SPORTING .RECORD.
PEORIA , 111. , Juno 23. At a meet
ing of the executive board of the M.
V. A. 31. A. last night the Mississip-
pis , of St. Louis , were disqualified on
the ground that as ono of them was n
tug boat hand and the other had re
cently been n raftsman , they were
therefore not strictly amateur , The
crow were entered for the free-for-all
fours to bo rowed to-morrow.
_ The fine-haired members of the asso
ciation are jubilant will the public
are indignant at the decision. The
cup fur the championship of the Mis
sissippi valley has to bo won three
consecutive times before the award
can bo made. The Modocs had won
it twice and would have carried it off
had not the Mississippi crow reorgan
ized , entered and gobbled it in the
two last races for the cup. The next
race for the cup comes off in about six
weeks with strong prospects of the
Mississippi crow winning.
Yesterday the Modocs did not win
a race , which made St. John , of St.
Louis , their patron saint , so mad that
ho entered protest against the Missis-
sippis as stated. The latter club were
to have been the opponents of the Mo
docs in the free-for-all four
- - , to bo
rowed to-morrow.

WATKKA , 111. , Juno 23. Sheriff
Barber , of this place has received a
letter from a man now serving out a
sentence in the penitentiary at Wau-
pun , Wis. , in which the writer con
fesses to a murder alleged tu have
been committed at Melford in this
county a year ago , at which time the
writer claims ho committed n robbery.
The letter sots forth that ho was
interrupted at thu time of thu
robbery and shot a man who
ho supposed was an officer about to
effect his arrest , the singular part of
the story is that while tlio facts of thu
robbery tally exactly with a minute
description given in the letter nothing
has ever been known of thu alleged
murder. The ground where the body
is claimed to havu been hidden is being -
ing carefully searched. It is thought
to bo the scheme on the part of a jail
bird to get out of the penitentiary in
order to be brought hero and then ef
fect his escape ,

WASHINGTON , Juno 23. In the
criminal court to-day , ex-Second-
Assistant Postmaster-General Brady ,
made through his counsel an application
that the grand jury should examine
the star route cases in which his name
is connected at once. Judge Cox said
the oflicials of the government
charged with duty in the case did not
present any accusations against Gen
Brady or any ono else , and it would
therefore bo perfectly futile to take
thu matter un. Hu could not neo how
the case could como up before the
grand jury , and though parties might
have to suffer ho was obliged to refuse
the motion of Brady's counsel.

