The fea ture of the third day of the grand circuit meeting was the mile in 2:12; hy Nancy Uanks, who started to lower her record of 2:14. Poble was aide to drive, and rated the mnie, as the following quarters show: 32Ji, .133,', .T.J., and 32'4 seconds. The mare wa in rare good form, and moved so easily, finishing strong at a 2.-09 gait, that it was evident ihat she could have done a trifle faster, and Doblc confirmed this opinion. He wanted to make the last quarter the best one, and when he found how quickly he had gone the first one he cased up to the third. The runner that started to accom pany the swift Kentucky marc was- not suited for this, as he fell hack, coming homo Just where he would have been useful. As Naucy Hunks is to co in the stake race at Independence ngninst Allerton twowcoks from this, Doble gave her some more brushy work later on, sending her from the half mile pole to the wire in 1:X the last quarter in 31 i4 seconds. A CHARMING DAY. There was quite a crowd present and the day was a perfect one. The regular contests were interesting enough, though two were over in three heats cicli. .1. R. Richardson -was the selection for the 2:17 trot, selling for j75iu pools of $200. Vic H.who brought from $19 to jl2 in these, surprised everybody, Mon roe Gal being included by doing the speedy old gelding up in straight heat. Richard son -cnt taster than ever bctorc, but the lirown mate from the. Pacific slope was too stcadv and too pecdv for him. She trotted the first mile in 2 lCVi with Walter E, and Richardson lapped at the wire. In tho second heat Richardson got tho lcadpastthe hall, but he lost his stride down the stretch and-nnsn neck behind in 2:16?.J. Tho third heat was in the same notch,J- 11.

Our Famous Slugrjers Keep TJp Tlielr Gait at Philadelphia Baldwin Amused Lots of People by a Funny Performance, Which Gave the Phillies the Game Other Contests. rfrrCT.Vt. TKLEGRsM TO THE D1SPATCII.J PuilADELmiA, Aug. 13. Baldwin, sur named JIark, whoso pitching abilities, though pronounced, arc not commensuinto with his nerve, was a largo and Important factor in the opening game with Pittsburg to-day. In fnci, he monopolized the first two innings, and it was owing solely and entirely to his masterly efforts iu tho box that the Phillies secured their flvo runs, and, as it turned out, the victory. He was wild In more respects than ono. Ho gave three bases on balls, made two wild bitches and ono wild throw, w hich, with two little singles, netted the Phillie9a lead that was much appreciated in the ninth. A wild throw by Miller let in the sixth run and a similar displav by Uierbauer let in the seventh. Kling, the Phillies' new pitcher, made his appearance, and all things consid ered he did lairly well. He was palpably rattled in tho second inning, 'when Miller and Beekley set up such a din as has not been heard hero beloro this season, and hich it is to be hoped will nover be heard again, and he gave two bases on balls and made a wild throw which vieldcd the Pitts burgs three runs. Thovdiilnot count after that until tho ninth, when an unfortunate wild throw by Myers gave them an oppor tunity to score three runs and put the spec tators on the anxious bench, lion Allen in jured his ankle in the. sixth and had to re tire.

