ROBERT J.'S VICTORY.
Ihe Great Son of Hartford Establish
a New Record.
Louisville, Sept. 18. Not only the
grandstand, but the standing room ca
pacity of the Louisville Driving Fair as
sociation was taxed yesterday afternoon.
A fast track and a bright sunshine fav
ored the great pacing race which Robert
J., John R. Gentry and Joe Patchen were
to battle for supremacy.
At 2:30 o'clock, when the three horses
scored for the opening heat, it is estimated
nearly 10,000 people were on the grounds.
Robert J. the great son of Hartford, came
off victorious; but for the fact that Joe
Patchen went into the air when within
forty yards of the wire in the fourth heat
there might have been another ending.
Robert J., however, was 1 as steady as a
clock, and not once during the four heats
did he go off his feet.
The fourth heat, which was paced in
2.04 , establishes a new record, being the
first fourth heat ever trotted by any horse
in that time. There were seven races on
the program, but it was necessary to carry
both the 2.11 and 2.16 trots over until to
day, while the 2.24 trot was not reached.
Navaradine died as a result of Wednes
day's seven heats in the 2.17 trot, which
was not decided.

Holmes Again Indicted.
Philadelphia, Sept. 13. H. H. Holmes,
the murderer and insurance swindler, was
indicted yesterday by the grand jury for the
murder of Bj F. Pitezel, whose mysterious
death occurred here a year ago, and the
subsequent collection of $10,000 insurance
on his life by Holmes led to the unveiling
of the latter' s remarkable criminal record.
Indictments for murder have also been
brought against Holmes in Toronto and
Indianapolis, and proceedings are pending
in Chicago.
New TOrk CInbmen Go Dry.
New York, Sept. 16. For the first time
in the history of New York a drink could
not be had at the bar of most of the prin

action of President Roosevelt, and the po
lice commissioners in deciding to stop, as
far as they were able, the sale of intoxicat
ing drinks in the clubs, in violation of the
law, met with! general success, as most of
them through their board of governors in
structed the employes riot to open the bars.

THIRTY-FIVE DEATHS REPORTED.
Appropriation of $10,000 Made to
Stamp Out the Disease Ex-Qnem L-iii-nokalani
and Other Political Offenders
Pardoned.
San Francisco, Sept. 13. The steamer
Australia arrived yesterday from Hono
lulu, bringing the following advices to the
Associated Pres.1:
Honolulu, Sept. 5. Forty one cases of
cholera have been reported to dato, with
thirty-five deaths. The disease attacks,,
only the natives. Every effort is being
made to stamp it .out.' No island steam
ers are allowed, to leave port without first
remaining in quarantine, for five days.
Passengers must undergo the same ordeal.
The cholera, according, to the fmeral
theory, was brought to Honolulu by the
steamer Belgic, which arrived on tlv 9th
of August with 536 Chinese immlsr-n nts
on board. The vessel had a clean bill of
health, but, following the custom, the
Chinese were placed in quarantine. On
the 18th of August it was learned that
three of the immigrants had died, two
from bowel complaint and the other from ;
exhaustion. Physicians made a careful
examination of the first cases, and declared
that it was not cholera. More cases broke
out soon, however. By this time the dis
ease was declared to be genuine Asiatic
cholera. . '
Up to Aug. 23 five cases of cholera had
developed at Honolulu, with four deaths.
On the evening of the 24th another case
was reported. For five days there were no
cases reported and people became easier,
believing that the disease had been stamped
out. But it was only a respite. On the
30th nine cases were reported, five of which
proved fatal. One of the unfortunates
was a seaman on the Bennington, named
W. H. Goedel.' He was taken ill while on
board the vessel, and lived but a short time.
He had bathed in the harbor and it is
thought contracted the disease in this
manner. On' the following two days four
cases were reported, and on the third seven
cases developed.
"With the exception" of the Bennington
sailor the , scourge has attacked only na
tives, the chief difficulty in dealing with
the cholera here being the ignorance and
unclean habits of the natives and Chinese.
The natives, of course,' have no conception
of the nature of the disease, its origin or
the proper treatment of it. In this, as in
all other respects, they are mere children
and must be treated accordingly.
The physicians are gradually locating
the germ centers, but new cases arise in
unexpected quarters, and there has not
been a sufficient number of facts to enable
any safe generalization to be made.
The council of state held a meeting yes
terday afternoon and evening, and after
appropriating $10,000 for the expenses in
curred by the board of health, the matter
of pardoning political prisoners came up
for consideration. The executive recom
mended that Carl Widemann, the four
Lane boys, Junius Kaao, Joe Widdlefield
and thirty-nine others be pardoned. The
council adopted the recommendation.
At the same meeting ex-Queen Llliuo
kalani was pardoned also, and the others
will be liberated as soon as the pardons
are made out.
The Cap Remain Ilere.
New York, Sept. 13. The international
series between I Defender and Valkyrie for
the America's cup is ended. The De
fender won in a clean race on Satur
day, on Tuesday last she crossed the line
behind the English boat, but was awarded
the race on a foul, and yesterday she had a
walkover. Lord Dunraven had said Wed
nesday, and he said it most emphatically,
that he would withdraw his boat on the
morrow if an absolutely clear course was
Tint. TvrrwidAn1 TTr rlnimftd that, dnrlnor the
previous race his boat had been greatly in-
terfered with, and as everything depended
upon the outcome of the third of the series
he adhered to that decision so closely that
"Valkyrie merely crossed the starting line
and then retired from the contest. By
her three straight victories, Defender re
tains the historic cup for America.
Probably Fatally Shot by a Constable.
WlLKESBARRE, Pa., Sept; 16. Michael
Dapsiges and John Bynae, two Poland
ers, of Edwardsville, were probaly fatally
shot at an early hour yesterday morning
by Constable Wolf. Accompanied by an
otheronstable named Michael Judge he
got into an . altercation with the Poland
ers, when Wolf jhilled out his revolver and
fired six shots into the crowd. Dapsiges
was shot in the neck and Bynae in the ab
domen. Warrants were issued for the con
stables. Judge was taken into custody,
but Wolf has not yet been found. '

