KrrrALO, Aug. 4. John K. Madden, tlio
shrewd dealer in well bred trotters nscd
to be a fast sprinter and ho showed atouch
of hi- old form when he ran down and
stopped a runaway trotter this afternoon at
the Dilving Paik, prcienting what might
has, e been a serious accident to a valuable
horse. Charley Wilkes, a speedy bay stal
lion, had got tangled with the Kentucky
gelding New York Central In scoring for the
first l.eat of the 21 class, and tho former's
sulky tipped, landing the driver over the
inside rail. Charley Wilkes got off and
galloped round to the home stretch where
Tishcr. his trainer, met hira and made a
j-rab for the rein. He did not cct a grip or
thorn, but stopped the horso's way a little so
that Madden was able to keep -with htm and
pet him under control. E. D. Wiggln, of
Boston, who owns tho stallion, was a grate
ful man when he found that his trotter had
gotoff without n scratch. John Splan, who
was behind New York Ccntial, kept his seat
and came out of his second accident in two
weeks with his usual luck.
WASN'T A PROMISING DAY.
It wns not a very promising day for the
beginning of the grand eircnlt meeting, but
the clouds did not do more than threaten
and the three events were disposed of at
dark. Ilappv Bee had the easiest kind of a
victory in tho 2-21 cla-s, going faster each
time, as her opponents tried conclusions
with her. The first heat was so slow that T.
Wood-Martin, the starting indge. told the
other driver" that they must trr a little
hardei. Andrews did -o with (Jeorgeand

spcedv for him and the favorite could not
get a heat from the grandson of Electioneer.

l'oughkeep-ie, made a bold bid for the heat,
but Albert came so rapidly from the ontsldo
that he beat her by a --hort length in 2:13. In
the next two heats the chestnut gelding was
not heeded, though Illinois Egbert, after

TOOK THEIR DOSE AGAIN.
Oar Big Sluggers Get Another Walloping
From the. Brooklyn Tlayers Mr. King
Has a Tory Disastrous Inning, and the
New Manager Somewhat Disappointed.
fSrECIAt. TELEGItAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
New 1'obi:, Aug. 4. Anticipations of at
least breaking losing spell made Manager
McGunniglo fool hopeful this afternoon, and
as Silver King was fooling rather strong in
that right arm of his prior to the game, it
made tho mannger bold enough to wager a
$1 necktlo thnt the Smoky City team would
win. '-I want to wear that tie when I reach
Pittsburg," lie remarked. But Manager Mc
Gunniglo will not get it this time, for the
Pittoburg's again lost, and they were de
feated quite easily at that. A very small
crowd was present, the threatening weather
keeping the attendance down to 47C King
began well, but in the final innings he was
laced ont rather hard. Thore were no bril
liant plays, tho balls being hit at the field
ers. Ward and Pinkney. .however, picked up
a number of rapid moving ground bits, both
also throwing well. J. O'Brien did not do as
well at second base as has been his custom,
but only ono of the errors were costly.
BEGAN IT ALL RIGHT.
The visitors began the game in a promis
ing manner. Thoy retired tho Brooklyns in
one, two, three order, and in their turn sent
one around the circuit of the bases, nanlon
filed out, but Shngart merely pushed tho
ball Just far enough ovor J. O'Brien's head.
Shngart cleverly stole second, and ran for
third when Beckley hit to J. O'Brion. Tho
latter fumblod and as he was tinable to pick
up the ball tho Pittsburger kept on running
and easily crossed the plate. A double play,
in which Ward, J. O'Btien andFoutz were
the factors, nut a damner on all further
scoring in this inning. While at occasional
times each team would get a player on the
bases, none could cross the plate until the
fifth inning, when threatening clouds mado
the Brooklyn players teel somewhat tick
lish, for a rain storm after the inning was
completed meant dcteat. Griffin waited pa
tiently, as only Grifiln can, and for the sec
ond tlmo would not bite at any wide balls,
and as King could not find the plate, Grifiln
trotted to first base on called balls. John
O'Brien knew it was time to do something,
and responded in n lively manner. lie laid
his stick up against an inshoot and tho ball
shot to lett field, where neither Shngart,
Rcillyor Miller happened to be. "Did you
seo it?" jelled Burns to Manager McGunni
zle. who was lumnins: around uncnsilv in
his seat. Kinslow tipped the ball just
faintly and though thrown out at first base,
the other men moved up a baso each.
One of the Pittsburg fielders was mean
enough to remark "two out, boys," when
Lovett stepped to the plate It was tho
third ball pitched that tho doughty pitcher
took a liking to, and he almost
MADE M'GDNNIGLE TOPPLE
over the bench by smashing his bat against
the ball and like a streak the ball went skin
ning along the ground toward Hanlon. On
the hit Griffin and J. O'Brien crossed the
plate. The visitors tied the score in the fol
lowing innlngvhcn Miller found himself on
second after hitting to left, and he felt so dp-
lightcd that he gave his lungs full power in
yelling, "Wow, wow. wow." But he stormed
w ith madness when Umpire Hurst declared
him. out at the plate while attempting to
tally on Mack's bunt to rinkney. The lattor
threw too late to Foutz but the first base
man got it homo in time to retire Miller.
Carroll dropped the ball just inside the left
field foul line and although tho ball was re
turned in time to catch Mack at the plate,
Kinslow dropped the ball. The seventh in
ning was a hummer for Brooklyn and the
ball was fairly raining in places where the
fielders were not. Grlffln singled and stole
second on Mack's low throw. Kinslow also
hit safe, while Lovett dropped the ball In
short left, sending in Griffin. Ward banged
out a double lotting Kinslow score, and
Foutz also got to second on a hit to left on
which Lovett and Ward crossed the plate.
Pinknev was tho last to hitsafcly and on his
effort Ward tallied. A base on balls to Grif
fin and two steals gave the .homo team an
other run in the eighth inning, score:

