on the ground of his old friendship for

IASHED BY THE SHERIFF.
Wife Beater Whipped Under the
Laws of Maryland.

Laws Oh
Centreville, Nd, May 26.-Charles E.
Wilson, colored, was whipped Monday in
Centreville Jail by the sheriff, in fulfill
ment of the sentence Of the circuit court
for Queen Anne county, which condemned
him TO fifteen days in jail and fifteen
lashes for wife-hoating. The whipping
was done 10y Sheriff James L. Wooley-
hand with Cowhide, and while the Off
Ger was as mercifUI as possible, the pun
ishment was such as TO be a warning
against d repetition OF the offense. The
prisoners skin was not broken by the
lasnes of the rawhide.
A physician was present, but his serT-
ices were not needed, and shortly after the
Whipping had been applied the prisoner
was released, the sentence of justice having
been fully satisfied. He had been dreaI-
ing his punishment for several days, but
evinced no feelings OF insuhordination nor
of resentment afterward. The whipping
was done in one of the prison corridors,
within the privacy Of the Jail walls,
This is the first time that this provision
of the law has been carried into effect in
Queen Anne's county since its enactment
M 1892, though il has been enforced N
Cecil county and in Baltimore county.

MIN FRS REJECT TERMS.
Say the Wages Offered by Operators
Mean Starvation.

Louisville, KY, May 26 Last night the
miners OF the Bellioo district We're in secret
session to hear the report of the sixteen
local assemblies on the proposals of the op-
orators. These are o per cent reduction
on day labor, reduction on cutting entry
way from 81. 40 to 81 rs per lineal yard,
reduction of 5 cents a ton on all coal mined,
in addition to free handling of cars and
other work heretofore done by the compa-
nies.
The miners claim that they have been
making a bare living, aud that these terms
would mean starvation, while the operators
say they are losing money and can do no
better. The miners assemblies have voted
to reject the terms, and protracted sus-
pension seems likely, 1000 men being now
idle.

tion, the other riders will not be one, two, three, four, five. I have ridden with the best in America and England, therefore I think 1 am fully qualified to make that statement.
 "'I begin to prepare for the racing season in the spring. My preliminary consists of a tenmile spin about ten o'clock a. m. ride at slow but steady pace; after I have finished 1 get good rub-down and rest quietly for couple of hours, when l enjoy a two-mile walk at an ordinary gait. Coming back to my training quarters, 1 again mount my machine and reel off about 30 miles, going free and easy. This sort of ex- ercise I continue for about a month, until find that my muscles are work ing free and that the stiffness which ap- pears when I begin has entirely disap- peared. Walking, I think, makes the muscles active and makes the wind good. Having followed the schedule mentioned above for month, I then begin to sprint. I ride about five miles in the morning and ten in the after noon. The early part of my ride is con fined tc slow pace, which gradually in- crease, and finish with sprint at top speed. This work I continue for anoth- CT month, when I begin to sprint quar- ters and halves. Having satisfied my self that I am thoroughly fit, that my wind is good and I am willing to wind up with a strong sprint, start for the race meets. After that the work you get in your race will be quite enough to keep you on edge, providing you diet yourself. I eat everything and any thing I like except pastry. never use liquors, but am an inveterate smoker" 7"
 It will be remembered that when Champion Zimmerman was in his prime the eyes of the racing world was turned towards Milwaukee when d young German came forth to battle for supremacy. This youngster was Walter Sanger, formidable athlete, who had defeated all corners within wide ra- dius of his home. A meeting between 1 him and Zimmerman was eagerly
 looked forward to. They met at Denver, and Sanger defeated the customer. The 1 friends of the latter, however, refused
 to accept this as decisive, giving as .
 reason the trying climate of Denver and it's i'll effects upon eastern riders
 and it was decided to wait until the in- ternational meeting at Chicago before
 deciding whetf CT Sanger ssas to bs
