Democratic State Committee Com
mends Him for President.

DOVER. Del, December 1.-THE demo-
cratic state committee yesterday after
noon passed a resolution indorsing George
Gray of Delaware fo- the presidency
After the presentation of the indorse-
ment resolutions by Committeeman Sal
mons, Chairman Thomas F. Bayard, one
of Judge Gray's closest personal and po-
litical friends, ruled it out of order.
William F. kurtz of Wilmington. sitting
on the proxy of L.,Irving Handy, appeal
ed from the decision of the chair and the
appeal was sustained,
He was opposed to the resolution, acqui-
esced, and it was adopted unanimously.
1t was not clear whether Chairman
BayaEd ruled the resolution out because
he thought the committee had no au-
thority to commit the party upon q mat
ter on which it is divided, OF whether he
was acting in Difference to Judge Gray's
wishes.
= The resolution conmends Judge Gray

EXCITING ACCIDENTS
AT NEW CLEANS TRACK

NEW ORLEANS, December 1.-THE
racing at the Fair Grounds track yester-
day afternoon was married by two acct
dents. In the second race four horses
fell and in the fifth race two horses
tumbled over.
The mishaps were due in great part
to reckless riding. although the slippery
track contributed it's share Fortunately
none of the Jockeys was seriously injured
and the horses also escaped. j. Lee,
who rode Prince Fortunatus. and Fogarty
who rode Blackburn in the same event,
were painfully hurt. Lee had his right
leg cut and will be kept out of the saddle
for several days. Fogarty's back was
strained and he was removed in the track
ambulance to the Charity Hospital in the
city. The physicians at the hospital said
last night that after a rest of about two
weeks Fogarty will be able to ride again
No one was even bruised in the second
accident. The escape from serious in
jury was due in great part TO the soft
condition of the track. The mud formed
a soft cushion for the horses and riders
that fell.
The desire of the Jockeys to Obtain
prominent position, soon after the start
was the cause of the first mishap Twelve
horses ran into a. jam when the start
was effected. and Testabella, Prince For
tunatus, Blackburn and Flowaway tum-
bled over one another. While jockeys
and horses were in this tangle Coltness
sped to the front. made all the running
and won easily by two lengths.
Easy Win for Carthage.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The American League will probably
meet in New York next year instead of
Chicago.
There were five 800 hitters in the Tri-
State League last season.
Both big leagues will adopt 154-game
schedule without much discussion.
Mobile will be included in the circuit of
the Southern League next year, taking
the place of Shreveport.
Garry Hermann says that to date he
has received fifty-two applications for Ed
Hanlon's managerial job.
The annual meeting of the Central
League, which was scheduled for January
y, has been postponed until a later date.
Neighbours, whom Pittsburg drafted
from Memphis, was the leading outfielder
in the Southern League last season, ac-
cording to the official averages.
George Dewey induced Fred Tenney to
attend the National League meeting, so
that he would be on the ground if deal
should be made for him.
President Watkins of Indianapolis says
most of the demands of the American As
ISOLATION, and looks for no warfare.
There is a bare chance that Frank
of one of the South Michigan League
teams next year. He has had the ex-
perience, knows base ball from A to z,
and could get results out of players where
others would fail.
Things are nrettv nu;et In Columbus No
one has been secured to take the places of
Hulswitt, Upp and Gessler, but President
Bryce will attend the American League
meeting and he is looking for something
to come out during that season.
"Muggsy" McGraw will get back into
the game. He announces that he will
play second base. "Muggsy'' is of the
opinion that with himself on the pivot
sack for the Giants the team will be much
strengthened. He thinks that it will also
instill more ginger and confidence into
the men.-Cleveland Leader. Smoke up.
1t is reported that Grand Rapids will
Arnold still in control! He offered to sell
out for $4,000, but the price was consid-
cred too high. Arnold Is now casting
around for manager. This time he is
after Dick Padden, the veteran. and the
chances are good for deal being made
The circuit will be made up as follows:
Grand Rapids. South Bend Fort Wayne,
Terre Haute. Evansville, Dayton, Wheel
ing and Canton.
Sam Brown. the Boston National League
catcher. is lying dangerously i'll In the
West Penn Hospital Pittsburg. He has a

close Of the base ball season he has been
working for the United States Steel Cor
poration near Scottdale. acting as a de-
tective and guard for the paymaster. Ac-
cording to his brother. Frank Brown, he
complained of not feeling we'll during the
closing weeks Of the base ball season, and
last week. after a long ride through the
country in a blackboard, which Jared him
a great deal. he took a change for the
worse. Brown alternated with Tom Need
ham OF Steubenville behind the bat for
the Bostons last season. and in the official
fielding averages recently issued by Presi-
dent Pulliam Of the National League

burg. making a good record for the

Wife Large Slaveowner.

c CUMBERLAND, Md, December H.
Edward G. Keller, while ransacking an
old desk yesterday, came across the will
of the late Peter Dent. grandfather of the
late Mrs. Grant, wife of Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant Mr.. Keller obtained possession of
the desk by purchase at the sale of the
late Benjamin R. Simpson. 1t is a pecu-
liarly constructed piece of furniture, and
contains hidden drawers or pigeon holes
The testator at the time he made the
Will was evidently the owner of large
number of slaves, because he devises to
each member Of his large family of rela-
uves from one to two negroes. There is
nothing otherwise about the will that
makes it different from the same class of
papers today. The will is dated October
., 1857, and is very legible
The grandparents and relatives of Mrs.
Grant are inferred in Rose Hill camet ery.

moved few years ago from the old Cum
