THE FOURTH AT DELAMAR.

When the light began to come up
i'll the east the people OF Delamar
awakened from their slumber by the
sweet strains of the National airs
played by the Delamar Brass Band
began to realize that the fourth was
upon them and the event promised
to be one Of the most enthusiastic eel
ebration ever held in Delamar.
National salutes of powder were
fred from the adiacant mountains.
At 10 o'clock sharp the people be-
gan gathering at the Vietti Hall
which had been decorated very
nicely by the committee and the
whole town was iesplendent with
the National colors.
Promptly at II o'clock J. A. Den
ton AS chairman made few opening
remarks, and after prayer by Rev.
Darneille the program was carried
out in grand order as follows
Sang my Country IT'S of Thee"
by the children under the. e.able leader
ship of Mrs. Mcdonald.
Mr.. Jim Nesbitt read the Declara-
ton of Independence in good form.
Miss Lille Ahern and Little Lena
Kelley recited beautifully.
Rev. Benz Darnville as orator of
the day was the crowning feature,
he traced in all easy and original
manner the history of our country
from the landing of Columbus to
the present day, making some wise
and thoughtful comments on the
present and probable future of the
country.
The exercises closed by song
Hail Columbia by the Children.
During the afternoon games was
INDUCED in by all and dance given
for the children in the hall, which
was crowded until evening.
At 7 o'clock horse race on the
street amused the people, and later
a Grand Ball at the Vietti hall,
which lasted we II into the morning
of the 9Th closed the celebration.
1t was one of the most enjoya BILE
fourths ever held at DeLamar, and
made SO perhaps because it was an
inpromptu affair and everyone took
interest to make the event success.

way. after having finished seventh and
ninth In the first two heats, took the race
in the three following.
The 2.OS trotting brought out Arion. Lord
Vincent, John Nolan and Grattan Boy. The
conditions of this race were peculiar. each
neat being considered a race for one-third
OF the money. divided. and the horses draw
ing for new positions in each heat. Graf
tan Boy took all three heats and his share
of the money was $3.50.
In the second heat John Nolan "knuckled
over at the turn in break and one of
the bones in his fetlock was broken He
will probably be injured permanently and
retire from the track. Nolan was sold by
j. h. Hubinger this season to O. T. Kent

order around the first turn. but going up

the way to the stretch by scant haif
length as the field closed up. every horse
looking to have a chance.
A hard drive to the wire followed. Ethel
bert gradually wearing down the leaders
on the outside. while Jack Point was clos
ing up with a rush on the rail. In the last
jump Henry got Jack Point UP to Ethel
bert and they crossed the finish line so
close together that the judges could not
separate them Killashandra was only a
neck away, with the others so closely
punched that a blanket could have covered
the lot. The finish brought out a storm OF
cheers.

TOPEKA JoE's" ESCAPE
BREAKS OUT OF JAIL AND Still
AT LARGE.
Richmond Prison Not Proof Against
His Skill-OperatfOns of
Gang of Five.

Joe" Rapley alias Topeka Joe," the al
legged bark burglar, who escaped from the
Richmond, Va, Jail yesterday morning.
where he was held on charge Of having
participated in the robbery Of the Will
iamsburg.. Va. Bank. as published in yes
terday's Star is still at large. The fugt-
tive is we'll known in Baltimore, where he
conducted a saloon on Canton avenue. 1t
was in this saloon. 1t is alleged. that the
robbery Of the Williamsburg Bank was
planned 1t is said that five men were in
the gang, and that they got from several
banks in small towns in Virginia about
10000
Topeka Joe" was suspected by the Pin
kerton detectives of being implicated In
the numerous robberies, and one Of them
was sent to Baltimore to locate the sus-
poets wife. This particular detective fol-
lowed the woman from the Baltimore house
to Portland, Ore, and when her husband
met her he promptly placed him under ar
rest.
1t was less than one month ago that the
detective passed through here with the
prisoner and delivered him to the sheriff
at Williamsburg. Topeka joe had broken
jail five times, 1t was said, and the sheriff.
fearing the county jail would not hold
him, hurried him of to Richmond, where
he was put in cell that had held danger
GUS criminals. A few days ago the pris-
oner telegraphed his brother to send him
$50, but so far as the jail ofi1cials are
aware the money did not arrive before
the prisoner escaped.
Fools the Guard.
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning the pris-
oner was in his cell apparently asleep when
the guard made the rounds of the corri-
doris. One hour later the door of his cell
was found to be open and the cot behind
the bars was not occupied. A wooden key
made from q piece Of broom handle showed
how the lock had been opened, while a
rope with which the fugitive had lowered
himself from the cell window. was also
found. Pieces Of a blanket and bed ticking
had been used in making the rope, which
was fully. thirty feet long.
The five men alleged to have composed
the gang were John Butler alias !" Frisco
Slim who is known as the prince Of bank
burglars; Sam" Richie, Hutch" Kearney,
Topeka Joe" and michigan Red" Until
yesterday morning Michigan Red was the
only one of the party who was at large. and
1t is believed Topeka Joe" left Richmond
to meet him. The five men. 1t is claimed.
were in the habit Of meeting at the Balti-
more saloon kept by Topeka Joe," and
from there they went on fishing expedi-
tions down the bay on yacht. These fish,
ing trips, 1t IL now believed. were taken for
the purpose of going to Virginia and rob-
bling banks.

EASTERN ATHLETICS WON.
Champion Je6ries Prevented From
SparrinE by the Police.

Sha mp1On JeuT1cB IfcVente0 To"
SDarring by the Police.
The double attraction of an interesting
ball game and a sparring match between
Champion Jim Jeffries and Jack Mccormick
drew something like $500 spectators to Ma
tional Park yesterday afternoon. The
sparrng match was barred out by the po-
lice but the game put up by the Eastern
Athletic and Capital City teams. which was
won by the former, the score being to 4,
proved exciting enough to satisfy every
body and very little kicking came from the
onlookers over the action of the police au-
thorities.
Lieutenant Kenney notified the base ball
people in the morning that the fight would
not be allowed, and also the champion and
his manager at the grounds before the base
ball game started. Jeffries went on the
five innings and then retired to put on his
costume to continue the bluff that a
sparring match was coming on. After the
game the announcer introduced Jeffries and
Mccormick and then Lieut.. Kenney pre-
scented a paper to the fighters manager.
After a few seconds confab the paper was
read to the spectators notifying them that
it was against the law to spar In the Dis
trict. and then everybody quietly filed out
of the park While the champion boxer
was doubtless drawing card for the after
noon. most Of the spectators were friends
Of the ball players and would have turned
out to witness the game regardless Of the
added attraction.
There is nothing Of the 'fakr'' about JET
fries. and to a Star reporter, after the
game, he sad that he was sorry he couldn't
give his exhibition, there were doubtless
a few OF his admirers present who wanted
to see him put up his hands. The cham
pion is in excellent condition, giving a black
eye to the assertion that he couldn't get In
shape to meet Fitzsimmons before the Hor-
ton law expired. Jeffries left last night fol-
New York and will Immediately begin re-
haa reals for his theatrical in which
he will star.
The contest between the Easterns and
Capital City was replete with brilliant plays
throughout, the weakness of the latter's
pitcher in the eighth inning allowing the
former to score three runs and "cinch" the
game Stanley, the ex-senator, did the
twirling for the Easterns. and he had his
colored opponents at his mercy throughout
the tallies being made by them In the frs
inning through loose fielding Both teams
are to be commended for the manner In
which they accepted the decisions of the
umpires, not kick being made Throughout
the game.
