There was a deal of activity our ct Home
wood Park yesterday and it visitor thero
would ooi come to the conclusion that
something great was appro:.rhing. Theru
were score of horsemen and scores of
horses on the tracks nnd in and abcut the
"tables, and these horsemen and horses are
the mosl funioiK. In the country. Of course
it was quite evident truit it wns the "Sunday
before the races." r'tttburRcrs m ere out in
force and huggicR an J other kind ot vehicles
were arriving in the park during the day
There Is always t-onietliiiig interesting at
Homowood Park on the Sunday before the
.irand circuit meeting. Veterans who have
been following the circuit for years are on
hand to tell what has been and what will be
iccording to their opinions and younc men
just beginning to reach out for fame in the
hoi so world are all to be met with. IIorcs
of one kind or another are on the tracks
almost durin" the entire day. Yesterday
was no exception.
All the horses entered in the races, except
the stables of J. II. Goldsmith and liudd no
ble, had arrived on the track yesterday.
These two stables will be on hand early this
morning. Tho last to arrive yesterday was
rapa" Hamlon's f-tring from the Village
1'ara.i, and a line lot of horses they arc.
-lustina and Belle Hamlin, tho famous trot
ting team, were looking as line as silk and
their veteran owner is confident that thoy
will do something wonderful this week.
Nellie King, another of the Hamlin entry,
was looking as chipper as possible. She is
in the 2"29 olas for tomorrow and she Is in
line condition. Jocko, the Hamlin pacer,
entered in the 2:1G pace, aIo looked well,
and so was the great Hal Pointer. In short,
Mr. Hamlin's stable is In first class condi
tion. Uncle John Turner was also there with
Happy Bee. Siglight and Abble V, and Ed
Gears, who alw ayb has a first-class pacer or
two, was prominent, and so was the Historic
John Splan. The latter thinks the meeting
will bo a great one, as the best horses in the
country are here to take part in it. J. H.
Goldsmith really has some excellent horses
untercd. and extremely fast time will be
made by the winners of the various events.
The track was nover in better condition,
and this pleased tho horsemen particularly.
Vesterday some very fast miles were mado.
and if rain does not interfere there may be a
new record or two Lcm Ulman also ar
rived, and, as usual, Iem is full of confidence
about fast racing and big crowds. Frank
Herdie will likely arrive this morning. Allo-
ether the indications are that one of tho
est mce meetings ever held in Pittsburg
will be the meeting which starts to-morrow.
TZNKT WON'T STAET.
nis Owner Declines to .Enter Him in
Big
Sweepstakes at Present.
New York, July 12. The efforts of both
the Brighton and Morris Park managements
to arrange a special sweepstakes has met
with a failure owing to the refusal of Ten
ny"s owner to let him run. The others were
u tiling, and Mr. Pulsifer's consent alone
was necessary to complete ho deal, but ho
flatly refuses to run.
He said to a reporter yesterday that later
In the season he might be willing to go in
for a race of this kind, but at present his
horse had engagements enough to give him
all the racing he wants without. matchos or
nnvthrng like them.
This, of course, puts an end to all hopes
for a meeting between the swayback and
the Dwycr cracks, yet the Brighton man
agement intends to'get up a race of somo
sort that will bring tho others together.
They will endeavor to got ltncine to come
on fbr a few days w hile on his way to Sa ra
toga, and if he does the race will be made
suitable for his entry.
About Oiy Pirates.
Tho Pirates have been running in the
hardest kind of luck lately. Their pitchers
began to show championship form about ten
d.iys ago. and it was hoped then that the
reum would show its i eal strength. But the
friends of tho club were doomed to lurther
di'ippoinlinent. The temporary weakness
!' ihe infield handicapped the pitchers, and
several games were lostthro'.igh unfortunate
mlsp'.ays at critical moments by the men at
the far side of the diamond. It is not my
purpose to criticise thoe players. They
tv ere doing their best to help win the games
arid played really good ball with the few ex
captions referred to. Tho errors happened
to occur in close games, where not n point
shonW hare been mused. The three Boston
deirnta wre attributable more to hard luck
than to poor ball plaving. ICing and Bnld
vln pitched great bail in tbem and should
have been victors instead of vanquished.
The pitchers ha e more confluence in their
suDport now that Pete Browning no longer
covers leit for the team. The.e was un
doubtedly antipathy to old Pete among the
Pittsburg players. Sporting Times.

