FIFTEEN EUNDRED MILES IN A
THOUSAND HO LIR S.
(From the Manchester Guardian)
The a.s'onishicg feat of walking 1,500 miles in
1,000 hours—commencing each mile and a half with
.each successive hour--was completed at the Borough
Gardens, Salford, on Saturday morning, by James
Jones. We have noticed Jones's progress several times
during the six weeks he has been engaged in his un-
dertaking ; and we need only add that, as was foreseen,
kis nervous excitement became very great during his
t'walkinglking on Friday night and Saiurday morning. It
was during this time that his medical
result for
attendants had
the greatest fear that brain fever
mightt-fered although Jones has on the whole u less
respect than might have been ahticipated, it.wlan;atfbeilst
that the excitement caused by the near completion of
his task might readily prove too much for
him,
if
did not result fatally. Oa Saturday morning the
con-
course of spectators in the gardens was very large,
=rich interest, and even sympathy, was manifestedand
swheu Jones appeared for his last start at eleven
o'clock. Having just slept soundly, he was then cool
and easy, and conversed with his friends, saying
that he was sure be could finish by doing the mile
and a half in thirteen minutes ; his pulse was then at
74, being very little faster than that of a healthy man.
He completed his distance, and his work, in 12 mi-
mutes 58 seconds ; but during that time he had be-
come so fearfully excited—probably as much from
the presence and enthusiasm of the spectators and
the tones of a band of music, as from his own exer-
tions—that when he went into the place where he
has slept, it was found that his pulse had risen to
126. He continued very restless, and all the attempts
made to induce sleep entirely failed. Mr. Storey,
druggist, of Salford (who has been a good deal in
attendance upon Jones) with Mr. Royle, surgeon, and
14others, strongly advised that Jones should not be al-
0-,Ltd to commence walking the 100 quarter-miles in
as many successive quarter-hours, which he had re-
solved to d'o at six o'clock in the evening ; but,
es did not sleep, he was resolved to
go

during any one of his brief intervals of rest from walking, he should not he again aroused to
bresume
his task. About midnight he was found to e
immediately on lying down, and he was accordingly allowed to sleep until five o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. He then again commenced walking,and con-
tinued to walk the quarter miles until seven in the
evening, at which time he would have completed the
100, had not exhausted nature demanded rest. The
fact of the break which had occurred during the
night was fairly made known to the thousands who I
flocked to tia%ossardens during Sunday w
payments for admission were all Jones, receih
voseed
for his continued ezert-ion after the completion of his
first terrible task. The 100/. promised to Jones by
theproprietor of the gardens, when he undertook his
pesfectly unapproached feat, were paid to him at
three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. It is under-
stood that Jones never before attempted anything like
a pedestrian feat, except on one occasion, when he
walked seven miles in less than an hour ; but he has
now proved himself possessed powers of endurance I

DREADFUL DEATH OF THREE CIIILDREN.—A
frightful occurrence has just happened at Nevin, near
Pwllheli, North Wales. The wife of a lab,urer, who lives
in a house remotely situated from other dwellings, had occa-
sion to go for milk to a farm at some distance, and during
her absence locked her three children, aged respectively five,
three, and one years, in the cottage; a large quantity of
corn in the straw having been prev pl there. This by some means became ignited,io andusly onaced the return
of the woman she found the house on fire and her three
children burnt to ashes. The mother is in a state of dis-
traction.
