PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 1s.-At the
conclusion of today's play in the first Of
the International cricket matches be-
tween the Kent county eleven. of Eng
land. and eighteen Philadelphia colts with
a captain, on the grounds OF the German
town G. G. at Mannheim, the Englishmen
were IN very favorable position. The
colts, who batted first, could score only
70 runs. while the visitors when stumps
runs for the loss Of two wickets. The
wicket was a treacherous one and during
the earlier part of the day all In favor OF
the bowlers. Against such trundlers as
Blythe. Mason and Bradley. the colts
could do but little hitting and their wick
cts fell rapidly. Mason. who bowled elev-
en- overs. took five wickets for seven runs.
Bradley took three Wickets for two runs
and Blythe six for twenty-nine.
For the colts. the leading scores were:
w. F. keenan,, II, and ID. Graham and II.
L. Pearson each. For the Engllshmen
Burnup scored 10. Hearne Q, and Sey-
mour 15 not out.

movement is the inability of the farm
ers to ship their grain. The rains have
delayed threshing at least ten days,
and grain which should have been ship
! ped week ago, is still in the shock
Thousands of cars are lying on the
sidings waiting for the shipments to
begin. The railroads this year provided
for quick shipment by moving all the
cars at their disposal into the wheat
country. So far there has been but
few large shipments OF grain, but it is
expected that next week. if the dry
waether continues, the heavy move
ment will commence.
A number of freight men interviewed
yesterday said that the rain has caus-
ed at least a decrease of 30 per cent
in freight shipments. One said: 1.-The
storm has caused a large decrease in
business in the country towns. OF
course the railroads are the first to feel
the effects of poor trade by curtail-
ment in shipments from the large job
bling centers. 1t has been impossible
for farmers to get to town, on account
of the heavy rains, which have made
the wagon roads practically unpass-
able. OF course when the farmers are
unable to get to market our country
business comes to standstill."

FREIGHT TRAFFIC IS
LESSENED BY RAINS
Storm in Northwestern States
Causes a Curtaiiment in
Shipments.

AS a result of the heavy rains during
the past week, Northwestern railroads
are carrying at least 80 per cent less
freight than the usual consignments
amount to.
All the lines entering st. Paul are
sufferers, as the storm was general
throughout the Northwest and partly
disabled every road operating in this
section. But the decrease in the freight
Is not due to the damage done to the
roadbeds, which in itself amounted to
several thousand dollars. It is the
heavy and muddy wagon roads that
have caused the freight shipments to
shrink.
Farmers have been unable to drive to
town with their products, consequent
ly the general merchandise trade In the
small cities and villages has been
greatly curtailed during the wet spell:
This one cause In itself has made a
large decrease in the freight traffic.
but besides the loss from shipments
from the small towns, there has been a
correspondingly large curtailment of
shipments from the jobbers to the small
cities of the Northwest. for when the
farmers are unable to get to town, the
business of the country merchants is
small.
Another cause for the light freight

the last session of congress those who
favored the move professed to feel certain
that the next session would act favorably
on 1t.
That the railroads are taking a lively
interest in the matter is evidenced by

READVILLE, Mass, Sept. 10. = It
seems probable that but for the slow
ness of the footing in the last 200 yards
the champion harness horse, Dan
Patch, would have succeeded In his at
tempt today to lower his own record Of
mile in 1853, made at Brighton Beach
a few weeks ago.
Paced by one runner the quarter was
made in 80, and the half in :59A
From there on he had the benefit of
two runners, and reached the three
quarters in 1:29H. The record then
seemed to be trembling, but on getting
into the stretch a heavy bit of track
was experienced which tired the PAGER
so much that he reached the wire in
200 fiat.
The trial was delayed until well along
in the afternoon. after nearly all the
events which concluded the race week
of the breeders meeting had been de-
cided. This was done in order to dry
the track as much as possible after
yesterdays rain, and also to take adj
vantage Of the decrease in the wind to-
ward nightfull. 1t was generally be-
lieved that had Dan Patch been ia
vored with the same track conditions
as those which prevailed on Monday
when Mai Delmar made his effort at
the trotting record, the pacing record
would have been broken.
Backers of the favorites in the regular
events were again in hard luck. Oracle

one to win. rhythmic, the blind horse.
in the 2:07 trot. after winning the first
heat tired badly in the home stretch
of the other two and Wentworth won
easily. In this event Prince Of Orange
was the favorite, but never was In the
contest.
In the 2:09 pace, Al Book was picked
to win, but the race developed into
contest between Cubano1a and Gold
Brick The former dropped the first
heat, but took the next two handily.
Beside the effort Of Dan Patch to
lower his record, three other horses,
ali trotters, tried for new marks. Miss
Pratt, a black mare, by Heir-at-Law,
was the only one to win against time.

marriage being one son, who was later
killed in the Civil war.
Becomes a spiritualist

SSNOHiSS a
In January, 1852, according to an in
teresting memoir left by Rev. Crapsey,
great change came into his life In
the words of the record the occurrence
was as follows: 49,
My stepdaughter, Anna Maria
Frantz, was taken sick on the Sth day
of January, 1852. On her deathbed
she laid her hands upon my head and
expressed great love for me, and then
said: oh, pa! Hear that Hear the
spirits rapping!' Ireplied: Yes, hear
them!' and l laid my hands upon her
head and said: 4, Lord Jesus, receive
her spirit and while her spirit was
passing from the body distant shock
passed through every onein the house.
This was my first personal knowledge
of spirits rappings-i"
If the subsequent events chronicled
in Rev. Crapsey,s memoir are to be
credited he soon became familiar with
the spirits and performed miracles.
The memoirs RECOUNT how he prophe-
sled the death of his wife, which oc-
CURED soon AFTER that of his step
daughter; how he healed his son; how
he was himself miraculously cured;
how an empty canoe obeyed his COM
mand and came across river to him;
and how numerous signs and Won
ders' were manifested about him.
Civil War ForetoId in a Vision.
The record of the Rev. Mr.. Crapsey's
experiences, is--trials, prosecutions
triumphs and his quaint manner Of
recording them recalls the prophets in
the scriptures. One of his most notable
prophesies, according to his memoir,
was that in which he foretold the Civil
war ten years before 1t occurred. Be-
ing strong abolitionist, he relates how
the following declaration was made at
a meeting in a school house The Wis
ion is thus recorded:
Il had a vision and saw a great hand
come down from heaven and lift up
line between the North and South, as
workmen do when marking timber to
hew; l saw armies contending under It,
and the line was not snapped, thus Civ
ing me to understand that there would
be a desperate struggle between the
North and South, but that they should
not be divided and become separate
governments"
After the war, during which the Rev.
Mr.. CrapSey Travelled about the North
ern states as missionary, he removed
with his family to Minnesota. He set
tied In Cottonwood county on farm.
where he remained until about ten
years ago. when he came to st. Paul
and purchased thel small cottage, 9S4
Case street, where he died.
Rev. Mr.. CrapseyIwas married sec
ond time, in 1880 to Mrs. Laura A.
Peck, who died several years ago. He
is survived by two sons and one daugh-
ter. The sons areo William, of Percy,
Wis. and George, of Pickbush. Wis.
and daughter. Mrs Alice McBain. Of
Clinton, Iowa, who was with him when
he died. 4 g
The Rev. Mr.. Cfapsey was. during
his residence in st. Paul. connected
with the SpirituaIfst alliance, and fire.

of several books on Spiritualism.