About Their Training.
Mikshatolis, Mnir., July 12. The Minne

It is expected there will be no hitch over
the rcterce, as the Minnesota Athletic Club
will select a responsible man. Thoro will be
a dispute over the gloves us Fitzilmmons is
eager to flglit with the Piiicc Gazette cham
pion boxing gloves, which Hall may object
to. Fitzsinimons admits that Hall is a
clever, scientific pugilist, but he is confi
dent that lie can not only defeat Hall but
nnv 151 pound man In the world. Hali is
trainlue at Belolt, VTK Fitzimmons is
training at While Boar Lake, near St. Paul.
Prof John Donaldson, the first pugilist

MILLIONS TO EUROPE.
Americans Spend Fully $100,000,000
Abroad Every Year
AT AN EXTBEMELY LOW ESTIHATE.
Tliis Is the Primary Cause of the Present
Heavy Gold Exports.
THE EXPENDITURE NOT WHOLLY LOST
rSPECHh TELORAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Nr.w York, July 12. Matthew Marshal
reviews the financial and speculative situa
tion for the Sim to-morrow as follows:
The incoming transatlantic steamers
bring with them on each arrival numbers of
wealthy and .luxurious Americans who
went abroad early in the spring. The old
fashion of commencing a summer's tour in
Europe in May or June and ending it in
September or October is gradually giving
way to the new one of going over in Febru
ary or March and coming back in June or
July. The change has been produced partly
by the desire of those who can afford the
time to avoid the crowd of less fortunate
people, who are limited to the dull season
of business for taking their pleasure trips,
and partly by the favor shown in London
ami Paris fashionable society within the
past few years to Americans able and will
ing to contribute by their money to its en
joyment. "Where formerly a rich American family
was content to choose between an excursion
to Europe and a season at an American
summer resort, it now indulges in both. In
fact, for many people, the social year is no
longer divided into two parte summer and
winter but into four; and consists of a
spring in London and Paris, a summer in
Newport or Bar Harbor,an autumn at Lenox,
Tuxedo, or Hempstead, and only three
winter months in jew York. Thcv are, of
course, the comparatively few whom for
tune has endowed with thenecessarv worldly
means, but their number is growing year
by year, and their example finds imitators
in others of similar tastes and approximate
ability. It is a legitimate result of the in
creasing wealth of the country, and it marks
the progress of luxury which that wealth
fosters.
millions Expended In Europe.
Two months ago, in treating of the gold
exports from this country, I called atten
tion to the very important item, not men
tioned in any official returns, of the money
annually expended in Europe by American
visitors tand tourists. I computed their
number at 90,000, and their passages out
and home at $200 apiece, and their expendi
tures on the other hide at ?o00 apiece. Thus,
allowing only 5700 to each person, I got a
total ot ?3,b00,000. It has been pointed
out to me that my number should be 100,000
rather than 90,000, and that $500 an an aver
age will not cover all that each excursionist
spends while he is away.
Hotel bills nnd railroad fares alone, I am
told, will amount to the $200 which I al
lowed, leaving nothing for the clothes, jew
elry and pretty things of all kinds which
are sure to be picked up. Making onlj" a
moderate addition for these omitted items
easily brings up the total expenses per head
to 51,000. and this, for 100,000 people, is
S100,000,000, all of which has to be paid out
of the products of labor in this country, and
if it is not remitted in the shape of wheat,
corn, cotton, tobacco, petroleum and similar
articles, it must go as it has gone this year,
in thehape ofgold.
Discussing It Over Cigars.
At the Eocene Club, where, over cigars
nml drinks of various kinds, all sorts of
topics are discussed, from religion and
philosophy down to art and literature, with
occasional digressions into stocks and
politics, this one of American expenditures
in Europe came up lately, while my old
acquaintance, John Trump'er, formerly the
junior partner of Peter Lalow, and con
stituting with nim the eminently solid and
respectable stock-broking firm of Lalow &
Trumper, was present. Mr. Trumper made
his first money in the drygoods trade, and
then, drifting into Wall street with his
capital, he went into business with Mr.
Iilow, nnd for many, years the pair were
the trusted advKers and agents in making
investments of a select coterie of the richest
men ot New York.
As I think I have once told my readers,
the wealth of the customers who frequented
Lalow & Trumper's back office, and there
exchanged ideas and information on many
matters, caused the place to get the ironical
nickname of the "Poor House." But this
now is all ancient history. In due time Mr.
Lalow died, and Mr. Trumper wisely tier,
cided that he had money enough to retire
from the fatigues and responsibilities of the
business. Still, once in awhile I suspect
the old habit comes upon him, and he likes
to exercise bis judgment in buying and
selling stocks for a rise or a fall, as circum
stances influence him.
The SInrket Went Against Him.
On the occasion spoken of, Mr. Trumper
had evidently been speculating for a rise,
and the export of gold, by causing a fall in
the market, bad rather interfered with his
expected profits, for he broke out into a se
vere denunciation of the American citizens
