It Is a big total fn r bolli. For Ireland It means a much needed and most successful stimulus to one or tlie movl valuable of Irish agri cultural industries. To a vast number of farniersltisthehorsc.aud nottheplg, that pays the rent; and in horse-breeding there ts room for the largest profit In return for skill and care. To Dublin the horse show gives one week of real metropolitan life andactlvily. It ieanannual awaking from apathy. While the chow lasts it is the center at once of business and fa.shion. The streets are thronged with traffic and the shops with purchasers. Dublin could de sire nothing better than fifty-two repe titions of horse show week every year. It will be a big task to beat Ibis year's record next year, but there Is no ground for despair." tl0 W3ms if iirfPm I fi-il M ;2a BB .il3 12M w Speak $i H Quick I H MOSS IS PEBS0N1 GUM Judge Kimball Accepted an Apol ogy and Revoked the Fine. TWO UNWILLING FIGHTERS One Sutd lie Wns Mnde to Scrap, II W . Botli .AVt'iit Down for Brief Terms. Mnld on I'olleo Court Loafers Crop Wiik tlie Cuii!e of the Downfnll of John lVli.i'. When Judge Kimball took his seat this morning and the clerk had commanded quiet in the court-room, Lawjer Moss stepped In front of the bench, anil, after de positing an armful it books on the table, attracted the Judge's attention and said: "Your honor, hi regard to what occurred here yeeterday between your honor and mjeelf, I wish to make a personal ex planation. "Iu my zeal for the prisoners I was de fending, I made use of the expression "de fiant," which, I .'issure you, was not meant to apply to the curt. I defied any one to find e iileace Which would personally and individually apply to my clients." Mr. Moss then explained to the court that lie l).ifKl his remarks on section Am of Lovejoy'a Revision "Lovejoy's Sub division," as Willi a slip or tLe tongue, the attorney firrt said: AX IIUMIILE APOLOGY. "For my other remark, I humbly apolo gize. I should not bae said, as I no ticed in the papers, that I would sit down when I got ready. That wac an Improper remark." continued the l.iwjer. "Ana It was lor that remark that you were fined, Mr. Mos," said his honor. "liut I accept your apology and am gild to hear thei.e remarks. I will set aside jour fine and order the money relumed to ou." 'I hi, ended the intercs-ting episode that threatened jeMerd.iy to ilMurb the equili brium of both court and counsel for some time to come. "Call the flrirt case," said his honor, anxious evidently to bring the scene to a clote, and John Wise, a colored man, about thirty years old, with a face full of sears that would make the breast of a German student swell ivlth pride, was culled up and charged with disorderly conduct. Officer Koberts was the"offendlng"guard of tlie peace, for according to nine-tenths of the statements mnde by the prisoners theoff leers ureal waytheof fending parties. HE MO.VKKYr.U WITH CRAP. John had been mixed up in a crap game, according to the policeman. Acitudlng to John, he jut stepped up to the edge of the crowd as the officer got there. He could not exactly explain how he came to nave some dice In his hand, as Mr. Roberts gr.ibb.M him. audforttiismisslngllnk In his stors' he got fifteen days. lleuaniln Wallace and William bright, two colored boys, went down In an alley to have It out. "Well, jou went down In that nlley to fight, didn't you?"' was asked of Ileiijamln. "Yes. sir," he meekly replied. "And jou had your fight, didn't you?" "Yc, Mr; we fit." Uenjaiulu on ore that he didn't -want to fight and was Just "driven and dragged" around that corner and made to fight. Wallace told the anje story. How they both lame together under thee circum stances wns difficult to understand, hut Ills honor thought them both guilty and they went down for fifteen days. Officer Flynn, the police court's guar dian angel, then brought In the quite re