AMONG THE HORSES. The Twin City Jockey Club's Inaugural Summer Meet ing 1 at Hamline. It Will Open To-Morrow With the Greatest of Events— The Derby. This Meeting 1 Will Decide the Fate of Racing* in the Northwest. Already a Large Number of Bang- Tails Are Stabled on the Track. To-morrow will be the greatest day for sport in the history of the Twin Cities. It will mark the opening of the inaugural summer meeting of the Twin City Jockey club, which horsemen, and especially those of the Northwest, have had in view for many months. The Twin City is the youngest of the sister hood of jockey clubs which have been formed in the West within the past two decades, and that it will be one of the most successful is the concensus of opinion among those who have been ils projectors and who have de voted to preparations for the initial meeting much valuable time and what is more substantial, nearly £100,000 in hard cash. Racing has never had a chance to become popular in the Northwest, where for years trotting has had a monopoly, but the same was nearly Use case with Chicago. The tremendous popularity the spurt has attained there in the few years the Washington Park has had it in hand shows what can be done with proper effort, backed with the popularity to draw upon and ener getic men with money behind the en terprise. The new Twin City club has every advantage in respect to popula tion, which is 500.000. The found ers of the cities of -St. Paul and Minneapolis could scarcely have imagined that their growth would be what it has proved, and united in one grand municipality willmake what New York is to the Atlantic coast, and Chi cago is to the Midland states. With the enormous population and wealth it has to draw upon from the Twin Cities, the new jockey club will be able to found in the meeting which begins to morrow, a racing center, which with the assistance of Chicago, will establish racing in the Northwest upon a very substantial basis. The meeting is well timed, coming as it does immediately following the close at Chicago, and offers an opportunity to West ern stables preferable by far than a trip East during the summer to compete for purses not half as large as those offered here. The programme for to-morrow, the opening day, is a very attractive one, the stake feature of the card being the Twin City Derby, for three-year-olds, one mile and a quarter, which has forty engaged.

Evidence is accumulating that the mare Belle, owned by Jay La Due & Sons, the Rock county. Minn., breeders, is the greatest brood mare in the coun try to-day. Belle's colt, Polly, the mare that won the race at Vienna, Austria, trotting seven heats alLbetter than 2:25, and winning the r;ice by outstaying ail others, has been heard from again, this time at Lyons, France, where she won three races in two days, including the great international and the champion ship of France. These were all long distance races, every heat trotted being one mile and seven-eights, and the last race for the championship of France be ing best two in three and won by Polly in two straight hea.s. The great speed and remarkable stay ing qualities of the American mare, Polly, can only be accounted for by tracing the breeding of her dam, Belle, who invariably transmits to all of her colts great speed and those won derful powers of endurance which en abled Polly to trot the seventh mile as fast as the first and to easily win the long-distance races against such horses as the great American stallion Milton, by Smuggler. Col. Wilson, the proprie tor of the Cvnthian stock farm, of Ken tucky, who has been the owner and breeder of more fast horses than any other man of his years, has said of Belle, the great brood mare of the Riverside stock farm that slie had bet ter breeding and more good points for a brood mare than any mare outside of Kentucky, To state the whole truth it must be said that Belle is the greatest brood mare in the country to-day, in cluding the mares of the famous blue grass region of Kentucky. Guy's Oltl Record Stands. Last Wednesday at Cleveland, Guy trotted a mile in 0:82%, 1:05^, 1;38% :2:11 1 .;. The timers were William Ed wards, W. B. Faslg, Harry Deyereux and Ferd Leek. Mr. Gordon himself was in the stand, and it is stated that he wagered a dollar with Mr. Edwards that 2:13 would not be beaten. The performance was :i great one, but it is not a record. The fact that the owner of the horse was in the judges' stand constitutes by itself a bar against au unclouded