JUST AS IF IN SLEEP.

BEAUTIFUL SERVICES AT TBI FUNERAL OF CATBStlME I.. VILBECK.

Fnnareal Gloom Displaced by an Air of Sweet RepoM, Consolation and Tenderness In Or. Holmes' Eloquent Address.

It cannot be that the last sad rites over the dead could leave a deeper impression than did those at the funeral of Catherine Louise Filbeck yesterday afternoon.

In her lingering Illness, with mind as alert as when the body was in full vigor she expressed freely her views of life and death, rarely as if they might pertain to self. And yet the loving ones who had kept vigil during the days and months, could not but believe that when the soul had taken its flight that the oft expressed views that "trappings of woe Bhould have no place where as the departed would have wished it for herself-.

The sweetness and simplicity of it all touched hearts that would not have beat responsive to the ordinary habiliments of sorrow. On the couch the dead giri lay as if calm in sleep. A the throat there was a bunch of violets and strewn over the snow white gown and cover were garlands o£ roses. There was here and there on the floor at the bedside a stray rose bud as though carelessly dropped. The room gave no hint of death for everywhere in the utmost profusion were wreaths and bunches of flowers, gifts from the countless friends of the young woman whoBe rare qualities of mind and heart had bound them to her with hooks of steel.

This was a most touching and beautiful scene. It was not life and yet it was not like death and the pure figure on the couch made one feel as if he saw a faint star hanging above the horizon between earth and heaven, softly melting into the depths of the sky.

Not until the last words were said, the beautiful songs sung by Dan Davis a? the Mendelssohn quartette, was the body placed in the white casket and borne tenderly by th# pall bearers. Messrs. D. W. Henry, D. W. Watson, S. M. Reynolds, Sheldon Anderson, Will Hamilton and Geo. M. Allen to the white hearse.

THE PEERLESS INDIANA.

Her Snperlority Over England's Latest Battleship. Since the new first class barbette battloBhip Magnificent of the British navy was launched at Chatham dockyards, the experts on shipbuilding of all countries havb devoted a good deal of time in commenting upon and criticising the new vessel, says the New York Evening Sun.

They have, almost without exception, used the French ship Sardegna and the American battleship Indiana as their standard of comparison, though some have used the battleship Re Umberto of Italy, and the Royal Sovereign of Great Britain.

Even the English constructors who have ipoken of the Magnificent have agreed that the enthusiastic English constructor who stated that tho Magnificent was the most powerful vessel afloat, was wrong, and almost without exception they point to the Indiana as superior to the Magnificent.

Viewing the Indiana and Magnificent purely as engines of war, the Indiana is, in the opinion of shipbuilders, the better vessel of the two.

The principal dimensions of the Magnificent are: Length between perpendiculars, 890 feet length over all, 420 feet. Her extreme breadth is 75 feet the vessel's mean draught is feet. The displacement is 14,900 tons.

In the matter of engines, the British ship has four triple expansion engines, which, with their twin screws, are supposed to develop a speed under natural draught of 1GV& knots and under a forced draught from 17»4 to 17',£ knots. Her coal carrying capacity is 18,000 tons.

Armor and battery are the things upon which the claim of superiority are based, and they are certainly better than any ship ever before built in foreign ship yards. It is in the matter of the armor and battery, however, that the designers of the Indiana have been most particular and they say that the Indiana is far superior to her English rival.

The Magnificent mounts four 22-inch breech loading rifles, twelve 6-inch rapid fire, sixteen 12-pounder rapid fire and twelve 3-pounder rapid fire guns, or fortyfour guns in all.

Out of this battery the Magnificent can flre eight guns either ahead or astern, and with these eight guns she can throw 1,659 pounds of metal.

Here the Indiana's superiority is demonstrated. Her battery consists of four 13lnch breech loading rifles, eight 8-inch breech loading rifles, four 6-inch 26-pound-er rapid fire guns, making in all thirty-six guns, or eight less than the Magnificent.

With these, however, she can throw 4,954 pounds of metal either ahead or astern, which is 3,325 pounds more than the English battleship can throw.

In the matter of firing abeam the Indiana's superiority is demonstrated by the fact that with twenty-four guns the Magnificent throws but 3,575 pounds the^, American ship, with four guns less, throws 6.660 pounds, or 2,095 pounds more than the Englishman's pride.

