Terre Haute, Ind., August 9 —Beautiful ateather and a splendid program attracted fully 5,000 people to the four-cornered track yesterday. The betting was lively, naoet of which was done the evening before the race In auction pools. Especially was money bet freely in the 1:17 elasi. trotting, the Dillon backers being satisfied to get their money on at even money against the held. Among the horses that •ante to the front In the 2:1$ class, pacing, was the fast mare Alleen. 2:«7Vfc that holda the world's record for four-year-old _ mares, and the phenomenal green horse Earlmont, that was unplaced in Monday's race here and Wednesday defeated a large field In fast time and took his Initial record of 2:10%. These fast candidates from Kentucky had the call on the pools, and In the opening betting Alleen sold for $20. Earlmont $18. Brown Hal. Jr., $14. field $20. Earlmont paced two miles that were nothing short of sensational, and in addition to breaking himself down, raced Alleen so hard in the opening heats that she lost all chances for the race. In the first heat Alleen and Earlmont raced as is pair to the quarter (n 31% seconds. The great pair covered the second quarter In :30%. and when the five-eights was reached, the clip was too warm for the mare, who went to a break and allowed Earlmont to JOg home the last quarter. The time afc the three-quarters was 134%, and the mile was 2:10%, which makes the time of the last quarter only $6% seconds. Had any horse been able to drive Earlmont out he would without doubt have taken a record of 2:07 or better. The second heat Earlmont broke just after getting 4he wotd, and by. the time he recovered hla stride, Alleen was more than a distance In advance. Earlmont mowed down the field one by one and paced the last half in 1:01%, and was only beaten out by an eyelash In 4:11%. Earlmont gave Brown H»l> Jr., a hot chase In tho think heat to* the head of the stretch, but he went lame and broke badly, and left the Way clear for the Tennessee horse, which won this heat and the next two

and the race.

Baron DlUoti. the fast four-year-old son of Baron Wilkes, that drove a hors-j out In 2:11% last week at Joliet, was an even money favorite over the field for the 2:17 class-trotting, and Justified his backers by winning after forcing Maggie Bherman to step a fast second Seat Baron Dillon reduced his record 3% seconds. Rubenateln was conceded a victory In the 2:07 class, pacing, but the Baron Wilkes horse was not at his best and refused to score the second heat, delaying the start, and when he did get away he was driven hard the entire mile to defeat Coastman, m 2:07%, who was only a neck in the rear. Rubenateln seemed to be better the final heat, could step away from the Bourbon tee horse at will, which Cole realized.

Oentry for Thursday of next week. Telegraphic negotiations are being conducted and it is probable that the match will 1 be either completed or abandoned by tomorrow night. The offer of $3.00u, divided 60 and 40 per cent., is still open, and the club is willing to make other inducements. The club also still offers $1,000 additional to Robert J if he will start in the three-cornered race. Patchen has beaten Robert J twice in as many weeks, and yesterday, under the most favorable circumstances and with the advantage of partial Judges (so telegraphic reports say) and the benefit of a foul drive. The average time was not so fast as at Cleveland, but, considering the circumstances, the victory was more emphatic. The particular emphasis in the victory makes Patchen the only horse now that can give John R. Gentry a race, unless It be the Western mystery, Fidol t who has not found a horse that could beat him In a race this season. Secretary Graves expects the owners to mafce their decision before K becomes time to ship the horses Saturday. Coleridge, 2:05%. the Indiana horse that has been the sensation of the Grand Circuit meetings, reached the Indianapolis track yesterday. Mr. Hardy, his owner, says that, after going two bruising heats at Cleveland, it began to rain, and then hail fell, and Coleridge took a slight cold. This so told on him that he could not win the last heats of what turned out to be a greater race than was anticipated. Another thing, Coleridge was a favorite, and every other horse in the large field was driving to beat him. And in the third heat, he had to take a race with a comparatively fresh horse In Ben D, who, however, lost the heat to Paul. A number 1 of other good horses have reached the track. —•% — r SAMUEL, DOUGLASS IX TROUBLE. He Is Said To Be a Bigamist—How He

Special to The Indianapolis News

Washington, D. C., August Samuel Douglass, who represents himself to be a citizen of Indianapolis, and for whose apprehension; the police of this ciyr are now scouring the highways and hedges, will probably be confronted with other and more serious charges, after he shall have been taken into custody. Until to-day the. illegal shortcomings of Douglass were suppcsed to have been limited to the attempted negotiation of a worthless check, and the failure to deposit in bank some $500 given him by his wife for that purpose. The story of this latter transaction is bz lolly told in the elopement to Baltimore of Douglass and Miss Mamie Brus•ius, daughter of a Ford Theater victim, where they were married. Subsequently Douglass obtained pdsaessCon of all his wife's available assets. To-day the soih> what astounding discovery was made tlfai Douglass, although young in years, was