who were so unpatriotic as to seek pleasure
in travel abroad rather than at home, and to
employ foreign tailors and dressmakers in
stead of having their clothes made in this
country. Against those who reside perma
nently abroad and spend their entire in
comes there, he was especially earnest. He
would have them forced to come back and
live here, under pain of forfeiting their
whole property.
The company listened to Mr. Trumper's
denunciation with respectful amnsement,
for, being notoriously the most generous
man alive, he lavishes upon his two hand
some married daughters no end of money, a
good part, of which they spend on imported
dresses and adornments, with the result
that they are among the smartest and best
gottcn-up women in the city. Nobody is
prouder pf them and of the compliments
that he hears -made to them shan their
father, and we all smiled to think how
miicklv he woiild resent the los) of admira
tion which would follow their employment
of any but the best modistes in Paris and
London. " ,
Should Look to Home.
Nor does lie deny them the pleasure of
annual trips to those centers of fashion, and
what they cost him on those occasions iorms
no inconsiderable fraction of the expendi
tures he so vigprously denounced. None of
us ventured to remind him of this,howevcr,
and those -vvlioiliffered with him, of whom I
was one. judiciously limited ourselves to
supporting our positions by other argu
ments than these of his personal example.
The views that 1 presented in opposition
to Mr. Trumper's were these: "Wealth is
not an end in itself, and is worthless except
as a means of. procuring enjoyment. A
certain- amount of it is, indeed, necessary
to be preserved as working capital, and
those who impair their capital by spending
it for their immediate pleasure, either in
their own country or abroad, deserve cen
sure. But whether a given amount of ex
penditure consitutes an impairment of
capital, or is" merely the consuniption of
income, is a question which each individual
must settle for himself. Since, too, the
aggregate capital of a country is the aggre
gate of the various little capitals belonging
to individuals, it may well be that in cer
tain contingencies it would be wise for a
nation to legislate against the dissipation of
their earnings by individuals, and to enact
measures for its repression.
" The Example of Ireland.
Ireland, for example, suffered at one time
severely from the drain upon its wealth by
absentee laud owners, nnd if it had been
able to compel the reinvestment at home of
its annual surplus "wealth it wouhl now be
in a much more prosperous condition. So,
too, thero wasji period in the history of this
connlry when ,laws intended to encourage
the retention, of the products of our indus
try on our ow.soil and the employment Of
them in increasing the machinery of produc
tion were, eminently wise. But "this is not
the case now. The country is bo rich that it
has all the capital it needs for its healthy
progress, and the mode and the place of
spending its income has ceased to be im
portant. Tiie proof of this is found in the low rate
of interest at which capital can be borrowed
for judicious enterprises, and in the diffi
culty of finding safe investments for it. This
being so, I cannot see any ground for find
ing fault with Americans who prefer to
travel or live in Europe rather than in this
country, either to buv their clothes and
their personal and household ornaments
there rather than here.
A Trip Abroad Desirable.
As to the attractiveness of a European
trip, I can testify to it from experience. All
my patriotism dbes not blind my eyes to
the fact that in Europe natural scenery is as
beautiful as it is in America, while its cities,
public buildings and works of art afford far
more enjoyment than can be procured from
the same sources here.
About clothing I do not know much, ex
cept that I found men's clothing much
cheaper in London than they are in New
York, and those expert in such matters say
that, while the workmanship may not be 'o
good, the cut is better. All my ladyfriends,
however, declare that London and Paris
made gowns are better than any they can
buy at home, and I will certify that their
wearers are very charming when arrayed in
them. Since it is the business of women to
make themselves look pretty, and they are
responsible for the result, I think'they
ought to be allowed to select their own
means of adornment, and, since fathers and
husbands usuallv have to pay the bills, they
ought not to object to the saving that is
effected by employing the cheaper foreign
dressmakers.
Besides this, the indirect advantages to
the country from the familiarity of its
citizens with Europe are a very considera
ble compensation for its cost in money. In
ventors and manufacturers pick up the
ideas and suggestions which they can turn
to good account in their bnsiness; archi
tects, decorators and houseowners have
their tastes improved, and even in the
matter of domestic life every head of a
household can get hints which (will prove
useful.
The transmission of wealth from genera
tion to generation in the same families has
developed in Europe habits which con
tribute greatly to the pleasure of life,
and our newly enriched people had much
better profit by their experience than waste
time in learning for themselves. The
money spent in European travel is, there
fore, not lost, and that which we get in re
turn for it, if not visible to the eye, makes
itself felt in the increased enjoyment of life
which it produces.