SUGAR PRICES (JO DOWN.
BITTETt FIGHT BETWEEN SPP.ECKLES
AND THE GREAT TKUST.
TheWnrWas Instituted With a Small Cut,
Followed by Another Brokers Inter
ested In the Outcome Bates Lower Than
Ever Before.
New York, Aug. 4. A bitter fight was be
gun to-day by the Sugar Trust against Clans
Spreckels, who has been a thorn in the sido
of the sugar refiners on this coast for many
years. About ten days ago the President of tho
Sugar Trust was called away from tho city
by the ultimately fatal Illness of his father,
F. C. Hnvemcyer. While ho was away tho
Sugar Trust maintained its price for
granulated sugar, but Clans Spreckels,
who had been keeping bis rates
up to those charged by tho trust at
onre nnuounced a rednctlon of l-16o per
pound. He ont seriously into tho trndo of
tho Sugar Trust, but no action to meet tho
cut was taken, as it was believed that as soon
as Spreckels' supply was placed ho would re
tire from tho market. He kept on filling or
ders, however, and practically supplied all
demands.
Yesterday President Havcmcyer returned
nnd at onco ordered tho sugar trust prico
for granulated sugar reduced one-eighth or
one-sixteenth below the cut made by
Spreckels. Tho latter to-day then made an
other cut, bringing his prico one-sixteenth
below the price asked bv the
trust. The reductions mado "bring
the price for granulated sugar down to to 4
centb per pound in Philadelphia, on which 2
per cent is allowed off, making tho net cash
price 3 92-100 cents, the lowest on record.
Tho price mado by the SugarTrust is 4 1-16.
In August, 18S9, alter tho formation of tho
trust, sugar sold at 8c per pound. A curi
ous feature of the fight is that in
the raw sugar market both parties are
urgent buyers and tho sugar trust to-day
bought raw sugar at 3 5-16 cents. This brings
tho profit of refining down to a very low
point. In lower Wnll street great interest is
shown ns to whother the trust will to-morrow
meet tho last cut made by tho Spreck

