 ing to the clever tricks that he performs on his safety wheel. In Louisville recently he established 0 record for two-thirds of a mile in the backward style of riding by making the distance in 9 minutes 3a 1-5 seconds. Master Richardson is open to ride any man in the world any distance in his own peculiar style, and up to the present time he has remained the undisputed cham. pion.
 At the big race meet in Waltham June IF Richardson created considerable of a sensation by riding half a mile backward in minute 54 2-5 seconds. In his exhibi- tions of this character his back is not only turned toward the track the wheel is fol lowing, but the wheel itself is pedaled backward.
 As trick rider Richardson seems to be master of most of the feats that have made Canary, Kanfmann, Barber and Kilpat- rick so we'll known.

A LINEMAN KILLED.
Mac Howerton Meets His Death by
Catching Hold of A Supposed
Dead Wire.

Mae Howerton, a lineman, very uneX-
pectedly met his death yesterday morn
ing about IL o'clock, while engaged in
removing an old telegraph line running
along Fifth street. One end of the cut
wire was on the ground and deceased
was digging around the telegraph post,
preparatory to taking it up, when the
post leaned over so as to bring the old
line wire in contact with a live wire
which crossed the old one. Not noticing
this, deceased took hold of the wire hang
ing down and 2000 volts passed through
his body. He was about % years old
and had only been employed few days.
His family, living at Gonzales, was no.
tilted and asked as to what disposition
should be made of the remains. Hover
ton had been working on Fifth street
all the morning taking down line which
was dead and was formerly used by the
Houston and Texas Central road. He
had taken down and coiled several blocks
before the fatal accident happened.
The stories as to how he met his death
vary, but it is highly probable that he
voluntarily caught hold of the wire,
which caused his death. One story is
that he stumbled against the hanging
wire, one end of which was on the
ground and the other hanging across the
live wires on the pole. The minute he
touched the wire he dropped dead. The
other theory is that he reached for the
wire with the intention of cutting it so
that he could do some more coiling. A
few bystanderS who happened TO be look
ing at the time saw him catch hold of
the wire with his left hand while he
made a movement with his right, which
contained the nippers, as though he in
tended to cut the wire. Almost instan-
taneously with his catching hold of the
wire he dropped over backwards, stone
dead. He is a comparative stranger in
this city. having been here but short
while. He was living at the st. Charles
hotel at the time of his death, though he
was stopping at the Trinity house form
erly. Last afternoon Messrs. Weed K
Rosengreen received a telegram from his
father in Gonzales instructing them to
prepare the body and ship it at once and
the remains will be sent there today &c.
cordingly.

You can get cured if you want to. This
is the way:
The first thing you want to do is to get

Hartman of Columbus, Ohio, a letter.
Just give the facts, and you will receive

NETUODIsT TRACT SOCIETY.

Chicago. Ill.,. Nov. 1.-THE annlVer-
sary of the Methodist Tract society was
largely attended here tonlght. Among
the sneakers were Rev. c. j. Little, pres
idcnt of the Garrett Biblical institute of
Evanston, Ill.,. Rev. j. l.. Hulburt, cor
responding secretary; Rev. j. NJ. Free
man. assistant corresponding secretary;
Rev. +. l.. Naylor, German assistant
secretary.
Something of breeze was stirred up
by DIR. J. W. Hamilton, one of the secre-
tarics of the society, who in his report
accused the representatives of the Meth
odist Church South of obstructing the
work of the society in behalf of the col
ored race. His criticism was based on
an editorial in an organ of the church
published in Nashville which upheld the
Enching of negroes in the South. The
report produced n sensation; but no ae-
tion was taken in the matter by the meet
ing. The balance of the day was taken
up by routine matters.
