TERRIBLE TURK BEATS AUSTRIA!!
Turk Wins Two Falls in Succession in an Easy Manner. GETS TWO CHALLENGES. BUSCH AND LASALLE, THE LATTER A FRENCH CANADIAN, AT RINGSIDE LASALLE TAKEN FOR NEXT WEEK.' Having disposed of a German wrestler, Monogoff, the Terrible Turk, last evening at the New Phillips defeated an Austrian wrestling champion. If there are any other national champions from Iceland to Fiji, hanging around this section of the globe pining away for battle Mr. Monogoff stands ready to accommodate them. Next Thursday night at the coliseum the Turk will meet Joe LaSalle, a French Canadian heary weighL" Delawuck, who was exterminated last evening by the Turk, is called the "mad wrestler of Austria." It is probable that he was quite peevish over the easy manner In which big Bob disposed of him. Delawuck went to the mat the first time after nineteen and a half minutes of bear hugging. The Turk picked him up and spun him about in the air a la John Flanagan throwing the sixteen-pound hammer. When the Turk dropped him to the mat there was no question but that he had been thrown. It took sixteen minutes for the Turk to put the Austrian In the clear a second time. This was accomplished by first tielng Delewuck in a bow knot then turning a cart wheel with him. The name of this hold is not to be found in Webster's dictionary, so the reader will have to do without it. After the Austrian had unraveled himself and retired from the limelight, Buscb and La Salle climbed into the ring and told the fans they were not afraid of Monogoff and would like to quarrel with him next week. Busch wanted to meet bim Greaco-Roman. La Halle states it makes no difference to hlra how the match is arranged. BASKET BALL TEAM. Greensfork Organizes and Meets Webster Tonight. .

This . afternoon the Richmond and Hamilton high school teams are giving battle to each other on the public school play grounds. Both teams are quite evenly matched. Coach Horton has the local team in fine fettle while it is stated the Hamilton bunch is one of the fastest teams in this section of the country. - . The local bunch made its first appearance in their new uniforms and looked quite nobby. The trousers are of khaki. : Grey Jerseys, the sleeves striped with crimson, and stockings t like pattern, complete the make up. This is the first time in the history of high school athletics that one of its athletic teams has taken the field looking otherwise than a collection of tramps.

PLAY IS SLUGGISH AND COACH VAIL WILL ATTEMPT TO WHIP TEAM AROUND IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. Old Earlham is decidedly pessimistic over the outcome of the EarlhamPurdue game this afternoon at Iafayette. Coach Vail appears to have the material this year, but the men have no ginger about their play and their work, as shown in the Antioch game last Saturday, is decidedly sluggish. Probably before the next two weeks Vail will have the team whipped into line but as it now is it is impossible. No doubt Purdue will run up a big score on the Quakers this afternoon, If Earlham holds' the Boilermakers to thirty points or less, all local football fans wilt be greatly surprised. In the Earlham squad that left this morning for Lafayette were Francis, Walthal, Swain, Stanley, v Lindley, Johnson, Gaston, Beebe, Hill, J.

In spite of the popular impression to the contrary, ships remote from the land are seldom damaged by lightning, although some of the most awe inspiring displays of atmoepberic electricity are frequently witnessed by those on board of them. . Standing rigging and even parts of the running gear are now made of steel wire, and this substitute for the old fashioned hemp serves the purpose of lightning conductor when the ship is not fitted with such an aid to safety. The electric current is conveyed down the wire rigging ind reaches the sea through the vessel's metal hull. Damage occurs only if the current be Interrupted on its way down. In a comparatively large proportion of instances the fore royal track is struck by lightning, that of the main less frequently and the mlzzen least of the three. Very serious casualties under this head occurred to warships and merchant vessels in tbe days of wooden hulls and hempen rigging. In July, 1802, as thirteen sailing vessels of the East India company were trying to round the cape in the vicinity of Algoa bay, homeward bound, two of them, the Britannia and the Bombay Castle, were struck by lightning. The foremast of each 'was soon enveloped in flames.'1 and the masts had to be cut away in order to save the ships and their combustible cargoes. 1 A heavy gale was blowing, tbe night was dark, and the other ships of the feet, which were hove to at the time, were witnesses of this thrilling incident. " 'Many vessels are now fitted with lightning conductors of approved types lest the wire rigging should fail to carry off the electric current. In May, 1896. shortly after a severe thunderstorm, accompanied by lightning and rain, in 3 degrees south. 8? degrees east, the P. and O. steamship Victoria had a sudden Increase of deviation amounting to 6 degrees in both : the standard and - tbe wbeeihouse compasses, and later It was discovered that the lightning conductor on tbe fore had fused. The : ship must have been struck by lightning during the storm. Caowledge Magar.lae . . .-

