Cincinnati, June 3. People -who vis
ited the Latonia track to-day had an expe
rience they never want again. The day up
to 2:30 r. M. liad been lovely. At that
hour there was a commotion in the skies,
and a huge black bank of clouds thrust itself
with horrible gyrations aho e Cincinnati.
They lingered there but a brief time, then
shot southeastward toward Latonia. In
Covington the storm lingered long enough
to partially demolish the C. & O. railroad
shops and take the life of Joseph "Watts,
then made direct for Latonia.
Almost the first warning of danger was
the flying shutters of the club house. The
great audience instantly realized there was
danger and started to its feet. Before it
could move, long rows of shedding began to
lir apart and hustle through the air. At
the same moment the roof of the grand
siana groauea unaer a ternnc strain ana ex
citement seized the multitude. AVomen
turned pale and scrambled, shriekinc,
toward the exits; men lo't control of them
sehes and joined in the mad flight
Terror was added when the wind caught
up deserted scats in the upper rows and
noisilj tossed them about. A veritable
panic set in. Men and women tumbled over
each other, leaping from the front row out I
yond. Unconscious women, decked in rich
robes and costly jewels, were dragged rather
than carried out. How that "stand was
emptied without death will remain a mys
tery. Hundreds of elegant toilets were
ruined.
Scenes of Wild Excitement.
There Mere 3,000 people in the grand
stand, one-third women, 'when the storm
ttruck it. Horse sheds outside the race-cour.-.e
were picked up and strewn clear
across the railway traik, 200 yards away.
Blinding sheets of water, driven by a 40-mile-an-nour
hurricane, drenched "every
body. The wind toppled the upper scats of
the grand stand over and rolled them toward
the front, amid the screams of women and
the wild rush for the broad central stairway.
Brave men rushed into the crazy crowd
and averted a calamity. The crowd went
down safely to shelter under the stand.
Many women fainted. One woman cleared
the fence next the track with a single bound
and ran across the track in the howling
storm. Another woman is reported to hae
thrown her baby over the railing onto the
grass and aftcrwaid to ha"e picked it up
uninjured. Half an hour later the wet
crowd as bitting on moist benches watching
the races.

At first it was thought the proper thing
to indulge in open hostilities, and fight
that big concern in the courts of law. That
idea, however, did not meet with tho views
of the majority of cool-headed ones, who
predicted long and costly fights in court,
with no benefit to the producer. They say
the only successful way to fight the Standard
was to use its own weapons by forming a
rival combination. Their idea was to enter
the field as leasers, producers, shippers and
finally refiners of oil. The men with this
idea have been talking of it for a long time,
and gradually, one by one, they won over to
their views the majority of the members of
the Producers' Protective Association.

Springfield, III., June 3. An extra
ordinary scene of wild confusion was wit
nessed in the Lower House of the General
Assembly this afternoon when the "World's
Fair bill, which, as passed by the Sen
ate, appropriated 51,000,000 for Illinois'
exhibit, was acted upon. Efforts to reduce
the appropriation to 500,000 or fCOO.000
were successively defeated, but on a motion
fixing the amount at $750,000 it was ap
parent that the vote would nearly be a tie.
Then Speaker Crafts (Dem.) voted for the
amendment, and, ignoring a Republican
member who wished to change and vote in
favor of the bill, hurriedly announced that
the vote had been closed.
Then the House became a bedlam of
shrieking and hurrahing men. In the face
of a terrific storm of protest the Speaker
would listen onlyto a motion to adjourn,
and calmly declared the motion carried.
The members were now yelling and running
about like so many Comanches. Half a
dozen made a rush for the Speaker to drag
the "Czar," as they called him, from the
chair, but were forcibly held back by bis
friends. More than one Legislator reached
for his revolver, and a riot seemed inevita

New Yobk, June 3. There was excite

Preparing for Active Competition.
Finally the present convention was called,
in order to get the best independent inter
ests together and put the scheme of compe-
tition into practical shape. Every local
assembly in Pennsylvania and NewTork
is represented here, and the proceedings of
the convention up to date have been very
harmonious.
Hon. J. "W. Lee, of Franklin, was elected
presiding officer, and the various committees
on organizations, etc., are. hard at work.
Two quiet sessions of organization were held
yestcrdav, and three important sessions
were held to-day. There are, all told, 40
delegates in attendance, and they meet in

proceedings have leaked out.