spectable looking colored men whom he had arreted for congregating on the side- walk In front of the court house, which is against a rule of the court. LIXTUUED JJV THE COURT. Mr. I'lyii-.i told the court he had a great deal of trouble this morning, and that he had warned these men to move on several times without effect. An army of counel steprxsl up as the case was called, and after hearing coun sels' remarks, which were mixed up with flattery and condemnation of Mr. Flynn's watchfulness, the Judge let the men off with a lectnreabout loaring in front ofthc court. Emma Tennan and. Louise Tjler, two du'ky damsels of llioodrield. were brought up for 1-eing drank and disorderly. Emma blamed Louise, und Louise said that Emma caused nil the trouble. TliroffkercUlmmlthnt they both made o much noise "he couldn't hear himself think." aud in order that the officer of the law should not again be disturbed In hts quiet meditations, his honor fined them the usual amount. .SENTENCED FOR ASSAULT. Y'illiam Kenny wns in the police coutt this morning on two charges of assault, against Policeman Jake Kinnaman and a joqng man named .Sullivan. It was alleged in the Sullivan case that the plaintiff was walking down Twenty eighth street in Georgetown last eening when Kenny approached him with an oath and dealt him a severe blow In the face. A stick was also used by the prisoner and Sullivan exhibited cuts and bruises due to tlie bl'iws to the scrutiny of the court. "I ran up Twenty eighth street, stated Sullivan, "and told Officer Kinnaman of the assault. The policeman went luck with me, because I was afraid of tlie Red Bill gang of which this man Is a member, and sevrral of the gang were on the corner. "Kinnaman attempted to arrest Kenny, b'lt the latter turned on him and choked and assaulted him." Tlie policeman corroltoralcd the wit ness' testimony, but Kenny denied the whole affair. "Twenty dollars fine in the Sullivan as sault ease and assault on the officer dis misses!," said ids honor. Kenny went down. She Fell From n Wnjion.

To Hold nil Open Meeting. This evening Excelsior Assembly, No. 2C72, K. of L.. holds an open meeting, be ginning at 8-.10 o'clock.

It takes place on the third floor or Typographical Temple, and scats are free. A Puzzled Mississippi Farmer. Last spring Jakd Ehrman was reading a magazine, and he saw aa advertisement of some very fine corn seed. It was some kind of a "wonder" or "Smith's prolific," or something of the sort. But that's neither here nor there. It guar anteed that each stalk would produce five well developed earsot corn and twonubbins; that each stalk would furnish two bundles offodder, and that after the cornaud fodder .vere gathered a considerable pile of sheckels could be made by selling the stalks for firewood. Now, everybody knows that Jake always has an eje to the main chance, and as he thought of that -wonderful, corn visions of wads of "long greon" to be derived from tho sale of it floated before his eyes. Bo he in vested in a bushel or so of seed. When the seed came It looked very much like atiy other corn, but Jake had faith. He had ten acres of the best land on .'lis place prepared in the most scientific maimer and highly fertilized. Thenh. planted the com. Itcnme up nicely. an. 1 grew wonder fully fast. It Just kept on growing, and Is still at It. In regard to the fodder and 'size of the stalks the predictions of the advertisement seem to be fulfilled. But the finny thing about it is there Isn't an ear or corn In the whole ten acres; not a one. The corn all went to stalk and leaves. One of the stalks is at Brown Bros. stable. It Is eighteen feetr high and looks something like a fishing pole with leaves on It. But what puzzles Jake Is how the ed men raanagedto get the seed bt the corn, when that variety doesn't have ears on it Jackson Aem. Good For You ! Agreeable to Us! - The ..crowds keep.

