WBJR-fjaajgglBBS "W- 4 J Mil BOWTO BLAINE The Senate to Amend the Free Sugc ;ar Section of' the McKinlev Bill. ALL EYES UPON CARLISLE. Democracy's Leader Expected Make the Effort of His Life. to ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL PASSED, Sat Will Now Have to Go Thronjjh Conference Committee. TEE BAKKEUPICT MEASDEE TAEEN UP Free sugar advocates are excited by the report that the Senate will radically change that feature of tbe McKinley hill, in ac cordance with Blaine's ideas. "When the measure is again taken up Carlisle and some of the heavy speakers of the Bepubli can side will bo, heard from. The House substitute for the original package bill has been passed. It will now go back to the Senate and then to a conference. IFBOU A STAFF COEEESrOKDEXT.l Washington, July 22. The'tariff bill will probably come to the surface again on Thursday, as it is not thought the interrup tion of the Indian appropriation bill will last longer than to-morrow. Senator Vance, representing the Democratic end of the Finance Committee, will be the next speak er, and alter him it is expected Senator Aldrich will fire the first gun for the Be publicans. , "While Aldrich is full of tariff figures he is not a logical reasoner nor a fluent speaker. He is easily tangled, and for this reason the choice is looked upon as unfortunate by the earnest tariff advocates. But the Senator from Little Bhody is given the honor of opening for the same purpose that Yoorhees was on the Democratic side, to get him out of the way. ALL ETES ON CARLISLE. The greatest speeches of the Bepublicans will be reserved for a time nearer the end of the oratorical period. It is just possible that Senator Carlisle may follow Senator Yance, and in that caseanother than Aldrich may be put forward to answer the man who is looked upon as tbe ablest advocate of tbe Democratic view of the question, and the more able because he does not descend to the petty abuse, flinging of epithets, and mean ingless rhetoric indulged in by such of his colleagues as Yance, Yoorhees and Yest the three unparalleled V's of "Washington legislation. . The free sugar men in the House say that if the Senate adopts any amendment to the tariff bill looking t- the restoration of the duty on sugar at any time, there will be a hard fight over it in conference. They say that the House will never agree to the Fierce amendment providing for the restoration of the dnty at the end of a year if the countries benefited by the repeal do not reciprocate by admitting some of our products to their ports ee of dnty. A COMPROMISE "WITH BLAINE. This amendment is secretly understood to be the compromise with Mr. Blame, which the Finance Committee is willing to accept, and it will, in all probability, be adopted by the Senate. The free sugar men are fight ing with all their might against it, and the party is pretty badly divided on the ques tion. It is ont of the question at this late day J to put the duty directly back on sugar, as sucn a change in the bill would take away the principal reduction of revenue in the measure, and make the aggregate a consid erable increase of the average duty. But the Pierce proposition leaves free sngar in tbe bill to help carry the schedules through, and yet permits the restoration of the dnty afterward. This is regarded as a very skillful move, but the advocates of free sugar will not hear to It The adoption of the plan, they say, will embarrass the situation by causing a fight between tbe two Houses. A DIVIDED HOUSE. It is not so certain, however, that their claim that the House would not agree to the amendment is well founded. There are some 10 or 11 Bepublicans in tbe Honse who want the duty retained on sugars, and who voted under protest for the bill with free sugar in it. These men may be relied on to support the reciprocity amendment if they get a chance, and they would probably have all, or nearly all, of the .Democratic votes with them. In this connection it is asserted here to night that President Harrison has drafted a message to Congress, urging the adoption of the1 Blaine reciprocity scheme, but on broader terms and with a scope far more ex tensive than has been advocated by the Secretary of State. Unless it be accepted as a fact that Mr. Blaine has far more influ ence over President Harrison than has been popularly supposed, it is difficult to account for this action. But, whatever the cause, it can be stated authoritatively that tbe rough dralt of the message has been typewritten and is now in the President's desk. Both Senators Aid rich and Morrill, or the Senate Finance Committee, became converted to the Blaine doctrine recently, and thev have added their influence to that of tbe Secretary of State. HARBISON IS CAUTIOUS. "While these Bepublicans are Tery hope ful, they are by no means certain, however, as the President is displaying his usual caution and lack of decision. If he were to put the matter to the test of a Cabinet vote the Blaine party would feel more certain as othe result, but up to this time the Presi- entnai reiusea to commit himself .l.fl. nitely to their programme. With a major ity or tbe Cabinet in favor of the scheme, and with considerable Senatorial pressure urging him on, tbe President would perhaps have no hesitation in sending in the message at once if it were not for his Jear of the House. j2Tah lhe excePtion of Hitt, of Illinois, WrV leading Bepublican Bepresentatlve so far as heard from, is willing to pledge himself to support the proposed scheme of reciprocity, except upon the sugar feature. Mr. McKinley, by tbe advice of Senator Sherman, has grown very non-committal on the subject. Mr. Beed has told the Presi dent very bluntly that he will kill the scheme in the Honse. Even such Bepub licans as Candler, of Massachusetts, who are very moderate protectionists, and who usually side with the importers, are against bringing up'the question of reciprocity at this session. STRONG OPPOSITION. Candler, indeed, has announced his inten tion of advising thePresidentagainst taking up the matter this session, and he has con siderable influence at the White House. For this reason it is still possible that at the last moment the President 'may refuse to send in the message, but he has already shown himself so entirely in favor of all the other Pan-American ideas of his Secretary of State, and has consulted the members of tbe House so little, that he may even take the step to which he is so strongly urged. It is understood that tbe duty on plate glass and cotton bagging is to be increased by the Senate. It is claimed that certain plate glass, which is nearly finished, but purposely left' smoky on one side, is im ported at a low dutv as unfinished glass. The House bill contained a provision to cor rect this alleged fraudulent practice, but the Senate committee struck this provision out The glass men are given to understand that this clause is to be restored.

