NORMANNIA
rfPXCTAI. TELZGIUM TO TOT DISPATCH.
New Yoke, Sept 6. There was an ap
parent lull to-day in the progress of the
plague, which the health authorities have
thus far succeeded in confining to the Lower
Bay. An 8-year-old girl, one of the N or
mannia's steerage passengers, sickened on
Hoffman Island in the morning and died a
few minutes after being removed to fjwin
burne Island, where all the cholera patients
are treated, and Ernst Thiele, another of
the Normannia's immigrants, died on Swin
burne island.
The number of new cases that developed
during the day showed, however, that the
state of affairs, particularly aboard the
Normannia, is more alarming than ever.
Most of the danger which the Normannia's
cabin passengers have to fear is found in
a the ship's forecastle. Of the 11 new cases
I that developed to-day, four were among the
crew of the Normannia.
Many of the If onnannia's crew have been
removed with the steerage passengers to
Hoffman Island, but a large number mnst
remain behind to man the ship and 'serve
. the cabin passengers. The full comple
4 ment of men which the Normannia carries
1 is 316 and the cholera appears to hav. a
f strong foothold among them, for the num
ber of cases reported is increasing every
day.
Dangers Surround tho Passengers.
Both on the Rngia and Moravia, where
so many deaths occurred, not one of the
crew was attacked, but the cases were con
fined to the steerage passengers. The cabin
passengers are obliged to come in contact
with the stewards and others of the crew,
and if the crew is infected very generally,
the menace to the health of the cabin pas
sengers becomes very great.
One of the deaths on the Normannia dur
ing the trip was among the crew. On Sun
day another of the crew died, and still an
other death was recorded on Monday, while
two more of tba crew was stricken down on
the same day. To-day four of the crew,
left on the ship, became cholera patients.
On the Rugia to-day three more steerage
passengers showed unmistakable symptoms
of the disease.
The nurse, Adelald Merries, on Swin
burne Island, who is believed to be ill with
the cholera, caught while attending the
''patients, was reported to be very low last
night
Records of Deaths and New Cases.
This is the record of to-day's cases:
Deaths Gertrudo Scharni, 8 years old,
steerage passenger on Normannia, died on
Swinburne Island: Ernst ThieL 31 years
old, steerage passenger on Konnannta,
died on Swinburno Island.
New Cases Heiney Fenta?, 20 years old. of
Normannla's crew, taken sick on Norman
nia; Franz Baumbach, 24 years old, or
Normannla's crew, taken sick op Norman
nia; Rudolph Enk, 21 years old, or Nor
mannla's crew, taken sick on Normannia;
Christian Peterson, 21 years old, of Nor
mannla's crew, taken sick on Normannia;
Jacob G rawer, 51 years old, steerage
passenger on Rugia, taken sick
on Ruzia; Johannes,, Jablonlker,
26 years old, steerage passenger on Ruzia;
Kaethe Seiffert, 21 years old, steerage pas
senger on Rngia, taken sick on Rusia; and
lour new cases on the Normannia which, it
was learned late, were among the seventy
i stokers who were taken to Hoffman Island.
They were taken ill on the Normannia after
being taken back from Hoffman Island.
Slim Ounces for a Transfer.
$ The Normannla's passengers were very
much elated to-day over the news that a
vessel would soon be obtained to which they
could all be transferred. Prom the way
things looked last night it does not appear
that their expectations will be realized very
quickly. The Hamburg-American Com
pany, which has expressed its willingness
to engage a steamer for the purpose, cannot
find anyone who is willing to lend a ves-

avoided if she went back into regular
service a?ain.
More ships lay yesterday off npper quar
antine than have been anchored there since
the cholera scare began. At one time there
were a dozen steamships from foreign and
domestic ports, all of whose captains were
anxious lor the word from Dr. Jenkins
which would enable them to proceed to
their docks.
Secretary Foster says the Government
will probably offer Sandy Hook as a refuge
camp for the cabin passengers, of the cholera
ships.
Dr. Jenkins has forwarded a letter tp the
Secretary of the Treasury that he will carry
I m out the .President s order and that he will
tj rigidly enforce the rules.