It requires three minutes under battle conditions to fire one round from a 12 or 12-lnch gun, and the ships would be Just

beautiful and were very tender and consol ing to the grief stricken relatives, whl elevating and impressive to the large, circ: of friends before him. He spoke of tho impossibility of telling why such bereavements came, why one full of promise of usefulness to the world and of honor and success should be taken away while others of much less merit and ability lived out their days. To believe that God had taken her away as a token that the living had failed in their duties or sinned would be unjust to Him and making Him seem revengeful and narrow. We cannot know and can simply say with tho prophet of old, "The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away." There was cause for gratitude that this beautiful life had been a blessing on earth so long and its memory would ever be'' a cherished possession. 'The speaker dwelt upon the high character and aspirations of the lost daughter upon whose face in its classic beauty in the repose of death was seen the refinement and lines chiseled by thought and the culture pursued with an earnest and strong will. She had shown in her youth an interest in religious duty and had expressed.it in beautiful and earnest words and in her illness she had shown a prayerful and resigned spirit. Her last messages had shown a tender interest in the cares and sorrows of others. She had said to her mother, "Be very good to the poor" and had sent a last me&age to a distant relative of large means to, the same effect. Among other consoling words the speaker spoke of the one who was taken away as having but gone before, to watch and wait for those who were left until some day all would be re-united again.

the American could throw 6,376 pound* either ahead or astern and the English could only throw 4,494 pounds.

Firing abeam as fast as possible with all available guns, the Indiana could throw 12,558 pounds, while the Magniflcent's score would be but 8,440 pounds.

Ab regards armor, the thickest portion of the Magnificent is 14 inches, and the Indiana has 18 inches of Harveyized steel at her thickest part. The steel used in both navies is practically the same, and if thefe is a^y preference it must rest with the American product, for the Harvey pickeling process is an American Invention and has been longer in use on this side of the water.

With all of the Magniflcent's forty-four guns trained seaward and flred simultaneously, she would throw a weight of metal the total of which would be 4,295 pounds, while the Indiana, under like conditions, would throw 6,920 pounds, or 2,625 pounds more than the English ship.

Some constructors regard it as very remarkable that theIndiana, which has 4,679 tons less displacement than the Magnificent, should have an equal coal carrying capacity, and a heavier battery, and yet make the same speed, but this is due largely to the lightness of the machinery.

The English guns are generally supposed to be lighter than those of American make by reason of the fact that the English use the wire wound gun and the American has the built-up hoop gun.

Experts on gun building, however, state that there is very little to choose between the two styles of guns. For, while the wire winding makes a lighter gun, the guns made on the hoop plan last longer.

Taking the twd ships bit by bit and comparing them the officers of the navy think that tpe advantages tip the scale toward the Indiana and leave America the possessor of the most powerful vessel afloat.

HE WAS LEFT IN THE LURCH.

Rase Betrayal of a St. Louis Young Man by His Ideal Woman. The queer actions of a young man at the court house yesterday caused considerable comment among the clerks and habitues of

the building, says the St. Louis Republic. Early in the morning he waB noticed standing in the main corridor, furtively scanning the faces of all who passed. Occasionally he would leave his station under the big dome and walk rapidly to each of the four main doors of the building and look up and down the street, returning shortly to his place in the center of the corridor. If lady passed he would gaze at her closely and then follow her at a respectful distance until ho saw which of the many offices she entered. He did not attempt to speak to any of the ladies, but it was evldent from the way he watched them that it was a lady that he was expecting. In the course of the afternoon two ladies at 'different times entered the marriage license office alone, and each time the young man followed them in and stood inside the door until he learned the nature of their business and then resumed his former po* sition in the corridor. Several times he asked the marriage license clerk if a lady had asked for Edgar Morgan, and upon being told that no one had inquired for him be quietly left the office.

Late in the afternoon upon being interrogated by a Republic reporter, he told the following story "My name is Edward Morgan and I live on a farm about three miles from Bonne Terre, Mo. I own the farm and am pretty well off. I am not married, but for a long time I have been looking for a woman who answers my ideal as a wife. I have been unable to find her until about a week ago, when right in my own house I found the woman I was looking for. She was small and dark and the handsomest woman I had ever seen. I can shut my eyes and see her now. The way 1 found her was this. I had not been able to sleep for several nights, when about midnight last Sunday there appeared to me the loveliest vision I had ever beheld» and I knew at once that I had met my Ideal. Four times the vision appeared to ffle and last night she consented to be my wife, but she would not tell me where she lived. She said for me to come to the courthouse at St. Louis, and she would meet me here today. I came to town this morning on an early train and came direct to the courthouse, but so far she has not shown up. Something must have happened to her or she would have come, for she promised me she would meet me here today."