SOON BE Tbe Original PncUoeo Bill Passed br the Honse It Is Llkelr to be a Law Before Another Week lias Come. rraoM a stait cokbespoxdxht. j Washington, July 22. By the wholly unexpected majority of 176 yeas to 38 nays tbe House original package bill was this afternoon passed as a substitute for the Senate bill, which was the measure which had been considered by the House. There was no discussion, but for the voting there was a large attendance of members, and the galleries were well filled. "While many of the members look upon the Senate bill as clearer in its language than the House, there is no doubt in any mind, apparently, that either would be effective. Senator Hoar, who was an en thusiastic advocate of the Senate bill, said to The Dispatch correspondent this evening that he supposed the substitute which passed the House would answer the same purpose as the Senate measure, and that if there was any verbal looseness in its construction it could be remedied in tbe conference. The main object was to have a law passed giving the States the power to make their respective laws controlling the sale ol liquor operative, and there would be no disposition, he thought, on the part of the Senate to split hairs, or to impede the passage of any law which would be effective if the State and local authorities were in sympathy with it. Conferees will be appointed and meet with out delay, and it is believed that the bill will be signed by the Speaker and the Pres ident of the Senate, and receive tbe signa ture of the President before the end of the week. The following is the House measure: That whenever any article of commerce is imported into any State trom any otber State, Territory or foreign nation and there held or offered for sale, tbe same shall then bo subject 10 toe laws or snen state.

That no discrimination shall be mad by any State In favor of its citizens against those of otber States or Territories in re.-pect to tbe salo ot any article of commerce nor in favor of its own products, against tbose of like character produced In otber States or Territories.

