2 RACING AT ASBURY. World's Quad Record for a Mile Placed at 1:50 3-5. BALD IN GREAT FORM. The Buffalo Boy Wins All the Class B Championship Events. FAST MILE BY ZIMMERMAN. Though Out of Condition the Champion Covers the Dis tance in 1:57 1-4. APP.URY PARK, N. J.. July 12— ■ As the National meet of the L. A. W. draws to the close the attendance increases. Many who cared more for the races than sociability and picnicking have waited to make their appearance until the track events were under way. This morning was given over to trial heats at the ath letic ground?, the twenty-six preliminary events attracting an audience of fully 5000 spectators. The trials, for the most part, ■were well worth seeing and the scarcity of accidents was as welcome as it was unex pected. In the afternoon perfect weather greeted the riders, and a crowd that com pletely filled the stands and bleachers saw a display of wonderful riding. The features of extraordinary and unusual character were the "quad" race, Zimmerman and Dirnberger's trials against time and the one-third mile handicap race between two very small boys, Masters Louis Benner, aged 4, and John .J. Benner, a 6-year-old. The quad race was run against time, each team going a mile on its own hook, the one making the fastest trip receiving the prize. Peter Berlo's four-seated ma chine, manned by L. B. Cullahan, Nut Butler, A. C. McLeod and F. Haggerty, •went a superb mile in 1:50 3-5, a new world's quad record. "King" Michael Dirn berger, paced by the latter quad, estab lished a new track and State amateur record, riding handsomely in 2:01. Arthur Augustus Zimmerman, the cham pion of everywhere, rode a mile behind a professional quad manned by Starbuck, Cutler, Baker and Bartholomew in 1:57}.j, the third being made in :39 1-5 and two thirds in 1:18 1-5. This is the fastest mile ever ridden by the only Zim in this coun try, and considering the fact that the cham pion is out of condition, it was wonderful time. The regular racing events brought out much enthusiasm, of which the class B competition won the most. These events were redhot and uncertain to the end. The two-thirds mile open for a trip to Europe and return was a battle royal. Bald, Porter, Murphy, Gardiner, Coulter and Jenney lined up at the start. At the head of the stretch Bald was fourth and seemed to be beaten, but Gardiner and Coulter swung wide iv turning and the Buffalo boy cut by them at the pole, run ning home in a driving finish a wheel ahead of Charley Murphy. The half-mile National championship was called next, with Murphy. Ziegier, Bald and McDonald on the mark. Murphy went ahead and stayed there until the last turn, when Bald and McDonald Hashed by him, with Ziegier on the outside. Down the stretch came the two Columbia boys abreast, straining every nerve. At the tape McDonald made a supreme effort, and in trying to fling himself over first raised his front wheel clear off the ground. To many in the stand it looked like McDonald's race, but the judges decided on Bald as the winner. Howard E. Raymond, ex-chairman of the National racing board, Chicago, was referee. The judges were: H. Robinson. Boston ; W. H. Pitman, New York, and D. \Y. Roberts, St. Louis. A big surprise to many was the appear ance in the professional event of Conn Baker, the Modesto (Ohio) man, and I. A. Silvie of Staten Island, who have pre viously figured in class B. The B men were unable to make a showing in the money race, owing to the execrable handi capping. Summary of trial heats: Half-mile novice, class A— First heat won by E. W. Swanbrough, Denver.