TALES OF THE DERBY Mysteries of the Famous Classic of the Great . . , . English Turf. SCHEME THAT WENT WRONG If it. were possible to write tbe fan and true history of the Derby It would contain some startling revelations of strange doings behind the scenes of which the public has little suspicion and no actual knowledge. There is, for instance, little doubt that a very different tale would have been told of Teddlngton's Derby but for the prompt action of his wide awake owner. Sir Joseph Hawley. When the Kentish baronet attended tbe York spring meeting of 1851 he was amazed to find tbe bookmakers eager to lay odds to any amount gainst his colt, who was looked on as a certain winner of the blue ribbon a few weeks later. Sir Joseph at once scented mischief, and, leaving the course, he traveled as fast as relays of swift horses could take him to his training quarters, where he communicated his suspicions to Alec Taylor, his trainer. As the result of their deliberations Teddington was at once removed to another box, placed under the1 charge of a different boy and a strict watch kept over him night and day. What ever scheme was on foot to disable the horse was thus effectually checked, Teddington soon resumed his place as first favorite in tbe betting and, as everybody expected, won the Derby with ease. Another mystery which has not been feulved to this day is associated with Leander and that memorable Derby of 1S44. It was more than suspected that Leander was a four-year-old, but there was not sufficient evidence on which to base an objection to his running. In the race his fetlock was broken by a kick from Running Kcln, and he was effectually placed hors de combat He was shot and buried, but when a party of sportsmen who wished to test their suspicions dug up his body at dead of night they found that the head, which alone could settle the matter, was gone. Ratan, the second favorite for this race, was made safe by a cunningly devised bolus, but who administered It was never discovered, and, to crown this Derby as the most shady and fraudulent on record. Running Rein, who ' came in first, was found to be none other than Maccabeus, a four-year-old, and thus an Impostor of tho first water. But when it became necessary to produce the horse for an examination by experts It was found that he, like Leanders telltale head, had been spirited away. . In connection with Banning Rein, by the way, a dramatic story is told. A Captain Osborne bad backed Orlando for a very heavy sum, and when Running Rein came in first be was faced with the alternative of blowing out his brains or being declared a defaulter. He was just on tbe point of choosing .death rather than dishonor when a note was placed In his hand. "Running Rein." ran the missive, which was from a friendly tout, "is an impostor, and he won't get the Derby stakes. Buy up all the bets on Orlando yon can get, and you will make a fortune." Tbe captain put away his revolver, followed the tout's advice and. Instead of providing work for the undertaker found himself 18.000 in pocket Few horses have ever started a hotter favorite for the Derby than McTHE PALACE 45 CENTS vM
THE THEATER!
"Ragged Robin" a Success. "Ragged Robin" is a one-man show, but when that one man is Chauncey Olcott, one is ail that is needed. Of course there has to be at least one woman to make the plot go through, but the other characters practically are supernamiharies as far as the limelight is concerned. The delightful play was presented at the Gennett theater last evening to an audience that appreciated the work of the star and applauded both his dramatic efforts and vocal work alike. Olcott sang a number of new 6ongs and was generous with his encores. He was anxious to please and the audience reciprocated in no mean measure. But there is this about an Olcott production. The music interspersed throughout the piece lessens the interest in the play and makes the dramatic situation less intense. After a somewhat melodramatic utterance in which the audience's passion is aroused by the actor, he breaks away suddenly and with a bow sings 'a rollicking love melody. Olcott is supported by just as able a caste this season as a one-man production dare carry to prevent dimming the brilliancy of the star. Miss Florence Lester as Margaret portrays the character splendidly. Jerome Edwards makes a strong Martin and Andrew Grattan is typified in a competent manner by Mark Price. The life of the play is provided by Charles McCarthy as Lanty Lanigan. ' The scenic effects are excellent. They are especially fine in the representation of the Gratton garden and the great peat bog scene. While the fairy element is strong in the story of "Ragged Robin,, it is purely Incidental. The story in Itself is of powerful human interest and rests on the loves of Robert Harcourt and Margaret Grattan. Robert, known to the country-side as Ragged Robin, has been driven from home and disinherited by his father, through the machinations of a foster brother, Martin Darcy. He becomes a minstrel, welcome everywhere for his gift of song. In his wanderings he comes to Inishannon and meets pretty Margaret, with whom the fairies are determined to unite him. Under the spell of the well fairy they are drawn closer together to the jealous rage of Darcy, who is abou to marry her through her father's coersion. Robin is driven from the house into the world again, and the fairies show their anger by sending a Uregor iu IjTO. So rosy were bis chances that odds of 0 to 4 were laid n him to an enormous amount and the money was considered as good as won. To the consternation, however, of his backers, he seemed unable to move freely in the race and finished a bad fourth behind horses who were net in the same century with him. There was no doubt whatever that Macgregor had been drugged, but who the rascal was who did the dastardly trick is as much a mystery today as It was st the time. It Is of this race that the following remarkable story is told; During tbe night before the race a jockey called. Swift saw tbe finish of tbe Derby In a dream. Be ssw Kingcraft, which he recognized, pass tbe post a winner by a length and a balf, followed by a dark brown horse which he could not Identify and with Macgregor, tbe favorite, a bad fourth. In spite of the jeering of his friends, to whom he told the story, be backed Kingcraft for every sovereign be could raise, and, to his delight as to the disgust of tbe scoffers, he saw bis dream exactly reproduced 4be favorite badly beaten and the despised Kingcraft winning a small fortuae for him. 'Even more remarkable is a story of that great Derby race of 18G2, won by the despised outsider Caractacus, ridden by Parsons, the stable lad. Although Caractacus was so badly thought of that Jim Goater point plank refused to ride him and odds of 40 to 1 were freely offered sgalnst him, a tipster gave him as a certain winner on the strength of a dream in which his blind daughter bad seen tbe horse win "with a little boy on his back as pale as death." How vividly accurate was this dream forecast was admitted by all who saw tbe finish of that sensational race. London Tit-Bits. ' v A Magnifying PinhoU.