THE UNPRECEDENTED PRICE - Now Quoted for Silver la the Markets ol tbe World. SPECIAL TELLGEAU TO, TBE DISPATCH. 1 Washington, July 22. "Thi price, 40d an ounce, quoted in London to-day for bar silver, while unprecedented, per haps," said Director of the Mint Leech this afternoon, "is largely, due to speculation in silver. Of course, the primarv cause is the passage of the silver bill. You will observe, if you have watched the stock market, that silver is doing some very lively upward sprinting in the United States just at present, although to-dajr it has dropped a point. Certain persons in New York have for some time been engaged in getting a corner on silver-pending tbe passage of the silver bill. The Western National Bank has alone stored away in its vaults about 7,000,000 ounces, while upward of 2,000,000 ounces are in tbe hands of others in that citr. "The law goes into effect on September 13 next Until that date and for one month thereafter it will be impossible to say with anything like accuracy what will be the market price for silver. It may have a still higher tendency, inasmuch as we are com pelled to buy 4,000,000 ounces a month, and it may be several points lower than it is to day. But whatever is the market price, that the Secretary of the Treasury is bound to pay. We have only to-dav received the silver bill officially from Congress, and are now leisurely engagca in studying its pro visions." AH APPEAL FOB FUNDS Far tbo Proper Completion of tho Pittibnrff I'nblio Baildlns. Washington, July 23. Senator Cam eron to-day received a communication from the Architect of the Treasury, inclosing let ters addressed to tbe Speiker of the House of Bepresentativcs and the President of the United States, requesting that an appropria tion of $110,000 be made (or tbe heating apparatus, elevators and approaches for the United States Court House and postoffice bnilding at Pittsburg, which items had not been included in the sundry civil approDria tion bill, and requesting the Senator to have it inserted. A similar letter was addressed to Senator Quay. Senator Cameron will give the matter his attention. In the letters to the Speaker and the President it is set forth that the limit of the cost of the site and building has been sev eral times increased, until finally estab lished at $1,800,000, on' account of which appropriations have been made at different times aggreeating $1,500,000. and an appro priation of $249,000.

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION LOWER HOUSE. IN THE A Texan Member Makes a Vigorous Attack Upon tbe Measure None bat Lawyers Allowed to Serve ns Referees Tho Debate. Washington, July .22. Late this af ternoon the bankruptcy bill was taken up in the House. Mr. E. B. Taylor, ot Ohio, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, opened the debate with a speech in favor of the bill as one in whose preparation no pains had been spared to make it just and equitable to all parties. He said that a general bankruptcy bill, which would operate with celerity aad cheapness, would be for the general good cannot be denied. Mr. Culberson, of Texas, opposed the bill belore the House. In its general features and scope the bill was not materially different from the Lowell bill of a former Congress, and from the act of 1867, against which latter public sentiment became so strong that tbe Senate, in 1878, finally ac ceded to the third request of the House that it should be repealed. He could not under stand why there shonld be such an anxiety on the part of the money and, manu facturing interest for the passage of this measure, unless it was that the shadow of the legislation of this Congress had been cast over them. "With the McKinley bill absorbing the earnings or the people in order to enrich the manu facturers; with the silver bill, which lodged in the Secretary of the Treasury (always dominiated by Wall street), the power to demonetize silver after one year; with an election bill which struck down at one fell blow tbe unsurpassed prosperity of the South which bad arisen from the ashes of a great war, it might be that the convention conceived it necessary to provide a wreck ing train to pick up the debris of fortunes which would be scattered all over tbe country when these laws were enforced. Applause. The bill was radically bad. It might pass but an indignant public sentiment in less than 12 months would demand that it be swept from the Senate books. Mr. Wheeler.Jof Alabama, said that the Speaker of the House flad ordered the bill to be passed. Laughter. He bad or dered the election bill to be passed, and it had passed, and he presumed that this bill would. Bnt it bristled with assaults on the freedom ot the people, just as tbe election bill did. The only reason he could see for this bill was that the Bepublican party was going into bankruptcy and wanted a chance to be discharged and begin business again. Mr. Keller, of Kansas, inquired whether, under the provisions of the bill, lawyers only could be appointed referees, and received an affirmative response. Mr. Kelley said it was not right to discriminate against farm ersand he was one himself and business men who were not members of the bar. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, and Mr. Hayes, ot Iowa, gave a modified support to the bill, advocating the general tenor of the meas ure, but suggesting certain changes, PBESEOENTAL PLANS.

The Presi dental party will go in state on a Govern ment vessel, and will be received in a man ner fitting for the commander-in-chiet of the regular army.

