Fastest Time on Record.

In the races at Lexington, Ken
tucky, on the 13th May, hodes'
Seareher made the fastest mile
heat OH record. Only one heat
was run, as Seareher distan ced the
other two horses. At the start he
got off in front, and kept the lead
throughout, gradually drawing oil
from the others, and coming home
in 1:41a. This is the best time
ever made. Gray Planet last vcal
made the next best at Saratoga
running against time in l.42h and
Alarm had previously made IT u
1.42a.

The Order Of the Cincinnati.

The Society Of Cincinnati was
founded by the officers Of the Rev.
olutionary army in 1888. It's .ob-
iects were to perpctuate the feei--
iDgs of patriotism, friendship and
fraternity produced by the tolls
and dangers they had experienced
IN common, and TO relieve the
wanks ofthe families of those who
had fallen in the war. General
Knox was one of its founders.
The pcrpctuation Of the member
ship Of the society was limited to
the eldest sons Of the original
members; but the measure being
unpopular, and denounced as a
ycstige of aristocratic usage, y
was abandoned at meeting held
in philadelphia in the year 1874.
In 1857 General Washington was
elected President of the society
and SO continued until his death.
Branches of the order were organ-
lied in every State, and some OF
these are still in active operation.
! Hamilton Fish was elected Pfcsi-
dent in 1872. The badge of the
sooietyis d bald eagle suspended
| by u dark blue ribbon with white
] borders--a symbol of the Union Of
the United States with France.
| In recognition of this Union q
number of French off GERS were
! elected to membership.

| ETY. of the Cincinnati on the 4th o
lJily, 1904, one week before tht
| lalnentable duel which closed III.
career Of Hamilton and blighteS
the life of Burr. that these twI
men met for the last time III coni
pany. More than three weeks be
| fore this time all the details of tn
combat had been arranged, an'
the dreadful secret was in posses
sion Of several persons, who's
compliance with the code of homo
of that day forbade them tn
whisper which would have divul
ged 1t, and saved two familie
from wretchcdness. Hamilto
was then President OF the SOC
i city, and presided over the meet
ing with q vivacity which COZ
trasted with the moody pre-ooel
patton of Burr.

An Express Robber Killed.
a BRAVE MESSENGER.

On last Thursday night, as the
train WIS rushing on its way to
Chicago, and when between Lima
anu Forrest station, on the Pitts
burg, Ft Wayne and Chicago road.
messenger George ii. Triee, who
is well known in Memphis, was
suddenly confronted in his car by
4 masked man, who presented a
pistol at his head and demanded
his surrender. AT the time Trice
was seated in his car, busily enga-
ged checking his way-bills. On
hearing the strange noise, and see-
ing the masked human form before
him, he Instantly drew his arm
across his face, daeked lis head,
sprang under the table, and made
for his pistol, which was lying on
his packing-trunk, o short distance
Of. While making these move
ments the masked robber fred
twice, shooting the messenger
through the shoulder and through
the right cheek. Before he had
time to fire again, Trice had seeu-
ed his pistol and fired, hitting his
antagonist just over the right eye,
and he fell like a dead beef to the
floor. And so ended this short
but desperate encounter. The
robber was masked with black
cambria from his waist mp to thu
top OF his head, his eyes and moutl
only being exposed. Gu remov
ing the mask he was found to b'
an ex-Conductor OF the road, ma
! med Brinkley. The way he effect
ed an entrance into the car was b.
getting on the front platform o
the car next TO the engine, an'
then cutting out one of the panels
| Few mon, even in these times
! would undertake the risk and dan
ger that Brinkley did in thus en-
tering an express car, and few
men, confronted as Trice was
would have displayed his courag
and accomplished what he did
That the great corporation b
which he is employed fully apprs
ciated the bravery displayed b
him in protecting its property, !
evidenced by the fact that a fe'
days ago, at meeting OF tn
board Of directors HI Cincinnati
? il was ordered that thousan
dollars in gold be presented
him. Messenger George II. Trio
has been for many years, uut
very recently, employed on til

Catching Cannon Balls ea the Fly.

Paris cey-espendeAes Of New Tork Times |
A very singular exhibition was
given yesterday at the Jardin Mo-
bile. There has been performing
here 1t the Folies Bergeres 1 man
named Holtura, an American, who
has cannon fred at him and cat
ches the ball in his hands. This
prodigious feat was witnessed night
ly, and although the actors present
avowed that there was no trick,
Pierre Veron, of the Monde Indus
ire, would not believe it. He said
that the cannon ball must be
thrown to Holtum from the stage.
The latter made bet Of 5000 francs
that he would perform the feat un-
der conditions which left no room
to doubt, and when the bet was
taken, Veron designated Mahille
as the place for the trial. All the
journalists of Paris were invited,
and they found Holtum there be-
fore his cannon. 1t was examined
with minute care, and the heavy
ball was passed from hand 10 hand
~ am no longer in my own house, =
said Hoitlm "yuu are master
here, and you must watch over all
the arrangements Haing care
fully aimed and lashed his cannon,
it was charged and Holtum took
his place against a plank target
some ten yards away. This was t
show that the ball was solid, anC
the force OF the powder sufficient
to send il through the plank. Hol
tum got the ain Of his gun, ant
then placed his bead in Il certain
position against the plank, giving
The command to fire. Tho ball jus
graz zed the hair and broke through
The plank, rolling some twenty
yards further on. The same bal
was picked up BY the journalists
who again charged the cannon ant
rammed home the ball, and thl
| time Holtum caught the ball II
! his hands as neatly as he doe
nightly upon the stage. He VOL
his bot, and no one seemed disposed
to accept his offer Of 5000 francs t.
any one who would perform th'
same astounding feat. The physi
cal force required must be enor
nous. but he tosses up cannon ball
aa If they were so many oranges
The only precautions taken ar
very simple; he wears very thicl
leather gloves and covers his bfeas
with many thicknesses Of thin pa
pef to form q sort Of cnifass. Thi
looks to me like a very dangcrou
feat, and particularly the first pan
Of it, where Holtu II places his heat
against the target half an inch be
low where the ball will prQbabl
strike. II the powder should hal
pen to be defective, some day ther
might be an accident. II is lils
the foolhardy trick Of putting one
head into a lions mouth. One da,
/ fancy that ball will snap his hea
very neatly of.

MELTED DowN.-The Silver Belt has had bad Iuck with its fire brick. Hutchson went to the trouble and expense of going to Hardyvlle and hauling imported brick which everybody sup posed would stand any blast that could be gotten up, but it gave way like wax before the fame and doomed the boys to another disappointment Their next hold is 10 wait for the brick ordered three or four weeks ago from San Francisco, when they propose to try again. There surely must be fire material somewhere that will stand sIl the blast that one-horse blower eau get up. They ran out l33 pounds of bullion this heat be- fore the brick gave way. This bullion with some of the best ore will be shipped to San Francisco and its value ascertained while they are waiting for brick.

 The examination was continued until Monday. Both parties are out on bail.
