RUNNING RACES.

Tili: Mc-GRATII AND WILKES QUARKKL. HinoRY OF THE TURF PROFESSIONAL GAMBLERS AS H'JRSK tft'SEKS THB CKiROE OK HIRjWINO RACKS rRICE MCGRATH. Aa iulerebtiDg letter U written from Sar-to-o to the Philadelphia Times by Gath: The attack made a few daya 40 by Price McOatb, of Kentucky, upon George Wilk?, editor of a snorting paper founded by Mm in ls5, was iu itsell a trival Incident. Tnett-.ck wm slight, tbe resistance was more tÜ6Cti?e than lue attack, botb men -walked away UDscratched and tbe principal lruit were in tbe unpleasant nutor.ctj, for Sratogo la a well-bred summer resort. Drunkenness Is almott unknown, fighting la quite unknown. It is tbe Kue between professional gaming men and tbe rich amateurs of the turf that is lncideiitilly to Depressed on this fight wherein is confluence. The tnrl in America baa teen twice or thrice in a flourishing condition, but Invariably an Incursion of gambler has robbed it oi respectability. They broke up racing at Barkeley, tbe Sweet and other Virginia springs; they made disreputable the Washington race coarse, where Sir Charles and Kclipee brought together the greatest crowd ever seen In America in the time of John Qolncy Adams; they closed the great careers of Flora Temple and George M. Patcbeu by assailing tbe latter borseon SnT.ilk track. Pniladelphia: they have dis graced tbe Loog Island courses and have well nigh extinguiaoed the reputation ot Moninoutb Pars already. Racing without betting is almost absurd; tho whole world has attached a priz to every race from tbe time Of tbe Olympian games; no law can be fraiued to prevent collateral private wagering; tbe introduction ot pool selling and ol "fliatnal pools," on the French plan, has been In tbe Interest! of order rather than ofdirder. Field pools were first sold at Lexijgton by Dr. Underwood to prevent ght ug over tbe adjudication of stakes held by private parties, nor have we ever had fighting over poola In America ; the auctiOD block bas superseded hallooing and haggling, and the tender of odds or even in sight of the audience. Tbe flght between "Wilkes and McGrath is the truit of THE FIRST PUBLIC CHARGE yet made that the horses, not the pools, are manipulated by tbe owners, and that tbe owner of such horses having been public faro gamblers, are jaet as apt to rob with horses as with dice. Wilkes charges that HcGratb, with the best stable in America, ran hU horses victoriously all the fore part of a season In order to have bis bonea backed by the multitude, and that be then arranged tor them to lose in order to rake la the odds. He privately charges that Tom Bowling was weighted with a bucket of water two years ago and made to lose, and that Aristide. a fortnight ago, was doctored in tbe same way, and ber owner, betting privately against her, won enormous sums of hk i.ev in tbe pools. Mr. Wilkes addaces no evidence lor either charge, except bis belief, which be founds upon the previous reputa tion of McGrath as a faro trembler. Men of the .turf do not generally endorse Wilkes's opinion, and ascribe it to an old contention between Wilkes and McGrath's ex-associate, the well known gambler, Chamberlaloe. But tbe charge is annoying to the rich turf amateurs like Belmont, Lorillard, Sao lord and Doswell, woo have expended and lost large sums in improving tbe thoroughbred stock of tbe country ,and receive little else in return than a fair raciug season. All these men back their horses liberally; they can not be heated, as their steeds must be beaten to make them lone; it the best horse is com pelled to lose by manipulation tbe great rabble of betting gentry is depleted in pocket that motley crowd of liverymen, young heirs, jockeys and "sports" which follows tbe auctioneer and bids on tbe pool. But tbe amateur gentry apprehend that they are approaching the placo where they must Investigate the limitations of . gambling as it is reUtsd to the tarC I will ' go back a tevr years to explain the compli cations of McGrath's assault on Wilkes. The American turf was almost extinct i AT TILE CLOSE OF THE WAR. There were some good colts and sires in the country, but all tbe fine animals had been Jcilled or run down In the conflict. A num ber ot gentlemen in New York, chief ot whom were the brokers, Travera, Jerons, and Belmont, began to Import thorough breds and establish breeding farms. This borae stock erows rapidly, and tbe higher demands ot agriculture made it very valua ble. From caprice, or taste, or commerce, many new men went upon the turf. Long Island, Northern New Jersey, Kastern Pennsylvania, and the bine crass region ot Kentucky were sprinkled with training oourses, Drooa mure staoiee, ana stock farms. Mr. Belmont