MATTERS WELL IN HAND.
Mayor Grant and Health Officials Keep Up
tho Work of Preparation for the Plague
Snrsestioni That Other Eastern Ports
of Entry lie Guarded,
New Yoke, Sept 6. Special Mayor
Grant had a private wire put in to-day to.
enable him to communicate by telephone
with the officials ot the Health Department
This completes the telephonic connection
between the Mayor's office and all of the
city departments. The first act of the
Mayor, on his arrival at his office,
was to telephone to Health Officer
Jenkins to learn the situation of
affairs in the pest squadron down the bay.
Soon after he had an extended conference
with President Wilson, of the Health
Board, President Barker, ot the Depart
ment of Taxes, and Dr. Frank Ferguson, a(
consulting physician to the State Board of
Health. The purpose of this conference
was to keep ths work of preparation
for the plague, well in advance of any
emergency. The advisability of separating
the cabin passengers and tha well steerage
passengers from the sick, more effectively
than at present, was the principal subject
discussed. This involved the ques
tion whether th healthy should
be removed to other vessels
chartered for the occasion and kept there
during the period of their quarantine.
There was a general disenssion as to the
position of the city authorities and that of
the health officer, but no conclusion was
reached.
Croton Water No Menace.
To a reporter who tried to interview the
Mayor on the subject of the pollution of the
Croton water suppply, the Mayor said: "I
do not consider the Croton water a menace
to the city's health, which can compare with
the taking of letters from the infected ships,
in violation of the quarantine."
This was the only answer the reporter
got Questioned regarding the situation
generally, the Mayor said after the confer
ence: "The situation remains the same.
The disease is at bay at quarantine. The
city is prepared. "The quarantine
arrangements have received the approval
of all who have investigated them. I
notice that the Secretary ot the Treasury is
in the city 'considering the advisability of
Federal assistance to the authoritiei of the
port of New York. It seems to me that
things are so well in hand here that this
assistance would be more desirable in other
directions.
Tt ants Boston tooted After. N
"It would be a very helpful thing, in my
opinion, if the Secretary of the Treasury
would notify the Collectors and otheiCus
tomj authorities of the Eastern ports, par
ticularly of Boston and New 'Haven, to
guard against the danger of the entry
of the plague in that direction. They
have revenue cuUers "under their orders
crusing in the waters of the East, particu
larly Long Island Sound, to guard against
the infrincem-nt of the revenue laws. ' The
officers of these cutters could -well be clothed
with quarantine powers, and ordered to in
tercept all vessels found in these waters
coming from a foreign port
"The paper industry of Connecticut and
Massachusetts depends largely upon the
foreign market tor rags to use as paper
making material New Haven, for in
stance, is a port of entry to a considerable
extent for these rags. The sources of sup
ply have in the past included the tombs bf
Egypt To-day these rags come in from the
squalid districts of Italy. Their shipment
from that pest hole. Hambunr. is a Dart of
the business of that port There i' an ap
parent laxity in this direction which would
justify the Secretary of the Treasury to act
If the Treasury Department would patrol
the Sound, another safeguard will be estab
lished not only lor New York, but for the
country."
CHICAGO OFFICERS VHHLAHT. '

Chicago, 111., Sept a The homeopathy
doctors of Chicago are contemplating the
establishment 'of a number of cholera
hospitals in various parts of the city. A
meeting is to be held in a week or two to
arrange the details for carrying out the pro
posed scheme. Health officers are keeping
a sharp lookout on Grand Trunk trains for
immigrants who sailed August 16th on the
steamship Bremen for Montreal.
A train full of immigrants, 300 or more,
fresh irom Europe, arrived here over the
Grand Trunk Railroad last night A second
tram, bringing about seventy immigrants,
came in over the Wabash road earlv this
morning. Dr. Montgomery met the first
lot at Blue Island and, pronouncing them
free lrom disease, the train proceeded to the
depot Those who arrived "on the second
train left for the West and Northwest after
inspection.
GTJABDLN G THE CANADIAN LINE.
