Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 1O.-sweet Marie,
2:04 ga, the. Mckinney mare, who took
the measure of Tiverton in their match
race in Readville, Mass, last week. had
the tables turned here effectively to-
day in the free-for.ali trot, the feature
event Of the Grand circuit at Kenil-
worth park, when the Galileo Rex stall
lion took down first money in two first
heats in 2:O5r 1-2 and 2:06, the mare
getting the third in 2:06 IA, but only
as the result of the race having been
settled according to- the three heat plan
in practice. d
George G and Mckinley completed
the quartette which faced the starter
for the event, and in the opening pools
Sweet Marie sold at 5000, with $50 ON
Tfvertonf and $21 on the field. The
mare got away poorly, but was catch
ing Tiverton in the stretch in the first
heat when she broke and finished last.
Still Sweet Marie sold favorite $50 to
$27 on the field, but third to Tiverton
was the best she could do. In the last
heat Mcdonald got her stepping
through the stretch, and she overhaul
ed and beat Tiverton half a length in
a whipping finish.
This blow was one Of the worst the
talent has suffered at the meeting, all
though Tiverton was supported hand
somely. Those who saw Sadie Mac
Miss Wilkes fleet trotter step away
with the $4,000 stake the other day
gave expression to the belief that the
Gait woman fancier owned the real
tretting champion among those now
| being campaigned. ,'. =. .' ID n

her remark to-day. 1|-.

WINS THIS Glib

PHILADELPHIA, Sep .enber s.
Count Karl Holstein o. Germany. after
having been twice Tilted by Mildred
Harrison, daughter OF Alfred c. Har-
rison, the sugar king, and niece of the
provost of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, has succeeded in renewing his
enga cement with her.
Three times has the German Count
chased this girl around the world in
his suit for her hand. The announce
ment of the present or third engage
ment comes, however, with such an
air of fnality that it looks as though
Holstein was really going to win her.
Miss Harrison and the Count first
met at Washington. Then their first
engagement was reported. If it had
existed it was speedily broken. Prac-
ticany around the world went the
lady, and after her went the noble
man. Then they met again at a san
Francisco hotel The Count had his
mother with him this time. and again
came the report of their engagement,
this time from Colorado Springs. 1t
was broken again, and there was an
other chase about the globe that was
made twice over before the two finally
found themselves together
Holstein comes of one of the Oldest
families in Germany. They are Luz
therans. and descendants of the IA
nous Count Christian d'Oldenbourg,
head of the house of Holstein, which
dates back to 1881. His father occu-
pied many distinguished positions, and
his mother was formerly a lady in
waiting to the Queen of Bavaria

SIX MEN KILLED.
A Powder House at Iowa Coal Mine
Struck by Lightning.

Des Moines, Ia. July 19.-An eXplo-
sion is reported TO have taken place.
this morning, at the West Riverside
coal mine, two miles west of the city.
Six miners are said to have been killed.
A telephone message from the mine
says that lightning struck the powder
house, shortly after 6 o'clock. The pow
der house contained a considerable
quantity of dynamite and the eXplo-
sion which followed was terrific.
The dead men had gone into the pow
der house to secure their daily supply
of dynamite to be used in the mine.
They had not been in the shed more
then a minute or two when the struc-
ture was struck by lightning, igniting
the entire supply of dynamite and
blowing building and men literally to
pieces.
Later reports declare that no one was
injured and that only those in the
wrecked building were killed.

New York. July 19.-No relief but
rather a promise of more intense heat
and even greater suffering came to
New York, today. Even with every
park in the city thrown wide open and
with practically every restriction re-
moved, hundreds of thousands have
been unable to escape the severest suf-
fering Yesterday, with nearly two
score of deaths and 10 times as many
serious heat prostrations officially re-
ported, taxed the facilities of every
hospital and like institution in the
city.
Ambulance surgeons, drivers and
horses, worn down by the terrible heat
and the strain Of incessant work were
completely exhausted. The horses gave
out earlier than the men and compare
lively early it became necessary to
press police patrol wagons into service
as temporary ambulances. Then the
hospitals became filled to their capac-
ity and several were forced to an
nounce that no more sufferers could be
received.
Although many thousand tenement
jewellers awaited themselves of the OPP
portunty given by the open parks to
sleep in the outer air, there were many
more who could not or would not leave
their homes in the parched and swell
tering lower section of the city. 1t was
from that section that the first reports
of death due to the heat came. today.
Before A. NJ, five fatalities had been
reported. Two Of the victims fell from
windows where they were sleeping in
hope of getting a breath of air and
were dashed to death on the pavement.
The others died directly from heat ex-
hauStion.
In Brooklyn a heat craZed mother
plunged a carving knife into her sleep
ing 19-months-old child, killing it in
stantly and then made an unsuccessful
attempt to take her own life. Her
wounds are slight.
Official figures given out by the gov
eminent weather bureau. today, show
that the lowest temperature recorded
during the last "a hours was at q
o'clock, this morning. The government
thermometer stood at rs at that hour,
having fallen on an average OF one
degree an hour during the night. From
that time on. however, it began to rise.
reaching q at o'clock, 80 at 8 o'clock,
and 81 at 9 o'clock.
The facilitating effect of the long
continued heat became more than ever
apparent, early Wednesday. Hereto
