YOUNG LOGAN A JONAH.
Train on. Which He Was a Pas
senger is Wrecked.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-The Chronicle says:
John A. Logan of McCook-Logan feud,
Bit and Spur club and Chicago horse
show fame. was in a railroad wreck on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Forrest
Junction, O.. Thanksgiving morning, and
by the occupants of the Pullman car in
which he rode he is charged with being a
Jonah" and with having been the indi-
rect cause of the catastrophe.
Logan was en- route to the family home
stead at Youngstown O., to spend Thanks
giving with his relatives there. He took
train from Chicago late Wednesday
night and was accompanied by J. T..
Sharpe. In the same car were two of
their close friends, Mrs. A. B. GrayIord
and her daughter, Miss Elsie Graylord,
both prominent in Washington society.
Early Thanksgiving morning the party
arose and breakfasted together in the dim
ing car. Shortly after they returned to
their own compartments Mr.. Logan began
to explain the beauties of the scenery
then passing in review and to expatiate
on the points of interest along. the route.
The ladies were attentive listeners and
were mentally resolving that the son or
the late General Logan was quite a gal
liant, and. in the language of Miss Elsie,
perfectly lovely"
Taking from the young woman, who
was watching him with admiring eyes, a
very pretty military cape of late pattern,
Logan stepped to the rear door of the OBJ
servatfon car and opened it. With a
grandiloquent air and impressive wave of
the hand he addressed the crowd, saying:
Now, ladies and gentlemen, don my
golf coat and will explain to you the
wonders of this beautiful scenery Kindly
give me your attention and 1 assure you
you will be entertained"
The pretty speech was hardly delivered
before there was a crash, jar and the
pet of the Bit and Spur club organizers
and object of the admiration of Chicago's
society set lay sprawling on the floor of
the car and Miss GrayIord's pretty cape
was soiled in the dirt and CRIME. The
train had collided with the rear end of q
freight train and Logan lay Inundated
and forlorn not more than half conscious
of what had happened. He was assisted
to his feet by his friend, Mr.. Sharpe, and
the ladies retired, trying to conceal their
feelings of amusement at the embarrass-
ing situation in which their entertainer
found himself.

results the event must show. Nothing
is more difficult than to forecast the
moods of Wall street. They depend
more on whims, or accidents, or ruts
than upon conditions of fact which
really affect the earning capacity of
properties; a fact of which the present
insensibility of stocks to the large earn
ings of the railroads is striking evil
dence. Two great facts are obvious,
however: that stocks are low at pres
ent prices, and that the general condi-
tions which regulate their value war
rant an upward movement.
To permanent investors, the market
presents probably about as low range
of prices as we are likely to see for
some time. For such to defer purchas-
es, would be to face a probability that,
at later stage, higher prices will have
to be paid. Speculative purchases, if
made on drops, afford a fair chance for
moderate gains on the principle of
small profits and quick returns. Such
operations are better suited tO'the pres
ent position of the market than large
purchases and long holdings.

little doubt that the offer will be fiat
ly refused.
Then there is Harvard. Cornell had
during the two seasons just passed a
dual league with Harvard. The two
have rowed and played base ball to-
gether. Harvard and Cornell are very
friendly, and it is expected that Har-
ward will in turn make overtures for
a race in due season. And just here
comes the perplexing question. If
Columbia and Pennsylvania ask for
their usual race, and Harvard, also,
will the Ithacans accept these two Of
fers and reply to Yale that they can
not undertake the great work of pre-
pairing for three contests?
In the view of Cornell men now in
this city, the logical deduction from all
this is simple and it explains the entire
situation up to date, viz: If anyone
is to be left out, Yale IS that one. In
other words, Yale has the third
chance of securing a contest with the
Cornell champions.

CLAY FOR BLOOD.
Threatens to Kill Wife's Broth
err Unless He Leaves Country.

