KENTUCKY TURF SCANDAL
DAN O'BRIEN's SECOND STATEMENT
Is NOT sUBsTANTIATED.
Cresceus Makes n Good Track Record
Results of the Days Races on
the Running Tracks.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 16.-The sup
Elementary committee appointed to further
investigate the turf scandal made the fol-
lowing report at a meeting Of the breeders
and trainers:
1--WE. members Of the committee and con-
tinuing committee for the further investi-
cation of the moving Of the three-eighths
pole on the Lexington race track, with in
tent to sell upon a false time test the Wag-
ner-Margaret Jane colt, do hereby report
that we have diligently investigated all av-
enues Of further investigation, and have
taken a mass Of statements in evidence,
which we herewith return, and we fail
definitely TO connect any new parties with
the attempted fraud. the evidence connect
ing the names of others being uncorrob-
orative."
The previous report placed the entire
blame upon Trainer Dan O'Brien. His tes-
timony. which was read to the breeders,
differed from that given before the previ-
Gus committee, when he assumed all blame.
His new testimony involved several others
as having knowledge of the cheat. He
said he told Owners Engman and Wilker
son that there would have to be some
cheating done, and that Phil Chinn sug-
gested moving the pole to him. The COM
mittee declared that these charges were
proven to be without foundation.

WRECKED WITH DYNAMITE
FAST TRAIN DERAILED on THE
NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILWAY.
No One Injured-Escape of the Intend
ing Robbers-CoIIision on the Great
Western-Other

YORK, Pa, Nov. 16.-The Southwestern
express on the Northern Central Railway,
due in this city at 1O4O p. m. was wrecked
last night by a charge of dynamite placed
under the tracks near Black Ridge. a short
distance north of York. The train was
running at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour when the explosion occurred.
Passengers on the train were severely
shocked, and CONSERVATION prevailed. All
escaped injury. A piece Of rail two and
a half feet long was blown out OF the
track and three coaches were derailed and
drawn over the ties L distance of 200 feet
before the train was brought TO a stop.
The engine had its headlight blown eff
and the windows of the cab were shattered.
The trucks under the express car and the
day coach were badly wrecked.
Four Pullman cars, a day coach, a COM
bination car and an express car composed
the train. The spot where the wreck &C.
Cured is surrounded 10y high hills on one
side and the Codorous creek on the other,
and is one of the ~ioneliest places between
Harrisburg and Baltimore. 1t is believed
the object of the perpetrators was robbery.
The police officials advance the theory that
the robbers had set the dynamite for the
Buffalo express, which is said to carry
considerable money, but for some unac-
cOuntable reason the train PASSED over the
charge without exploding il.
A hole was blown into the roadbed large
enough to bury a man Where the rails
were broken they were cut Off as IL done
by shears. The passengers were greatly
shocked, many throwing themselves on the
floors Of the cars until the train stopped.
A panic prevailed among the passengers
until they were assured that the danger
was over.
Railroad detectives and the city police
are actively engaged in a search for the
guilty parties. Every portion of this city
and territory adjacent to the Northern
Central Railway is being closely secured
and every suspicious character is under
surveillance. 1t is generally believed that
the perpetrators escaped on a night train
and found a safe harbOr in a neighboring
city before daylight.
superintendent Kapp, of the Baltimore
division of the Northern Central Railway,
came to York to-day and made a thorough
investigation of the wreck of the South
western express. On concluding his in
vestigatiOns Superintendent Kapp said that
undoubtedly an attempt had been made TO
wreck the train for the purpose OF rob-
berry. At 3 o'clock this afternoon il was
announced that a clew had been discov-
cred which may result in an arrest before
the night is over.

NEW YORK, Nov 16.-The market seems
TO be very irregular and largely at the

the first five minutes it looked as If the

its appearance, more especially IN Manhat-

heavy for the rest Of the session. There
was the same selling of Western Union
that has been going on for some days, and
the indications are that the selling is com

The banks now hold $40, 1O3, S25 in excess
of reserve requirements under the % per
cent. rule.
The Financier says: $50 far as those
movements of money during the week
which affected the bank statement could be
traced the banks gained S1,00O,00O 1t is
noteworthy that the gain by the banks
through the receipts of new gold and the
interior movements which . together
amounted to 81, 624, 400, more than Offset the
gold exports to Europe, which were $780,
500, the difference being S21, 500. Moreover.
the banks gained through new gold and
disbursements for bonds $6.914. zoo, while
they lost through the financial operations
of the subtreasury and gold exports 1858. 700.
showing a net loss to the banks Of only
$449, 900. The bank statement showed a
net gain of 1896, 200 in cash, an amount some
what surprisingly close to the above noted
estimate. Tn return was affected, Of
course, by the various Items reported by
the Seventh National Bank, which resumed
business this week. Loans were reduced

exchange borrowings, and deposits We're
decreased 81, 1884, 500. In consequence of this
lessening Of reserve requirements by ST.

reserve was increased $1,413, 800, now stand
ing at $40, 10S. S25. The bank statement was
made on rising averages for cash, there
having been paid on Friday 20.019 for I'M
matured bonds received at the subtreasury
on that day. 1t is expected that bond pur-
chases will be large, at least during the
early part of the current bank week, for
more than 100000 will then be offered TO
the treasury. The resulting improved con-
dition of the banks at the beginning of
the week will tend largely to counteract
any adverse effect which may be produced
by the Withdrawals of gold for export, even
though such shipments should begin On
Tuesday. Another favorable influence
which will be exerted is the offerings of
funds which doubtless will be attracted
hither from neighboring cities, such as
Boston and Philadelphia, should call loan
rates rule firm. The bankers who are
largely interested in the Northern Securi-
ties Company's group of stocks were among
the most liberal lenders of money last
week, and they doubtless will seek TO pre-
vent the maintenance of high rates while
they are engaged in marketing their prop
~erties."

Little Hope for a Capture.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-Reports Of
the dastardly attempt to wreck the South
western express on the Northern Central
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad were
received at the Office of the company this
morning and steps were at once taken to
locate the m~iscreants, if possible. Detec-
tives were ordered TO begin operations from
York and men were also sent from this
city and Harrisburg. There is little hope
here that the dynamiters will be captured,
as it is thought they undoubtedly made
their way to one of the large cities before
daylight. The wrecked train is the South
ern express. which left Washington at S:45
last night and was due in P~ittsburg this
morning.
