Considering tbe n imher of horses in the race, but llttlo trouble was had in itartlng. Golden Prlnoo led, followed olosely by Jim Simmons and Lady Helen. Bright Light secured a poor start but caiue through the bunch rapidly and finished second. The octis then went up to 1 to 6, so strong was her finish. That ;:ood judgment was shown is seen in the fact that tbo next three beato she captured. In tho third heat Golden Prinoe again secured the load but near the half Bright Light overhauls him nod in a doN finish wou out by half a length. Dandy Boy led off in the fourth heat, followod closely by Mra Joe, but before tbe latter had gone a bundrod yard^ one of ^he sulky wheels broke, and she dropped out of the race, jüullross, the driver, suoceedod in stopping the horse and fortunately no oue was injured.

Word has been re-oelved that the agent was arrested at Kirkwood, Ma, and to now behind the bars at Springfield. When Counoil left Springfield so suddenly two weeks ago, there was absolutely no clue 08 to his dratiuation. He disappeared as completely as if the earth had opened and swallowed him up. Telegrams wore sent In every direction giving a description of the missing dma but up to lost Friday there appeared bnt little likelihood of bis being overhaoled. In fact, the general pobUo and railroad men did not boIievB that any effort was being made by the C. & A. offici ato to capturo Counoil or to pr(»eeute him for the ti leged crooked work. Hto capture aud arrest are therefore a surprisA Early last week a clue was secured to the efltot that he was seen in St. LouIa and the detective hastened south. It was loarnod there that Counoil bad boarded a Missouri Paclllo train for Kansas City,and the detective followed. By oare-ful inqnlry it was learned that the fugitive left the train at Ktrkw(x>d, a email town in St Louis county and bat a short distaUQo from St. Louía intending to throw any possible puraners off the trail. Tbe detectivQ also loft tho train at Kirkwood ond after a long search found bis man in an obscure lodging bonse and ar rested him. Counoil made no resistance to being taken into custody but apparently resigned himself to his fate. The detective and Counoil went to Uhl cago togetlmr Sunday and had a eoufer-onoo with tho C. & A. officials there. Monday noon the two boarded a Wabosb train for Springfield arriving there that samo evening. The pair left the train at the O. & M. crossing atul stopping into a surrey that was in waiting were driven rapidly to Justice Brlnkerboff’s court Tho justice and state’s attorney oi San gamon county wore in waiting, having been uotilled by wire. Conneil appeared very much downcast and dispirited. He woived examination and the bonds were placed at 13,009. In defanlt, be was p)ao:d in tbe oounty jail. Hto (amiiy oalled to see him thera It is reliably reportad that be bos made a full o(mf(»8ioo of hto operations and will throw himself on tbe meroy of the court and proseoutlon. His arrest will upset the theory gonerally hold that the railroad bad no desire to prosoonte him or tbe oooductors alleged to be In on tbe deal. It is not thought, however, that the oompany wHl prooead agaiast anyone but Counoil, bat developrnents within the next few days will determine this point.
