The meeting of the Terre Haute Trotting

^Association closed last evening in a blaze

Df glory. Seventy-seven miles were trotted

Hn the 2:12 trot Elloree and Praytell, both

the get of Axtell, went miles better than

2:10 these two won respectively first and

second moneys and Praytell, the five-year-

Dld gelding took a mark of 2:09}s—all being

•world's records.

During the four days fifteen races were

gone averaging a shade over five heats to the race. In the second heat of the 2:18 trot Harry Barrett, four-years-old, by Baron jiij tie Stein, dam by Mambrino Russell, trotted the second heat in 2:10%, deing the record for geldinga of that age.

It is moreover the only race on record *whtre two horses by one sire got first and second moneys. 2:18 Trot, (Cufinintied Thursday.)

It was called, although Parker S. had sold $25 to field $10, Wednesday evening. There were but six starters and the sensation of It was that Parker S., the almost prohlbiI live favorite, as also Maggie Briggs, were distanced. In the second heat Ira Band took 1 the pole from Pinewood at the turn and was never headed. Band. Light Star, Pinewood and Wilkes -were bunched at the half. At |the three-quarters Pinewood was coming fast and paced around the leaders landing 'the heat handily in 2:11%. In the fourth "teat Band was on even terms with Pinewood lat the three-quartecfi. In the stretch the

VArtemas horse tbroke. Band overhauled [Tinewood down the stretch but the clip was 1 a too merry one and Herbert Wilkes nailed! him within fifty yards of the wire and won 1 in 2:12%. The fifth was an easy thing for -4 Herbert Wilkes for, after making two bobI b!es, he captured the heat in a walk. In the concluding heat Pinewood was on even terms with Herbert Wilkes at the half, and leading down the stretch landed the heat in 2:14.

SCHURZ SCORES GAIuLINGER.

Hl6 Rep,y To

Civil Service

New York, Oct* 1.—Carl Schurz has addressed another open letter to United States Senator J. H. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, in the series whioh has grown out of the senator's attack on the civil service law as now extended and on Its supporters. The first portion of the document is taken up with a defense of the writer's political record. Mr. Schurz says his principles have always remained the same, but the parties have changed their positions. He accuses Senator Ctallinger with misrepresentation In regard to the working of the civil service law and indulges in severe personalities in the same connection. Mr. Schurz says in part: "You pretend to great indignation at the wicked Grover Cleveland, who, as you say, 'did not honestly enforce the civil service law, but prostituted it to partisan ends.' Of course, you 'wish your constituents to understand that you fairly yearn for a really' honest' enforcement of the law, and that 'partisan ends' are a horror to your patriot soul. Do you not again presume upon the supposed ignorance of the people of New Hampshire? They need only open the Congressional Record to find that On March 23, 1897, less than nine months after the Republican party had reiterated its solemn pledge, you spoke in the senate thus: 'I do not believe that life is long enough for this senate to investigate the civil service of this government. There is a shorter and easier way, and that is to get rid of the whole thing. I have voted against it (the civil seryice law) in the other house of congress. Lhave voted against it in the senate every opportunity offered, and what I desire is to cast my vote to blot out that statute.' "Thus it appears that you recognize the pledge of the Republican party to enforce the civil service law 'honestly and thoroughly,' and to 'extend it wherever practicable' that you reserve to the Republican party the right to 'interpret' this pledge and that at the same time you urge the Republican party to redeem the pledges binding it to enforce the civil servlqp. law honestly ami thoroughly by blotting out that law altogether. It is a somewhat unpleasant question to ask, Senator, but it taUfet be asked: Is this a position to be taken or a game to be played, by an honest, man And I venture to suggest that it( w*iU be, a sufficient answer to this questiqp. tp cry out that the person asking it is a 'traitor' or a 'renegade' or even, if you please, a 'common felon.' Nor will it be sufficient to affirm that you 'have never voted any other than the straight party ticket.' "As the matter stands, every unprejudiced person examining the veidence before us will find himself forced to the conclusion that you have deliberately sought to mislead and deceive your constituents by telling them things which had been proved to you and which you know to be untrue. You are a genuine celebrity. Your noble defiance of President Harrison on account of a consulship, of which your biographers tell us, and your valiant battles for postofflees and revenue offices hate carried your fame into the remotest corners of New Hampshire. Everyone loves fame. You have it in abundance. Why do you blame me for coveting a little of if? Do not grudge me the passing gleam of notoriety which comes to me through the reflex of your renown in having my name mentioned for a few days together with yours in this public discussion."

The track was in splendid condition and there was fast time and sensational finishes in several races. When the two great pacers made their appearance they were

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 5,1897

KILLING OP QUAILS

TERRE haute hunters getting

READY FOR A BIG SEASON. •iidi The Restrictions Added Bj the Last Legl»5 ]atar«—Sleaanre May Prevent Sale -w

Qame.

