BROKE THE STATE RECORD.
DAMON DUNCAN MAKES A CENTURY
RUN IN 6s4O;25.
An Independence Boy Clips Six MIN
ute. and Two Seconds On Nilsson.
ri Record-Over Blue Springs
and Lexington Pixies.

Damon Duncan broke the state record
for a century run yesterday by six minutes
and two seconds. His time for the hundred
miles was 6:40:25. while the state record is
6:4S:2. Duncan, near the close of the hun
the timekeepers had some doubt as to his
ability to break the record. but his staying
qualities were superb. and the crowd
cheered wildly when the cyclist finished.
The start was made at $40 o'clock yester-
day morning. The course lay over the
Blue Springs and Lexington pixies, a dis
tance Of twenty miles. Duncan seemed
fresh and confident and made remarkably
good time for the first fifty miles. An ac-
cident happened the first run out. A farm
er, who knew nothing about century runs
and cared less, got IN the way OF the rider
and his tandem PAGERS, causing q big spill.
Aside from a good shaking up and a
slight abrasion on the hip, Duncan suf-
fered no injury and in a minute was on his
wheel again. The last ten miles was made
in Just half the time of the first ten miles.
Duncan avoided sprinting all through the
run and saved his strength for the last
twenty miles.
The timekeepers were Ellis Wright, Wal
ter Alexander and r. B. Mitchell, members
of the Independence Athletic Association.
Joe Henley claims the century record.
but will be put to sleep by the record made
yesterday by Duncan.
Duncan is IS years Of age and practically
a new rider, laying no claims to profession
al riding. He entered the carnival road
race and won the second time prize. Prior
to this event he won a time prize at Inde-
pendence from the Athletic Association.
The record made yesterday will be sent
to the secretary Of the Century Road Club
at st. Louis. with the proper vouchers as
to time and distance.

SONS OF THE REVOLUTION.
Banquet to be Given at the Midland
Tonight.

Banquet to he Given at the Midland
Tonight.
Henry Cadle, Of Bethany, Mo-, secretary
OF the Missouri State Society Of the Sons of
the Revolution, is at the Midland. He is
here to attend the banquet Of the local
society that will be given at the Midland
this evening, this being the anniversary of
the surrender Of Lord CORVALLIS at York
town. The banquet will be an elegant af-
fair, and a number OF the able speakers of
the local society will deliver responses to
the toasts arranged.
Mr.. Cadle has with him the library of the
state society. in which is roll of all Rev.
olutionary soldiers. This will be on exhibit
ton to the public at the Midland parlors
to-day and Mr. Cadle will be glad to show
it to all who call. Mr.. Cadle Is one of the
best posted men on Revolutionary affairs
in the state and loves to talk Of the work
Of the society.
The ladies who are members Of Elizabeth
Benton chapter Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, will be guests OF the Sons
at the banquet this evening.
Each year the state society offers three
medals, one gold. one silver and one bronze,
to the pupils of the high schools of the
designated patriotic topic. Last year 1t
was on Benjamin Franklin, and the second
medal was won by Ralph Swofford, of this
city.
This year the topic is the character and
public service of Paul Revere. The gold
medal is worth $50. and there is a warm
rivalry for its possession. Mr.. Cadle hopes
to have Kansas City well represented in
the contest.

CHANGES IN CLASSIFICATION.
Important Meeting to Be Held In St.
Louis Next Month.


Important Meeting to Be Held In st.
Louis Next Month.
The western classification committee Will
meet In semi-annual session in st. Louis.
November 20. This meeting is of great i'm
portance to shippers, and they will be rep
resented by their traffic managers, who will
submit applications for numerous changes
in classification. The hardware trade ap-
pears to be united in favor of several
changes Traffic Manager johnson, In be-
half of the Simmons Hardware Company,
of ST. Louis. and others. will present an
application to reduce the rate on cutlery
from first to second class, for the reason
that a great many orders for hardware
include one or two items in the cutlery
line. While it is very hard to estimate the
value of pocket cutlery and razors. the
prices on scissors and table cutlery are not
any higher than great many articles that
are shipped as hardware, n. o. s., and
therefore should not take higher rate
An objection might be raised to reducing
cutlery from first to second class on the
ground that parties would ship large bills
of cutlery exclusively, which would go at
the reduced rate. There would be isolated
cases, Mr.. Johnson says. where party
would ship $50 or 200 pounds of cutlery in
one shipment, but the bulk of it goes out
in small quantities and could be shipped
with hardware to great advantage to the
jobbers AS 1t is now shippers are COM
pelled to use great many small boxes in
packing one or two dozen pocketknives
which might be worth SOC dozen, but
they must go out in separate case, re-
gardless of value.

INJURED SwITCHMAN IN GALVESTON

A heavy damage suit growing out of de-
fective railroad equipment will so to the
jury in the civil district court in Galveston,
Tex. to-day. 1t is that of Switchman
Martin Shea against the Gulf. Colorado &
Sara Fe, the International & Great North
ern and the Houston & Texas Central rail-
roads, for $4,000 damages, and is Of
unusual interest to railroad men. 1t de-
vefoped Saturday that Shea. who was en-
ployed jointly by the Gulf. Colorado &
Santa Fe and the International & Great
Northern, was so badly crushed in the
yards at Galveston while trying to couple
a Houston & Texas Central freight car to
a switch engine that his legs are paralyzed
and he is internally injured, so that he will
be crippled for life.
1t was shown that the Houston & Texas
Central car was examined by the car in
spectors upon its arrival here, and that two
Of the bolts that hold the drawhead were
broken. The car inspectors reported the
car in bad condition. but the switchman
knew nothing about it. and when he tried
to couple it to the engine the drawbar
dropped and he was caught and crushed.
The car had no deadwood or wooden buffer
back of the drawbar, and the drawhead
was only sixteen inches in length, where
most drawheads are about thirty inches
long and are protected with deadwood.
The Santa Fe and the International &
Great Northern seek to throw the burden
in case Shea RECEIVERS judgment upon the
Houston & Texas Central, claiming that
the car was In bad condition when turned
over to them. but the Houston & Texas
Central contends that the car should not

freight cars have short drawbars, and are
not equipped with deadwood buffers. The
case may necessitate q radical change in
its freight equipment.

