RIOTING ON THE TURF.
Lexington Polled Give Glaring Evidence
of Their Inefficiency.
Lexington, Ky,, Sept. 16. The
leather to-day could not have been
better. The track wag good, and the at
tendance large. The events were as
follows:
First R ace— Purse ISM; one and nne-six
tccntli miles. Lady Wayward won. with M:t
laiis second, ami Mipalnng third, fiine I : d',.

Second, and Sir Joseph Ihird. Time 1:U.
THIBP Rack -Selling purse $250; one and
one-eighth miles. Middy Bowlin-'won, with
Vain six ond, and Anna woodcock third. 1 line
1 Vending a decision, the race between
the three being very olose, a most dis
graceful riot occurred in the rear of the
stand, tli- central figures of which were
connected with the track. Whisky was j
the leading spirit. The police were fla
grantly inefficient, despite many demands
o the presiding judge to remove the
offenders, and when they at last did so
they at once released them. By order of
the’ leading official the w hole force then
turned their entire attention to arrest
ing one person, who was unfortunate
enough to express his opinion. .James
Murphy, Thomas Smith, and Wni. Mc-
Namara were this evening ruled off tLe
track for life by the jockey association.
The conduct of the police will be put be
fore the proper authorities to-morrow.

i Rawlins, Wt. TANARUS., Sept. 16.—The
j Knights of Labor have taken up the
! cudgel against the Chinese, and the ulti
j mate expulsion of the Mongolians from
the Territory Is probable. Mr. Neesham
representing the Union Pacific division of
the Knights of Labor, arrived here yes*
I terday, and was met by Mr. Bromly, rep*
j resenting President Adams, of the Union

TBS SITUATION DESPERATE.
He said to a correspondent: “The infor
mation I received to-day astounds me.
The situation is desperate and calls for
heroic measures.” It is feared that there
will be trouble unless the Union Pacific
Company recedes from its position and
sends the Chinese out of the country. It
is probable, however, that this matter
will settle Itself in a few days without in

HOUSE HOUSELESS.
Citizens Bent on Lynching Barn the
House or m Desperado in His Absence.
Frederick. 51n., Sept. 16.—Early this
morning a party of masked men rode up
to the house of Samuel House, Jr., on
South mountain, and awoke the Inmates.
They asked it House was at home, and on
being told that he was not, ordered the
house cleared, after whiob they set It on
fire and waited until it was consumed.
House is a notorious desperado, and has
tieen concerned in numerous robberies and
a-sauils. His open defiance of the law
aroused his neighbors and they formed a
plan to lynch him last night. Not finding
him at home they took their revenge by
burning bis residence. Should House be
oaught by the crowd he will undoubtedly
be hung, but no one knows his present
whereabouts.
THE LATE EMORY STORKS.
Criminals Whom He Had Defended—
Incident* of His Career.
Washington, Sept. 13.— Emory Storrs,
whose death was announced recently,
was in many respects a remarkable man*
He was the greatest criminal lawyer In the
West and, as one who knew him Intimate
ly said to-night, lias defended more mur
derers In Chicago than all the other mein
liers of the bar of that oity together He
defended Gen. O. £. Babcock In the cele
brated whisky ring cases and made one
of tb* most powerful appeals ever pre
sented to a jury. He was also the coun
sel of .Jaoob Hestng in the same series of
cases. He defended Jerry Dunn, who
killed Jim Elliott, the prize fighter, anil
at the time of his death was conducting
the defense of Macklu.the Chicago ballot
box stuffer.
Storrs used to tell a good story in re
gard to his first case when he commenced
practice. His client was a farmer, who
had had a cow killed by being run over by
a locomotive, ar.d Storrs brought suit
agsisst the railroad company. He made
an address before the jury which fore
shadowed the eloquence and power for
which he subsequently became sotamous,
and secured a verdict ot $75. When the
j farmer came to tus office to settle lie was
;in high glee, and complimented Mr.
j Storrs on his conduct of the case. “The
old cow wasn’t worth but sls, but it was
' your speech, Mr. Storrs, that got the $75,”
; said he. Storrs handed the old man $lO,
; with the remark that thal'was his share
of the sum given.
“Haven’t you mado a mistake, Sir.
1 Storrs” queried the farmer.
I “No, not, at all,” replied Storrs. “You
say the cow wasn’t worth but sl6 and
| you have paid me $5 for bringing the suit
| and the other S6O Is for the speech.”
; The farmer demurred, and Storrs finally
i threw him over another $5 bill with the
i remark: “There, take that, you old cor
j rnorant, anil getout,” and he did.