bas spent 30,000 upon a private track alone. Tbe sum ot 10,000 baü frequently been paid for a race noise In the past, ten years. Kenlucklans, Virgin ians. New Yorkers, Missourlans, and Ala Damians compete together upon tbe annual summer courses of tbe North, at Jerome Park, Plmllco, Saratoga, Lexington, Louis ville, and Long Branch, and it is claimed that 1.000,000 were invested last year in pools at Saratoga, while tbe premiums and sweepstakes amounted to 45,000. A great winner la pet In tbe stud aa soon as be is disabled, and made a new source of profit, so that there are three chances on the tnrl: the prize, betting and breeding. You will find in the same coterie on race day at Saratoga tne Danker, Belmont; the cotton manufac turer, Sandtord; the hemp merchant, McGrath ; tbe ex-slave dealer, McDaniel ; the tobacco merchant, .Lorillard; Morgan, the brother, of the guerilla: the son ot Oeneral Ilarney; Cammack, tbe broker, and two or three regular gamesters. Jerome Park is the great metropolitan comae of the Hortb; it was preceded in point of time by the Saratoga Park, of wbicb John Morrissey ana tue uro iter 1 raver a son-tn-law ol Reverdy Johnson got control. Morrissey'a rival aa a gamester was Chamberlaine, who maae a rival course at Long Branch. These men were inimical to each oter. Daring the war, when the profits 01 gamonng were enormous, M0BRI9ET, CHAMBERLAINS AND M'ORATH bad been partners; after the war they sepa rated, and McGrath went into business with Casmberlalne. Morris s?y erected a great hot si club at Saratoga, kept off tbe turt personally, gained the confidence of the re si lent people, and prospered. Cham berlaine erected a similar club at Long Branch, took control ot the coursa and went on the turf, which be krjew nothing abon Mödrath was an olJ turtrmn, and speedily raised a inagmncent stock larm in Ken tacky, a ad turned into that investment tbe profits on hemp and iaro. The turt grew, until It baa come to comprise above three hundred racing horses, worth probably f 1,000,000. Around it have grown tip a lit rature of sportlog weeklies, stcd books aud racing diaries, and it may b taid to have eclipsed yachting and 1 1 - f e aristocratic brother of bane ball as the national sport. OaorAe Wilkes was the proprietor ot the senior portieg paper among balf a dzen puhli.-hf d in tbe city of Kew York. Ho it a bottiu man in politic, but does not aaia at cirds, and he took au agTensive position soon after tbe revival of the northern turf on the propriety ot men "Who gambled professionally entering horses fortbeee leadicgricws. Twoyearsago his turf reporter, a yonrgnal s bmaa from Epsom, alleged tnt Mi Gr (h'a hore Tom Bowling bad ben given a flying start on Chamber

lalu6'a course as a gambling trick. Chamberlaine took occasion to tear the free badge off Wilkes' reporter. At once Wilkes published a series of articles on Chamberlaine domestic, personal aud neree which resulted iu an indic:ment for libel. The suit was com promised, and tbe quarrel did not break out again until a fortnight ago, when McGrath's brilliant career of the season was suddenly stopped, and bla favorites lot important racts. Wilkes returned to tne attack, coupled McGrath with Coambarlalne, accused theo both ot PLATING VALSB CARDS and selling races, and being no better than highway robbers. Wilkes came to Saratoga as soon as he made this attack; in due time McGrath followed; they stopped at the same hotel. Tbe next morning, after McGrath's arrival, occurred the briet and bloodless collision I have mentioned. Next day Mr. Meli rat b, disappointed in the result of bis shindy, had Wilkes indicted for libel in accusing him of selling a race, with damages claimed at f 25,000. McGrath was also bound over to keep the peace. If this suit is ever tried, and there be anything in Wilks' charges, we shall have tbe first Investigation of tbe northern turf. McGrath ssys he only attacked Wilkes because he woold have been afraid to present himself in Kentucky arier such charges without striking a blow lor himself, lie says his horses were run to pieces before Aristldes essayed the final trial at the Branch, and their failure here in

