AT CLEVELAND.
Three of Five Favorites Lose-Bookies
Are Bolder.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 3O.-Much to
the disappointment of a large crowd
there was too much wind for Lou Dill
Ion to attempt to break her record of
2.03, this afternoon, and the trial was
postponed again until Friday. John
A. McKerron was sent mile in POT
while Harry McKerron, the 2-year-old
son of the thrice winner of the Boston
challenge cup, trotted half mile in
1.09A.
Hand books were run much more
holder than on the previous days. The
days racing witnessed the defeat Of
three favorites. In the first race, the
2.11 pace. Pauline G., who won so
easily at Detroit was beaten out by
Miss Willamont. In the free-for-all
pace Knox's Gelatine King, formerly
Anaconda, was thought to have a sure
thing, but Dan r. won both heats.
The fourth race also went to an out
slider, Dan T. being forced to finish
second to The Roman, driven by Bud
Doble Both horse and driver received
great ovation.
Jay McGregor and Robisola, the
favorites in the 219 trot and 2.21 trot,
won without much trouble.
It was announced, today, that John
A. McKerron, 2.05A. will start against
his record at the Brighton Beach meet
ing. There is also a chance that Lou
Dillon will go against time at the same
meeting. The summaries:

Albany, N. Y, July 3O.-The much ad-

SALTWATER GOLD JERNEGAN.


New York Press.
After remaining dead to the world for
five years the Rev. Prescott F. Jernegan.
organizer and promoter of the Electrolytic
Salts Company, one of the most picturesque
swindles of recent times, has come to life
again. The reverend gentleman is in Ma
Mia. Strangest of all. he holds position
there under his own name as a teacher i'm
the Normal School. The man who fieeced
his closest friends. and whose scheme
ruined thousands of others, actually is be-
ing paid $500 year by the United States
government TO train the youth of Manila
in the way they should go.
1t has been discovered that the Rev. Mr..
Jernegan has been in Manila since May,
1901. Reports from that city say he is well
liked. He does not attempt TO conceal his
identity. On the contrary, he has talked
freely, telling the complete story of his
wanderings and sufferings since he was last
heard of In Vienna in the fall of 1898. and
giving an account of how he himself lost
large part of the money he gained by his
swindle in a swindle of almost precisely the
same nature.
In 1896 Jernegan, who was Baptist cler-
gyman. announced to his friends that in a
dream there had been revealed to him a
process for extracting gold from sea water
The fact that Ii is known to chemists that
there is about one grain of gold in a ton of
sea water enabled Jernegan to organize a
company with capital Of sl0,0O0,000, OF
which 100000 actually was paid in. In the
presence of large number of New Eng
land business men tests Of Jernegan's de-
vice were made In Narragansett bay and
ether places. Gold In paying quantities
was produced, sure enough; but later came
the revelation that the ingenious clergy
man had hired diver to substitute gold
impregnated mercury for the pure mercury
that originally had been placed in the
water.
1t was in the summer of 1895 that Jerne-
gan fed to Europe. He left enough of his
dupes' money behind him TO reduce their
aggregate loss to $4,000. and OF this sum

 St Louis, June 13.-The idea of hay ing a great reunion of the Greek let ter societies during the worlds fair in this city next year is receiving much attention among college men.
