races Too One-Sided to Cause Mncli Ex
citement, but Better Thinp Are
Promised To-Day.
THE FEATIRKITY WELL EEPEESEOTED.
Eonc EreciMJi'estnres for This Afternoon that Are
Good Drawing Cards.
The favorites had what tho sports cull a
dead easy picnic at Homewood yesterday.
At no time was there much excitement or
enthusiasm, but for all that the large crowd,
enjoyed tho contests. Tho races wore of the
kind that always please the winning owners
mid make the otherfellows very weary. The
hoys would rather havo seen more of the
i:ecl-and-neck business and the close
struggle on the homestretch, which makes
the blood tingle and the people go wild, but
they can't have everything to order
5n this world. Thoso who follow the
races had no trouble in picking the winners,
mid only the foolhardy and ill-advised lost.
It wn expected that the second race, free-for-all
pacing, would be tho feature of the
day. but m 1th the exception of a lew heats it
scarcely raised a ripple.
The second day of the Grand Circuit
opened with aelearbky and bright sun A
f-w clond lingered here and there in the
heaven,, but there was no sign of rain.
No Store Rain This Week.
Secretary lleOrackon remarked that it
had rained the night before all it would for
the week, and if this should prove true it
would be a wonder. Tho Pittsburg people
have certainly had a streak of bad weather
in the past, and it is to be hoped that this
meeting will be an exception. So far, so
good The track, in comparison w ith others
in the country, is claimed 113- experts to
bo n little soft." This was so near tho pole
yesterday. It was in fair condition, but w ill
ie much faster to-day. Tho morning sun
had dried the water, and it can't be said to
have been tho lault of the course that bet
ter time in some of the races was not made.
Knllj 7.000 people were present, the
greatest attendance since 1S.2, when
Maud S broke the lecord. If the crowd
can bo taken as a gauge they will number
from 10 000 to 15,000 to-dav. It was noticed
that the class ot people was above the
nx emge. which augurs that the interest in
racing is being revived in Pittsburg. Sev
eral Cntholie priests and ministers of other
lrn'imination--were in the audience. Itoc
uried to the leporters that most of the
lawyers and politicians In the citvwereon
hand. All factions Mere represented. Tho
tity Hall people evidently turned them
selves loose for a daj-'s sport.
Not There to Bet.
Mayor Gourley took up his old position on
the clubhouse porch. His Honor said he wa s
not betting, and continued with a smile that
as an officer of the law he would set a good
example. C. L. Magee sat on the railing
ncros the porch from the Mayor, andnearby
was his man Friday, llocorder Von Bonn
linrst. The Recorder professed to be not
h ell posted, hut it didn't take him long to
-atch on. Coroner McDowell circulated in the
crowd, and took a keen Interest in the races.
Harrv Darlington. J. S. Kane, the irhiss man.
and Charles J. Clarke formedj a group of,l
iiuic-iieMi nuiiurcis wiiu iufueu every
heat closely. Late in the day rue tall form
ot Dr. Barchfleld loomed up "on tho ground.
He wore a light, natty suit and a large white
slouch hat. Ho was the cynosure of the
ladies. Diamond .Toe, with several largo
sparklers sticking in his flannel shirt front,
wa-quite a figure. He is a regular attend
ant and not at raid to put up his money.
Programmes Ga e Out.
About 2 o'clock owing to the great crowd
the supplv of programmes was exhausted,
nnd they were at a premium. "1 think," re
marked a clever young fellow, "that I w ill
bteal one out of somedodv's Docket. In this
mob if they call out 'stop thief everybody I
will run and no one can toll who is tho !
guilty man." Old XX, the cough drop seller, I
iot'k:avautage of the shortage to roast the
management. "They sold the privilege to
I'lmnn and Henlic," he said, "for $300, and
1I11- it- how thej attend to business. I5ut
A X cm make -oiw- money selling tips."
Tl.o hor-es fw the Zlit race, trotting, 2:19
class, were called at k30. Five faced the
Matter. t. Eimn was the lavorite, and it
turned out afterward that ho never did so
vtil in his nlstory. He didn't break his
record, br.t he w as In great form, and would
hare done much better if pushed. He won
the three flrst heats and tne race very easily.
At tho start the betting was 4 to Son t.
J3ino, S to 2 on Godelia, 6 to2ou Sigllght, 12
to 2 on William A nnd the tame on Almont
Wilkes. Godelia was slated for sec
ond place by manv people, but sho
came in last. Mglight and Almont
Wilkes are tied for second plac

