Not the First.

Lieutenant Peary's wife is not the first
woman to brave the perils and hardships
of Arctic exploration. About thirty
years ago j. W. Taylor of London was
placed in charge of an expedition sent
out from London to colonize the east coast

whalers. Mrs. Taylor's health failed at
the end of two years, and she returned to
England, her husband remaining year
longer. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor have lived
in Boston for twelve years, and are at
present visiting Cambridge. Mrs. Tay-
lor was very desirous of seeing Mrs.
Peary before she started north and of
wishing her success in person, but was
prevented by circumstances from doing
so.

Mckinney Lowers the Coast Tfott1nE
Race Record.
STOCKTON, Sept. 24.-Y Yesterday was a
day of surprises at the race-track, and
much ill-feeling was occasioned by the
ruling of the judges and a failure to get
the races off.
The great race of the meeting was the
free-for-all trot, but it could not be fin
ished, and was postponed till Monday
morning. There were six starters in the
race-klanath, Steve Whipple, Rich
mond Jr., Ottinger, Shylock and McKln-
ney-and it was hard fight for the purse
OF l,200. Truman was withdrawn and
klamath was the favorite, 2 to in the
pools. Ottinger was second choice, Whip
pie third, balance in the field.
An hour was spent in scoring for the
first heat, klamath usually bringing up
ahead or in the rear. Raymond. part
owner and driver of klamath, seemed
anxious to get the best of the start, be-
lieviug all the others were against his
horse. Judge Shippee threatened fines
and to change drivers, and finally sent
the trotters to the stable. An hour later,
at 4:40 o'clock, the trotters came out
again, and the judges sent them off on
the first score, with klamath eight
lengths behind, and howl went up.
Whipple took the heat length ahead of
Mckinney, in 2:l3, lowering his record
one second. On the next send-off Kla-
math was ten lengths behind but could
not catch up in the mile.
The heat was hard race between Nc
Kinney, Whipple and Ottinger. Whipple
led all the way around to within hun
dred yards of the wire, when Mckinney
and Ottinger closed up and the three
came down almost abreast and under the
whip at terrific gait. Mckinney poked
his nose under the wire first in 2:114,
lowering his record three-quarters of a
second and making the fastest trotting-
race record ever made in the State, and
the shouting and swearing went up
louder. Backers of the favorite began
showing intense anger. and the feeling
ran high. The judges called Raymond to
the stand and announced that they would
put up Jonathan behind klamath. Ray
mond refused TO give up his horse and a
hot wrangle followed, when the judges
postponed the race, owing to the lateness
of the hour.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. A.-Fragments
of woodwork, coats and other wreckage
have floated ashore in the Gulf of Fin
land, showing that the Russian warship
Pousalka, with ten officers and $50 sea-
men, has foundered and all hands lost.
The Pousalka, as exclusively cabled to

in the same gulf, and has not been heard
from since. The Pousalka had four and
a half inch armor, carried four nine-inch
guns, was of 1000 tons displacement, had
7S6 indicated horsepower and was classed
as having a speed of eighteen knots. The
body of sailor supposed to belong to the
crew was washed ashore, and as it is
known severe gales swept over those
waters soon after she left port, there is no
doubt, as the Admiralty stated, that the
POusalka has foundered.

ROBBERS COME TO GRIEF.
One Killed and the Other Seriously

One Killed and the Other Seriously
Wounded.
VALPARAISO Und.), Sept. "a. = Two
men made an attempt to rob the safe of
the Northern Indiana Normal School last
night. They were chased and both shot,
one dead and another seriously wounded.
One is from Versailles, Ind, and the
other IS from Kalamazoo, Mich.
The dead man is F. E. Robinson and
the wounded one, who is lodged in Jail, is
C. NJ. Moody. The men entered the
banking office of the college at about $3.50
o'clock. and covered the young lady Sec
retary and her assistant with revolvers.
The girls knocked the weapons from the
hands of the men and ran screaming
down the stairs. The robbers realized
that their effort was frustrated. and ran
out OF the building through the campus
and down the Fort Wayne track, fol-
number of fully 100. In the meantime
the Sheriff and posse, together with a
number of citizens, were warned, and
they also started in the chase.
The students when they approached
near enough began to throw stones and
other missiles at the thieves. They re-
turned the fire with their revolvers, and

Howe was driving along the road and the
robbers fired at him. He picked up
Winchester rifle lying in the wagon and
fired, instantly killing Robinson. The
second shot brought down Moody. who
was then captured and brought to the
city. Moody is about p years old, and is
the son of furniture-dealer in Kalama-
zoo, Mich, and was student in the de-
partment of stenography. His dead COM
panion was about the same age. and was
graduate of the same department.
Coroner Coates will hold an inquest to-
morrow on Robinson, the robber killed.
The robbers had in their trunks shoes
with the soles cut off, heavy black for
masks and cartridges. Papers and let
ters found in the trunk Of the wounded
man show the name of Claire Robinson,
instead of Moody, as he gave it last night.

man, and when told so to-day 1t seemed
