A LARGE SABBATH SCHOOL.
The Attendance at the First Pres
byterian Yesterday VI as aS1

Rev. r. +. Campbell, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, announced to
his congregation some weeks ago that
there would be a teaching service held in
the church Sunday afternoons at 3
o'clock. 1t was his intention, he sad,
to have the Sabbath school at that hour
that the grown people might more con-
venicntlv come with the children, and
enter Bible classes.
The carrying out of this plan has met
with great success. The attendance at
the Sabbath school has increased every
Sunday. A week ago yesterday there
were 1S2 persons present. Yesterday
in spite of the threatening weather there
were 236 persons, including teachers
and scholars. Mr.. Campbell teaches a
large and enthusiastic Bible class, and
there arc other Bible classes well at.

SPRISGFIELD. Sept, o.-More bicycle records

successful attempt at the One-mile figures with
a flying start, doing :52 3-5. This is the fast

faster mile being Dirnberger's ISL, paced by a

reason success was not looked for. The new
figures are a nth second lower than the tandem

apolls on Aug 10.
Bliss came out at O'CLOCK and after going

pretty plck-ups were made. Lumsden and

ROBERTS MANDAMUSED.
The Dispute Between the state Comptroller
and the Secretnry of Stnte.

ALBANY. Sept. 6.-Secretary OF State Palmer's
threat to mandamus Comptroller Roberts has
amounted to more than idle words. Mandamus
papers were drawn up and writ OF alternative
mandamus was granted this afternoon by Judge
Herrick at his chambers directing the Comp
troller to show cause why he should not pay the
salary OF Ewell. veteran. whom Secretary
Palmer, on June IL. appointed to clerkship in
his office. Comptroller Roberts contendcd that
Ewell must file his honorable discharge with the
Civil Service Commission, and that body must
certify that he was a veteran before he could
get his salary. The Secretary OF State protest.
ed. and said that his word was sufficient and
that he wouldn't allow his appolntee to file his
honorable discharge. The Attorney q erals
opinion WAS asked, and he favored the position
Of Secretary Palmer. In spite OF this opinion
gan, still refused to pay the salary OF Ewell
until ordered to do so by the courts.
Secretary Palmer said to-day: 90 have waited
until patience ceased to be virtue I want to
do what is right, hut cannot com prl this veteran
to present credentials OF honorable discharge To
the Civil Service Commission when the law
states that his appointment has nothing 20 do
with the civil service. This morning | sent Mr..
Ewell over to the Comptrollcrs Office with a bill
for his salary. Attached 70 II was the seal OF
the Secretary OF State, to the effect that IL was
all right. Payment was again refused. Then |
put the matter in the hands Of my attorneys."
II is claimed here by the Roberts men that the
mandamus proceedings were instituted at this
late date at the instlgation of Thomas G. Platt.
The Secretary Is n friend of Mr.. Platt's, while
the Comptroller Is n vigorous opponent. IL is
thought that Mr.. RObertss attempt to get tho
Albany delegates To the state Convention is the
reason the action Is brought. Mr.. Palmer wants
the delegates, too. The Republican situation in
this county continues To grow more interesting

A Patient from Cory, Pn.. Supposed -
Have Committed Suicide.

n fhtient from CORY, fn.. supposed -
Have Committed Suicide.
A supposed case OF suicide occurred at the
Post Graduate Hospital, Twentieth street and
Second avenue, yesterday morning. Herota A.
Dart, 81 years old, patient there, shot himself
In the right side OF the head shortly after IL
o'clock. He died five hours later. Mr.. Dart,
who lived in Cory, Pa, was admitted to the
hospital two weeks ago to be treated for an ag-
gravated case OF throat trouble. He occupied =
bed in one OF the wards, but was able to be about
most OF the time.
Yesterday morning he walked across the ward
to small room where the patients are in the
habit of keeping their clothes. Another patient
named Logan heard him fumbling about, and
asked If he needed any assistance. NO." re-
piled Dart. pleasantly; "rm Just looking for
something" Then he slammed the door from
the inside. Half q minute later the occupants
of the ward heard pistol shot. When the
orderly opened the door of the clothes room he
found Mr. Dart lying In the corner breathing
heavily. There WAS bullet wound directly
over his right ear. Near him lay n revolver and
his valise, which was open. The wounded man
remained unconscious until ~ o'clock, when
he died.
No one was able To explain why Mr.. Dart
should have shot himself. Superintendent Far
rell OF the hospital said that tho shooting might
have been accidental. The fact that Mr.. Dart
closed the door behind him and the condition OF
the wound leads to the theory OF suicide It was
said at the hospital that Mr. Dart was q widow
er and that he had formerly been q clerk.

a better twenty-round mill has never taken

won in u walk. as he walked around the Aus
tralisn like a COOPER around a barrel and
planted his gloves whenever and wherever he
willed His work was done principally with his
right after the third round. as he sustained
rather painful injury 10 his left arm above the
wrist at the same place where il had been

up the gamest hght witnessed here in years
however. and was ALWAYS ready for a mix. lie
was by no means whipped men at the end OF
the contest, aud was good for another fivo
rounds before the incessant Jabbing by Demp-
sey would have put him out.
