6 THE PITTBBTJBQ- DISPATCH, MONDAY, JUNE 16, ,1890. GREATRACETUESDAY. Gossip About the Probable Starters in the Suburban Handi cap at Sheepshead. TEKKT TEE BIG BETTIKG FAVOKITE Will Continue Strongly in the Lead at the Post, tat Lots of Money is Flaced On Others. THEPEOBABLE JOCKEXS AND STARTEHS Talk Tfcat Captain Brtirn Would Send Senorita, tint Reporter is Bis Choice. rETECTXI. TM.ro BAM TO THZ DIf rATCH.1 New Tokk, Jnne 15. Everything is in readiness at Sheepshead for the greatest Suburban on record, and should the day be fine and the track in good condition, there are half a dozen horses that will come to the post capable of running in record time or better and present indications are that the finith will be confined to these can didates of superlative merit Tenny, the greatest 4-year-old that has shown this year, will go to the post favorite, hut the .-nances are that the great Tolume of money which will pour into the ring on the other candidates will lengthen his price materially and enable Dave Pulsi fer and bis friends to obtain a much better figure than they had hoped for on the day of the race. The sway-backed colt is the corralar choice for the race because he has performed in public this year and has demonstrated that he is still the possessor of that snperb turn of speed which made him one of the phenomenons of the turf of 1SS3. His owner has no fears of the outcome, declaring bravely that Tenny ill win unless he meets with an ac cident. McLaughlin will nae, but this is not regarded as anything greatly in his favor, as Jimmy, while undoubtedly a king among jockeys, has been away from active duty In the saddle for a loug time, and there is nothing like contant training in races to Keep both man and horse in the top notch of condition. Mc Lauglin is now down to weight, and one thing can be relied upon, the colt will not be missed during the race, as McLaughlin has a splendid pair of bands and is a judge of pace. FOB SKCOSD CHOICE. After Tenny the names of Raceland, Salva tor, Firenzi, Prince Royal and Longstreet are most frequently mentioned as probable win ders. Mr. Belmont will send both Raceland and Prince Royal to the post, and a doughty team tbey will be. Raceland won tne race a rear ago, and his trainer says he can beat Tenny when they meet prince Royal showed that he is at concert pitch by the easy way In which he established a be-t record at Westchester in the Rancbo del Paso handicap, and stranger things have happened than Prince Royal's ulnnlngtbe Suburban. Mr. Ilaggm's Kirenzl and Salvator are both lit to race for a kingdom, the mare especially so, and from the present outlook she will go to the post, Mr. Byrne having said that the big colt would be kept in the stable if the track was dry and fast, and should no more rain fall a good track is a certainty. Salvator is a superlative performer in heavy-going, and if he has improved as much over bis 3-year-old form as Tenny has the talent need look no further for the winner. But neither Salvator nor Firenzi have raced in public this year, and consequently the knowing ones are at sea. A DASGrBOUS HOKSE. How comes Longstreet, a decidedly danger ous commodity in any company on a hard, dry track. Longstreet has beaten Tenny ana Sal vator, and why can't he do it again? That's what a good man said to-day. Careful consid eration of Longstreet' public form as a 3-year-old, linked with the fact that he is thrown into the handicap at 117 pounds 10 less than Balva tbr, 11 less than Raceland and 9 less than ' Firenzi and Tenny and the chances of the colt cannot be passed by unnoticed. Sir Dixon may start if the track is muddy, in which event Longstreet, who is a singularly bad performer in heavy going, will not see the post. Some persons thought Sam Brown would start Senorita. but Reporter, who is a sure starter and will be ridden by Covington, will probably carrv the Pittsburg turfman's colors. Bifly Lakeland will start Tea Tray In the mile race at Brighton Beach to-morrow (Mon day) and if the son of Rayon D'Or acquits him self satifactonly he will be sent to the post. Proctor Knott and English Lady, the pair that will represent the West, are sure starters, and the big gelding never looked better than to day. The Knott has never been trained prop erlv heretofore, and the sensational winner of the Junior Champion and the Futurity in 'S3 will prove that he is not one of the "lias beens" when it comesTO a race. The West is solid for tle Knott and his