Her Lover Walked With Another Girl nnd She Took Laudanum. 16PECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DI8FATCIL1 New Bloomfield, Pa., July 22. The little town of Loysville, Perry county, is ex cited over the suicide of Mamie Hostetter, the 16-year-old daughter of Frank Hostetter, the village blacksmith. Mamie was found dead in bed, an empty laudanum bottle standing on the bureau top of her bed chamber giving evidence, of the means em ployed to take her life. She also left a note on the bureau wb'ch read as follows: "lam tired of life and want to die; I cannot stand mv troubles any longer. Bury me alongside of my grandfather in the new Bloomfield Cemetery." Mamie had a lover named George Boyer, and between the two a beautiful attachment appeared to exist. At the cake walks, pic nics and other public frolics they were to be seen happy in each other's company, while tbe gossips of the neighborhood looked on and smiled approvingly. On Saturday evening Mamie saw George on the village streets in company with another young lady, which plunged her into a state of frenzy. She visited the general store of John L.

Colonel Streator and Lieutenant Colonel Butledge had to use force to quell a dis turbance in the Sixteenth Begiment yester day. At one time it looked as though the entire regiment would be placed under arrest. Beaver was received at the camp with booming of cannon. The sutler's quarters were the scene of another disturb ance. iraOJt A STAFF COBBESPOOTINT.l Camp Habtbanft, Mt. Gbetna, July 22. Governor Beaver arrived in camp at noon to-day and will inspect the Guard to morrow. He came rdown from Harrisburg accompanied by ex-Adjutant General Latta, candidate for Lieutenant Governor Colonel Watres and others, and, amid the smoke of booming cannon and tbe rattle of mnsketry, tbe party was escorted to division headquar ters. The gentlemen were met at Mt. Gretna station by General Snowden, Adju tant General Hastings, Assistant Adjutant General North and staffs. Captain C. S. Jones.tof the Sheridan Troop, was in command of the cavalry bat talion. Prom the station they marched across the parade ground. At division headquarters the galloping procession was brought to a walk. Captain Hunt, of Pitts burg, with his battery of artillery, were sta tioned on the brow of the hill to the right of headquarters. a boom fob beaver. As the escort to Governor Beaver appeared climbing the road a boom saluted the Gov ernor. Gun after gun was fired until the 17 cannon bad been discharged. The work of the men was done in such a soldierly and systematic manner that the last four guns went on with apparently but one report. Meat and drink was the first considera tion, and the Governor sat down to lunch at Adjutant General Hastings' table. After refreshing himself he mounted a horse and, in company with General Snowdeo, rode through the camp. After making a super ficial inspection of everything he said he was immensely pleased with the camp. After dinner he attended the reunion of the Johnstown sufferers. To-morrow the Governor will inspect the entire Guard. The Fourth, Eighth, Thir teenth and Fifteenth Begiments were in spected to-day. Each company reflected credit on the officers. attach: on poet flinn. Another assault was made npon the Sec ond Brigade sutler's shed last night As the clerks were closing up some persons be. can throwing rocks and stones into tbe shed. Tbe guard of the Tenth Begiment had to be called out to quell the disturbance. Colonel Streator had an experience with several of the soldier boys, and the latter are not liable to forget it. The camp of the Six teenth 'Begiment was in an uproar, and the combined efforts of Colonel Streator and the guard could'aot stop it. Tbe Colonel was brigade officer of the day, and Lieutenant Colonel Butledge, of Pittsburg, was division officer of the day. During a fight in the Sixteenth's quar ters Streator rushed in and with true Wash ington grit collared the men who were fight ing. The companions of the scrappers tiied to rescue them, and one of them called Colonel Streator a name neither soft bor sweet The Colonel grabbed the man by the throat, and, with a warning to the others, pushed them back. Colonel Butledge waded in, and the two officers drove the crowd back from the company tent intense excitement. The excitement was intense, and members of the noisy camp were scurrying to and fro. Colonel Hulings, commander of the regiment, recognizing the vital importance of doing something and doing it quickly, and thinking the whole regiment was to be placed under arrest, sent an officer to General Wylie asking for 20 minutes' time to quiet tbe disturbance. The request was granted, and the officers of the regiment ordered out to put down the uprising. It was over half an hour before the men were quieted down, and the lesson they received will not likely be forgotten. The hospital stewards are being rushed with orders for vaseline to be used on chapped lips and faces. About nine out of every ten men on the ground has lips like the teeth on a rough comb. Physicians say the dry air and lack of moisture is the cause of the complaint" Outside of supplying vaseline the hospital corps has little to do. There is no sickness ot any kind. Drill, drill, drill is the song of the soldier to-day. The maneuvers of Monday were taken up again this morning, and the heavy tramp of thousands of feet with the rattle of muskets kept time to the hours as they dragged themselves heavily along. the centeb of attbaction. Nearly every regiment was out for drill and the improvement in the movement ofthe troops can be readily noticed. The regulars, of course, were the center of attraction to the people who had time to look at them. The Eighteenth regiment had three compa nies out, and held three in reserve. They attracted considerable attention and the powder used was not wasted, as the results will compensate for the expense. The battalion drill of the Fourteenth was also a pleasing and interesting performance. The regiment held a dress parade at G o'clock. Tne Tenth was also out in regi ment and skirmish drill, while Captain Simons, of Company H, of the Eighteenth, had command of the skirmish drill and rode Colonel Smith's horse. The spectators thought he was Colonel ofthe regiment and ludut. vuLuptiiueutary comments on Ills ap pearance in the saddle. The strength of the camp is a subject of speculation. It is impossible to get tbe ac curate reports ofthe number of men on the ground in the service. The following are the official estimates, furnished at the division headquarters to-day. NEABLY TEN THOUSAND. Counting in the regulars there are about 8.500 men in camp weariner uniforms. The count of the Second Brigade shows 16 suS omcers. An tne regiments tbe Fifth has 405 men and officers present, with 11 absent.