Flrxt Lieut, rugne Fired Three Tillies it Him. Chicago, Oct. 4. Col. It. E. A . Crof ton. cif the United States Array, was shot at and vroundl yesterday afternoon at Tort Sher idan liy First Lieut. 1'aBUe. At 4 o'clock this nlUTiioon, while the colonel was reviewing dress liarade, Lieut. Pague, who had becu confined iuUieuorjutaL came upon tlieeroundEand deliberately fired three Bhols at his tuiienor ofricer. The firtt shut went wide ot its mark, thetecond went th rough tlie colouel'e coat and the third grazed his ab loinen. I'ague would have fired again had not the coloml jumped from his horse and grappled with him. Lieut. 1'ague had been drinking, and was practically a maniac. Being so much younger and stronger than Col. Crofton, the latter was no match for him, and was thrown to the ground before Lieut. W. 11. rlow and others rushed to his rescue and disarmed the would-be murderer. As soon as Lieut. Pague was subdued an ambulance was called to remove the wounded colonel, and Tague himself was escorted to the guardhouse, where he is now being closely watched. Why the young lieuten ant should liave attempted to take the life ot bis colonel seems to be something of a mystery, though it Is known that he is hardly responsible for Ids actions. Mr. Pague Is addicted to drlut, and bason two occasions been an inmate ot the establishment for .drunkards at Dwight. It appears that he has lately returned to his old habits, and was to-day in the army hospital getting rid otitic effects of bis last spree. In some way he got past the hospital guards and was not missed until after the shooting occurred. The affair has caused great e.citemcnt at Fort Sheridan, ,and the escape of Col. Crofton, who Is the commandant at the post, from death Is considered miraculous. Thewound received .by the officer Is pain fill, though not thought to be bCrious. The Safest Place. Gen. Lee told an amusing story this morning to a reporter. 'When he was about to deliver his address at the Confed erate reunion In Craig county recently some one came to him and asked him If he would iiotspcaktoanoldcolorednian who wished to Epeak to him. The General consented, and the old negro, whose name was Sam, and who had rought throughout the war, came and received the proffered hand. Gen. Lee at once begau to put questions to the old fellow, who-auswered with wonderful skill. The General then asked him where he had- seen the best lime during the war. "At Chltkamauga," at once, replied the darky, "because I ran fts toon as the firing began." "But bo w did you know which way 1 11 run in such a not battle?" asked Gen. Lee, with a merry twinkle in his eye. "I went"dircttly to the tafest place and the first I could find," answered 8am, com ing to bis climax. Again be was asked how be could tell which place was safe. "X kuowed It was safe," replied Sam, "cause I skipped for de place whar de generlls was." Gen. Lee enjoyed t'-Joke. and laughed heartily at the darky's wit. Charlottes- Tllle Chronicle, For Ladies.

Coroner llumniett TVill Hold an In-cim-st "I'd Imottlfrato tlie Un fortunate1 Accident. An unknown man about forty-five, years ot age, was struck and instantly killed by passenger train Xo. 440 ot the Penn sylvania Railroad, from Oivoquan, a short distance from the Lon? Bridge, on tlie Dis trict side, about 7:30 o'clock- last night, as told In to day's Morning Times. The body was discovered alongside of the track a few minutes after the train had passed by the swluhniau-on guard at the end of the bridge. The man was struck on the right side, his face and right eye being crushed into a pulp. Ills arm was bruised aud broken. ana mere were several smaller cuts anu bruises about the head and body. The body was that of a roan about five feet, nine inches tall, weighing about ICO pounds. He bad light-brown hair and mus tache. His clothing consisted of black coat and vest and black trousers. The engineer of the train, Frank Chllds, did not sec anyone near the track, aud says he felt no shock to his engine as he passed the end ot the bridge. From a number ot policy drawings found iu his pockets he had evidently been visiting the gambling Joints on the Virginia side of the Potomac. A number of people visited the morgue this mornlrg and viewed tho n mains, but there was no one who could identify them. Dr. Hammett was notified hast night and inves'tlgated the accident this morning. There was a report current last night that & man named Charles Mathews, of Xo. 43 Pierce street, accompanied the deceased, butnosuch person could be foundatthehousc and thestory has not been corroborated. Detective Horn viewed the remains at the morgue this morning and identified them as those of John Ellis. The man is said to have been employed as a policy runner by one of the gambling firms at Jackson City. Ellis lived with George Myers, his brother-in-law, who keeps a saloon at the south end of the bridge. Dr. Ilammelt viewed the remains at the Sixth -precinct to-day and decided to hold an (nonest there to-morrow, Saturday, morning, at 11 o'clock. Coul Dealers Assign. Messrs. Harry T.
