dim memories of the past stepped the 1.-the
form of Edward Carter, and at the Berkeley
Oval to-day won the l0-mile race for the
championship of the A. A. U. The record
smasher of bygone years has light and
springy step, and he raL around the quar-
ter-mile track 40 times without any apparent
physical exhaustion. With somebody to
push him there would have been some ex-
citement, as the winged-foot man was in
trim for struggle. Carter ran beautifully
for 5A miles, and then having gained one or
more laps on all his competitors. he drew on
a heavy white sweater and finished in Jog.
He ran alongside Collins, the Varuna Boat
Club entry, for the latter half of the dis
tance and carried the latter into second
place.
The next event was the two-mile steeple

Couple of Victims.
CoRsICANA, TEX, Dec. 12.-[Speciaz r
It is quite likely there will yet be some
sensational developments in the Cohen &
Co. failure at Blooming Grove. Late last
night number of excited farmers, whose
cotton receipts are tied up in the firms as
sets, called on Mr.. Cohen and his partner,
Mr.. Stokes, and demanded that the receipts
be released. Cohen & Stokes, being un-
able to grant their request without violat-
ing the law, refused High words followed,
when some one in the crowd yelled: "Hang
the rascals!'
Ropes that evidently had been brought
along for the purpose, with nooses OH the
ends, were thrown over the two mems heads
and the crowd made rush for a telegraph
pole, when Judge Samuel R. Frost came on
the scene. He rushed up to the two i'm
prisoned men, and throwing the ropes from
their necks, addressed the crowd eloquently.
He finally shamed them out of their pur-
pose and dispersed the crowd. In the morn
ing number of dissatisfied men came to
this city and began threatening Mr. Cohen's
father and brother, but were counseled into
placing the matter in legal shape for prose-
cution and induced to go home.

Camden Masseur.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21-C Special +
Mrs. Carrie Hoberstroh, middle-aged
widow residing in Camden, who gives
massage treatment, and also follows the
profession of chiropodiat, was tonight
the victim of vitriol thrower. There is a
certain mystery surrounding the case which
the police have as yet been unable to solve.
They are unable to determine whether the
vitriol was intended for Mrs. Hoberstroh or
her pretty daughter, Miss Jennie F. Hober-
stroh, who is typewriter and trained
nurse.
Mrs. Hoberstroh is badly burned about
the face and hands, and it is feared will lose
her sight, beside being disfgured for life.
Her dress was also badly burned by the
deadly liquid. The vitriol was thrown SO
quickly, and Mrs. Hoberstroh was so sud-
denly blinded, that she couldn't tell tonight
who committed the dastardlv act, or whether
the person was q man or woman. The vic
tim resides at a modest but comfortable
home with her son Charles. an oilcloth
printer, and her daughter Jessie. The lat
ter says she does not know of an enemy
they have in the world, and cannot suspect
who committed the dastardly deed. The
affair happened about o'clock tonight,
when Ms. ,Hoberstroh answered ring at
the dost, where she was met by the un-
known pc 500.

New YORK, Dec. l2I[SpecidLl-C. A.
Prince, owner of the Boston Association
Baseball Club, arrived in the city late
Thursday night and registered at the Abe
marie. All day yesterday Messrs. Prince,
Spalding and Byrne devoted to secret con-
ference at an uptown hotel. Mr.. Prince
said that there was no foundation for the
statement that lie had sold his interest in
the Boston club to an Associa tion syndicate.
He is still the principal stock owner. Heex-
pressed the opinion that the 12-club League
would surely succeed, and Messrs. Spalding
and Byrne echoed that sentiment.
When the subject of their conferenc &C was
mentioned the three magnates became
dumb. There is little question, however.
that they are engaged in perfecting the de-
tails of consolidation in Boston and discuss
ing plans for a settlement at other points.
