Mr. Finegan entered tan saloon fol

No words were exchanged that were
heard by nny one present, end it was

Unable to Find Him tn the

Detectives Smith and Dare went to
work on the cam aa soon aa it waa re
ported and learned thai the man who
committed the asaautt was. Kay Wilson.
Wilson ie a professional gnmbler and
lived in this city four or five years ago.
His home ie tn Chicago, and it is
thought by tne officers that he took
one of the lata trains for that city.
Wilson bad bean in the city during the
races, and it waa reported that ha
and Finegan had some trouble nt
the racetrack yeeterday . Finegan waa
doing doty at the racetrack yeeterday
as a deputy sheriff .and Wilson scaled the
fence in order to gain admission to the
grounds. Finegan led him out through
the gate and Wilson was incensed at
being ptii out. Wilson is described aa
being 30 'jt 35 years old, five feet eight
or nine lochee tall, weight, 180 pounds,
light or. medium complexion, with
light auatache, stoop shouldered.
Ha vrure a brown suit of
clothes and brown derby hat,
and haa a deep dimple in his chin. He
carried a heavy cane which bad a large
silver head. The officers telegraphed
this decsription to the conductors on
the outgoing trains and to officers at
various points.
IT WAS UNPROVOKED.
Mr.
Pinnewan Waa Acting as
Peace-
maker When Struck.
John P. Finnegan haa lived in Grand
Rapids from boyhood op. He is a
graduate of the high school and was
early recognised aa a young man of
talent and promising natural gilts. He
waa considered iu fact precocious in
his mental attainments. He waa for a
number of years in the office of White
A Fiant, lumber dealers. No. 228 Canal
street. Last winter he wae appointed
milk inspector by the common council
an office which has since been
abolished. During the past week he
acted in the capacity of a deputy
sheriff nl Comstock Park, and had
charge 01 the quarter stretch gate un
der the judges' stand. He is not a
drinking man and is marked for his
affable and gentlemanly deportment.
Tbe story of the assault, as told by
eye-Witneeses, place him in toe position
of anting aa peacemaker in a wrdy
conflict, in which be was not, strictlv
spanking, interested, and the attack
upon him was brutal and unprovoked.
Mr. Finegan wae in the Morton house
early in the evening and chatted pleas
antly and jocularly with his acquaint
ances and friends. He alluded to the
horse raeetinc and admitted that ha
bad had a trying shns us the gate at
the quarter stretch. Roferring in
directly to the fact that it was un
pleasant to be obliged to refuse pas
sage to the track to nervous who had
no creden.ials or recognized right to go
there. He left the hotel with a friend,
saving that he was glad the races were
over, was tired and going home early.
CF.AROXO WITH BIO FRAUDS.
Corruption Alleged In Township Govern
ment in Indiana.
Ikdiakapous, Ang. 13. The Journal
this morning prints a page charging
corruption in township government in
Indiana, Shelby county being tbe center
of the sllered fraudulent transactions.
Tbe paper declares that George M. Kay
of Sbelbyville, by selling supplies for
ten times their value and by
issuing bogus paper, has profited
many thousands of dollars; that$3o,000
in bogus paper has already turned up,
and much more will come to light.
The Journal says that in many town
ships there are traces of rottenness, but
the bulk of it is confined to four town
ships, Cniou. Washington, Liberty and
Hendricks. Tbo paper charges that
Ray has been guilty of the scheme
practiced by Pollard some years ago,
whereby the state was drfrnu ded Salt
of about f7.S0.00O and the population ot
Canada materially increased.

Temble Suffering of the Mexican Popu

Havana, Tex., Aug. 1". The suffer
ing among the laboring class of tbe
Mexican population 00 both sides of
tne Rio (irande is appall. ug. Many
families hove been living for days on
cactus plant and mespiite beans.
Many children have died ot fever and
biliousness. The relief committee is
sues four pounds of corn to each per
son a week merely enough to keep
the life in their todies. A good rain
fail haa within the Isst week swollen
the river so thai it is in many places
over ite hanks, but the water comes
loo late to be avatleble for tbie year's
crops. Clothing, too, is badly needed.
In some eases whole families go about
entirely nude, and when cold northers
come the suffering will be great.