racy-looking companion. Strideaway Is highly thought of by his owners, and Stoval has been engaged to ride the son of Spinawav. whose impost is hut 116 pounds. Come to Taw may go, but it is doubtful, as he is not within 0 pounds of his true form. "VOLUNTEER'S WOBK. Volunteer is one that will show the way for some portion of the race. Mr. Withers was strongly in favor of declaring his sensational Fa vordale colt ont of the race two months ago, but Trainer Knapsack McCarthy stands to win a fortune if the brown colt wins, and the Sage of Brookdale determined that Knapsack should have a run for his money. The lucky Beverwyck stable will undoubtedly make strong efforts to repeat their performance in the Brooklyn handicap. Cassius and Lavinia Belle, with Barnes and Covington np, being their candidates. Cassius carries bnt 107 pounds, and the fact that be put up 110 pounds and ran second to Tenny. who had 115 up, a mile In 1:40 beating Sir Dixon at even weights, has set folks to thinking. The dark horses of the contest may be the black colt Loantaka, a sensationni sprinter, but whose ability to negotiate a distance of ground is questioned. This colt has pnt np weight and ran away from the fastest horses on the turf for seven furlongs. His, owners say he can go a mile and a quarter. Montague has an out side chance with but 103 pounds up, and the Preakness colt, who will be ridden by Martin, together with St. Luke, who is named as an almost certain starter, will make up the field. This insures at least IS starters and plenty of excitement. Frank Clark has worked rfght valiantly to have a good track for the race, and should the weather remain settled bis efforts will be successful. AH OITTSIDEB W0H. The Paris Grand Prize Goes to a Twenty to One Horse. PAKIS, June 15.

In the last betting the odds were 20 tol against Fitz Roya, 33 to 1 against Fitz Hamp ton and 6 to 1 against Odd Fellow. Lane rode the winner.

The fight between Ed Smith, of Denver, ahd.J)aiy,of -Philadelphia, will take place at 1020 Monday night before the Arlington Athletic Clubbf Buffalo. The purse is 11,500. and the club has bet William Mnldoon, Smith's trainer, 500 on the outside that Daly wins. Smith stands 5 feet 10J Inches high, and when in condition weighs 175 pounds. He is probably as plucky andgameya fighter as any man who ever stepped Into the ring. "He is a good man," said Mnldoon to a re porter to-day. "I think he can beat any man of his weight in the world. "The winner of this fight will probably be pitted against Godfrey, the colored fighter of Boston, or Kilrain. The Puritan Athletic Club or Long Inland City stands ready to offer a purse of 12,000 for a 'go' between the winner aud Godfrey. II bmitb wins, and 1 feel sure he will. I will bet $u00 that he can defeat Godfrey, and the acceptance of the Bostonian is all that is necessary to conclude the match. In case Godfrey won't fight, the club will offer a purse of 3.000 for Smith and Kilrain. In such an event it is optional with Smith whether or not he accepts, as far as I am concerned. In such a contest I would not care to back him finan cially." 6UIXT WOH'T ACT. The Champion Refuse nn Offer to Exhibit Himself nt a Fair. Tkenton, N. J., June 15. John L.

A PBEE WOOL HEH0BIAI Sent Oat by the Consumers Association of Effete Boaton. Boston, June 15. A memorial in favor of free wool has been sent to the Senate Finance Committee by the Wool Consumers' Association. It starts out witb this: "For the protection of the woolen manufacture of the country, and for its rescue from a most hampered and distressed condition we ask for a great reduction or the total abolition of the duty on wool." And it closes thus: "As all the wool grown , iu the world is now wanted, the American grower could hardly be injured by the readjustment of values, if at the worst his product should fall slightly in price he would be compensated soon by the larger and more certain demand from the stimulated and increased manufacture. "The demand for mutton is rapidly increas ing, and it is afforded in better quality by sbeep which produce long wool than by the breeds producing short, fine wool. The half breed mutton sheep's wool, in the warp, works admirably with the rejected worsted fibers, and the Montevideo fleeces in the fill ing. Thus the mutton flocks would be stim ulated through the importation of free raw materials. The American oonsumer of woolens and worsteds would get.better fabric at prices generally lower."