The two men who were executed to-dny were members of the reigning family of Jlanipur, but neither their high posi tions nor the appeals for clemency that had been made for them could save them from the vengeance of the law. Both had appealed from the sentence of death imposed upon them bv the Military Court of Inquiry before which they were tried, but the Viceroy of India, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, had decided that the interests of Great Britain demanded that these men who had waged war against the Queen andjabcttcd murder should die. They were soldiers, vet not for them was the honor of a soldier's death. They were hanged like ordinary murderers. The principal victim of to-day's tragedy was the Senaputty, or Commander in Chief of the Manipur army. He was a young brother of the Ilajnh of Manipur, and some years ago he drove the Rajah into exile and placed another brother on the throne, who governed Manipur under the title of Jubraj, or Regent. It was the Senaputty who in stigated the massacre T)f Chief Commissioner Qumton, Political Agent Grimwood and the others who lost their lives at the fatal Durbar held in Manipur. The other victim was the Tongal General who violated the flag of truce under which the Englishmen were decoyed from the residence at Manipur which they had so gallantly defended against overwhelming odds when attacked by the Manipuris, and who gave the order to the native executioner to strike the heads and feet from the British prisoners. An immense crowd of natives witnessed the executions. There was no sign of any disturbance among the spectators. This was undoubtedly due to the fact that large detachments of troops, both British aud native, were present, and had any disorders occurred they were prepared to quell it in very short order. The Regent of Manipur and the Prince Angoa Sena, whose sentences of death Mere commuted by the Viceroy to transportation lor life and the forleiture of their property, will shortly be taken from the country. It has not vet been publicly announced to which of the British possessions they will be transported. THE BTJSSIA BYE UKASE. One of Its Effects Is to Increase the Demand for Indian Corn. LONDON, Aug. 13. The Triest failure and the Russian ukase together have do pressed most international stocks. It is feared ihat the failure of crops in Russia will give rise to popular disaffection, from which the Russian Government is not un likely to endeavor Jo distract public atten tion by a policy of foreign complications or aggressions. There is an indication of an apprehensive feeling on the Stock Exchange, and even American securities yesterday failed to at tract the attention of Olivers. The Russian ukase caused a hardening of the prices of cereals in Liverpool. Rye is not much dealt in in England as compared with the business in that commodity on the Continent, but its absence causes Indian corn to be in request, and for that Liverpool is one of the chief European markets. Hence a further ad vance in maize is expected. The German Cabinet will meet on Satur day to discuss the means to minimize the ill-effects of the Russian rye ukase on the poorer classes, who are wholly dependent upon rye bread. The Provincial Governors and Boards are instructed to report to the Government onlhe stocks on hand antl the harvest prospects. Official organs assert that Russia will not be able to continue the prohibition long for fear of disaster to her own finances. THE Y. M. C. A. OF THE W0BLD. American Associations Extolled for Their Work by an American Delegate. Amsterdam, Aug. 13. The AVorld's Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association opened its second day's pro ceedings this morning. A paper prepared by "William D. Murray, of Plaintield, X. J., showed that while the American associa tions were very prosperous and rapidly growing in numbers, membership and property, and were giving much attention to the social, mental and physical develop ment of young men, the greatest and most prosperous work of the associations was in the development of the religious life of young men and in the effort for their con version. In the afternoon the second topic, "The Young Men's Christian Association and Its Attitude With Regard to the Social Ques tion," was discussed. At the evening ses sion the third topic, "The Young Men's Christian Associations in Roman Catholic Countries: How to Counteract the Difficul ties Which Prevent Their Development," was discussed. CANADA'S ROTTEN G0VEBNMENT. English Opinion of the Resignation of Sir Hector Langovin. " London, Aug. 13. Sir Hector Lange vin's resignation of his portfolio in the Dominion Cabinet as Minister of Public "Works, is the subject of much comment. The Chronicle hopes that he will be able to clear himself from the charges against him, but it says that it cannot longer doubt that the whole system of public works in Canada recks with wastefulness and corruption. Only by bringing the offenders to justice can the Dominion Gov ernment avert political catastrophes. The Advertiser also strongly condemns the corruption existing at Ottawa. The rail Mnll Gazette says Sir Hector has done the straight thing in resigning his portfolio, and hopes that he will succeed in proving his bauds are clean. THE KAISEB'S W0UBDED KNEE. An Authentic Story of the Recent Mishap Is Published nt Last. Berlin, Aug. 13. The Cologne Gazette gives the following as an authentic account of the Emperor's recent accident: The Emperor was leaning on the door of the cabin of the imperial yacht, talking ani matedly with members pf his suite, when he suddenly turned and at the 6ame moment slipped on the linoleum covered deck. Dr. Leuthold, on making an examination, found the Emperor's right knee cap dislo cated. The Emperor bore the painful oper ation the replacing of the knee cap with out flinching. Dr. Leuthold bandaged the knee and advised the Emperor to stay in bed. The Emperor can now stand and even walk without difficulty. The knee is still kept bandaged as a precaution.

