South Carolina and the city of New York. if roughly estimated. have a population nearly the same. South Carolina sends seven congressmen. New York eight.

The vote of New York is hree-ti It hi Democratic and two-fifths Republican. In South Carolina three-titths of the 'weenie are blacks. altnost without exception Republicans, and two-fiftha are white, almost without exception Itemocrats. It can hardly be construed by the most sensitive intellect an outrage to ask how two-fifths of the voters cast four-fifths of the vote. (Applause.) There were over 180,000 Democratic casV.

In city of New York. The th Soun erne sir Win that there is a vast differ- NI ece beta I teocratic voter in the South ae, )14 brother. Admitting that to be limillo here is a vast difference. quite as wide between the Republican voter in the city of New York and the Democratic voter in the city of New York. There is hardly one of um who would not conaider it the gravest kind of an outrage for the Republicans of New York to advance their intellect as a Plea for disfranchising those Democrats.

We simply claim that South Carolina is bound to mete out justice to her fellow party men, as we mete out justice to our fellow party men in the North. When we apeak of the solid South yen must draw a distinction. Arkansas. Texas and is one thing, and Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi is another. The tirst are solid like Iowa.

The people prefer. owing to some inherent intellectual defects. to vote the Democratic ticket. (Laughter.) When vie speak of South Caronna. Louisiana and Mississippi, we mean that they are carried for the Democracy only by the Republican vote being suppressed.

In old days it was done with a hilotgun now it is done in a more gentlemanly way. (Laughter and applause.) By tissue ballots and other similar devices. This im Ion ancient history. In a few weeks it will be very modern history, as it will happen again. We have proposed a way in the New York Platform to remedy matters.

That is to reduce the reeSt01tations of these States in electoral college. and at Washington as well: and much can be accomplished by the sentiment of the North, and that Is by re- fusing to assist with its votes a party which profits by such evasions as are committed in the working of the ballot laws of the South. I hardly like to bring into what may be taken to be a political speech, any allusion to a couple of articles made by a gentleman whoperhapsdeservemanore than any other 110W living, credit for the very highest kind of courage in facing the question. I allude to Cieorge W. Cable.

(APpla use.) lie has done someth ing that it requires an immense amount of courage to do. It is very easy for us to say that the South should do justice to the Degrees because we are backed by a unanimous and healthy public sentiment. It is a very different thing for a man froin the South to dare to say the things that Mr. Cable has said. and though there is eppreciably a growing sentiment there that backs him up it is still overwhelmingly outnumbered.

In his articles and in the replies made by Grady and others there is an axiomatic truth that the suppression of the vote of the negro is practically almost universal, and that the best hope that we can have for altering this condition of things is by arousing a strong public sentiment against it In the North and in the South, and that time most effective way to help that sentiment in the South is to have the sentiment in the North practically unanimous, and those who are dep. reeating any allusion to the South are doing wrong in perpetratig a great injustice. You recall INIr. Podsnap who said "I don't believe it is true, and if it is true I don't wish to hear anything about There is a good deal of l'odseappery in certain iptellectual circles and it is a frame of mind that those gentlemen will in a few years lie Heartily Ashamed of. I am going to ask your attention to the working of time government under the change of administration, taken with its bearings on the Ova service.

I am very far from joining those who would unconditionally condemn 31r. Cleveland. I hear and see the extraordinary antics of his preposterous colleague Mr. liendricks, L. can only pray a merciful provideece to keep Mr.

Cleveland in his place until theRepublicans remove him.lest that fossiliferous statesman from Indiana should take his place. It reminds me of one of Dickens' lawyers, who assures his clieets that lie would be delighted to do auythiug for him himself, but his wicked wouldn't have it. A wicked partner has for the first time made Ilia aimpearanee on the stage of that is good is President Cleveland. anything that is bad is charged to his wicked partner. It is said that a Mr.

Thompson has forced certain nominations to office (town Mr. Cleveland's throat. I do not think it is a compliment In Mr. Cleveland's strength to admit that. There is a doctrine that we can adopt in Anierica.

and that is that the head of the house is responsible for the acts done by his agent. To say that Mr. Cleveland is very good. but we regret he has so many bad advisers, is no excuse. We answer by saying that we also regret that the number of his bad ad.

visers is so inordivately great. Mr. Cleveland has been obliged, in the words ef a famous light of the Democracy. to pander to two distinct classes of people. One is the better.

element. I he second the rock-ribbed Democracy. To keep these two sets of ineu in tine he has had to rely upon it balance of good and evil appointments sual actions. For these good actitms he deserves great praise, and 110 IteP111lielln should be backward in according them to him. When Mr.