FROM O'ER THE SEA
Gladstone Will Be Premier in
Earnest.
HIS FIRMNESS UNDERSTOOD
He DiSeta Frees Salisbury in Many
Points Ptunkett
a Ripple.
Lovnoir, Aug. IS. The new cabinet
and other official appointments yet to
be made are the sola topics of conven
tion. Contrary to the view advanced
by some newspapers, Mr. Gladstone
will be premier in all that the term
implies. Hs will control the policy of
the cabinet at horns and abroad, and
every member of the cabinet will be in
thorough accord with the chief. The
idea conveyed by Jossph Chamberlain
in his virulent attack on Messrs. Glad
stone and Morly, to tbe effect that Mr.
Gladstone would select Lord Koseberry
to take charge of foreign affairs, if his
own views differed from Lord Rose
berry's, hss exerted both indignation
and surprise in liberal circles. It is well
known to all who have followed
Mr. Gladstone and his career that
while he is not a jingo, he is
thoroughly a believer in maintaining
tbe integrity of the British empire, and
that Lord Salisbury himself would not
be more resolute, on occasion in repell
ing foreign aggression. This Mr. Glad
stone showed in 1885 when he gave
the Russians notice tbat they would re
tire from tbe gates of Herat and sus
tained the warning with military and
naval preparations that Rnssia could
not misunderstand. Whatever unfa
vorable impression tbe Czar may have
had regarding Mr. Gladstone up to that
time is well known to have been
effaced. The Czar cannot be said to
be on friendly terms with Mr. Glad
stone today and this Mr. Gladstone
himself has stated. Mr. Gladstone's
foreign policy differs from thai of
Lord Salisbury in that Mr. Gladstone
believes in a strict adherence to treat
ies and pledges and he does not be
have in crushing and bullying any lit
tle state that may tempt England's
cupidity.
Uteeatoa vs. Salisbury.
Mr. Gladstone would not have an
nexed Bnnnab, or have placed a price
upon the hand of the Sultan of Witu
and he is randy tq fulfill scrupulously
and to the letter the obligations ot
England in Egypt and elsewhere. Mr.
Gladstone does not recognise that
Great Britain should take any part in
the struggles and rivalry ot continental
powers unless Great Britain is directly
menaced or assailed by one or the
other of tbe contending parties. In
this respect Mr. Gladstone differs
radically from Lord Salisbury, who
shaped the course of Englsnd in con
tinental affairs as if England waa a
fourth member of the triple alliance
and bound to sustain Germany,
Italy and Australia against France
and RnssSa. ShsasM war break
out between Germany and France, or
between France and Russia on one side
and the powers of the triple alliance
on the otner. Great Britain with Glad
stone as premier, would not interfere
as long as tbe combatants would re
spect the rights and interests of Great
Britain. In brief. Mr. Gladstone will
not go about with menace on his brow
and challenge in his tone, giving for
eign nations to understand that Eng
land is rather anxious for a pretext to
Sunish those who may get in her way.
r. Gladstone will adopt a strong, but
not an aggressive, foreign policy. Such
is Mr. Gladstone's position, so far as tbo
world outside of the British Empire is
concerned, as set forth by a prominent
liberal, who has long been his intimate
associate and will probably be m his
cabinet.
Fleakctt Creates Trouble.
There is considerable indignation
here over tbe evidence that Sir F. R.
Plunkett, the British minister to the
court of Stockholm, has been interfer
ing in tbe domestic affairs of Norway
and Sweden. Whether Lord Salisbury
gave a hint to Plunkett to try to intim
idate the Norwegians into giving up
their agitation for separate diplomatic,
and consular representation abroad if
not KiiOvn, nut it is generally assumed
that Plunkett diil not net without any
intimation from tbe foreign office. Sal
isbury has been anxious about tbe
Norwegian demand for extended au
tonomy, as he has feared that Norway
with its vast coast line, might
fall under the power of Rus
sia, while a united Scandinavia
would be a formidable bulwark against
Kussia. The Norwegians, altboug com
paratively insignificant 'in numbers, are
not willing to he dictated to by Sweden,
even with England at Sweden' hack
and Sir F. K. I'lunkett's veiled threats
may have the effect of inflaming in
stead of pacifying the existing agita
tion. IVnONi f Royalty.
The empeior of fiermany haa given

who managed for him
tbe recent compromise with the Duke
of Cumberland as to the Ouelph fund
and the Ifaoorerion throne. n the
mat of the picture the emperor wrote
'The right remains ever the right."
During bis abort reign the emperor has
given away sixty pictures of himself

