END OF THE RELAY RUN.
Ride from Chicago to New York Made in
100 Hours 8 Minutes.


New YORK, May 23.-The bicycle re-
lay run from Chicago to New York, a
distance of 1922 miles, ended at l :O8 this
morning. The run from Utica to Peeks-
kill was repetition of the early part of
the run, the riders struggling for miles
through mud hub deep. Harry
Eveland, who took the message at
Peekskill at 1904 P. NJ, plowed through
the mud with grim determine
ton, but 30 slowly that George
c. Smith, who was awaiting him
at Croton, grew anxious and rode
back to meet him. Eveland's substi-
tute dropped out early in the journey,
and Smith had ridden back to Sing Sing
before he met Eveland. The plucky
Peekskill man literally fell off his wheel
at Sing Sing when he saw Smith, and
lay PROSTATE in the muddy street, un-
able to rise, 80 great was his exhaustion.
Smith grabbed the leather pouch, and,
leaving Eveland lying there, struck
out for Tarrytown. The road was so
bad that Smith was forced to dismount,
and he walked nearly to Tarrytown, a
distance of seven miles. when he was
met by Munger, Of Chicago, who had
ridden from Tarrytown. Munger took
the message from Smith and carried it
a mile and q half, the remainder of the
relay, to Tarrytown. There was but
one relay from Tarrytown to the term
mus, q Park Row, New York City.
The distance is about twenty eight
miles. The entire run of 1922 miles
was made in 100 hours, minutes.

BLOODY CAREER ENDED.
Murderer Deeming Looses His Nerve on
the ScsffOld.

Murderer Deeming Looses His Nerve on
the Scaffold.
MELBOURNE, May 23.-Frederick Bay
ley Deeming was hanged one minute
after 10 o'clock this morning. Seventy
reporters and physicians gathered in
the prison yard to witness the execn-
ton, and in front, outside the wall,
thousands upon thousands waited from
6 O'Clock this morning to watch the
black flag and wait for the signal that all
was over. When Deeming was led
into the yard and up to the gallows
everybody was surprised to see
that he was not chained, as
had been expected. He walked un-
steadily between the guards, and sew
His face was ashen and he shook like
man with the palsy. He seemed to be
stupeied by his approaching death.
When his arms were pinioned he
wavered and would have fallen had he
not been caught by the warden. At
first he shook his head when his
last opportunity to speak was given
him. Then he rallied from his stupor
and with a strong effort called out:
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" He
tried to say more and stood with his
mouth half open, but no words came.
AS the moose was adjusted his knees
knocked together, and he would have
collapsed had he not been supported
until he was swung into midair. He
died without struggle and almost in
stantly.
A coroner's jury was empanelled.
the inquest lasting until noon. Death
was instantaneous. The tongue, it was
subsequently seen, protrudeG slightly
from the dead mans mouth, while the
jaws were firmly set. His eyes showed
signs, apparently, of recent heavy weep
ing.
All of Deeming's writings are III the
possession of the authorities, and it is un-
derstood that he made a written confess
sion of the Windsor murder. The bulk
of his literary efforts, however, are but
repetitions of his previous conflicting
statements.
Chaplain Scott said that he had ex-
horted Deeming yesterday to confess
his crimes. The prisoner, he added,
adhered fully to his former statement
that he had only committed the Wind
sor murder He declared that if he ad-
mitted the Rain Hill murder he would
be lying.
The biography which report had it he
was going to bequeath to Miss Kate
hOuuZVllle, MS lat6SI udnC66, Is 1ull OF
r1bald illusions and fantastic vaporings.
He gave to Rev. Mr.. Scott a farewell
letter dated yesterday, and a poem en-
titled ITO God l Call" In this letter
Deeming says: 81 am dying a fully
penitent sinner and Christian. [ was
unconscious of doing so. l can only re-
gard my execution as murder. Still
death will be relief. I should have
died happy but for this point" He
referred to Miss Rounzville in terms
that the Rev. Mr.. Scott declines to have
published.
The chaplain said that Deeming was
the strangest man he ever met in the
course of his long experience with GRIM
inals. He declared that he was doubt
full whether the murderer was a splen-
did actor or a lunatlc, but he was in
clined TO believe that he was crazy.
When Deeming was praying in his
cell, just before the execution, he was
overheard asking forgiveness for the
injury he had done his family. This is
construed as confession of the Rain
Hill murder
