GREW TO A HOWL.
"When the big procession reached the place
where refreshments were to le acrxed It
was discovered that there were but three
wallers lu attendance; and a murmur
started. It quickly grew to a howl. A
dozen or more of the Baltimore wbcelm6ii
started to aid the waiters, and there hclred

howccr, while admitting that the crowd
was too big to handle expeditiously, de-,
ehireil there was enough for all.
There was a grabbing of food from the
tables, loaves of bread were broken in half.
and fl.h, fowls or strawberries helped to
make sandv, iches. Ice cream freezers ere
unofficially opened, and plates, cutis and
forks were use-d to dish out the sweetness.

wentto hotels and restaurants.
Many of the visitors tried to stop others in
their onslaught ou the supplies, aud finding
it useless, they left the grounds. By 3
o'clock not a dozen of tho Washington boys
were left on the BhorC.
The Fulton Wheelmen were very much
chagriucl about the affair. The entire

caterer having but three waiters present.

Capt. Wilkinson, of the Clifton Wheel
men, Baltimore, said yesterday: "I think
it would have been better had our Balti
more clubs been arranged with to dnide
up the visitors into squads, so that.each of
our clubs could take Its guests to some
appointed place. The Chitons had forty
two men in line. We escorted the Key
stone and Eagle Club members.
"When the 'circus' began at Long Branch
aome of us escorted our division to a rcad
iiousc, where, we all had dinner. I Ihink
that much of tie trouble could have been
avoided had not Chief Marshal Henshaw.of
Washington, permitted his diss.it! sfaction to
take its decided form of speech. Some one
a-ked htm Jocularly If he was stumpiuglhe
county. I think the Fulton boys did alltLcy
could, and had they beca given a little tlmo
there would have Leen no caue for com
complamt. "The crowd was twice the size the Ful
toas were led to expect, and you cannot
manage affairs down on a river shore on
a Sunday very expeditiously. The fact that
Jiere were but three waiters there would
not have proven serious, as any of our
bovs would have helped to wait on the
visitors.
"I think the Washington boys were not
use J to Tiding over the rough stones, sncli
as they encountered on Eutaw street, and
then the Eutaw Plies hill haltoba climbed,
all of which is appetizing, if not so pleas
ant as wheeling over Washington's smooth
streets. Something made them hungry, as
anyone will acknowledge wliasaw them at
Long Branch."
nE FEELS SORRY.
J. W. Ogler, captain of the Fultoua and
chairman of the Baltimore committee of
arrangements, said last night: "Like all
the members of our club, 1 am very sorry
about this a rf air. We -are comparatively a

Larrlmnre saying he had sold 150 tickets

he bad the food ready. Tills morning I got
a telegram from Mr.Larrlmorc, saying that

underestimated, but Mr. Larriinore could
not liine that It was going to be so

Mr. W. T. Robertson, representative here
of the WheelinC-ii's'League, said be really
didn't know whether the dinner at Balti
more was satisfactory or not. Mr. W. II.
Henshawof the Crown lunch-room could
tell.
Mr. Heiiihaw was very busy, but said:
"We fell into('jlie wrong hands in Balti

that there w oulil be about 400 of us over.

Mil. LARRIMORE'S EXPLANATION.
Mr. W. K. Larriinore, of "Parker, Bridget
Co., made five trips to Baltimore in
order to be sure his associates would be
well entertalnod. He said: "When I was
first over there I went out to see the
Good Hope clubhouse, and had about Je-
-eidcJ that was the place to go: but later
a committee or five of the Fulton Cycle
Club came to me and Baid they bad
exclusive control of the Long Branch
Park, it was a line place, and they would
see we had a good .time.
"I thought It, wonld be better to put
ourselvcsln charge qta club and have ct
crowd where eerytiiing would be under
our own control. I rcrcrted here and we
agreed to go to the Long Branch Park.
"On Friday I wired them we bad ISO
tkket3 sold and they might expect 300.
On Saturday noon I .wired that we had
COO tickets sold and Saturday night. COO.

