The line was crossed In front Of the Dolphin
on the homeward rum at / .5s o'clock. The
big cruisers machinery throbbed, and all on
boRrd knew that she was speeding as no YES
sci had ever before done. When the Nesu-
yius was Eassed little figuring showed that
the speed had been rs. 20 knots. 1t was the
best record shown.
The next leg was covered in 22. 40 knots. as
against 2l 09 knots on the first attempt. This
was an Improvement and the next stretch
showed continued gain In "a 40 knots as
against "A 20 ON the first half Of the run.
The prospects for a new record looked
bright but were dimmed temporarily by the
report that the speed between the Atlanta
and the Fortune was only 81 so. as against
- O9 on the first trip. But the engines began
to throb with renewed yigor, and the re-
naming legs Of the course were covered In

ing the elapsed time for the homeward trip
only III. 5]m. 42s.s and the average 81 eed
. 20 knot-. or an average Of % 0j knots for
the whole course.
Wild cheers followed the announcement OF
the new world record, and the hoisting OF

pie on the yachts and steamers swarming
around the finish line that the Minneapolis
was the tiectish ship In the world.

humble way for Mr.. Harrison's election, and
the expectation that he would be rewarded
with Office grew in his mind until he fHncied
that the mayor had promised him a position
In the city government.
His failure to receive an office was looked
on in his Imagination as II result OF breach
OF faith on the part OF Mayor Harrison, aud
this disappointment led to the assassination.
Prendergast was promptly arrested. and
after trial was found guilty of murder. with
punishment fix d at death. There was an
appeal and a protracted legal fight. which
finally resulted after delays and respites, in
the question Of his sanity being brought be-
fore a jury.
July the jury returned a verdict declaring
Prendergast mot insane or lunatic." His
attorneys tried to find a loopho!e for the es-
cope Of their client by alleging that Juror
Stelnke who hanged himself, was insane at
the time Of Prendergast's trial. The applica-
tion for habeas corpus was transferred to the
United States courts, and Mr.. Darrow went
to Springfield to ask Governor Altgeld for a
Communication of sentence.
Prendergast received the news that there
was nothing more to look forward to but
death with almost Indifference, and relapsed
into his usual silent mood except to reiter-
ate that he had not committed murder with
malice afcrethought and would die an inno-
cent man.

HAND AND VOICE SHOOK.
Aliens Nerve Equal to a Denial OF
MaItby Hotel Scandal.

Senator Allen of Nebraska, with his hand
trembling and his voice shaking from the ef.
fects of his weeks exciting experience, rose
In the senate and entered denial of the re-
port that he had assaulted barkeeper In a
saloon near the Capitol and had gone to Sena-
tor Hawley's room at the Maltby for the pur-
pose OF thrashing the redoubtable Connecti-
cut statesman. His denial was not couched
In the vehement language which usually ac-
companies such performances in the senate
and re did not indulge in the lurid rhetoric
adopted by Senator Call u few days ago, but
he did take occasion to declare that the dis
seminators OF such reports ought to be severe
ly dealt with.
The trouble with Aliens denial, as with
that OF Senator Call is that In each case 1t is
a denial Of the truth. Both statesmen were
guilty Of the offenses charged against them,
and they know t. and they know that every
body in Washington knows 1t, but for home
consumption they persist in trying to dis
credit those who accurately described their
performances.

TWO GIRLS DROWNED.
Brother of One Tries to Rescue Then
and Narrowly Escapes.

Rosa Berger, the lS-year-old daughter OF
Frederick Berger; Anna Priest, the l5-year.
old daughter OF Daniel b. Priest; a young
woman friend OF both girls, and Miss Priests
brother George, OF Glassboro, were strolling
along the bank OF Whitneys pond, vineland,
N. j., when one OF the party proposed bath.
The rest assented, and, after procuring suits
at bathhouse, all entered the water.
Suddenly Miss Priest and Miss Berger
more venturesome than their companions got
beyond their depth, and In another instan.
both began to scream for assistance.
George Priest Immediately struck out for
the sinking girls, reaching them, and, grasp
ing each by the hair, attempted to swim with
them to the bank. They, however, seized
him by the neck and pulled him beneath the
surface Of the water. 1t was only after
terrific struggle that he broke from them and
reached .he shore. He tainted from ex-
haustion upon gaining the land.
The bodies OF the girls were recovered an
hour later.