Higgins and Mr. Forsyth tried to deprive a Republican conipetiter of his rights to an othee Mr. Cleveland should be praised for preventing it. but he should be condemned for retaining such persons in ()thee 014 Higgins and orsyth. A representative of another element takes office.

for example, it amigo Endicott; he is relied nisei to console one class of New Englanders when they object to the appointment of that ideal of some other New Englanders, Mr. Pillsbury. (Laughter.) (Me good 1111111. 0110 bad man; one good man. One Very bad man.

(Laughter and applause.) For time retaining of Mr. Pear-stet he deserves much credit, but not the hysterical he got for it. (Laughter and applause.) That was a recognition of the independent interest. The mugwutnps entreated and implored that be should be kept In office. Immediately after that was done an obscure person, a Air.

Redden, was picked out by Mr. Thompson. Nobody could say anytime; against hint for nobody knew who he was. (Laughter.) For the rest of the appointments I refer YOU to the Independent papers. I think that President Cleveland has done the best that his party would let hint do, and they have only lot hint do very badly.

The Det110- craw in time Now York convention praise bini fur ha.ving appointed Democrats to Mee; they coudenin the present administration of the civil service reform law. They are strongly in favor of a non-partisan law which shall admit only Democrats to otlice.

That is the language of their platform. Mr. Cleveland was in a position where he wanted to do right I think that he is in many respects to be sympathized with. For what he has done that is good be should to Praised, but it is idle folly to state that the change from Republican to Democratic rule has not been a misfortune to the country and to every movement in advance, especially civil set, vice reform. (Applause.) I shall refer to another timer.

The removal of Sheriff Davidson in New York was toticed for by Republicans and Democrats alike, and almost the entire press of New York. The President (then governor) delayed action eight months, and finally passed the decision of the matter over to his successor, Governor IlilL who, not being troubled with those scruples that troubled Cleveland, promptly pardoned the sheriff. It can hardly be regarded as merely an unfortunate coincidence that Sheriff Dav idson during that time threw all the weight of his organization. hying hail. for the nomination and election of Mr.

Cleveland. It is a statement borne out by the facts that President Cleveland consented to overlook malfeasance in office in return for partisan and personal support of himself. It was the same thing in the case of Mullin in Ohio. Mr. Cleveland showed himself willing to profit by the abasement of time ballot-box in the State of Ohio.

(tireat applause.) President French then introduced Miller was looked upon as the sure winner, as he was known to have covered the course in practice in 59 minutes. Mt. Miller knew just what he could do and run his race with the intention of making just about that time, and he did so within the fraction of a second. On the down-hill coast, soon after the start, he was treated to a view of the number pinned to Ilayues' back.but after reaching the foot of the bill, Haynes had the pleasure of admiring Miller's number to the finish of the race. At Brighton Miller was thrown from his tricycle in attempting to quickly cross the car tracks.

but he remounted. was off again before Haynes could pass him. Wood retained third position throughout the race without much difficulty, as Stickney. who had never been over the course, lost his way. and after many difficulties reached the club house.

Miller captured the first prize in 59 minutes 20 seconds, Haynes the second in 59 minutes 50 seconds, and Wood the third in 1 hour 8 minutes 40 seconds. MiPer rode a Columbia two-track tricycle, and his time establishes an American record. This was the last event of the day, and the interest from them is centred in the- great fifty-mile race. The Fifty Mile Record Goes. The crowd about the Massachusetts club house kept increasing, until at 4 o'clock Newbury street was well nigh impassable.

The short distance events were all decided before that hour and the interest centred in the fiftv mile contest. An occasional despatch by telephone from the checkers along the course was read to the crowd. Bugler Benson was stationed in one of the windows where he could see a long way down the course, and with his bugle gave a timely announcement of the winner's advent. At 5.27 the merry notes-of the bugle were beard and out rushed everybody into the middle of the street, while the committeemen yelled themselves hoarse in trying to clear a space for the winner to finish. The first man was found to be Rhodes.

and the Dorchester men had a chance to fell as much as they pleased. "I'll bet that smashes the record all to pieces," shouted many of the more enthusiastic, as they rushed for the timers, who had become separated by the crowd and were vainly endeavoring to get together. that they might compare their watches, Finally the time of 3 hours 32 minutes 20 2-5 seconds was announced, and elicited a burst of enthusiasm, for the time lowered the previous record by twelve minutes. Four minutes later Huntley of Newton came speeding in all covered with dirt and evidently suffering from a severe fall. The third man in was the handsome man from Meriden.

who looked as fresh as though he had made but a ten-mile spin. This of course put an end to the race as far as the interest of the crowd was concerned. and the street soon resumed its accustomed quietness. When the race was started, as has been previously stated, Rhodes was in the rear. but he soon crawled near the front rank.