Detroit's Health Officers Will Detain Im
migrants Twenty Days.
Detroit, Mich., Sept 6. The Board of
Health, acting under the authority given
them by the Surgeon General's circular,
which has been approved by President Har
rison, has decided to -establish a 20 days'
quarantine in Detroit, against immigrants
coming by way of Canada into the United
States." As in New York, the 20 days will
be the limit, but it does not follow that all,
or any, immigrants will be detained that
length of time. If there is any sickness on
the train suggestive of cholera, passengers
can be held 20 days. The length of time of
their detention will depend upon circum
stances. The body of a child reported to
have died of sporadic cholera was taken from
the steamer India, from Duluth to Buffalo,
Monday. The child came in contact with
European1 immigrants at Duluth,

A MORTAL PESTH0USE.
Old Hamburg Reeking M 1th Disease Breed
ins; Impurities Its Streets rilled Tflth
Decaying Vegetables and lil-melling
liquids Thousands Crowded Into Mis
erable Quarters.
London, Sept 6. The correspondent of
tbe Neiet in Hamburg, in a description of
that city, says: "No -other European town
presents a greater contrast between its old
aid new 'quarters. The new quarter bf the
town and the suburbs are handsome and well
built with breezy open spaces. The old
part of the town is dirty and stifling, .and
its population of 150,000 is squeezed Into
.the space .of an English town of 5,000 inhab
itants. I never yet have had tbe courage to
explore the further recesses of the sunless
labyrinths, whose each house is occupied
by a dozen families. Tbe narrow streets
are reeking with decayed vegetables and
evil smelling liquids. The old quarter is a
veritable charnel house in case of fire, and a
mortal pestbouse in case of disease."
In describing the listless gloom of the
city and the deserted cafes, vehicles and
places of amusement, the correspondent
says: "It is a new and terrible plague
which privation and poverty are incubat
ing. The ravages of the cholera are most
capricious, sometimes stopping suddenly
where it is expected to spread in a dense
district, then breaking out with virulence
in a beautiful suburb like Barmbeck."
The Half Will Never Bo Known.
The correspondent concludes as follows:
."The real extent of the epidemic will never
be known. The statistics are misleading.
One day the official returns gave the deaths
as less than half of tbe actual number.
Plenty of cases are not traced or are attrib
uted to other diseases. My opinion is, that
if the official returns were doubled they
would not be far wide of the actual num
bers. If Hamburg is to profit by the terri
ble lesson, she must complete the work of
the fire of 1842 and raze to the ground the
pestilent old town and improve sanitation
and the water supply."
The Berlin correspondent of the JVeus
says: "There is now every hope that Ber
lin will escape from the horrors of an epi
demic of this dread scourge. Since August
24, only four deaths from Asiatic cholera
have occurred here. The municipal baths
on the spree were closed to-day as a measure
of precaution against the possible spread of
infection. Fresh cases are reported from
Hamburg, 'Wandsbeck, Hirschenfelde and
Altona. For the last nam:d town Mon
day's record is 16 new cases and ten deaths.
The Silesian authorities have prohibited
the holding of food and cattle markets in
22 towns on account of the cholera out
break. Of three Hamburgers, attacked
with cholera at Sinsheim, near Karlsruhe,
one bas died. A hospital warder and nurse
from Hamburg died at Coblenz to-day
bnt there are no cholera cases of the Asiatio
type. The authorities at "Wismar are pun
ishing those receiving persons from In
fected districts by the imposition of a fine
of LOOO marks, (5250)."
. Victims of Their Fears.
'J.he .Berlin correspondent of the SXmes
says; "Numerous cases of supposed cholera
in the &Ioabil hospital, have proved to be
quite harmless and it is presumed that the
patients will be forthwith discharged. Some
are the victims of exaggerated fears while
many have been reported as being infected
by unscruplous enemies. At a meeting of
the Cory Commissioners, Dr. Guttman,
director or tne jsioabil hospital, and Prof.
