AXTEUS GREAT FEAT. The Noted Ilorse Beats All Stallion Kecordt by Trotting a Mile in 2:12. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 11. A mile in " two minutes and twelve seconds is a great feat for an aged horse at any harness gait. When it is done by a three-year-old stallion at the trotting gait, it means a record that . will stand for many j a day. It means the' acme of physicial endurance, conrago and all that goes to make a king of all horses. T1& fourth day of the fall meeting brought out a crowd largo and enthnsiastic as ever a perfectlndian summer sun shone upon to witness an event that one is fortunate to ceo in a life-time tho great Axtell to ber.t the three-year-old record. 2:1334, hold by the California tiily Sunol. When brought out for the warming-up heat he moved with such freedom and determination tnat but I few thought tho record would stand, but that he would knock one and three-fourth second from it the wildest enthusiast did not dream. Geo. Starr was behind Father John as a helper. Williams nodded for the word at the second attempt, and the' great flight was begum With that smooth action that marks him as the purest-gaited horse that ever lived, tho first quarter was reached in S3 seconds. Tho clip is made faster to the half, in 1:052; -.32 is the gait to the three-quarter post. With never a falter he breasts the hill and turns into the stretch. A shout goes.np, "Ho will do it." On he comes, and, without a wabble or false stroke, hetinishesthemile strong .in 2:12, thns, at one stroke, reducing the three -year-oM. record l3-t second; also, the records for stallions of all ages. Williams ' was taken from the sulky and borne aloft on ahanldexs. and cheer after cheer went up for the colt and driver. The official timers were J. H. Steiner, secretary of the Ameri can Trotting Association; A. x. iinsn, or Detroit, ana Colonel Conloy, of Chicago. Their watches agreed exactly on all fractions of the mile. The watches of judges lJeauchamp and Moran told exactly the same tale. The track is seven feet Qver a mile, bv official survey. The unfinished three-year-old trot for tho , Edgewood stakes (5T00), brought over from yesterday, was quickly disposed of, Fortuna taking too lead ana never ueing neaaea.

Length or the Track. Terre Haute, Oct. 11. The race-track npon which the greatest stallion race of the age was trotted to-day-is a full mile and seven feet over the mile. All horsemen are . satisfied that it is a full mile track. An affidavit is on file with J. H. Sttiner, of Detriot, secretary of "the American Associa tion," and with the secretary of the local association that the distance, thrco . feet from ' the rail is seven feet over a full mile. Henry Simons and other wellknown horsemen with split-second watches. and standing under the wire, claim that the mile was made in 2:110. Mr. Williams. ' the owner and driver, himself drove with watch, and claims 2:1134. Colonel .Couley and associates are very conservative, and all through the meetintr their time has been slower than spectators'. The town is wild to-night. President Ijains gave a banquet to the horsemen in honor Mr. Williams, the owner of Axtell, to-night, and they are now going a merry gait on a good track. Axt?ll Sold for 8105,000. Terke Haitte. Ind., Oct.' 11. Col. Conley, of Chicago, at 11 :S0 to-night, completed the purchase of the great trotter Axtell for 105,000. Andy Walsh, of Hartford, and John Madden, of Lexington, offered Will iams 101,000 for the colt, and had a certi fied check for forfeit to offer him. This ho refused, ana afterward accepted-Col: Conley's offer with much reluctance. "It is like selling a child," said Williams. This is the highest prico ever paid in tho world for a horse of any description. Colonel Conley had previously offered $100,000, but Williams would not accept. , ? 1 V me orainary-iooKing lowa nreeaer an- . pearea to do 111 no way exciieu. and so, when at supper. Colonel Conley again offered $100.0UO. he Was not interested. An other syndicato is said to have oflered $101,000, which Williams refused. Tho $105,000 madrt up by Messrs.

