QUEEN OF THE TURF.
Sunol Takes the Laurels from
Maud s. -
TIE TRoTTING RECORD LOWERED.

The Famous Mare Trots Around
the Kite Shaped Track at Saora-
mento in 2.OS 1-4-DIarvelous Time
on the Last Quarter, Which Was
Covered in 81 IA Seconds.
STOCKTON. CAL, Oct. 21.-Marvin re-
deemed his promise yesterday and put
Sunol over the kite shaped track, beat
ing the best time of Maud s. by clean
half second. The morning opened bright
and sunny, with very little wind blow
ing. At II o'clock the temperature was
70 degrees and there was light breeze
stirring. All through the afternoon it
looked bad, but about o'clock the wind
died down and only gentle breeze was
felt. The track was in fine condition
and Marvin decided that the conditions
could never be more favorable. He had
the mare rubbed down carefully and
when she came out she looked less ner-
vous than usual.
or on the First Attempt.
None of the usual trials were needed,
for on the first attempt Marvin nodded
and was off. The mare made great
time, gaining the first quarter in 31s Sec
onds. Nothing could exceed the beauty
of her pace. She moved like machine
and Marvin sat like statue. The same
even beautiful pace was maintained to
the half, which all timers marked at
1.04 fiat. When this was announced it
looked bright for breaking the record.
The Record Beaten.
At the half the flying mare was met
by the runner, whose presence seemed
to encourage her, and she passed the
three-quarter pole in 1877. Then Mar
win began to urge her, and with the
runner doing his best to keep up she
made the last quarter the fastest of the
mile. AS she rushed down the stretch
the men who were holding the watches
on the great test said, "She breaks the
record" And they were right, for
when the great young mare passed un-
der the wire hundreds of watches
clicked as they stopped at 2.0st, half
second better than the record held for
so many years by Maud s, who is also
owned by Robert Bonner, the proud
owner of the present queen of the turf.

by George w. Snaman, carpet dealer,
badly damaged the building and dam
gerously injured MIR. Snaman and f. G.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 20.-The mangled re-
mains of young woman were found at
the base of the Washington monument,
on Mount Vernon Place. She had
thrown herself from the topof the shaft,
which lowered 155 feet above her dead
body. 1t is presumed that the woman
went to the top of the monument with
deliberate intention of committing sui
eide. A woman who was on the mon
ument while she was there noticed her
agitation and asked if she felt i'll. She
made some vague reply, and was soon
left alone. She then made the awful
leap to the stone tagging below. The
remains, which indicated refinement
and genteel poverty, We're for a long
time unidentified. They were finally
recognized as those of Miss Alice Hecht,
of 2l0 West Fayette street.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Return JON
athan Meigs, the venerable clerk of the
court of the District of Columbia, died
at his residence in this city, aged 90
years. He was at his desk last Saturday.
Mr.. Meigs was born in Clark county,
Kentucky, in 1901, and was appointed
clerk in 1858. His peculiar given name
was first borne by his great uncle, native
of Connecticut. The father of this great
uncle had been repeatedly refused by q
Quakeress of whom he was enamored.
After one OF her refusals he was riding
from her house with the resolve never
to return when the woman called after
him, Return, Jonathan" These words,
which gave him SO much happiness, he
bestowed on his first child, and some
member of each succeeding generation
has borne the same name.

THE SPEEDING CYCLISTS.
Great Interest in the Contest at
Madison Square Garden.

Madison Square Garden.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-No go-as-you-'
please pedestrian contest ever drew such
large gatherings of spectators, nor elic-
tied so much enthusiasm, as the bicycle
race now in progress at Madison Square
Garden. Many ladies are among the
spectators of the race, and they witness
a scene far different from that presented
by six-day-go-as-you-please, with its
horde of tough young men, its worn and
haggard and weary peds dragging them
selves along in half undress. The riders
of the big wheels are all handsome, ath-
letic young men, and each appears in
fresh, clean tights and jerseys of bright
hues, each wearing a sash of dis
tinguishing color.
BY the terms of the race each rider
covering 275 miles in the first twenty
four hours received special prize of
$95. Ashinger, Edlin, Martin, Lamb,
Schock and Robb earned the first in the
series of prizes.
Eddie Mcdowell, the young Ameri-
can, who excited SO much admiration
in the early hours of the race by
his graceful riding has dropped ont Of
the race. Prince, though an ex-cham-
p.on, has been compelled to retire, and
30 has O'Flanagan.
The score at a. IN. was as follows:
Martig. 593 miles; Ashinger, 5s5;
Lamb, 561; Schock, 542; Edlim, SOL;
Robb, 500; Albert, 447; Boyst, All;
Stage, AIS; Wood, 302; Lumsden, 266.