Louisville Soldiers Killed by the
Explosion of a Caisson.
BIX DEAD AND SEVERAL INJURED.
The Accident Occurred in the Residence -Portion
of the City, and the Victims
Were Members of a Local Artillery
Company A Grand Stand Falls.
Louisville, Sept. 12. A horrible acci
dent, in the death of six and the wounding
of several members of the Louisville I
, gion, occurred by the explosion of a cais
son . The accident took place on Broadway
between Third and Fourth streets, where
the First Kentucky artillery were stationed
for the purpose of firing a salute.
Two of iie bodies were blown over the
bouse tops, arid were horribly mangled.
The wounded have been removed to the
hospitals. Two horses attached to the
cannon were so horribly mangled that
they will be put to death. All the killed
were members of the First Kentucky ar
tillery,of Louisville, which has always been
considered the finest in the state.
Those killed are; Corporal Al Robinson,
Privates Charles Oestrich, Charles "Wood,
Howard Irwin, - McBride, Hutch-:
ins, and the driver, "William Adams, col- ;
ored. !
! The place where the accident occurred
is one of the finest resident districts in the
city. Fortunately, few people were on the
street or the list of killed and injured
would have undoubtedly been greatly in
i creased. Every window in the block was
blown out.
( The body of the colored driver, mangled
almost beyond recognition, fell on the
'. front porch of a residence, fully 300 feet
, from the place where the explosion oc
curred. Just outside the fence and on the
sidewalk was the body of Private Woods.
Bits of flesh and pieces of bloody uniform
were scattered all along the street, cling-'
ing to the tree tops and in the shattered
windows. A leg and half a coat were
found on Third street, one block south of
where the explosion took place. They
must have been blown clear over a three
story and basement house. Several man
gled legs and arms were found on the tops
of adjacent houses. ; v .
It is believed that the body of Private
Hutchins was blown, to Dieces, as it has
not yet been found. The body of Howard
Irwin was so badly mangled that it was
almost impossible to gather it up without
a shovel. It was found at the intersection
of Broadway and Fourth streets, nearly a
block away. I
It is doubtful if anything ever occurred
in this region that has caused such wide
spread sorrow. The regiment to which
the young men belonged is made up of the
pick and flower of Louisville. Many of
them are society' leaders and of wealthy
families. Captain Ltavid Castleman, who
was in charge, was riding at the side of the
detail. He escaped Jnjury. :
The battery was on its way to Phoenix
hill v for the purpose of firing a salute of
forty-four guns. There were sixty-six
pounds of powder in the caisson.
THE GRAND STAND
FELL.
Many Injured While Witnessing
Pyro-
technic Display at LonUville.
Louisville, Sept. 13. While 100,000
persons were watching Paine' fireworks
display along the river front at 10 o'clock
last night a portion of the grand stand on
which were seated at least 10,000 people
gave way and many were injured. No
fatalities are reported. ,
The grand stand which fell was about
400 feet loug and sixty feet wide. It was
the lower part and only elevated about
two feet. Immediately beyond this part,
on an elevation of eight to ten feet, there
were 50,000. That no one was killed is
one of the marvels. The platform on
which the seats were placed swerved to the
rear and then settled to the ground with a
crash. As it careened, the planks of which
the seats were made were f erced together
and the feet and legs of hundreds of the
spectators were caught, as in a huge trap.
A number of G. A. R. veterans who were
witnesses of the accident said they aided a
large number of people who had been
Viniispd and iniiired about the leers to
carriages and sent them to hotels or their
homes. They did not stop in the excite
ment to get their names.

j Killed by a Pin.
New York, Sept. 16. Coroner's Physi
cian Donlin made his report on the au
topsy in the case of Mrs. Julia Albert, who
was killed! by lightning at her home t
Highland Island, near City Island. He
found that the lightning had been at
tracted by a pin which Mrs. Albert wore
in the neck of her dress. The lightning
struck the head of the pin, melted it and
drove it through her dress, embedding it
in the flesh on her breast. The skin around
the pin was'scorched. There were no other
marks on the body. The pin contained a
large percentage of copper.

Mr. R-pko is in Florida, but will come

The Mora Claim.
Washington, Sept. 14. The details for
the payment of the Mora claim have been t
definitely arranged, and the draft pre
pared for transfer today. It calls for the
equivalent in English pounds sterling of
$1,449,000, signed by SenorDupuy deLome
as Spanish minister, payable to Mr. Olney
as secretary of state, and drawn upon
Spain's financial agent in London. Senorr
de Lome in person will hand the note to
Acting Secretary Adee, who, as such, will
have authority to indorse the draft in the
absence of Mr. Olney. The loss of $51,000
from the amount of $1,500,000 originally
agreed upon is due to the difference be
tween the value of the Spanish peso and
the American gold dollar.