THE HYGIENE COUNCIL TO DECIDE.
The Emperor William Says Goodby to the
Queen of England.
ROYAL BANQUET IJf THE MARBLE HALL
Paris, July 12. A council of Ministers
was held at the Elysee Palace yesterday to
discuss the rescinding of the decree against
American pork. 31. Develle, the Minister
of Agriculture, advocated the withdrawal
of prohibitions. He asked 3L Constans if
the Ministers doubted the expediency of
directing the Superior Council of Hygiene
to make an examination and report on the
subject. M. Constans and M. Itibot also
favored rescinding the decree. It was
agreed to refer the matter to the Council of
Hygiene.
United States Minister Reid is pressing
for a prompt decision in the matter, if pos
sible, before the adjournment of the Cham
ber of Deputies, now expected within 10
days.
M. Viger, deputy chairman of the sub
committee on customs, says the Superior
Council of Agriculture will also consider
the question. He is a member of the Coun
cil, which has been supplied with informa
tion as to the United States meat inspection
regulations and says he will do what lie can
to have the decree abolished. Dr. Pietra
Santa, Secretary of the Society of Hygiene,
a different body from the official Council of
Hvgiene, but having much influence there,
joins in the efforts to rescind the prohibi
tion. The reports received here that the Ger
man Government is about to withdraw the
prohibition in Germany ought to hasten
French action.
At a meeting to-day of 400,000 railway
employes, held in the Winter Circus, it was
resolved that if the Paris-Orleans Company
refused the demands of its workmen by
Tuesday there will be a general strike of the
five great railway companies.
The Czar and Czarina will welcome the

rSFECIAI, TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New Havex, July 12. There is a fight
in the Beers Street Advent Church. Last
April the Rev. A. S. "Withington, of "Wor
cester, Mass., was engaged for a year. He
was a popular minister and a powerful ex
horter. The church was congratulating it
self, when somebody started a story that
while in "Worcester he had been guilty of
embezzlement, that he had deserted his wife,
and, finally, that he had yielded to the
temptations of women.
A committee wns appointed to go to
"Worcester. It went, aud soon came back
determined to make short work of the
pastor. The Rev. Mr. "Withington, when
confronted with the charges, was overcome,
and promised the committee to resign at
once, provided that they would be lenient
with him. He went to Providence, but his
trouble followed him there, for the Beers
Street Church sent letters there telling all
they knew.
Notwithstanding the work of the Investi
gating Committee, a large faction of the
church did not want Mr. "Withington to go,
and is determined to have him back. The
"Withington faction assert that it is not the
pastor's conduct that has caused his perse
cution and dismissal, but that the real
trouble was a sermon he recently preached
which touched some of the members in
tender places.
Unable to reinstate him in the Beers
street pulpit, his followers have secured a
hall on Gofic street for him, and at the
prayer meeting on Friday night it was an
nounced that Brother "Withington was com
ing back to the city to vindicate himself,
and would preach to-day. The anti-Withington
men were thunderstruck when they
heard the announcement.
A. D. Sanborn, a prominent politician
and a pillar of the church, wrote the follow
ing notice, which hasbcen circulated: "Hav
ing heard that a few disaffected and mis
guided persons have engaged A. S. With
ington to preach to-morrow, I think it is a
duty I owe to the public to let them know
who he is. He has been expelled from the
Advent Church for grossly immoral conduct,
and ought to be serving his time in the
penitentiary instead of being allowed to de
ceive the public under the garb of a minis
ter of the gospel. A word to the wise is
sufficient."
A big crowd listened to Mr. Withington
to-day and the result of the contest is in
doubt.