The horsemen had great faith in Godelia,
and the put up boodle on her freely. They

ml at this stage that St. Elmo had a picnic,

It took so much money to make a little in
r,ll hc races that there wa- not a free and

In the second race, free-for-all pacing, the
greato-t interest centered in Hal Pointer.

not go down, however, and in the second

In tho third race, trotting. 2:27 class, A. "W.
Fawcett was drawn and Plav Bov took his
place. The starters were X T H," Florence
Dlilard, Leicester, J M I) and Play Boy. The
race was very one-sided, Loicester winning
the first three heats with ease. The crowd
has great faith in Goldsmith, and as ho has a
string of 2J good ones to, pick from he Is
counted generally a sure winner. Leicester,
however, was in too low a class, and would
havo made the race with St. Elmo more ex
citing if he 'had been entered. Indeed, it
looked r.s if lie could beat St. Elmo easily.
Last week Leicester made a record of
2:12. which was really 2:17 according to
tho Knowing ones. It is claimed he can
xnake the mile in 2:16. and Secretary Mc
Crackon nald he would have to go into the
2:10 class at the next races. At Point Breezo
not even the horsemon got on to him, and
duriuc the momlnir while in iiractice he
Jroke and plunged so much that scarcely
anybody paid tho least attention to him.
The result In the afternoon is known. In
the first heat Plav Boy had the pole. It was
dead easy for Leicester from start to finish;
time 2:22. NTH showed up poorly, but at
times he acted as if he could do business.
The next heat was a walk-over for
Leicester, and the others came under in the
same positions as they did in the first. This
was the nrrimr Plnv Unr. .T M D. Flnrnnfift
Dillard and X T"H. In the third heat
Lcicestor had as much of a picnic as ever.
NTH surprised the sports by pulling into
second place.

The fourth was a match for $2,000 between
Yaspasian, of Millerstown; a trotter, and
Mac, a Butler pacer. It was town against
town, Titley against Boat, the owners, and
for blood. It required four heats. Mr. I! oat
said before the race that Mac had a sore
hoof and he was doubtful about his winning.
Mac has been worked hard this season and
he has reached his limit. Vaspaeian was
the favorite at thj start. It required four
heats to settle the contest. Mao had the
greatest speed, but he went off his fo-it too
often to win. In the first heat Yas
pasian had the pole, and started with
a good lead. Mac lagged behind, but
closed up with the big gap on the home
stretch, and won bv a length amid consider
able excitement- time, 2:23 Vaspasian's
stock fella little, but he was still the favo
rite In the second heat after a lively
tussle Yaspasian got under first. Mac broke
badly near the three-quarter post, but
pulled up at the finish. Tho Butler crowd
staved with its horso insniteof the defeat.

Athletics TO LouisrUle 1
Our sluggers beat the Brooklyns in yester
day's game, but tho victory was of the kind
mat suggests one or-
two things. One sug
gestion of significance
is this: Had the field
ing been reasonably
perfect on both sides
there would have
been nine innings
played without a run.
As it was the two
teams made eight
runs between them,
nnd not one was an
earned run.
This was tough on
the pltchers,of courso,
but our fellows got
five of the eight runs,
and that put our
Ditcher on the winning side. Both pitchers
pitched admirably, and it must have been
somewhat painful to Lovett, who pitched so
well that only five hits were made off his de
livery, and no bases on balls given, to find
himself on the losing side after an effort of
that kind.
Wnrd himself was responsible for threo of
tho five runs that our fellows got, so that it
couldn't be a question of the manager call
ing his flock to task.
Mr. Byrne Was Mad.
But it is a fact that Mr. Byrne, who is with
tho team, was very mad at Ward's shortcom
ings. The contest altogether was a vory
rocky one, as far as tho fielders were con
cerned, and only the fact that victory
perched on the local banner made it worthy
of notice as far as the local cranks were con
cerned. Baldwin pitched in good form, and
it may bo fair to say that the fielding errors
made were of a very excusable kind. Tho
attendance did not exceed COO people, and
there was no enthusiasm displayed during
the game.
In the flrst inning Miller knocked ont a
long fly to O'Brien and the latter let the ball
drop, and as a result Miller loomed up at
second base. Becklcy then cracked out a
singio to center, und Miller scored comfort
ably. Beckley got to third while Griffin was
fumbling the ball. Shugart knocked a
grounder to Ward, and the latter fumbled it
long enough to allow Shugart to reach first,
and when Ward did get the ball he threw it
wild to first and Beckley scored.
In the fourth inning Shugart led off with a
sinnle to right and stole second. Bierbauer's
flv was caught bj' Giillln, and Shugart got to
tliird on Mack's sacrifice. Hanlon's grounder
was then.
Fumbled by Ward
and Shugart scored. Carroll followed with
a good two-bagger and Hanlon scored.
In the secondhalf Wnrd led off with a lucky
two-base hit which Hanlon could not fairly
get under. The runner got to third on a
w lid pitch and scored on Foutz's sacrifice
hit.
In tho sixth inning, when Bierbauer had
reached flrst on the out of Shugart at sec
ond, Mack's sacrifice and Carroll's single
scored him. The visitors in their half made
two runs on singles by Collins and Ward, a
passed ball by Mack and wild throw by Ber
ger. The latter went in to catch during the
inning, as Mack had his finger split Dy a
foul tip. No more runs were made, although
In the eighth inning Ward and Foutz were
on third and second, but Pinckney couldn't
score them. The score:

A PEBS05AL ONSLAUGHT
Is Expected to Be Made on Campbell Dur
ing the Coming Campaign.
TFROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, July 15. The renomlnation
of Governor Campbell at Cleveland to-day
was to everybody here a foregpno conclus
ion, but'the opinions as to its wisdom aro
various nmontr both Democrats and Repub
licans. 3Iost of the lattor appear to think
that tho best of a bad situation was made,
just as they speak of Cleveland's inevitable
nomination, while the Democrats generally
shake their heads In fear of tho treason of
the Hamilton county end of the party.
It is expected by many persons of both
parties here that a serious personal on
slaugt will be made quietly, if not in public
speeches ami tho press, on Campbell's char
acter. It is alleged that ho has been en
gaged In a number of shady finnnclal Jobs
whose exposure will injure him seriously.
Tiiis Is deprecated, however, by the best
class of Republicans, who declare that 31c
Klnley and the tariff will win a brilliant
victory for the Republicans, even without
the Hamilton county defection, which all
admit alone makes the outlook serious lor
the Democrats.

Coroner Cannot Reopen the Question.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, July 15. County Clerk Giege
rloh got a dispatch from Warden W. R.
Brown, of Sing Sing prison, this afternoon,
announcing that a messenger was on his
way with papers to file in connection with
tho electrical executions, and asking him to
wait in his office to receive them. It was
after 4 o'clock when the messenger arrived,
and the office would ordinarily have been
closed. County Clerk Glegorich and Deputy
Scully were waiting and they gave the mes
senger a receipt for his packet. It con
tained the following report on the execu
tions: The undersigned having served as physicians at
the execution by electricity this morning of James
J. Slocum, Harris A. Smller, Joseph Wood and
Sehlhleck Juglro, at the prison under your charge,
herebv bubmlt, as you request, the following report
of their observations: First All of the condemned
walked into the execution room unrestrained, with
firmness and without assistance, seated themselves
In turn In the electric chair, without the slightest
protest or resistance, and quietly submitted to the
adjustment of the retaining straps and the elec
trodes. Second In each case unconsciousness was pro
duced instantaneously by the closure of the cir
cuit, was complete, and persisted without Inter
ruption until the heart's action had entirely
ceased and death had certainly occurred. In each
case death was manifestly painless.
anira in compliance wiin ine statute an au
topsy was made In each case, as soon as practicable,
by Dr. Ira Van Gelsen, of New York, In our pres
ence and under our supervision, with the result of
revealing the same gross changes in the blood and
the tissues previously observed In cases of death by
the action of a strong electric current. Specimens,
especially of the blood and of the nervous system,
were taken by Dr. Van Gelsen for the purpose of
careful microscopical examination, and the results
w 111 be forwarded to you as soon as such examina
tions are completed. In concluding, allow us to
congratulate you on the completeness, in all their
details, of all 3 our preliminary arrangements, on
tire unllorm good order and decorum which
prevalleddurlng the trying ordeal, and on the re
sulting demonstration of the rapidity and painless