The course was an excellent one, and was as follows: Beacon street to Great sign boards. Washington street to West Newton, Watertown street, Galen street to Watertown, then Main street, Spring street. over the hill to Common street, to Bee mont station. then by Leonard street to Moore street. to Pleasant street.

to Arlington, thence along Arlington avenue, Aledford street, to West Medford and Medford. Pleasant street to Malden square, Salem street, over Tower bill. Boston street, Federal street, past Bosco be Hotel at Lynn. North common street, left by Essex street, to Swampscott. to turning point beyond the Salem and Swampscott line; return over the same route to Medford square, and then by Main street past Mystic Park and under bridge, to Elm street.

to Davis square, West Somerville station, Day street. North avenue. to Harvard square. Cambridge, Boylston street. North Harvare street, Cambridge street, Linden street, Brighton avenue, Beacon street, Iletelord street, left Newbury street, to the finish at club house.

When the Great sign boards at Newton were reached Rhodes had the lead. The checker timed the men as follows: Rhodes, 14 minutes; Huntley, 14 minutes 1 second; Whitten, 14 minutes 28 seconds; Ives, 16 minutes; Tracy. 14 minutes 30 seconds Peabody, 14 minutes 15 seconds; Grover, 16 minutes 2 seconds. Rhodes kept up' his speedy going, with Huntley pushing him hard and frequently forging ahead for a time. At Tower hill, Huntley received a bad fall which lost him a quarter of a mile, but remounting he was soon near the front again.

After passing the hill the riders were checked as follows: Rhodes, 31 minutes; Huntley. 31 minutes 15 seconds; Whitten. 32 minutes: Getchell, 41 minutes; Ives, 37 minutes; Tracy and Peabody, 45 minutes; Grover, 48 minutes. At Belmont the time was taken as follows: Rhodes, 32 minutes 10 seconds; Ives, 34 minutes 30 seconds; Huntley. 32 minutes 15 seconds; Getchell.

36 minutes 22 seconds; Peabody. 36 minutes 32 seconds; Grover. 36 minutes 23 seconds 32 minutes 12 seconds. At Malden Tracy had a header which spoiled his chances for a prize, but he pluckily continued in the race. Captain Vivian of the Charlestown club met Huntley at Medford, and brought him along at a fine pace 4to Lynn.

The two leaders rode from there on to the turning point very close together. with Whitten not far behind. Time men reached time turning point as follows: Rhodes. 1 hour 52 minutes; Huntley, 1 hour 52 minutes 5 seconds; yes, 2 hours 57 minutes; GetchelL 2 hours 4 minutes. lbad i header (ad, wiren.

Ives had hard luck, for he twice lost his course, and with his handicap at the start his performance was most creditable, and he finished in such good condition that one was led to think that had it not been for his several accidents the result of the race might have been different. He rode a Columbia light roadster. Rhodes was mounted on a Victor and Huntley on a Hedge. At Harvard square the men were checked as follows: Rhodes, 3 hours 8 minutes 57 seconds; Huntley.

3 hours 9 minutes 45 seconds; Ives, 3 hours 23 minutes 38 seconds. At Allston they were checked: Rhodes, 3 hours 18 minutes; Huntley. 3 hours 19 minutes; Ives, 3 hours 31 minutes 10 seconds. The following summary tells the story of the race: Time. Names.

usoicions of Foul Play. Emma' Burns, a comely mulatto girl of 26 years, has some time lived as a domestic in the house 26 Lynde street. A few weeks ago she complained of being ill. and tooka room at the house of Mrs. Nettie Jones, colored.

at 34 Lynde street. There she gave premature birth to a dead child. Friday afternoon Emma Burns died suddenly. William Henry Hull. also a mulatto and 20 years old, the same evening' called at Station 3.

and reported to Lieutenant Kendall that the woman's death was the result of foul play. Officer Fitzgerald was detailed to make inquiries, and went to the house with Hall to find Undertaker Briggs in charge. Medical-Examiner Harris decided to hold an autopsy. The Jones woman accused Hall of being guilty and attempted to attack him with a lighted kerosene lamp. Yesterday Medical-Examiner Harris found that the woman's death was the result of malpractice.