He Was Sacked Into a Sewer and, Never Seen Afterward. PBOPERTT LOSS WILL BEACH $200,000 fSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH Cincinnati, June 15. Cincinnati and the country for 50 miles around experienced a sensational storm to-day. It began at noon and for more than an hour terrified thousands. The wind was severe, the light ning of a fierce disposition and alarming' frequency, the rain was fast, furious and deluge like. At 4 A. m. V severe rain had flushed the city clean, but brought no cool ing air, and np to noon the sun shone with oppressive fury. ' The storm came up suddenly as the churches were closing, and the thousands who thronged the cable and electric cars were caught in the first down pour; curtains offered no relief and windows were burst in. Hundreds of ladies dressed in costlr rai ment were drenched to the skin and the loss in that direction must be heavy. STOPPED THE CABS. As the storm grew heavier lightning be gan its work. All the three of the electric roads were rendered useless and miles of their wires destroyed. The flood along the Sycamore street cable line, running through the most thickly populated portion of the city, was so great that the cars, could not traverse the streets and the road was tem porarily abandoned. In 15 minutes 2,700 telephone wires were burned out and one lady operator was dangerously hurt. The fire alarm system was wrecked and lightnine about spoiled the new Gest street engine house. The ele gant residence of J. F. Carlson, on Harri son avenue, was knocked to pieces by the same bolt. By 1 o'clock every sewer in the city was full and' the streets were amateur rivers. State street, a narrow thoroughfare lying very low in a valley of what was once Deer creek, became a torrent, water stood 2 and 3 feet deep in the houses and drift was doing much damage. DBOWNED IN A SEWER. Edward Lanahan, who keeps a grocery on the street, was standing on a raft near his door warding off timber, when he slipped and was sucked into a sewer. His body has not been recovered. The storm formed a ravine 20 feet wide and 10 deep from Slack to Boat street through land worth $500 a front foot. In all, 33 houses were unrooted in the city, thousands of trees ruined, and in the lower portions many thousand dol lars' damage done to goods on first floors of stores. Two people were blown off a shanty boat near the mouth of the Miami river and drowned, and thonsands of dollars of dam age done to coal boats and timber rafts. The Chesapeake and Ohio road loses (50,000 by washouts and landslides within 50 miles of the city. ALL ALONG THE LINE. Severe destruction of property are re ported from Iioveland, Hamilton, Milford and Batavia, O. If ear the latter placehe O. & K. W. railroad track is washed out and a bridge gone. New Eichmond and Ripley lost $10,000 each. At Falmouth, Ky., three boys fishing in a boat are miss ing, and doubtless drowned. Covington, Bellevue, Dayton and New port, Ky., had 18 houses unroofed and 2 persons hurt. Thousands of acres of wheat just ready to reap are laid flat, and the loss will be great. J.t is safe to say that the loss in Cincinnati and a radius of 50 miles is. $200,000. PARALYZED BT LIGHTKHTG. A Street Car Driver Overcome br Tonch of Electric Flo Id. Louisville, June 15. A heavy thunder storm passed over this city this afternoon. J. B. Wnth'eri &"Co.'s distillery was struck by lightning and the producing room burned out. Loss, $4,000.