Long List of Fresh Imperial Ontrages Just Pnbllshed An Instance ofnhe Czarina's Intolerance Fares to America Are Sold nt Less Than Cost. 3 London, Aug. 13. The work entitled "In Darkest Russia" has met with a very good sale to-day, and the sccpnd edition was issued. The book is devoted to an exposure of the wrongs from which Hebrews in Rus sia suffer, and the edition of to-day gives long lists of fresh prosecutions to which Hebrews in that country have been sub jected. A vast mass of statistics is pre sented to prove that the statement alleged to have been made by the Czar that He brews were connected with dynamite out rages is unfounded. One instance of the intolerance of the Czarina is given in the'book. Her Majesty, in company with the Czar sometime since, inspected the troops forming the garrison at Moscow. It is customarv on such occasions to give the soldiers a hofiday after the in spection is concluded. On the occasion re ferred to the officers of the, various regi ments were instructed that no Hebrew soldier must be present at the inspection. At the particular request of the Cznrina the Hebrews were confined to their barracks. The books contains a letter from the Duke of "Westminster saying that things in Rus sia ore going from bad to worse. The in humanity of the Russian authorities, the Duke declares, is astonishing almost in credible. The Czar, according to the same authority, renders himself liable to be placed in the category of rulers who, like Philip II. of Spain, clothed with irresponsi ble power, have used it, not for the happi ness and benefit of their subjects, but for their ruin. A letter from a Hebrew in Russia to a Minister in London is also published in the book. The writer says that the most serious matter of all is the general outlawry in which Hebrews are held. Every petty Rus sian official assumes the right to treat them as be thinks fit. A letter received from a gentleman in Charlottenburg, Germany, de scribing the condition of Hebrews who are fleeing from Russia, savs that refucees who have not sufficient money to pay the full price ot tickets to America, have received tickets from the Hebrew Emigration Com mittee at less than cost. CHINA MUST KEEP THE PEACE. Representatives of Several Powers Send a Joint Note to Its Government. LONDON, Aug. 13.

A BATTLE OF FARMERS. Hundreds of Jerseymen Wind Up a Picnic With a Glorious Old Fight. SPECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.) AVilmington, Del.-, Aug. 13. The South Jersey farmers with their families and friends, S,000 in all, held their annual re union at Pennville, N. J., to-day. The ex ercises began at 9 o'clock, and for three liquid hours beer flowed freely down far mers' throats.

They fought with their fists and bruised eac'h other badly. Tiring of this the farmers armed themselves with carriage whips and using the butt wore them out upon each other. In the hottest of the riot one of the ringleaders was knocked down and while defenceless was kicked in the head. He is in a critical condition. Two hundred persons watched the riot from housetops. "When the battle closed the scene reminded one of the battlefield of the Wilderness. M0BTIMEB, THE MISSING SECBETABY. Ho Promised to Return to Chicago Tester day, but Failed to Appear.

P Mortimer, the missing secretary of the National Capital Savings Building and Loan Association of North America, dated at Minneapolis, stating that he had started for Chicago.