record. Outside of this there was no formal announcement in ad vance of the contest, and then the pre siding judge was one of the contracting parties to the wager. All the formali ties required by the rules were absent, and so the record of Guy was not changed by the performance. The of ficial mark of the gelding is 2:12. Case's Proposition. Jackson I. Case writes from Hickory Grove farm, Racine, Wis. : "We have a yearling, two-year-old and a four-year old, each of which we will match against any colt or filly of the same age now owned in the state, no matter where bred. Each of the above carries the blood of Dictator; the yearling a double infusion, once through Brown, the sire, once through the dam, Phallas Queen, by Phallas. The two-year-old is a Phallas colt with a dam of unknown breeding. In addition to the above we have a three-year-old grandson and granddaughter of Phallas, and although they can both now trot close to i:'M we hardly think them worthy to be named In this proposition. Have also a two year-old filly out of a Dictator mare that can trot faster and do it nicer than I ever saw with the same handling. She is too good to train young. When first ween by the public I predict it will be a grand circuit winner down through the big line." Chicago's Big Trotting Meeting. For a six days' meeting at Washing ton Park. Chicago,. Aug. 19-24, the Northwestern Association of Trotting and Pacing Horse Breeders lianas up tlie snug sum of £25,000. The events which have closed are well rilled, and excellent material will enter for the purses now open. Chicago is ripe for another great trotting movement, and the association, of which lion. John L. Mitchell is president, is strongly equipped for leadership. A liner theater for performance than Washington Park could not have been chosen. The purses will close w\ Monday, July 39, with she secretary, 11. 1). IvlcKinney, of Janesville. Jay-Eye-See and Guy are barred from tlie free for all. Williams' i-.'quine Wonders. C. W. Williams, of lowa, is embar rassed with riches in the shape of three year-olds. He is troubled about naming THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE mujnDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1889. a selling price for Axtell, 2:15^, and at St. Paul he won the 2:40 class with Allerton to 2:2J», 2:23,2:24%. The lat ter is by Jay Bird, dam by Mambrino Boy. His blood lines are very like those of Axtell. It takes a mighty good green three-year-old to beat a field of horses in 2:23. Mr. Williams is quite an artist in drawing prizes in the field of breeding. William X. and Jay Bird are companions in the stud at Ash Grove. Here is to you, student of Shakespeare and grower of trotters, George Wiikes Simmons! May the mint always be fragrant and the ice crop never fail. CCRBXER'S COLTS.

Chicago, July 21.— The announce ment that west-bound rates from the Atlantic seaboard to St. Paul and Min neapolis would advance to the basis of 85 cents per hundred pounds by the "Soo" line has not been carried into effect. The 75 cent rate is still in force. The Soo probably thought it advisa able to make no further advance i pending the negotiations of the Chicago roads with the Eastern trunk lines for for the publishing of a joint tariff on a pro-rata basis between the seaboard and St. Paul via Chicago. Chairman Fait horn's committee, which spent last week in New York trying to persuade the managers of the Eastern roads to adopt the pro-rata land ignore the long and short haul provision of the law, was not successful in its undertaking. No definite conclusion was reached, but the manner in which the proposition was received by the trunk line magnates leaves little doubt that it is their purpose to reject it. The principal ob i jection raised to the plan at the confer ence was that even if such a proceeding was permissable under the law, it would cause local con, plications and probably give rise to numerous complaints and law suits. To meet the competition of the Canadian and water routes it would be necessary to make a 75-cent rate from New York to St. Paul by the way of Chicago, and the proposition is to do this without disturbing any of the local rates between New York and Chicago and between Chicago and St. Paul. Still Buying Breweries. Indianapolis, lnd., July 21. — Alt Linge and C. N. Nader, representatives of the English brewery syndicate, are here negotiating for the purchase of the Schmidt and Lieber breweries, each valued at §1,000,000.

