M'MAHoN WANTS A NEW TRIAL
Judge Ewing Says His Reckless Actions
Almost Indicated Murder.

Judge Ewing yesterday heard the argu-
ment for a new trial in the case of Thomas
Mcmahon, convicted of murder in the Sec
ond degree. Attorney James Evans repre-
sented the prisoner, and argued tnat the
facts as brought out by the evidence did not
warrant a second degree verdict. If the
prisoner was guilty OF any crime it could
not be greater than involuntary man
slaughter, as the testimony did not show
any evidence of malice.
Judge Ewing remarked that the case came
very close to the line of second degree muir
der. The reckless handling of firearms
without regard for human life came very
near the line that marks murder from man
slaughter.
District Attorney Burleigh argued for the
Commonwealth and contended that the
verdict was just one, and that the evil
dence justified it. Judge living reserved
his decision.

Should Redistrict the Township.

Judge Ewing handed down an opinion
yesterday refusing to grant petition for
the creation OF q fifth election district in
Elizabeth township. He said that il the
number Of votes cast was test there was
no necessity for more than four precincts.
There was, however, disparity in the num-
Der of voters in the different districts and 1t
was probable that a readjustment of the
lines might remedy the inequality. The Pc
tition should have been for a redistricting
OF the whole township.

Scientists Are Interested In Him, and Col.
Barkdaie Wouldn't Sell Him.
Col. f. N. Barksdale, Of the passen-
ger department of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, has dog that can tell the
time of day. This dog learned in
very remarkable way. Colonel
Barksdale has a very fine clock that
strikes only on the hour and then
very slowly. The colonel got into the
way Of making the dog tap with his
foot at each stroke Of the clock. Fin
ally he got so he would do 50 without
being told. Just before the clock
strikes it gives little cluck, and
whenever the dog heard this, he
would prick up his ears, raise his paw.
and gently taphis paw at each stroke
without being toldy
After awhile he got so that when any
one clucked like the clock he would
get into position and wait for the
strikes. He was for a long time CON
fused at not hearing the clock. but af-
ter awhile began tapping his paw any
way. The remarkable point is that
after awhile he remembered how many
strokes We're due at each succeeding
hour, 50 now whenever the colonel
clucks he gets in position and taps tho
number Of strokes the clock should
make next time. Thus at any time
after 10 o'clock he taps eleven times,
after 4 o'clock five times. sc. Some
learned scientists are going TO investi-
gate the matter to see whether The
dog actually possesses reasoning fac,
nlties. Col. Barksdale will not part
with the dog under any conditions. =

The fact that woman with such an
extensive pedigree should marry man
with none does not speak well for the
preservation Of the noble families OF
England They should furnish man y
scions worthy OF her hand with wealth
enough TO support her.
But there is another phase not so
creditable The Prince Of Wales, the first
gentleman of Europe, has borrowed
money from the Wilson's in exchange
for the gaudY glitter OF the social sun
shine Of court life. It was only few
years ago that President Grevys son-in-
Law was selling French titles to the
highest bidder in Paris. 1t may not be
long before another uncomfortable
scandal may be whispered all over the
world involving the British peerage and
members Of the royal family.
Bearing these things in mind this
union Of meaningless titles and money
does not present cheerful view Of the
future for families whose psdigrees
must 20 so far into ancient history to
fnd man whose estates are lost, and
whose treasures possess nothing but the
empty slmulacrum of nobility to be sold
to the highest bidder.
This country has started the right sort
Of nobility, in making every man, who is
honest and honorable, a severe ign

There is but one true nobility; the no

SHAMROCK AND WHEELS.

McDufree Of Lynn. Mass, Wins the
twenty five Mile Road Race-Ehs VIII
mington Meet on Saturday "A Good One
for the Visitors.
The success attending the meet Of the
Wilmington " heel Club at Hazel Dell
Park on Saturday afternoon exceeded
the greatest expectations of the manage
ment. Three thousand persons, many
OF them women, witnessed the events,
ami patiently sat watching the visiting
and local flyers Swimming over the track
on the wheel. Machines of every kind
could be seen everywhere, and many
women wore the colors Of their favorites
The day could not have been better
one, although, the long distance riders
doubtless wished it little cooler The
event IN which the greatest interest was
eVinced was the 25-mile road race. There
were twenty-five starters out of the
twenty six entries.
The race started at 3 80 o'clock. J. T.
booge was the first man to start on the
long run. he rode hard tire machine,
and made the best of his thirteen minutes
start. The other men were sent off at
intervals ranging from twelve minutes to
one minute and a-half, and every time
man started he was cbeered by applause
and the waving of handkerebiefs.
The interest conferred on Seeds and
McDufee, the two scratch men. Ne
Dutfse took the pole on the start and
held the lead by length. He tried to
run away from Seeds. but they were too
evenly matched. They maintained their
respective positions when they left the
track and took to the road, and those in
the grand stand left their seats and
watched them along the road as far as
the eye could reach. They made the
first mile on the track in 2 3S. One by
one the riders left the track, and the other
events we're proceeded with. Every
once and awhile some wag in an upper
seat in the grand stand would cry: "aere
they comet and have half the spectators
on their feet.
In one hour and fifteen minutes Seeds
returned He rode around the track
once and the judge called out; Have
you gone over the course2' "No, | have
not" He then told how Hickman Jack
son. Wilmington man, had accidently
run into him Seeds, McDuffee and
Hsnley were riding in a bunch on the
second lap to New Castle Seeds was
leading. At Hannah Moors's Bill at the
end of the causeway they met jackson,
who became startled at some enc calling
to him aud lost control of his wheel He
ran into Seeds and broke his pneumatic
wheel.in two at the head. Hanley immedia-
tely left his wheel and offered 1t to
Seeds 1t was cushion tire and
Seeds knew he had no chance of winning
in it, with McDuffee on a pneumatic
Therefore he dropped out Of the race.
When he arrived on the track he was
greeted with cheers The spectators
thought he had won and were much dis
appointed when they ascsrtained that he
had not The other starters who did
not finish were Robert McArdie, w w.
@. 10 minutes; C. p King. w. A. O.. 10
minutes; L Hanley, W. W. O., u

McDuffee won the race easily in hour,
% minutes and 2 seconds
The following was the time made by
each man;