years he sat on the throne f Cnited

Thompson, Conn., Aug. 13. Judge
Walter Q. Grasham and his wife have
been the gogsts of J. W. Doane of
Thompson slice last Wednesday. This
afternoon Judge Greshsan made tbe
statement to a reporter tbat be would
deliver no speeches during the cam
paign. He was queationed concerning
the statement given the press recently
by Chairman Taubeneck of the peo
ples party al St. Louis to the effect
tbat he had concluded to take
the stump in tbe interest of tbe
third part, and would make an open
ing speech at Indianapolis tbe latter
part of tia . month. Taubeneck
claimed to ksivo received this informa
tion from Gshrge C. Stoll, chairman of
ths state central committee of Indiana,
to whom it was alleged Judge Gresbam
had written. Tbo judge said lbs
statement was made without author
ity; that he would make no political
speeches during tbe campaign. The
judge was asked to give his views on
the political outlook, but answered
thai he did not wish to discuss lbs
subject.
When asked concerning the truth of
the Indianapolis special to a Boston
paper, ttwfa4Sr. Stoll claimed that
Judge Greeham would take tne stump.
Judge Gresbam replied tbat he bad
not known Mr. Stoii. and bad no com
munication or correspondence with
him, and tbat his first answer
covered his reply as to tbe con
tents of the Indianapolis dis
patch. He declined to discuss
the platform and principles of
the people's party. When asked what
be bad to say, if anything, as to tbe
reasons given to Indianapolis republi
cans why he could not antagonize the
republican party, he replied tbat as an
American citizen he considered his
duty to vote according to his convic
tions and tbat be owed no slavish
obedience to any party. He said be
intended to return to Chicago in a day
or two.

END OF THE SPOBT
The Great Race Meeting it
Finished
WITH A WORLD'S RECORD
For the Fastest Avenge Heats Bear
Trotted in One Day Over s Regu
lation Track The Weansea,
With another lovely day and a fsir
last day audience the races yeeterday
closed ths program of a wash's racing
which completely overshadows any
thing of the kind svsr known in turf
history. For genuine contests, groat
fields snd fast time ths record of Ibis
wash must be inscribed on an illumined
page. Nearly every heal winner has
been forced to a new mark. Ths exhi
bitions have bean pleasing, and lbs
numerous fsst miles furnish incontro
vertible evidence of the superiority of
ths track and give color to the claim
that it is ths fastest regulation track in
the world. A world's race record was
equaled today by Martha Wilkes, wbo
trotted tbs first heat of tbe 2:15 race in
2:12, tying Nsncy Hanks' record made
at Independence in her race with Al
lerton and Margarets, and Delmarch's,
made at Cambridge City, when he de
feated Walter E, Henrietta, Dandy
Jim and Aline. The character of ths
races today may be determined by a
simp's computation, which will show
an average of heats below that of any
day's racing ever known. Tbe nine
beats averaged 2. 13$, a faster average
by a full second than the record for tbe
same number of beats in a single day.
The attendance at tbe races all the
week, while fairly good, was not what
the high class program should have
called out, as such a meeting just
closed advertises the city more than a
million dollars invested in any manu
facturing industry.
BELLE VARA WINS THE s:ss.
The Michigan Mare Takes the Race in
Three Straight Heats.
Belle Vara was s great favorite in ths
twenty-three trot, the talent basing
their choice upon the wonderful per
formances of tbe mare at Cleveland
and Buffalo. Paragon had a following,
who remembered the good showing he
ruado lsst week si Hturgis. The field
end was not wanted by the knowing
ones st any price. The race was a
sharp one, but Belle Vara bad the foot
of the party and as Paragon waa off
and bad the thumps after the first heat
ahe was not troubled to win, though
she did have to go three heats in 2:15$
or better to beat the great gelding.
Belle Vara is owned by S. A. Browne A
Co. of Kalamasoo, as is the colt Vaasar.
who went such a creditable race with
Directum Friday and who is a full
brother to tbe great mare.

Tbo pacing race was another go at

Tbe favorite was the grey Tennessee
stallion. Guy, driven by McHenry.
Major Wonder. Roy Wilkes snd Rupee
made tbe field. In the first heat Roy
Wilkes took the lead at the first turn
and led well into the stretch, where his
erratic owner, who had the mount,
stopped driving, thinking the heat was
won, and McHenry rushed up with
Guy and beat him out too easy to
mention, in 2:10$. Guy, hsving the
pole in the next heat, had the best of
it, but Geers having taken Davis' place
behind Roy Wilkei, kept him very
busy to the distance where tbe brown
stallion coughed it up, and Major
Wonder rushed up the center of tbe
stretch and came within a nose of win
ning the heat under tbe wire in 2:11.
In what proved to be the final heat
Maipr Wonder wen. lapped on Guy all
theVray to the distance where the grey
stallion gradually drew away and won
by an open longih in 2:12, one of the
fast pacing races on record.

The long looked for race between
Martha Wilkes aud Honest George
came off and. as was expected, there
was trotting when this mighty pair
met. and the world's race record was
equalled in the first heat. The heat
was one of the most determined eon
tests imaginable, but the great Buffalo
gelding could never head tbe Mas
sachusetts mare, snd she won with a
length to spare, in 2 12 flat Oeera
knew that his horse was dead game and
he continued the fight to tbe finish of
the last heat in tbe hope of finding a
soft spot in ths msre hut if she is not
game t the core Honest treorge could
not mske her go fast enough to give
herself away. The winner is the great
