DARING EXPLOIT—BLOWING UP OF A TUBK-
I»H MONITOB.
Two young Russian engineer officers
attempted to reaoh a Turkish monitor
on the Danube with torpedoes,\bnt were
discovered and driven off by a heavy Are.
They returned at three o’olook in the
morning in two skiffs, oarrying a obain
with small torpedoes filled with dynamite,
They secured the chain aoross the moni
tor’s bows and fired it by means of eleo<
tricity, when the monitor,disappeared.
The destruction of this monitor was re.
ported Saturday, but neither name was
given nor soene of the exploit located.
Another aooonut of the destruction of
the monitor says it was one of the most
daring deeds ever reoorded. A small de-
taohment of Bussian soldiers left the
northern shore of the Danube in a number
of small boats. The night being very
dark, they managed to surround the mon
itor before being discovered. When final
ly observed by the sentries on board they
were challenged. The Major replied in
Tu.kish—“friends"—The Turks not satis
fied, commenced firing in the direction of
the machine, not knowing where the boats
came from. The shots flaw wide. Dur
ing the firing several Bussian soldiers
plunged into thb water, swam silently to
the vessel and placed the torpedo in dose
contact with her bottom. After it had
been securely fastened, the men returned
to the neighboring shore. The monitor
was blown into the air and all on board
perished.

There was no traoe of anything like a

DANGEROUS SITUATION AT BUSTOHUK.
London, May 28.—The Timet' Bustchnk
correspondent writes as follows : The 20
odd thousand troops of this garrison are
the perfection of soldiers. They are
browu, opened faoe, big shouldered fel
lows, perfectly resigned to any fate.
Allah may have for them, with perfect
faith in the bankrupt Government for
the chief of whioh they shout and saloam
every evening at sunBet. The disorderly
Moslem element is in a state of great fury
with the Bulgarians and foreigners gen
erally. The Christians are frightened to
death, lest some impudent member of
their faith should provide the spark which
might light up such a glare as would
throw Batok into the shade completely.
Even the Consuls have to bo oareful for
their lives. Proofs of the extreme and
dangerous tension of the stations
between Moslem and non-Mosslemeu
could be given without. Mr. Beads, the
English and American Consul here, who
has never been aooused throughout the
late troubles, of being in anyway preju
diced against tbe Turks, but who has
been suspeoted of leaning the other way,
thinks that matters are as serious as they
oan be, and his urgent warnings are ig
nored both at Downing street and Con
stantinople. It is believed by some here
that Bussian influence in the form of
money isartfnlly planning a dreadful out
break, and that there are no friends to
the TurbB wbo do not insist upon a stop
being put to tbe irregularities, the firm
repression of whioh would give satisfac
tion to deoent Mohommedans and non-
Mnsselmen alike.

Ten Broeek’a Ureal Raec Efaleat
Time.
Louisville Speoial to the Cincinnati Commer
cial.!
Just before the start, Gen. Abe Buford,
with hiB watoh in his hand, said to a
friend, who expiessed doubt as to Ten
Broeck’s ability to accomplish the feat
before him: “Well, I don't want to win
any money on this raoe, and I’ve got a
oolt that oan beat this horse right here,
either to-day or to-morrow, but I will bet
$5 that Ten Broeok beats 1:41}, I will
liet $10 that he beats 1:41$, I will bet
$25 that he beats 1:41, $50 that he beats
1:40$, and $25 to $50 that he beatB 1:40.”
The latter bet was takon in proportion,
the General betting $2 to A4. How the
fat warrior laughed when he rammed that
two dollar bill into his pooket abont two
minutes later.
When the three horses had been warm
ed up, St. Louis galloped over to tbe half
mile pole, and the President tapping tbe
drum as Ten Broeok . and Early Li,
reached the string, the raoe was on. 1
paoe was not so strong at first as it had
been expeoted'it would be. Ten Broeok