This is gaiag to be one of the greatest quail shooting seasons in many years. People who live in the country say that there are more quail to be found this year than ever before. In the years gone by there has annually 'been a wholesale slaughter of quail in western Indiana, but the new law this year will have the effect of checking to a very marked degree the killing of the featherea bird. In Indistaa quail may be shot between the dates of November 10th nnct January 1st, and from the preparations now being made by the local hunters there will be many hunters on the move on the morning of November 10th,-and the crack of the fowling piece will continue to be heard until the dawn of the new year.

The hunters—that is the hunters who' shoot quail simply for their own amusement —are pleased with the new law enacted by the last legislature. The law says quails may be killed (between January 1st and November 10th, providing no quail are shipped out of the state. It is pointed out that the legislature of 1893 passed an act making it unlawful to kill quails between January 1st and November 10th, and that the last legislature made this aCtttional law: "It shall be unlawful for any person to pursue or kill within this state any quail, mffed grouse or pinnated grouse for the purposes of sale, barter or traffic or removal from the state, or to sell, barter, keep, expose or offer for sale, or remove from this state any quail, ruffed grouse or pinnated grouse caught or killed In the state of Indiana." The penalty fixed is a fine of ?1 for every quail, ruffed grouse or pinnated grouse "so unlawfully pursued, killed, soid, kept, exposed or offered for sale, or removed from the state."

It is recalled by persons who were about the general assembly that the men who asked the enactment of this law represented! that many persons from Illinois were in th«J habit of crossing the Indiana line and killing quail by the wholesale for removal to the state of Illinois. There was especial complaint about the hunters who came down from Chicago and overran northern Indiana and persons from southern Illinois who overran Knox and other counties. The framers of the nefw law hoped to keep these hunters out toy making it unlawful to remove from the state quails killed within the state. Lawyers who have looked at the law say there is no doubt that it will serve the purpose for which it was enacted and they are not certain but that it goes further and makes it unlawful to offer for sale within this state any quail killed within the state. Whileythis is not the popular view, many persons have an impression that if the Supreme Court were asked to interpret the act it would probably hold that it prevents the sale of quail in the state at any time.

The men who find pleasure in hunting without killing for the market say they are not 'worried with the controversy as to what the new law really means. They know it is plain that they are to have the privilege of shooting quails from November 10th to January 1st for their own tables and those of their friends, and they are not asking for more liberty.

Inherited blood diseases are much more difficult to cure than those which are acquired^ One of the most common hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which the medical profession admit is most obstinate and deepseated, and their efforts to aire it meet with little success. A child afflicted with Scrofula is always punj and sickly, and can never grew into healthy manhood until the disease is eliminated* Scrofula leads into consumption nine times out of ten, so that it is important for this reason that immediate attention be given to all children who inherit the slightest taint.

Mrs. S. S. Mabry, 360 Elm St., Macon* Ga., writes: "My boy, Charlie, inherited a scrofulous blood taint, and from infancy was covered with terrible sores, his sufferings being such that it was impossible to dress him for three years.

CHARLIE MABRY

Hi9 head and body were a mass of sores, and his nose was swollen to several times its natural size to add to his misery he had catarrh, which made him alniost deaf, and his eyesight also became affected. No treatment was spared that we thought would relieve him, but he grew worse until his condition was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood remedies vpere given him by the wholesale, but they did not the slightest good. I had almost despaired of his ever being cured, when by the advice of a friend we gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specific), and at first the inflammation seemed to increase, but as this is the way the remedy gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out of the sytet&m, we were encouraged and continued the medicine. A decided improvement was the result, and after he had taken' a dozen bottles, no one who knew of his former dreadful condition would have recognized him. All the sores on his body have healed, his skin is perfectly clear and smooth, and he has been restored to perfect health."

Mr. A. T. Morgan, one of the prominent druggists of Macon, and a member of the board of aldermen of that city, says: "I am familiar with the terrible condition of little Charlie Mabry, and the cure which S.S.S. effected in his case was remarkable, and proves it to be a wonderful blood remedy."

S.S.S. is the only cure for deepseated blood diseases, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh, etc. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed

LONG LINE OF WHEAT

SELLING OV IT BT BV1X8 CAUSED A WEAK MAHHT.

Break at the Opening of the Market Almost Threw Traders Into Fanlo.

Chicago, Oct. 4.—Part of the Jong line of wheat held by the Dull clique went over today. The selMng of it caused a weak market, but the strong foreign situation asserted Itseat sufficiently ta cause the market to clove at substantially unchanged prices. Other grain and provision markets were remarkable, chiefly for their dullness, corn closing Vfcc higher, while oats and provisions were unchanged at the close.