dicated that they were broken up. Price McGrath is 61 years ot age, ihe heal ot the turf In Kentucky, and a bluff, erizzled. sbrewd man of the world. lie bas won on his victories this year about $50,000. Every one of these turtmen, high and low, bet money, and I do not know that it is considered unprofessional to "hedge" against one's own horse. For instance, if a man knows hi rvree Is broken, aad still being entered lor tbe race, tbe public demand tbe horse to run, should tne owner aeciine to avail himsel of his knowledge. As I never bet, I do not know. But what is betting but advantage? The turt ought to maintain itself without all these gambling accessories, but as it never did. it probably never will. The s Deed of our native thoroughbreds is steadily Increasing, they are saia to oeai me best English time. This year an almost on known horse, Grlnstead, ran down Spring bok, the favorite from last year, and Me Daniel's stable loses Its superstition. STARTLING STORY. TUE NATHAN MURDER AGAIN. REMARKABLE TALE OF A POLICE OFFICER THE CLUE HB WORKED DISAPPOINTMENT AND r ISO RACK HIS REWARD IMPLICATION OF WASHINGTON NATHAN AND OFFICRBS JORDAN A77D KELSO. On Friday afternoon's session of the Leg islative Committee on the revelation of crime in New York, Mr. Sydney n. Conk ling, formerly a police officer, told the fol lowing remarkable story as reported in the New York Herald: On the mornios of the 2Stb of August, 1870, 1 left tbe station house on dog watch and relieved tbe oflicer whose beat was up Broadway from Manhattan uoi lege to the Athlete's field; at parting he told me that tbe bouse or Mrs. Lora bad been broken into, and that I bad better go up and see about tbe matter: I went up to the bouse nd saw Mrs. Lord, who showed me a small valise and a brace and bit which be burglar had left behind him; the serv nt maid told me that late on tbe alternoon of tbe previous day a man had called at the houe to ask alms, and had remained around the premises lor about two hours; this wa? all the information I there ob tined, except a clew which I discovered subsequently. I noticed in front ot tbe stoop footprints in the soft clay, and alio scratches on tbe marble tiling ot the nauway ; 1 went baek to the station and reported these facts to Sergeant Fitzgerald, who immediately sent me to work up this case; I returned to the house and took up the trail ; I followed the footprints through Manhattanville north to Carmansvilie. tbe nee east to M tcomb's Dam. and lost them at th ; r dge , 1 crossed tbe bridge and again found tue trail on the Westchester side ; tracked it up through Mdrose, and lost it again on the bard pavement; at tbe point at which lost the trail I made inquiries, and learned from a woman wbo kept a candy shop that a man answering In every particular tbe description given of the burglar by Mrs. lord's maid, had called at her place and asked lor money, that she refused, and thereupon he b?gan to smash ber candy jirs: she told me of the direction he took alter leaving ber place. 1 went down to tbe Boston road and again found THE TRAIL, followed it to Harlem bridge; then lost it again; here I bad to trust to guesswork and, while wondering what I'd do, I walked to tbe orner of 125th alreet and Third ave nue, here I Imagined I saw in a soft por tlon of the sidewalk, prints of the shoe nails, wbicb I bad noticed at tbe bouse, and whicu kad aided me in keeping up the chase on cbaiioa I went over to Eighth avenue, and tbere stood tbe man, on the corner in front of the Adriatic Hotel; I knew him by his boots; I accosted him and asked him where be was going; be said to Troy, and asked me why I bad spoken to him; told him he was wanted at tbe station house at Manbattanville; he then made a break to a.ude me, but I drew a six shooter on him and be was persuaded to return; when brought him to tbe station the sergeant locked him up, and I took off one of bis shoes and weut up to Lord's to compare it with the track in the clay; tbe print of six heavy naila in tbe toe were as plainly viaioie as tne footprint itself; I then brought him up, and the girl recognized him; he could be easily recog nizee; he waa a man six foot two and a hilf inches, and very stoutly built; tbe next morning I b ought brm to court in Harlem before Judge McQuade, and tbe Judge re manded bim to tne station house, tbat might get more evidence against him; when I searched him I found a key in his veat pocket, which fitted the vails 3 found ud at Lord's place: my prisoner asked me if the kay fitted the big, and I told him it did; he tben asked me It I bad found a duster in tbe bag, and I told blm I bad; said be to me. " l'hht damned linen coat will haDg me;" the coat bad tbe BLOODY MARKS OF A HAND which was minus a second finger; in two different places the marks were as plain as could be, bat they were not dark red, as stale blood generally is; as I bad some doubts about tbe blood I went over to Hoffman's drug store, and Mr. Hoffman examined tbe coat and told ins the .stains wer9 blood, but that socae one had attempted to erae ibem with beeswax; before I brought my mm l headquarters I took an illustrated paper Into bis cell and laid It down on the table; it had a