NINE AWFUL SHOTS, An Ohio Politician Fires Five Bullets Into the Body of His Wife Shoots Her Father Three Times Through the Breast and Then Kills Himself. A Prisoner Killed and Deputy Sheriff Mortally Wounded at Cleveland. An lowan Attempts to Murder His Wife and Shoots Him self Dead. Beta:*, 0., July 21.— A terrible tragedy was enacted at Edgertou, this county, to-day. About three years ago Hiram Hoadley Jr. married Miss S. E. Newman, daughter of a farmer living near Edgerton. During the lapse of about two years some unpleasantness grew up between Mr. Hoadley and his wife, which led to temporary separation, but last September they again be gan to live together as hus band and wife, and the supposition was that their differences had been reconciled. At the last term of the common pleas court of Williams county Mrs. Hoadley applied for a divorce and alimony, and in the meantime had left her husband and returned to her fath er's house near Edgerton. This morn ing about 6 o'clock Hoadley secreted himself near the premises of Mr. New man, and the very first one to fall a victim to his plot was the wife, who was in the act of going out to milk the cows. Hoadley seized her with his left hand, and with his right he fired three shots into her breast, and left her for dead. Mr. Newman heard the report of the shots, and started in the direction of the barn, when he met Hoadley, who at once shot the old man three times in the breast, one ball passing through the heart. Hoadley then pursued his mother-in-law and younger sister of Mrs. Hoadley, and but for timely aid would . have killed them also. Hoadley then returned to the place where the wife fell. He found her still living, and locking his arm in hers empted two more chambers of his revolver— in her forehead and the other in her mouth — and then shot himself, inflicting a wound from which he died at 11 o'clock to-day. Hoadley had three revolvers on his person, and it is thought he intended to kill the en tire Newman family. He leaves four children by a former wife. He once was a prominent politician of Williams county and a very prosperous and re spected citizen. BOWLED DOWN BY BULLETS. Two Persons Mortally Wounded at Cleveland. f Cleveland, 0., July .—Two pris oners, W. A. Smith and Richard N. Mansfield, broke from the county jail 1 last night, going through the slate roof. Deputy Sheriff Joseph Goldsoll went to the western part of the city, where one, of them lived, and with a policeman lay in wait for the fellows. . About mid night a carriage containing the two men passed alone the street. The officers called to the occupants of the vehicle to stop, and after some talk one of the men fired a revolver at the policeman. He and Goldsoll opened lire in return, a half dozen shots " being exchanged. Goldsoll fell at the first volley* shot through the abdomen, and the rig was driven rapidly away. The wounded officer was taken to a hospital, where he now lies in a dying condition. An hour later the rig driven by the two men was found a mile from the place of the shooting. In the buggy was the dead body of one of the men. He had been shot through the body. It was first thought the dead man was Smith, the younger of the prisoners, but those who knew Smith utterly failed to identify the corpse, arid to-night the police are still in the dark. They think, however, that the dead man was up to mischief, for in the buggy were found two re volvers, a club, screwdriver and a piece of rope. The horse, which had been stolen in the eastern part of the city, was wounded in the hip, and the buggy was riddled with bullets. It is believed that the other man was also wounded. ONLY ONE FUNERAL. An low an Kills Himself After Shooting at His Wife. Kirksville, Mo., July 21. — About two years ago James Sylva and Miss Buckale, daughter of a well-known citi zen of Kirksville, were married and re moved to Keokuk, 10. About six months ago Mrs. Sylva returned to the parental roof, stating that her husband would not support her. Yesterday she received a telegram from Sylva saying he would be there to kill the family. He kept his word, arriving this morning and going to his wife's father's house and asked his wife: "Allie, will you re turn to me?" The young woman re plied in the negative, whereupon Sylva fired at her and she fell. Thinking he had killed his wife, Sylva turned the weapon upon himself and sent a ball into his brain. He will die. Mrs. Sylva was not hurt._ BOULANGKIVS MANIFESTO. The General Attacks the French Ministry. London, July 21,— Gen. Boulanger, Count Dillon and M. Rochefort have issued the following manifesto: "To the French electors: We have disdained to reply to the absurd calumnies concreted by ministers who have been convicted of peculation. Our abstention from this odious comedy is now justi fied by the indignant repulsion, of attempts to extort from officers of the army lying denunciations of their former chief. These suborners of wit-' nesses have not hesitated to employ the tax payers' money to obtain false depo- 1 sitions from jail birds in their very cells at Mazas. These are the miserable pre varicators who accuse their former minister of war of corruption. Public disgust has already condemned and the justice of the country will speedily overtake these malefactors. They appealed to the penal code, but the outcome of their infamous machina tions was that they could bring abso lutely nothing against us. If they could have obtained the most trivial proof they would not thus have risked the assize court by negotiating with forgers.