A STATEMENT OF FACTS.
Union Men Who Say Jay H. Nen I. No
Foe to Union Labor.

Union Men Who Say Jay H. Nen I. No
Foe to Union Labor.
The following letter explains itself. It
was sent to the Kansas City Times, and
refused publication in that paper because
1t was a complete refutation of the charges
that Jay H. Neff. the Republican candidate
for congress. is an enemy to organized la
bor The letter is as follows. and was
printed in the Journal a few weeks ago:
Kansas City. No. Sept. 10. 1896.
To the Editor of the Kansas City Times.
Dear Sir:-In your issue of September IS
appears an article which We think reflects
unmerited discredit upon ourselves, to say
nothing of an injustice to Mr.. j. H. Neff,
publisher of the Daily Drovers' Telegram.
1t reflects discredit upon the union men
who have worked, and are now working,
in the employment of Mr.. Neff. The article
in question says: He (NIr. NefD has been
bitter enemy of union labor for many
years, and would never hire a union man."
We desire to state. Mr.. Editor, If only in
justice to ourselves. that union labor has
been, and is now, employed in the Telegram
ONCE. Each of the undersigned Is mem
ber Of union. as our signatures show.
There has not for ten CO years been other
than union pressmen in the Telegram office,
stereotypers employed.
Furthermore, we know of our own obser-
walton that the Telegram never asked a
printer, when he applied for work, whether
or not he was a union man, and we stand
ready to give the names Of union printers
employed at various times recently. Some
years ago the foreman of the composing
room was a union man. and at one time
since half Of the typesetters were union
men.
The statements are made by ourselves
without the knowledge OF Mr.. Nefr. He
will know nothing of them until they ap-
pear. II so be it they do, in your columns.
Very truly, ]. E. SECREST,

Masnates in Secret Conclave at the
Victoria Hotel, In Chicago,
Yesterday.

Chicago. Oct. 1S.-The Western Baseball
League magnates held a secret meeting at
the Victoria hotel to-day. Charles Com
iskey, manager of the st. Paul club, said
when asked in regard to the proceedings
of the meeting: 1--WE did nothing Of any
importance. We heard the report from the
delegates who were sent to the New York
meeting, and anything Of importance will,
of course. come up at the meeting to be
held November H.
Indianapolis and Minneapolis were not
represented and this caused comment by
those interested in the baseball situation.
The representatives of the clubs present
said it argued nothing. but the inference
is that another outbreak is feared. and that
the remaining clubs of the league are pre-
pairing to strengthen their position as much
as possible The gathering to-day. Comis-
key asserted, was entirely Of social char

C0RBETT OUT In The COLD.
sHARKEY BECOMES WEARY OF
JIMS DILATORY TACTICS.
Likely Now to Take q Flight With
Fitssimmons-NeEot Un-
der Way, With Good Pros
pect for Agreement.

San Francisco, Oct. 1s.-Tom Sharkey, the
sailor pugilist, is at present engaged In
having fun with Jim Corbett- Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett are both after Sharkey.
and the chances at present seem to be in
favor Of "Lanky Bob" When the National
Club. of this city, and Sharkey were en-
deayoring to pin Corbett down to definite
statement a few days ago, several urgent
kilograms were sent to him at New York.
Every time came the answer. Important
letter on the way" The National Club
turned their attention to Fftzsimmons, and
the prospects are that a match will be
made between him and Sharkey. Corbett
must have learned how things were going,
for last night he wired Sharkey's manager
from New York as follows: Club here
offers 81, 200 for ten rounds. January l. De-
posit 5000. Answer"
Here was Sharkey's chance to get even
and he promptly wired Corbett: Important
letter on way"
The proposal made to FitZsimmons by
the National Club was that he engage IN
q ten-round contest with Sharkey In this
CITY some time in December for purse OF
10000. This was the reply received from
Martin Julian, Fitzsimmons' manager:
New York, Oct. l6.' ~. j. Groom' pan
Francisco: Will match Fitzsimmons
against Sharkey on the following condi-
tions: Purse of $4,000. winner to take all,
and $1,000 for our training and travelling
expenses; club to deposit 5000 as forfeit
on signing articles. balance to be put up
ten DAYS before the match. MARQUIS of
Oueensbury rules to govern. Either Siler
or Houseman of Chicago, to referee. The
match must take place before December l,
on account of our match with Corbett."
The National Club has complied with Fitz-
simmons demands to the extent OF placing
q GOO in the hands of a local sporting man,
but it firmly declines to allow Fitzsim-
mons more than $500 for expenses.
Sharkey's only objection is to having the
referee selected at this stage OF the pro-
ceedinss. He says it will be time enough
to select that official when the Fftzsim-
mons party arrive here. Julian is holding
out in the matter of the expense money,
but is not so, insistent as regards the ref
cree. 1t is Thought that when he learns
Corbett is setting his cap for Sharkey
again, he will accept the terms proposed.
and that it will be Definitely announced
within a day or two that Sharkey and
Fitzsimmons are matched. In later wire,
Julian favored December or 9 as the date
Of the contest.
