Special to the Register.

Detective Finley, of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, is here trying
to locate the thieves who stole the
goods, which were found yesterday,
from a B. & o. car while the train was
in motion. Whoever did it must have
known the road well and jumped
aboard the train near Eaton's tunnel,
where it runs very slowly for some dis
lance. 1t is said that there is a party
near Kanawha station who claims to
have seen the goods thrown from the
train and to have seen the man who
threw tnem off So far no one has
been discovered who was probably the
guilty party. A search warrant was
secured for the premises of the Postle-
waits who owns the boat in which the
goods were found, but nothing of an
discriminating nature was discovered
there.

NOW FOR THE FALL RACES.

Although Cresceus did not shatter his
record in his race Thursday with The
Abbot, that is not surprising. for it is
wonderful record, and the magnifi-
cent horse can afford to lay back on his
laurels for awhile.
He has reduced the worlds trot-
ting-race record from 2:O51s to 2:05,
and the worlds trotting record against
time to 2;02A. In the latter mile he
made the half mile in O:59&, the only
time horse of his gait ever did such a
thing.
He may do better in the fall 1t is
pointed out that September is usually
the record-breaking month on the race
tracks. Which reminds one that our
own State Fair will be held in Sep
TENDER and that the Fair Grounds track
is one of the fastest in the country.
