The SWiftest Ocean Voyage.
NEW YORK, May S.-The steamship City
of Paris of the Inman line, which arrived
at Sandy Hook at 11:l5 to-day, has broken
all records from Queenstown. Her cor
rected time is five days, twenty y-three hours
and seven minutes. This beats the record
which was made by the Etruria of. six
days, one hour and fifty-nine minutes. 1t
is the first voyage across the Atlantic
in less than six days, and there were many
men in maritime circles who prophesied
the trip would never be made in less than
that time. On the first day out from Liv-
erpool the City of Paris covered 445 miles,
the next day she progressed 494 miles
further on her journey. Then on the
third day she still further increased her M
stint and went sos miles. The fourth day
was the best of all and the CITY Of Paris
MADE 511 miles. On the succeeding tay
she made 5M miles, and on the last frac-
tiOD Of the day she went S92 miles. The
City of Paris not only broke the record for
the entire voyage but also made the quick-
est days run, having accomplished 5l1
miles in one day. The longest run pre-
viOusly made in 9 single day was 506 miles
by the UmbTia of the Cunard line. The
City of Paris was commanded by Captain
Frederick Watkins and brought large
number OF saloon passengers, among
whom was David Dudley Field who
though 86, refused to 70 slow. The whole
distance run by the City OF Paris was
1855 miles.

CHICAGO, May There is nothing new
OF startling in the DR.. Cronin mystery to-.
day. The doctor is simply still unaccount-
ed for. Mr.. and Mrs. Conkling, with
whom the doctor lived, ,-are still very much
disturbed about the affair. A reporter

yesterday. When he entered the room
Mrs. Conkling was pacing up and down
the room talking incoherently. At last
she stopped in front of the reporter and
said rather firmly and with compressed
lips: "We know that DR.. Cronin was mur-

about the inside workings of the plots of
the gang against the doctors life, you would
be bewildered. We are on the track of the
villain and have hired detectives to hunt
up the clues. am in possession of. There

short at this point by an admOnitiOn from

already been said, and all efforts to secure

Omen For Traffic.

RED WING, Mimi, May 1.-THE great
undertaking which was at first originated
by few energetic gentlemen of this city
and which has been subject to so much
comment for the past two or three years,
has at last been partly accomplished. and
the hopeful prospects which have long
been lowering over this prosperous section
Of the state are brighter than ever. That
part Of the Duluth, Bed Wing & Southern
railroad which connects this city with
ZumbrOta, is now completed and open for
traffic. The whole line Of this road will,
when ready, extend from Duluth or some
other point on Lake Superior, pass
through St Croix Falls, Red Wing, Zum-
brota, Rochester, 0watonna, and Geneva
TO Albert Lea, with proposed continue
ti0ns nOrthvVard through rich mining
district to the northern boundaries of Min
nes0ta, and southwark through the great
agricultural region of Minnesota and iowa,
and east to the coal fields Of the latter state,
and terminating at or near Tama or Des
MOines. The distance between the
northern and southern termini of the road
will be about 400 miles. It will serve to les
sen the cost Of transpo portation Of coal. Grain
and freight rates In general will be de-
creased. Manufacturing in this section
will be greatly encouraged.

A Moving Contest,

WASHINGTON, May 7.-As Secretary
Rusk sat at his desk yesterday afternoon
his gaze fell upon the workmen engaged
in moving the fiIe crop of grass on the
grounds of the agricultural department.
Something in their movements did not sat
isfy his eye, and turning to Chief Clerk
lockwood he said: "1'd like to go out there
and give those fellows points, "You'd
better turn that over to me" responded
Maj. lockwood, Il can NOW all around
you." "Not much" replied the secretary,
as the boys say, 'syou aint built that way.o
This morning as they rode up the avenue
to the department building, the sight Of
the mowers alongside brought to mind yes
terday's banter, and without word the
secretary and chief clerk leaped from the
carriage to the lawn and grabbing each a
scythe from the astOunded labOrers. be-
gan to swing them in the most approved
style. The tall form of the secretary
moved rapidly along the wide sWath
amidst the plaudits Of the admiring crowd
attracted by the unusual spectacle, while
Mai. lockwood more mOdestly held his
own in the contest, but he didn't make
good his boast Of moving all around the
secretary. In fact, the latter demonstrate
ed his staying qualities by going to the
department. after finishing his stint and
cutting off few heads with the official
guillOtine, while the major failed to show
up at his desk at all during the day Twas
explained that he had gone to Mt. Vernon.

A Shower of Frogs.

ST. PAUL, May IA Pioneer Press
jamestown special says: About 6 O'Clock
last night peculiar circumstance was
noticed bya number of people. A small
black cloud hanging rather low, was
noticed to move rather queerly, when
suddenly the cloud was lost sight of and
a precipitation of frogs was seen. There
were several hundred of them and they
could be seen hopping up in the street two
blocks away. A number Of dogs were
hoppers. tits stated that's funnel shaped
cloud indicating a cyclone was seen
shortly before and the theory is that the
frogs were swept up from some slough in
this whlrlwind and carried in the air until
it spent itself, which happened over the
center OF the principal business streets.

gram. The elevator went down with
awful velocity. When the elevator door
was opened the three men were found w.
ing in the bottom Of the car insensible

may prove fatal, as all suffered a severe
spinal shock, the seriousness of which is
