Weston's Effort Failed,

New York, Dec. 2S.-When Edward
Payson Weston, the 5S-year old pedestrian,
at 10 O'Clock Saturday night left the track
on which he had endeavored to equal his
record, 112 miles in twenty-four hours, he
had walked lob miles, 1861 yards. The
old man went to the Office of the skating
rink, in which the track was situated,
threw himself on cot and wept bitterly.
A number of friends gathered around and
sought 20 console him, but Weston re-
fused to be comforted, and reproached
himself for his failure.
Weston undertook the task of equalling
his record of 112 miles in twenty -four
hours, made when he was 33 years old, to
illustrate how regular and temperate
life conserves mans vigor and makes him
strong in his later years.

CONFERENCE OF The POWERS
representative from Great Britain,
France, Italy, Germany and Austria
Have an Audience with Sultan.
TAE SULTAN REMAINED OBDURATE
Abdul Hamid Says He May Be the Last
of the Caliphs, But Will Never Be-
come a Second Khedive-The
Throne in Imminent Peril.

Copyright 1895 by the Associated Press.
! Oonstantinople, Dec. 28.-The Russian
ambassador, Saturday, acting in concert
with representatives from Great Britain
France, Italy, Germany and Austria, had
an audience with the sultan, Abdul Hemid
regarding the better administration OF
affairs in the Turkish empire.
The Russian diplomat began by warn
ing the sultan and Turkish government il
the revenues ceded for the payment OF
the Turkish debt were touched, European
control of the finances of the EN- pire will
become inevitable. M. de Nelidoff, the
Russian ambassador, further informed
the sultan that the ozar guaranteed his
personal safety and engaged himself to
maintain the sultan's supremacy in the
event of severe measures being uecessar y
upon the part of the powers.
The sultan remained obdurate refusing
consent to any measu:e 70 of control, fnan-
cial or otherwise, by the powers. To this
the Russian ambassador replied that the
conditions of the Turkish empire placed
the throne and the csliphate in imminent
peril.
Thereupon Abdul Hemid remarked, i'm
pIoooLVoly' ulhy Uo tuo tdbU VI Jus ChL-
iphs, but I will never become a second
khedive."
In addition to these warnings M. de
Nelidoff sent note to the Turkish gov
ernment and to the palace. Utmost sig
nihcance is attached to it in diplomatic
circles. He pointed out in precise terms
the necessity of the sultan following
the advice of the powers and acting in
complete agreement with their plans for
improving the situation, warning them
once more that the sultan's refusal to do
80 involves most dissgreeable consequen-
ces.
The ambassadors will reassemble in the
future twice week until they complete
their recommendations to the sultan and
his advisers.
These latest steps are reported to have
produced profound impression at
Kiosk and in pursuance of the issuance
of an amnesty decree the Armenian pris-
oners in Asia Minor and this city and vi
cinity are being released daily in patches
of fifteen.

The S0pris killing.

Trinidad, Colo, Dec. 28,-Coroner Sipe
Saturday held an inquest on the body of
Gertruditas Duran, the woman shot at
Sopris Thursday night, and developed a
strong case against Manuel Gallegos.
1t seems that the scene of his crime had
an irresistible fascination for the mur-
derer and forced him to follow Coroner
Sipe and others into the room where the
dead woman lay. 1t was while he was
standing gazing at the corpse of his vic
tim that the coroner ordered him taken
into custody.
Gallegos claims that he did not do the
killing and that no one who knows him
will believe in his guilt.

American middleveight, defeated Billy
Doherty, the Australian, this evening in
nine rounds for the middleweight cham
pionship of the world. The fight was to
be twenty rounds for $4,000 a side and
a division of the gate receipts. Doherty,
who recently defeated Duggan for the

getting a scratch, was completely out
cassed by Mccoy in cleverness. The

FIENDS INCARNATE.
They Remove p Fail from Trestle,
Causing Twenty five Deaths,
AfterWard RObbing the Dead
and wounded.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 2s.-Fiends
wrecked the Birmingham Mineral pas
senger train at Cahaba river bridge,
twenty-seven miles from here, yesterday,
and twenty one lives were lost. The
wreck is regarded as almost certainly
accomplished by the removal of rail on
the trestle. This deraied the train which
caused it to fall into the river, ITO feet
below. Survivors are so few and so bad
ly hurt that they are unable to give any
detailed description of how it happened
Most of the passengers were residents of
mining towns, who we're returning to
their homes after short excursions. All
five train men were killed. One survivor
says three men went through the wreck
robbing the dead and wounded and then
fed to the woods.
Conflicting statements are current as
to the number of dead bodies taken from
the debris. The official list furnished at
the Office of the Louisville q Nashville
railroad shows only twenty. one deaths
and eleven injured, of whom at least two
will die. 1t is claimed by some who wit
messed the clearing of the debris yester-
day, including several physicians, that
twenty-eight bodies we're taken out.
INCREASED TO TWENTY-FIVE.
Birmingham, Ala.-The list of dead
from yesterdays bridge disaster, at Caha-
ba river, on the Birmingham Mineral
road, has increased to twenty-five by
deaths to-day.

1t is stated that Kansas City, Cerrillos
and Santa Fe parties, in nowise associated
with the Balue enterprise, have taken up
the smelter project for Cerrillos and are
arranging to supply the Little Pittsburg
with this much needed institution at an
early day. Mining men generally agree
that Cerrillos is to-day the most inviting
field in the west for smelter, and there ia
every good business reason for believing
that the opportunity for profitable in
vestment in this line will not much
longer remain open.

It is astonishing

how many people who go east
over the Burlington return
the same way.
1t is even more astonishing
how many people who go east
over other lines return via
the Burlington.
Undoubtedly the reason is
that the Burlington pays so
much more attention to maxi
ing its patrons comfortable.
One thing sure Is that 1t has a
shorter and better track than
any other railroad between
Denver and Omaha or be-
