teen-mile motor-paced race.
VIII Stinson, of Cambridgeport, Mass,
has not been seen here, and the follow
ers of the sport are looking forward to
his coming with considerable pleasure He
is great rider. He defeated the clever
Johnny Nelson in the twenty-five mile

beat Stinson only three times this season,
the third time being Wednesday night at

BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIPS.
National Event Will Be Held at
Buffalo in January.
Canadian Crew Decides Not to Row
a Special Race With the NesperS
Pnris Crew-PotOmncs at Harlem
Smonr the RacinE Cyclists.

The officers and members Of the EXecu-
tive Committee of the American Bowling
Congress held their annual meeting last
week at Buffalo The most important
business transacted was the selection OF a
ulace for holding the annual national
tournament \ number Of cities desired
the honor, but Buffalo was ready with
az ,ffer and the extra inducement of hav-
ing a 5000 guarantee on deposit by Octo-
bcr !. This guarantee promptly decided
the committee in favor of the Rainbow
CITY. The tourney will be held during the
third week of January.
Among the well-known leaders in bowl
ing at the meeting were: Samuel karpf.
Of Dayton; w V. Thompson, Chicago;
Frank H. Brill, a. w. Williamson, Cleve-
land. ard c. II. Everiy. st. Louis.
WILL NOT ROW PARIS CREW.
The Vesper Boat Club eight of Philadel-
phia. the winner Of the worlds champion
ship at Paris last year. was evidently
caught mapping at the recent national re-
gatta, as both the Atgonauts and Winni-
pegs beat them out in the big event. There
is a difference of opinion among rowing ex-
perts as to whether the crew held its op-
pnnents too lightly, relying upon what
it had accomplished a year ago, and de-
pended upon this to carry it through, or
whether the crew was really out of condi-
ton after an earnest effort to be in the
best possible shape for the event.
Whatever the decision of the experts
may be, the fact remains that the crew
awakened to the realization that it had
lost prestige. and that the national honors
il hoped for were this time wrested from
il by superior crews.
Not satisfied with it's showing in the
race. the Vesper Club Immediately sought
to arrange a match race with the Argo-
nauts. Barker. the captain of the latter,
at once set to work and secured the CON
sent of his club for a special race. to be
rowed at the Canadian Rowing AssOcia-
tion's regatta this month. This was very
clever on the part of the Canadians, as
under the circumstances they have every
thing to lose and nothing to gain in such
a race. This sort of generosity is rather
unusual and is worthy of remark
After the match race had been arranged
and after the Argonauts had become set
tied ON their own river. reports ii is said
were circulated-whether with or without
the clubs knowledge is not known-that
the cause of the Vespers defeat was due
to their boat being broken
Upon enquiry the Argonauts were ad-

MYSTERY IN A PISTOL SHOT.
A South Washington SaIoonfst Held
for Dischnrgfng Revolver

Some mystery surrounds the firing of n
pistol last night in the saloon of Harry
Kearney, corner of First and Canal
Streets southwest. The proprietor is un-
der arrest at the Fourth precinct station
and Sergeant Dunnigan and his men are
trying to learn the facts in the case
Kearney Is charged with discharging fire
arms in the street
All that is positively know of the af-
fair is that Kearney was found in
rear room Of his saloon, apparently
drunk. with revolver sticking out of
his hip pocket. Sergeant Dunnigan
took posse ssion of the revolver and
sent hearney to the station in the
patrol wagon. Enquiries were made
by the police of the bartender Of
the saloon and others TO learn more
Of the shooting. but with no success. 1t
appears that kearney, while seated on a
chair in the little rear room. fired one or
possibly two shots, but whether he shot
at anybody or not no one Is ready to say
The shooting created much excitement
in the ueighborhood and a crowd gath
cred. II was at first said somebody had
been shot and the bartender in the sa
loon could only say he knew nothing at
all about the matter. kuarney VIII prob
ably give collateral this morning for his
release pending trial.

COAL AND POTATOES HIGHER.
Prices Likely to Go soaring During
the Present Month.