Storrs had a hobby as to neckties, and
It is said that he never wore a cravat the
second time. He was an inveterate
smoker, and always used very strong
cigars. This habit Is believed to have
been the cause of bis death.
CHICAGO'S TKKMBLING.
Precautions Against a .Small-pox Vlatta
tlon—lHnlnfectMiitM Worn by Lad;fi
Chicago, 111., Sept. 12.—The small
pox scarce In Montreal has brought Chi
cago to her feet and Dr. A. L. Rauch, of
the State board ot health, to her very
doorstop. While the medical and muni
cipal mon are strutting about with their
bands in their pockets and talking of
sanitary measures, that active little man
has succeeded In having all the school
fences oovered with vaccination notices
calling the attention of the children to the
necessity of immediate precaution. He
has gone so far as to have visited all tho
worst districts In tho city, and has per
sonally Instructed tho Inmates of cot
tages, flats and tenements as to the proper
authorities to apply to for free vaccina
tion or certificates of examination. The
result is that tho health department is
overrun with parents and children of both
sexes, of every nge, race, nation and
color. They come from alt sections of the
city, and swarm tn such numbers that
policemen are required to keep them iu
line for their own protection as well as
the convenience of the doctors.
DISINFECTANTS INSTXADOF I'KKFUMKRY.
Through the zeal ot l>r. Rauch the most
stringent rules have Isam framed by the
CbloagO Beard of Education, ai:d will be
enforced nt the opening of tliu MbOOIS
next week. Albeit, not a single case of
the dreadful scourge has been found in
the State, Its presence in Canada is con
sidered so alarmingly near Unit all classes
of society show great anxiety. Every
new disinfectant or purifying powder put
ou the market finds an immense sale, and
the preciousness of life is everywhere
i shown in the careful way that sanitary
i rules are enforced and observed. Among
the intelligent classes nil manner of ex
pedients are tried. Even charms, amu
lets, and talismen are worn by
the superstitious, while those who
have outgrown the old faith make
| dainty little aaeques, and oases, or
empty reticules, purses and vinaigrettes
for the reception ot some purifying agent.
This Is, by no means, as dlsugrecablo us
the old “assafi tlda bags" of our mothers.
Indeed, the ladies positively refuse to
have anything to do with that drug, pre
ferring the disease itself to the preventive.
Every ont) has her own pet druggist, who
compounds a fragrant mixture, by the
odor of which it Is Impossible to identify
her. What the exactingredients are it is
impossible to state; hut orris rool, loti,
balsam and myrrh are frequently recog.
nixed. The new craze has taken a firm
hold of the fancy of our young ladles, and
the perfumery trade is in a fair road to
temporary demolition.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 1885.
SUNSET OCX AT STAMBOUIi.
Ilm Flattering Reception by the Buitan
of Turkey.
From the A>m> York Telegram.
Constantinople, Aug. 20 —The full
development of Mr. Cox from the smart
Congressman into the foreign diplomatist
has at length taken place. He had his
first inter view with his Ottoman Majesty
on Tuesday last, and is now free of the
court. I should say he created a very
favorable impression on the Sultan’s
mind, as, although another audience had
been appointed tor the same day with
Count Corti, his Majesty would not
allow the new -Merman F.lehee” to leave
the palace without a private interview, at
which there was a considerable amount of
friendly chat.
It looks, in fAct, very much as If the
mantle ot Gee. Wallace’s position with
the ruler of Turkey wrs about to fall upon
his successor. I should not mvself enter
tain the slightest doubt upon the subject,
could Abdul Hamid but understand Eng
lish, for Mr. Cox, who has by his genial
manners and witty conversation already
won for himself a high position in general
society, apart from his diplomatic rank,
posseses the charm of the serpent in his
silver tongue. The brightness of speech,
however, is lost and its edge removed
when it can reach the ear but through a
foreign medium, and in appreciating per
sonal merit in such cases another stand
ard is often brought Into play. The Sul
tan has somewhat of the Prussian Fred
erick the Great’s passion for tall men, and
little Mr. Cox. small of stature, though
large in mind, may possibly not appear in
his eyes quite such a great personage as
his tall and military predecessor.
T he conversation at the private Interview
turned chiefly upon Mr. Hewitt. It will be
remembered that during the visit ot the
latter to Constantinople two years ago, he
made the acquaintance of his Majesty,
and, the Sultan taking a great liking to
the New York Congressman, a friendship
sprung up between them that has led to
much pleasant Intercourse by letter and
the frequent exchange ot gifts. The last
one on the part ot the Sultan was a lib
rary of very handsomely bound Turkish
books, many of them of rare interest, the
execution being in accordance with the
richest designs of Oriental taste, and the
subject matter a veritable gold mine to
the student of Eastern lore. A duplicate
set having been sent to the State Depart
ment, one of the first official acts of Mr
Cox in his new position has been to ten
der the thanks of Secretary Bayard on
behalf of the government tor this mark of
the Sultau’s friendly interest in America.