It was suggested to him that his vision of loveliness was likely a dream, but he became very indignant and scorned the idea. Up to 6 o'clock his fair one had not come, and when the courthouse closed for the day the young man sorrowfully left.

MISS BURKE'S MUSCLES.

She Is a Itesil Pugilist and Uas Challenged Another Venturesome Sister. Miss Rosa Burke is a woman remarkable

in many respects. She is not of unusual height—she measures five feet and one inch from the tip of her shapely head to the sole of her foot—nor is her weight—one hundred and sixty pounds—a remarkable one. She lives in New York.

Her muscular development is her strong point and no pun is intended. Her forearm is ten inches, her biceps twelve and onehalf inches in circumference. She measures forty inches around the chest, and has an expansion of two and three quarter inches. Her neck is fourteen and one-half inches around, and the calf of her leg half an Inch larger. Her waist measures twenty-six inches and her wrist six and a quarter. She has a No. 4 foot and No. 8 ankle. Her age is just 24 and she is known to contemporaneous fame as the "Female Jim Corbett."

This young lady has adopted boxing as a profession says the New York Journal. She has fitted herself for her profession by a long course of study which has made her a thoroughly accomplished boxer and given her a degree of self-confidence and courage that enabled her on one occasion to krock a tooth out of her husband's head. As this feat was accomplished in what was known professionally as a "friendly bout," it is possible to conceive of what would happen if she were to tackle anyone in dead earnest.

She has put her knowledge of the gentle art of self-defense to practical use, and has already given boxing lessons to certain women of high social standing in New York.

The "Female Jim Corbett" has more than a dozen medals that have been given her for various fistic exploits and triumphs, and she has challenged Rolla White to meet her in the ring with gloves of the regulation size. Rolla White Is the venturesome lady who not long ago sent a challenge to James J. Corbett, and the subject of this sketch is sure that she can fight her to a finish In one short round.

This athletic and undauuted lady always travels with her husband. It Is pleasant to know that she earns more money in a year than the average bank president, and that she has paved the way to fame and fortune for a great many struggling members of her own sex who have hitherto been engaged in culinary pursuits, never dreaming that the great modern profession of prize fighting and boxing was open to theiA as well as to their husbands, lovers and brothers.

WHY A WEDDING WAS DELAYED.

Two Ushers .Were Overcome at a Bachelor Dinner anil Couldn't Serlre. In the beginning it was the bachelor dinner. Previous to that the two ushers had been respectable and sober young citizens. But at the dinner they drank champagne and champagne and champagne, and then more champagne. To the bride they drank it, and to the groom, and to the bride's family, taking each member separately, and to the groom's family, tfi the same way, after which the minister remained, so they paid their respects to him and followed him up with his family, member by member. By this time the other ushers had stopped drinking and the best man had long since dragged the groom off and put him to bed. But the two ushers sat and drank to each other until they were in a frame of mind where they did not care whether school kept or not, and said so with thick emphasis. 'f

Eventually they went back to their hotel together In a cab and because it was 4 a. m., and the wedding was to be at 11 they ordered up Scotch whisky and soda—"for a settler" they said, and played freeze out poker until 9 o'clock. After that they went out to a drug store, where they imbibed ammonia cocktails and other delecterlous concoctions until, as they Informed the drug clerk, they felt like a pair of knockout drops.

This was the state of the case as told by the New York Sun": That by virtue of the druggist's concoctions they were very sober as Ibng as they remained upright, but as soon as they bent over to put on their shoes they became very dizzie and sprawled upon the floor, only reaching their normal condition again by the kind assistance of the furniture. They went to the church looking very serious, and proceeded to usher to the best of their ability.

If they had only remembered about those shoes all, would have been well. For a time they ushered with exemplary propriety and dull glassy stares of impeccable respectabilitly. Then it happened that in coming •own the aisle together after having put ccrtahi members of the bride's family in their proper places, they brushed against a rosette of white ribbon which designated the special seats and it fell on the floor. This was the place at which they should havte' passed on unheeding. But they forgot that they were sober only under certain conditions. Simultaneously they

3. The cost in Mexican money. 4. The customs paid to this government. 5. The interest on investment, and the living profit. 6. the possible drops in silver Before the goods are sold.

