THE FIRST SPRING RACE , A Goodly Sized Gathorlngr to See Donovan Win It THE DOINGS. OF THE COURT. * An Application to Disbar a Promi nent Attorney Mayor Ilohrir KncoiirnKOi Tree I'lnntlng. Donovan a Winner. The race at the driving park yesterday afternoon between J. C. Reynolds' chestnut filly , Sangaraw , and J. Davis' chestnut goldlnp , Donovan , was attended by a very good-sized crowd , In fact , it was frequently remarked that nearly M many people turned out to see a single half mlle dash as wcro present last spring at the four days' running meeting given by the association. The affair was a match race for $200 a side , mid at tracted considerable attention among local horsemen for some tlmo past , as both ani mals are very speedy , and were lit to run for a man's life. The day was very pleasant , the only disagreeable feature being a lively breero that blow r.ithcr too forcibly from the northwest. The track was in splendid con dition considering the tlmo of year , and everybody was confident of a good race. They wore not disappointed. It was previously announced that the horses would bo sent oil at half p.ist" , but it was a quarter after ! J before the jockeys and starters mot at the half mile post for their preliminary skirmish. Enoch Turner came up from Maryvlllo , Mo. , yesterday noon for the express purpose of riding Donovan , and Lon Johnson backed the mare. J. T. Stewart , Colonel W. F. Sapp and Charles Gregory occupied pltces in the judges' stand , Theodore Bray and Henry Meyers oillciatcd as starters , and Charles Stownrt.nnd Thomas Bowman pre sided over tha stop watches. Both horses showed up well as they were given a llttlo worming up , the mare being especially keeji and showing a world of speed. They were sent oft to a splendid start on the second trial , wit h Sangaraw at the pole , butDonovan slipped as ho got the word , ana Turner came within an ace of going over his head. Ho re covered quickly , however , and was soon busily at work to make up nearly a lencth of lost ground. The pace was sot very fast from the start , and the first quarter was traversed in 24 3-5 seconds. As they swung Into the stretch Johnson foollshlv let go of the mare's head , and she begun to "wab ble. " Donovan crept up , but the mnrc swerved over In front of him , nnd ho then tried to ! > ass on the inside. Johnson began to drive , Imt Turner was riding for blood , nnd the boy's efforts availed nothing. The horse came along straight and swift as a bullet , and went under the wire- half length win ner without n stroke of the whip. It was an exhibition of the finest riding seen on this track In many a day. and Turner sustained his reputation us a suc cessful jocitoy. The time was 50 1-5 seconds. The spectators were satisfied , es pecially those who placed their cash In the right place. The betting was not heavy , as odds of 3 to ? C on Donovan found few takers. It was remarked that with a different rider on Sangaraw the result mlcht have been dif ferent , but it was ono of the chances that are inevitably found on the rnco tr.iek , nnd the loser could only smile grimly and hope for better results next tiice Xlio District Court. The attachment cases against E. L. Yoder , of Mlndun , occupied Judge Doemcr's atten tion In the district court yesterday forenoon. Fremont Benjamin , esq. , appeared for the defense , and Sapp & Pusy for the creditors. During the afternoon the matter was re sumed , and Mr. Benjamin tried to push them through in the absence of opposing counsel , but the court would not have it , and the cases will como up again this morning. The grand Jury was ompannollcd at 2 o'clock , and set to work. Several of the regular panel were excused , and I. N. Boron , of Crescent , was sworn in to rnnko up the required number. The other six members are J. P. Allensworth , Silver Creek ; Wil liam Bunch , HocKford ; F. W. Edwards , Lewis ; James Osbomo , Hazel Dell ; O. W. Pierce , Washington , nnd Edward Walsh , Norwallr. Five prisoners confined in the county Jail were then brought into court and attorneys assigned to their defense. Undo Sam's Justice. The last batch of Indictments returned by the federal grand Jury before their adjourn ment was filed in the United States court yesterday morning. There wore flvo of them , and three of the indicted parties are under arrest. They are Haner , Hawkins nnd Swrct , the men arrested some time since for counterfeiting. They were ar raigned Immediately , pleaded not guilty , and wcro remanded to Jail. They will bo brought up again this morning , when they will prob ably withdraw the former plea and plead guilty. Otherwise arrangements will bo made to continue their c.ises until next term. J. H. D.ivls pleaded to sending obscene literature through the malls , and was sen tenced'to tlvo days In the Polk county jail. Ho has already been in jail tliree months m Marian county awaiting trial. M. Lucas pleaded guilty to a similar oifense , ana was lined flu and costs. Mrs. Dorrls Meyer , of Dcnlson , pleaded guilty to wilfully omitting to post her special postage stump in a conspicuous place , and was lined $10 and costs. Attacking nn Attorney. Mr. Cornish , of the Omaha firm of Bartlett - lett & Cornish , attorneys , appeared before Judge Love , in the fenoral court yesterday morning , nnd petitioned for the disbarment of Colonel D. B. Dallo.v , ox-county prosecut ing attorney , and a highly respected resident of this city. Mr. Cornish appeared for Mrs. Eliza D. Slack , and represented that Colonel Dalloy , as attorney for Mrs. Slack on a former occasion , had withheld $400 that ho had collected for his client and illegally con verted to his own use. This was the ground alleged for the desired disbarment. The mutter was an Intense surprise to every spectator In the court room , us well as for the members of the bar. "H the court please , " continued Mt. Cor nish , " 1 should Ilku to Imvo tno matter dis posed of by the 1st ot May , us I wish to leave then on aEuropean trh ) . " Notwithstanding an oxporlenro of thirty years on the federal bench , Judqo Love was staggered by tha request for such speedy ac tion , and for some time stared blankly over his spectacles at the motionless Jiguro before htm. htm."It "It nccms to mo , " said the court , "that a charge of this maiinltudo must bo of consid erable importance , at least to thu defendant , nnd ono that must not bo recklessly has tened. Thu case must go over until next term. In the meantime the defendant is or dered to appear anil show cause , and lllo his answer. " The Omaha disciple of Coke and Blackstone - stone looked In dumb surprise-at a Judge who would not disbar an attorney without a hear ing In order to accommodate a man witullltlo leisjro time who wanted to tuko a tripueroas the mighty deep , Ho nhouhleivcd his grief us best ho could and closed up his business as quickly us possible. Colonel Dally placed the mutter In the handt of Messrs. Happ & Pusoy , and his answer was tiled In a short time. It was not vnry lengthy , and placed a very different coloring on the matter. It contained a full recltalof thu facts Imuliug to thu present proceeding , unJ Is herewith given , The defendant makes the following answer and rnuly to plaintiff's petition andcomplalnl : "Camus now D.