Mr. Hewitt, taking advantage of his
late colleague’s departure for Constanti
nople, intrusted Mr. Cox with a return
gift to the Sultan, which was sent to the
palaoe the day previous to the official re
ception of America’s new Minister to the
Porte. It Is a very handsome present,
indeed—one of the finest specimens of
artistic design and skillful execution that
ever issued from Tiffany’s workshop.
It consists of a covered vase of graceful
shape, intended as a receptacle for keep
ing in sweet isolation the American
smoking tobacco with which the
New York Congressman furnished
the Sultan from tune to time, lor it
woidd seem that Gen. Wallace, who is
much addicted to the pipe, initiated his
imperial friend Into the pleasures of the
“short clay,” tilled with Virginian leaf.
It must nave taken a bill of pretty high
figure to pay for this vase, as the precious
metals enter very largely Into its com
position. Silver, oxidized to various
shades, is blended with gold in such a
manner as to produce a very harmonious
effect in coloring. The chasing is an
arabesque design, with two shields ap
pearing on opposite sides ot the vase, the
one bearing the imperial monogram ami
the other the emblems of Turkish sover
eignty.
Accompanying the vase was a curious
matchbox in the shape of a cigar, open
ing in a very mysterious manner. This
article appears to have taken the Sultan’s
fancy greatly, as he made use of it re
iientedly during the interview. His
Majesty had ail the other gifts brought in
which Mr. Hewitt had sent him in order
that Mr. Cox might see with his own eyes
bow much they were appreciated. He
spoke in high terms of admiration and
respect ot Mr. Hewitt’s talents as a far.
seeing statesman and politician,
and said that the conversations
they had held together were
among the most pleasant souvenirs of his
intercourse with foreigners: that, as the
friend of his friend, he would extend the
same hand of fellowship to Mr. Cox that
he had given to Qn Wallace, and he
hoped they would have many opportuni
ties ot seeing each other at Tildiz, inti
mating that an invitation to the imperial
table would shortly be sent to him. Like
every one else who has approached the
Sultan, Mr. Cox returned charmed with
the urbanity that marked his reception,
and impressed with the idea that the
present ruler of Turkey Is no ordinary
man.
TWO CATSKILL BEAU STORIES.
The Famon's Frnyer war Interrupted—
They Fouled with a llouey-eating; Hear.
From the New York dun.
Rockland, N. Y., Sept. 11.—While
seated on the porch of the little hotel here
the other day a reporter saw a strange
specimen of manhood come to the build
ing. He was tall and muscular, and was
dressed in backwoods style, with trous
ers In boots, and wearing an old broad
brimmed but. The old man's face was
scarred, and he walked as If he had
tieen injured tn some way. The lundlord
was asked who the odd guest was.
"Why,” was the surprised answer,
“don’t you know Ike Jennings, the best
shot and toughest hunter In these regions ?
He Is a first-rate talker, also, and can tell
about this region when it was wild, and
bears were nearly as thick as dogs are
now. His adventures have been mar
velous.”
“I’m getfln’ old,” the old man remarked
when spokeu to about his adventures.
“I used to enjy settln’ on a log as muoh
as on any of these new-fangled soft chairs
we hev nowadays. An' I guess I’m imed
to as toniih livin' as any one in these
parts. You don't know muoh about this
region? No; well, it's a ttno place yit,
an’ all the bars an' cats nil' deer Hin’t
gone. But when l was a boy It was just
a Garden of Eden. It. held every
thing you wanted. These whs Is
covered pretty much all the ground up
here in the mountings, from Miawanguuk
to tha CattkiUa, and all tknwit Umar,
suiiivan, Delaware, and Greenecountiea.
I’eople had to carry guns then, an’ when
my sweetticnrt aud 1 went to the little
church buck lu the woods l had a gun
along lor safety. An’perhaps you don’t
know how the custom of wiinuicn folks
t,akin’ the Inside of the pew started. I do.
