The Attempt 10 walk 100 iaile- VsItn-
out Hest in ~ HlOurs Proves a
Failure -Ehc Distance Covered in
About 23 ETOEr.

All through the long and silent night of
Tuesday the young pedestrian who under
took to remain on his feet without rest Of
any description for twenty-five hours, and
who stipulated to walk 100 miles in
that time, continued his weary march at
Beacon Park. He was followed most of
the time by young men and boys who are
interested in this kind of sport. and Tie
beams of the moon Int up the scCue so
well that Cushing could he plainly dis
cerned at different points ON the mile cir
cult. His fastest time was made early
Wednesday morning, when be finished two
miles in succession in ten minutes each.
lie completed fifty miles between 6 o'cocl,
and o'clock Wednesday morning, making
that distance with margin of time to
spare. The intense heat affected him some
what during the day, and his neck, arms
and legs were badly sunburnt and sore.
Cushing exhibited great determination and
possesses a heap of pluck rs, under these
circumstances, it was thought he would
wilt in his tracks before the sun was high
est in the heavens. The young fellow was
unattended by physician, and the care
which he received during the task was not
such as TO assist him very materially in
keeping upon his feet. The substitution of
a little beef tea for the bottles of ginger ale
which he imbibed would have been de
cided improvement. His diet was sherry
and eggs and crackers at midnight, and
beelstakc and tea during the day. As early
as one o'clock il the afternoon it was evil
dent that he could not accomplish the task,
and as his gait soon became slower, all pro-
spect of carrying ont the stipulaiions was
lost AT 800 o'clock he had finished the
95th mile, and then had only eighteen min
utcs in which to walk the remaining five
miles. Ninety-siX miles were walked in
side of twenty-five hours, with one minute
and forty seconds to spare. On this
mile he walked faster, with one ex-
ception, than at any time during
the afternoon, his time for the
mile being 1920. The ninety -seventh mile
was finished in 1850; the nincty-eighth
mile in 20:10 the ninety-ninth mile in
1910, and the one hundrcdth mile in six
teen minutes the first half of the last mile
having been completed in six minutes and
thirty seconds. The full distance was walk
ed in twenty-three hours and two minutes.
The feat was an honest one, and proves
that Gushing has great endurance. lie re-
sumed his ordinary clothing after finishing
the ''spin,' and rode to his home in Boston
in horse car, the only sign of exhaustion
noticed being after he had rested his feet
for the first time in nearly twenty-four
hours The attendance was quito slim and
the profits small, but purse was made up
for Gushing during the afternoon, and it
was presented to him by the superintendent
of the track.

DARING ATTEMPTED BURGLARY


Monday night about IL o'clock Isaac
Roberts, residing in Brunswick, N. y,
four miles east of Troy, was awakened by
hearing noise as Of some one attempting
to enter his house. In a few minutes lie
become conscious that some one was in his
room. Mr. Roberts sprang out of bed i'm
mediately, and succeeded in erasping the
robber by the arm. He made mn cutlery,
and told Roberts to let him go. Another
voice outside called out, "Shoot the old
-" Roberts fearing danger, released
his hold. The robbcr instantly sprang
through the window, and escaped in a
wagon which they had outside the yard on
the road. just before going, one of the
robbers snapped 4 pistol n Mr. Roberts,
but fortunately it did not explode. They
then proceeded TO the residence of
George Col1hammer, short distance from
Mr.. Robcrts's farm, broke open the
wagon house, and stole two buffalo
robes, a blanket and whip. The thieves
were not pursued, aud no clue was obtain

they went to the barn Of W. j. Meade, on
Union street, and took out his horse and
wagon, with which tits supposed they went

lions above mentioned. The horse was re-

4 FRAUD.

A common impression prevails among
the people that a person having committed
an assault against another, can Immediate
~ go before justice of the peace-plead
guilty, and be assessed in nominal fine,
pay it, and no further prosecution can be
commenced for the offence. Judge Ross of
the supreme court has exploded this notion,
in the decision of case in the Caledonia
county court. One Degrene waylaid
neighbor on the road, and gave him a Sc
we're pounding. The same night the assal-
ant went to one or two justices of the
peace to get them to fine him. but they de-
clned. The next morning he procured a
grand jurors complaint, and was fined with
costs. He was indicted for the assault, in
the county court, ana. on trial, the re-
spondents counsel filed plea in bar,
alledging former conviction. The state
replied that the former conviction was a
fraud-and so the court held, and again
fined the responded $50 and costs. We
are glad to know that this decision has
cNSh maui i'i NV VI thS pun
lie, as very many intelligent people have
entertained erroneous views npon the sub
ject, that has led them often times to giyebaG
advice, which frequently results in mali
cious assaults, under the impression that
they had only to make a complaint of
themselves, be fined, and avoid further
prosecution. This decision is in the inter-
ests of good order, and for the welfare Of
the community Many other false views
of the easy methods of avoiding the penal
ties of the law, would be banished were
these points more frequently discussed in
the public charges of ourjudges to jurors.