CHINESE HELD BACK. They Are Not Allowed to Land In San Francisco From a Steamer. San Francisco, Aug. 13. The landing of Chinese from the steamer Oceanic was stopped to-day by the order of Collector Phelps. The order was due to n circular received from the Treasury Department, quoting the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Wen Sing. The latter is a laborer and wanted to land on the ground of prior residence. The Court held that no Chinese, merchant or otherwise, could land in the United States unless he was provided with a con sular certificate. To obtain this certificate lie would have to prove he a was conducting a mercantile business in this country, which would be almost impossible in China. Col lector l'hclps holds that this practically excludes all Chinese except those connected with diplomatic corps. LEPERS IN NEW YORK. Two Chinamen Who Are Thought to Be Afflicted With Leprosy TAKEN TO A CHARITY HOSPITAL. Doctors in Doubt as to the True Mature of Their Disease. CHINAMEN ASSERT THAT IT IS LEPROSY SPECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, Aug. 13. Ong Moy Toy, a Chinese gambler who has been living at No. 24 Mott street, and Tsang Ding, who has two Chinese groceries, were sent to the Charity Hospital on Blackwell's Island on Monday afternoon by order of Dr. Cyrus Edson, Of the Board of Health. Both men were suffering from a disease that resembled leprosy. They were afflicted with ulcers, but the physicians of the Board ot Health who saw the men were not prepared to say they were lepers, so they were sent to the Charity Hospital, where they could receive good treatment and be carefully watched. To-day the physicians of the Charity Hos pital notified Dr. Edson that both men were undoubtedly lepers. The Health Board and the Commissioners of Charities and Correction are now in a quandary as to what disposition shall be made of these lepers. Less than a month ago Chin Hop Sing, a laundryman, was found to be a leper, and was sent up to the Charity Hospital. Chinamen in Mott street say there are other cases of leprosy among their countrymen here, and, although Dr. Edson says there is comparatively little danger of the disease spreading, he thinks that there should be a separate hospital for such eases. Commissioner Sheehy, of the Board of Charities and Correction, says the hospital on Blackwell's Island is not the proper place for patients suffering with con tagious diseases. TSANG DINO RETURNS HOME. To-dav Tsang Ding left the hospital and returned to Mott street and his grocery business. The physicians at the hospital had no authority to detain him, and to-morrow Dr. Edison is going to isolate him in some other place. Tsang Ding is about 45 years old. For three years lie has been suffering from a disease "that at least is akin to leprosy in symptoms. He is looked upon by his countrymen as a man of considerable influence and money. He says that he is not afflicted with leprosy, but with a taint in the blood Dr. Edson, on the report of Inspectors Doty and Blauvelt, persuaded him to go to the Charity Hospital. His cousin', who has been living with him, went to the hospital to-day, accompanied by a lawyer, and de manded his release. iVing Ding said he wanted to go home and the physicians were powerless to detain him. The leper's room is on the top floor of a tenement, and there are only two or three other Chinamen who live in "the house. The stairs were crowded with children last night and they all knew where the leper lived. A PROTEST FROM WOMEN. Some of the women protested against his being allowed to remain in the house. Tsang Ding's cousin said to the reporter that Tsang had been in this country for nearly 20 years, and that the ulcers "with which he was afflicted made their appear ance only three years ago. When Chin Hop Sing's case was discovered, Dr. Edson said thaCalt hough there were a number of cases of leprosy in New York all the time, there was no record of any case where the disease had been contracted here. Tsang says he has an enemy in Mott street who has made him much trouble, and it was this enemy who accuses him of being a leper. If the police and the Board ol Health will let him alone he will cure himself. He has enough money to engage his own physicians, and he does not want any assistance. Ong Moy Toy, the other leper who was sent to the Charity Hospital, is still there. He is a big Chinaman, 40 years old, and he has made himself feared in Mott street be cause of his readiness to fight. For some time he has left his room only at night. His face is puffed, his eyes are nearly closed, and his ears and nose look as if they were ulcerated. He has been permitted to mingle freely with the Chinese gamblers, although it has been reported for some time that he was a leper. CHINESE IDEA OF IT. Many of the Chinese, however, think that that disease is not contagious, but is a special visitation upon those whose an cestors have been wicked. "WheiuDr. Ed son examined Ong Moy Toy before sending him to the hospital he found indications of leprosy, but the symptoms of another disease were so strongly marked that he didn't feel sure it was really a case of leprosy. Dr. "Edson said: "San Francisco has a hospital for lepers and I think we should have one here. I believe these cases should be isolated, although leprosy now is not nearly as contagious as it was years ago. In fact, the liability of infection is very slight indeed. AVe have no appropriation to pay the expenses of these lepers' way back to China even if the law permitted it." Dr. Edson does not think that leprosy is spreading in this city or that there is any cause for alarm becaiiso every few months a leper is discovered in the Chinese colony here. Ong Moy Toy and Tsang Dine were placed hi separate wards at the Charity Hospital and were isolated as much as possible. Commissioner Sheehy, however, said that it was not the duty of the Board of Charities and Correction to take care of the Health Board's patients, and they were not going fo keep any lepers in the Charity Hospital.

A NEW ASSOCIATION SCANDAL, The Ex-Secretary of a Cincinnati Concern a Heavy Defaulter. Cincinnati, Aug. 13. There have been rumors afloat for several days that the af fairs of the Camp AVashington Building Association in this city were not in a de sirable condition from a business point of view. There is no official report to support this rumor, but yet it is an open secret the ex-Secretary of that asso ciation, Jacob Franzreb, has misappro priated about $15,000 of its funds. An expert has been working on the ac counts of the Secretary for several days. The result of his investigation was to have boen officially reported to a meeting of the shareholders of the Association to-night, but it was not yet complete. Enough is known to warrant the unofficial statement that his shortage is not less than $15,000. His method, it is alleged, was to draw the money out of the bank on bogus checks, which he could easily do, as his signature to an order for money was sufficient under the rules of the association. Jacob Franzreb, the Secretary charged with defalcation, is still in the city. He will be arrested to morrow. He says if ho is arrested he will give awav several other people wflo are in the same box with him. He was secretary of several other building associations, among the number the Allemania, which charges that he is defaulter in it to ?0,000. LEADVILLE BICH IN SILVEB.