CHICAGO, 111., July 12.— 1n a recent recount of the ballots in the McGann- Belknap election contest from the Second District Commissioner Keenan procured warrants for the arrest of the three judges of the Twentieth Election District in the First Ward. The men named in the war rants charged with having made frandu lent election returns are A. E. Gage,- Republican, Andrew Buchanan and John Ready, Democratic judges. The warrants were immediately placed in the hands of Inspector Fitzpatrick for service. The recount of the Twentieth Precinct, on which the Belknap forces placed almost their entire confidence to win out, gave their candidate a majority of 128 more than shown by the official returns. With the counting 6f the Fifth -nd Sixth Pre cincts of the Second Ward Belknap gained 12 additional votes, giving him a majority over McGann of 106 as far as the recount has progressed. If the contest is sustained Illinois will not have a Democratic representative. DENOUNCED AS BOLTERS Carlisle Warned That He Is to Speak Before Renegade Democrats. Chairman Smyth's Explanation of the Split in His Party in Nebraska. OMAHA, Neb., July 12.— Hon. C. J. Smyth, chairman Democratic Central Com mittee, sent to-night to Secretary John G. Carlisle a letter telling him that the com mittee had announced that Carlisle would address a Democratic State convention at Lincoln, September 5. Mr. Smyth as serts that this convention is a bogus Dem ocratic convention, and is called by bolters who withdrew from the State convention last year. He explains the case thus: Omaha, July 12, 1595. Hon. John Q. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury. Washington. D. C— Dear Sir: We understand that you have been invited to visit Nebraska aiid deliver an address at the convention called to meet at Lincoln on September 5 next. If you have been led to believe that your invitation came from the regular Democratic organiza tion we desire to inform you that the conven tion to be held on September 5 was not, called by the Democratic Central Committee, but by abolting organization formed last September by a few delegates who withdrew from the regular Democratic convention under these circumstances: The convention had been regularly called and had been regularly organized; the State Central Committee, at whose instance we now address you, had been selected by a vote of the convention, each county participating; the chairman of the committee had been selected in the same way, the platform had been adopted in the same way, the Hon. \V. J. Bryan had been nominated for'l'niied States Senator in the same way, the Hon. Silas A. Holcomb had been nominated for Governor in the same way, when 36 of the 56t> delegates in attend ance bolted, formed a convention, nominated a ticket and selected a State committee, which committee, assuming to represent the Demo cratic party, has called the convention to which you have been invited. The organization formed by the colters and presided over by Mr. Euclid Martin attempted to have its candidates put upon the ollieial ballot as the regular Democratic candidates, but the Secretary of State decided that the bolters had no right to Bpeak fur the party and the supreme Court of this State subsequently refusea to interfere with the Secretary's de cision. The bolting candidates were finally placed upon the ticket by "petition' as 'straight Democrats," while the nominees of the regular Democratic convention were recognized as the nominees of the Democratic party of this State. The bolting candidate for Governor, nominated and supported by the Martin organization, received only about TOOO voles— less than 4 per cent ot the total vote cast. He concludes by inviting Carlisle to the regular State convention to be held at a date soon to be fixed, and to engage in a joint discussion of the silver question, call ing attention to the fact that the last con vention passed a resolution in favor of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. H EF USED TO GET OFF. . A\ Dea Moines Sinn btiot for Riding on the Platform of a Car. DESMOINES, lowa, July 12.— William Badgeley, aged 23, got on a platform of a Rock Island train to ride across to East Dcs Moines to-night, accompanied by an other young man. A stranger on the plat form, wearing no uniform, ordered them off and they refused. The stranger then shot Badgeley in the abdomen as he was jumping off. " He will probably die. The man who did the shooting was ar rested when the train reached Newton. He was F. Laughlin, a special agent of the Rock Island, who had been ordered to keep the platforms clear. DAMAGED Ji 1' FLOODS. Texas and Sew Mexico Deluged by a Jtainttorm. DENISON, Tex., July 12.— A deluge of rain visited this section on Wednesday night and continued nearly all yesterday.