T1IEIE MARRIAGE A THING OP DOUBT
TSrECML TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
New York, Aug. 4. When Charles E. Good
win, heretofore supposed to havo been a
bachelor, was shot in tho Percival on Sun
day night by Bertram C. Webster, he was
I writing a letter. This is the letter:
"Sunday, Aug. 3.
"3Iy Own Precious, Darling Wife:
"I never sat down to write you with my
heart so full of tenderness, sympathy and
lovo as to-night. I never loved you more or
needed your love more than now, and
yet I don't know when or how to
begin my lettor. It seems as if I
had lived years in the last few days,
and yet I don't know when or how to begin
my letter. It scorns as if I had lived years
in tho last few days, and ns if the experience
of a lifetime had been crowded into them.
My brain seems like a tangled skein, and it
is impossible to find an end that
I might follow up, without intersec
tion, any particular thought. Everything
crowds upon me in tumult, and It is
only by this prefaco that I can hopo to un
ravel my thoughts and lav them down
separately and side by side, to take up one
by one until I have mastered them all. and
havo them on paporfor yon my beloved
Essie, to read and understand.
A PANG OF REMORSE.
"I havo not appreciated in the last two or
three weeks the damage I was doing you;
tho state of mind I was patting you in. If I
could not very well write you when I ought
to and want to, darling, I said. "My wife
knows me, knows I would Write if I well
could; knows that nothing wrong is
keeping me from her, and will fret at
tho obstacles in my way, bnt hold meblame
less. 1 did not know what I was doing. I
did not know the doubts, nnxieties, fears
nnd tortures I was causing you. You know
wny j. aia nor, nearest, lor. i nave aireaay
written you at length and by degrees.
"I (we) want to drop tho subject and put
it all behind us. But not, dear, until I havo
dwelt on It sufficiently foryouto understand
how keenly I feel the sorrow untold that I
have brought to yon. It wns not at once,
dear, that I grasped the sitnation. I could
not appreciate at first the trno state of your
feelings, bnt soon I did and then came my
agony. All tho timo I thought of you,
nestled in that little homo, with onr dear
babies around you, fixed or purpose, confi
dent, unswerving."
DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.
At this point he was killed. While Good
win was lying on tho lounge in his room
after he was shot he asked Mrs. Simpson to
take charge of his papers, and mentioned
this unfinished letter. Mrs. Simpson locked
the desk where the letter was lying, and
later in the evening took charge of all tho
papers. This morning, when Detective Hays
asked her" for tho letter, she refused to give
it to him, and only surrendered it when he
threatened to arrest hor.
Tho polico have not yet located the mur
derer. This afternoon Betty Green, or
Evelyn Granville, or Mrs. Webster and the
Percival chambermaid, whom she calls her
maid, and all tho other witnesses in the case
woro at Jefferson Market, Thoro Justice
Hogan is sitting. It was after 5 o'clock when
the Justice decided to take an affidavit
against Webster, nnd to hold "Mrs. Webster"
and the chnmbermaid on tho affidavit of the
detective that they are material witnesses.
Aftor Justice Hogan finished the examina
tion of the witnesses. Lawyer Dittenhoefer
askod him why tho women woro detained.
Justice Hogan replied that he thought thaf
the women were matortal witnesses.
"But Mrs. Webster cannot bo a witness for
the prosecution," said the lawyer.
"Why?"
"Because the statute says that a wife can
not testify against the husband?"
NO EVIDENCE OF MABRtAOE.
"There Is no evidence here," said tho Jus
tice, 'of a marriage. I asked her to-day
when and whoro tho ceremony was per
formed, nnd she said that there had been no
ceremony."
But a marriage by contract is valid, is it
not?"
"There is nothing here to show that there
was even a contract. I shall require that
these women glvo ball for $500 to appear
when wanted."
No one nt tho Percival know anything
abont Goodwin's wife or where she is. He has
lived there for nearly a year, and has always
appeared as a bachelor. Tho fact that the
letter is broken off as it is in the middle of
a sentence is looked upon ns bad for tho
story of Mrs. Webster that Goodwin camo in
her room on Sunday night. Sho said that
when Webster opened tho door Goodwin ran
back to his own room nnd Webster followed.
The shooting followed immediately.
A bright-eyed and nervous woman, ac
companied by a man and a chambermaid
walked up to the box office of Palmer's
Theater to-night. Tho nervous woman
wns about to apply for tickets for
the play, and the mnn and the
chambermaid expostulated with an
earnestness thnt attracted tho attention
of all the loungers in thelobby. Sho walked
away finally. Manager As kin said after
ward that no recognized her as "Evelyn
Granville," the ex-actress of the Casino, who
has been living with Webster.

