New York, Sept 27.-Cyc,e racing In
this vicinity was wound UP for tho
season yesterday afternoon ut Man.
haitian Beach with Il rattling internu
tionnl match race of 81 miles between
Jimmy Michael, the Welsh champion,
and Luclcn Lesna. the Swiss rider,
who holds the French middle.dlstance
record. The attendance was 14,OOO.
There were Il number Of races OF minor
importance.
Michael had for pacemakers, four
Quads, one quint and two seNtuplets.
and Lcsna had five OF the largest ma
chimes and one quad. The Welshman
had the advantage Of having the best
pacemaking machines, and decidedly
the best paccmakC-s. Lesna's seXtu-
plcts seemed to be too unwieldly for
fnst pacing, MS the result shows. When
the contestants lined up the little
Welshman looked Il pigmy In compari-
son with his Swiss opponent, but each
Of them wHs trained 10 the hour and
both looked fit to race for IL mans life.
At the crack OF the pistol Michael
jumped on In the lead and got the
pole. right behind his qulnt. which. af-
ter the first lap retired In favor OF n
quad. From start to finish the race
was n processison, rs Michael led all
the way. At the end OF the first mile
the "Welsh Rarcbit" was 10 yards
ahead. and he steadily Increased his
lead throughout the race. Lesna seemed
to lose his pacemnkers frequently,
while Michael had no trouble in fol-
lowing his. Both riders strained every
muscle to gain an advantage, and al
though 1t was a fOregone conclusion
early in the race that Michael would
win. barring accidents, Lcsna never let
up. and stuck manfully TO his task.
At the end of the hour Michael had
covered 81 miles and ! 400 yards. which

HENRY GEORGE NOMINATED.
Named for Mayor of Greater New York by
Certain Democratic Clubs.

Named for Mayor of Greater New York b,
Certain Democratic Clubs.
New York. Sept. 2S.-The most I'M
portant development In the Greater
New York situation to-day was the
unanimous nomination of Henry
George for mayor by the United Dem
ocracy, composed of numerous fret
silver and Bryan clubs.
Mr. George once polled 6S.U0 votes
rs labor candidate for mayor OF New
York. His strength. II he should ac
cept. would he drawn principally from
the Democratic vote. The United Dem
ocracy also adopted resolution con
demning
"The action of the state committee
in refusing to reafiirm the Chicago
platform, and in nominating as can
didate for chief judge of the Court OF
Appeals. Allen b. Parker. whose part!
fealty Is so doubtful that he is pOpu
tarly believed to have voted against
the BRYAN and Sewnll electoral ticket
last year"
The convention nominated John G.
Boyd for comptroller and Winfield =
Oyerton for president of the municipal
council.
A belief Is current that Mr.. George
will not accept to-night's nomination
If Tammany indorses' the Chicago
platform. On the other hand. the old
time Democratic leaders prefer to ig
more the silver question altogether. SC
the Democrats are as much worried
over Henry George as the Republicans
are over Seth Low.

An investigator who likes to ge

An Investigator who likes to get
down to fine points has been figuring
out the difference in the oiling of
watches and locomotives. A good
watch needs oiling once in year to
year and half. A locomotive oiled
in the same way would run sixty miles
an hour day and night for 648 days,
or nearly forty times the circumfer-
ence OF the earth. He says that as To-
comotives have to be oiled every day
the matchmaker must have brought his
art to much higher degree of perfec-
tion than the man who has built the To-
comotive AS matter OF fact, the
cases arc not parallel. The watch is
most carefully protected from the air,
dust and foreign substances. The To-
ccmotive runs through dirt, dust, cln-
ders and debris of all sorts, much Of
which, as a matter of course, works
into the machinery. If this man could
keep locomotive in glass case and
oil it and care for it as completely as
he does his watch, he might be able to
make some figures, but under the cir
cumstances he can scarcely be said to
have proven anything.