Gloas Brothers, linen importers, have

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Special to the Enquirer-Sun.]
Ohioago, May 28.—Late on Saturday
afternoon E. E. Hinkley, President of
the Chicago and Paducah, Chicago and
Iown, and other road- less well known,
was arrested upon the charge of oonspir-
aay to defraud, and put under a fifty
thousand dollar bond. The oomplainnnt,
Fisher, of London, a wealthy Englishman,
and heavy bondholder in the Ohioago and
Faduoah Boad, and who represents abont
$100,000 of bonds in that road, alleges
that Hinkley went to England in 1878,
and by means of false representation con
cerning the amount already invested in
this road, the aid it would reoeive from
eounties, and the returns it brought in,
seonred £180,000 in return for bonds.
Mr. Hinkley states the whole railroad
transaotion has been honorable through
out, and the arrest is merely a blackmail
ing soheme whioh will not work.
atartiug'off a little cold and Early Light
not being fast enough to stimulate him to
any extent. He could not get near him
in the first quarter, whioh was run iD 24$
seconds, and on Iho back stretoh he lelt
her clear behind, running to the half mile
post in 40$ seconds. There the running
was taken up by 8t. Louis, who made the
paoe about as hot as the groat raoer want
ed it. They went neok and neek around
the lower turn at an extraordinary rate of
Bpeed, and roaohod tho throe quarter pole
in 1:13$. Tho third quarter was the
fastest run. They oame plunging down
the home atretoh head and head, and at
the distance pole 8t. Louis gaining slight
ly on Ten Broeok, the latter waa whipped
to bring him to time. He responded
nobly, aud the two went under the string
cheek by jowl.
The great feat had been aooomplished,
and, amid the moat enthusiastic cheering
ever heard on a raoe coarse, the time
made by Ten Broook was put up—1:39}.
The horse was cheered lustily for tally
two minutes after his jookey, Billy Walk
er, had been reoognized by the judges,
aud ho was then taken by bia proud, but
by no raeanB, flurried, owner to the shade
of the olul> house, and there oooled out.
Nono of the horsemen who held watch
es on tbe horse made his lime less than
1:40. Gen. Buford made it 1:40 exaotly,
and so did Oapt. Beard, of Lexington.
Mr, John B. Whaley, of Oinoinnati, an
expert timer, made it 1:3!yt-5. But it
was universslly oonoeded that the offioial
timers, Oapt. Wm. Cottrell, of Mobile,
and Ool. R. A. Johnaon and Mr. J. B.
Buss Butler, of LouiBville, having the
advantage of position, timed tbe horse
oorreotly to tbe last fraotion of a seoond.
Ten Broeok’s performance waa really
surprising. He ran to beat the time of
Searoher, an Enquirer eolt, that ran at
Lexington in the fall of 1875, as a three-
year-old, oarrying ninety pounds. Kadi
subsequently ran in 1:41$ at oatch
weights, at Hartford, Oonn.; but to-day
Ten Broeok out the record down to 1:39},
as a five-year-old oarrying 110 pounds.
To All, Parilealarljr Invalids,
Spring is a trying season. Indications
of sickness should at onoe be attended
to. Fatal diseases may be oansed by al
lowing the bowels to beoome oonatipated
and the system to remain in a disordered
oondition, until tbe disorder has time to
develop itself. An ounce of prevention
is worth e pound of oure, is en old and
trntbfnl saying. Therefore, we advise
ell wbo ere troubled with the oomplsints
now very prevalent—headaohe, indiges
tion, disordered liver, want of appetite,
nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Sohenck’s Mandrake Pills. We
know of no remedy so harmless and deci
sive in its action. It at once strikes at
the root of tbe discaso aud produoos a
healthy tone to the system. People nev
er need suffer from any disease arising
from a disordered oondition of the liver,
if they would take this exaelleut medi
cine when they feel tho first indications
of the malady. Families leaving home
for the sununar months should take three
or four boxes of these pills with them.
Thoy have an almost instantaneous offeot.
They will relieve tho patient of headaohe
in one or two hours, and will rapidly
cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and
will effeotnally prevent a bilious attaok.
They are sold by all druggiBts.

My Dear Sir:—I have received the

same guarantees for efficiency and fidelity
in the eeleotion of the ohief and subordi

should have no more influence in