Mystery and music spells the bill at the New Phillips theater this week. The famous Hindoo Mystery under ( the direction of Charles Ted McCon-l logue. In this act the patrons of the house are promised more mysterious and sensational tricks than have ever before been presented here. The act closes with the complete decapitation ! of "The Hindoo Princess," which is one of the greatest spectacles that an; act of this nature has carried. Lovers I of the occult will be able to drink their full in this performance. The Davenport brothers and Miss Emily Frances will present a one act musical confdy, "The- Wrong Man, or Left Behind at the Finish," which is one of the most pretentious affairs attempted on the circuit. Miss Frances has come from a season of success as leading lady in large companies and her assistants in this number are capable and competent musicians. Depew-Burdette Stock Gennett. Richmond next week will enjoy a dramatic treat in the famous DepewBurdette Stock company which comes well recommended to the Gennett theater for a stay of one week, starting Monday, Oct 12. Plays that have never before been seen in Richmond will be presented. Mr. Depew, that very funny comedian, will be seen in a most enjoyable line of parts, with Miss Msy Boyce, a well known actresB in leading roles. The opening play for Monday will be "The AmeriI can GlrL" Crooodile Worship. It was in tbe very ferocity and ter rlbleness of the crocodile that tbe Egyptians found the inspiration for the cult they devoted to him. They, were mightily afraid of the monster and therefore Instituted in his honor the supposedly appeasing worship as though they had said. "Be good enough not to eat us and we will build temples to you and bow down to you as to a god." Tbe students of early history bare clearly proved that the earliest worships of every sort took tbe shape of offerings intended to appease the elementary forces of nature, or the real or imaginary beings of whom men were afraid.