picture of Washington Nathan calling for help from the stoop ot bis houe in Twenty-third street; I saw the icon, whose name was Michael Ryan, pick it up and stare at it Intently tor a tew rr.o ments and then throw it from him under the table; when I returned lie eaid be bad noseen the papfr and did not know where it wai, but finally ho producodlt; shortly after the paper episode he paid to nr, "Do you intend to stick tj nit?" I all "You bet I do," and tben he grumble! a little and said, "It is a shame a poor man should suffer for a rieb man's crime;" up to this time I bad never even hinted at the Nathan murder to him. I then brought him to police headquarters, and saw Jordn, who ant me to eee K!,o; l

torn A.elso just what I bave now related, and 1

told him i thought it would be best not t bow Ryan the coat; be told me he was cap tain, and I had better keep my thought ta myself; may be I would like to be captain ; if so, be would give me bis shield; bo then ordered Rvah to be bronght into tbe office. P2 be did was to show blm be coat and ask him tf be ever saw it beore; Kyan said be bad not, and be was re manded to bis cell; he was kept at head quarters for about two hous, and tben I was SENT BACK WITH HIM to J uJge McQuade: Judge McQaade told me when I went to him that I had better go and see Washington Nathan ; I went to his office, No. 25 Water street, and asked for him; he not in; I waited for bim, and when he returned I told bim my story and asked had seen a part ' ot it which published in the Herald; me very coldly, and said him if he had been be treated he bad something else to do besides takng notice ot the stuff that appeared In the newspapers ; his manner made me a little mad, and I said to him, "Mr. Nathan, Mtbia man opens bis mouth he's going to make jou sick;" and after this remark of mine he took a ittle Interest In me, and beard tbe rest of the storj ; when I was leaving he said to me, "You keep this away irom the papers and I'll see you ;" I didu't wan to be seen; wanted to get tbe murderer; so I went to Morristown, N. J., and saw Mr. Frederick Nathan; I met him in the garden, and told him I bad something very Important about his lather's death to tell; that I had been to see Washington, but be had too much business to bear me: Frederleb dropped bis cane, turned pale. and said, with much feeling, "what! business before my father's death!" I picked up his cane, handed it to blm, and tried to make some explanations aboat Washington's conduct, as I saw it affected him very deeply; I told him bow anxious I was to nnd tbe man, and wbat I bad already done, and he said, "Ihank God, tbere is one man on the New York police wbo wants to do his duty;" he asked me If Washington bad told me of a waiter be employed named John Ryan, wbo had a brother named Micnaei ityan, wno used to work with a Mr. Chapman, at Chester. Fa.; I told bim he bad not, and be kindly told me tbat if I would CALL ON HIM next morning he would pay my expenses to Chester, In order that might see Chap man; these occurrences I reported to Capt. Davis. I went to the station next morning prepared to goto Chester, Capt. Davis or dered me on post immediately, and told me if I did not let the Nathan matter drop he'd bounce me; I went on du'v. and subeeauentlv. when I went to beadoaarters. Jor dan said to me, in tne presence 01 Kelso, "it y - . ... . " you don't drop this Nathan business you won't wear tbe buttons bours." l was present at beadquartes when my prisoner was identified by an old lady and gentleman wbo bad Been bim ride from Morristown bebind Mr. Nathan ; the servant girl ot Mr. Nathan's house In Twenty-third street also identified him aa tbe man who, the day be fore tbe murder, bad called to inquire about John Ryan, bis brother; Washington Na than refused to go into the same r jom with Kyan, and Ryan said be wouldn't go to see wash Nathan; 1 met Judge Uardozo In com pany si b Judge MxQuade in tbe Harlem court house during tbe time I was working un the case, and Judge Cardozo said to me You bave got tbe best case 1 bave beard ot yet; ' be asked me wbat theory I bad about tbe 00 check tbat was found on Mr. rsa tban'd table, acd I told him , MT THEORY was that Washington had drawn up the check and waked bis father to sign it, also tbat be bad men in tbe room to slay bim ii he refused; he refused, and the men or man did tbe work be or they were brought tbere to dc; Judge Cardoza said, looking me straight in his eyes, "If I were looking tor tbe murderer of Mr. Nathan I'd arrest you." Tbe duster, I suppose, went to tbe property clerk at headquarter?, but I don't know; tbe brace and bit went to Captain Davis house: tbe duster was much too Final