Detective Abbott was placed on the case and learned enough to cause suspicion to point to a physician who attended the woman during her illness. Mrs. Jones was arrested on suspicion. but was let go when she claimed that she could prove an alibi. Cambling Raid at South Boston At about 11 o'clock last night Cap.

(Applause.) One of our guests took part in that 'tom mat ion. and ho can tell us all about it. Ilk reputation as a stern oppilient of everything hat is vicious in politics is not confined to his Own State. AA ti in Massachusetts have matched him career Rh as much pride as he was ono of our own tit izeils. I le is a I ing esikiittiple that there iii in Ilia party itself a reformer who will suit the most fastidious.

Gentlemen, Mr. Theodore Reesevelt of New York. Mr. Roosevelt was received with; the most greeting. Ile fetid: Mr.

President gentleineu I assure you that I appreciate very highly the honor that has been conferred upon me in being allowed to ail-dress your organizatiou. I can say in all honesty that I would hardly appreciate more the praise of my fellow-citizens of New York State than I would your good opinion. Indeed I tint In ttoroo sense a Maa. eachusetts man. as I passed Four Years in cembefese, and most etriphatieally those were pot the least profitable of my life.

I was peculiarly glad to be able to speak to you today after what happened at Saratoga this week. To be cure I cannot claim to be a bringer of good tidings. but I can explain Bowe of the details of those good tidings. It seems ungrateful to begin hy 'flaking a curn. Iuiolit upou a Maseareusetts paper.

but I hope you will permit Inc to read an item from the Roston Herald, in which, wtth that studied moderation of courtesy that has been tinp charactelistic of that journal, they say "The resolutions adopted by the New York Democrats present the worst compound of hypocrisy. demagogy and liourbonism." If that statement had been made by any gentleman if from the Herald the lierald would have etigniatized the author if it as a centinerital liar. And in that case the Herald would have told the truth. ilaiigliter amid applause.) Now that the plist forte is quite as good. as the Massachusetts platform will bo I don't dare to hope.

In New York we are still mundane, but acreeling to enr lights it was a pretty good platform. We have been accused again and again of making a fight on dead issues. I think we all concur that civil service reform is a very live issue, and the first and leading place in our platform was given to the resohition containing the civil service plank. it is the strongest that has ever been out in any platform. and we coupled with that a demand that the exieting laws should not only be strengthened.

but that they slit uld be extended to include all the different classes of pit ('tic employes that could be brought within their ammo. It is idle to tell us that that was done because we were in opposition, because very nearly the same platform as regards civil service reform was put forth when wei were in power. IVe have been tried both in power and oppomition. anti on each occasion we have made these declare lions we have done what our opponents have: hot done, We have made the 4 leelaraa lone good by our deeds. (Appiause.) For example.

one of the num we Dominated this year, the lieutenant-governor, was On one of the last tickets of the Republican party, and the only Republican elected. To all of the nien nominated at that time. Republican end Democrat alike. the Civil Service Association sent a circular asking their oninions on civil service. and what they would do if they came into power.

None of the Llemocrats answered It; all of the Republicans dill. The Itepubliean who answered he would obey the civil service law, obeyed it The Democrats did not. The Republican has beeto renominated by the Republicans. and ken of the Democrats who did not obey it have Weil renominated by the Democratic On the most thoroughly live issue of the day we unquestionably shine by cone pennon with our opponent. If you will permit nun twill give you a brief resume of the Republican platform.

We declare for civil service reform; we declare against the unlimited Coinage of silver and sentinel the Warner silver bill; there is then a plaink representing the sentiment of the very great bulk of the Republicans. Not only of the State of New York but the Cotant.ty MS large, in favor of a protective tariff. (Applause.) There are certain reitolutious in reference to the labor problem. They declare. what the people of New York have declared at the polls, that a certain course of policy as regards convict should be stopped, and that honest labor 'Mould be subetnated for it; and Ike a law preventing women and children from being kept at work too long Wert in factories; we also declare er the health and protection of tenement license.

