About Horses.
There are now fifty horses last

There are now fifty horses East
that trot mile in % or under.
Wilkes Spirit says: ''We are
glad to notice that many of our
Western fairs are Offering hand
8 Ome premiums for the fastest
walking horses. There is no dis
gui,ing the fact that a good
walk is the most useful gait that a
general-purpose horse can possess
and if one half the attention were
paid to cultiYating this gait, and
breeding with a view to its trans
mission, that is now given to that
of training and breeding trOtters,
horses that could walk five miles an
hour would as soon be as abundant
as 2 80 trotters now are.
Mr.. Erastus Corning, of Albany
n. Y, is said TO own the most aged
piece of horsefiesh in this country.
He has a mare on his place Al years
old, and she has been on his farm
ever since she was FLY in 1926.
Corning is the possessor of several
first class animals, Palmer and Hem
ry Clay being his best horses. He
has also a large number of very
choice Alderney cows and calves,
and it is acknowledged he owns an
Attorney bull second to none in
America.
At Kingston, n. Y. while Effie
Dean was being exercised by Alden
Goldsmith, in company with sever
al trotters, one of Ellie reins broke,
and her driver toppled backwards,
but recovering himself, did not fall
out of the suIky. The mare broke
into q wild run. While she was gO-
ing at this furious rate, Goldsmith
crawcIed over her back until, by
reaching forward, he could get hold
Of the snaffle Of the bit, and then
laying upon her neck, he brought
her up with q sudden pull that car
ried her almost perpendicular in the
air. He was heartily applauded by
all who Witnessed the daring deed

THE TRAGEDY

"You id scoundrelI" he ex-
claimed. "You set my daug hler up
to leave her homeI"
He grasped Hurst by the throat,
but the young man threw him OF
the door. Russell seized a knife
from the table, and getting between
Hurst and the door, attempted TO
stab the young man. Hurst receiv-
ed the thrust in his arm, and seeing
that the old man was bent on muir
der, drew a revolver and warned
him to stand back. Russell did not
heed the warning, and continued to
make deadly lunges with knife.
Hurst received many of these in his
arm aud shoulder.
Hursfs sister escaped from the
room during the melee, and the
young men present seemed to be
paralyzed with terror. at last
Hurst pushed his assailand back
from him and leveled the pistol al
him. His wife this instant sprane
between the men just as her hus-
bands pistol was, discharged The
ball entered her brain, and che fell
to the floor and expired without q
word. The report of the pistol
brought q number of persons into
the room. Hurst had fallen on his
knees beside his wife's body, and
after severaltimes frantically appeal
ing to her by name to look mp aud
speak 10 him, he rose TO his feet,
and before hand could be extend
ed to prevent him, shot himself
through the head, and fell dead by