On this kind of pyramid imported goods are priced to the retail purchaser in Mexico. The sixth consideration is elastic.' One merchant will make the prudential margin for fluctuations more than another Will. Then, too, this margin varies with the character of the goods. If the article is one of ready sale the merchant decreases the fluctuation margin. If it is something seldom called for, which may remain in stock for months, the merchant increases the margin. Hence it is that some things are double in Mexican money what they cost in the states some are treble and some are quadruple.

The unthinking will tell you that the silver question in Mexico affects only such goods as are imported that home produots and home manufactures are not affected. They wholly forget that in the states competition with foreign made goods brings down the prices of the home made goods. They never estimate how much lower Mexican manufactures and products might be put to them if this barrier of the silver standard did not exclude the competition of the foreign made.

When thfe Mexican merchant marks up his imported stock to cover all considerations he is not thereby inclined to figure more closely on Kis Mexican made goods. Labor is cheap—the cheapest thing except sunshine—^in this favored land. The manufactured products of this cheap labor are fairly reasonable in price when compared with like products in glod standard countries, but some of them are sold on the widest margins of profit known to the manufacturers and merchants of any country.

The business houses of Durango are fairly representative of the republic. This is one of the oldest and most flourishing of Mexican cities. It has a mining constituency it is the heart of a fine agricultural region it distributes the products of various manufacturing industries. The figures given herewith were obtained, not from one^ but from several of the leading merchants of Durango. They were furnished in response to an official request, and with care as to details.

FRANK SLAVIN

(joes Down In the Fifth Roand Before Steve O'Donnell. New York, Sept. 21.—Steve O'Donnell defeated Frank Slavin in the fifth round at the Empire Athletic Club in Maspeth, L. I., tonight They met for a twenty-round bout.

Slavin was a 2 to 1 favorite at first, but, on a' rumor that he had injured himself while punching the bag, these, odds dropped and there was fair betting at 7 to 5 in his favor. When the men entered the ring, both looked to be in good condition and each weighed about 182 pounds.

Round 1—Slavin led off with right on body. Both exchanged lefts on neck. In a clinch Slavin landed left on* body and O'Donnell sent a straight left on face. Both men then roughed it and fought wildly. O'Donnell assumed the aggressive and landed his left twice in quick succession on face. Then they exchanged lefts on face and In breaking away O'Donnell hit Slavin a hard punch on the back, which staggered him. O'Doilnell again sent his left twice to the face and had the better of the round at the call of time.

Round 2—Slavin was very awkward and O'Donnell got in left and right on the head. Both men fought rapidly, exchanging punches on head and body. A hard right from O'Donnell made the blood flow from Slavin's.nose.

Round 3—Slavin led off with left on face and both clinched. Slavin landed left on neck and right on head. O'Donnell jabbed left on face. They exchanged lefts on face and clinched. When they broke O'Donnell came back quickly with straight lefts on the face without a return.

Round 4—Slavin opened with a hard left on the face. He then went at O'Donnell in a wild fashion and the fighting was of a give and take order. O'Donnell then sent his right over the jaw and Slavin backed into his corner. O'Donnell smashed him right and left and the bell just saved a knock-out.

Round 5—O'Donnell w^nt at his man in a slam-bang fashion, raining blows on his head and neck. Slavin .fled painfully around the ring and Paddy Gorman, his second, jumped through the ropes to take him out, but the referee warned him back. Gorman then said: "JTrank is dead there is no use in hiB going on any longer." In the meantime, O'Donnell kept hammering away with both fists and he soon had Slavin'B face pounded Into a jelly. Two heavy rights on the head and a left on the neck sent Slavin against the ropes in a helpless condition and then the referee pulled the men apart and stopped the contest after the fifth round had lasted one minute and thirty-five seconds.

The referee awarded the fight to O'Donnell. Slavin wants to meet O'Donnell again, claiming the injury to his back caused defeat.

Corbett and Sharkey to Fleht. San Francisco, Sept. 21.—Thomas Sharkey and James J. Corbett are to fight ten rounds in this city for a purse of $12,000. This afternoon the board of supervisors granted a permit to the Eureka Athletic Club to give an athletic exhibition on Thanksgiving evening in this city. It was announced that the principals in the contest would be Sharkey and Corbett. The battle will be fought in the mechanics' pavilion.