The only planks re-is one arraigning President Cleveland for certain definite acts, given in our platform. anti which I question if any human being can defend and filially we laiVel a plank which the Herald calls "way-big the Woody shirt." We absolutely have the impertinence to ask that the black wan thall be allowed to vote, and that ibis vote shall be eluded. I am hardly inclined to agree that it is disloyal to speak of the Disloyalty of Joffersoa Davis. (A enlause.) he Atlanta Oenetitution, Georgia, says: "There is no room for the Ilkpublican Party lit the South. Now.

I would be very far from wishing not to put an end to any sectional bitterineui between the North and South. I would be still farther trom being influenced army fooling of mawkish sentimentality conatnenting upon the Southerners when they wrong, for fear of hurting the very refilled feeling, of some 44 our est.isens. There is some appointments. All made by wicked partners. (Laughter.) Mr.

Lodge then read a list of some thirteen appointments as printed a few days since in the World, commencing with I I iggins and ending with Jack Connelly of Ohio. The appointment of Mr. Burt was a most admirable one. but it was a gross violation of the civil service law. An excellent officer was removed to give Mr.

Burt a place. 1 they would only come out and say squarely we want those offices it would be manly. The objectionable part of this business is the humbug about it. It is nothing but taking the offices because they want them, and it is an attembt to serve God and mammon. It is an attempt to be a Democratic and a mugwump President at the same tmnie, and tlie two timings don't harmonize.

The Democratic party Is not pleased and there are signs that the Independents are not, and they are g4ting to Hill and Mr. Flower for the good of the Democratic party. and 'don't believe Parties like to have good done to them in that way. (Laughter.1 They are removing ifio postmasters a day. They are turning them out just as fast as the machinery of the department can do it.

Reform came 'from the Republican party, and Mr. Cleveland nor no one else can make the Democratic party believe in that principle in which they not believe and have fleas for. No one can feel more strongly than myself a dislike for all The war was fought for the Union to abolish that geographical line which slavery drew. It was abolished, and I believe that the men of the North want to have a complete reconciliation, but I have no sympathy with that maudlin sentiment which I see in certain quarters, that it is a crime even to refer to the war. There it is and there are its results, and by those results we stand.

for one, don't begrudge offices to officers of the Confederate army, but I don't like to see men who lurked at home and gave their sympathy to the slave States so honored. But it does give a shock to the feelings of the loyal North when they see a great department closed in honer of a man who was a defaulter and who carried on war by sending infected rags to the port of New York. We stand on the plain ground that under our system, if we want it to continue and be a success. the votes must be honestly received and counted. That is what we ask and mean to have, and no amount of talk about the bloody shirt will stop us.

We are going to carry it through tist as sure as there is a sun in the heavens. fhese are the two questions which are interesting the people and on which we are going to the country, and on them we believe we are going to carry New York and Ohio. Rev. Dr. Bartol then made an interesting anti witty speech and the club adjourned.

The Winners in the Several TH. cycle Events. Yesterday the Massachusetts Bleyc le Club made its first attempt at conducting a series of road races, and a most succesqul attempt it proved, too. for the races were the best ever held in Boston. The times made were all that could have been expected.

lowering, as they did, the fifty-mile record by twelve minutes. and in the shorter distance race a establishing road records at all the distances for America. There were also a less number of accidents than usually happens in such events, the only serious Ones being those to IIuntley and Tracy, and they proved tritlin g. The credit for the success of the affair is due to the committee in charge, Messrs. Peck, Atkins and Aid.

Lieutenant Peck deserves the major amount of praise, for it was he who laid out the excellent routes and secured most of the entries. He is an enthusiast on cycling, and is noted as the hardest worker in the club. Unfortunately he was yesterday taken sick, and was unable to attend the races and enjoy the results of his labors. From 1 o'clock to the finish of the rates wheelmen with their wheela and wheelmen without their wheels thronged the Massachusetts club house on Newbury the hundreds of spectators packed themselves at the best points to witness the finish. The finish of all the races was in front of the club house, and there, of course.

centered the greatest interest. The start was. however, made away out in Newton. at the corner of Beacon and Hammond streets, just above the steep hill which so tires cycylists after the smooth roads around Chestnut hill reservoir. Here were gathered the more enthusiastic wheelmen; to the II umber of a hundred or few in carriages.

but nearly. all astride their cycles. They witnessed the start, and after sending the last man off with lusty cheers set out by a short route for the club house at a lively Pace, so as to be in at the finish. The way these cyclists rode in was in itself a whole race meeting. Captain Shillaber, who officiated as one of the judges, cut out the going for the field at the start and managed to finish first onla good lead.

with the crowd behind him at all distances varying up to a in Ile. It was intended that the start be made promptly at 1.30 p. but it was not until 1.55 o'clock that the firstthe fifty-mile racewas started. The delay was caused by the late arrival of one of the 'contestants, who was kept at his training quarters an undue length of time by his struggles to get himself inside a very tight jersey. Preparing for the Start.