the greater part of the paper, and consisted
of an advertisement of four prizes to be

rect list of English words of not less than
four letters constructed from tho letters
contained in tho words "The World's Fair,"
each competitor to send with bis list the
sum of $1; the subscription price or the

quired throughout the United States upon
the basis of this offer. Prizes wore adver
tised to bo awarded on June 25, 1891, the first
prize consisting of $1,000 in gold, the second
prize a grand piano valued at $100 and the
fourth prize, a sewing machine, estimated

MONET IN. CIRCULATION.
The Amount Has Been Steadily on the In
crease Since the Year 1800.
Washington, Aug. 4. A statement has
been prepared at the Treasury Department
in regard to the amounts of money In circu
lation on July 1 of the years 1860, 13S5, 1835,
18S9 and 1S91, from which it appears that the
nssertion that th'ero has been since tho war
a great reduction of tho amount of money in
circulation is without .foundation. The
statement gavs:
"All the statements furnished are made
npon precisely the same basis. The amount
or each kind of money in the Treasury and
the remainder is given as the amount in cir
culation. Tho amount of money in circula
tion In I860 was abont (433 000.C03. and the
amount per capita was $13 85. In 1S65 there
was $172,000,000 in circnlat on and the per
capita amount was $20 Si Twenty yenrs Int
er tho circulation was over $1,292,000,000 and
tho per capita was $23 02. while on January 1
last the amount was nearly $1,529,000,000,000
with $21 10 as tho per capita allowance.
"Owing to shipments of gold to foreign
countries, there has been n decline sinco
January 1, 1391, not only in the por capita
amount, bnt in tho total circulation, which,
on the first instant, notwithstanding the
outflow of gold, was nbout $1,500,000,000, nnd
the amount per capita was $23 37."
WOOL IN THE TARHT ACT.
An Impostant Decision of Interest to Ohio
' Wool Growers.
New York, Aug. 4. The Board of General
Appraisers to-day rendered an Important
decision on the construction of paragraph
3S3of the now tariff act, which has recently
became a live subject of controversy be
tween tho wool growers of Ohio nnd Now
Englaud. Tho verdict was rendered by
Judge Sumerville, who reached the conclu
sions thnt tho "sorting clauses" referred to
in paragraph 383 apply to all wools, includ
ing wool of the third class. Sorting is hero in
effect defined by the statute to bo n process
of separation which increases in value the
imported wool by a rejection of a part of the
original fleece.
The phrase in paragraph 383 "shall bo
twice the duty to which it (the wool or hair)
would be otherwise subject" means that the
duty on tho sorted wools, "when separated
otherwise th.m as to colors, and increased In
value shall bo twice the duty to which tho
fleece in Its unsorted condition shall be
liable. Any "sorting" or manipulation of
w ools made with the intent to evade lawfnl
duties Is a fraud on the law and subjects the
merchandise to the penal duties imposed.
Tho board reserves the collectors' decision
in both of tho casts under consideration.

