fct.illlon NntpM from
Nr.w Youic , Oct. 12. There Is made public
the story of ISookmakor Peter OoUacy's fight
with the Dwyors , and how and why .tho Now
Jersey race tracks Imvo boon unopened nil

the Dwycri began moro than n year n'ga
They own n race track at Linden , N. J.
They undertook to drlvo nil of the city book-
roAkors out of thu business by refusing to al
low thorn thu customary privilege of having
telegraphic communication with the track ,
Del acy alone sent word that If ho was frozen
out Lo would stop horse racing in New Jor-
toy. Tlio OvvyoM laughed at htm. Ho Im
mediately went around among the clergymen
and tried to get them to denounce horse rac
ing mid the gambling Incidental thereto.
"Public sentiment was so strong , " ho told
n friend recently , "that nearly all the minis
ters were nfniid to offend It by attacking tbo
racing Interest. The tracn owners were
poworfuand ) DO were the railroad companies ,
whoso trains carried people to the races. "
Hut UcLiiey kept hammering away until
ho aroused the clergymen. First one then
another preached sermons against the crying
Dvlls of racing nnd betting. 1'uulic meetings
weru called to do away with the ovll. High
on the reformers' platform sat Peter , full of
good counsel for thu fens of wickedness. The
facts ho gave them made their hair curl from
Burprlse. Public sentiment turned against
the ungodly race tracks and their promoters.
The pram ! Jury indicted the proprietors of
the Elizabeth track. They laughed. By
changing the venue to n remote county , Do-
Lacy's lawyers obtained a fair Jury nnd con
victions of the indicted men. They stopped
laughing. The chancellor called them out. to
the bar and told them that as they were
brought before him for the offctiHo of main
taining a race track , ho would line thorn the
limit mid send them to prison for ns long a
term as the law allowed. TLnt killed racing

"I mndo up uiy mind , " quoth Peter , "that
If 1 sank , they would drown with me. I kept
my promise. As long ns i'vo cot a dollar by
mo 1 intend to use it In this lignt. I'm no
warrior , but when my living is being taken
nway from mo I'll glvo them astrmrglo for it.
I don't pretend that horse racing is the best

LEXINOTO.V , ICy. , Oct. 1U. The Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders association meeting
opened today with a largo attendance of
leading horsemen from all parts of the union.
The day was n perfect ono in every respect ,
the sun shining brightly and a gentle breeze
blowing. Under careful handling the
track was in beautiful condition , and
fast. Thu most intense interest
of course centers in the great
match race for a pursaof $ S,000 on Thursday
between Allcrton and Nancy Hanks. This
Interest has been intonslilcd by the fact that
Nancy took cold at Terre Haute and was re
ported to bo Indisposed since nor arrival

.SANITATION SOhVKI ) .
School Board Docidca to Trust to
Wclircr to Ventilate.
Sanitary ventilation was about the first
interesting subject brought before the Board
of Education last night.
The recent investigation made by Dr.
Clark Gapen and ethers nad evidently pro
duced some effect upon the board.
Mr. Babcook ottered a resolution to have a
permanent , committee on sanitation ap
pointed to look after all matters of sanita-
tityi connected with the public
school buildings. Ho supported the resolution
by saying that several members of the board
had recently visited some of the school buildIngs -
Ings aud Had found them In an unsatisfac
tory condition , from a sanitary point of view.
Ho thought it snould bo madu the duty of a
special committco to look after all special
eases where unsanitary conditions prevailed.
Mr. Wchror was un in arms against ( , ho
resolution. Ho took It as being a direct slap
at the committco on heating and ventilation ,
of which hois chairman. Mr. Wehrer re
minds ono of what Mononlus said to
Clonolanus : "He Is unschooled in
bolted language. Ho throws out bran nnd
meal together without distinction " In dis
cussing Air. Babcock's resolution Mr.Wohrer
said :
"Tnem buildln's has been heated and ven-
tllatud for years. If you listen to tncso follux
you would wonder how the children of Omaha
llvo. They have some now schemes thuy
want to shove In hero , but they won't go't
them In. If Mr.'Babcock wants to ventilate
anything I would llko to see nim ventilate It
right bore. "
Mr. Babcoclt's resolution was defeated ,
and then ho offered another one to have a
set of rules prepared by u special committee
for the guidance of teachers and janitors in
ventilating the school rooms.
This resolution was also distasteful to Mr.
Wchror and hU friends. They hold that
tha committco on heating and ven
tilation was capable of handling
the work that properly belonged to it with
out the inturferonco or Interposition of u
special committed.
Mr. Martin said that the board seemed to
liuvo been taken with a spoqial ventilation
'
spasm. Ho thought It had 'been induced by
Dr. Clark Gapon , who claimoel to have
round the school buildings in vary
bad condition. Mr. Martin thought the
committee on neating and ventilation
coulel look-after thuso matters If the chair
man , Mr , Wohror , would take the troubln to
call tha committee together occasionally.
Mr. Habcock's resolution was defeated.
After disposing of much routine work ,
during which Messrs. McConnull and Glbbs
Indulged In un Interchange of
[ lorsonalltie's the board wont Into committee
3f the whole on thn bond proposition. Build
ings and sites were discussed at length. The
report of the comuiltwo was adopted.

