Zimmerman Loses His Pedal-Wheeler
and Verheyen in Dead Heat.
New York, Nov. 28.-The second day of
the great international bicycle tournament
at Madison Square Garden brought bet
ter racing and fewer accidents than the
first. The attendance was large and the ex-
citement was sustained throughout
By all odds the finest race of the day was
the mile professional event, in which
Verheyen, the German champion, over
came Harry Wheeler's long lead on the
last two laps and tied him at the pole
amid wild excitement both riding under
the worlds indoor record. Verheyen is
the prettiest rider in the tournament and
has established himself as a popular fa-
vorite.
The professional ten-mile event brought
together Zimmerman, Wheeler, Verheyen.
Edwards, Berloa and Martin. 1t was a race
for any one till Zimmerman lost his pedal
and dropped out. Martin seeing this sprang
away and won in a rush, followed by
Wheeler and Verheyen.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 2S.-The ac-

trouble in this city next Saturday at the
Inauguration of Col. Oates as governor,

dation in fact. No body of Kolbtes is
marching on this city, and when any such
body does move their progress will be
stopped in short order. The authorities
are ready to put down disorders of any
kind at short notice.
When Kolb issued his proclamation call
ing on his followers to meet here and see
that he was seated as governor the au-
thorities, as a precautionary measure, is
sued orders for all the armories to be pro-
tected from depredations of any sort, or
from any source, and small details have
been made each night for that purpose.
There is no excitement at any place in
the state, for every citizen knows that
when Gov. Jones said: by the grace of
God I will see that Col. Oates is inaugu-
rated as governor" he meant what he
said and would carry out his intentions,
and was prepared for any emergency.

The Bank Brings Suit to Recover Prop
erty Owned by Baker.
New York Nov. 28.-There was no news
of Seeley the missing bookkeeper of the
National Shoe and Leather Bank, this
morning.
President Crane said that there were no
fresh developments in the story.
Six suits were brought in the supreme
court this afternoon by the bank to re-
cover property which, it is claimed, was
purchased by Lawyer Baker with money
alleged to have been wrongfully obtained
by him from the bank, in collusion with
the bookkeeper The complaints are almost
identical, and set up almost subs tantially
the same facts. 1t is charged that pre-
vious to Jan. 1, 1891 Baker became in
debted to the bank in the sum of at least
$4,000 for moneys received by him be-
longing to the bank, over and above all
credits and set-offs which he was entl-
tied to, which he got in collusion with
Bookkeeper Samuel c. Seeley and fraud
ulently appropriated to his own use. The
complaints state that Baker died insovent
and that he made transfers of various
pieces of his property for the purpose of
defrauding his creditors.

A HOUSE OF ILL FAME AFLAME.
Three of the Inmates Injured in Jump

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Between 10 and II
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
one of the disreputable houses on Thir-
teenth street, on the south side of Penn
sylvania avenue, which occasioned con
siderable excitement, and probable loss of
life. The flames originated in the 1. of the
building, and quickly communicated with
the front part where all the inmates
were sound asleep. The women became
panic-stricken at once. There was not one
who could not with safety have reached
the ground by the stairs, but the same
thought apparently came to ALL and all
jumped from the windows Three were
more or less injured, as follows:
Belle Addison, skull, and collar bone
fractured, and back injured.
Flora Preston, or Smith, back presuma-
bly, broken.
MIME Moore, back injured.
OF these the first is in a decidedly pre-
carious condition, and will probably die
The second is seriously hurt, while the
last is but slightly injured.
a movement has recently been COM
menced to suppress houses of this class
in this locality.