I Jjams. president of the Terre Haute Association, seemed to reach his ideas, and the checks were passed. 1 he syndicate who pnrcnasea Axtell is composed of the following gentlemen: W. I. Ijams, Terre Haute, Ind.; A. K. Brush, Detroit: Col. J. V. Conley, Chicago, ana Mr. I. T. Moran, of Detroit. These gentlemen are satisfied that the mile was done easily, and within Axtell's limit, and that his future promises greater events. These men are the shrewdest of horsemen, and the fact that they were oflered $15,000 advance for the bargain testijaeo io ineir gooa judgment. OTIIEUTUKF EVENTS. Great Trotting Match Iletween Harry Wilkes and Belie Haralln. Uarry TVllkea Beaten by Belle ITanilin. New York, Oct. ll.-Tho gioit trotting match at Fleetwood Park, to-dav. between Harry; Wilkes and Belle Hamlin brought out the largest crowd seen on the track in

years. The track was never faster than

when tho speedy flyers responded to the starter's bell. Drivers Andrews nndTurner jogged their charges in review before the grand-stand, and each received loud and long applause. - First HcaP-Driver Turner drew the nolo for Harry Wilkes. The word was given at the second attempt, with Belle Hamlin a L. A. I T 1 Buurb uecK in xne van. narry liKes, However, soon took the lead, but at the Quarter was only a neck ahead. Both were trot ting perfectly. Going into the back stretcr., the mare shot out like au arrow, and at tho nair was nearly two lengths ahead. .Between the half and the three-quarters the gelding closed np the gap. but only on sufferance. Hounding the stretch they were nearly noso and nose. The whip was used. on Harry Wilkes frequently, hut to no purpose. The mare won easily. Tt me :33. 1:0534, 1: x4. 2:104. Second Heat The first attempt at scor ing saw the trotters under tho wire in a start devoid of favor to either. Harry got a lead of a nose, but he lost it, and took Belle's dust to tho wire. Neither made a break. At the eighth the mare was threequarters of a length in the lead and going easily. At the quarter there was no change, but between there and the half Harry lessened tho space between himself and the mare. Coming np the hill it was neck and neck, but in the stretch Andrews let the mare out. and she won the heat and race in a jog. Wilkes was under the whip in me nnisn. out; ne was no maicn 10-aay for Belle. Time :S3. 1:0G4. 1:42'. 2:194. National Jockey Clnb Races. Washington, Oct. 11.

This was the second and probably the last extra day of the fall meeting. The purses were mainly of the consolatory order. The nota ble event came in the third race, a five-fur long dash for two-year-olds, and tho glo rious uncertainty of racing was fitly illus trated when Punster, jr., tho despised outsider, whose opening price was $T0 to $1, sped past the post first by a length and a half. .

Fifteen thousand people attended the Fairfield county fair yesterday, which number was augmented to over twenty thousand last night to witness the races by natural-gas light. Probably no, moro novel scene was ever before presented on a race-course. Twentyfoot stand-pi pes at shoit intervals encircled the half-mile track, and dotted the entire grounds, with larger stand-pipes within the track. The two largest wells in the country, with capacities of 23,000,000 cubic and 15.000,(100 cubic feet, respectively, were turned on to complete the illumination. ln the midst of this display. Work Morgan's famous trotter, Guy, without a running mate, attempted to beat his record of 2:1034, Millard 1. Saunders being driver. He could only mako 2:214, however; equivalent to 2:17 on the Cleveland mile track. .BASE-BALL. The Flooslers Easily Overcome the Champions of the Association. The exhibition ball game between the Indianapolis and St. Louis teams, at the League grounds, yesterday af ternoon,resulted in rather an easy victory for the former. The local men outplayed the visitors at all points, especially at the bat. Rusie was in tho box for the Hoosiers, and his deceptive curves were quite a puzzle to the big batters of the Browns. Ho struck out six men and held the visitors down to live hits, two of them being scratches. His command of the ball was excellent, only one man reaching first on balls. Milligan, who stands second in the American Association as a batter, struck out twice and failed to make a hit. Soramers gave Rnsio splendid support behind the bat, while the fielders backed him up in good style. None of the error charged to the local men were costly and all were excusable. Chamberlain was an easy mark for the homo team. Captain Glasscock, Sommers, Seery and McGeachy leading. Tho Hoosiers began to hit the ball in tho first inning, and sent three men across the plate. Seery led off with a hit, but was caught at third trying to reach that base on a single by Buckley. A passed ball sent the latter to second. Hines got his base on balls, and then Glasscock put the ball against the fence in center field and went to third, from where he scored on a clean single bv Sommers, who was forced out by McGeachy. Denny had been previously retired by Chamberlain. The visitors were retired in order in tho first three innings. In the fourth they bunched three short singles and scored one run. The home team clinched the game in the fifth, when four men made the circuit after the side should have been out. In this inning Seery got his base on Robinson's error and stole second. Buckley and Hines both fouled out to Milligan, Denny fol

