he would ship this grandson Of Alirth-

Madden when approached by L Y. Bell.
as the great colt cooled out afterward.
All who saw Acefulrs Junior Champ
ion performance will readily acquiesce
In Maddens opinion. Acefull has been
slow to come on. That he Is the very
best colt OF the year there can be little
doubt
Lord Of tho Vale ran Savable to a
head finish. while Aoefull simply gal
loped away from the Belmont colt yes

Acefull is the colts great size, which
means weight-carrying capability, and
his proneness to run q distance. Both
these qualities generally go a long
way In making a Derby winner. Both
Madden and the Messrs. Whitney and
Duryea are anxious that an American
Jockey should have the mount on Ace
full in the Derby. Although the date OF
the great race is too remote to permit
OF a definite statement. still Madden
believes Acefull's rider in the Derby at
Epson will be one OF three jockeys

surely slated for q start in the famous
English classic tremendous enthusiasm
Will be awakened on both sides Of the
Atlantic. The turf world In general

These country stores. by the way, are

is nothing like them elsewhere. Every
Saturday night the truck hands" who
are invariably negroes, gather at these
stores IN vast numbers and from I
o'clock until midnight there Is a crush
that is utterly Undesirable. The smell
is SO intense It can almost be heard.
The noise is a babel comparable only
to that Of a Bloodfield '.1oint'' on a
Saturday night. Money is spent freely.
but time is spent even more freely
Some Of the negroes arrive at the store
by o'clock, and do not leave until
the doors are barred. Negro women
hang around, take snuff and grin amaz-

ordinary negro women: others are ex-
traordinary. Some may not be describ-

The accordion is much in evidence on a
Saturday night and there Is wonderful
clog dancing.
1t is the usual thing along about 10
o'clock for a small ring to be formed
near the stove. The musician takes his
seat on a soap box and the performance
begins. Two negroes get into the ring
and dance opposite each other. The one
who introduces the greatest variety and
the most grotesque steps gets the larger
share Of applause. The odoriferous mob
surges back and forth and in and out:
there Is much craning OF necks, violent

Causes Senators to Exchange Warm
Remarks-Witness to Be PrOsecu-
ted for Perjury.
Washington, May 27.-Capt. Freder-
lex Mcdonald continued his statement
before the Philippine Committee to-day
and presented official statements to re-
flute the testimony of Corpl. O'Brien.
Senator Rawlins said the statements
were unnecessary to refute O'Brien.
Senator Dietrich retorted that if
O'Brien's statement had been suppress
ed at the point where the minority
wanted it enough would have leaked
out to give designing politicians an
opportunity to make use of it.
Mr.. Rawlins sharply resented this
remark and said if he could not be
protected in the committee he would
remain away. Chairman Lodge stated
that Senator Dietrich's remark was not
in order, and the latter responded that
he did not intend to call highminded
senators designing politicians. All
reference to the incident was then
stricken from the record.
Capt. Mcdonald was questioned con-
corning the taking of prisoners, and
also the burning of some towns. He
said he gave orders to burn several
towns which were hostile country and
sheltered ladrones and insurgents.
Water Cure Not Serious.
Senator Culberson entered upon line
of questions to bring out the witness
information concerning the administra-
ton of the water cure. Mcdonald said
he had never except on one occasion
been a witness to this process. and that
this occasion was the one in which the
presidente of Igbarras was subjected
to this treatment. He said that he I'M
derstood the prisoner had been given
the cure upon Capt. Glenns orders for
the purpose of eliciting information,
which was secured. Capt. Mcdonald
said the water was forced into the
mans stomach with syringe. but
that he was not badly hurt, as he
soon afterward mounted his horse and
rode into the mountains with the
troops.
Capt. Mcdonald notified the commit
tee that he intended to ask that CorpI.
O'Brien be prosecuted by the federal
authorities for perjury. and Senator

Richmond. Va, May 27.-Two dead
and four injured is the result of a To-

to-day. The accident occurred on the
tracks of the Atlantic Coast Line, the
engine being attached to train No. 81,
a local freight, which left this city
at sos a. m. for Rocky Mount. N. C.
The cause of the explosion is a matter
of conjecture. A coroner's jury has
been summoned and will try to fix the
responsibility.
The dead men are Robert G.. Wath,
mey, engineer, 27 years old, of Man.
chester, and James Wingate. Those
injured are John Taylor colored, fire.

John Moody. conductor, slightly in

scalded about head and body.
Engineer Gwathmey was killed in

few hours. The injured who survive
we're on the first car behind the en-
CINE when the explosion came. They
were thrown off into the air, and were
unconscious when picked up later
Taylor. the fireman, was blown a con-
siderable distance, too, and lay still