The Fifteenth, 453 present, 23 men absent The Sixteenth, 432 present, 3 officers and 45 enlisted men absent Tbe Eighteenth carries the banner, with 535 men present and only one officer absent Not one enlisted man is on the rolls who is not in camp. Tbe officer absent is Captain Charles Holmes, whose father is said to be dyine. Tbe total strength of the brigade reported is 2,880 officers and men. This does not include Battery B and the Sheridan troop of cavalry. There are 130 officers and men in both organizations and as soon as the reports are received tbe brigade will be found; to have 3,010 altogether, and maintains the name of being the largest brizade in the State. There are 2.301 and 2,435 men in the First and Third Brigades respectively.

An effort will be made to get up a match shoot between members of crack companies in the Second Brigade and the sharpshooters among the regnlars. If the contest comes Qff it is likely that several Pittsburgers will be among the National Guard contestants. The majority of them, however, will be picked Irom the Thirteenth Begiment, of Scranton. Nearly every mtin in the regi ment is a sharpshooter, and it is the crack organization of the State in rifle practice. Colonel Watres, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is division inspector of rifle prac tice, and arrived in camp to-day. The rifle range has not been fixed up yet, and none of the regiments will practice much. Members of the Fourteenth Begiment will go out to morrow morning and try their pieces. The Eighteenth has too much to do to think: about shootintr practice. Governor Beaver knows good mnsie when he hears it He paid the Cathedral Band of Pittsburg a compliment to-day when he had the band ordered out to play at division neaaquarters.

The sugges tions made by Governor Gordon, of Georgia, that in the event of the passage of the Fed eral election or Force bill, the South should resort to boycotting Northern commercial honses and Northern products, was well re- I ceived here by a number of persons. Ex- Senator Jones, late Collector of Customs and a member ofthe Democraliocommittee, agreeH fully with Gordon, and thought that if the South is to be constantly threat ened with hostile legislation it will be the duty of her people to protect themselves by withdrawing their trade and patronage from those who persist in thus making war upon their liberties and happiness. He suggested farther that the people of the Southern States should abstain from partici pating in and supporting the Chicago fair if the law is passed. A number of tbe prominent men agreed with him on this line of policy.

Walter Van Walk enburg, of Philadelphia, has been robbing Chicago women of their diamonds in a bold sort or way. He is 21 years old and has been known here as F. S. Predrum. His first victim was Kitty Howell, of Philadel phia, who has been visiting here. Van Walkenburg became acquainted with Miss Howell through a street flirtation, and on July 7 accompanied her to a concert pavilion, where he drusged her. While partially unconscious she besged to be taken home and Van Walken burg helped her upon a car and accom panied her downtown, where be again drugged her and alter stripping her ot her diamonds, left her in a cheap hotel. The jewels stolen were worth S550. Last Sun day the officers again heard from the young man. A girl 17 or 18 years of age reported the robbery of a $50 diamond. Last night two officers entered a saloon and found him with Mrs. Dora May, who was ablaze with gems. The prisoner drew a revolver. On his person were found a bottle of chloroform and the ring of the 17-year-old typewriter. TTATT. LYING A FOOT DEEP. A Western Stream Tears Down tbo Canyon Sweeping Everything Before It.