You see we were afraid of animals and
sat on the ends ot the benches to protect
the folks lu oase of danger. I miud once
we bad a regular shindig all on account
ot a bar. It was pretty cold that morn
ing, 'bout sixty years ago, 'long in the
fall of ’26. We got to churoh all
right, and the minister he’d
begun his long prayer for every
body and everytuing. He was pretty
quiet, when, all of a suddent, we beard
an unearthly screech, an’ we nil jumped
up. Au' there stood a monstrous great
bar right in the middle of the church. We
tried to frighten it out, but no, bn
wouldn't budge. Then we tried to get
the w in. i.o-e out, but ilint bar sot <L. % u
in tho doorway, and every time anyone
came near him he'd growl. Ho we had
one of tue young fellows got out of a
back window, and then put the wimmen
out, too, the bar watchin’ us like a cal
does a mouse. Then one of us nlmeu at
the old beast and fired, and you'd
ought to have been there. That bar
Jumped up and made a bee line for us,
and didn’t mind the big bullets we planted
in him at all. He grabbed Ben Davis, a
big strong man. and nearly squeezed the
life out of him when I drove a knife into
his rump. Then he went for me. and I
run; but one of the men put - shot In bis
eye, and be lumped on me, knockin’ me
down, an’ then fell dead on me. We
didn’t finish that ser-ioe, for Davis an’
me were both laid up. That bar weighed
800 pounds. He was a bouncer.”
The old man laughed at the recollec
tion, and continued: “1 was down to New
York a few years ago an’ saw a big bar
there, but he didn’t look like the same
critter that you see in the wilds. When
you come on a big animal all on a sud
dent, an’ know he's able to chaw you up,
and selling to squeeze the life cuten you.
It seems ilko another thing. Bars is
queer critters. Anybody’d think that
they’d be savage and eat flesh, but there’s
nothing they like as well as honey.
Thov’ll make more fuss over a bee’s nest
than a man. Once when I was hunting
on the shores of Long pond in Sul
livan county I thought 1 heard a
terrible roaring. I went forward
quiet like, and through some bus' es saw
a funny sight. Thar was a bar, and thar
was a lot ot wild bees, and they were
having a high old time. You see the bar
had found a nest, and had got at the
honey; hut the bees didn’t like it, so they
went for him, and he stood thar and
danced and rolled on the ground and
fenced at the pesterin’ things, hut with
his eyes shut all the time. In five min
utes the bees were about all dead, und
then the bar sot down an’ had a least. He
stuck his paw in the nest and scooped out
the honey, an’ then licked off his paw, I
shot that feller anil stopped his sweetenin’
of himself. An’ just think of them
big critters satin’ bugs an’ snails an’
such like, so small you can’t hardly see
’em. But they do. They turn over stones
an - eat all they can find. I saw my part
ner get killed, and was nigh joinin’ him
In the kingdom come once, just because
we fooled with a honey-eating bar. We,
that’s Bill Squires, who chummed with
me, and myself, we came on a bar one
day just as he waseatin’ a nest. He was
a big one—bigger'n a heiler—an’ we’d
ought to have let him alone. But wedidn’t.
Bill he shot, an’ then I shot, an’ we both
struck the beat. He stopped eatin’ an'
looked astonished. Then he looked
mad, an' came tor us as if he’d been shot
out of a gun. Well, sir, we run, run like
whiteheads, but that bar could outrun a
race horse, an’ he came on so we could
feel his breath. 1 dropped down, an’
Bruin lie grabbed Bill Squires and sat
down an’ growled and squeezed until the
pool fellow was dead. I put another bul
let and another one, and another one,
until he’d a small le-d mine, and then 1
stabbed him. Well,he left Squires an’ went
for me. He bit my shoulder an’ rolled me
around an’ tore my clothes all off. I
thought 1 was gone sure, but I jabbed my
knife into him whenever I got a chance.
He bit and broke my arm, an’ crushed my
hip, an’ the last 1 knew I put another
blade in him, an' be was still a growlin’.
When I got my senses, there l was in the
woods alone, covered with blood, an’ stiff
an' helpless, an’ that bar {lead alongside
of me. I got home after awhile, an’ was
In bed tour months. I’m lame yet from
that fellow’s teeth, but I’ve had revenge
on bis kiud, for I've killed scores of ’em
since.”
TENNESSEE’S ASYLUM BOARD.
They Strike a Yellow Jacket's Nest In
Their Investigations.
From tb* McKtnoie Tri-County Newt.
Drs. Jones, and Callender and Judge
East, commissioners to locate the West
Tennessee iasauv asylum, arrived in Mc-
Kenzie Tuesday, and Immediately re
paired to Finch’s (formerly Hill’s) and
the Ridley place, accompanied by Drs. J.
B. Jones, W, E. Curtis and Col. Wall. In
the afternoon they visited “Ward’s
spring” (the Snead place) and “Bon
Aqua” (Col. Wall’s place), near old Cale
donia.
In driving around through the grove at
Ward’s spring the animal driven by Col.