A pale-faced little woman, dressed neatly In black, came to the Grand Hotel ten days ago and ‘registered as Lula Huntington. For several days she has been calling on pet sons of prominence and relating a story and making requests that ha/e Je<* them to fear that her mind is unbal-

.—- w — aiicerl. Last evening she called at the State a veteran in the masteries of matrimony nk of Indiana aftej| banking hours and

and wife robbery. Two of his wives have been found in this city, another is said to reside In Georgetown, and a fourth in Indianapolis. ; It appears that something more than a year ago Douglass formed the acquaintance of Mrs. Anna Van Loo, a widow, whp gave IhStructforis on the guitar. Thrown toother by business relations of such a pleasing character, Douglass and Mrs. Van JLioo were married and went to Indianapolis, where Douglass declared he had great expectations. The husband demoted his energies to obtaining possession of what spare change Rts wife controlled, • and is said to have Invested it-In liquor. Whqn the actual cash was no longer forthcoming, Douglass negotiated temporary advances, using his Wife's diamond rings, witch an;d other Jewelry a* collateral. Filially he was reduced to the extremity of pawning her mandolin and gave a chattel mortgage on her piano. He wired to a sister of the wife to send funds for her fare to Washington. When this source of securing revenue failed, he fried the novel experimeztt of writing a postal card announcing bis own death and requesting that money be sent Lis alleged better t© defray the expenses,pf t bls own

burial.

While residing in Indianapplis, Mrs. Douglass Was confronted with the startlihg rumor that her husband had another wife in that city, but she did not at thatq tttne, so far as known, investigate the matter. Including cash and valuables,* it is estimated that Douglass got some $2,000 by his marriage with Mrs. Van Loo. He returned to Washington and married Miss Brusslus, who had some money. In attempting to transfer the wife’s funds to his own pocket, an estrangement occurred,and he deserted her, with all the amount he had already secured. A week ago Mrs. Van Loo left the qlty, and her whereabouts are at present unknown. Douglass has not been seen since thfit time. Mrs. Van Loo’s friends are considerably worried' over her disappearance, and fear that Douglass has surreptitiously found her and induced her to again live with him. Mrs. Van Loo ,1s fully a dozen years the senior of her husband, being thirty-eight or forty years old, while he is not more than twenty-six or twenty-seven. Not Known In Indianapolis. No one answering the description of the Samuel Douglass named in the dispatch Is known in Indianapolis. There is one Samuel L.

THE FIRST GAME TO-DAY. Some BrUk Playing Starts It—Large Crowd Present. « Special to -The Indianapolis News. Ball Park, August 9.—About 2,000 people came out to see the double header between Indianapolis and Detroit this afternoon. During the game the crowd kept on coming. Pears went in to pitch for Detroit. The rooters were noisy and shouted, “You can't win these two.” In the first inning, Hogriever went out from Gillen to Strouthers. Roat got a safe hit. Canavan flew out to Newman. Fisher pitcher for the home team, and seemed in fine form. Newman went out on a fly to left. Nicholson struck out. Dungan got his base on bails. Campau flew out to Hogriever. In the second inning McCarthy hit to the first baseman, who put him out unassisted. Newell bunted, and would have got to second on an overthrow by the 'pitcher, but was knocked over by Strouthers. He stole second. He was out on McFarland’s hit to third. In the second half Strouthers struck out on the first three balls pitched. Gillen flew out to McCarthy; Raymond went out from Newell to Motz. The side was retired on five balls pitched. In the third Fisher went out from Strouthers to Pears. Hogriever got to first on a bunt. Hogriever stole second. Koat struck out. Canavan retired the side on an Infield hit. In the second half Twineham hit a hard ball to second, which Canavan stopped neatly. Pears went to first on a hard hit to Newell. Twineham got to first on a hit, but forced Pears at second. Twineham scored on a three-base hit by Nicholson, who a moment later scored on a hofiie run by Dungan to middle. Campau struck out. No runs were scored In the fourth, fifth or sixth Innings, and It began to look as if Indianapolis would be shut out. Is. the seventh McCarthy led off with a three-base hit, and scored on a scratch 1:1'. by Newell. Hogaa bunted to first. McFarland sacrificed. The score was tied on a hit to center by Fisher. The side was retired on a double play. The score hy Inritgs at the end of the seventh was: Ii d’.anapolis .....0 0 0 0 0 0 3-3 Detroit 0 U 3 0 0 0 0-3 In the seventh Indianapolis made two.