THE SAN FKAJNUISUO <JAJ_J_, SATUKDAY, J UJLY 13, lStfo. FOUGHT WITH INDIANS Settlers Attack a Band of Marauding Ban nocks. ONE OF THE BEDS SLAIN. After a Sharp Resistance the Rest Lay Down Their Arrrfs. POACHED ON GAME PRESERVES. They Had Repulsed a Posse Sent to Drive Them From Their Old Hunting: Grounds. CHEYENNE. Wyo., July 12.— An In dian runner came into Fort Wasnakie on the Sboshone reservation yesterday with reports which were sent here by the Pros ecuting Attorney of Fremont County of a fight between the settlers of the Jackson Hole region in this State and a hunting party of Bannock Indians from the Lemhi agency in Idaho. The Jackson Hole region lies immedi ately south of the Yellowstone National Park, and has been settled but a few years. It is the finest hunting ground in the West, big game, such as elk, bear, moun tain sheep ana in some seasons of the year buffalo, being plentiful. It is a favorite hunting field for Indians and the Crows from Montana, the Sioux from the Dakotas and the Bannocks from Idaho visit the region whenever they can get an oppor tunity. On June 29 a party of seven Bannocks were discovered by ranchmen killing elk in large quantities. A warrant for their arrest under the Wyoming game laws was sworn out and a constable and three men from Maryvale, the only settlement in that region, attempted to serve it. The Bannocks, however, resisted arrest and stood off the officer and his men with their rifles. The officer retreated and sent one of his men for re-enforcements. He, with the other man, kept watch of the Indians. Twenty settlers went to the aid of the constable, who was keeping on the trail of the Bannocks, who were joined by another hunting party, increasing the number of Indians to sixteen. The posse of settlers came together on July 2 and preparations fora determined fight were made. The Indians were followed to the Fall River basin, near the Three Tetons Mountains, where they were surrounded and a demand was made for their surrender. They showed fight, firing at the scout making the demand and attempting to escape through a gulch. Here they were headed off and one of them was killed. This discouraged them and they made signs that they were willing to surrender. The entire party of fifteen was captured and the dead man buried. The County Attorney of FTemont County, in whose district the fight oc curred, left for JacksQn Hole yesterday and will take charge of the case against the Indians if he finds they were violating the laws of the State. END OF A TRAGIC CAREER A Texas Firebug Sends a Bullet Through His Brain. Detected In an Attempt to Defraud Insurance Companies With Saw dust Cig;ar3. PARIS. Tkx., July 12.— T. A. Jackson, a former merchant of Blossom, blew his brains out with a revolver bullet at this place this morning, thus ending a criminal and tragic career. Jackson moved to Blossom from Antler, Ind. Ter., in March last and opened up in the grocery business. In the course of trade he opened up an account with Abe Goldman & Bros., wholesale grocers of this place. The account became past due, and although a settlement was repeatedly re quested it was not secured. Before the account became due Jackson stored three cases of cigars in the Goldman warehouse. The Goldmans. thinkinc they were amply secured in the cigars, did not push their claim. A short time ago Jackson burned out, and, among other things, put in a claim against the insurance company for 30,000 cigars, claimed to have gone tip in smoke at the burning. The insurance company thought it quite unusual for a small mer chant to have such a large stock of cigars, and refused to pay the claim until investi gated. The Goldmans heard of this and became suspicious also, and last night opened the cases of the supposed cigars stored with them and found them to con tain nothing but sawdust. Abe Goldman, the senior member of the firm, departed for Blossom on the early train this morning and finding Jackson charged him with fraud. Finally Jackson acknowledged guilt and offered to settle the account if Goldman would not prote cute. Goldman refused to accept his terms. Jackson pleaded, but in vain. He then pulled a bulldog revolver from his pocket and attempted to murder Goldman, who beat a hasty retreat. A friend struck the pistol from his grasp and saved Goldman. Then Jackson placed the pistol to his head and fired, killing himself instantly. It AVIS' JiMi STEAL. Peculation* of the Bank Cashier Assume iMrge Proportion*. DES MOINES, lowa, July 12.— The de falcation of O. D. Davis, manager of the Exchange Bank of Peru, I6wa, is worse than supposed. Davis burned all private papers and many more that referred to the business of the bank before leaving. Of course the bank officials now admit, that he got away with $16,000 cash, and are not certain but that it may be much greater. Some of the outsiders say ths Fobs is $28,000. Davis has been a successful scoundrel for years, and one story afloat is that he has been married throe times. When he left Peru he said he was going to be mar ried, hence there was little suspicion for a long time. There seems no hope of catch ing him. PATRIARCHS ELECT OFFICERS. F. C.

