tween q dozen fair wheelwomen at Madison
Square Garden to make the contest exceed

The girls, perched on wheels larger than

are riding at a speed of twelve to sixteen

At first the spectators viewed the contest
with apprehensive eyes. A misstep on q

a failure of any part of q machine must result
in disaster.

PoTTsvILLE, Feb. ll.-At the Coroner's in
quest on Thomas Holm, who was killed a
few days ago at Hammond Colliery. a rare
bit Of bravery was disclosed.
Patrick Dougherty. Hobin's loader, was at
work at the gangway when Holm went up
into the breast or chamber to fire a shot. The
hole where the charge was placed was at the
top of an eighteen-foot plank elevated at an
angle of 10 degrees.
Hpbin had placed in the stick of dualin,
tamped the hole aud lighted the fuse. when in
coming down he started u grent mass of coal
and was caught and crushed by AN immense
boulder against the wall Of the breast.
Dougherty heard his scream, md. looking
up into the dark chamber. saw the suffering
fuse. Not knowing what had befallen his
comrade, but knowing if the shot went of
Hobin would surely be killed, at the great
peril of his own life he climbed the steep
plank and pulled out the fuse within On inch
of the powder. He found Holm later on
with the life crushed out of him.
Mine Inspector Stein says that in all his
experience he never saw II Drawer act nor
more presence of mind, and publicly at
the inquest commended young Dougherty.

The Crew of the Steamer Esme Meet with
n Thrilling Experience.

ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING WORLD
HALIFAX, N. s.. Feb. 12.-Particulars of
the wreck Of the steamer Esme, from New
castle for Annapolis. on Half Moon Rocks of
Shelburne County, have just been received.
Last Tuesday night the weather was very
bad, with a heavy sea and thick, rainy
mist.
The steamers position was thought to be
several miles of Cape Sable.
At 4 O'Clock on Wednesday morning. while
there was q careful lookout, breakers were
reported under the lee bow.
@The engines were reversed, but the next
moment the ship struck with a heavy shock
and remained fast. The water began to rush
in. and she hee!ed of shore.
The breakers swept her fore and aft, carry
ing away the port boats and everything NOV
able from the decks. The crew barely
managed to hold on, and ii was evident that
the steamed would soon go to pieces.
The crew acted bravely, although the fire.
men and others were improperly clothed and
suffered intensely from cold.
At daylight, when the shore could be seen
not far to leeward, the crew left In the star
board boat. They were met by fishermen In
boats and guided through the breakers to the
land.
The Esme had q crew Of twenty lone men,
one of whom was disabled by sickness.
They lost everything they had on board.
The hull Of the steamer is broken into three
pieCea.

ESPECIAL TO THE VIEWING WORLD.

ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING WORLD
AUGUSTA, Me-, Feb. II. 1t is learned here
with a good degree of authority that Chief
Justice Peters will deny the motion of Louis
A. Barker. esq.,, for a new trial in the Stain
case.
1t is stated that the law which prevailed
when murderers were being allowed an
appeal to the full Bench for a rev trial will
be held as annulled since hanging was abol-
ished.
But Mr.. Barker, as is well known, at this
session of the Legislature secured in cases Of
persons convicted of murder an appeal to
the Law Court. thus allowing three justices
to give a new trial the same as when capital
punishment was the law.
Under this Mr.. Barker will proceed to move
for q new trial bsgore the full bench, and his
evidence will be introduced III July, and in
addition TO the old mass of evidence he thinks
he has obtained much that is new and yalu-
able.
For instance, no longer ago than yesterday
he received q letter from a Medheld man who
was never heard from before and who says
that he saw Stain in that town upon the day
that Barron was killed.
Mr.. Barker will shortly take q trip to Mas
sachusetts and to Medfeld to look over the
grounds II gather in new facts for presen-
tation. .
This case, already one of the most famous
ON record, bids fair to Ietain the attention OF
the public for many months to come.

