A WILD RACE.
-Four Locomotives Sent Over a Measured
Mile on the Jersey Meadows.

JERSEY CRY, Nov. -Four locomotives
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. each repre-
senting different style of construction,
were raced over a measured mile on the
Jersey Meadows on October II. The pur-
pose of the novel race was 10 discover
which style of machine could do the best
work in order that it might be duplicated
for use in hauling the fast trains to the
Worlds Fair next year. -Four trains were
drawn up on parallel tracks. The engines
had been brought from different parts of
the system between New York and Pitts
burg.
In the cars were the leading working otl-
cials of the road including the general su-
perintendents and civil engineers. Gen
eral Msnager Pagle was a, the head and
among the general superintendents were
Messrs. Jackson, Shepard aud Kenny, who
were on their usual tours of inspection. One
object of the test of the engines was also
the testing of the track The engines Sc
lected for the race were the Baldwin Com
pound engine No. 1910, with drivers 4 fett
8 inches the English engine No. 1920, ia
military known on the line rs johnny
Bull" with drivers & feet , inches; the
Schenectady engine No. 1904, with drivers
& feet inches and the Pennsy lvania engine
No. $40, with drivers 6 feet inches. Each
engine drew two cars.
They started from the terminal station at
Jersey City. As each sped up the track
the roar of the engines could be heard far
ahead. The Baldwin Compound" and the
Johnny Bull had demonstrated their
ability as drawers of heavy trains, but
didn't show up so well on speed for mile,
as they covered the distance in 63 and 65
seconds respectively. The Schenectady
engine did the mile in just So seconds,
which is equal to ~ miles an hour, this was
considered good time bat the Pennsylva-
MAS own No. $40. made in her own shops,
did better, doing the mile in Al seconds,
The officials were well pleased with the
test but it was said that another of the com
pany's own engines knocked off two seconds

course on n previous occasion III A.

HYPNOTlZED IN COURT.


SANTA Rosa, Cal. Nov. l.-Faward J.
Iivernash, who tried to kill Darius Ether
ilgc of Cloycrdlale some time ago and was
sent to an insane asylum, was released last
week Etheridge at once sued HIM. Llv'
ernash was hypnotizcd in court 10 let him
live over the incidents of the attempted
murder.
DR.. Gardner. who has acquired great in
fluence over Livcrnash- hyPnotized HIM by
waving u shining disc before his eyes. kx-
perts for the prosecution tried to see
whether he was shamming. They ran
needle through bis ear but he never WINGED.
His face was rs pale as that of corpse
and his limbs were rigid, but he answered
every question asked and gave in minute
detail what he did on the cventful night as
well as what he thought.
Finally Iivernash began to escape the
doctors control. He gave orders as "the
King of Siam" whereupon the doctor woke
him out of his trance, DIR. Gardiner then
explained that Livcrnash was victim OF
auto-hvphotism is he could throw
himself into a state which resembled som
nambulism. during which he was not re-
snousibIc for his actions. 1t was in such a
state he attempted murder. He was dan
rGrous unless under control of stronger
nature. The trial is still on.

NO oousI IN KANSAS.
Republicans Are Certain That They Will Win
Great Victory.

ABILENE, kan.s Nov. l.-Tbe poll of the
interior counties of Kansas is surprising the
most sdnguine. The indications are for a
victory as overwhelming as was the defeat
in 1899 for Republicans. The fifth dis
triet shows gains in every county, and a
clean victory when all the doubtful. list is
conceded to the opposition. The Alliance
majority in 1890 was $500, and the gains
are thus seen to be considerable. One
county, Washington, that gave the Alliance
400 majority, has Republican majority of
600 ON the poll. At Il Republican rally in
Clay county last week there were enough
voters in line to carry the county for the
ticket, and all will vote as they marched.
Ingalls, speeches will be resumed this
week in Central Kansas. The distinguished
orator suffered from gastritis and was not
out of the house for week. He is in the
race to help the Republicans win and shows
no indications of lukewarmness.
The practical support of the Republican
ticket by Mrs. Lease and other Alliance
leaders has caused widespread con-
sternation in the Alliance ranks and
will have the effect of changing many
votes. The movement, too. in favor
of Jerry Simpson for United States
Senator is full fiedged. and will tend to in
crease Republican majorities on Legislators.
Simpson has left his district and is busily
engaged working for the selection of Legis-
lators acceptable to himself. He has the
assurance of enough Alliance candidates if
they are elected, to choose him on the first
ballot to succeed Perkins. Former Repub-
licans do not take kindly to the idea of
Simpson and PETER representing Kansas in
the Upper House of Congress. The vote
will be large one, the largest in the states
history, and the gain will be almost entirely
from Republicans who have stayed at home
before, That means victory

PROTECTION AND GUNS.
A New Factory Building at Buffalo Owing 10

RilFALo. Noy. Hardy day passes
that western New York does not see some
practical illustration of the benefits of the

latest is that of the Burgess Gun Company,
who are building immense works in this city,
which will be in running order by De
ccmber at the latest. Tho number of

be about 100 as n starter

organizer of the company, who is'the inven-
tor of several important gun mechanisms.
is in this city overseeing the building of his
1 factory and will remain here. When asked
how the Mckinley tariff affected his bust
ness he replied:
But for Mckinley our industry would
never have existed. AMI Belgium would
have continued to manufacture nearly all
the guns used in this country. Without a
tariff We cannot compete with their pauper
labor
What are the comparative wages of
gunmakers in this country and Belgium:
ssThey earn one franc in Belgium where
they earn ~ here. The sweating system

the factory and his wife and children will
work on it. The Mckinley law puts spe-
cifc duty of from : to sG on each g,in,and
retains the old duty of 81 per cent. al yalo-
rem. They can beat us out on cheap guns,
for none are made in this country except u
few single barrels.

in the event of Cievelands election next
week all of the Eastern states would be
supplied with coal from Nova Scotia.
II know" he said, ''that a syndicate of
Boston capitalists have secured options on
all of the coal mines in Nova Scotia. Some
time ago saw dispatch from Boston in a
Philadelphia paper saying that such syn
dictate had been formed and that Henry NJ.
Whitney was at the head of it. | immedi-
ately wrote to one of the large mine owners
III Nova Scotia and asked himif there was
any truth in the report
"A few days ago received a reply from
that gentleman, and said that the syndicate
had secured an option upon all of the mines
in Nova Scotia. If Cleveland is elected
this syndicate will purchase the mines on
the belief that the tariff will be removed
from coal. Their object is to get the mar

statements against the New York & New

the 50 900 900 bonds for registration.
The hearing today was ON the motion 10

court. James II. Webb of New Haven,
counsel for the plaintiff, Nathan +. Gold
smith and Edward F. knowlton of Boston
testified that he passed the greater part of
five weeks in taking the deposition of Sec
retary Perkins. Mr.. Webb SAID that he
examined IA sets of books of various rail-
road organizations at one time or another
that had contributed to the organization of
the New England railroad. All the books
showed marks of recent examination in the
pencil footings made.
The Boston. Hartford & Ere books