WlI.TCESBAKRE. Jtllvl2. This mnmlnr,
at 1 o'clock a disastrous cave-in occurred at
the Old Slope ol tlie Kingston Coal Com
pany, near LarKeville, five miles from this
city, and the inhabitants of that village,
which is built directly over the mine, were
in great fear of their lives and their prop
erty. The cave was caused by the snapping of
the old timbers in the slope directly under
the fanhouse, where the surface sank so
suddenly that the upward rush of the air
lifted the roof off the fanhouse, depositing
it within 100 feet of the opening. For hun
dreds of feet in all directions the surface is
covered with large seams and cracks, some
of them a foot wide and extending
down into the workings. A number of
houses in the vicinity are damaged. A dozen
men were at work in the mines at the time,
but they all escaped through a second
opening.

tSPECIAL TEr.EGBAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
Butler, July 12. News reached here to
day of a terrible tragedy committed about
four miles south of this place on Saturday
evening, the principal actors in the affair
being two brothers named Mininger.
Ten years ago Adam Mininger married
and settled on the old homestead in
Penn township, and his brother John, his
senior by four years, took up his residence
with him. The relations between Adam's
family and that of John soon became un
pleasant, and numerous quarrels be
tween the brothers resulted. Seven
years ago John was arrested for steal
ing Adam's horse, was tried, con
victed and sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary. At the "expiration of
his term of imprisonment John returned to
Adam's house, and, promising to lead a
better life, was again taken into the family.
All went well ior a time, but finally trou
ble again arose and John was told to leave.
He went over to the little village of Great
Belt, about three miles distant, and engaged
in the junk business, driving a horse which
Adam had bought for him. He did not cross
the threshold of Adam's house, nor appear
on the premises for over a year.
On Saturday evening he drove out from
Butler in his one-horse wagon, stopped at
his brother's place, and tied his horse. He
met Adam at the gate and informed him he
intended feeding his horse in the stable. To
this the brother objected, reciting the old
troubles, and insisting that John go to his
own home and feed his horse.
John resented this inhospitable reception
and denounced Adam in vigorous terms,
threatcning'him with personal violence and
finally catching him by the collar. At this
Adam whipped out a revolver and began
firing at his brother, three shots being dis
charged before John fell. He was on his
feet in a moment only to receive two more
shots.
Although bleeding profusely and dazed
by the wounds, John succeeded in getting
over the fence and into the yard of William
Anderson and started for the house, which
was about 30 rods distant. Anderson saw
him coming covered with blood, and having
heard the shots, ran out and assisted him
into the house. Bv the time John reached
the porch, he was in a perfectly helpless
condition. Dr. Headland, of Butler, was
sent for and examined his wounds, ascer
taining that every bullet had struck him,
and it was wonderful that he was not in
stantly killed.
One" bullet pierced John's left breast, just
above the heart, and has not yet been dis
lodged; another struck him on the top of the
forehead, and tore the scalp to the crown.
Immediately back of his left ear, a bullet
had struck and flattened against the skull;
another bullet passed through the back of
his neck and still another had lacerated his
throat.
At 9o'cIock to-day he was still living, but
with his chances of recovery almost impos
sible. Adam rode into Butler between 10 and 11
o'clock this morning and delivered himself
up to County Detective Allen, not for
getting to bring the revolver with him.
Having done this, Adam said he thought
the officer should permit him to return home,
but instead he was promptly locked np in
jail. He said he had received many threat
ening letters from his brother, and that he
believed he would have been killed had he
not pursued the course he did. The pris
oner is 30 years of age, and has a wife living
but no children. In conversation he shows
a fair degree of intelligence, but does not
appear to imagine that lie has done anything
for which he should be restrained of his
-liberty. He is well to do, and has always
lived peaceably with his neighbors. Jonn
has a wife and children.
MTJEDERED HIS WIFE.
Tho Woman Killed by a Fiendish Husband
in Her Father's House.
SPECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Kansas City, July 12. Charles H.
Crowley, a former policeman, aged 35 years,
shot and killed his wife at her
father's home at 11 o'clock this
morning and then fled, pursued
by a hooting, howling mob, to a police sta
tion 12 blocks away, and surrendered to
Detective Baldwin. The woman was
his third wife. He came to Kansas
City from Kentucky seven years
ago, bringing a wife with him. From this
woman he was divorced shortly after at In
dependence. A year or two later he again
married, only to be divorced within a year.
The third wife he married about 18 months
ago.
Crowley was made a member of the police
force two years ago and was discharged in
November last. Shortly after his ap
pointment he shot and killed a
negro named Thad Stevens, who, Crawley
stud. had attempted to take his
life. Crowley entered the house of his
father-in-law, F. D. Mayfield, where he
lived with his wife, and after a brief quar
rel drew a revolver and fired four shots
at her. Only one took effect.
It entered the left temple and penetrated
the brain. She fell to the floor and died
almost instantly. Lily Mayfield, the 17-year-old
sister of the murdered woman, was
present.

