 Record.

CHLLIC0THE, O.. October 1.-The grand stand and grounds on the fourth day of the Driving Park meet ing were filled to overfloWing, fully 10000 people being present. The chief feature of the day was the spe- cial in which Flying Jib was to go against the worlds pacing record of POI 3 I. which was made by Vest mont at Chicago ten years ago. Monroe Salisbery, the owner of the pacer, drove out Flying Jib and running mate, attached to d pneu- matic-tired wagon, and the famous Californian and his flyer were greet ed with cheers by the immense au- dience. After taking q turn around the track Andy Mcdowell, the only driver that ever drove q pacer in less than two minutes, mounted the seat and took the reins He drove the team up around the little loop of the kite, and before the audience knew what was up. down they came to the wire.
 AS he passed under the wire, Me Dowell nodded and the heat was on. The pair were going ata terrific clip, .Iib leading the runner to the half, which was made in 59 flat. Round ing the turn. the pacer kept up his clip to the threc-quarter pole, where l,a haoea, r.. .Ch.,Xxr ciuu., nf ,,.onl.nnc The gate was hot one still, and he kept even pace with the runner and shot under the wire amid the hushed silence of 10000 people who eagerly strained forward awaiting starter Loper's announcement of the time Some who had caught the pacer be- ganseheering, knowing that he had beaten the world 'sreeord, the watch working 200 anu 200 IL and the en- thusiasm of thecrowd broke loose in one wild yell of excitement. The au- dience fairly went wild and starter Eo- per had to ring the bell to quell the riot. At once all was quiet again and starter Loper said: You have wit messed something which no audience in the world has ever seen before. You have seen the fastest mile that was ever paced. Flying Iib has beaten Westmont and made the mile in 1:5s l-4'
 The audience once more broke out into cheers and applauded the pacer us Andy Mcdowell brought him np in front of the judges stand. He took off his cap and acknowledged the tribute given him. The mile that Jib went and time is all the more re- markable when the weather is taken ntoconsideration All day a

strong wind was blowing and the air was cold and clammy. The wind caught the horse as if came up the back stretch at the large loop and he forged ahead just the same. The first half of the heat was nude in .59 and the last half in 59 IA The quar- ters could not be taken as the flag man did not know that the start was to be made and were not at their posts at the quarter and three quarter poles. Another world $ record was broken by Onaquay, the game little trotter, who has been do- ing battle with Expressive and was beaten at Terre Haute. She trotted under the wire in the first heat of the 3-ycar-old trot in 2:11 34, taking the worlds three-year-o trotting record. Still another worlds record was broken by Sidmont, by Sidney, out of the great brood mare Foreleaf. the dam of Thistle (2:13 1-4), and Goldleaf (2:11 1-2(. Sidmont went against time and smashed the 3- year-old stallion record to smither- eeens, going the mile in 2l0 l-2, re- ducing the record made by Brook side full second

 Several persons have been to see me asking for licenses for the slaughter of horses" said the commissioner. ''I gave them no final answer, but sent them out to see if they could find a place for the location of such an establishment in the Stockyards district. If their efforts meet with success I believe I will grant li- cense to one of the parties seeking it. This plant, if started, will be watched by the department to see that all the meats go into the rendering tanks. am certain the city ordinances are suffi- ciently strict to make it possible for us to prevent the sale of horse meat for food. The difficulty has been in finding the meat. By licensing one plant we can watch it"

 Search Revealed Startling Discoveries
 For Boys of Their Ages.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Secret service de- tectives have caught the youngest pair of counterfeiters that have ever appeared on the books of Uncle Sam. The detect ives broke into room in an Old street tenement, where they found John O'Brien and Johf@ M. Johnson, and years old respectively, in the act of coin ing spurious silver dollar.
 Young Johnson seized an iron mold, still containing a newly cast coin, and attempted to strike the officer with it, but the mold was too hot and he had to drop it. Then the officer knocked him down with a blow between the eyes. After violent struggle the boy was handcuffed.
 O'Brien, who is athletic and plucky, did not give up until he was knocked down half dozen times.
 When both prisoners were securely ironed, the detectives looked around the room. They found complete set oi tools for making the bogus coin, dies, molda, crucibles and gravers. There was lot of metal, prepared and crude, and in the mattress on the bed were hidden more than 100 of the base dollars all ready to pnt into circulation.

BREAKS DR. TANNERS RECORD.