Slack In said action and to others at her request and di rection by D. B. Dniloy were fairly and rea sonably worth the sum of $750 , which had not been paid prior to the receipt of the money In controversy in this action , nnd that the sauio has not been paid or settled for by defendants with D.

The case will not como up for trial until the September term. Much Indig nation Is expressed by the attorneys of the city over the matter , and their sympathy Is plainly with the defendant.

The inter-stnto commerce commission to-day began its hearing - ing in the case of the Grand Trunk railway company , of Canada , upon the charge con tained In the order of the commission issued March 28 last , of violating the mtor-stato commerce law by grunting rebates on traffic taken from points in the United States to points in Canada , and by charging loss than their published rates on such shipments. Otto Klrsclinor appeared as counsel for the Grand Trunk company. The information , upon which the citation was Issued , was at least in part furnished by the Michigan Cen tral railroad , which was represented by Ashley Pond as Counsel , and Mr. Ledgard as Its president. In opening the case , Pond said it was freely admitted that the Grand Trunk company has charged to largo shippers of coal and coke from Buffalo und Black Hock a rate considerably less than the published fVitu , which ho held to bo a direct violation of the Intor-stato commcrcn law. Rischner , on behalf - half of his company , denied that any rebates had been allowed shippers on business origin ating in the United States. Special rates , however , had been made with receivers of coal in Canada , which wore In some cases less than the regular tariff rates. Ho stated that these- special rates wore plainly stated In the contracts inudo with shippers. Kirsch- nor contended that this trafllc , from points in the United States to points In Canada , did not como within the control or jurisdiction of the intor-statn commerce commission. The amended inter-stato comraoro > act says that the provisions of the act shall apply "to anycommon carrier engaged in transportation from any place In the United States to an adjacent foreign country , " and ho contended tnut the propnr Interpretation of thu mean ing of the words would bo to the border of nn adjacent foreign country , and not "into" that foreign country. Kir chner Insisted that it was not within the jurisdiction of congress to regulate commerce into another country. It might bo very proper , ho thought , to regulate traillo from a point in thu United Status through a foreign country to another point m the United States , or from ono state to another , but not into a forclcn country. Ho asked ten days to lllo a prilled brief , which was granted. Annrenlstla Fire JKHSUV CITV , N. J. April 4.

Ho Cut * Ills Diittghtor'a Tliront nnd Tlion Takes Jlls Own Mlts PiTTsnuuo , April 4.-'Ed\vard Dcitz , a laborer who resided with his wife and family In this city , killed one of his children this morning , a girl three years old , by cut ting her throat with a razor , and then ended his own Ufa in a llko manner. The deed was the outcome of a quarrel between Dcltz and his wife , which started last night , The cause of the tMgedy wai the refusal of Mrs. Doltz to semi for the eldest daughter , Lena , who was living out as a domestic , to coma homo. Doltz wanted his wife to live out and the daughter to take her placo. After driving Mrs. Dcitz and all the children but the baby from the house , Deitz sent a mes sage to Lena that If she was not at homo In an hour ho would kill every ona in the family. She did not obey him , and the re fusal of the others to return probably alone prevented the monster from putting his threat into execution. Cleveland's ItcjcctlotiH Overruled. WASIIISOTON , April 4.