Miners Are Perfecting an Organization.
Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 2T.-Nothing new
developed today in the strike region
and the day passed quietly. All the
collieries will resume tomorrow, some
for the full week, others for part of
the week. General Goblin and his staff
rode to Audenerid this afternoon and
this evening the Ninth regiment gave
n dress parade. 1t Is announced at
headquarters that the Fourth regiment
is to be withdrawn on Tuesday. The
Fourth is stationed at Drifton. con-
ference will be held tomorrow to de-
eide on the withdrawal of other troops.
The failure of the coroner's jury to
arrive Mt verdict Is vnriOusly COM
mented upon. Another meeting of the
Jury is to be held tomorrow evening,
when 1t Is expected verdict will be
rendered.
A meeting Of miners was held at
Freeland today. at which several prom
inent labor leaders were present. The
meeting was held behind closed doors.
1t is known. however, that the miners
are being more thoroughly organized.
so that In the event of another strike
they Will have leader and organiza-
ton.
A gang of roughs broke into Squire
Robinson's office at Audenrid and de-
molished considerable furniture. Later
the residence of Mine Superintendent
Conner Jones was stoned. Robinson
refused to issue warrant for Fore
man Jones' arrest some time ago. and
this is supposed to be the cause Of the
raid made on his office.

General Woodford has declined to be

Unusual measures were taken to pro-

Glrardvlllc. Pa, Sept. 2S.-At least
nine men received fatal injuries and
POSSIBLY two score others were more
or less seriously wounded In u bloody
riot here late last night and early this
morning. The battle was the out
come OF quarrel over the IIaZelton
troubles. Thlrty-siN men are known to
have been wounded and about fifty
more are hcing sccreted by their
friends, who fear that they will be

All We're charged with assault with In
tent to kill. housebrcaklng and rioting.
and We're held In heavy bail for court.
Many more warrants haye been issued,
but have not been served as yet.
The story of the riot Is as follows:
Several hundred Polandcrs board at
william Cullacabbage's hotel on Sec
ond street. Joseph Cavcndish Is pro-
prictor Of the hotel at the east end of
town, where several hundred more Pol.
nnders make their headquarters. Bad
blood has existed between them for n
long time and the recent strike trouh-
les at Hnzclton embittercd them still
more. Last night matters came to u
and his followers. to the number OF
several hundred. arming themselves
| with guns. rcvolvers. knives. axes and
| clubs, marched to Cavcndisli's hotel.
where several hundred OF their enc
mics We're celebrating pay day.
The Caven,lish men ascertaincd that
their foes were marching upon them.
and arming themselves hurriedly.
awaited their arrival. After n demon
strafive march the Cullacabbngc con.
tingcnt arrived and Immediately
stormcd the saloon.
| Then n bloody battle cnsued. The
men fought like demons. the shooting
was fast and furious-nScs. knives.
clubs and other weapons We're used
with deadly effect. The battle lasted
almost an hour. when the Cullacnb
bage gang was routed. leaving thcii
wounded behind.
Everything In the house was smashed
and the floors were strewn with
wounded men. The walls We're bcspat
tered with blood and shreds OF human
flesh.
After the rioters Trad returned tc
their headquarters the Cuvcntiish gang
armed themselves to the teeth and
marched to their enemies rendezvous
where n second battle. still blOodier
than the first. ensued. The police force
and the constnblcs of the surrounding
region were called to the scene. but
were unable to cope with the riotinc
horde. who continued hostilities until
morning.
The town people did not sleep wink
all night. and while they watched the
progress Of the fight during the night
they made no attempt to Interfere. :,
The place was In an uproar. but all
Is quiet now. and no i;ore trouble Is
anticipated. 1t is thought that after
the excitement subsidies most OF the
guilty parties will be arrested. The
residences of many citizens were dam.
aged and several outsiders were

Great Sales of Iron Ore.

Cleveland. Ohio. Sept. 2G.-From
talks with iron dealers 1t is learned
that the movement of ore from the up
per lake mines this ycnr will beat all
records. 1t is now estimated that at
least 13.OOO.OOO tons will be marketed
this season. and next spring is likely to
find all the docks clear. That would
be unprecedented. Last year the stocks
in the spring amounted to 3,0OO,OOO
tons. Ninety-five per cent. of the allot-
ment of the Ore Association has al
ready been sold and prices show a
buoyancy under the heavy sales. 1t
is believed the ore pool which existed
prior to last spring will be reorganized
next ring.

There have been charges that the de-