Through the keyhole of the door at the front of the church the best man contemplated them with horror, while he assured the groom that everything was going on beautifully. The bride was waiting. The people were waiting. The groom was getting nervous and the best man was fighting against collapse, hut the two Sat with their heads in their hands and thought and thought and thought Then, because there was nothing else to do, the other ushers seised them and carried them forth into the fresh air.

Beatty received a bullet through, his helmet and Armorer Richardson was wounded in th6 body. He has since died. On board the Tamai five men were wounded, on the Aboukler six men were wounded and one man was wounded on the Metemmeh. Commander Colville is recovering rapidly.

At the time Wad Bishara Was wounded, he had just received a letter from the Khalifa and ordered out of his tent everybody except the messenger who had brought it and two blacks. Shortly afterward a shell from one of the gunboats burst in the tent, killing the messenger and the two blacks and wounding the Dervish leader in the chest and head.

The main body of the Anglo-Egyptian troops, under Sir Herbert Kitchener, started for Dongola on Monday night.

El Hafir, via Kerma on the Nile, Sept. 21. —It Is reported that Bishara, the commander of the Dervish forces, has reached the vicinity of Dongola on his retreat from this place and Is preparing to oppose the Egyptian advance. Wad Bishara's wounds are severe, but are not mortal. The Dervish troops are deserting in large numbers to the Egyptians.

Queen Victoria has telegraphed her congratulations to Sir Herbert Kitchener, the sirdar of the expedition.

Major Jackson's battalion has found In the desert an enormous quantity of ammunition, Including a number of boxes of Nordenfeld ammunition, which are known to have belonged to Hicks Pasha's ill fated force which was annihilated in the interior of the Soudan in the former war with the Mahdl.

DANCE AT DUENWEG'S HALL.

Young People Enjoy the First Ball of the Season. A party of about twenty couples enjoyed their first dance of the Beason last evening. The dance was planned by a number of young men of this city in honor of the R. P. I. boyB, who have returned from their summer's vacation, and their young lady friends. The dance was given in the commodious hall in connection with Professor Oskar Duenweg's school of dancing. The events of the evening were looked after by Professor Duenweg. The music waB furnished by Mr. George Rogers. The evening was a perfect one for dancing and it was not until a late hour that the young couples finished the programme of twelve dances. Those present were Misses Nellie Cox, Laura E.

Commander Beatty Telia the Story of the ro- la Which the Dervishes Wera Rpated.

SI Haflr, via Kerma, on the Nile, Sunday, Sept. 20.—The following official details of the capture of Dongola, the Dervish stronghold, hate been obtained. The gunboats engaged in the capture of longola were the Tamai, commanded by Rougemont, after Naval Commander Colville was wounded Aboukler, commanded by Beatty, and Matemmeh, commanded by 01dfleld.„, They arrived here late In the afternoon Com mander Beatty, who assumed command of the three guns, reports as follows: "We arrived at Dongola early In the morning and made fast to the east bank. By this time Colville was able to resume command and the operations against Dongola began with bombarding it at three hundred yards' range. We immediately perceived that Dongola was not defended and a force was landed, which captured a quantity of treasure, all the Dervish books and also seven grain laden boats. I was now able to see the effect of the Dervish flre on the gunboats. The Metemmeh was struck by one shell, which injured her gun fittings and her boiler, breaking the safety Valve. The Dervishes' rifle flre was essentially good. The wooden parts of the upper decks were simply riddled and the sides of all the gunboats showed hundreds of hits."

ITALIAN ANTIQUITIES.

An Underground Trade in Them In Spite of Legal Interdiction*. Some days ago a we:l known dealer in antiquities offered for sale to the Louvre museum, in Paris, a splendid collection of ancient silver vases from Italy or Greek or Italian workmanship, says the London News. The museum was unable to pay the price asked—£ 20,000—and declined the bargain. The Italian minister of education, having learned of thl?, has taken proceedings under the Pacca law against Sig. di Prisco, the owner of these antiquities. The latter is a large land owner at Bosco Reale. He secretly made excavations on bis estate and found twenty-eight silver vases of remote antiquity.

