DENVER. Co1o., May 4.-The Chamber
of Commerce relief work in aid OF Cripple
Creek was closed to-day after the commit
tee had returned from the camp and made
their report. The great need remaining
to be filled is for tents. blankets and bed
ding, all of which will be supplied out of
funds awaiting orders from the Cripple
Creek local committee. All sections of the
State have responded promptly to the re-
lief OF the camp, and several tenders of
money from Eastern cities were declined,
The exodus of unemployed and homeless
from the camp still continues, and vet
more men remain in camp than can find
work of any kind to do. Many have con-
tracted pneumonia from exposure on the
night following the fire, and the relief
work will be extended some weeks to meet
all such cases.
Building operations will be slow for sew
eral weeks as the town authorities are
firm in refusing to permit the construction
of wooden buildings, and the supply of
brick in the State is just now limited. The
ore production of the camp is slowly in
creasing over that of the first quarter of
the present year.

pounded with clubs and chairs, took place
this afternoon at 164 Custom-h house place.

to vacate her house as her lease had ex.

afternoon, when an effort was made to put
her furniture on the streets, she resisted,
sending to neighboring saloon for a half
dozen men to help her fight. When the
men came there was desperate struggle
and. revolyers were freely used. Nick
Bauer was shot in the side of the head and
badly battered with a hatchet. His in

fatal. A man named Hetailie was shot in
the leg and amputation will probably fol-

bruised to some extent. Eight men are
under arrest charged with riot The Har-

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 4.-The Ma
tional Electrical Exposition was formally
opened tonight in the Grand Central
Palace. There were delegates present
from over $1,000 electric-light plants in the
United States.
Governor Morton arrived at the Grand
Central Palace at S:15 o'clock and was
escorted to the dais on the third floor,
which had been reserved for the guests
and speakers of the evening. The intro
ductory speech was made by G. II. Viii
merding, president of the National
Electric Light Association. Mr.. Will
merding introduced Mayor Worster of
Brooklyn as chairman of the meeting.
AT the conclusion of a few remarks the
chairman introduced ex-senator and Com
modore Perry Vedder, who made an ad-
dress on 1.-THE Electric Era
Governor Morton was next introduced
to the meeting. He was received with the
greatest enthusiasm.
'Mr. President and officials of the Ma
tional Electric Exposition he said. "I
feel honored by the invitation which you
have extended to me to release the electric
current generated by the power of the
great cataract at Niagara, and in accord
ance with your wishes 1 now declare the
exposition duly opened"
Governor Morton then pressed the
golden key which was to cause artillery
saluIes simultaneously at San Francisco,
New Orleans, st. Paul and Augusta, Me.
There was great enthusiasm when Gov
| ernor Morton pressed the golden key. A
few moments afterward messages were
received from San Francisco, New Orleans,
st. Paul and Augusta, Me-, stating that
the cannon had been fired.
Perhaps the most interesting feature OF
the exposition was the demonstration OF
the power generated by the Niagara Falls.
The current turned model of the power
plant in the building. and by putting re-
ceiver to the ear the visitors were able to
distinctly hear the roar of the great catar-
act 462 miles away.

Ass Extraordinary Race to Be Run Along
a RaiIroad.
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 4.-One of the
most extraordinary races on record is
scheduled for the 5th of next month. On
that date six athletic cyclists, headed by
Dan Cabanne of ST. Louis, riding on a
sextupIet, will ehdeavor to beat the EN-
pire State express, which is the fastest
railway train in the world. The race is to
be over one mile at point where the
huge flying locomotive may safely crowd
on its greatest speed.
In order to test the claims of the makers
of the sextuplet, fve-mile track is to be
laid at the side of the New York Central
Railroad near Poughkeepsie, and here the
test will be made. 1t is necessary that the
track should be five miles in length, as the
full speed OF the sextuplet cannot be at
tanned in less than two miles, and it takes
two more to come to a stop, so that the
SIX riders may alight safely. The race
will, therefore be over the third or center
mile of the track.
Chauncey M. Depew is greatly interested
in the race. 81 doubt if the riders can beat
our train" he said. ''If they do they will
have to cover the mile in less than AZ
seconds. Every facility will be afforded
them. The track to be laid, understand.
easy to understan that such a speed as
they expect to make would cause the
smallest inequality to upset the machine.
and the consequences would be DISASTROUS
The men selected to ride will all be
trained athletes and cyclists. The average
weight of each will not be less than 10 or
1S0 pounds,