gram to THE HKI-Tun : | nnuuul eonvontioii
of the Io\vu Fiinnors nlllancuvtilcli will
moot in this city at 0 a. in. tomorrow promises
to be ono ot tlio Inriwt unit most notable
gathering of representative farmers over held
In the state. Tlio succo.is of tnls organiza
tion Is largely duo to tlio conservative policy
adopted by Its onieera and to tlio push and
energy displayed by a corps of carofnlly
selected local orgimi/ers. The alliance , so
far , bin kept measurably free from nil
political cntnnglonionti , preferring to maito
Its power felt In the party caucus.
Among these who will bring credentials as
dolugatos will bo a number of former niQin-
bors of the legislature and several present
candidates for both the houao and senate.
Hon. licorgu Van lloutan of Taylor , the re
publican nominee for lloutonunt governor ,
is un active member of the alliance , ana will
undoubtedly bo herons u duletiato
.SOIUR Trouble Alioatl.
During the pint year the aggressive lend
ers of the peoples independent party have
been actively at work to switch tlio alliance
off on political lines and commit tlio organ
ization to the third party movement. In the
Klfrtith , Ninth and Eleventh congressional
districts their schemes were partially suc
cessful , ana elated by their victory over
their conservative brethren , they eomo to the
stale inecilng with the avowed" purpose of
turning the alliance into a political machine
to bolster up the fortunes nf Westfall
their candidate for governor and the re
mainder of the Independent ticket. All hopes
of a harmonious mooting have been cast
aside by both parties , and it will bo war to
the knife from start to finish.
The two oQlccra of the state alliance who
have boon specially active in thwarting the
deslirns of the political tricksters are State
Secretary August Post and W. N. Sargeant ,
lecturer for the state alliance , and against
thorn the forces of the opposition will bo nr-
raycd. President Furrow is serving his
second term and will hardly bo a candidate
for ro-electlon.
As each local alliance is entitled to one.
and each county to three delegates , the total
attendance may possibly reach 1,000 , but as
the rornoto countlesaregenerally rcprosontcit
by only a part of their delogales the total
number will likely fall under half of that
figure.
Now On tlip Ground.
Only a few straggling delegates have ar
rived ; notononirh to base any prediction as
to the tinal outcome. Among those present
are : President .1. B. Furrow of Oarwin ,
Vice President Blame of ICnowvlllo , Secre
tary August Post ot Moultou and Hon. J. B.
Peck of Hampton , . ! . P. Mills of Spencer and
S. M. Full-child of Mllford. The three last
named constitute the auditing committee of
the state nlliauco and iheyare burily engaged
in looking over the vouchers of the secretary
ana treasurer preliminary to tlio meeting.
The indications are ttiat the report of this
committee will show that the alliance is in
iood ilimncial condition. Thu sessions will
Bo hold in the Capital City opera house and
ill reporters and other outsiders will bo ex
cluded though no great ' effort will
LJO made to keep their deliberations secret.
This alliance has never taken kindly to
secret work , but rather prefers that the pub
ic shall have full knowledge of the alms and
jbjeets of the organization.
Other Alliance Meetings.
The session of the state alliance auxiliary
.o the Southern Farmers Alliance aud Indus-
: ral ! Union will also open tomorrow. As tlio
. onstitulion provides only for county repre
sentation the attendance will not exceed
Ifty or sixty , but will iucludo seme farmers
) f state wide reputation. Among these are
Jx-Seuator C. E. Whiting of Monona , ana
iV. J. Wostfull candidate for governor.
President J. M. Joseph and Sccietary George
B. Lang of Crestou , are already hero , and
joth profess to bo highly gratified at the
irogross made in alliance work under their
llrections during the past year. They are
ion-committal on the question of fusing the
\vo organizations , but intimate that the
National nllianco is on its last lew and will
ipeodlly die out , leaving them masters of the
iituation.
Delegates Caucusing.
Informal meetings 'arc being hold by the
lologates to both alliances , but in separate
mils. There are indications that.tho inde
pendents have packed the alliance delegations
'rom several counties with their adherents ,
md sent their strongest and ablest speakers
, o lead the fight in favor of tl.o third party
novoment. So far only tvvontj-llvo or thirty
lulegates to the Soutnern r.lllance have
irrived. Including Campooll and Woshfall
if Monona and .Joseph of Union. It is now
iractically settled that a strong effort
vill bo made to consolidate the
wo organizations upon the Ocala
platform with some slight modifications ,
mt the scheme will meet with the united
position of all the delegates to the northern
.lllanco who do not belong to the people's
iarty.
The opposition to the sub-treasury nlnn is
cry pronounced among the more consorva-
ivo delegates , and should this measure ho
ndorsed an open rupture in the organization
t sure to follow.
Tlio auditing commlt.too has finished the
xamlnation of the books of the secretary and
rcnsurur and finds vouchers on lllo for every
ollar expended.

Hunt that thu government should ostub-
ish more stringent regulations to

Itatos and Canada to Great Britain was
Ivan today upon the arrival at Dundee of
ho British steamer Storm King , which
allod from Montreal September 'M. Thu

eoson of the year was experienced by
ho Storm King. She had on board ( J'M
oad of cuttle , stalls nf which hud been
reeled between docks and on the main dock.
L. houvy sea was encountered and much
/ator shipped , necessitating the closing of
lie vontlhuors leading lo the between ilceks
tul the battening down of tlio hutches. This
f course , prevented the air access to the
old and the cattle in the stnds there were
uiny of them .suffocated. The stalls on dock
, -uru of thu usual Illmsy construction , and
oino of the seas which boarded tlio ship tore
hctn to pieces and carried them nud the
atilo In them overboard. Others of the
vo cargo were so badly Injured by the roll-
ILJ and pitching ot the steamer , it being
npossiblo fur them to keep their feet , that
; was expedient to kill them to put them out
f their agony. Out of the total consign-
lent of 080 head of cattle , 15'J were lost.