Scattered about in the ashes of burned wood were the crumbled bones of a human form. the largest remaining being those of the skull and jaw. Coroner Harnden. of Waverly, was notified and went to the scene. A number of people of Waverly ac companied him, among whom was Isaac Hucklf. Arriving at the scene the portion of the leg below the knee, encased in a few shreds of crisp cloth' and a leather boot, was removed from beneath the log and by the tap on the boot the ghastly remnant of a human body was identified by Mr. Huckle as belonging to his father-in-law, Isaac Deo. Near by the scene of this tragedy was a pile of wood. Concealed in this was fonnd a revolver, one chamber of which was empty. Mr. Deo was formerly a miller at Waverly, and lived there with his son-in-law, Isaac Huckle. He left home about five weeks ago. Tbe coroner's jury decided that Deo came to his death by burning in a manner unknown. OVEB 800 MiT.t:s OP CABLE Carried to Hnlifax. lo be Stretched From That City to Bermuda. Bermuda, June 15. On Saturday was announced the arrival of the cable steamer West Meath, having on board the cable that is hereafter to connect Bermuda with Halifax and with the great world beyond. The cable is coiled on board the West Meath in iron tanks. The time occupied in coiling it on board was 17 davs and as many nights. Its length is 874 miles, and throughout it is of much greater weight than has hitherto been used. The West Meath has left for Halifax. On her passage thither a careful survey of the bed of the ocean will be made, so as to dis cover the most suitable position for the cable. The temperature at dif ferent depths will at the same time be determined. -The time occupied by this necessary survey, and by arrangements to be made nt the Halifax end will be about a fortnight; at tbe end of this period the work oflaying will be begun, and under favorable circumstances the completion of the laying may be expected before the end of Jnly.- BRUGES AND BROKEN BONES CAUSED BY THE FALL OF A BRIDGE CROWDED WITH PEOPLE. t - A Serious Accident at a Summer Resort Near Cleveland More Thaa a Peore In Jured, Several of Them Seriously nnd One Fatally. Cleveland, June 15. There was a seri ous accident this evening at Beyerle's Park, a summer resort in the southern part of the city. At least 5,0u0 people had assembled to see a man jump from a cable stretched across a miniature artificial lake. People stootf all around the lake; and a hundred or more were on a rustic footbridge about ten feet from the ground and extending from a blufl out across the lake. The jumper made the descent at about 630 o'clock. He struck the water near the shore, and the people on the bridge made a rush for the place. Nearly all of them were massed on a 35-foot span adjoining the blufE The'structure fell with a crash, going down in the, middle. The footpaths under the bridge-, 'were crowded with people and upon these the timbers fell, while those on the building were thrown in a heap in the center of the span where it struck the ground. At least 25 persons were injured more or less seriously, bnt only eight were hurt so bmlly that they had to go to a hospital. Following is a list of the seri ously injured: James Sanford,52 years, 240 Lake street, right leg fractured and internal injuries, prob ably fatal; Rudolph Woodnck, 28 years, 43 Louis street, right leg fractured and head bruised; Mrs. Rudolph Woodrlck, spine and shoulder hurt: Jesse Caldwell, 17 years, Broad way, ankle fractured and arm badly injured; Bertha Mnnter, 15 years, 819 Clark avenue, right hip fractured and internal injuries; Anna Thoman, 11 years, 831 Clark avenne, right ankle broken; Mary Thoman, 22 years, back and head injured; unknown, one-legged man, leg broken. Had the bridge broken over the lake the list of deaths would have been alarmingly large. WHI POEM A HEW PAETT. A Row In. the Central Labor Union Over the Admission of Reporters. New Yobk, June 15.' At the meeting of the Central Labor Union last Sunday, the Socialists and Conservatives had a row, in which the latter prevailed, deciding to ex clude the Socialistic press reporters. The Socialists held a meeting this morn ing ' and decided to withdraw from the Centra Labor Union altogether and to form a new central body unless the obnoxious resolution relative to the Social istic press were rescinded. At the evening meeting Delegate Jablownski fired the first gun in a vigorous protest against the adoption of the minutes of the last meeting and the fight that ensued thereon was fierce and vigorous. After a long scrimmage, the Conservatives found tbey could do nothing, and a motion was made to adjourn, which the Chair pro nounced carried. The Socialists, however, were there for blood, and immediately upon the withdrawal of the Conservatives they continued the meeting, restoring the Social istic labor press to representation in the union. ANOTHER RALLHOAD WRECK. One Woman Dies and Ten Others Are More or Leas Iejared. ASHEVILLE, N. C, June 15. Mrs. John H. Scarborough, ot Knoxville, Tenn., one of the passengers on the wrecked train on the Bichmond and Danville railroad, near Marshall yesterday, died of her injuries this afternoon at the Glenrock Hotel in this city. There were 24 persons on the train, 11 of whom were injured. All the wounded were brought to this place. Mr. Scarborough, husband of the dead woman, also received painful injuries in tbe back and shoulder. Mrs. J. C. Vanbuholew, of Hickory, N. C, is the only other person seriously injured. She suffered a concussion of the spinal column-, with paralysis of the lower extremity, and is in a very critical condition. The ac cident occurred immediately on the bank ot French Broad river, some ten miles south of Hot Springs, and was caused by a defective brace on the rear truck of tbe tender. The Pullman car and a first class car were thrown from the track and turned on the side. All the passengers injured were in those coaches. CAUGHT IN AN AMBUSCADE. Eight Hundred Chinese Moldier Slaughtered Ibo Rebellious Savages. rsrrctAL tblzobau to time dispatcim San Fbancisco, June 15. Advices re ceived from China give the story pi the slaughter of 800 soldiers in Tamsui. The news of tbe massacre reached Shanghai on May 5 by the warship Feichen, which brought about 1,200 sick and wounded braves from General Lin's army, operating against the savages in the southeast part of the fslanu. The General's forces have not so far been very successful, and their despised enemy, the savages, seem to nave come out uppermost in all recent encounters, despite the great preparations which the Government had been making for months before he set out to exterminate his wary enemies. Over 800 soldfcrs were slaughtered In an ambuscade by savages. The General and his second in command, whose deaths have already been recorded, were beheaded, and their mutilated bodies brought back to Feicheu. A BAD BOUT AT FINDLAY.