THE TRENTON HOMICIDE,
AUSTIN WYATT ARRAIGNED FOR THE
MURDER OF CAyANAUGH.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 12.-The trial Of
Austin Wyatt for the murder Of James E.
Cavanaugh was begun here yesterday before
Chief-Justice Beasley.
Much public interest has been manifested
in the case and preparations were made by
Warden Muirhead to prevent q rush to the
courtroom.
The place was packed early and the court
yard was crowded with persons who had been
denied admission.
The interest in the trial il due to the pecu-
liar circumstance of the killing. Both the
victim and his slayer were we'll known and
popular IN Trenton.
The trouble between them arose over the
disputed ownership of a worthless old boat.
Over the question a quarrel arose and
during the melee Wyatt drew q knife. Cav
nnaugh grabbed him by the throat and choked
hun until he was conquered and the knife
fell from his fingers.
Both men were employed in the Trenton
China Works.
The principal witness for the people is Ed
ward j. Whitehead. He was on the stand
yesterday aud repeated, substantially, the
testimony he gave at the coroner's jury.
In effect it was as follows:
~ noticed Cavanaugh coming down the
steps at the pottery Nov. IL. Wyatt had been
in about Ave minutes. Cavanaugh spoke to
him and asked him how he felt.
Wyatt replied, All right
MY back was turned for a moment. when
I heard q pistol shot. Turning, l saw Cava-
naugh falling against the post. He had his
head ducked as though trying to shield him
self from another shot.
II turned to Wyatt and begged him not to
shoot again. Wyatt then walked to the end
of the building and the shop was filled in q
moment with excited girls and workmen.'
The defense will endeavor to show that
Cavanaugh's death, which did not take place
until a day after the shooting, was due to the
surgeons incompetency.
They will produce witnesses to show that
Wyatt believed he was acting in self-detense,
rs Cavnnaugh had a shovel in his hand when
he addressed Wyatt.
They hope to prove by this at least that
there was no premeditation on Wyatt's part
and that anyway he is not guilty of murder
in the first degree.
Wyatt is q handsome looking young Eng
lishman and has a wife and child.
Cavaugh's widow and children sat in court
throughout yesterdays proceedings.
Bayard Stockton, with whom is associated
ex Mayor G.. ID. w. Vroom, are conducting
the prosecution. Lawyers Horotlo NJ. Bar
ton and Chauncey II. Beasley are defending
the prisoner.
1t is believed by many that a verdict of
murder In the first degree will be given.

The Midnight Owl Follows
the Early Closing.

al tell You this early closing
racket is awfully tight on the town,
said a man ia front of Livingston
Yesterday, with a nose the color OF
ripe peach.
Il am watching the game, and
the changes makes an old timer
tired. After the twelve o'clock
bell tolls, you can see each saloon
open its doors and a lot CT shisty
old DRINKS begin to reel up Main
street, leaving the bright and
cheerful bar for their bleak and
dismal homes. They britt the
awnin' posts on the sides of the
street and make the bildin's rattle,
as they zlgzag across again. They
are just prined full enough to
make it lively for the family when
they git there, when if they could
have good sleep in some corner
they would reach home in good
humor. Well, just after twelve
the street is as quiet as the grave,
and then the owls come in from
the country and begin to flap and
flop about the city, taking entire
possession of it. You hear 'em
cry with the same old melancholy
refrain, "Too Whit! Too Whoo"
They roost in the Capitol and on
the churches and all over the hotels
and saloons and think they own
the town as they sing, "Too WHIT!
Too Whoo" and then they wind up
with .tapOo! lCoo! 10ooW as a man
passes. They growl this out right
in your face and look down with
eyes as big as saucers. Dozens of
'em come in and roost all night,
and every three minutes they
remark, "Too Whit! Too Whoo"
until a man wants to git a shot gun
and turn loose"
The man took fresh chew and
thought long while and continued.
ooh, they'r just the forerunners,
there'll be thousands here in few
months and then they'll take up
their roosts in Virginia City, and
they've come to stay. Unless the
Legislature repeats the law the
country's gone. By next year you
can't walk the streets at all after
l O'Clock in the morning, without
trampin' on owls"