Virchow declaredlhat there was no ground
for excessive alarm. The commissioners
resolved that for the present it was not
necessary to build additional hospitals
Prof. Koch advises the abandonment of
the ten days' air which it is proposed to
hold in Bremen at the end of -October. It
is not improbable that, the Hamburg Senate
is hiding the outbreak of the cholera, which
matter, will form a subject ot diplomacy.
The .fact that numerous cases were imported
into other countries by vessels which left
Hamburg between August 16 and 22, the
date when the first notification was given
to Consuls, illustrates the grave responsi
bility which is apparently to be brought
home by the officials."
Denies Concealing the Facts.
A. newspaper correspondent in Hamburg
denies tbe statement that the Senate con
cealed the first outbreak of cholera in 'that
citv. He 'declares that on Animal 19. im.
I mediately after a, bacteriological- exami-
nation had been made in the first case re
ported in the city, the medical authorities
notified the Imperial Sanitary Bureau and
took measures to preveuf a spread of the
disease.
.The Hamburg correspondent of the Stand
ard declares that the epidemic there shows
no signs of abatement. The deaths in the
prisons and lunatic asylums have been dis
proportionately numerous. The corres
pondent savs, "the loss of business through
the epidemic here is estimated at 200,000,000
marks.-"
The Chronicle's Home correspondent says:
"The directions of the President Harrison's
circular, if strictly carried out will entail
serious consequences on Italy, which
country sends to ' American ports 40,000
emigrants annually. The Italian authori
ties are greatly concerned at the restric
tion." It is reported that cholera has made its
appearance in the garrisons of Limoges and
Polctiers in .France. A dispatch from
Malta states that all vessels from ports
from the United Kingdom will be sub
jected to a medical examination. The Times'
correspondent at Simla says: "Cholera has
assumed the form of an epidemic at Murree.
Major Dimond has died of the disease."
CAUSED BY THE RDGIA.
Havro Authorities Trace tho Cholera There
to Her Visit,
Pakis, Sept 6. Fifteen new cases of
cholera were reported in this city yes
terday. There are now 100 suspected
cases of cholera at a prominent hotel.
Four patients received yesterday" at the
Trousseau Hospital died last night. Two
died out of fifteen tafeen. to the Tenot
Hospital, and three out of six taken to the
St Antoine Hospital Tho sickness is bad
iu the eastern, southeastern and south
western quarters of the city.
The Havre papers trace the cause of the
infection at that place to the steamer Bugia
allowing some of her passengers to land
there and spend several hours walking
about the town and frequenting refreshment
houses. Some of these persons complained
at the time of being ill. The statistics of
the Board of Health confirm the report of a
slight improvement of the condition ot
afiairs in this city. Yesterday there were
14 deaths from cholera in Paris and five in
the suburbs, making a total since the out
break of the scourge of 305.
PANIC-STRICKEN OFFICERS.
Hamburg's Officials Make Confused De
ports ofKew Cases.
Hambtjbg, Sept 6. Since noon yester
day 674 new cases of cholera and 284 deaths
from the disease have been reported. Ac
cording to the official reports there have
been a total of 6,708 cases and- 2,940 deaths.
On some days tbe figures profess to give tbe
number of new cases removed to the hospi
tals by ambulances, while on others just
bare figures are given with no reference as
to whether they represent cases removed to
hospitals.
Again, they are given for "yesterday"
and then "since noon," all of which is very
confusing and makes t is imposible to de
cide whether ths disease is increasing or
decreasing. This may be the object of the
officers in suppressing the figures, or may
be due to confusion, which has signalized
their actions since cholera was epidemic. It
may be said that it is very generally be
lieved that the number of njw cases and
deaths is larger than the official figures
place it at

. Bedford, Pa., Sept ft .Special:
About two weeks ago H. C. Frick and other
prominent Pittsburgers who were stock
holders in the famous Bedford Springs
property sold their stock to George B. Hill,
of Pittsburg, for a party of Eastern capital
ists, whose intention it is to expend about
$200,000 on improvements and to make Bed
ford second to no other watering resort in
the country.