double drowning was purely accidental; all

FISEOMG BY ELECTBICITT.
A New Contrivance by Which tho Finny
Prize Is Electrocuted.
An electrician, who is a lazy fisherman,
has invented a new fishing contrivance.
His line is a flexible wire, ruhber covered,
the hook being insulated with rubber tape,
excepting a small section near the barb. "A
battery and condenser are connected in the
boat, one side of the latter being grounded
by a plate in the water, while the other is
connected to the spindle of the boat. As
soon as the fish nibbles he pulls down a
cap closing the circuit, and receives the
contents of the condenser, thus paralyzing,
if not killing him outright. The fish will
then float to the surface and can b landed
in a scoop net.

Stone That Will Bend.
North Carolina has a queer quality of
sandstone in the mountains in its south
western county. When cut in a thin piece,
say the size and shape of a common whet
stone, you can bend it into a considerable
arc without its breaking, and it will resume
its iormer straightneas on tne pressure Deing
removed. Of course, if roa bend it too far,
removed. ui
it will break.

TSPECIAL TELIGEA3I TO THE DISPATCH.l (
New York, July 12. The apple woman
who has a stand near the south ferry read in
a newspaper to-day that a young friend of
hers, Andrew Urcnnan, had committed
suicide by jumping into the river from the j
steamboat John Sylvester on Saturday j
night. She was lamenting his untimely
fate when she was thrown into a perspira
tion by a vision. She crossed herself and I
prayed for the protection of the saints. The j
vision held up a copy of a newspaper and!
said: "Do I look like I have been drowned?
This is a pretty thing to put in the paper
about a man."
The apple woman became calm. She
recognized the vision as Brennan in the
flesh, and asked him how he got out of the
river. He said that he had fallen over-"
board while leaning or sitting on the aft
rail of the John Sylvester and that he had
swum to Governors Island. He was sitting
on the railing astern when the boat was
about a quarter ot a mile off Governors
Island. He was singing, and as he whooped
up the last words of a chorus his feet went
up and he fell backward into the water.
He said to-day: "It seemed as if I trod
water for an hour to-day out there in the
dark while that steamboat was going away
from me. AVhcn I saw that they were
making no effort to save me I struck out for
Governors Inland." Private John Brigg,
United States Army, was walking his post
on that side of the island. He notified the
guard that somebody was swimming that
way, and Frank Sanford, of Battery H,
met the stranger as he struck the island
almost exhausted. Brennan was put into
dry blankets and put to bed in Castle
William.
After breakfast this morning he took the
first boat for the city. He found his
mother on the doorstep. She had not slept
since -the other boys had told her Andrew
was drowned. She nearly fainted when he
approached her. His sisters punched his
ribs until they were satisfied that he was
no ghost, and great were the rejoicings.