lowed with a fly to right field which McCarthy muffed. Seery scoring on tho mis-

piav. uiasscocK louowea wun a single, and he and 1 )enn v crossed the nlate on a twobagger by Sommers down the left-field foul line. McGeachy hit safely and Sommers came nome. ine noosier ngni nemer biuio second and got to third on a passed ball, Bassett waited for a good ono and, as ho did not get it, took first. He played off toofar, however, and was caught napping.. The local team had men on bases several times after this, but no one scored. In the ninth Denny's fumble. Robinson's sinele, a wild pitch and sacrifice hits by Milligan and t'oyle allowed the Browns to add two runs to their score. , Yesterday's game clearly demonstrated the superiority of the League over the Association clubs, if the work of the Browns was anything like the ball they play, as a rule. The St. Louis team is in no sense a match for the local club, and there are not more than three or four men in the organization who are fast enough for the League. Take Comiskey. O'Neil and Milligan out of the team and there would be nothing left that would add any particular strength to the weakest club m the League, barring the pitchers. Score:

Demand or the Hall-Flayers. Boston, Oct. 11. Pitcher Keefe, of the New York Base-ball Club, and the secretary of the Brotherhood of League players, was hre yesterday, aud his opinion on the war that seems to be impending between the players aud magnates was sought. He was very non-committal, but remarked that the players had vital grievances, and that there was no reason why the League should be trusted after the way it had previously violated faith with the players. He said: "We want the abolition of the classification of players, and we want the sale of players entirely don away with. It is not true that wo want a share, in the purchase money." .. . . ; Inanswer to questions, Mr. Kecfo said that the Brotherhood would hold a meeting before the League meets, and woulclprobably appoint a committee with full powers which would appear before the League at its meeting to find out what it intends to do for tho players. When asked if tho Brotherhood had determined to launch out for itself, he said: "You had better wait until the League holds its meeting if von want to find that out." Mr. Keefe said he did not see why the Brotherhood could not make a success of such a movement. Tho public will go to see the best ball-playiug, no matter who is at the head of the movement. . Fogarty Awarded a S250 Watch. Washington. Oct. 11. Last spring a watch company offered a prize of a gold watch valued at 250 to the player in tho National Base-ball League who succeeded in making the best percentage in stolen bases during the past season. Mr. Young, president of the League, finds that Fogarty, of the Philadelphias, has secured the prize. Cincinnati Pitcher Released. . j Cincinnati, Oct. 11. Elmer Smith.pitcher, has been unconditionally released, to day, by the Cincinnati Base-ball Club. He has pledged himself to play with Kansas City next year. MURDER IN A CONVENT. Two Priests Charged with Causing" the Death of a Student Other Murders Committed, , Marienfeld, Tex., Oct. 11. A Catholic convent murder has come to light here. J. H. Peters and Henry Andrews, two priests, preside over a convent of boys here. . Three weeks ago James Gross, ono of the students, escaped and told of the murder, last August, of Lorcnz Esser, ono of his fellow-students by the two priests. Tho body was secretly burifid at night by Father Fetersaud four of the students, and the grave was concealed by burning brush over it. oon after the murder Father Peters and the four students left for parts unknown. . justice of the Peace Coons held a privato inquest at the time of Esser's death, and found the boy had killed himself by hanging. Coons never mentioned the aii'air nntil Gross made his statement. Coons is a strong Catholic, under the influence of the priests. Coons claims Esser was found hanging by an eight-inch , rope . in his cell. The body was exhumed and an investigation ueforo Judge Allen showed Essers's neck to bo broken, which could not have been caused by a fall of eight inches. Father Andrews and Justice of the Peace Coons have been bound over to the grand jury, and search is being mado for Father Peters. Gross says other murders have been committed. He was taught that tho priests had a right to commit murders, and he escaped for fear his turn would come next. CELEBRATED WITIT 'WHISKY. Terrible Finale to a Wedding AnniversaryDeath from Alcoholism and Starvation. St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 11. For a week Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Ambrose have been missing, but their absence attracted no very particular attention until yesterday, when Ambrose's half brother, by whom the latter was employed, attempted to find him that he might repair his engine. Upon entering the rooms in the tenement where Ambroso and wife lived, a horrible spectacle Was presented. Mrs. Ambrose lay dead on 'a straw pallet on the floor, and in a corner of the room lay the husband in the final stages of delirium tremens. The body of the woman was turned over to the coroner, and Ambrose was taken to tbe hospital. The phvsicians say he will die. A week ago last Thursday Mrs. Ambrose informed her neighbors that that was the tenth anniversary of her and aud her husband's wedding, and fold them that they had arranged to celebrate tho event in "grand style," as eho expressed it. Ambrose laid in a stock of whisky, and he and his wife celebrated the marriage anniversary by drinking, keeping it up whenever thev awoke from their drunken stupors for t.ii days. During tho weeks succeeding neither of them ate a mouthful cf food. The neighbors of the unfortunate couple say that Mr. and Mrs. Ambroso were in the habit of getting drunk for ten days at a time about every two months, lhey would lock themselves in their rooms and admit no one.