AMI ANY , N. Y. , Juno 23. The
Bradley bribery investigating coin-
inittco mot this morning. The first
witness was Jnnira Tollinghast , former
general superintendent , nnd now as
sistant to the president of tlio Now
York Centralrailroad who Vna exam
ined particularly regarding tlio 920,000
check which ho had cashed in Albany.
Hotestiliodthat | ho procured money for
the purpose of closing out ft real estate
transaction in Buffalo where
ho resided. That the negotiation could
not bo completed nnd ho limned the
money to a Buffalo bank which was
short of cuironoy. Not mm dollar
wns paid to any member of the legis
lature. The loan to the Buffalo bank
was purely accidental , ai tiu ] bank
chanced to bo short of currency and
ho happened to have the money in his
possession.
The next witness was Charles II.
Ingernoll _ , who testified that lie was on
intimate terms with Senator Session's ,
and that ho also know Bradley.
Bradley told him ho should stop voting
ing for Conkling and Platt , and x'oto
for Uopow ; ho told Sessions so. This
was ono afternoon before the election
at Albany took place. John 1. Davpn-
portchief , supervisor of Now York city ,
sworn , despite the protests of Bang's
counsel for Bradley and the committee ,
who stated ho has no further testi
mony to offer on his side , and objected
to Davenport's testimony until all
other witnesses were sworn.
National Associated 1'rcss.
ALBANY , Juno 23. The bribery in
vestigating committee resumed its
session at 3 p. m. Jno. 1. Davenport ;
chief supervisor of elections of Now
York , resumed the stand and con
tinued his testimony in regard to Sen
ator SIndian's statement in reference
to the offer of the marahalship of the
southern district of Now York if ho
( Strahan ) would desert Conkling.
Davenport testified that after receiv
ing the dispatch from Knox he went
at 2 o'clock in the morning to the
house of the assistant district attor
ney , Gco. W. Lyon , and secured his
consent for the use of his name aa a
candidate for marshal. That mom
ing he telegraphed la ICi/yx nt Wash
ington that Strahan declined , and ho
( Davenport ) suggested the appoint
ment of Lyon. Ho also telegraphed
Garfield to the same effect. He
learned subsoquostly that his dis
patches got to Washinuton nt so late
an hour that the president had urged
Knox to accept the place and Knox
had consented. Davenport was cross-
examined at great length , and testi
fied that ho had communication with
President Garficld and sent him a
dispatch on Sunday last asking his
permission to state what passed be
tween them respecting Strahan's ap
pointment.
To this message Davenport read the
following reply :
"EI.HOIIN HOTEL , Lo.vi BUANOH , N.
J. , Juno 20. The president directs
mo to say that ho has no objection to
complying with your request.
[ Signed ] A. F. KOCKWKLL. "
Davenport Raid that ho understood
ho was at liberty to state all that
passed between him and the president ,
not only in regard to the nmrsltalBhip ,
but in other matter/1 as well he was
under no restraint. All communica
tions with the president took place
after the resignations of Colliding and
Platt , and after the withdrawal of the
nominations to the other Now York
oflicca. The president did not assign
any reason for the withdrawal of the
nomination of Woodford and Payne
and tlio other Now York candidates ,
and did not mention the withdrawals
in connection with the senatorial con
test in New York. All that was said
in relating to the ( senatorial contest in
conversation with the president , was
a query by the president auto whether
Conkling and Platt were going to bo
candidates or not. Ho told
the president that the reports
were contradictory , and there
watt some doubt aa to whether
they would. Tlio president expressed
no opinion upon the Conkling and
Platt controversy or any desire
whether they should bo elected or de
feated. Davenport said that he sim
ply understood that if Strahan accept
ed , his name would bo presented to
the president , In fact the president
didn't know Strahan , and no mention
of the fact that ho was a state senator
was made to the paesidont. Daven
port told Strah an that ho presumed
his acceptance of the position would
carry with it his refusal to vote for
Conkling nnd Platt.
Davenport testified further that
Knox said he had been in Washington
ton days endeavoring to bring about a
bettor state of feeling between the
president and Conkling. Davenport
believed that if Strahan.had answered
affirmatively , that ho would bo ap
pointed. He did not Bay that he
could not accept the oflico without
reference to the otlicu of senator.
Straton did not ask him if ho would
bo expected to oppose Conkling's elec
tion.
tion.At
At Davenport's request thu despatch
that passed between him and Knox
and between him and members of the
investigation committee were put in
evidence.
The famous midnight dispatclj from
Knox to Davenportwas OH follqws :
"WASHINGTON , D. 0. , Juno 10.

How will Erhurdt or Hugh Gardiner

Davonnort also gnvo copies of his
telegraphic correspondence with 1'ost-
mastor-Gonoral James nnd Knox
granting permission to state what was
said between them concerning the
marslmlfthip.
Arlnur W. Hickman , a member of
the assembly testified that on Juno
8th when Bradley swears that Sessions
ofl'ercd him a bribe , in thu evening
Bradley said to hint ( Hickman ) that
"in obcdioncoto ths will of his con
stituents he should quit voting for
Conkling and vote for Cornell and
Uogora.
This closed the testimony and the
counsel submitted ca o without argu
ment.

mblicntion in Tin : BrR in. which sho.
nakcs some rather severe strictures
upon ono of her neighbors , charging
jrutal treatment of her mother. The
ady says thowoman'ti mother is nearly
sixty years of ago and very infirm , but
lotwithstnndintr this , she was put out
of doors n few daya ngo. Her condi
tion ispitiableandbut for the kindness
of the neighbors would bo absolutely
; crriblo. The poor old woman , no-
cording to the communication , is not
only without shoes but without the
nonoy to purchase them. The con-
luct of thu daughter is nil the more
reprehensible from the fact that she
appears to be in fair circumstances ,
If the facts of the case nro nearly aa
) adna slated the daughter's conduct
can only bo characterized aa inhuman
and 'unworthy her sex. For the
ircsmil Tin : BEK will not men-
.ion any names until such time aa the
natter can bo moro fully investigated ,
[ [ owovor the names nro now nt thia
ollice , and should thu case develop na
> nd na it nppcars on its face , it will
ju treated in an entirely different
manner.
