FAST STEPPERS SAVED.
Fire at Empire City Track-Ssoift
and Gatc0mb String IN Danger.

One of the large stables in the rear OF the
grandstand on the Empire City Track property
near Mount Vernon, was burned early yesterday
and thirty fast trotters. belonging to New-York
horsemen were saved from being burned to
death through the quick action of Secretary A
Reeves of the Empire City Trotting Club. and a
couple of trainers. The building destroyed was
300 feet long and thirty feet wide and con-
tanned nineteen box stalls. Secretary Reeves
says he thinks the fire started from cigarette
dropped by some careless stableman.
The fire started in that compartment OF the
stable occupied by the horses of Charles Ware,
the Mount Vernon dealer There strong
rumor current yesterday that discharged en-
ploye of Mr.. Ware set the stable on fire in q
spirit Of revenge. Superintendent Treanor would
make no statement regarding this theory, but the
Police and Fire Department authorities are in
Vestigating it.
The fire was discovered by Ebert Reynolds,
trainer for C. c. Lloyds. and with Secretary
Reeves and other employees they dashed into the
building knocked the locks off the stall doors,
and at the risk of their lives drove the horses
from the burning building. Swift the fast trot-
ter. was the first mare rescued. The released
animals became panicstriCken and for a time
the Empire City track resembled the Western
plains, with the horses running wildly about.
jumping fences at the track and kicking at
trainers who tried to catch them.
Trainers at great risk ran into the stable and
saved James Y. GatcOmb's string of trotters.
valued at over $4,000. Tie string included
Prince Of Orange, Wainscott, Audubon Boy and
Elderone. While the big barn burning
William Strut, father-in-law of Secretary
Reeves, and Edward Tison. formed a bucket
brigade and, climbing the roof of the stable
containing the fast steppers of James Butler
and c. c. Lloyds, dashed water on the wood
work and saved it from destruction, although it
was only one hundred feet away. The loss to
the trotting club is about S1O,OOO.

MANS BODY IN SUBWAY.
Head Cut and Ribs Crushed, but the
Police Say Suicide.

The body of Simon Gretton, fifty-four years
old, of No. 100 West Ninety-ninth-st.. was 1ouhd
by William Cherry. of No. 1913 West Ninety
eighth-st at the bottom of the Rapid Transit
subway excavation, at MISUNDERSTANDING
st. and Broadway. at an early hour yesterday
morning Cherry reported to the police or the
West northumberland police station, who. on
investigating, found that Grettons ribs were
crushed and that there wound on his
scalp. These injuries they believed. had been
caused by accidentally falling into the excaVa-
ton, where his body found.
Detectives Stein and Seaton, detailed on the
case. reported last night that there was no evil
dence of foul play in the death of Gretton. The
contents of his pockets appeared to have been
undisturbed. and the detectives said it was plain
he had not been attacked for the purpose OF
robbery
The dead man had been carpenter and
member OF Local Union No "a. According to
the police. he had been out of work, owing to
the strike.
The police of the West one-hundredth-st. sta
tion later announced that they had discovered
evidence which tended to show that Simon
Gretton had committed suicide by jumping into
the subway excavation yesterday morning. De-
tective Seaton found two men who had talked
with Gretton on Saturday afternoon, on a, bench
in Riverside Park. GrettOn, the men say, spoke
feelingly Of his unfortunate condition, and said
that the building tie-up killing him. He
had been idle so long. he said, that he wished
he were dead.
The position of the mans body when found
would indicate that he jumped, feet foremost,
into the deep excavation, and fractured several
ribs in falling besides sustaining scalp WOUNDS
and abrasions all over his body. The body was
standing erect with the feet sticking In the
mud. The subway excavation at this point IS
deeper than at any point the uptown route.

There is absolutely nothing doing
in the local hop market this week.
There seems to be a general inclina-
tion among growers to hold for the
opening Of the English market and
higher prices What few hops have
been sold to dealers are Of exceptional
quality and the buyers wanted them
badly The highest price that has
been paid in Dallas is rs cents, but
253 has been offered for few extra
quality hops. The hops in this dis
trict are of exceptionally fine quality
and the Dallas growers expect to OBJ
tain good price for their crops. Local
buyers expect to make few purchases
until the opening of the English
market.