Householders who have an eye for
economy are stocking their coal bins Tor
the winter at the present time in antici-
patton of an increase in the price OF coal
on September /. 1t is expected that the
Coal Trust will at that time make what
will be the sixth advance of 10 cents per
ton. in as many months. Since April !,
the rniddlemen have been obliged to pay
steadily increasing rate for coal. At
the present time the quotations are 81
cents higher than they were before April
l. but the retail price has remained the
same. The last advance OF 10 cents per
tor went into effect on August py order
OF the Coal Trust
Local retail dealers anticipate another
advance on September l, and say they will
then be Obliged to advance the price to
the consumer. At present all ordinary va
/ rieties of coal quote at S615 per ton. Fur
mace coal is $3.50 per ton. The advance
on September ] will be considerable. In
case no advance is made by the trust
nc increase will be made in retail quota
tions. There IS little doubt. however, that
the trust will make an advance.
A New York statistcian has complied
figures showing the estimated profits of
the Coal Trust from the increase In the
price of coal. and the relation which the
the capitalists. The estimate is as fol-
lows:
Annual wages of the miners before the
strike, S51.1tJ, ,9oo; strike won them an in
crease of 10 per cent. s5,0o0.05O; annual pro-
duction of anthracite coal in tons, 50OS,-

crease OF miners wages, S5,05O,e00 S20,-

Another commodity which is soaring
away up toward record-breaking prices
is potatoes No trust is, however re-
sponsible for the fact that Washington
lanS are obliged to pay s.. 40 barrel for
potatoes, at the present time, instead of
the normal figure. s2. The wet spring
and the dry. hot summer have caused
shortage in the crops of the North In
New York, the price of potatoes per lar
rel is S4.25 and $3.50. Shippers who sup
ply the Northern marketT are cutting
great swath in the Maryland crop. A
large part Of the Maryland potato crop
comes ordinarily to Washington for sale
This year shippers are stopping the far
mers' wagons on the roads. and even buy
ing the crops before they are raised The
potatoes are barreled and sent to New
York and other Northern points with the
result that the Washington market is
short. More than that. the market men
say. they do not know where they are
gong 10 get any more good potatoes. The
Western crop, which is reported to be
quite poor this year. will bring some re
lief. but until the shipments begin. the
prices of the almost indispensable article
will go even higher.

FOR A RAILWAY RECEIVER.
II. ii. Phillips Begins Suit Against
Philadelphia Capitalists.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Aug. 3.-Judge C.
L. Nicol heard in vacation at Manassas
today proceedings in the suit for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Wash
ington, Arlington and Falls Church Rail-
way Company. The proceedings were in
stituted by r. Henry Phillips. through
his counsel, James e. Clements, Com
monwealth ATTORNEY of Alexandria
County.
Mr.. Phillips was the original promoter
of the road and is a large stockholder,
and until few weeks ago was general
manager He claims that he was unlaw-
fully deposed as manager; that he was
the only director OF stockholder. and un-
til a few weeks age was the roads gen
eral manager; that lie was the only di-
rector or stockholder who lives in Vir-
ginia, where the corporation is, and that
the books and papers of the company
have been ordered from the Virginia Of
fee to an office in Philadelphia.
He alleges that the company has broken
an agreement with him and jeopardized
the value of his stock and interest in the
road. The road is now dominated. he
declares, by few men in Philadelphia,
regardless of the rights of residents or
Virginia stockholders, and that these
dominant parties are doing and perform
ing acts contrary to law and to the great
damage of the interest OF the company
and its stockholders.
He further charges that the company
neglected to hold its annual meeting in
June last and neglected to prepare the
accounts required by law. The president
and secretary of the company. he says
who live and have their offices in Phiia-
delphia, prepared misleading report of
the earnings and expenses of the com,
pany for the year ended February l, and
returned this report to the Auditor of
Virginia about June /. The president of
the company and the other officers in
control in Philadelphia. he asserts. have
without authority. taken from the treas
urer of the company over S9i shares OF
capital stock in payment of alleged ser
vices rendered.
