KLUGE'S EXPLANATION.
1t Was an Accident Yacht
ing, Boating and
Notes.

Charley Kluge was unfortunate. His
explanation puts a different aspect on
what appeared to be a deliberate attempt
to give that race at Richfeld Spring to
Tonkin. The latter was less generous
than Kluge, aud when the Jersey City
man met with his accident Tonkin, in
stead of stopping and thus reciprocating.
went right on to the finish. He thus did
an injury to Kluge. and he too has hurt
MS own reputation, as he made it appear
that it had been arranged that he should
win, although he would have been dis
tanced had Kluge been less magnani-
nous.
Kluge makes a plausible statement.
They were thoroughly tired when all had
retiredibut him and Tonkin. He stopped for
Tonkin, and they agreed to stop Tor din
ner then start and make a close finish.
Kluge knew that he could defeat Tonkin
even on the short run to comolete the
fifty miles, but believed it would be more
satisfactory to the spectators if they had
a hard drive at the end of the course.
kluge was in the lead and would nave
won easily had not his foot slipped tn
pedal. an accident that frequently occur
when men are riding fast. He was thsn
only $50 yards from the finish. Be
fore he could rccover Tonkin passed
him and went right home and
was too far away to be
overtaken. He denies that it was ar
ranged that Tonkin should win n he
was confident of beating Tonkin on the
homestretch. Kluge is not disturbed by
the action Of Wianotha Bicycle Club in
Withholding the prizes and threatening
to appeal to the L. A. w. He complains
of the wretched management of the race.
Contradictory orders were given and
there was no tape to mark the finish. A
nail in a fence served as the mark that
the course had been completed while the
timekeepers were stationed a hundred
yards beyond the mark.
The opposition to awarding the prizes
seems to have emanated from those who
had wagers on the result. Kluge's many
admirers in this city who know the man
will scout the idea that ne would indulge
in any such trick as he is charged with
indulging in. He is not of the kind who
throw races. He has a clean record and
jealousy guards it. 1t is the opinion of
his friends that he lost the race by a mere
accident, for had he desired to lose he
would not lave ridden his wheel SO fast
and taken the lead bat would have re-
manned behind Tonkin. The fact of his
doing his utmost and going to the front
is regarded as conclusive proof that he
was riding to win.

NEWARK, August 8, 1S90.-"An English
and an American syndicate practically
control the hide Market" said Hugh
Smith, the patent leather manufacturer.
when asked last night why the patent
leather men had agreed to increase the
price of their product, "and because they
have increased the price of hides we were
forced for our own safety to take the step
you speak Of"
A meeting at which the patent leather
manufacturers of Newark were either
present or represented took place at the
Board of Trade rooms on Wednesday
night, and it was then agreed that the
price of patent leather should be in-
creased about 10 per cent. in the various
grades. A committee consisting of
Charles E. H. Stengel, Hugh Smith and
Patrick Reilly yesterday visited the other
manufacturers of patent leather in this
city and secured the signatures Of all ex-
cept two to the agreement decided upon
at the meeting. These two asked for
time to consider the matter, bur Mr..
Smith believes that they will also sign.
He says a much greater increase In price
has been made by the dealers In sole
leather II rough leather, the former
having raised the price so or 90 per cent.

haired yatig woman, comely to
look upoa and educated far beyond
the average Of her sex, was wooed,
won and deserted. The old, old
ssory. Heart broken, she sought a
position as a teacher, and failing in
this, she desperately resolved tostart
a newspaper stand. Evidently her
mind became unhinged, for she
would sit all day and far into the
night grooming over her little pile
Of papers and oblivious Of the pass
ing crowd. Then she moved the
stand into dismal basement, be-
cause it was dark there and she
could be alone. The neighbors con-
cIuding that she was crazy, sent for
her relatives, but she refused to go
home But one resource was left :
the insane asylum. and to-day. the
poor creature is within the four
square walls Of a cell in Blooming
dale. RI
Another The body of still
handsome woman was found one
morning in her rooms ON the first
floor Of an apartment house in this
city. She died from hemorrage du-
ring the highland before physician
could be summoned. Among her
effects was an old letter written by
an admirer, in which she is alluded
to as ''the belle Of Allegheny city,"
Her bclnty still remained. She was
a brunette; her features were regu-
lar and fine, aud her hair heavy and
black The old woman who acted
as her maid Of all work, said thatshe
had lived IN New York and else
where under different names, she
belonged to one Of the best fanli-
lies in Pittsbug, and had a brother
still living, with whom she had
her right to certain pro-
perty willed to her by her father in
1855. OF late, the servant said, she
had been supported by a fruit dealer
from New Jersey. When he was
informed that she was dead, he
turned away impatiently without
even looking at the body and left
the premises, although the servant
called after him that there was not
enough money in the house to give
her mistress a decent burial. Her
grave is now in Potter's Field.