THIS EJJYIDErCE.'
Three Remarkable Results Described by
Well-Known Residents.
OVERWHELMING PROOF'
Of the Superior Skill of the Electro-"
pathic Physicians at 507
Penn Avenue.
Mr. J. ralmcr, one of Pittsburg's most
estimable citizens, living on Lawn street,
near Craft avenue (Fourteenth ward), in
speaking of the rapid and wonderful recov
ery he made from a case of rheumatism that
had sorely afflicted him for over eight
months, says:
"Only those who have been afflicted with a
similar trouble can havo any idea of my
sufferings. These pains, sometimes dull,
othor times sharp and shooting, made every
muscle nnd nerve throb with aches that were
unbearable. My Joints felt stiff, and every
movement was attended with
EXCRUCIATING SUFFERINGS:
"Even my most quiet moments were dis
turbed with tho twinge3 of an aching body.
I tried different so-called cures without
avail, though some afforded me a temporary
relief.
Mr. John rainier, Lau-n st, near Craft are.
"I saw several articles in the newspapcra
regarding the physicinns of the Electro
pathlc Institute at 507 Penn avenue, and, as
a last resort, concluded to consnlt the physi
cians in charge. They at once diagnosed my
case as chronic rheumatism, and assured me
that
THEY" COULD CURE ME.
"That their promise is fulfilled beyond
my highest expectations Is proved by my
present condition. I can walk easily, sleep
well and my every movements are without
pain. Each treatment has benefited me
more than the last, until now I am convinced
that the electrical treatment as admin
istered by the physicians of the Electro
pathlc Institute is the most scientific and
rational, and productive of better and more
permanent results than any other. My
strongest words of approval and recommen
dation shall at all times be used in their be
half." PARALYSIS CURED.
Bed-Ridden and Suffering for Years a
Paralytic, Yet Mrs. John Fields. Un
able to Move Her Limbs, Is Final
ly Believed by the Physicians of
the FJecrropathic Institute.
It has been over five years since I was
first stricken with this malady, paralysis,
and what I suffered in that time can scarcely
be described." The speaker was Mrs. John
Fields, residing at 30 Beaver avenue, Alle
gheny. Mrs. John Fields, SO Beaver Avenue, Allegheny,
"I had been feeling very well all day, when
suddenly, without warning, I received the
stroke which made me perfectly helpless. I
could not make any movement without as
sistance. My whole body felt as cold as ice.
For 14 months 1 lay downstairs, my rela
tives fearing to move me. Daring that time
n Tinmripi- nf nhvslclmis were in constant
attendance, and, while I would seem to
rally, mere was never any percepnuie per
manent change for the better. Often times
I wished at the close of the day that before
morning came a merciful Providence would
END MY" SUFFERINGS.
"My husband had spent vast sums of money
in trying different cures, but to no avail.
I concluded to try, as a last resort, the effi
cacy of the electrical treatment as applied
by the physicians of tho Elcctropathic In
stitute, 507 Penn avenue.
"The first treatment I received benefited
me so much that I wns able to lift my arm.
above mv head. For six months before that
time I had been totally unable to raise
my arms at all. I gradually imnroved nntil
now I can do numerous duties that I
never dreamt would bo my good fortune to
do again before I died.
"I unhesitatingly recommend these physi
cians ana their metnous, ana jeeisureiuas
they will effect a permanent cure where re
lief is at all possible."
YEARS OFSUFFERING.
Another Local Case and Itemarkable Result
Accomplished by the Electropathlo
Physicians at C07 Penn Avenue.
"For more than five years I suffered as I
did not think it possible for a human being
to suffer and Jive."
The speaker was 3Irs. Mary J. Confer, who
lives at 113 Lacock street, Allegheny.
"I was first stricken with rheumatism, and
to anyone who has suffered from this disease
I need not descrtbo its tortures. Had con
stent pains shooting from one muscle or
joint to another, and constant heavy, dull
aches. To this was added the pangs and ox
cruciating twinges or neuralgia.
"My life was ono of misery, and mere
EXISTENCE A TORTURE. .
"The constant pain I suffered finally re
suited in completo nervous prostration. In
somnia, or sleeplessness, was added to my
other ills, and I was in a state bordering
npon frenzy.
"I doctored with the best physicians in
Pittsburg and wasted quantities of money,
all to no avail. While at times I was helped,
temporarily, my case constantly grew
WORSE AND WORSE.
"My attention was called to the Pittshnrg
Electropathic Institute at507Penn avenue,
and as a torlorn hope I determined to
try a course or electricity. Tapplied to the
physicians in charge, and after diagnosing
my case they placed me under treatment.
"To make a long story short, altera regu
lar course of treatment I am entirely cured.
My pains and aches haveall left me. lean
not too highly commend the Institute, or
tho physicians in charge of it, to those who
suffer ns I did."