WALLIN LIES IN ASHES Desolate Scene in the Town Swept by th 6 Michigan Fire. Narrow Escape of a Woman and Three Children From Death In the Flames. THOMPSONVILLE, Mich., July 12.- Forest fires are still raging north and south of here. Wallin, the small town five miles north that was swept by fire yesterday, presented a desolate appearance this morning. A Mrs. Griffin and her three small children, wrapped in bed clothes, were found buried in the sand in a very precarious condition. The fire had swept over them and scorched them se verely. Johnnie Payne, a boy 8 years of age, was found in the Betsy River with the fire raging on both sides of him. The little fellow had laid in the stream all night. So far there has been no actual lo?s of life reported. The town of Cleary, which was said to have been destroyed, is thought to be safe, as the residents had back-fired on all sides. Grand Rapids and Indian River officials say the danger to other towns has not passed, and only heavy rains can avert enormous losses. The railway people state there was no loss of life at Wallin.

He said that when properly con ducted classes enabled superintendents to detect genius; to introduce the student spirit into teachers' work ; to develop the spirit of give and take, and give unity and purpose to school work.

A Washington Man Who Married a Countess Is JV'otc in an Asylum. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 12.—Wash ington furnishes proof that marriage is a failure, at least so far as an Italian Coun tess and a resident of this city are con cerned. For his third matrimonial chance W. P. Bagaly selected a noble lady of the rank of Countess, residing in Milan, Italy. They returned to this country to make their home here, and after a brief period Mrs. Bagaly found herself compelled to bring suit for divorce.

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 12.— The question of the ownership of several hun dred thousand acres of land in Los Angeles County, Cal., recently decided as belong ing to the United States, may probably be carried to the United States Supreme Court on appeal by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The case involves the ownership of over lapping grants to the Southern Pacific and Atlantic arid Pacific railroads.

They will probably not be opened to settle ment until final judicial decision is ren dered. SILVER NOT THE ISSUE. Senator Proctor Says It Will Not Figure in the Next Campaign. England's Course May Effect a Great Change Before the National Conventions. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 11.—Sena tor Proctor of Vermont, who is in Wash ington for a few days, thinks it probable that before the National conventions meet in 1896 the silver question will be displaced by other issues. "There Is time enough," he said to-day, "for a great many things to happen before the Presidential campaign. Great Britain with its change in Ministry may assume a position in regard to silver which would make the early settlement of the question of bimetallism almost certain. In such an event the issue would take a secondary place in this country. I believe th r <t the Republican party will come out su -ugly in favor of sound currency. That is its historic position, and it will not follow after new idols. While the part}' favors an enlarged use of silver any additional recognition given to silver must be within the bounds of safety. We cannot imperil the parity of the two metals so far as the United States is concerned." Senator Proctor thinks that in the next Congress the Republicans will be found doing every thine in their power to up hold the credit of the Government and that the Treasury Department, if in need of relief, will not appeal to them in vain. "Partisanship," he said, "did not dic tate Republican action in the last Congress, and it will not dictate it now that a certain amount of responsibility rests with its leaders." Senator Proctor thinks there will he no attempt to make a general revision of the tariff. With Cleveland in the White House that would be impossible. He does not think that additional revenues will be derived from increasing the tax on beer, which is the poor man's beverage and already pays as high a tax as it can stand. "The Republicans," he said, "in the last Congress were the principal support of the administration in all efforts to preserve the credit of the country, and I do not think in the next Congress it will De found that they have suffered any loss of patriotism."