D., causing great destruc tion to life and property. rSrSCIAL TELEGEAM.TO THE DISPATCH! CiNCrNNATr, July 22. This has been a night of horror in Cincinnati. A printers' quarrel at 7:30, ending in murder, was fol lowed an hour later by one woman killing another. At 10:30 the most calamitous fire, as regards loss of life, the city has known since the great Sullivan fire, which cost thirteen lives, broke out in a junk shop at 39 Public landing. Thirty minutes later it was ont, but five, probably six and possibly seven-lives went with it The fire started in a small junk shop on the first floor, and, before even the cry of fire could be raised, had filled the two stories above with smoke and death. There was but one mode of egress, a stairway that caught fire like tinder. ALL WERE ASLEEP. All the inmates in tbe house, as far as known, were asleep at the time, and those who awakened only did so to find them selves encircled bv flames and smoke. The building had been used for various purposes until refitted for a tenement house, and its lower floors were oil saturated. , Belore tbe fire department could arrive neighbors had climbed to the second floor windows and rescued five persons, all badly burned. On the third floor Solomon Lin sky, his wife and 8-year-old son were found huddled on the floor, the boy dead in his mother's arms, the father dead at her side, and she alive but unconscious, dying before she reached the hospital. Evidently she had picked the little fellow from his bed and started for the window when suffocated. A pathetic scene in the room was a pot of cheap flowers sitting at the head of the boy's trundle bed. It had escaped both fire and water and bloomed there as beautifully as if death were miles away. SCAECELY ALIVE. Two other police, whose names have not been ascertained, were taken' out uncon scious and can scarcelv live until morning. Mary Philippon, a 17-year old girl, es caped by a rear window, but fell uncon scious on the street and wars taken to the. home bf a friend on Broadway, where she lies probably dying. It is said there are two old people in the debris at the rear of the building which caved in. If so, their remains will-not be found before morning. The property loss is small, the bnilding being a mere shell and tbe stuff in tbe junk shop valueless. The scene about it was weird. Down in front, in the harbor filled with steamboats, many' electric lights glowed brilliantly, but on the river an excursion steamboat joaded to the guards sent strains of music ttfthe shores. About the building a motley crowd of blacks, Italians and Poles pressed to tbe black, gaunt walls, women were crying, men cursing, and little children terrified darted about calling loudly for father and mother. A GENEBAL FAVOBITE. The grief over the little boy was great. He seemed to have been a favorite, and sobs were beard on every hand as be was carried to the patrol. One woman, half crazed by fright, screamed to tbo top of her voice for her brother. A dozen people with badly burned ha'nds and faces got away before their names were learned. Three bodies arc at the morgue, two of the burned are dying at the hospital and one on Broadway. CYCLONE IN TEE N0ETHWE8T.

