members of
the Street Railway directory, authorize
the statement that the company is will
ling to submit the questions involved
to fair arbitration, and to the end that
a proper investigation may be made,
is willing to submit its books to such
committee as may be mutually agreed
upon.
In this connection, it was stated last
night that Mayor A. T. Sweeney re-
ceived a communication during the day
from President Mahon, of the National
organization of street railway employees,
asking if he could arrange a con
ference between officials of the COM
pany, and national officials, with a
view to effecting a settlement. The re-
port further says that Mayor Sweeney
ascertained from directors of the COM
pany that such a conference will be
impossible before next week, On account
of the pressure OF business engage
ments.
There has been virtually no change
in the situation. The strikers are
making arrangements for the proposed
labor mass meeting next Wednesday
evening, and are in correspondence
with Eugene V. Debs and other noted
speakers, who will be invited to be
present.
