AwELL-coNrEsTED SKATING RACE
LAST NIGHT.
A Los Angeles Boy Wins an Exciting Con-
test--A gao Glass Trot on Thursday
The Pool Match.

The skating match last evening
drewout large crowd at Haz
ards pavilion. The contestants were
Edward O'Neil, of Monrovia, who gained
considerable reputation as speedy
skater in and around Minnesota severa
years since, and Lem Morgan, of Los An
geles, the young lad who recently beat
the best California skaters at San Fran.
cisco, and gained the reputation as the
champion boy skater by beating the
worlds record of 275t4 miles for "a
hours by six miles.
| Ben Benjamin of the HERALD was &C.
I lected as referee. Judging from an ath-
letic point of view, O'Neil appeared "a
outclass Morgan, who is very slender
and probably does not weigh more than
ITO pounds. Morgan was the quicker
to get going, and led around the turn at
a terrific pace. The contestants kept
well together for several laps. After
about tenth of the journey had been
negotiated, O'Neil assumed the lead by
clever spurt. He did not stay at the
head Of affairs very long. Morgan be-
gan to squirt and rushed by his older
competitor at wonderfully speedy gait.
The spectators cheered wildly. Ladies
waved their handkerchiefs and the scene
was one of enthusiasm for several
moments. The boy wonder kept up q
continuous squirt until he opened q gap
OF one lap. The race was never
afterwards in doubt, Morgan just beat
ing O'Neil by two laps. There were
twenty laps to the mile. The race last
night was for five miles. No official
time was kept. Next Saturday night G..
Tyler is to tackle Morgan in a two-mile
race.
Prior to the race Charles Tyler gave a
very creditable exhibition of fancy skat-
ing.
A proposition is on foot to raise a
purse to back Morgan, the Los Angeles
boy, against either Snowdon, belmont
or any other skater in California, for a
series Of races at one, five and ten miles.
One race to be contested at Los Angeles
and one at San Francisco, and to toss up
for choice for city for the third race if it
is necessary. Morgan is such phenom-
enon, however, that it is very dubious
whether either Snowdon or belmont
would risk their reputation and meet
the Los Angeles boy. There will be
some satisfaction, however, in making
them back down.
TWO-THIRTY CANDIDATES.
A trotting match has been arranged
to come of on Thursday afternoon atthe
Agricultural park at O'Clock, between
Nevada by Simmons, and owned by DR..
K. D. Wise, and Kate Castleton, a mare

of the Abdallah park, Cynthiana, will
be up behind Nevada, and Dodd Dwyer
will hold the reins over Kate Castleton.

ST Trainmen's Carelessness.
sCmcAGo, Jan. 3l.-A serious accident
occurred at Thirty-first street and Stew.
art avenue this morning. The Chicago
and Eastern Illinois suburban train was
blocked at Thirty-first street by q freight
train, and while lying there the Chicago
and Erie accomm odation came up at a
high rate of speed, and not noticing the
Eastern Illinois in the dense fog, dashed
into the rear coach. A terrible panic
prevailed for while.
r.. G., Adena, young man from Rose
land, was killed. Frank Rosenbaum,
engineer OF the accommodation, and
John Ziegler, a passenger on
the suburban, were fatally in
jured. Lizzie Steinmetz, l.. G. Wynes,
j. M. White. Mrs. f. G. Williams,
j. II. Hubbard and v. Major were seri-
onsly but not fatally hurt.
There appears to have been no at
tempt on the part of the Eastern Illinois
trainmen to look for danger in the rear,
while they were delayed.

In Ohio there are two boys who think
less OF crawling things than Reeves does.
They are named Witherspoon and Priest,
and they live near Mount Pleasant. While
they were getting out stone for a fruit kiln
the other day they disturbed two large
b~lacksnakes, which Immediately attacked
them. Witherspoon, being fleet of foot,
escaped, but Priest was overtaken Just as
he reached a fence. One of the reptiles
coiled about his ankle and bound it to the
bottom rail. The other fastened on his
neck and the top rail.
Witherspoon's cries summoned a Mrs.
George, who ran to the rescue with an axe.

young Priest to death and then disposed