The opening in wheat was quiet enough, and some strength was shown, December, which closed Saturday aA 89^@88%c, starting today at from SSfto to 89%c. But ten minutes after the opening the market was reated to a break which for a tew moments put traders en he verge ot a panic. The price slunmed nearly 2c in about as many minutes. It came so suddenly that the trade was convinced that Saturday's curls stories of "put" purchases of 3,000,000 bushels had some foundation in faot, and thai the heading bull interest was getting ready to liquidate. These rumors had the effec of precipitating general selling, December dropping like a plummet to 87%c. Prom this point it rallied quickly to 88%o and soon after gave indications of settling down around 88Hc, or a cent below the opening price. Whil* the opening Liverpool caiblee noted a decline of %d from Saturday's closing, there bad been a sharp little rally there ater. There had also been a reduction ot 225,000 bushel* 2hst week In Liverpool warehouse stocks of wheat and there was a very sharp advance In the stock market at New I'vlt. It was these Influences that made the comparative strength at the outset, though receipts at (Minneapolis and Duluth were large at 1,518 cars, against 1,427 cars last week, and 1,630 last ear. The weather map also showed that the drought was paraally broken in the Northwest by showers which covered the three big spring whea* states. The world's shipments of wheat last week are again targe at 9,2M,000 bushels against 9,607,000 bushels a week previous and 9,-MS,-000 bushe!s for the corresponding week last year. Thoman'e October report reiterating his former estimate of a total wheat crop of 580,000,000 bushels, undoubtedly assisted In increasing the pressure on the wheat market during the early break. The visibly supply increased 1,581,000 bushels for the •week. As the day advanced it became more and more evident that large holdings and long wheat were ibeing thrown en the market, and that the early surmise of ihe trade was substantially correct. The market was met on every little rally by so (much property that it quickly dropped again. During the laat hour, however,: the market gave evidence of having pretty thoroughly digested the offerings.

It was £*i£o decided that the miners here should contribute 10 per cent of their earnings to the men still out in northern Illinois. A motion was then ifcade to have the check weigher at each mine to check off the dues of the organized miners, to be paid to the treasurer of the organization through the coal company. This caused much opposition and the meeiing was in a constant turmoil until adjournment was secured. The miners will take a vote of the various locals to determine the advisability of working only five days a week. It is believed that this plan will be adopted, as the sentiment of the mass meeting was decidedly in favor of it.

STOCK AND BOND MARKET.

A Running Contest in Which the Befcrs Pnt the Bulls to Konte. New York, Oct. 4.-There was little more in today's market than a running contest between the bulls and bears in whichfeho bulls were auccessful during the eajly,j»art of the day, but In which the ibears turned the tide later, and put their opponents -to route, wiping out all the gains of hajenrller trading. There was everything in the bulls favor in the early market, living buying 011 S-aturday having apparent?y reassured foreign capital so that prices of American securities on the London exchange were advanced before the opening hour. Prices of the international stocks opened about on a parity with the London higher leve\ The masses of orders in the hands of commission houses and whioh were put into execution immediately showed that the home public as well as the foreigners believed that the market had turned again, and that reaction had came to an end. Vie sensational jump in (Manhattan at the opening of over 7 points also stimulated the rise. The pinched short* having covered, the price quickly receded. Consolidated Gas also rose points on the opening sales. The railroad statements for Hie day, all of which showed a continuance ot the heavy increase of earnings, fanned the flame of the bull enthusiasm. The advance of the market under these influences and under aggressive leadership, extended from 1 to 2 points. The higher' prices invited heavy realizing sales and the bears added the pressure of ?hort selling under which the advance melted away in most cases, the net loss being, however, for the most part of fractional. Union Pacific was a notable exception, its loss extending to 1%. Quite a number of the lesa active stocks escaped the later liquidation and retained net gains to a point or over, but the level of the market as a whole closed decidedly lower. Sugar was an active feature all day and its later weakness was a material factor in breaking the market.

The bond market showed a decided access of activity and prices held steady for the most part against the late weakness in the stock market. Total sales were $2,150.000.

Government bonds were strong and were bid up to for all issues. Clearings, $9,961,771 balances, $7,190,317.

Old Receivership of the Wabash & Eritf Canal Wound Up. England is not the only place whero things in chancery last a lifetime. Yesterday Judge Woods issued a final order in a receivership case that began November 19, 1874, twenty-three years ago, says the Indianapolis Journal. This was the case of Jonathan K. Gapen against the trustees off the Wabash & Erie canal. Samuel B. Gookins was appointed receiver of the canal, and when he died his son-in-law, George 6. Duy, succeeded him in the receivership. In. the course of the receivership all the old Wabash & Erie canal, extending from Toledo southwesterly across Indiana to Terre Haute has been sold in various parcels.

After the payment of debts and costs, attorneys' fees and receivers' allowances from time t6 time, there was left in the court's hands $4,580. Of this an allowance of $3,485.91 was made to Claypool & Ketcham. attorneys for the receiver, the costs were deducted, and the residue went to Mr. Duy as his final allowance. This amounted to $970.