THE GRANDMOTHER ABBESTED
On the Charge of Murdering the Three
Newberry Little Children in Texas.
TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
Joshua, Tex., July 15. Tho town is much
excited over the awful tragedy of night be
fore last, in which tho three children of G.
A. Newberry were murdered, their
throats boing cut, and old Mrs.
Newberry, grandmother of the
children was frightfully carved, being,
as she alleges, tied to a post by two masked
men while the frightful work was in prog
ress. Bobbery and murder was the object
of tho men, as charged by the old lady. The
investigation of the murder, which was con
ducted with closed doors, was thorough and
. complete, and every phase of the case was
considered.
Early to-day there were doubts of tho
truth of the story of Mrs Polly Newberry,
tho grandmother, and before night it was
whispered around that she was suspected
of having committed the horrible deed.
Those engaged in the investigation, how
ever, would say nothing and nothing was
done all day yestcrdaj- or last night. It was
added that the old lady knew too -much
about the affair for a woman who had been
cut in the throat 17 times by the persons
who murdered her children, and then It
looked strange that she, the only person
who could ' have told tho particulars
of the tragedy, should not have been
killed along with the children. Her wounds
are all slight and not dangerous, which fact
gave rise to the idea that she inflicted them
on herself in order to create the impression
that she had also been assaulted.; She
has been arrested and was taken to Cle Durae
to-night.
A DOCTOB'S DILEMMA.
He Sued His Wife for Divorce and Now Has
a Whole Town After Him.
ISPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.1
Mt. Holly, N. J., July 15. Some time ago
Dr. W. L. Woodruff, of Pemberton, began
divorce proceedings against his wife. This
caused a sensation in the town, and Mrs.
Woodruff, who is a general favorite, received
assurances of support from all quarters.
The doctor defied public opinion until
ten days ago.when the town people hanged
him in efflgy from a triumphant arch erected
in honor of the town's bl-centennlal. This
angered him and he brought suit for $10,000
damages against Aaron .Early, Chlet Burgess
of the borough, for permitting him to be
thus held up to public ridicule.
Last night the townspeople held an indig
nation meeting In the Town Hall. The lead
ing business men of the ton n, as well as the
clergy, were represented. Aaron Early was
chairman of the meeting. Aba d furnished
the music. After the doctor's acts had
been discussed, a Committee on Ways
and Means was appointed, who prepared a
preamble and resolution, in wnich they
strongly condemned, the Doctor's actions,
nnd decided to urge tho prosecution of the
pleas to move in the matter at once. They"
also resolved to stand by Chief Burgess
Early in the libel suit brought against liim
by the Doctor. The Doctor says he will
stay and face tho music and is not afraid of
being mobbed.
CHILEAN FB0SFECT3 FOB PEACE.
Negotiations Probable When Tho New
' President Enters Ofilce.
Tanama, July C Although active hostili
ties between tho Congressional and Govern
ment forces in Chile wore resumed a few
days ago and resulted in a victory for tho
former and the Capture of Huasco, there
seems little reason to" doubt that this inci
dent was merely a spasmodic movement.
It is probable that the present condition of
affairs will continue until tho entry into
office of Seuor Don Claudlo Vicuina, the
President-elect. Then the negotiation of
satisfactory nrrangements will not only be
possible but probaule.
According to newspaper reports, the de
scent on Huasco was pending since the mid
dle of May, when the transport Malpo left
Iqulque to aid in receiving and distributing
arms. She appears to have now turned up
with munitions for an army of 25,000 men.
Balmaceda's two torpedo boats and the now
famous transport Imperial keep moving
about the Tarapaca coast, but are notstrong
enough to enforce the, blockade of the
ports. Thev have to keep well out of range
of the big Congressional ships. The foreign
element m Chile seems to be greatly favor
ing the Congressional cause. The Balma
ccda Congress has passed an act providing
that hereafter all Import dues nnd storage
charges must be paid in gold or silver, cal
culated on bills nt 38d. This decree has had
the effect of enhancing the price of all im
ported goods.
HOW GRANDMAMMA WAS CAUGHT.
The Way Two Pretty Allegheny Girls Tried
to Intimidate Her.
There is a dear, good, pious old lady in
Allegheny who has a granddaughter that is
alike the pride of her heart and the tor
ment of her existence. The old lady
look3 upon cards and beer as the
most dreadful things in the world, ex
cept a few things that nre "dreadfuller."
The granddaughter doesn't share, to the
same extent, the aversion to the beer and
the cards; she has a top floor studio where
her girl chums are wont to gather for a
"high" as they call it.
One evening last week dear old grand
mamma thought sho would surprise the
girls by paying them a visit in their den.
Accordingly she invited her chum another
old grandmother equally as dear and
equally as pious who had run in to
knit awhile, to mount the stairs
with her. Together the old ladles ascended.
The girls heard them coming, and by the
time their sweet lace-covered heads were
seen at the door they had concocted a
scheme whereby they would effectually
close poor grandmamma's mouthforeveron
the suDject of beer nnd cards. Cleverly
they commenced operations on the inno
cent, unsuspecting old ladles, and by dint of
flattery and entreatv they succeeded in get
ting them to sit for flash-light pictures.
ery prettily wore tho grandmammas ar
ranged at a table, which was supposed to be
laid for tea. Everything was in readiness
nnd the lights wore turned out. Then, as if
u3 iiiiigic, .mo cmna teacups and saucers
gave wiiy to huge beer mugs; beer bottles
followed, and two piles of poker chips and a
deck ot cards were most artistically and
naturally arranged. The flash light
was turned on; one dear old grandmamma
caught a glimpse of the layout and made a
desperate effort to save her reputation by a
frantic sweep for tho poker chips. She was
caught in the act by the picture-taking ap
paratus, much to the delight of tho girls,
who, with the finished pictures in their pos
session, are quite suro of grandmamma's ac
quiesence to anything they may desire.
C0NTBACT CONVICTS DBIVEN AWAT.
The Lessee of Prison Miners Telegraphs
Governor Buchanan for Troops.
Nashville, July 15. An attempt tooperate
the coal mines at Braceville, in Anderson
county, with convict labor, has led to seri
ous trouble. The mines have always been
operated with free labor, but were aban
doned some time ago because owing to the
price of labor, as the owners say, there was
no money in them. The Braceville mines
nre owned by the Knoxville Iron Company,
which now leases the men at the Coal Creek
Branch prison. Ten days ago a squad of 30
'or 40 men were sent fromhere and have been
Dutldlng a stockade.
Governor Buchanan to-day received a
telegram from Superintendent Wade that a
mob of 300 armed men overpowered the
guards at the new prison last night and
forced the lessees to carry convicts on to
Knoxville; that the sheriffis nnable to pro
tect the men, and asking for troops. Gov
ernor Buchanan sent a reply to let the
Sheriff of Anderson county ask for aid if he
is unable to preserve order.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DI8PATCH.J
Chicago, July 15. It is reported that heavy
Chicago and PIttburg shippers are interested
with the Brice-Thomas people in the con
struction of the Toledo and Chicago Bee

