LAsT DAY OF TIE TRAMP.
Littlewood and Herty Making Grand
Race for First Place.

Race for First Place.
NEW NuRK, Dec Yesterday was pre-
eminently Littlewood day in Madison
Square Garder In spite Of all Dan Herty's
plucky efforts the stocky Englishman forged
to the front and constantly widened the gap
which separated them. At o'clock no
was only one mile and quarter behind
Albert's record for tho time How ne kept
up his rapid gait was a mystery 10 every
one. He was looking more iaded than any
other man on the track except Moore, yet
his stomach n,tained everything his trainers
handed him 70 eat, and his feet never Tagged.
His appetite, however was not quite equal
70 what II was ON Thursday, when he ate
thirteen mutton chops. two broiled chickens
and two lOaves Of bread without entirely
satisfying his hunger.
Herty, who has never quite recovered from
an injury received years ago, is now physi-
cally incapacitated from improving on the
gait which he has used since Thursday. He
was hardly able to 20 faster than a walk last
night, although his whole appearance sug-
gested great reserve power We're it not for
the trouble alluded 10 he would be by far
the best man in the lot. Everything con
sidered, he is a marvel OF endurance and
pluck
Moores mortgage on third place is not ex-
actly an ironclad one. Cartwright was only
ten miles behind him, and rolling along with
an eas-, and grace which promised excellent
results Tho Phiadelphian looked fresher
on Thursday, but he has evidently resigned
all claims TO first money

BIRMINGHAM, Conn, Dec 1.-The fly
wheel, twelve feet in diameter, of the engine
at the electrical road plant in Derby flew in
pieces. Almost onc-quarter Of the roof oi
the building was blown off. One piece of the
wheel, weighing 200 pounds, was found 100
feet away, and several others passed through
the walls Of the building. Engineer Whitney
had narrow escape, being almost in the
line Of the flying iron. The accident was
probably due to the fact that the wheel has
been run at high spsed lately, as it failed
to furnish current enough for the road while
running at the normal rate The loss 70 the
building is estimated at 81 600 The road
will be disabled for about a week, the horse
car line using it IN the meantime.

HANCOCK, Mich, Dec. The Calumet

or the two or three hundred men on duty at
the time all but eight escaped unharmed
As soon as the fire was discovered the men
began TO work their way out, and when they
reached the fire itself, made an attempt 10
turn on the water, but tine pipes had been
disconnected and no water was TO be had
The signal wire had also been cut, and there
was nothing left but TO fight for life.
Under the guidance of cool headed leaders
the men worked their way around the burn
ing tunnel 10 other connections with the main
engine shaft and thence 10 the surface
While the scenes below were being enacted
the cry above that the mine was on fire had
reached the homes of the miners, and the
wives. children and friends of the men below
soon crowded around the shafts, wild with
grief and anxiety
As each man came up out Of the death
trap. he was seized by weeping wife and chill
dren or anxious friends, and cries of grief
were changed to shouts of rejoicing.
The men kept coming up until it was
known that ali hut eight had been rescued.

avenue of escape is ,ut off They were

At the spot where the fire originated no one

pipes and the breaking Of the signal wire
leaves no room TO doubt thnt the fire was th,

the mine took fire under circumstances which
pointed strongly to incendiarism
1t is hinted than an interested syndicate il

serious Enects or a shut Down

PITTsBURG, Dec. An OF the coal mines
along the Monongahela river have closed
DOM indefinitely. The operators claim that
they have been losing money on account Of
over supply, and are unable to keep their
men at work. over 800 miners are thrown
out Of employment They are i'll prepared
for shut down at this season, and much
suffering Will no doubt result. The closing
of the mines also causes a large number OF
boat builders, cauikers and river men to be
idle. II is estimated that over 50.OOO.O0g
bushels OF coal are now tied up at points
down the Ohio river Tor which there is no
market except at prices which are loss tc

New YORK, Dec. 1.-The residents of Ridge

synagogue, which is just above Delaney
street, were thrown into a fever Of excite
ment late yesterday afternoon by a terrific
noise like clap Of thunder 1t seemed to

Scarcely had the noise subsidized when from
the bath house, which is just beneath the
place of worship, there suddenly appeared
upon the street dozen men and women in a
semi-nude and terribly frightened condition,
yelling and screaming and hiding behind
each other to screen their nakedncss.
II did not take them long to find a place Of
refuge, but their wild screams and the very
unusual spectacle they presented soon caused
an immense crowd to gather in the street.
Two Of the men had blood streaming from
wounds in different portions Of the body
Their wounds were not dangerous, and they
