demand at ~Sheepshead Bay this after
noon. Though no rain has fallen In
the past t~wenty-four hours thsce has
be"n no sun Or wine and the moisture
has had no chance to evaporaSe. This
afternoon was very muggy, with
scarcely a breath OF air stirring. Tho

The steeplechase had only four en-
tries, three of which were from the
Wldener stable. The stake was the

an ordinary field faced the starter. The
attendance was only fair. 1t was below
the average, but that average is far
above that OF last year.

BOUGHT HER FREEDOM.
StepmOther of Dowie, the Zion Heal
err, Gives Husband $4,000 IN Gold
on Being Divorced from Him.

Clarinda, Ia, Feb. 24.-Mrs. Eliza
beth j. North-Dowie has been granted
a divorce from John Murray Dowie,
father of the Zion leader of Chicago.
A couple of years ago Mrs. North was
in Chicago on a visit and attended the
meetings being held by the Zion leader.
She met aud became infatuated with
the father of the promoter of Dowie-
ism and later married him. They start
ed to the home of Mrs. North in this
city and for a time everything seemed
to move well with them. Later she de
serted her husband, alleging that he
was repulsive, overbearing and cruel.
She went to Colorado to live with a
daughter, and later brought suit for
divorce in the courts of Page county,
La. One of the stipula lions was that
she was to allow her husband $4,000.
which on Monday was paid him in gold.
Mrs. North was probably worth $780,
900 at the time of her marriage with
Mr.. Dowie. Mr.. Dowie will continue
to- make his home at Essex, Ia.

BATTLE GF WALLOOMSAC.
The Engagement known az "Ben.
ningtOn" Was Really Fought
in New York.
ITO Be Continued

Some years ago Richard Curran, Of
Rochester, introduced into the assem-
bly, bill to provide for the erection
of a monument in the town of Hoo
sick, Rensselaer, county, where was
fought, on the 10th of August, 1777,
an engagement with detachment Of
Burgoyne's army, and named by New
England historians as the battle Of
Bennington.
The bill, says the Rochester Demo-
crat, did not become a law, but it
was discussed in New England and
New York with considerable energy.
New England newspapers exhibited
sense of injury because New York
proposed to mark the battlefield
within her territory. 1t was then
suggested that the name of the Sec
ond engagement be taken from this
beautiful stream that ran through
the field, the Walloomsac. The field
was six miles from the village of
Bennington, and the principal battle
was fought on the summit of a sharp
spur, covered with hemlocks, that
rose abruptly from the valley of the
Walloomsac. It is a beautiful spot,
but not known to the self-deceiving
New Highlander as the battlefield
where the Hessian barren was cap
tured with his whole command.
Hereafter the battle will be known
in some quarters by it's true name,
Walloomsac.

BOARDING HOUSE BURNED.
Fire at Midway, Pa, Destroys Three
Story Structure-SeveraII Italian
LabOrers Missing.

Midway, Pa, Feb. 23.-The Midway
hotel, a large three-story frame
structure, caught fire at ten o'clock
Saturday and was totally destroyed.
At noon the fire was still burning
and several buildings in the imme-
date neighborhood were threatened.
The volunteer departments of this
and surrounding towns are at work,
but the supply of water is not good.
The hotel was a resort for working
men employed on the Panhandle
road, and between 80 and 40 were
in the hotel at the time. There
were many narrow escapes and all
the occupants have not been ac-
counted for. The report that a
number of Italians had been burned
or were lost in the fire has not, been
verified.
Later-The fire was finally con-
trolled without spreading to the ad-
joining buildings. All the guests have
been accounted for and no one was
injured.