for a man of Ryan's siz it wouldn't fit me; everybody tried to bluff me, except Inspector Dilks, and one lay while I was talking to him in his loom be was fired at ; I also received a letter Signed "A Fttend," stating that if I did not give up tbe chase I'd get a blow some night, and wouldn't know wbat struck me; 1 forgot to state tbat Fred. Nathan told me when be saw the duster, that he cor Id Bwear he bad seen it at bis table. While I was bringing Kyan from Harlem be tried to jump off the cars, and told ma If I bad not been so quick there'd have been some brains and blood on the track; I was never called on to testify against Ryan for burglary, nor for the murder or Mr. Nathan, and 1 don' know wbat happened to him; he was in Judge M-.tuade's care. Tbis finished tbe most startling chapter of criminal history ever given to the public. OVERRULED. . OPINION OF JUDGE HORATIO NEW COMB IN THE INJUNCTION SUIT. REVIEW OF THE ALLEGATIONS FIVK POINTS IN THE COMPLAINT THROWN INTO THE WASTE BASKET, AND THE PLAINTIFFS OB TAIN TWO-SEVENTHS OF A FRESH GRIP FACTS ORDERED FOR SATURDAY. Judge Newcomb delivered an oral opinion yesterday alternoon at 3 o'clock, before many listeners, in tbe Journal's Injunction suit against tbe state officers and tbe Sent! nel Company. He regretted at the outse that be not been able to give more study to tbe case and commit his opinions to writing. In bis decisions he took up seriatim the seven allegations in the plaintiff's com plaint, and disposed of them on demurrer as follows: He first answered the jurisdic tional oblectlon raised In the demurrer by referring to a decision of the Supreme Court In the case of English vs. Smock, in the 34th Ind., and by the Ohio Supreme Court, in a similar case, the language of which be read "The board of commissioners is a court ot inferior and limited Jurisdiction, and it is well settled, both on principle and by au thoritv. tbat when statutory powers are conferred on such a tribunal, and a mode o exercising those powers la prescribed, tbe course pointed out must be strictly pur sued, or the acts of such court will be 'coram non ludice' and void. When such court bas been Intrusted with tbe exercise of discretionary powers, and the acts done are within tbe powers conferred, and have been performed in good faith, than no court possesses power to interfere witn or control finch discretion." Adams, on Kqnity, Bays "Ine same nrincip'es are equally arri cam to all persons wbo bave been authorized by tbe legislature to do specific ac's. which without such authority they would be in coirpetent to do. So long as they are act i"g within th3 precribed limits, the Court of Chancery has no control; but 1 tbey exceed tbose limits, then, so lar us tbe excess is concerned, tbey have no authority, and if their acts be of a nature to warrant an Injunction, It will be granted agiriit teem." Then followed THKSIVEN PCIJttS. 1. The objection raised that tbe specifi tions woro insufficient, as the amount of work to be done was not 6tated definitely Tbe language of tbe act was somewhat ob ecu re. He found the commissioners bad undertaken to decide what work should be done, and give list of publications, an under three heads do actually specily the

kinds of work. It wa not ncessarv for them to gle an exact estimate o"r th

amount to oe done, as much was not really under their control. He did not think, therefore, there wm any force to the objection. a tbe advertisement conformed mh. stantlally to tbe ordinance. Ubjpction that the work was not let to the lowest responsible bidder in each three classes separately is not important be cause the word contract does not necessarily refer to the three classes distinctly. The contract let as a whole could not be illegal tor tbe terms of the ordinance do not specify as to that. It is for the commissioners to decide whether th Acr err Per at A bids ot any one party may not be best for tbe state. Another reason why the irjanctlon would not lie on thia t w th plaintitta, in appearing as tax payers, must show injury, and If in point of tact tbe state nas a lower contract in tbe aggregate, than if the contract was let Mnmtiv thn ik plaintiffs are actually benefited. uoiecuon mat the commissioners have right to reject any and all bids. Thia Haim is certaluly illegal. They can not arbitrarily reject bid?; but even tbat is no ground for an injunction. because everv man 1 unnnnuwl to know the law. He understands tbat hioid wben made is to be and he can not. in a case of this respect ed kind, wait 1111 tne bids are in and have been opened, injunction to tbis nd then apply for an court. 