RESULTS OF The RACES
ABE FRANZ THE OF THE
TENNESSEE CLUE PURSE.
Ten Derby Candidates Contested for
the Prize-Winners at the Oak
land and Bennings Tracks.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. April 1.-George Ben
nett's crack three-year-old colt, Abe Frank,
made his first appearance of the year this
afternoon in the third race at Montgomery
Park, and justified the confidence of his
hackers by winning in a romp. The race
was at six furlongs, and ten derby candi-
dates faced the starter. Charles w. Meyer
jumped to the front at the start and set
a fast pace down the back stretch. closely
followed by Red Hook. When the turn was
made Coburn sent Abe Frank forward, and
the derby favorite drew away as he pleased,
winning handily in good time. II was the
general opinion that, barring a mishap, the
Bennett colt has the derby at his mercy.
The day was an ideal one for racing. and
the track was at it's best. The first event,
a selling race at five furlongs, went to
Clorita at long odds. The second race, for
two-year-olds at four furlongs. showed a
good two-year-old from the Schorr stable
in Gold Bell. by Gold Crest. Of none too
we'll, the colt ran around his field and won
pulled up from the Advocate. The Lady
won the fourth race. at a mile. after a
hard drive down the stretch with Felix
Bard, the favorite. The latter should have
won, but was badly handled. The fifth
event was a stee~plechase over the short
course. Daryl opened favorite, but a strong
play on Henry Gibbs sent his price down at
the close. Gibbs led his field over all the
hurdles. and looked to be winning easily.
but Daryl came with a rush and nipped
him at the post: In the sixth race Chorus

second choice. Neither were In the money
at the finish, Curd Gillock winning by a

Special to the indianapolis journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind. April 1.-De Pauw
will be represented this year by a regular
track team of fifteen men, which will COM
pete with some of the best teams in the
State. Professor Chez has arranged a dual
meet with Indiana University TO be held
at Bloomington on May 3. He also is cor
responding with Wabash and Earlham for
a meet at each Of these colleges. AS De
PAW has no track the Methodists cannot
act the host in events of this kind and
nave the arrangements satisfactory to
those who have been accustomed TO good
accommodations in these matters. How
ever, a local field day will be given here
early in the season to pick the team for the
other contests. All those who win a first
in the home contest will be sure OF making
a place on the team that goes abroad. The
team also will be sent to Terre Haute,
where the State Intercollegiate meet will
be held during the latter part of May. De
Pauw stands a good show for several first
places In this contest.
Among those who are showing up well I'm

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE National

at the Fffth-avenue Hotel what has been
termed a peace conference. 1t was very
late before the meeting began. A. ]. Reach,
of Philadelphia, just before the magnates
got together summed up the situation thus
There must be no mistakes made at this

The meeting was called to order by n. E..
Young. There were present A. H. Soden
and w. b. Billings. of Boston; Col. John
/. Rogers and A. j. Reach, Philadelphia; +.
A. Abel. Charles Ebbetts and Ned Hanlon,
Brooklyn; Andrew Freedman, New York;
James Hart, Chicago; Barney Dreyfuss and
Harry Pulliam, Pittsburg; John T. Brush,
Cincinnati, and Frank De Hass Robson,
ST. Louis.
The presence of Ed b. Talcott, former
owner OF the New York club. at the hotel
during the day gave rise to considerable
speculation. 1t was surmised that he might
be induced to take part again in the game.
To-day was the first time in a number of
years that Mr.. Talcott has been present
during a League meeting. He said: Il
have just come back TO New York and
dropped in TO look things over and talk to
some OF my old baseball friends. l shall
probably remain in the city until the meet
ing is ended" He said he had not been
offered the presidency of the League.

