Edgas and Gay.

Throughout the entire day yester day the
interest and excitement in the great walking
match was constantly on the increase.
Crowds of spectators were attracted by the
closeness of the contest, and the excellent mu.
sic which was continually kept on hand. The
pedestrians went on the track early yesterday
morning, about 8 o'clock, and steady G all
was keptup, with only short intermi,sions,
till our hour for going 10 press. At Z O'Clock
g. m. the score stood: Edgss, 1913 miles. l6
laps; Coy, 160 miles, 10 laps. At 10 q. m.
the score was Edgss, 176 miles laps and
Gay 173 miles laps. At 2:30 p. m. Edgss
was l9l miles 6 laps and Gay 1SS miles ii
laps. They went of at 4:53 p. m. snI on
again st D. m. At that time the score was
Edgss 20l miles and Cav 1873 miles 8 laps. AT
10:15 .. m. Eigss was 2l4 miles 6 laps and
Gay oil miles IL laps. On going 10 the
press the score wss as follows: E1gss, 2l5
miles Zap and Gay 2l2 miles z laps As
on the previous day msny ladies were present
and the probabilities are inst each
recurring day will bring an increased attend
snce. Both are still comparatively fresh, and
the betting continues about even. Gsy,
though somewhat behind, still has the warm
est support and confidence of bis hackers,
while E1gss shows perhaps less nervousness
and seems 70 be the more populsr-Oving

Sunday night as the east bound passenger

the spot a form threw itself
on the track just about the
time the train stopped, and
on examination it was found to be woman
She was terribly used up. The large heavy
wheels of the engine had passed over her
right foot at the ankle joint and crushed it
into jelly, leaving the almost severed limb
hanging by nerve shreds of flesh. On her
forehead was an ugly cash caused probably
BY the cowcatcher striking her, which
knocked her body from the track,
| leaving only her foot to
be caught. She sustained other bruises and

not been of late in her right mind, and he
has been watching her for fear she would
commit some rash act. On that day her
father and mother had visited her. 1t being
Easter Sunday there was a gre deal of
visiting among the Catholics, ana she and
her folks being of that faith, had received
company. Her husband, Mr.. Santerre, says
that she is pregnant now and that
when she is in that condition her mind be-
comes disordered. The Texas & Pacific
road have agreed to pay the expenses neces-
ssry for medical attention and nursing.