Valley View Ky, Nov. 29.-Colonel Cas-
sius NJ Clay is on the warpath. He be-
lieves that William Richardson, his wife's
Oldest brother is trying to keep her from
returning to Whitehall. He has offered
Richardson $500 to leave the county and
sent him word that if he did not leave he
would kill him.
Richardson is greatly alarmed over the
generals threats, but says he will not
leave. Richardson is considered danger
Gus man, and those who know him say
that he will kill General Clay if the lat
ter attempts to carry out his threat
The general intimates that Richardson
has assisted in plundering him. One OF
CIay's neighbors built Richardson a little
plank house on his farm and the general
is so incensed at Inn for lending aid to
his enemy that he will not speak to him
and will have nothing to do with his
neighbours relatives.
When Dora heard of the generals
threats against her brother she wrote him
a letter. She is still at her brother Clelis-
She is afraid the general will kill her bro
Their and she will probably persuade him
to leave the county.

DAILY NEWS OF SPORT.
Midget Michael Offers to Race
Amy Two.
Ready to Compete With the
Best Pair of Americans.
On Such a Con test the Welshman is
Ready to Wager $5.oOO-4O ofthe
Fastest Cyclers in the World
to Race at Madison Square
Gardens.
Gardens.

New York, Nov. 29.-Americsn riders
may now pair off and meet Jimmie
Michael. The famous midget rider an
nounces authoritatively that he is willing
to meet any two American riders for Is
or so miles, these riders to be privileged
to change off every mile, every two miles,
or each to ride one-haIf the distance,
Michael to go the entire distance. On
such contest Michael is willing to wager
5000.
The midget is not unaccustOmed to this
kind of proposal, for in a race in France
he took the two best riders of that coun-
try some years ago-Gougoltz. now in this
country, and F. Bunier-each for % kilo-
meters. Michael won the contest by laps
then, and he believes himself capable to
turn the same trick with any two Ameri-
cans Once last summer Michael offered
Starbuck a mile start in an hour race,
but that rider did not deign to notice the
challenge.
Now that Michael has beaten him three
miles on a nine-lap track, Starbuck may
be willing to mate with some other rider
and try to trail the banner of his enemy
in the dust of defeat. The match ar
ranged for Michael on Christmas eve
with Taylore may be with John S. john
son. The latter rider has been matched
10 ride TayIore on Christmas eve, and
the winner of this match will meet
Michael on Christmas night. Taylore is
the champion of France.
1t is also probable that Nat Butler will
be matched to meet the winner of the
contest of Christmas eve on New Years
eve the winner of that contest to go
against Arthur Chase, the champion of
England on New Years night.
Tom Linton, the felIow-townsman of
Michael and former champion of Europe,
may come to this country to engage in
the middle distance game in the spring.
Linton is now in Algiers. AIichaeTs trou-
BILE in England has broken out afresh,
and "Chappie" Warburton is reported to
have said that he will have Michael in
London jail by Christmas time. Michael
had settled the matter, he supposed, but
Warburton has sued a paper for libel for
publishing the charges of Michael and the
midget is wanted as a witness. Michael.
it will be remembered, claimed that War
burton drugged him for an important
race and that Warburton held out money
on him. It is not thought that the lad
can be compelled to go to England. but
Chairman Mott is said to be again investi-
eating charges sent to this country by the
n. c. L. of England, which body is pes
tering Michael owing to that riders hav-
ing sworn allegiance to the stars and
stripes.

LIKED THE TURKEY
But Objected to the Political Sauce
Served With It

Eugene Hagan's turkey, oysters and
Kentucky juice that he kindly ten
dered Albert Patch, of the street rail-
way, touched the right spot in Patch's
palate but the letter accompanying the
gift and referring to the loyalty of the
receiver and the donor to the good old
Sound Money Democratic party did not
touch the right spot in the political be
liefs of said Patch and it somewhat
riled his ideas of the money question
Patch is a native of Maine and is proud
of the fact that he was born in a good
Republican state and that he has al
ways adhered to the Republican faith
He is not, and says he never was or will
be a Democrat.
Patch will undoubtedly be willing to
stow away all such gifts as the leader
of the Sound Money Democratic party
of Kansas is willing to furnish at any
future Thanksgiving, but the reference
to his loyalty to the cause" is not the
proper pepsin to make the digestive or
gans of Patch work in harmony
There are others who would be will
ling to accept such gifts and who would
make no comment on the letter. Com
ment on the turkey would be sufficient
for most people.

Since the beginning of this legisla-

made a motion to disagree with this
report. The motion was tabled. Now
he will offer a bill to legalize bull fights
He says that such a law would be
great commercial benefit TO the state,
and that bulls which now sell for s.

purposes, bring S25, making a clear
gain Of $40 per head.