PISTOLS AND DRUGS Used by a Bold Bandit in Robbing a Prominent-Memphis Banker IN A HOTEL IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. The Tictim Forced to Sign a Check and L'cpt a Close l'risoner. TIIEX CHLOROFORMED AND DESERTED Memphis, Aug. 13. R. Dudley Frayser, President of the Security and the Memphis City banks, secretary of the Memphis City Bailway, principal owner of the Public Ledger, and one of the most prominent and wealthy citizens of Memphis, was this after noon chloroformed and robbed at theGayoso Hotel. About 0 o'clock this morning a gentle man registering as "John A. Morris, Jew Orleans," was assigned a room at theGayoso, for which he paid in advance and occupied at once. During the morning he ordered a bottle of whisky from the bar, and a bell boy secured a bottle of camphor for him from a drugstore. About 2:30 o'clock this morning Mr. Frayser, sitting in bis private office at the Memphis City Rank, received a note, signed John A. Morris, requesting Mr. Frayser to call on him at once on busi ness of importance. Mr. Frayser was at the hotel in a few minutes, and was ushered into Mr. Morris' room. IN HIE ROLE OF A LOTTERY MAN. The latter introduced himself as John A. Morris, of the Louisiana Lottery Company, of New Orleans. Hesaidthe lottery cotii panv had been antagonized greatly of late in tliat State; that their investments had been unfavorable, and lottery property gen erally was unsafe, and he wished to consult him In regard to it. - Mr. Frayser gave him what information he could in regard to Memphis moneyed in stitutions, but would give no advice and turned to go. At this juncture Mr. Morris asked him to have a drink. He declined, saying he did not drink, but Morris in sisted, and Mr. rrayser walked across the room to a window while Morris opened a satchel. "Here," said Morris, and as Mr, Fravser turned around he .was greatly startled to find two revolvers, one in each of Mr. Mor ris' hands staring him in the face. Said Morris, "I am a desperate man: I have no money; my family in Xcw Orleans are in destitute circumstances, and I must have money; you must endorse a check for ?5,000." AVhen Mr. Frayser had recovered from his astonishment he tried to argue with the men, telling him he that he did not have that much money . to give him. The New Orleans man persisted, however, and finally Mr. Frayser agreed to indorse a check for 500. KEPT TRISONER IN THE HOTEL. The check was then drawn on the Hiber nian National Bank of Xcw Orleans, and Mr. Frayser indorsed it "II. D. Fraser," hoping the cashier at his bank would sus pect something wrong and refuse to cash it, as he always indorsed his checks "11. Dud ley Frayser." A bell boy was at once called by Mr. Morris and the check sent to the Memphis City Bank, Mr. Frayser being kept pris oner in the hotel. After the boy had gone Morris walked over to where Mr. Frayser was standing, and clapping a napkin over his face threw him on the bed, and that is the last of his adventure Mr. Frayser can recall. Mr. AVhite, proprietor of the hotel, waa notified about I! o'clock this evening that there was something wrong in Morris's room, as cries of "Murderj" "Thieves," could be plainly heard issuing from that room. He called a clerk and they broke open the door. Mr. Frayser was found un conscious, and the odor of chloroform was overpowering. His watch was gone, ?50 were gone and Morrin was eone'Tho cheek lay on the table unpaid. Tne bell boy had taken it to the bank twice at Morris's re quest, payment, however, being each tima refused. LANGEYIN ON THE STAND. THE KESIGNEO MLNISTETC OF CAN'A. DIAX PUBLIC WORKS Defends Himself From tho Charges of Corruption in Regard to Public Con tracts ni Relations With Thomas 31c Greevy No Knowledge of Illegitimate Methods. Ottawa, Aug. 13. Sir Hector Lange vin, the resigned Minister of Public AVorks, was to-day given hearing and cross-exam ination on the charges that he had been bribed with money and gifts by those whoso business interests it was in his power to further. Mr. Davies resumed his cross-examination of Sir Hector. Being asked if he had re ceived any money from Thomas McGreevy, he said he had not, either for his own or any other election. Xo such money ever passed through his hands. As to his contribution to Le JTonde, he never took any shares in' the paper and never had any interest in it ex cept a political one.