At 1.55 o'clock the following men were arranged in a line across Beacon street, looking toward Newton Centre: W. A. Rhodes, Dorchester: W. IL Huntley, Newton; A. McCurdy, Salem; II.

G. Getchell, Cambridge; C. E. Tracy, Waltham; L. A.

Peabody, Marblehead A. D. Grover, Maverick Wheel Club, East Boston C. E. Whitten, Lynn.

F. F. Ives of Meriden. did not arrive until 1 minute 20 seeonds after the start; but he accepted his handicap in good part and hurried after the field. The others all received a good start and with Iluntley slightly in the vamthe whole field sped quickly down the hill and round the turn out of sight.

This was. of course, the great race of the day. and the one in which centred the greatest interest. Seldom has such a field of flyers been brought together for a road race, and everyone felt confident that the present record held by Rhodes of 1 hour 44 minutes, made at Lynn last June, would be considerably lowered. Many were of the opinion that Rhodes himself would be the one that would do the lowering.

but there were not a few who based their faith on Ives and Huntley. The race was from the start practically between these three men, Ives of course being handicapped by his failure to start on time. As this race would not be decided for three or four hours, and as but little could be learned of it until that time, the spectators turned their attention to the shorter distance races which were to follow. The routes for the shorter distance events had been carefully laid out by Lieutenant Peck, and were known to be very fast. The route of the club tricycle race was a particularly good one, and the club men expected their favorites to do some splendid work.

and they were not disappointed. Mr. Miller's performance was indeed a good one, and. considering that it was his first race, was very remarkable. Sixteen-Mite Tricycle Race.

The sixteen-mile tricycle race. open to al amateurs. was the first race after the fifty-mile event. and it was started at precisely two minutes past 2 o'clock. All the entries appeared.

as follows: J. A. R. Underwood, Dorchester; J. Williams.

Dorchester. and C. O. Danforth. Cambridge Bicycle Club.

The men were sent off well together, Williams obtaining a lead of a few inches. A few yards further on the men strung out in single file under the leadership of Williams, with Danforth close at his back. Continuing on in this order the two leaders soon left Underwood far behind. On the hill at Chestnut street they saw him for the last time. He has not competed in a race before for several years, not since his accident.

After reaching the great sign boards he concluded to withdraw and returned home. The other two kept up their lively pace with Danforth trailing Wiliams. The former made no attempt to pass until reaching Union square, Allston, when he spurted to the lead, but held it for a few minutes only, when Williams resumed his lead and retained it to Chester Park, when I hinforth spurted to his side and exclaiming, "I want to pass you just once." dashed away on a good lead. Williams answered with. "You give me the hardest race I over had." and soon again pushed to the front.

No further change was made. and Williams finished first, with Danforth 5 seconds behind; time 1 boor 9 minutes lo seconds. The men were checked at the various points as follows: Great sign boards, Newton, by C. F. minutes 30 secouds Danforth, le minutes 35 seconds.

Clark and Alit sped away and soon left the rest out of sight. Sabin managed to maintain first position until coining over Chester park. when Clark spurted by him, and was riding so well that it looked as though Sabin would have to be content with second prize, but when opposite the Mechanics Fair building on liuntington avenue Sabin regained the lead and won by five seconds; time. 58 minutes 10 seconds.

Brawls and quarrels are not infrettment in the vicinity, but are seldom of sufficient magnitude as to require the interference of the police. Saturday night is the eventful night of the week with many in this quarter, for then another week's work has been brought to an end, and this fact must be celebrated by indulging in enormous quantities of ale and Whiskey. Shortly after sundown well-tilled cans may be observed in the hands of men and women hurrying homeward. or oftener protruding from the folds of a carelessly arranged shawl. The occupants of the different buildings are divided into various factions, and each of the latter has its own private drinking Party.