- It is for you. dear fellow . countrymen, to judge between us and these thieves. We await with confidence your sen tence^-from which these bandits, who feel its appraoeh, vainly endeavor to escape. Long live regenerated France! Long live the honest republic! Foreign Troops Moving. London, July 21. — A dispatch from Eszeroum to the Standard says: There is an unusual movement of Russian troops between the Turkish frontier and Kutais, Tifflis, Alexandropol and Erivan. It is estimated that 80,000 men . are already concentrated and more are coming. Cairo, July 21.— Eight hundred more British troops have started for Assouan. . .- ♦ — : . — . Decorated Anarchist Graves. Parts, July 21. — The Marxists marched in procession to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise to-day and laid wreaths upon the graves of the dead communists. Herr Liebknecht and " others delivered orations at the tombs' of Boorne and Heine. A band of ' Possiblists, headed by Mrs. Besant, also visited the cemetery and decorated the communists' graves with wreaths, also placing upon them grasses which had been plucked from the graves of the anarchists who were executed at Chicago. Everything passed off in an orderly manner. A VALLEY OF DEATH. No Bird or Beast Can Enter and Remain Alive. San Francisco Chronicle. In Yellowstone park there is a revine that proves as deadly to animal life as that Death Valley of Java, where wild beasts perish by the score," said Henry W. Mclntyre, of the Palace hotel, last night. The gentleman was connected with the party who surveyed the reservation, under the lead ership of Arnold Hague, the park geologist. While following the streams to trace the extinct hot springs the explorers reached a ravine in which the bon?s of many animals, bears, dear, rabbits and squirrels, were found. The presence of the remains caused the party much wonder, and a solution of the strange affair was found only when a crow that had been seen to fly from the side of the valley to a car cass that was yet fresh, lit on its prey and almost immediately fell to the. ground. "The death of the bird," continued Mr. Mclntyre, "was caused by case ous exhalations, whose presence in the park had been before unsuspected. The larger game also met its death by inhaling the deadly gas. The ravine is in the uortherstern part of the park, iv the vicinity ot the mining camp of CooKe Creek, and not far from the live of the mail route. All about this region gaseous exhalatious are giv en off which form sulphurous deposits. In the almost extinct hot spring areas of Soda Butte, Laniar river and Cache and Miller creeks the ravine was found. This region is rarely visited, although this is an admirable spot for game, which, however, goes unmolested by man, the laws against hunting being very severe. The road to the valley has few attractions, and the visitors to the Fossil forests and Hindoo basin seldom make the trip. "In the center of a meadow, reached by an old elk trail, is a shallow depres sion that was once the bed of a hot spring pool. This is now dry and is covered with a slight deposit of salt, and that is the bait that attracts the elk and other game of the region. The 'lick' extends for seventy-five yards up the ravine, and is thicker and more palpable towards the upper end. The creek runs past along the side of the valley and boils and bubbles as if it were the outlet of a hot spring. But the water is cold and the disturbance in its surface is caused by the emissions of gas, mainly carbonic acid. It also contains sulphur, as particles of that are seen. on the sides of the creek. As we went up the stream the odor of sulphur became very strong and caused irritation of the bronchial passages. About eighty yards above Cache creek were the bones of a large bear and near by was a smaller grizzly decomposed, but with the skin and hair yet fresh. Only a short distance farther on were the skeletons of many more ani mals, such as elk and deer and other large game. Squirrels, rab bits, birds and insects were lying about in quantities, and the ravine looked as if it had been the 'scoop' of a drive into which the animals of the park had been hunted and had there been left to die of hunger out of mere wan tonness. There was no wounds appar ent on the bodies before us. Ail the animals had been asphyxiated by the deadly gases that hung a few feet from the surface of ths gulch in a dense pal pable curtain. "The first bear we saw was a good way down the gulch, where a neck is formed. To that point the gas must have been driven by the wind and the deadly na ture may be easily guessed when it is remembered that the slightest motion causes a diffusion of the other that would tend to decrease its noxious prop erties. Here is the explanation of the oft-repeated assertion that game was being exterminated by hunters in the Yellowstone, notwithstanding the strin gent laws that had been passed for the protection of animals there. I had seen it noted that ea^h year bears, deer, mountain tigers and other wild animals were disappearing from the reservation and it was asserted that friends of the people who had charge of the park were allowed to hunt there in defiance of the law. There were probably 150 bodies of wild animals in the gulch when 1 was there. But, although there were skele tons entire and sinerle bones, it must not be supposed these were the remains of all the game that had found death in the ravine. They had accumulated only since the last rain storm." Lepers in the Himalayas. From the Pall Mall Gazette. The Death of Father Damien has drawn attention to leper settlements in various parts of the world, and it is well not to overlook English men and women who iv India ana elsewhere, are proving to be true friends of the leper. "A few days ago, "writes a cor respondent of a Manchester paper, "1 