The Professor Has subsisted For Forty
 Five Days Mineral Water and
 Drugs and Now Cannot Eat lie Stuff
 fers From a Malignant Stomach Com
 piaint. Which Induced Him to Fast.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Professor George Sloan, who is living with friends at 44J Wabash avenue, has for 45 days lived on diet of mineral water and drugs. During all that time not particle of nourishment, solid nor liquid, has passed his lips. Once he attempted to drink some weak beef tea, but could not swal- low mouthful. Now, although quietly proud of beating Dr. Tanners famous record of 42 days, he is anxious to eat, but cannot. The professor is GA years old, his advanced age making the case the more remarkable.
 For several years Mir. Sloan has been afflicted with q malignant stomach com plaint and at times the patient would fast for days in order to find relief A month and half ago he decided to again live along for a few days without food of any kind and obtained such sat isfactory results that he continued fast ing until he is now unable to eat or drink anything at all, but mineral water The friends with whom he is living said that their patients mind seemed just as bright as ever, but they do not entertain the same hopeful view of the result as his wife does, and told her that they believed he could not live much longer. One of the most curious features of the case IS that Mir. Sloan has not become emaciated by lack of food. He is nearly six feet tall and a heavy built man and maintains plenty of flesh on his face and body. A bright flush over each cheek bone is the only appreciable symptom of distress.
 MT. Sloan was for years a newspaper and magazine writer and eminently a scholar, being not only yersed in the classic language, bst fluent in a number

DAVID SWING DEAD.
Tho IIlustrious Presbyterian Preacher as Victim of Jaundice and Blood Poison.

 Tho IIlustrious Presbyterian Preacher v Victim of Jaundire and Blood Poison.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Professor David Swing died at II Wednesday night of acute blood poisoning, brought on by an attack of jaundice. Late in the af- ternoon tho physicians announced that blood poisoning had set in and that the professors death could only be matter of few hours. Every possible restora- tive was applied in vain and at 10 min utes after II o'clock Professor Swing was dead.
 Professor Swing was born in Cincin- natl, O.. Aug. 23, 1880. In 1866 he ac- cepted the pastorate of the Westminster Presbyterian church of this city, which was later united with the North Presby- terian church, the two forming the Fourth Presbyterian church, one of the wealthiest and most influential institu- tions of its kind in Chicago. Shortly after the great Chicago fire of 1871 the most important event in tho great mans career took place. his trial before the Chicago presbytery on charge of heresy preferred by tho Rev. Dr. Francis l.. Patton, now professor of Princeton college. These charges, of which there were g specifications of lapses from Presbyterian doctrine, were not sus- tained, there being 61 members in the presbytery and only 13 votes against

COINAGE OF SILVER BULLION SILVER DOLLARS BEING TURNED OUT
 FROM THE SEIGNloRAGE.
The Action Of Mir. Carlisle Means the Re- tirement of Troublesome Coin Notes
 A Million in Two Months.

A special to the New York Evening Post from Washington, discussing Secretary Garlisle's letter to Repre- sentative John T Heard, of Missouri, in which he told Mir. Heard that he was coining silver dollars from the bullion purchased under the sher- man act, says:
 Tt now appears that Secretary CarIisle's course has been Il shrcwd one from Il political point of view While lle has coined more silver bul- lion purchased under the act of 1890, to nlacate Che hesilverme in the South and West, he has at the same time done what neither Secretary Foster nor Secretary Windom did, canceIcd the Treasury notes of 1890 when re- deemed in silver, and thus reduced the outstanding notes for which pay ment in gold might be asked, The amount of 1890 notes absolutely can celed since Secretary Carlisle took the Treasury portfolio is $4 06S, ,0O0 These Treasury notes cannot be re- issued on presentation of these silver dollars paid out, and if paper is issu- ed hereafter by the dollars itmust be in the form ofsilver certificates. This move is not intended to please the believers in gold standard as much as the actual coinage of the silver bullion into silver dollars is to be an evidence of Democratic sympathy with the silver men. In course of time. if the process is continued, the result will be the entire elimination of the Treasury notes of 1890, pay able in coin from our currency and the substitution therefor of silver or silver certificates.
 "Treasury officials are very dis erect in making comments on the Seeretary's course. Secretary Car lisle said that some people in New York would not like to have silver dollars coined out of the bull lion bought under the act of 1890. When asked whether it was the pol icy of the Treasury to cancel the en- tire issue of Treasury notes of 1870 in this way the Secretary said he would not discuss matter of Treasury policy, although if was evident that if the notes were cancelled in this way the whole issue would ultimate ly be extinguished The law author ized the coinage of the silver bullion purchased as might be necessary to redeem the. Treasury notes issued therefor, and in his opinion it was q wise thing to retire the 1890 notes, which were a source of dangerto the gold reserve.
 s'The total amount of the silver bullion purchased under the act oi 1890 coined into standard dollars to July l, 1891, when the period of obli- gatory coinage under the act came to an end, has been $9, ,966, 46S, and oi this SLIT 1000 only has been coined since Mir. Carlisle became Secretary Of this, however, all was coined in the last two months-S423 ,00O in Ju- ly and $749, 900 in August

Hess, the land agent, had told him he was
ready to act, but the borough authorities
were too slow in giving him proper
grade. The officer was instructed to take
the matter before Council.
