Camden. N. j., Oct 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the murder of Mrs. Emma

Shaw, at tbes- home remains unsolved.
The police authorities together with two
Philadelphia detectives, were busily en-
gagged in following up various clews.
Two men were arrested in the adjoin-
Ing town of Stockton on suspicion or
completely in the murder. This sus-
picion was based on the fact that they
handed a revolver TO a saloon-keeper
with the request that he should keep
II for them for few days. They were
intoxicated when arrested. They gave
their names as Dooney and Geesey, and
an alibi for their movements on the night
of the murder was established soon after
they had been placed in custody. They
will be released today.
The authorities have modified to q
great extent the suspicious they at first
entertained against Eli Shaw, the son
and grandson of the murdered women.

A Queer Ostrich Egg Story.

An ostrich egg with romantic his

Marie Lopez of south 4oth St. The
egg was presented to Miss Lopez by
Joseph Pulsiver, to whom it was sent
by his brother, who is superintendent
of an ostrich farm in South Africa.
Accompanying the egg was the follow
ing letter from the sender: 81 send
the ostrich egg, and knowing your
longing for peculiar curiositles will re-
ceive a boom when you learn its his
tory. We had a man on the farm
named Carr, who was noted tor his
skill in breeding and raising ostriches.
He had raised the mother of the egg

greatest pets. This was thought
strange, as she was known to be a
savage bird, and would allow no one
but Carr to go near her. Breeding

watching over setting of eggs. Our
farm matches artlhcally, the eggs being
removed from the mother and placed
in an incubator. Carr was the one
selected to secure the eggs on accoun,

He entered the pen and began picking
up the eggs. In an instant the

Kentucky Saddle Horses,

Kentuckians have bred saddle
horses for beauty and charm and have
got them. There is charm about
the Kentucky horses that no other
American horse has. No other ami
mails l have met in the country exist
in the memory with quite the fascina-
ton of certain horses l have seen in
Kentucky. There was, for instance, a
few miles from Lexington, a roam
gelding that had this fascination to a
high degree. He had the graceful
Kentucky character and yet with Il
difference. His beauty appeared par
ticularly in the shape Of the rump and
in the carriage of the tail.
There was an exquisite trick in the
conformation ofthe quarters. "Charm-
ing and very Kentucky" you said as
you looked at them, and yet you felt
you had never seen quite that before.
1t was perhaps bold flight nearer the
Kentucky ideal than you had seen.
This quality OF the figure was certainly
due to an infusion of the Denmark
grace. The tail was the other chief
beauty. There was an airy grace In
the carriage Of it which reminded you
of the fortunate work of some archl
tect of genius. "What have you done
to him ?" l said, referring to the
graceful lightness with which the tai
was held. "Nothing," said the farmer

BIKES IN ARMY SERVICE.
Germany's Minister Of War Reports on the
Wheels Uses.

The German military papers have
just published the report of the Minis
ter Of War regarding the results of
the introduction of bicycles into the
army and the training Of bicycle
corps during the year 1896. A large
number of experimental runs were
made and the bicycles were also en-
ployed in maneuvers to advantage.
The average Of the runs was about
fifty five miles, with an average speed
of nine and one half miles per hour,
including stops. The greatest speed
obtained was twelve miles per hour in
run of thirty miles. The greatest
distance covered in any one run was
one hundred and thirty miles, but the
speed did not exceed eight miles an
hour, including stops. The soldiers
attached to the bicycle service were
given practical training on the wheel,
but also received instruction in recon.
noitering, reading of the map, etc,
Not long ago Lieutenant Won Putt
hammer tried to dispatch message
by relay bicyclists going and coming
a distance OF twenty-eight miles. He
had placed four relays of three bicy-
clists each at points six miles apar,
and three dispatches were taken each
way, the cyclists speed exceeding
thirteen miles per hour. 1t is estimat-
ed by the Minister Of War that aftel
forty days training company mount
ed on bicycles should be able tc
cover one hundred and twenty miles
day with full arms and equipment
The present weight of the militar,
bicycle, which is of the folding type
is thirty-two pounds, but the new
type, of which a large number ha
been ordered, will weigh six pounds
less. The principal economy will b'
found in the abandonment Of char
gearing and the substitution of cog
wheel driving gear.