Practical Civii Service Reform,

Secretary Bristow is instituting IA system
in the Treasury Department which will
make it impossible for partisan rogues,
however inilnentialy supported, to here
after appropriate the peoples money under
pretence OF serving the public. His plan
of selecting the best men of experience,
proved capacity and integrity, for the
vacancies existing in the treasury branch of
the government service, commends itself
to the general approval. lie makes merit
the passport to preferment. His advance
ment of faithful and competent officials is
in the very spirit of civil service improve
ment, and eXcmplihes the idea in the most
effective manner All the indications thus
far point to the fact that the American
people have secretary of the treasury
among them who cannot be duped by cor
rupt politicians and proposes to administer
public affairs under his jurisdiction with n
single eye to the common welfare.

THE DAY.

To-day, the American people celebrate
the ninety-eighth anniversary of the nations
existence in such form as best suits their
tastes. Some in the staid celebration of
the olden time, with narration of the
events of our history-others in the assem-
bling together as community or neghbOr-
hood-with such exercises as may be best
suited to the purpose of their particular
gatherings give vent to their love of
the humorous for the entertainment of the
crowd who may assemble from the sur
rounding country-more especially that
the town may be full for the benefit Of the
traders in nick-knacks. With the latter
mode of celebration we have no sympathy,
believing it 10 be unworthy of an inteli-
gent people and the Importance OF the &C.
casion. 1t, however, is Of little moment
how it is observed, for it gives expression
to the patriotism and passes an observance
OF the day.
The day is one which makes 1t eminently
appropriate to review the progress of the
i'N'fAis uliAl W AlSNbNfi Tut NIduNINiiNl II
has reached in comparison with other
nations. Nearly century has elapsed since
the United States existed only in the mag
ination and hopes of the people. None at
that period supposed that determined resist
ancc to taxation without representation
would end in the formation Of republic,
few dreamed Of the brilliant results that
have followed but the tritc maxim, SIRE
sistance to iyrants is obedience to God, +;
sank in the hearts of the fathers, aud they
went forth conquering and to conquer.
The growth of the republic, which the
fathers founded, has been that of a giant,
until its nationality is now fully estab-
lished. 1t has gone forward with mighty
strides, betting the country from Maine to
the golden shores of the Pacific. The pi-
oneers have visited every section of this
broad and fruitful land, the eternal SHOWS
of the rocky mountains proving no barrier
to the Fastening footsteps of the American.
The thirteen colonies have become thirty
eight states, with still more knocking at
the door for admission. From a popula-
ton of three millions it spread like magic
to forty millions. In the arts and sciences
she has even exceled her physical growth
With her steamships, railways and tele-
graphs unequaled- with her arteries OF
inland commerce radiating to every point
with sinews of iron stretching from hel
commercial center to her extreme limits
freighted with the commodities of every
natlon-with nerves .of steel, electrically
conveying messages from one nation to
another with the flash of the lightning
with her ships blowing the waves of tho

from Batchellerville, Saratoga county,
where young man named Booth the
horse thief, was arrested at his fathers
house. 1t is thought that there is a gang
of horse thieves in the mountain region
where Booth lives, numbering twenty or
thirty, of which gang Booth is supposed
to be one. 1t is suspected that as fast as
the stolen horses come in they are taken
to surrounding towns and traded for others.

a SINGULAR PREMoNITIoN. - On the
Thursday morning previous to his decease,
George E. Jennings of Quechee, took his

Mysterious Death,

Mr. X. O. Goss, of Waterford, Caledo-
mia county, was shingling on his barn on
Wednesday, with other workmen. They
were up one or two stagings from the
caves, when some person came along the
road and conversation was being carried
on between the wolkmon and the person in
the road. Soon Mr., Goss was missed from
the roof, and upon looking about he was
found lying on the first staging below where
he had been at work. He breathed but a
few times after being found. II is sup
posed he fell down one staging, breaking
his neck. a singular part of the affair is
that none present heard him fall, nor was
there any noise to attract their attention
Some think he may have sunk down quietly
and died of heart disease.

We are'plcascd to learn that Mount An
thony is to have another observatory, which
Will be the third one built, the other two
having been blown down. 1t is TO be about
100 feet in height, which is not quite so
high as the others were, but is to be con-
sIructed of much stronger material, so that
taking everything into consideration we
feel confident that it Will stand the storms.
Work has already been commenced and it
is expected to he finished by the frs. of
August.
This mount being at an elevation Of 1850
feet above the sea, and ZOO feet above the
railroad depot in our village, and standing
apart from any high elevation in the imme-
date ncighborhood affords an unobstruct-
ed view for many miles in every direction.
Though not SO high as some peaks within a
few miles, the peculiar situation, together
with its case of ascent, renders it more
available for observation than the others ;
and we would say for the benefit of pleasure
seekers that look from it will repay them
for trip to our lovely town.
