REPROACHLESS WON
THE BIG RACE
AIT Crosse Pointe Yesterday Afternoon
and Her victory was Clean
Grand Circuits Auspicious
Opening.

Detroit, Mich, July IA. -Reproachless,
a black daughter Of Direct Hal, that
won the stake five years ago, proved to
be much the best Of the Chamber Of
Commerce PAGERS and took down tile
big share Of the $1,000 classic at Crosse
Pointe yesterday afternoon. The vics
tory Of this mare was clean and while
her performance is a second slower than
that Of Ardell in the record time for the
stakes, it is as good considering the
track, which was full second slower.
The grand circuit never had a more
suspicious opening in Detroit and nearly
ten thousand people participated. At
four o'clock fire broke out in one Of the
barns and owners rushed terror-stricken
to the scene. The horses were saved
but one barn burned to the ground and
two others We're seorched.
The Chamber Of Commerce stake was
the feature Of the card and really proved
one Of the cheapest recent renewals
Of the event Dan s. and Hidalgo were
about equal favorites with the field
bringing as much as either. Neither
of the favofites showed well, Dan S.
being distanced in the second heat.
After trailing to the three-quarter
pole in the first heat, Bonanza came
around and won handily. Next time
Bonanza went to a break when Thomas
started to make his drive and there
was nothing that could pace with Re-
proachless.
In the third heat Bonanza came
strong In the stretch, but Reproachless
had enough left to win by a neck. This
IL Bonanza's third start in the stake
and his third winning Of second money,
but his first record The winner II

The stake for 2:14 trotters fell to the

outfooted them in the first two heats
but tired in the third, which went to

MAY BE A MURDER.
Body Of John Singleton Found in Pitts
field, N. H.

Pittsfeld, n. H., July 24.--What may
prove to be case Of murder occurred
here at about 9.45 last night.
As the result apparently of row in
a boarding house on Carroll street, John
Singleton, q tailor, about go years old,
lies dead and John Nutter, aged about
20, is detained by the authorities on sus-
peion Of having caused his death.
The inmates of the house are very reti.
cent and decline to give any information
until the arrival of the county solicitor.
Thomas r. Clifford Of Franklin, who has
been notified and will be here in the
morning.
It appears that Singleton, who was Of
conyivial habits, had been drinking and
created a disturbance az the boarding
house In which he and Nutter were in
yolved. So much noise did they make
that the neighbors were aroused and
some of them rushed into the house. and
sinaeton was found dead on The hallway
door with Nutter standing over him.
The police were summoned and ply
sician was sent for; and on the arrival
of the officers Nutter, who made no at-
tempt to escape, was held BY the authori-
lies pending further developments. The
eelectmen we're also notified.
DR.. Burt W. Carr was the physician
summoned and ON his arrival he made a
cnrsory examination, and found that on
.be mans forehead there were three cut
II abrasions, one about the middle Of his
forehead, one over the left eye and a
tbird of less serious appearance between
M two. Whether these or any of them
were the cause Of death, which DR.. Carr
Relieves was instantaneous, can only be
developed BY an autopsy, which viii be
Mia under the direction Of the assistant
Medical referee, DR.. j. A. Sanders oi

shserce Of DR.. Granville p. Conn, the

ATTEMPT TO WRECK
~- RUTLAND TRAIN
Ties Placed Across Track Were Seen in
Time to Avert an Accident
Yesterday Afternoon

Bennington, July 2i.--An attempt
was made late yesterday afternoon to
wreck the northbound flyer on the Rut-
land railroad. Ties were placed across
the track and the fact that the train
for which they were intended was late,
was the only thing that prevented a
serious accident.
A northbound freight train which
leaves Bennington in the afternoon pulled
out on the time Of the flyer When a
few miles north, the engineer Of the
freight discovered the ties on the track
and pulled up his train just in time 20
avert an accident. The ties were re-
moved by the train crew and the freight
proceeded to Manchester, where the mat
ter was reported.
The southbound passenger from Man
chester narrowly missed running into
the ties at the same spot, the would be
wreckers having placed them back on
the tracks again after the freight had
passed. Previous attempts have been
made to wreck the flyer under cover
Of night.

or; Paul Hinner, auartermaster.
RI p. Schwerin, yice-president and
general manager of the San Francisco
and Portland Steamhip company, was
asked about the published charge that
the accident was in large measure due
to the habit of coastwise masters Of
"hugging the shore in order to save
coal for owners. He said;
That charge is absolutely false and
nothing better illustrates its falsity
than the fact that at the time Of the
collision the Columbia was IA miles or
shore. The extreme range of light
house lamps is only 90 miles and mas
ters must be within that range to get
their bearings, especially in foggy wealth
er.

BUT REAL TRAGEDY
One Man Blown to Pieces and Several
Others Hurt in Manoeuyers of Con-
necticut National Guard.

New London, Conn, July 24.--One
man was killed BY the explosion Of a
bag Of powder in one OF the six inch
batteries at Fort Terry, Plum Island,
New York, yesterday an at least three
members Of Company X, third regiment,
Connecticut National Guard, injured.
The accident occurred during she sham
attack upon the forts in which the en-.
tire third regiment of Connecticut and
the regulars are taking part. The name
Of the dead man is Private Hammond Of
the Tooth company, regular artillery
man.
The accident happened in one Of the
battery pits and owing to the fact that
the only line OF communication to the
island Is by means Of one government
wire, which was not in use at times
this afternoon, it was impossible TO gain
much detailed information. The 3rd
Connecticut regiment was ordered to the
island in that vicinity few days ago,
companies A, B, G, G., X and NJ, going
to Fort Terry and companies d, + and
L, going to Fort G. H. Wright. The men
are doing twelve days duty there
The injured are; Sergeant Benjamin
| w. Banks, who may lose the sight OF
both eyes, and Private Hays, both Of the
one hundredth oompanys Private John
McHugh and Private Jos. McHugh, a
brother burned on the face The two
last named men are members Of Com
| lpany X, Third Infantry, G. N. G., whose
homes are IN Bridgeport
Private Hammond received the full
charge OF ignited powder, tearing away
his shoulder and arm His home IS in
Talbot, Tenn. Sergeant Banks Is in the
hospital. The others injured are in their
lquarers suffering severely.
1t Is believed that the blank charge
was placed in the opened breach and that
a burning embef which lay there I'M
noticed, ignited the powder.