.A Dispatch correspondent met a gen
tleman at the Springs this morning whose
name has been coupled with the deal, bnt
who for the present does not desire
his name shall be made public, and
asked what the new deal meant
He said the gentlemen who have
recently bought up the springs stock held
by Pittsburgers intend, beside improving
the old hotel, to build on the hill back of
the place where the old hotel stands one of
the finest hotels in the country, to have a
capacity of 800 to 1,000. This hotel will be
run independent of the old bouse, and the
accommodations can be depended upon to
be gilt-edged. The rates at this house will
be $5 and upward, while the old house,
which is to be enlarged, will be run as here
tofore. .
Railroad accommodations will be secured
so that Pittsburgers can reach here in mx
hours instead ot 12. This is to be brought
about by putting on another express tram,
to leave Huntingdon on the arrival of tbe
day express on the Pennsylvania road. Be
side this an electrio railway will be com
pleted from the station to the springs by
the opening ot next season, and instead of
Bedford entertaining 1,000 strangers, inside
of two years there will be 5,000 sipping her
famous waters.

Issues Not to Be Multiplied - by the
Republican Party.
Augusta, Me., Sept 6. The following
letter from Hon James G. Blaine to Chair
man Manley, of the Republican State Com
mittee was made public to-night:
Bak Haeboe, Me., Sept 3, 1892.
Hon. Joseph H. Manley, Chairman, etc., Antcutta,
Me.: ,
My Deae Sie: Not being able,for reasons
which I have explained to you, to deliver
public speeches in this present campaign, I
take tbe liberty of submitting my views on
the issues which I regard as being strongest
for the Republicans to urge before the
people.
First lhe issue of the greatest conse
quence is the tariff on imports, and it will
continue to be nntil a settlement is effected
by a majority so large that it will bo tanta
mount to general acquiescence. The Repub
licans arc aggressive on this subject Two
years ago they passed a general enactment
known as the McKinly tariff, which for a
time tailed to meetwith popular approval
and was regarded with a certain degree of
distrust by those who had always upheld
the protective system. . But a powerful re
action has come in conseqnence of the
vindication of the MoKinley tariff by exper
ience. It' is found to have
worked admirably, and within the last year
has produced a greater volume of business,
internal and 'external, export and import,
than the United States ever transacted
before. Notwithstanding the character and
extent of the opposition to it, agaiculture is
remunerative, thanufactures are prosperous,
and commerce is more flourishing than at
any previous time thus vindicating- the
McKinley 'tariff by an impressive and un
deniable, series of facts.
Tbe Democratic Stand Without Parallel.
Against this tariff the Democratic party
has taken a position almost without parallel
in the history of the country. They reject
entirely the doctrine of protection,
pronounce it a frand, and anathem
atize it generally. A resolution to this
effect was adopted by the Democratio con
vention against the report of the Committee
on Resolutions by a two-thirds vote, thus
manifesting the intelligent participation of
every man in the convention. Some
times a resolution may be adopted in haste,
or just when the convention is adjourning
it may fail to receive the attention of
the members; but this resolution was de
bated pro and con, adopted after a contest,
and was perfectly understood by the mem
bers of the convention. It contained these
words. "We denounce the Republican pro
tection as a fraud upon the labor of the
great majority ot the American people for
the benefit 'of a few. "We declare it a funda
mental principle of the Democratio party
that the Federal Government has no consti
tutional power to impose and collect tariff
duties, except for the purpose of revenue
only. "We demand that the collection of
such taxes be limited to the necessities of
the Government when honestly and econom
ically administered."
If anyone will take the trouble to read
the resolutions by which Mr. Calhoun
sought to defend his nullification scheme in
1833, he will find the tariff platform of the
Democratio1 party in general harmony there
with, and if he examines the subject further
he will discover that the duties in the cord
promise tariff which reconciled Mr. Calhoun
and appeased bis angry followers in South
Carolina were of a more comprehensive
character than those contemplated in the
Democratic resolution of 1892.
Jeflerson Abandoned bv His Party.
