THOUSANDS THUG
FAIR ON''BIG DAY"
Horse Killed in Yesterday's Races;
Women and Children Panic
Stricken
To-day was the "big day" at the
Middletown fair. Threatening skies
failed to dull the enthusiasm of the
thousands who eagerly thronged the
grounds and parked the big grand
stand to capacity to witness some of
the fastest races ever held on the
lower end grounds. Three events were
run off this afternoon and three more
were decided yesterday, clearing the
program for the fast races to-morrow
when it is expected to see the track
record lowered.
A damper was thrown on the en
thusiasm of the crowd yesterday when
in the second heat of the 2:19 pace,
Virginia I'atchen, leading the field of
eight horses, broke, then swerved
towards the side of the track and,
plunging over a six-foot embankment,
was killed. Dan Leary, Jr., of West
Chester, who was driving, escaped
serious injury in a miraculous man
ner, springing from his seat directly
in the path of the other racing horses.
When Virginia Patchen began to head
for the fence the crowd of people
packed along the railing broke and
fled In confusion. Women and chil
dren jumped and rolled over the em
bankment in a frantic effort to get
away from the approaching animal.
No one was injured, however.
Virginia Patchen was sired by Joe
Patchen, by Sara Ann. by Thistle and
had a record of 2:20 1 4, made this
year. Dan Leary, of West Chester,
was her owner and just last week
refused an offer of $1,500 for the
horse.

KNOCKS WIFE'S TEETH
OUT WITH FLATIBON

Mistress When She
Interfered
When Marie Proctor attempted to
mix In a little family affair between
Charles Kobbretts and his wife, who
board with Marie, she got the worst of
the little set-to that followed, accord
ing to the story she told Squire Gard
ner last evening.
Rohbretts, according to the testi
mony, dropped his year-old son on
the floor rather too hard to suit his
wife. She complained and Recording
to her story, lost several teeth. Charles
used a flatiron that was handy, she
says.
This sort of angered Marie and she;
got into action but so again did the
flatiron—and Marie came to the hear
ing with her head swathed in band
ages. Robbretts was arrested by Of
ficers Gore and Bombgardner and held
in default of bail for court on charges
of aggravated assault and plain as
sault and battery, by Squire Gardner.
Marie will recover but Mrs. Kobbretts
will need a new set of teeth.

Bombs Dropped From Cage
Attached to Dirigibles
London, Aug. 27. 12.38 A. M.—The
method used by Zeppelin airships in
dropping bombs has been described as
follows by an Fngllsh refugee who has
just arrived here from Belgium:
"The dirigible hovers over its ob
jective at a sufficient altitude to keep
It out of range of the enemy's guns.
At the same time It lowers r steel
cage attached to a steel wire support
2,000 or 3,000 feet long. This cage is
divided into compartments and it car
ries one man whose duty it is to throw
down the bombs. The cage Is suffi
ciently strong to make rifle fire against I
it ineffective, and because of its small
size and the fact that it Is kept con

heavy guns to hit it."

candidate, and others are exchanging
ideas with William Flinn and his lieu
tenants.
Palmer said: "I do not cnr<? to give
names, but fusion proposals camo from
men who 1 have every reason to be
lieve are competent to speak for their
party. No negotiations are now going
on as far as I know, but there is
plenty of time for such a movement to
he carried out. Fusion can bo effected
up to thirty days before the election."
Palmer denied that he would retire
from the tight for senator in favor of
Gifford Pinchot, the Washington party
candidate. "I am a candidate and

the election." said he.

She is ably assisted by the court

The official Gazette publishes a de

Yuklo Ozakl, minister of justice, in

China sea, said:
"When Japan captures Kiao-Chow
and hostilities in the China and Japan

LETTER WRITING OF
FOREIGNERS STOPS,
MlllS ARE TIED IIP
Steelton Postmaster Says Letters
From "Home" Are Now Few
and Far Between
"Any mail from Austria this morn
ing?"
From the spokesman of an anxious,
hopeful little group of Austrians, who
line up in front of the delivery window
in the Steelton Post Office every
morning, comes this question. And
daily for more than three weeks the
clerk has shook his head, a silent
"No." "The mails aren't running
yet," he answers.
Then the little group shuffles away
to discuss the latest developments in
the faraway homeland.
"This war brings out the fact that
the Austrians are the greatest home
letter writers in the world," said Post
master M. M. Cusaek this morning.
"Why, do you know that the number
of letters to Austria handled through
(his office would allow every resident
in the borough more than one letter
a. week?" continued the Postmaster.
"We handle an average of over
1,000 outgoing letters a week to Aus
tria, in normal times. Now we can
Iscarcely get enough letters to make a
separate 'tie' of ten letters, so great
are the inroads the war has made on
the business here. Few of the for
eigners are writing home because they
fear their letters will never reach
their destination. The incoming for
eign mail amounts to practically noth
ing."
One of the greatest hardships to
the foreigners Is the cessation of the
money order business. Every month
In normal limes on an average of $15,-
000 was sent through the local post
office to Austria to support wives and
j families of local Austrians. Now the
business will not amount to $5,000 a
month.