Notwithstanding the Italian law prohibiting owners of antiquities to send them out of the country without leave, or, rath,ert on account of the law which prevents old works of art from commanding any-

their natural price

the im

poverished country, Sig. di Prisco smuggled his find out of Italy and offered it to a Paris dealer for $6,000. Continuing meanwhile his search* fie fc&nd other silver vases, which duly joined their fellows in Paris, and the whole lot waa offered to the Louvre. The Italian minister of education throws interesting light on the facilities which underpaid officials are supposed to afford Illicit exporters of antiquities. He issues a notification that, should any officials be found to have connived atthis latest evasion of the Pecca law, they will be criminally prosecuted.' t, $»* IX THE SIXTH DISTRICT WRANGLE

Nondescript Convention to Be Held at Greenfield We«lne*l«r Indianapolis, Sept. 21.—The Popocrats of the Sixth district are having a monkey-and-parrot time over the congressional situation. It will be remembered that the Populists nominated C. A. Robinson and the Democrats got the upper hand In the New Castle convention and nominated Puntenney. The Populists raised such a howl about this that the county chairmon of the district mat at the Grand Hotel, in this city, and decided to withdraw Puntenney. To their amazement they discovered that "there were others." Puntenney declined to be withdrawn, and as the chairman an^ secretary of the convention wera his friends they made out the certificates of his nomination, and they were filed in the various counties, and will go on the ballot under the sign of the rooster. Now K. M. Hord, the district chairman, has got "rattled" and called another congressional^ convention to meet at Greenfield nextWednesday, though what it can do is be yond understanding. It will probably nominate Robinson, and then an effort will be made to get his name on the ticket in th« Democratic column. In the meantime tho real Democrats of the district are becoming terribly disgusted. Not a single meeting in the district has been advertised as a Democratic meeting, but all have been billed as "silver meetings," to the vast disgust of that class of citizens who are Democrats because they are Democrats. "Eph" Marsh of Greenfield was asked if he was with the wagon still. "I tried hard for a while to be 'regular,' he replied, "but they kept shifting the blame thing around so rapidly that they lost me in the shuffle. First we nominated a Democrat for congress, then they pulled him off, then he decided to stick, and now they have called another convention. If you can tell me how any man can keep up with that, procession I'll be obliged to you."

THE MISSING HANDKERCHIEFS

Llbe Pins Tbey Vanish and No One Knows Whither They Oo. What becomes of all the handkerchiefs That's as burning a question as where da all the pins go, only that a handkerchiel can be worn out, but with pins the mystery deepens and we can only inrulge in vagus surmises as to their fate, says the Philadelphia Times. Now, with handkerchiefs it is different. They are large enough not to slip away from us, but they do—by hundreds, fairly. We are buying them constantly and when we consider one has only one nose to buy for it seems impossible fol us to need so many. And the cost? Fof any sort of a one we pay 50 cents and 50 cents—well, it counts up mightily at tho end of a year. To be sure, there are cheaper ones, but after being washed once they come out an ugly yellow or gray, jUBt because they are not linen but poor cotton thread. They are uncomfortable things to carry about, too they are so undeniably shoddy.

If you do get economical and say to yourself that you will purchase and use an inferior quality in this article that cheap ones will be plenty good enough to lose, you will lose them without doubt. But, like bread cast upon the waters, they will return to you every time to confound and confuse you. It will happen in this way: While calling on a friend with this miserable little piece of cotton kept well out of sight, as you suppose, you yet manage to drop it A week or so lated your friend will be at your house and, producing this hated handkerchief, will ^ay: "I am sure this must belong to you. I found it by your chair the other day after you left It really must be yours, for it does not belong to any of my family." Of course it is yours and you shamefacedly acknowledge the ownership, but that is the last cheap lot bought and instead you buy a fresh supply of good ones and fondly hope to lose one where you did the last. Trust on, if you will. No such good luck will come. Your pretty, expensive handkerchiefs will melt away, but you will never have an opportunity to proudly claim one as your own. It is only the ones to be ashamed of that are brought back.

THE IRATE MR. CORRIGAN.

Director of the Hawthorn Racing Association Cuts Dp Badly. Chicago, Sept. 21.—There was a meeting today of the directors of the Hawthorne Racing Association, and it came to an abrupt conclusion when Edward Corrigan drew a revolver and drove his fellow directors, Brenock and Burke, from tho room. There has for some time been bad blood between Brenock and Burke on one corrigan on the other. When the meeting convened today they lost no time in starting a row,' which ended by Corrigan drawing a weapon. After the two directors had left Corrigan went on with the meeting and had things his own way. Brenock and

sBurke now declare that they will prosecute Corrigan for what they allege is his mismanagement of the Hawthorne funds. They estimate the value of the mismanagement to be about 5100,000.