nection with the Lako Erie and Western,
and that as soon h the road is completed
they will turn over to it their entire Pitts-burg-Chlcago

Superstitious Indians in Central America
Burn the Creature to Death.
Panama, July 15. A few days ago a child
was born In tho village of Faslcnco, horribly
deformed. It was completely covered with
hair, and had not the slightest shape of a
human being, the only thing about it that
somewhat resembled mankind being its
hnnds and feet.

of it, and thev did so by burning the creature
to death. The authorities arrested tho
culprits.
BLAMED FOB THE ASPEN WBECK.
The Coroner's Jury Accuses a Conductor
and a Brakeman of Carelessness.
Aspen, Col., July 15. The Cornoner's jury
investigating the cause of Saturday's rail
road accident, late last night rendered a
verdict that the collision Saturday was due
to the criminal carelessness of Conductor O.
F. Pickard and Brakeman Thomas Mahoney,
of the light engine.
The jury further declared its belief that
the location of the tracks at Aspen Junction
Is such as to render the handling of the
trains at that point dangerous to public
travel.

THE PKOOF OF THE PUDDING
Is in the Eating,
And the proof of the establishment of a
solid manufacturing concern is in seeing
its finished marketable product. Such, in
auy event, is the line of reasoning of the
Blaine Land Company, who yesterday had
a large and elegant safe displayed on
the principal streets. It is a product of
the American Vault, Safe and Lock Com
pany, and is destined to occupy a con
spicuous place in the office ot Charles
Somers & Co., who are the principal pro
moters of the very successful Blaine enter
prise. The safe weighs 4,000 pounds, and
is pronounced a model of perfection, from
an artistic as well as a mechanical point
of view. It was moved from point
to point, under due streamers, bv one of
the Pittsburg Transfer trucks, drawn by
four horses, and attracted general notice
and interest. The Vault, Safe and Lock
Company's buildings will be commenced at
Blaine to-day. They will be of brick 80x400
feet and 80i200 feet, and when in full opera
tion will afford employment for 1,000 to
1,500 hands, mostly skilled mechanics. The
company hold patents on the latest and
most highly approved devices entering into
the construction of burglar and fire-proof
vaults, safes and locks, and from the raw
material will turn out the finished and
merchantable work at Blaine. Their main
sample and salesroom will be in this citv,
with a branch office and salesroom in
Chicago.