met the Rev. Henry Coley, of Almora. He says there is a leper set tlement near him, in the Himalaya mountains, where there are on an av erage 107 inmates, in addition to others who even in their misery prefer free dom in their village homes to the more regular comfort provided in the asylum. Referring to these lepers, Rev. J. Hew lett, M. A., who (like Mr. Coley) labors in connection with the London Mis sionary society, says that recently he welcomed to church fellowship ninety six of these lepers, who, under God, owed all to the instructions given and the brotherly heip shown by another Englishman, the Rev. John Henry Bud den. Ido not want to pluck one flower from the grave of the Belgian priest on the shores of Molokai, but I think we should not overlook the work which is being done so well by agents of the English Free churches in various parts of the world." A Famous French Princess. Paris Letter to Pittsburg Chronicle. But the most stylishly dressed lady on the racecourse when the Grand Prix was run was the Princess of Metternich, of world-wide fame for her taste, ele gance and esprit. Everybody will remember what an important po sition she held here when, under the last empire, her hus hand represented the Austrian court at the Tuilleries. There, together with Empress Eugenic, she set the fashions for the world. She has visited Paris but seldom since the Napoleons disap peared. On Sunday last she sat in the tribune reserved for ladies, in a magnificent silk dress of sulphur color, surrounded by all the ladies who now hold a leading posi tion in Paris society. She was shown over the lawns by Mr. Ridgeway, the champion eallant of the American col ony iv Paris. Mr. Ridgeway is in close relationship with some of the very best French families, his sisters and cousins being married to well-known Counts and Marquises. A Chapter of Calamities. Northwestern Trade. A Southern merchant had a chance the other day to find the first cause of an accident which happened in his store. A rattlesnake frightened a cat, that scared a hen, that knocked a jar ot jam from a shelf, which hit the faucet of a barrel of molasses, which turned the faucet, causing the loss of a barrel of molasses. But the man who sends a boy who orders goods which nourishes the body which supports tqe man who never intends to pay for what he re ceived is often more expensive than this rattlesnake. Washburn's objection to J. C. Dona hower, of St. Peter, as revenue col lector, is that he is unfit for the posi tion. That's a strange estimate of a man who has been cashier of a bank for twenty years. Wonder what Wash burn's estimate of himself is? — New Ulm Review. DOWNED THE ENGLISHMAN. Evan Lewis Too Much for Charles Green, of England. Milwatkee, Wis., July 21.— The Athletic ball park was the scene of a eatch-as-catch-can wrestling match IMb afternoon between Evan Lewis, the "Strangler," and Charles Green, heavy weight champion of England. The "Strangler" laid out the English man in three straight rounds, getting two points down in the first in two minutes. In the second bout he worked oue hour and three minutes to down the English, champion, and in the third he dowued him in three minutes. H. Walthall was chosen referee and Tom Connors and McMillan were Green's and Lewis' seconds respect ively. Bradburu and Kirby acted as timekeepers. The match was for Sl5O a side and gate money to the winner. Green was badly bunged up. and the "strangler" came very near breaking his neck in the second bout. THE BIG WHEAT FARMS Must Go, as the Matter Is Viewed by the Moorhead News. Rev. J. O. Cavallin has returned from a trip down the valley iv Minnesota as far as Kittson county. He states that the crop will be fair down that way. He says that careful and thorough tillage shows its good effects in a most remarkable way there as it does here. He saw a field of wheat in that country which gives promise of thirty bushels per acre, and across the line immediately alongside, on land which was originally precisely identical, the crop will not produce two bushels per acre. He says this year will have a tendency to break up the large farms. On the Ryan farm in Kittson county, where there are sixteen sections in one township all under crop, much of the wheat is hardly worth harvest-ins. This is due to the kind of farming done on large farms where all work is hired, and the men have no personal interest in the results of their labor. There is no doubt whatever that the dividing up of those great wheat farms will be beneficial to the country, More farm ers and the cultivation of less land by each is what is needed. The work will be better done and the production vastly increased. It will, besides, be better for all kinds of business, as the occupants will be permanent resi dents. Mr. Ryan is already offering his land for sale in small tracts. Grandin is doing the same. Mr. Dalrymple will be compelled sooner or later to follow the example, and larsre farms will be the exception in the Red river valley. Thus abuses and undesirable conditions are swept by a power higher than man's to the benefit of the human family. Rendered ''Parsifal." Bayreutit, July 21.— The Wagner festival opened to-day with a fine ren dering of "Parsifal." The attendance was enormous, hundreds being turned away from the doors. The king of Sax ony and other royalties were present. There is an unprecedented demand for tickets. The regent of Bavaria comes here about the middle of August to meet Emperor William and Empress Augusta Victoria. Fresh pork is wanted in large mar kets all the time. Kill and market when uiost convenient, and don't feed a hog three months awaiting an old-fashioned "killing time."