THE FLI-FISIIERME-TS PLANS. Talking Abont Their Coming TournamentSome of the Details for that Event.

The fly-fishenncn met in their rooms on East Market street, in full force, last night. General McGinnis occupied his usual place in the president's chair, and ranged around the room at distances convenient for smok ing and plenty of elbow-room for fish stories sat Edward N. Newmeyer, Albert T. Beck, B. H. Lucas, Dr. T. S. Hacker, G. A. Millard, George P. McDougal, M. D. But ler, B. G. Fi6hef and Dr. F, O. Clemmer. Some of them are recent , additions to the membership of the organization, but 'took an active part in the discussions of the evening. The ono topic discussed was the coming tournament, which is to be given Tuesda3T night in Tomliuson Hall. The entertainment has been lone talked of. and is advocated more as an efiort to arouse general interest in flyfishing than as a means of advertising the club. Evervthine will be in readiness to im-, press the public as favorably as possible. The lower floor of tho hall will be cleared of all the chairs, and in the center will be placed a canvas tank fifty feet long and twenty wide. In it will be run six inches of water, the shallowness being decided upon not so much as a matter of economy, as of protection to those who will stand on the banks of this artificial lake and throw flies for prizes. It is possible a few live fish will be placed in the tank to make the sport more realistic ana interesting. There vill be three classes of prizes for accuracy and distance. The first will be open to amateur ny-hsherniau not living in Marion county, the prizes being a split bamboo rod, by M. D. Butler, and a creel, by General McGinnis. The second, open to all amateurs of the United States, and. if competitors desire, of the world, will be a gold medal, oflered by Julius Wall, and a Bray fishi ug book. The latter prize will bo given to tue contestant who makes the second best record in tho contest, and who has never before taken a prize. The third and last class will strive for two piizes of fishing tackle, oflered by Col. C. S. Millard, to be given to the members of the club, but limits to those who have never before taken a prize of any sort. It Is probable that the entire club will compete in this Class. Tho members became involved in a lengthy discussion over the minor details of the entertainment. Ono feature which Will attract considerable attention will be a camp scene in one cud of the hall. On the bank ot the tank will oe pitched a tent, near which members of the club who will be barred from competing for the prize by their past records, will have an opportunity of adding to the interest of tne.occassion. They promise to show those who come - just how fly-fishermen live after a day's sport. A meal will be cooked, and around the camp-fire stories will be related and past experiences recounted. The by-laws of the club require r -laws oi me ciuo require e based upon a personal act. The only lying perthe floor of thenalL ' all such tales to be knowledse of fact. niitted will be on "But how about the advertising!" asked one member. "We want to give the entertainment a good send-off, you know." "I have attended to that matter." replied General McGinnis, "and I feel very gratified at the result of my labor. 1 called at the counting-rooms of several daily papers and the business managers promised to give us $5 worth of advertising in their columns." "That's good," said Mr. Butler. T knew the papers would do the right thing by us." "les." interrupted Dr. Clemmer. "and I move you that this club extend a vote of thanks to all the papers for tho free adver tising they have ottered us." "Fiee advertising!" asked the president, with au evident manifestation of astonishment. - "Yes," replied the Doctor, "didn't you say they nan promised to give us worth!'7 "Oh, yes; but they meant, of course, if we. pay for it." ' . . "Oh. that's different." replied the Doctor. siuewhat subdued, as the lauch went . around at his expense; "but I'm bound to get a vote of thanks in somewhere. 1 move that one be sent over to Col. Millard. if he can be found in one place long enough to take it, for the prizes he ha& ollVred." Aiicjuuiiuu uicvaiicti uuuuiuiuuBiy. huu the club adjourned with as much anxious expectation for next Tuesday night as is stirred up in the small boy's heart lor the coming ot the 4th of July.