Wall and 1 >r. Callender very foolishly dis
turbed th retirement of a colony of yellow
jacKets. In a moment the legs of the tine
horse wore covered, and lie danced a jig
to the accompaniment of their music,
kicking the dash-board over the top of the
buggy and Dr. Callender’s hat after it, by
way of emphasizing his pleasure. Col.
Wall flew off the seat at a right tangent,
Dr. Callender a left. Col. Wall gravi
tated to the horse’s head in a moment,
where he relieved the suffering animal by
attracting them to himself. They lit on
his face and hands, and in a moment it
was “nip and tuck” which could “paw”
the fastest. Dr. Callender exploded the
old theory that ponderous Imdies move
slowly. When he lit on his left heel he
spun around once or twice and then shot
down the hill toward the spring, landing
on bis head and shoulders w ith a velocity
that would have done credit to * young
meteor. In the meantime the horse got
his foot in the buggy, whioh prevented his
leaving the country. Dr. Callender’s
elbow was strained. Col. Wall’s face
swollen, buggy and harness injured, and
horse badly skinned up covered all the
casualties.
Our citizens regret that anythtngshould
have occurred to mar the pleasure of the
gffntlenicn while with us, and whether
the building is located here or not will
rest assured tbai the successful point de
served it, as they have the utmost confi
dence in the intelligence, patriotism, hu
manity and capacity of the gentlemen.

a prolific and motherly hen, and in
order to test its patience ’Squire
Ford placed a dozen eggs under this
maternally inollned gobbler. The gobbler
set the required period, and at the proper
time the little chicks pipped their way out
ot the shells and entered this world of sor
row and pain. The gobbler seemed to
swell with pride ns he gazed on his inter
esting brood and has been as tboughful
and attentive ns the most considerate
hen. All the little chicks are thriving
and seem deeply attached to the tie-turkey
mamma.
The Largest Pilot Boat.
From tb* ,V#te York Tribun*.
Home people who happened to see a
clean, clipper-built vessel lying at the
foot of Liberty street yesterday, with
about UK) different colored flags living
from her rigging, were impressed with
the idea that they were looking at lbs i’u
ritsn with all hwr war paint on. it was
only u new pilot boat, however, the Jesse
Cat'll, which will soon be known ns idiot
boat No. 10 and be the queen ot the New
Yolk fleet. She measures more than 100
feet over all, Is of about 23 feet beam and
61 tons burden. This makes her the larg
est member of the fleet, few oi the other
boats exceeding 35 tons burden. Her ke>d
was laid at Nortbport a year or so ago by
Jesse Carl], the builder, and she was in
tended for a yacht: hut the rich young
mau for whom she was building ran out
o 1 money when her frames were up.
Others bought her and had her finished
for a pilot boat. She has wide, flush
decks, with a low rail Inlaid with ma
hogany. All the hatches and other fin
ishings of cabin and cockpit are tn ma
hogany also. Her cabin Is high between
decks and rooiuy.
THREW KISSES AND SMILED.
Why the Lady Singers of College Point
Want Hornfeller to Keslgn.
College Point, L. 1., Sept. 13.—Carl
A. Hornfeller is the bookkeeper in the
College Point rubber factory. He Is con
nected with a singing society. Reoently
he was elected a leader of the Saengerfeet
singing society. The election does not
meet with the approval of the lady mem
bers of the society, and unless Hornfeller
resigns the chances are that the sopranos
and altos will be missing at the meeting.
Hornfeller is agood singer, good Poking
and a good leader, and the ladies are fully
aware of these facts, but they require
more. Ttey want a leader with a name
abovo suspioion and whose ebaraoter is
free from stain. This they claim Horn
feller has not, and the claim Is based on
the fact that a short time sinoe he figured
In a scandal in the village.
Hornfeller is married and a man of
lamily. The object of his alleged admira
tion was a young girl employed in the
factory, and as she passed the office in
which Hornfeller was busy, he, It is said,
always threw kisses, and smiled pleas
antly at her. She did not notice him, and
tne headway he was making toward cul
tivating the acquaintance of the girl was
not satisfactory to himself. Ho it seems,
he wrote her several letters and seat tier
numerous bouquets. She tired of this
and told her brother, and he with the Til
lage constable laid a trap.
Hornfeller received a letter one evening
from the object of hie admiration request
ing a meeting. He was there, she was
not, but In her stead was her brother and
the constable. Hornfeller was warmly
received by them and he did not forget his
reception for some time, Hornfeller says
he will not resign, as he was elected as
leader, and leader he will be, while the
ladies are equally firm in their assertion
that he will not lead them.