4 Tbat tbe bid was not let to the lowest responsible bidder. While tbe court does net feel able betöre the facts to decide npon this point, and is of tbe opinion that a bid n the acerecrat mlht he thn nhAanAnt. till, as the parties are rtresnmed to be equally responsible, and the interests of the taaw require tfce contract to be let as cheaply as possible, the demurrer on this point is not valid, and tbe case should be iurmer investigated. o. Uöjection that two members of the committee were or were to become Interested in tbe company t which tbe award was given, mis is hardly of any force In aw, because the nrdlnanntt does not exclude them on this ground. Tbey might be Interested merely an creditors, and still that could be as plausibly urged against them. o. ipjecuons tbat bids were not opened publicly and in tbe presence ot parties wading, bat privately, to tbe exclusion of Interested biddera. There is nothinor in tbis to Warrant anv inlnnction. aa the law makes no provision on tbat head. 7. Objection aa to alleced fraud and collu sion. While it ran be of no cjnMaasnM what conversation was bad between the Journal Company and the clerk touching the contract, as tbe advertisement specified what latitude was to be allowed, still tbe allegation that the Sen tint l's bid was changed, woold. if sustained by facts, show a waokoi power in tbe commissioners to act. it is intended by tbe ordinance tbat tbere shall oe no chance for favoritism. Tbe judge here rererred to a Snnreme Con rt decision of Unlo In a mandate case wbere similar nrincinlee were involved. OVERRULED. The court, therefore, decided that as there were two allegations ot much Importance, one tbat the work bad not been awarded to tbe lowest biJder, aud another tbat fraud aud collusion had neen used, he thought it expedient to have the case proceed regu larly to a bearing, and would, therefore, overrule tbe deiendant's demurrer. It will be observed tbat five ot the seven allegations in the complaint are thrown out as of no force in law, and tbe prosecution will be practically narrowed down to tbe two forming tbe ground of tbe ruling of court. The case, thus amended, will now come up In the same court on its merits, at which time affidavits will be pre sen ted aad evidence heard. In order to bave the question settled as soon as possible, tbe lawyers caucused on tbe spot, and by ma tual agreement cf court and counsel tbe case was set for next Saturday morning at o'clock. DONALDSON'S BODY. IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SEEN AT CHICAGO BUT THE EFFORTS TO CAPTURE IT WERK FRUITLESS. The Chicago Tribune of Sunday stated: The body of Prof. Donaldson, the unlortun ate balloonist, is now undoubtedly floating in the heavy sea oil the foot of tbe Twenty fifth or Twenty-ninth street. It was dis covered about 8 o'clock last evenine by omcer Uougblin, of tbe Twenty-second Street Police Station, and when seen as it repeatedly, was lilted way above the water by tbe mountainous sea. Tbe body is dressed in a black coat and black pants, and has a black mustache Couzhlin called to assistance several other officers, amone them ityan, Matoney, Manoney and Cass, of tbe Cottage Grove station, and two other police men from tbe Twenty-second xtreet station A jzrappimar-iron and a lone rope was pro cured, and numerous efforts were made to secure ths corpse, but without avail' At one time Coughlia threw tbe book over tbe bxly, it caught in the coat but tbe sea was so strong as to throw the 0 Ulcer flat on the pier, and cause him to be washed into tbe lake. The grappling iron loosed its hold, and tbe body rose , and pitched in tbe great sea, and floated off toward Twenty-third street, where it disappeared In the darkness. There Is a lon pier at Twenty-ninth street, and it ia ex pec od that his body will drift tbere and remain. Officers Cougbliu and Cass are on the alert for it, and at daylight this morninz will endeavor to find it. All the officers engaged in the effort to bring tbe body ashore bave no doubt but that it Is that of Donaldson, as tbere were no other persons but him and O rim wood missing, and the terrific sea which bas been running for the past three days and nights must have washed tbem on tbis shore. The Chicago Times if Monday morning declares that tb body was alterward recovered and proved not to oe tnat or ixnaiason j Baxter, tbe author of "Saint's Rest," has recently had a statue raised to his honor, on tbe base of which tbis inscription ocean-: "Between the years of 1041 and 1060, tbis town was the scene ot the labors ot Richard Baxter, renowned equally tor his Christian learning and pastoral fidelity; iu a stormy and divided age, he advanced unity and com prehension, pointing tbe way to 'tbe ever lasting re9t.'