MCDONALD, Pa, Oct. 21.-Just at
present this place, which is in Washing
ton county, eighteen miles southwest of
Pittsburg, is one of the iveliest towns
in western Pennsylvania. 1t is the CEN
ter of the great new oil field, where phe-
nomenal wells, or "gushers" as the oil
men call them, are struck almost daily.
The daily product is estimated at any
quantity from 10000 to $4,000 barrels.
At the current market price. about sixty
one cents, this means that from $24 400
to $3S, $50 a day are distributed among
the many producers.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.
No Meeting Yesterday-Boyer VIII
Honor Waitress Warrants.

HARRIsBURo, Oct. 21.-There was no
session of the senate yesterday. There
is some speculation as to the length Of
time that will be consumed in the Boyer
and McCamant cases. So far as the tes-
timony is concerned, it will doubtless be
all in in both cases before the close Of
the week, unless the senate declines to
receive testimony in the McCamant case
until judgment has been rendered in
Boyer's case. If this course is adopted,
and and counsel and SENATOR'S indulge
in long argument, the Boyer case may
consume the entire week.
Last night State Treasurer Boyer an
nounced that he would pay the war
rants drawn by the presiding officer OF
the senate in Difference to the opinion Of
the attorney general. This disposes of
the money question, unless some one
shall procure an injunction to restrain
him from paying them, which is not
very probable.

In NAVERY UGLY MOOD
Parnellites Call Mr.. 0'Brien o
Murderer.
FIGHTING MoBs IN THE STREETS.

They Mako Things Lively for tho
Police on the Occasion of O'Brien's
Visit to Kilkenny-Davitt and Red
mond to Contest the Seats Left
Vacant by Hennesey and ParnelI.
KILKENNY, Oct. 21.-When Mr.. Will
lam O'Brien arrived to attend the
county convention he was met at the
railway station by great crowd of peo-
pie, who, upon seeing him emerge from
the waiting room, greeted him with
mingled cheers and Kisses. A strong
police escort was drawn up in front of
the station, and as soon as Mr.. OBrien
had taken his place in the carriage which
the committee had provided for his use
the officers formed square about it and
escorted the visitor tothe town hall.
AS the policemen and carriage moved
slowly along the enthusiastic cheers of
Mr.. O'Brien's admirers were met, and
sometimes drowned, by the ugly hiss
ings and derisiye jeers of those in the
crowd who insisted in looking upon the
occupant of the carriage as one of the
enemies of the dead Parnell. Presently
bH5 blLl5loE cry OI 'muFuer6r' WAS
heard, and until the arrival of the pro-
cession at its destination this epithet
fairly divided the honors Of the occasion
by applause and Kisses.
Belligerent ParnelIites.
While the convention was in session
numerous rows were taking place be-
tween the dictionaries, and the streets
were filed with fighting mobs. So saw
age were some of the attacks made by
the Parnellites upon their opponents that
the police were repeatedly compelled to
separate the fighting men in order to
prevent outright murder. In one or
two instances the officers found it
necessary to charge the crowds.
immediately upon Mr.. 0'Brien's ar
rival at the town hall the convention
organized by electing that gentleman as
Its presiding officer. Routine business
was promptly despatched, and then Mr..
Michael Davitt was selected to contest
the seat for North Kilkenny, made va
cant by the death of Sir John Hennesey,
in the event that the parliamentary
party refused to select candidate to
make the fight.
LONDON, Oct. 21.-John Redmond has
resigned as member of parliament for
Wexford and will contest the seat for
Cork made vacant by Mr.. ParnelPs
death.
Looking for Peace in London.
LONDON, Oct. 21.-There is a marked
change for the better today in the tone
of both the McCarthyites and tho Par
nellites, and the fact that there has
been no recrimination on either side for
over twenty-four hours inspires a hope
that reconciliation is within the possi-
bilities. Both factions are said to be
alarmed by the evidence of government
gains, not only in the north, but also in
the south of Ireland. Tenants every
where are hurrying to take advantage
of the land purchase act, and the re-
markable spectacle has been witnessed
in Tipperary of tenants, who recently
regarded the constabulary as their
bitterest enemies, actually subscribing
for prizes to be offered at the constab-
ulary's athletic games. For these and
other reasons both the Parnellite and
McCarthyite leaders begin to fear that
the prize may slip away while they are
quarreling over it.