' ''When I got there I meta number of Ful
ton Club boys, and they said everything was
ready and lii 6oodabape, I replied it
would lie no use for me to ride over to tho
pars", and I would get ready to meet our
folks on the train.
"Every thing was well handled by the rail
road and I felt good., We stretched out oa
the run to the grounds. Around the lake a
mile an'd a hair, our line made a complete
circuit. lackliigabouta hundred yards. The
run was a little warm and dnsty. and we
were tired and jeady"for dinner when we
got In.
"Instead of the proper -preparations,
there were no tables 'under the trees, as
expected, and while there was an abund
ance of good food, there were only three
wallers to serve it, and only one cook
stove.
"We saw right away there was a balk,
aud told those who, were waiting if trey
preferred they could go to the nearest
club-house or io Ihecity, and their money
would be refunded.

and to resemble old paper. This will has
undoubtedly been Ironed."
"Will iou tell about the severance of the
lower third from the rest of the paper of
the will!"
"I think It has been cut off with some
sharp instrument. In my opinion, It could
never hae been torn."
The expert then testified at length con
cerning the Ink used in the mysterious
paper. He talked freely of the manners,
old and new, of the manufacture of Ink,
and concluded by saying:: "I have made
only a microscopical examination of the Ink
on the paper, bat it Is my conclusion that
thcUnk in the will differs In lu character
istics from any inks I have ever examined
that were used at the time the paper Is
supposed to have lieen written."
A CHEMICAL TEST.
A half hour's recess was taken at 12.30
o'clock and when ccurt re-convened the
subjcctorink was again taken up.
"We wan t this witness to ma ke a chemical
test lieforo court and Jury," said Mr.
Worthington, "on some word in the letter.
If this paiier, as I understand Prof. Car
valho. is written In India Ink the nction of
the chemical will hae no effect on the
coloring. If it is an Ink with Iron in it it
will readily show disintegration."
Mr. Darlington and his associates object
ed, but arter several explanations by law
yers and experistlicygaveln. Judge Brad
ley authorized the test on any word coun
sel might agree upon.
"Berore that we want to know what chem
ical Is to be used." said Mr. Lee.
"It Is muriate of tin," the witness re
sponded. The word "of In the thirteenth line of
the paper, between the words "Luke Dev-
Jn" and "Washington," was agreed upon
is the lest word
A drop of (he add was- iwnred upon it
and jury nnd court and lawyers waited.
Then the sensation of the trial was
sprung. The exicrt took up the paper
after the chemical had operated for two
and one-half minutes and looked at it
carefully through his glass.
"In my Judgment," he began slowly,
"that is a loaded Ink. It is leaded with
'archil' a chemical. This Is a characteristic
of Arnold's writing fluids, and he has been
using it in their manufacture for the last
ten year."
"How aliout licfo're that t!s:c,""inquired
Mr. Worthington.
"It was not used by him."
"Was it used in any inks over ten years
ago?"
'80 far as I canlcarn.it was not."
"Was 'archil' used in Inks in 1S73?"
Mr. Darlington objected, saying the wit
ness speaks from information alone.
"I speak from the experience T have had.
and that is as much as any man in the coun
try." answered the professor.
"What, then, is jour conclusion?" asked

No matter bow dull It is in Wall Street,

ror some weeks. The papers and market
letters have been rilled with advices to
"BOlVln our letters (we seldomadvertise
advice now, so much compcUtion) we were
the only ones whlcb advised against a
boom la wheat, on the day it first broke
to 58. We tent a letter to all clients and
advertised offering to send it free to the
public, telling how thoe who were "Long"
could save themselves from loss and moke
profits.
Weadvised the purchase or a"SPREAD"
good till June 6. The cost r0r 10,000
bushels both sides wa-s $22.50. Many
followed our advice. Result we bought
Puts at 50 1-2, Calls at 58 1-2, good
un'H yesterday The Puts protected all
wheat held, so that no rurtber loss could
be Incurred. Wlieat was also bought at
53 1.2 without margin or risk. Sold out
Saturday at a profit of over six hundred
dollars for an Investment of eleven dollars.
The Calls at 5S 1-2 were also called and
the wheat sold, profit over three hundred
dollars, making $1,000 profit for $22.50
Invested.
Those who were "LOXG'' or wheat
were able to hold or get all there money
back and big profit besides.
