80 years of age. He was ranchman by
occupation and lived for years insthe Big
Horn basin.
Elliott is a six-footer, with black hair
and mustache, and also about 30 years OF
age. He joined the show during its
travels about three months ago, and not
much is known of his life. The inscrip-
tion bn the watch which he left with Mr..
Butler gave his name and his home at
some town in Ohio which Mr.. Butler has
forgotten.
Coroner Burkett, who Immediately re-
moved the body to the Morgue, will hold
the inquest tomorrow. Drs. Blythin and
Towne have made the post-mortem exami-
nation. Mr.. Burkett has notified Hudson
PLIERS brother, but has received no reply.
Detectives are now working on the case
with q good chance of soon appre-
hendlng Elliott owing to the blundering
manner in which the murder was con-
cealed or rather not concealed, and as he
has appeared to have blazed his path his
capture is certain.

cided there was no danger of violence and
the negroes were sitting around ar old
smokehouse when a mob of fifty men
swooped down upon them and began
firing. Some of the negroes ran into the
woods and others sought refuge in the
house with the foreman. The mob then
started to burn the house, but the fore
man sued for peace and the negroes were
given twenty-five minutes in which to
leave. The seriously wounded are:
Smith Torlan, Mitch Clark, John Boyd

The Bohemian Athletic Club, whose
arena is located on Amsterdam avenue,
was recently organized with a view of
catering to wealthy men of sporting pro-
clivities, who would not be seen at the
usual boxing shows about town. The
seating capacity of the club is limited to
300 persons, each person paying from $40
TO $50 to witness bouts pulled off in its
arena. Lavigne and Everhardt recently
fought before this club to select crowd,
and the affair was considered very sue
cessful one by the managers, fighters and
patrons of the club.

Star Pointer Defeats Joe Patchen Fifh-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 17.-The
attendance at the Belmont Park to-day to
see the race between the PAGERS Star
Pointer (2:051z) and Joe Patchen (2:o3A)
was not as large as the attraction an
nounced warranted. Star Pointer won in
straight heats without turning hair. In
each heat he reached the quarter and half
in exactly the same time-:30< and :O1-
rather remarkable coincidence. The
first heat was taken by an open length,
the second by three and the third by i've
lengths. In the final heat Patchen broke
twice.
Following is the time by quarters of the
thIee heats between Starpofnter and Joe
Patchen: First heat-:30k, 1:01, 1888,
2:041z; second eat-:301I. 1:01, 1882,
2:O513; third heat-:30Lz, :01, 1882, 2:O6.
Mignon and SAiadin were driven two
heats. the former winning in 2:l6% and
2:1213, when the latter injured himself
and was withdrawn. Mignon was then
sent against her record of 2:10L and the
time was 1904. A dozen watches, how
ever. caught the time at 2:0S1z. Her time
for the hrst quarter was announced at 81
seconds, only half second slower than
Star Pointer. The time for the fractions
that followed were not announced.

RECEIVERS are DISCHARGED.
But 1t Is only Formal Step in the
Complicated Proceedings in the
Northern Pacific TQngie.


MILWAUKEE,, WIS. Nov. 17.-In the
United States Court here to-day Judge
Jenkins entered an order discharging
Frank G. Bigelow and Edwin H. Nc
Henry as receivers for the Northern Pa
cific in the consolidated action. The
order, however, does not determine the
receivershlp against the company or the
offices of Messrs. Bigelow and McHenry
as receivers, there being nothing in the
order which affects the receivership and
the appointments of the receivers under
the supplemental bills of complaint fled
last May. The receivers are required to
furnish new bonds of $4,000 each Yithin
ten days.
Judge Jenkins has referred to Special
Master Carey the matter of making an
account of the property which the re-
celvers have in charge and to report to
the court the names and residences of the
company's creditors. The order entered
to-day does not remove the property from
the jurisdiction of the court The court
reserves the right to at any time retake
and resell the property for the purpose of
satisfying any indie btedness or liability of
the receivership. The order makes no
mention of the compensation which the
discharged receivers are to receive.

OF the District Court here, heard the mo-
tion MED before him by Attorney Keeler

following grounds:
First-Neither the court nor the county at

pursuance OF q collusive agreement and work.
Ing between the Santa Fe and one A. A. God.
dard, assistant to the Attorney General of the
State of Kansas, for the purpose OF getting this
document removed out OF this court and for
the purpose of defeating the State in its effort
to enforce the laws.

was instigated by the Santa Fe attorneys

Judge Myers stated that he would proba-
bly, do this at a special session Of the court.

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 17.-Thomas A

doubt the story from San Francisco re-
garding young Bacigalupi, the blind boy,
who claims that the cathode ray enables
him to distinguish objects.
"Such a thing is possible" Edison said.
"Why, l recently learned by accident
that though the X rays are invisible with
out the use of fiuoroscope, by putting
my hand over my eye could plainly dis.
Germ anything behind it. In the light of
my discovery l can see that mistake was
made in the San Francisco experiment.
The boy should have looked directly at