A Grudge Against the Standard.
George H. Terry, of Oil City, and a man
prominent in the movement, said to-day:
"The Producers' Protective Association is
strnnper in numbers and in spirit than ever.
New members are daily coming in from all
over the field. "Everything is working har
moniously, and the producers express the
greatest confidence in the association."
in conversation wuu uiuer incmucia ox
the association to-night it was learned that
the producers have never forgiven the
Standard Oil Company for the trick played
on them during the famous shut-down move
ment They now concede that they were
hoodwinked, and that badly. They say
they went into that movement in all good
faith, expecting, ot course, that a curtail
ment of production and a decrease of stocks
would cause an advance in price. They also
expected benefits from the sale of the 5,000,
000 barrels of oil laid aside for their own use
by the Standard.
To their surprise'and disgust the whole
scheme worked the other way, and they
realized, too late, that they had piayed right
into the hands of the monopoly. They had
curtailed production for a year, with the re
sult that many individuals were actuaUy
ruined, their wells either being flooded out
by salt water or becoming; non-productive
on account of the long idleness, during
which some independentneighborshad been
pumping all year and had taken their oil.
"Where the Producers-Were Fooled.
Then, when the 5,000,000 barrels were to
be sold for the benefit of these men who had
sacrificed their production, it was found that
the carrying charges accruing to the Stand
ard had eaten up all the profits, and that the
Standard had bought themaU for a song
for not 1 cent, in fact.
Then this was not the worst of it Tho
shut down had run the enormous stocks of
28.000.000 barrels down to n paltry 10.000.-
000 or 12,000,000, and producers expected, of
course, to seen corresponding advance in
the price of oil. They were amazed to find
instead of a higher price that oil went
down, and after fluctuating for a year, final
ly landed at the nominal price of- 70 cents,
just 10 cents lower than the acknowledged
average cost of producing one barrel of oil.
Here the price has remained until to-day,
and only lately hav6 they learned why a
lessening in stock is not followed by a cor
responding advance in.pricg of a product
Where theTrnst Had the Advantage.
"The reason is simply this," said your in
formant "When the stocks were up in
the 30,000,000 barrels the Standard could
ndt control the price of crude as they
wished. The 5few York Exchange clique
often carried it an ay out of their reach, and
had it not been that they had it in their
power to issue immense amounts of certifi
cates, no matter what these certificates rep
resented, the Standard would have been
crowded into a hole long ago. As it was,
their oil and-its price was at the mercy of
every exchange that desired to form a Dull
or bear pool, and time and again have Pitts
"burg, Oil City or Bradford carried the price
about as they pleased.
"Well, after having their market played
with as long as they could stand it, the com
bination thought of some means, by which
they could get their stocks reduced to a fig
ure that would enable them to carry the
stocks themselves, and not depend on out
siders. Even the rich Standard Oil Com
pany found it impossible to buy 32,000,000
barrels of oil and lay it aside until used in
the form of refined, but if they could re
duce the stocks to, say 10,000,000 or 12,000.
000, then they could handle it themselves,
and, being the practical owners of all the
oil, they could put their own price on it

Kociiestek, N. Y., June 3. John Rob
inson, who runs a menagerie at Ontario
Beach, on the shore of Lake Ontario, heard
the'other day that he could buy a fine, big
bear cheap in Buffalo. He went up there
and looked at the bear and concluded that
it was just what ho wanted for the menag
erie and bought it on the spot. He made
arrangements to have it sent to Ontario
Beach by Charlotte, and came home to pre
pare a place for It.
The bear -n as shipped by express on train
24 from Buffalo, which is known as the
Lyons accommodation. The express busi
ness is heavy between Buffalo and Lyons
on that train, and although it is an accom
modation there is a car devoted to express
matter exclusively. In this car the bear
was shipped to-day. It was placed in a
crate made of rough boards and was seem
ingly secure.
, A Neglect of the Seller.
When Mr. llobinson bought the bear the
man of whom he purchased it neglected to
tell him that it was an evil-tempered brute,
and the express messenger, whose name
was Tygart, took no more notice of it than
if it had been a crate of strawberries. When
the train waS nearing Crittenden Tygart
noticed that the bear was uneasy, and soon
was surprised to see the boards of the crate
bulge out as if bruin was making an effort
to get out in the car and keep him company.
He became somewhat frightened and took
several barrels of fish that were in the car
and piled them on the crate. At this the
bear became very angry, and with a growl
dtom out ol the crate, scattered the fish in
all directions and made for Tygart on his
hind legs, growling furiously, Tygart was
badly scared, and turned and ran for the
door of the car. It was a close race between
messenger and bear, but Tygart got to the
door first, rushed out on the platform and
slammed the door behind him. He crawled
up on the tender and over to the locomo
tive, and there he stayed until the train
reached Rochester.
Bruin Jnst Had a Picnic
In the car among the express goods were
barrels offish, crates of strawberries, several
crocks of butter and some boxes of fancy
crackers. The bear was not long in finding
this out and he proceeded to make an elabor
ate lunch of these eatables and to amuse him
self by tearing the express packages that
were in the car. When the train reached
Eochester the car was side-tracked, and 6n
looking through the window of the car it
was discovered that the interior of the car
looked as if a cyclone had struck it

was still growling ferociously and rushing

that he should be able to advise her on the
matter in which he was her counselor. Miss
Dickinson, with entire frankness, informed
Mr. Heverin that jn view of the serious and
expensive entanglement jn which she has
been recently forced, shewould be .unable,
for pecuniary reasons, to stay in town for
any length of time, adding that "while Mrs.
Ackley is my hostess, I do not feel that I
ought to impose upon her generosity."
To this Mr. Haverein replied; "That
will be all right," and going to the office of
the Continental Hotel, which Miss Dickin
son had designated as the place of her
choice while in this city, he said to the
clerk in charge:
"You know me, I think?"
"Why, certainly," was the answer.
"Then I want vou to make a note of the
fact that I will be personally responsible
for any indebtedness that Miss Dickinson
may incur in this hotel during her sojourn
here."
"That is all right, sir," was the answer.
This morning Miss Dickinson and her
friend Mrs. Ackley sent down their hand
bags and money to "nurchase tickets to New

baggage and ticKets were retained,
and a message sent that they must

himself, and drawn upon the order of the

Mr. Heverin this evening said: 'It was

is that the clerk whom I saw.at the time the

treated Miss Dickinson as I would treat
any client whom I undertook to protect,
and her presence in town was necessary. As
to the fact that only a clerk was to blame,
that is a matter over which I certainly had
no control."