A Bather Remarkable Claim Hade by Some " of Harrison's Friends. BHEEMAlf BEHIND M'SINLEI'S BOOM rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH. New" Yobk, June 15. A good deal of speculation and prophecy regarding the next Bepublican Presidents! candidate is heard among the politicians, despite the fact that tbe selection is still two years dis tant and that party sentiment as to men and policy may undergo several changes in that time. Prophets will have their say, how ever, and the political leaders who drift in and out of here from Washington are in a much more pliable state for tbe interviewer 200 miles from the White House than when under its shadow. Thus we have had Uncle Jerry Busk among us this week full of Har rison enthusiasm for 1892, and Secretary of War Proctor also confided to a reporter yes terday the opinion that Harrison would lead the party hosts again. It is to be noted, however, that while Jerry Busk was declaring to one interviewer that Wisconsin was solid for Harrison, a man who wields greater influence in that State than Busk was telling another reporter under the same roof that no one knew where THE BADGER STATE DELEGATION would stand next time. He was Henry 0. Payne, of Milwaukee, now Secretary of the National Republican Committee, and per haps the shrewdest Bepublican in the North west. Payne handled the delegation at the Chicago Convention, held it together for Busk until he saw the right column in which to land it, and then did so. It is probable that he will wield a like influence with the next delegation, but I doubt whether he could tell, if he would, which way he is heading, though it is snspscted that it is not in the direction of Indiana. I cite this Busk-Payne incident, not be cause it is important, for Wisconsin is far from being a decisive factor in President making, bnt to show how politicians from the same State hold different views of the situation. Both Busk and Proctor, thontrh able and popular, are the accidents of geography in Cabinet making. Naturally, they feel grateful to the power that brought them into tbe national arena, and hence are Harrison men. But how many votes can they control in convention ? is tbe.question by which tbe practical man in politics gauges the weight of their opinions. Secre tary Proctor's State has only half a dozen votes in all, and Senator Edmunds controls their disposition. With tbe latter's aid he held Vermont solid for Harrison through all the balloting the only State that did. If Edmunds consents be can do it again, but' the resnlt would be insignificant either way. NOT MUCH SHOW FOB HARBISON. A Bepublican not in office, but who made Harrison's nomination possible after the man then abroad was impossible, said to me to-day that the Harrison men might find themselves withont a captain a year or so hence. "Harrison may not be so much of a candidate as he is to-day," said he. "I think it extremely probable in the event of a Democratic Honse being elected this fall that he will realize how different it is for a President to re-elect himself, and hewill be content with insuring a. Republican suc cessor. Not since Andrew Jackson's time has a President been re-elected, save in the case of Lincoln and Grant. Events in which they were the central figure re-elected them. Hayes stepned aside rather than risk party success, and Arthur, reaching out for the prize, went so far that the party was left divided, and defeat followed. Had Cleveland unselfishly pnt aside his own ambitions in 1888, the Bepublicans would have had a harder fight and, perhaps, with results not so satisfactory. Washington fixed two terms as the limit for one Presi dent, but I believe the people have cut off one of them." A BEMABKABLE CLAIM. Whatever change a year may bring in the President's attitude toward the 1892 nomi nation, his friends are freely declaring now that he will lead in battle again. Perhaps the most remarkable claim tbey make is that Mr. Blaine is a Harrison man re markable, first, because Blaine has never had any name but his own emblazoned on his banner, and, second, because he has de clared to his closest friends as firmly as he did two years ago that he is forever out of the Presidental arena, either for himself or for others. Only last week he assured an old political ally that he was content in his firesent position and hoped to end his po itical career in it. Tbe man to whom this was said understood it to be a disclaimer of the statement that he was urging Harrison's renomination. Aside from his preferences, whatever they may be, Mr. Blaine is wise enough to know, however, that he conld not bring his old followers together again for any other man but himself, and he would not attempt it. The story comes