Women are more conspicuous than those of the opposite sex in these affairs, and through their contentions that which began in a private giass between friends now and then assumes public and Painful proportions. This was the case last night. when the inmates of No. 2 were enjoying themselves in the accustomed way. On.

the second floor a new tenant named Hennessy. or FennessY, together with his wife, had been drinking considerably during the evening. At 10 o'clock both of them were highly intoxicated, and soon began to quarrel. Immediately adjoining their apartments were those of Nora O'Brien, a widow 70 years old, from whom they hired the two rooms which they occupied. The O'Brien woman had as a guest 0 one Mary O'Leary.

who, according to her own statement, having worked hard all the week for various parties on Dover street. came home early last night, and after sending out for a pint of whiskey. and drinking her allotment of the same, extended her weary limbs upon the aged widow's bed. Subsequently the latter extinguished the kerosene light and lay alongside her guest. Sleep was coming to both of them when the quarrel in the adjoining room, having subsided for a few minutes, was resumed with greater intensity than ever.

1 couldn't sleep," said Mary 'O'Leary, in her narrative to Lieutenant Laskey. when she was brought into the Dedham-street police station. -so I said to Mrs. O'Brien that the Hennessys were rowing again and that it would be impossible for us to get a wink of sleep. Then I yelled out to them to shut up and go to bed like decent people.

With that the Hennessy woman came to the door and had some words with US During the conversation she threw a tin can at me and struck me on the top of the head with it. Then she went away and we let her alone, thinking she'd go about her own business. A little while after Mrs. O'Brien got up out of bed to get some water at the sink. which is near the entry.

There she met with the other woman. and the next thing I knew was that Mrs. O'Brien had gone down stairs With a crash that startled everybody. Of course the other woman threw her down, but I could not swear to it The whole thing did not take a minute. I rushed down stairs and looked at the fallen woman, after which I got a towel and wiped the blood from her forehead." It was in the situation referred to by this witness that the body of Nora O'Brien was found a few minutes later by Patrolmen True and Parmelee of the fifth police.

They had been summoned by the neighbors, and after a hasty examination started to procure an ambulance. When they returned with that conveyance, they found the woman dead, her skull apparently having been fractured. It appears that she lived about twenty minutes after the fall. The Hennessy or Fennessy woman, who could throw most light noon the occurrence. was not to be had when the officers arrived upon the scene.

4Ier husband, unconscious probably of what had taken place, was discovered sitting in a chair and fast asleep. Fortunately Mrs. Levi and Mrs. Wulff, who live in the same building, were descending from the third to the second story just as the two women were having an altercation at the head of the stairs leading to the ground floor. They heard no words that were uttered, but just as they turned toward the lower stairway they beheld, so ther firmly assert.

the Hennessy woman push the other down. As the latter fell her skirts, trailing along the steps, swept down with her an unlighted kerosene lamp that was located near the head of the stairs. Her fall was so heavy that many of the neighbors heard it and were soon at her side. She was unable to speak and appeared to die with but little pain. Those who examined her injuries were in some doubt as to whether death resulted from a broken neck or a fractured skull.

As it was the intention of the officers to remove her to the City Hospital if she had lived, medical assistance was not summoned. The exact injury which produced death will, therefore. not be known until the autopsy, which will be performed by Dr. Draper today. The body is now at the City Hospital motgue.

As soon as it was ascertained that the assailant had fled, Sergeant Sargent and other officers went in quest of her. She had been seen immediately after the occurrence to enter her room and put on a shawl, after which she passed out into the street. If those conversant with the affair had informed the officers at the start of what had actually happened, the guilty woman might have been apprehended at once. On the contrary, when the officers were first called to the place, they supposed from the information supplied that the fall was the result of an accident. The deceased is spoken of by her neighbors as a person of anything but a quarrelsome disposition.

She was known to be well connected, having a nephew who is a well-known dentist in this city. Two sons who are in California have been in the habit of sending her money whereby to live. Bridget' Hennessy. which appears to be the correct name of the woman who is wanted for causing the death of the old woman, is 45 years of age, about 5 feet in height. rather stout, has dark hair and eyes.

and wore an old calico dress and had a faded plaid shawl wrapped about her head. The description has been sent to all the police stations in the city and suburbs. The Tramps Were Too Tired. The Saturday night tramps who patronize the Wayfarers' Home, on Hawkins street, were treated to a great surprise last tight. The number of guests at this hostelry on Saturday night is larger than on other nights.

a fact that has been due to the tramps not being required to saw and split wood in payment of their lodgings on Sunday mornings. Last night the usual rush of the wanderers was quite large, and to their great consternat mit about 9 o'clock all were called to turn out by Messrs. Flynn and Mullally. the officers in charge, and ordered to saw and split up a cord of wood. This was too much for many of the tramps, who bolted and left the establishment in disgust, vowing their intention never again to return, condemning and damning mankind in general.