The Democrats are in the habit of naming
Jefferson as the founder of their party;-and
yet, on the subject of tariff, they are in radi
cal opposition to the principles laid down by
Jeuerson. xowara tne ciose oi nis admin
istration the revenue tariff on imports pro
duced a considerable surplus, and the ques
tion was what should be done; should the
tariff be reducedr should this surplus be
maintained? Jefferson pointedly aAed:
"Shall w suppress the Imposts and give
that advantage to foreign over domestic
manufacturers?" For himself he recom
mended that tbe imposts be maintained, and
that the surplus created "should be appro
priated to tne improvement oi ro&as, canals,
rivers and education."
It the constitution did not give sufficient
power to warrant these appropriations,
Jefferson went so far as to recommend that
it be amended. This presents the strongest
condition of affairs upon which n pro
tective tariff can be justified, and Jefferson
did not hesitate to .recommend it The
D emograts of the present day, it is need
less to say, are indirect opponents of the
policy which Jefferson thus outlined and
adberad to.
Be'nefits of the Reciprocal System.
Second When the principle of reciprocal
trade was first proposed to be introduced
into the tariff system, the Democrats showed
a most generous appreciation of the ques
tion, and ?ave -it their support so long as
Republicans refused to accept it, but when
the Republicans came to approvo it the
Democratio support vanished, and instead
oi favoring, we find the Democratic Na
tional Convention passing a resolution hos
tile to the system. But in spite ot Demo
cratic opposition we have attained, through
reciprocity, a new and valuable trade, and
the system has demonstrated its many ad
vantages. We were about to declare sugar,
molasses, coffee and hides free of all duties,
in the McKinley bill, but instead of that
we passed a law by which we asked the
-several nation! interested what they would
give to have those articles made free We
found tbat the privileges which we were
about to give without cost apd without

Blessings I a Rational Currency.
Third Withll"its calamities the war
brought ns one great blessing national
currency. Thereare many who will say
that it was worth, the cost of the war to
bring about so auspicious a re.sult to cap
ital and labor. Prior to the war we bad the
worst currency system of any enlightened
nation in the world. The State banks, with
some exceptions were thoroughly irrespon
sible. They existed by thousands through
out the United States. Whenever one of
them failed, the result was a large loss and
great distress among -the people. No one
was responsible for their bills, and they
were generally found scattered in the pock
ets ot tbe laboring man, to whom they were
a total loss, without any redemption what
ever. With the State banks it was often and
truly said that their debts were the meas
ure of their profits. They have caused an
aggregate loss of hundreds of millions of
dollars among the poor. Since the. close, of
the war all this is different Every paper
dollar that circulates among the people has
the United States behind it as guarantee
All the banks that exist arc under the con
trol of the national Governroent,and if they
fail as financial institutions the Govern
ment has taken care that their bills shall
be paid by securities deposited in Govern
ment vaults. x
Only Three Issues in the Campaign.
Under these circumstances it is a matter
for extraordinary surprise that the Demo
cratic convention should deliberately pass
resolutions for the revival of State banks.
The palpable effect of this policy, if carried
out, would be to cheat the poor man oat of
his daily bread. If State banks be adopted
and their circulation attain a large issue,
no device could be more deadly for the de
ception and despoilment of all the com
mercial and laboring classes. How the
Democratic convention came to make such
a declaration, who was its author,
what intelligent purpose was in it, wili
remain a mystery. I have heard the argu
ment adduced tbat we would keep the
money at home if State banks werp insti
tuted; but we should keep it at home be
cause it would be so worthless that nobody
would take it abroad. Were the system of
State banks revived we would again have
discounts at the State lines, large charges
for drafts on financial centers, and general
suspicion of every bill offered in payment,
with a liquidation every few years tbat
would be a destructive loss to the Innocent
holders of bills and a corresponding profit
to the parties owning the banks.
The three issues which I have given are
the issues on which I would arraign the
Democratic party. I would not multiply
issues nor be diverted by our opponents
from a steadfast adherence to and constant
presentation of these questions before the
people until every voter is made to know
and understand their true and weighty sig
nificance. rYery sincerely yours,
James G. Beaiite.