Upon being refused the money, she said she would 30 to the hotel and cut her throat. Later In the evening she called at the borne of Governor Matthews, and asked to bg permitted to talk with him. She was not permitted to get to him, but to member of the family she related the story of her supposed troubles, and said that tin less friends came to her reifibe Hhe would have to take her life. : . She called at : the Governor’s offtae at 11 o’clock to day, arid made another request to see tho Governor. She was told that he Was ou( of the city. She went oyer her story to Private Secretary King. She said she was born In, Shelby county, where she stlU has relatives. When two years old she was taken to Texas by her parents. She was educated in the South, she said, and in her conversation indicated that she had a wide acquaintance firith prominent Southern people. She said that through the influence of the late Senator Gibson,, of Louisiana, she secured a position in the pension department ’at Washington. Early this year she lost hsr position. She declared that all her former friends have deserted her, and that she is constantly under mesmeric influences. She said to Secretary King that Just now she is in need of money, which she must have. She has been staying at the Grand Hotel ten days, and has no money with which to pay her bill. If she could get some influential men to go to the telegrapn office with her and telegraph friends in Washington and elsewhere, she believes she could get aid. All hfcr wealth, she said, was being taken from her by designing persons. She declares that the newspapers were In the conspiracy, and she asked that the State come to her protection.

To the coroner’s office each day corns one or more men with a theory on the Ida Gebhard case in West Indianapolis, which they want investigated. The coroner says that he does not know the exact population of West Indianapolis, but he should think that fully one-third of the people over there have come under the suspicion of somebody else as having had something to do with the murder. As in none of these oases reported has there been the Slightest evidence, there are no developments expected. . 1 ; ‘ ' r >' : f ; I.inaon Released and Arrested. John Linson was released from the work-house this morning after serving his sentence for drunkenness, but he was put in the custody of constable W.

The warrant was Issued by Justice of the Peace Lockman gome time ago, ready to be served at the expiration

When constable Parte* arrived at Justice Lockman’s court, he made out an affidavit declaring bis belief that Linson U insane.

Confuslon and delay of justice In earthiQ cases are attributed to the fact that many of the United States commissioners in Indiana are such in name only. The rules of the Federal department require that a parson arrested by a Federal marshal shall be taken to the nearest United States commissioner for preliminary hearing. The law is Interpreted to mean that the Government wants to give a prisoner .a chance without unnecessary delay or Inconvenience, stnd without u&necsspary expense In the way of mileage and fees. In the conditio.1 of the present commissioners’ courts in Indiana, Ike intent, 4he Federal officers say* frequently falls. There are In Indiana seventy-seven persons listed In the Federal books as United States commissioners. This ii fourteen more than there are in Illinois, Including Chicago, and ten more than there are In Ohio. Besides each oil these two States has two Federal dictricfc courts. The large number in Indiana is accounted for by the appointments made in 1888, and attributed to the influence of W. w. Dudley. One day, In the heat of the campaign*, just before (he election, a report was circulated that Democrats in-

tended to arrest leading Republicans or. the day of the election and carry them ort before remote commissioners for trial. Before they could return, it was argued, it would be too late for them to work at the polls or even to vote. There was a consultation of Republicans, and the appointment of more commissioners was urged as a measure of Justice and precaution. Many appointments were made, and the appointees were distributed ail over the State, so that a person arrested would not have far to go before arriving at a court. There proved to be little need for the commissioners, but many of those named for that emergency are still on the nominal list. In fact, some of them never qualified; many never served, and only a few of them prepared to do Government business by procuring the necessarypapers and blanks. A few days ago a deputy United States marshal made an arrest and brought the defendant to this city. When the papers and fee bills reached Washington the department wrote back wanting to know why the prisoner had not been taken before a certain nearer commissioner. The marshal replied that the nearer commissioner referred to was no longer in business for the United States, but was dead. Several of the commissioners whose names are carried on the lists are dead, others have removed from the State, and still others have never qualified. Once or twice the marshals reports that they have taken prisoners before men who did not know* that they were commissioners. The United States district attorney Is looking into the subject to see if it is advisable to ask to have the list corrocied. HOW THEY GOT THE HORSE OUT.

The Jenney Electric Light Company is in its new building on the Belt, at the east side of the city. Larger quarters are found to be necessary, and another building will be constructed. There is considerable activity in real estate in Englewood. James Taylor has bought the Roach house, built by Frank Wright; William Bader has bought Chas. Baden’s house., and A. H. Wilson has bought a house and lot from Fielding Brewer. , Many East End citizens are hoping for speedy improvement of Washington street to the Belt road. The present sewer and asphalt extends to Rural street, lately the corporation line. The Water Company has agreed to extend its mains in the streets to the Belt, and the city is making the preliminary surveys for sewers with a View to asphalting the street next season after the sub-work has been completed. Messrs. Brush, Seville, Frier, Roach and Wittmer, who own the lots outside the city between the Belt and the Brookville road in Washington street, have agreed to Improve the street with asphalt and cement walks when the city completes the improvements to the cor-

poration line.

An automatic mechanism provides for the varying width of the type, for the spacing and alignment, and for the moving of the carboard at the end •f the line, The cardboard fully covered with characters represents one solid column of copy, and is ready for the electrotyper.