here on pretty good authority that Senator Sherman has deter mined not to be a candidate for the nomina tion next time, and that he is for McKinley a a reward for the latter's steadfastness to him at Chicago. Sherman has assumed charge of McKinley's tariff bill in the Sen ate, and there are other indications that be and the Major are working together. It is said, foo, by the sponsors lor this story that Sherman could not hope for a solid delega tion from Ohio without which it would be useless for him to make the race. Those who recall the impressive scene in the last convention when McKinley rose in his seat and begged his friends not to put him in the position of betraying the trust Sherman had imposed in him can understand why the latter is now for McKinley. NERVOUS OVEB BALLOT BEFOBM. There is a good deal of nervousness among politicians over the new election law, and the probable lessening of their hold on such voters as have hitherto trained with the "machine," whether Bepublican or Demo cratic for turn the penny on either side it remains a penny still. I hear the ward leaders of both parties express fears of its effect on their respective interests, for thev put but little faith in a voter doing as he is toldwhen he is once out of sight. The new law compels him to remain alone in a booth at least three minutes berore depositing his ballot. Moreover, no "worker" can ap proach within 150 feet of the polls. The point of most interest now, however, especially to the taxpayers who foot the bills, is tbe estimate that at least 40,000,000 bal lots, perforated, and with numbered stubs, must be printed. It seems ridiculous that 1,320,000 voters the Presidental and largest poll .or this State should require so many legal ballots, but tbe new law reads that way, and tbe county clerks are making ready to supply them. The State pays for these which, perhaps, explains the liberal distribution. There will also be "pasters" famished by the candidates.

But that day has passed, and low prices -and bankruptcy have followed. Not withstanding these well-known facts theories ot meat to the consumer has remained not far from the old figure-. Of course, soma class was the gaiper by tbe change. It was generally believed that the great slaughtering and pack ing bouses were intercepting the pronto, bat they denied this. By the investigation of a, committee ot Congress It has been conclusively proved tba ttbey are making enormous profits by the fierce competition of the cattle raisers. They get the benefit and lose nothing, became they do not seriously compete with each other. Tho West Has Attracted Many. Another reason for the depression is worth giving. When Congress donated enormous tracts of land to railroad companies it was necessary for themjto'flnd settlers, wbo hava been drawn from Europe. The steamship and railroad companies have co-operated in this immigration movement. Bnt the evils of the too rapid inflow are apparent In many ways. The farmers, both' In the older sections of tbe country and the new, are now reaping some of. tbe evil consequences. Doubtless farmers in tbe older sections are suffering tbe most. Another reason for depression, and believed by many, is tbo cost of transportation. It is maintained that tho tariff fixed by the railroad companies has given the producer of wheat in Minnesota and Dakota, for example, such advantage over the Eastern prodncer (hatha can no longer raise wheat without loss. It is quite true that the transportation companies can fix a price for transporting wheat high enough to prevent the Western wheat grower from sending a single- bnsbel to market, but whether they are required to adopt such a principle or policy is another question. If the transportation companies ought to make such rates as will protect the Eastern farmers from Western competition, then they certainly have a serious grievance against the transportation companies which should be settled withont delay. But if we understand the Eastern farmers they do not maintain this doctrine; their position is that tbe same rate per mile ought to be charged to alL If this principle was adopted, then tbe Eastern farmer would snrely have a great aavantage over those wbo are raising wheat and other products far from Eastern markets. To this, however, the rail road company wonld reply that a considerable portion of the expense is Incurred in loading and unloading tbe cars and that the expense is just as great for transporting wneat a mile as lor transporting It L&jO miles. They maintain, therefore, and not without reason, that a tariff based simply on mileage, not taking into ac count tbe cost ot loading and unloading the cars, would be very unfair and they ought not to be required to adopt it.