OUT FORTHE STUFF, Good Horses Contest for Big Prizes at Homewood's Picturesque Track, THREE FIRST-CLASS RACES Witnessed by Oyer Three Thonsar Interested Spectators. 1IAKT PfiOMINEiNTP EOPLEPfiESE! Kevival of Interest in Trotting ajd Facing Dorses ANTICIPATED FE01I THIS MEETING Homewood was full of life yesterday. It was the opening day of the grand circuit trotting meeting, and 3,000 persons were in attendance. Three races were ran in good time, and it is hoped that the meeting will revive interest in trotting and pacing in this section". Pittsburg is blooded. No one who was out at Homewood yesterday would doubt that It was the first day of the first grand circuit season in tnis city for several years, and the event drew out over 3,000 persons to what is probably the most picturesque racing track in the world. The day was beautiful. A cool wind tempered the cheerful if sometimes oppressive rays of the sun, and occasionally a fleecy cloud inter posed between Old Sol and the spectators, and effected a pleasant contrast to the glittering shafts that were furnishing tho features of those present. Almost everybody was at the track. Mayor Gourley was not there yesterday, but he will make up for it before tbe week is past, as he dearly loves a horse with speed. His office was well represented, however, aa Chief Clerk Oertermaier, Assistant Clerk Flinn and Messenger Gale were all there, and were apparently enjoying themselves. FBOM THE OTHEB SIDE. Mayor Wyman, ofAllegheny, was there. He waived the subject of annexation, and viewed the trotters with a critical eye. He knows a good horse, as he formerly owned Kinsman, which will appear in the 223 pace on Thursday. Judge Gripp and Will iam McCIeary, Bepublican nominee for Sheriff, were on the ground bright and early, and Chief Brown and County Com missioner Mercer showed up daring the afternoon. In fact, it would nearly exhanst tbe official directory of the two cities to tell of all the prominent men who were there. Every business and profession was repre sented. Men were there whose names on a check would be worth seven figures, and seme were on hand who were worth so little that they could not make a sale of them selves unless they included their dead bodies. There was a good sprinkling of tbe fair sex, and their bright costnmes and pretty faces materially added to the beauty of the scene. A number of hay cocks in tbe meadow in the center of the track furnished a grateful odor and lent a bucolic flavor to the occasion. The music was good, tbe Great Western Band being in attendance, and discoursed sweet strains which set the hearts of the au dience to dancing in unison with the airs. . NO LACK OF EXCITEMENT. The racing was excellent, there being several grand stand finishes, which kept many persons guessing the winner of the heat until tbe judges rendered their de cision. A little touch of painful excite ment was added in the first heat of the 225 pace, when Treasurer and Daisy V collided in the first quarter, dumping their drivers and wrecking their sulkies. Treasurer kept on at a mad gallop around the track, drag ging the disabled buggy after him, and it looked for a time as if he would wreck tbe whole field. He was finally caught and after the excitement bad cooled down it was found that no ont; was injured. President T. K.'lverr naturally was in a happy mood at the excellent attendance and splendid weather. He said: "It looks as if we were likely to have a boom in trotting in this section again. A meeting of this character is a stimulus to the owners of horses to improve their stock, and 1 should not be surprised to see some Pitts burg horses come out as great speed 'de velopers. At the present time there are a large number of fast pacers in the two cities." ' Mr. E. McCall, of this city, .ind tbo owner of Monroe Brister, which wps among the leaders in the 223 pace yesterday, spoke strongly of the lavorable effect of these racing meetings. ONE OB TWO KICKS. The judges were William Van Osten, of Philadelphia, Joseph Winderof, President ofthe Point Breeze Association, and M. D. McDonald. General Manager of the Pitts burg and Western Bailroad. The timers were J. L. Cravens and John McElroy. The jndges had a fairly easy time and their decisions were not questioned to any great extent, although there was some dissatisfac tion in tbe award ofthe first heat of the first race to Lizzie S, when to many it appeared that Viola Clay had the best of it by a nose. They also took occasion to call down the driver of St. Elmo for not making a better showing in the 220 trot, but it was stated that the horse, bad been traveling on the cars a great deal of late and was not in shape. It was just 2:30 o'clock when the bell in the j ad ires' stand called out the starters for the 2:30 trot After scoring the second time 'Klaxie broke a quarter boot and delayed the start about 20 min utes. After returning to the track on the first score they were given the word to a good start, Viola Clay in the van to the hall, Lizzie S second by two lengths, the others strung out. At the three-quarter Lizzie S's driver drove her up, aud on en-, teriug the stretch she was lapped on Viola Clay, and from the draw gates to the wira they both fought it cut A CLOSE FINISn. Lizzie S got tbe heat by a neck. Many of the spectators who saw tbe finish dis puted the decision and said Viola Clay had gotten the heat Even the owner, Mr. S. T. Shirley, doubted the beat. Lakewood Priuce finished third. Time 222. In the second heat, Viola Clay took the track and lead to the quarter with Lake wood Prince and Sleepy Dan three lengths away. At tbe half the order was Viola by two lengths, the rest strung out, with the exception of Lakewood, who closed oa . entering the stretch, and at the draw-gat 1 i i .3 1 l Ti-- ' - --5" .