The meeting adjourned In an hour, and,
according to President Young. was per-
fectly harmonious. Mr.. Young said the
magnates unanimously chose him chair
man and at once took up the matter of the
playing schedule. Three were submitted
one by himself, one by Robson, of st.

at to-night's meeting.
John NJ. Ward, Alfred Riddle, Col. John l..
Rogers and Mr.. Northrup, counsel, re-
Spalding and the Philadelphia and Pitts
burg clubs, held a conference at the hotel
tonight and decided to take an appeal from
Justice Truax's decision in the baseball in
junction case. In a decision handed down
last Saturday Justice TruaX overruled Mr..
Spalding's demurrer to the complaint in
the Injunction suit. He gave Spalding per-
mission, however, to file an answer to the
suit upon the payment of costs.

BY ACCIDENT.
Utilization of Water Power by Simple
Means Long Undiscovered.
WASHINGTON Post.

washington Post.
I'm searching the history of invention
and science we generally find that the
most wonderful discovery is at the same
time the most simple instrument" said Mr..
Albert Demath, Of Ipswich, Mass. The
latest discovery CT which l have recently
learned Is that. given an ordinary wind
mill wheel and a stream running five miles
an hour and put the wheel in the stream so
that the current can turn the wheel. unlim-
tied power can be secured for any purpose.
Why machinistS. investors. scientists, or
whoever occupies the province from which
such a discovery should come, have not
thought of this thing before is beyond my
comprehension. According to my informa-
tion, these wheels can be placed I'm sets.
and with only five miles an hour. mind. no
faster than the current in many OF our
rivers runs daily, sufficient power can be
generated TO light and heat the largest
city in the world and have sufficient power
left for industrial purposes. Ii has been
discovered that the screw-built wheel, Ike
the screw propeller OF the steamboat. will
give more power than the ordinary paddle
wheel. The discovery OF this remarkable
fact came about in a very curious way.
A L have II, a windmill on a farm up
in Massachusetts was blown over by a
storm, and the wheel fell into a stream OF
water sufficiently deep to submerge the en-
tire wheel. The frame structure that had
supported the wheel was not injured in
the accident. and the machinery that
worked the pump was found practically in
tact. When the farmer visited the scene
of the accident he was surprised TO find
the pump working as TX mad never worked
before. The long sucker rod was being
forced in and out OF the damaged pump so
fast that II could not be seen, and there
was apparently no reason why IL should be
working. On examination the farmer found
that the wheel under the water was being
revolved by the current at a very rapid
rate, and that the power this generated
seemed TO be steady. The farmer was an
ingenious fellow, and he promptly set about
TO find a method Of making the power thus
generated useful 10 him. In time he found
he could do. almost anything he desired
with il, and he had a wheel constructed in
the water, with an electric dynamo at the
end. The electricity generated was SUM-
cient TO do all the work that could be done
with such power about a farm, and in ad-
dition TO this furnished light for the farm
er's stables.
Scientists have interested themselves in
the matter and have found that by string
ing several wheels together with a common
shaft. power 10 the extent of 500 horse
power could be generated with one shaft.
and the sets of wheels could be placed side
by side in a stream with only q space or
a few feet between them. each working
separately and generating the same amount
OF power. The principal is the same thai
was involved in the old mill wheel. but II IL
used on an entirely new plan without the
use OF turbines, such as are used at Nj
agara and wherever great bodies Of water
are harnesSed.'

No Marked Changes I'm Minnesota

ST. PAUL. Mimi, April Municipal
elections held to-day in the third-class
cities of the State did not result I'm any
marked political changes. In many of the
cities party lines were abandoned entirely,
while in others where the party alignment
was maintained the contests were made
upon local issues only. Some OF the con-
tests were very spirited, and at st. Peter
resulted in a victory for Mayor Mueller,
the Incumbent, by one vote over Andrew
Carlson. The Democrats elected a mayor
and a majority of the aldermen at Fart
bault, which is normally Republican, and
were also successful at Wabasha. The
Republicans elected their entire ticket at
Anoka. Albert Lea and New Ulm. At
Fergus Falls the citizens ticket scored a
victory over the working mems ticket; Ii
cense carried and a proposition to issue
bonds for electric lighting purposes was
defeated.

but within two hours after the alarm had
been turned I'm the warehouses and their
contents had been destroyed. The flames
were first discovered i'm a twO-stOry build