Those who performed their task are to receive an extra square meal today. A Loving Pair Take a Tumble. The driver of herdic No. 69 of the Phaeton Company' had a lively experience at the West End at about midnight last night. While proceeding with a Couple down Cambridge street he attempted to clear the horse car track.and ran plump into the large and massive iron post which supports an electric light on the corner of Chambers street.

The body of the herdic was stove in, as well as the dasher being reduced to kindling wood; the loving couple inside got a sudden dump into the street, and the driver shot off his seat on to the sidewalk. The horse was uninjured. and the lovers, after picking themselves out of the gutter. decided to walk home. A Suicide Prevented.

She Starts in the Cape May RaceThe Cutter Secures a Lead of Over Two Miles on the Dauntless. NEW Yong. September 26.A light southerly breeze filled the sails of the British cutter Genesta today as she turned her bow for the last time towards the judges' boat at Sandy Hook to start on the Cape May cup race.

About the same time the schooner Dauntless began to hoist her sails, and side by side the rival yachts sailed Out to the starting point. When the Narrows were reached the Ge nesta had a slight lead. When the was once clear of the headlands it was seen that the yachts were once more together. They were overtaken by the tug Luckenbach before they had reached the entrance to the seventh channel. The tug was acting in the double capacity of committee boat and press boat.

It was chartered by the reporters. who kindly offered a passage to the regatta committee. With the yachts came half a dozen visiting yachts. The -Vision steamed in and around the boats. The sloop Mischief, with Mr.

J. R. Bush of the regatta committee seated in the anchor near under his lee was the Espirato. While all eyes were bent on the approaching yachts, the long succession of short whistles front the Luckenbach announced the preparatory signal at 4.50. On came the racers, each piling up the white foam under their bows.

The Wind was each moment increasing. For a moment they hung in the eye of the wind. their sails shaking, and the long lines of reef points beating nervously against the canvas. Just before the signal to start rang out from the judges' boat, Mr. Beavor-Webb.

watch in hand, shouted to Captain Crocker, -Fill away!" In a moment the big mainsail curved to the breeze, and the sharp bow of the cutter was on the line. As the mast came abreast of the Luckenbach.the shrill whistle sounded. and the wily Genesta had crossed the line precisely on the moment- she carried a mainsail, topsail. jib and flying jib. and a beautiful white pennant with a red cross and a golden crown in the centre fluttered from the main-top.

The heavy sails of the Dauntless were less easily handled, and it was not until 4.r.s.2i) one minute and five seconds behind the Briton that a short jet of steam from the stake-boat announced that the schooner had crossed the line. Her long hull and width of beam prevented her from gaining headway at once, and as she passed the buoy it was seen that the cutter had a long lead. The regatta committee was with some difficulty transferred to the tug Scandinavian. The tugs at once started for the racers to bid them a farewell. But it was no easy matter.

to catch the flying Briton. The engineer crowded on all steam and the lit-tie needle on the dial plate jumped nervously as the tug sped through the waves. The Dauntless was soon passed, but the distant cutter was not overhauled for three-quarters of an hour. The Dauntless was hailed, but although she had mainsail, foresail and mainstaysail. both topsails, three jibs and a jib-topsail set, she was laboring hard in the sea, which the smart southerly wind was fast piling up about her.

Looking back from the stern of the Dauntless, it was easily seen that the cutter was at least two i miles advance. Although the wind was increasing, the agile Briton constantly widened the gap between her and the schooner. At is o'clock. when the Scandinavian had reached the starting point off Sandy Hook.the sett Mg sun lit up the distant racers. The far-ott speck of white was all that remained of the Genesta.

The black form of the Dauntless, her long stretch of canvas scarcely bending her tall masts. could be seen. As the committee boat passed the Sandy Hook light a gleam shot Out from the white tower and the red tinge disappeared to the eastward as the sun dropped behind the Navesiuk Highlands. Sir Richard Sutton, the owner of the British cutter, sailed yesterday morning on the Cunard steamer. Etruria.

The steamer encountered a thick fog off Staten Island. and was compelled to anchor until the tide went down. when it was not deemed prudent to start again until after sunset. Sir Richard took a last farewell of his yacht, moored near by, and anxiously watched her departure for the Hook at noon. AMERICANS DEFEATED.