Battle With the Police Shot by tha
Officer He Had Mortally Wounded. '
Chicago, Sept 6. Two dead men, one of
them a millionaire, one man mortally
wounded, and an open question as- to
whether Chicago's Mayor or its Chief of
Police is a willful perjurer are to-day's re
sults of the attempt to close the Garfield
Park race track. The dead men are James
M. Brown, of Ft Worth, Tex., a prominent
Western turfman, shot through the right
breast and lower portion of the face, and
John Powell, police officer, shot through
the mouth. Mortally wounded: Henry
McDowell, police officer, shot in the ab
domen. Both officers'fell before Brown's revol
ver, one being instantly killed, the other
being mortally wounded. Who killed
Brown is not exactly known. Nobody saw
the actual killing of Powell and McDowell,
and when Brown was slain a dozen officers
were firing at him, including McDowell,
who, notwithstanding the fact that his life '
was ebbing fast, raised himself upon his el
bow and fired repeatedly at the man who
bad laid him low.
The Police Rihl the Track.
' It was shortly after 3 o'clock when the
police, commanded by Inspector Lewis, ap
peared at the gates to make a third raid
upou the park, in obedience to warrants
taken out by "Thomas Winsor. There "was
no delay in gaming admittance and seven
wagon loads of officers rolled rapidly down
the track toward the grand stand. A panic
seized the people in the grand stand at the
sight of the blue coats, and men and women
made wild breaks for liberty. The police
paid no attention to the fleeing spectators,
but quickly surrounded the betting nng
and the Judges' stand.
All the officials of the track who could be
found were quickly placed under arrest, and
a detachment'of officers was then sent to the
stables to gather in the grooms and jockeys.
They had for the most part taken the alarm
and escaped. Attention was then turned to
the people, who scampered over the grounds,
singly and in numerous squads, making
their way toward the exits. Only one man,
who was too fat to run, was captured, and
another move was made toward the stables.
As the officers approached J. M. Brown,
the wealthy turf man, owner of Bobby
Beach, G. W. Johnson, tne sensational 2-
year-old, and other first-class horses, was
standing upon the roof of one of the stables,
watching the police pursue the people.
With him stood Bob Bice, another well
known racing man.
Would Kill or lie Kille;!.
Brown had repeatedly said during the
former raids on the Park that he would al
low no man to arrest him, as long as he had
not violated the law, and if a policeman at
tempted it he would kill or be killed before
he was dragged to tbe police station, Powell
and McDowell approached the shed, and the
former hailed Brown; pleasantlyaskinghim
to come down.
"Whit for?" said Brown.
"So that I can errest you," replied
Powell.
'Twill not come down and I'll not be ar
rested," said Brown curtly, at the same
time tossing a few pebbles from the stable's
gravel roof upon Powell's head.
The officer then ran around to the rear of ,
the barn and placing a board against the
wall quickly clambered up to the roof and
advanced toward Brown. Officer McDowell
had by this time passed on and Brown
sprang to the ground and walked rapidly
toward a gate opening from the grounds
upon Fortieth street Powell followed
closely after him and Brown began to run,
paying no attention to the repeated calls of
Powell that unless he halted he would be
fired upon.
As no attention was paid to him, Powell
drew his revolver and sent a bullet whizzing
through the air just over Brown bead.
That was enough. Brown instantly wheeled
around; his revolver flashed in the sunlight;
he fired and Powell fell forward on his face,
dead. He came down as though struck by
a thunderbolt, .and not a movement of his
limbs showed that he had known what had
happened to him. Without placing his re
volver in his pocket, Brown fled rapidly
along Fortieth street
A Desperate Fljht to the Death.
McDowell, hearing the shot, had ran out
of the gate and seeing the form of his com
panion lying prostrate In the dusty street
and the form of Brown going rapidly np
the street, at once started in pursuit He
was a strong, athletio fellow, and he gained
upon Brown in away that convinced the
fugitive thatif he continued in the open
street it meant his capture or a fight for his
life. He darted into a yard and around an
unfinished house.
McDowell was but a few seconds behind
him, and instead of following Brown, he '
turned aronnd the honse in the opposite di
rection, and the two men came face to face,
in a narrow passage way between the honse
