2:2O clip, trotting the full mile from. that
point to that point again in 2:191s; and
passed the half, on the second round, in
1882, trotting the mile measured from that
post in 2:20. The speed for the first three
quarters of the distance, maintained to
the finish, would have resulted in the heat
being trotted little better than 4:42, and
as Steve Maxwell logged in 4:481a, it is
probable that only merciful considera-
lions prevented him from being driven out
in 4:45, or thereabouts.
sit will be noticed that this great per-
Torrance of Steve Maxwell was very un-
even in the rate of speed for different
portions of the heat; one mile being trot-
ted at a pace that would have finished the
heat in 4:39, and aquarter of mile at a
rate that would have finished the heat, were
it possible to have kept it up, in 4:2S. In
this respect his feat strongly contrasts
with that of last Saturday, of which we
now inform or readers. Its hero was the
brown stallion Monroe Chief, by Jim
Monroe, dam by Bay Chief. In the
early part of the week his grand finishes,
in his severe race with Rosa Wilkes, had
attracted mach attention, and resulted in
his merits as two-miler being canvassed
among the horsemen of Lexington, KY,
where he was, and a wager was made that
he could not beat the 4:481 of Steve Max
well, the Kentucky Horse Breeders asso
citation offering silver cup, in addition,
should the record be eclipsed, The day for
the trial, Saturday, Oct. 81, was not alto
gether favorable, the track being heavy from
recent rains, but Budd Doble brought
out his stallion in grand condition. The
timers in the stand we're DR.. L.. Herr, Col.
R. S. Strader, and Mr.. B. J.. Treacy. Doble
set rating pace for his horse, going to the
quarter in 37Is., the half in 1:13, the
three-quarters in 1:481a, and trotting the
first mile in 2:23. Here he was two
seconds behind Steve Maxwell's time at
the same point, but the sequel showed that
Doble was regulating his horse to a speed
that he could sustain throughout the
heat. He went to the fifth quarter in 1858,
two seconds behind Maxwell, to the half on
the second round, in 1888, only one second
behind Maxwell, and finished, full of trot,
in 4:46, beating all previous records for
two miles in harness, by two and half
seconds. While Maxwell trotted the first
mile in 2:21, he dropped back in the
second to 2:271a5, but Monroe Chief troted
both miles in precisely the same time.
The performance is one in which the judi
cious driver fairly shares the honors with
the game and speedy horse.

tween the Jail and the morgue and across
the street into DR.. Stoner's yard on Cedar
street. Unfortunately for Mr.. Overton,
the doctor has dog and the dog made a
little mistake. Instead of attacking the
prisoner he sailed into the superintendent
of the water works and seized him by the
leg of his pants. The consequence was
that while Mr.. Overton was making an
effort to get clear of the dog Murphy was
making the liveliest kind of efforts to get
clear of Overton. He ran down to Fourth

ing made by Commodore Davidson for
his Opera house, and through the
building occupied by A. Melgren
engraver, to Third street. He then passed
down Third to Cedar, up which street he
ran as fast as he could and disappeared.
At the time of the escape of Murphy,
Sheriff Richter was not in st. Paul. After
Sullivan was captured in the morning the
sheriff went out to White Bear, where he
remained the balance of the day, and
knew nothing about the second escape till
at night when he got back. It will not dc
to attempt to attribute this escape to the
insecurity of the Jail. The trouble is
there is no discipline and no vigilance
whatever maintained in the building any
where. The whole business in the Jail is
run in a loose and, careless manner.
and with one OF two exceptions, utterly
incompetent subordinates only are en-
ployed. In making these statements moth
ing more il done than to reiterate the
sentiments of some of the best lawyers in
st. Paul, and Republicans at that.

eeesoNAI AND GENERAL

The broken span of the Wabash railway
bridge at St. Charles under repair since the
disaster, has reached a point that il is
deemed sale for passenger trains 10 pass over
by the latter part of the week.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
Just introduced on its passenger trains an
extra line attached to the air-brake machinery
and extending throughout the train, so that
the brakes can be instantly applied when
necessary, and from any part OF the train,
by the conductor or any OF the crew, without
losing time for the purpose Of signaling the
engineer.
When completed, the railroad bridge at
Bismarck. over the Missouri river, will be
one of the finest structures in the United
States. The bridge will be mile and half
long, and requires two years more Tor its
completion. The stone for the caissons were
brought from Sank Rapids, more than 800
miles eastward in Missouri. These caissons
are sunk 40 or 80 feet down in the quick
sands of the river in order TO form firm
foundation. Is is impossible to find terra
ii1.l1 in the bed OF the Missouri, the Platte,
and many other streams. When a section of
the suspension bridge over the river at
Omaha was blown into the river it quickly
disappeared. A few hours later when work
men, with necessary machinery, endeavored
u grapple the section it entirely disappeared
beneath the quicksands, and they were una
BITE to discover it.
The policy OF the managers of the New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railway in en-
couraging its employees to gain knowledge
Of the principles as well as practice of rail-
reading, might be followed with profit by
other corporations. They believe that an EN-
ploye who thoroughly understands his bust
ness, whatever that business may be, is more
valuable than one who does not. The forma-
fion Of societies for the discussion of special
subjects is always encouraged. All OF the
very best periodicals treating on the various
branches of railroad work are subscribed for
and distributed among the men. Thirty
copies OF the RoilCay Age are taken and dis
tributed in this manner. The Seieahfc Amer
icqa and other works on similar subjects are
also subscribed for. Mr.. Charles Latimer,
the chief engineer of the road, is known
a scientist Of much study, and is especially
Interested in the metric system. The rule
applies to all departments that whatever is
needed for the information of the officers and
men is promptly and cheerfully furnished.
As a result, no more intelligent or gentle
manly body Of men can be found anywhere
than those who compose the New York
Pennsylvania and Ohio Railway Company.
