The Rtcyc1o Race

New York, December Sat mid
night the indomitable eighteen Were
still pedaling their way around the
high banked floor of Madison Square
garden. From midnight to mid-nignt
Miller had put more than $50 miles be-
hind him. This marvellous record On
the third day of the great race ccT-
ried him along to a total of more than
1000 miles in severty-one hours, 139
miles ahead Of the former record. Dur
ing this weary journey Miller has left
the track but for a few hours. With
the exception perhaps Of Stephane, the
Frenchman, Miller had up to late in
h afternoon a less sleep than any
other man on the track. And, not-
withstarding this, Miller is seemingly
in as good condition as he was yestcr-
day, when experts claimed that he
and Rice, the Wilkesbarre coal miner,
were in the lest shape of all the riders
The next man to Miller at the pres
ent time is Rice, and he is something
more than fifty miles behind. But he
is strong and seems to have the same
determination that carried him almost
to the front in the big race of last
year.
Last years CHAMPION, Teddy Hale,
whose great ride then promised to be
far utdone this year is now making
up ground. He is almost 175 miles be-
hind the leader, but, nevertheless he
has crept up from tenth place, which
he held last night, to eighth place, and
is certain to go much higher before
the end is reached.

Greensboro Telegram, December eth.)
Never perhaps in the annals Of GRIM
inal Jurisprudence in his state has
there been a trial so brief and so dra-
matte where a human life was involv-
ed. After disposing OF the prelimina-
ries this morning Ryan, ine wife muT-
derer. was brought into court and ar
raigned at 1890 O'Clock p. m. 1t had
taken the grand jury only thirty min
utes to return a true bill.
The prisoner was arraigned amid a
breathless silence. He was asked IL he
had counsel. He replied that he did
not have and did not want any. Not
outstanding this the Judge appointed
Colonel James T. Morehead and p. D..
Satchwell to defend him. He retired
to the outroOm with his counsel. In a
few moments they returned and Col
onel Morehead. speaking for counsel,
aid that he was placed in the peculiar
position Of wishing to enter one plea
while his client wished to enter anoth-
er. AS he could not conscientiously en-
ter the plea his client wished to enter
he asked along with Mr.. Satchwell to
be excused. He was excused.
Judge Adams then expostulated with
the prisoner, telling him that learned
counsel had been appointed to defend
him and he should follow their advice.
The prisoner was not merely cool; he
was absolutely Indifferent. 1t might
have. been a man in Europe whose life
was at stake for all the concern he
showed. He stood up chewing his to-
'bacco stoiidly and replied: Il do not
want counsel. I have committed the
deed. It is unnecessary to
the time of the court and worry the
lawyers. I committed the deed. I am
willing to a the penalty Of the act
with my life. If 1 had 100 lives I should
be willing to spend them all in the same
way"
The judge againattempted to influence
him to accept counsel but he persistent
ly refused. His lips were closed with
an expression Of immovable determina-
ton. He would listen to neither judge
nor counsel. He, therefore, entered
the plea Of guilty Of murder in the first
degree and was remanded to Jail. The
entire trial had consumed about fifteen
All that remains is for the
criminal to be sentenced unless his plea
is set aside.
A Telegram reporter saw Judge
Adams at the McAdoo and he said it
was the first instance in his knowledge
where a man had pleaded guilty to a
capital felony. He said that out Of a
sentiment Of humanity he had insisted
on Ryan's accepting couns and being
tried in the regular way. He found
the prisoners conduct very puzzling.
He will probably be sentenced at the
opening of the court in the morning.

he ran into and 50 severely injured lit

The accident occurred nearly in front
OF the residence Of MIR. Hugh MacRae,
atncle OF the unfortunate little boy,
next door to MI. Parsley's residence.
Little Walter and his little cousins,
the son and daughter of Mr.. MacRae,
and some other children, were playing
and romping from the prass plot in
the middle of the street to the pave

ger representative that he was
riding out Market street at "a right
smart gait when he saw Mr.. Mac
Rae's son, Hugh. chase little Walter
from the grass plot across the street
towards the pavement. He says he
hollowed to the children to
look out, rang his bell and tried
to stop his wheel, but when
he shouted out the warning, Mr.. Pars-
ley's little son stopped and faced him
and the bicycle struck him and knock
ed him down. When the wheel fell, Mr..
ldacRae's little boy, who could not
stop himself, ran over it and fell, also
hurting himself. receiving a blow that
caused a severe confusion on his fore
head. Thomas Immediately picked up
MI. Parsley's little boy and carried
him over to MI. MacRae's residence
and thence he was taken to Mr.. Pars-
1ey's home next door.
DIR. George C. Thomas was called
immediately, but the injuries were so
serious hat death resulted at Sis p.
m. The little boy suffered a fracture of
the skull and received a severe bruise
on the right hip.
Thomas was very greatly distressed
over the accident and staid at Mr..
Parsley's residence until Mr.. Parsley
arrived from up town. He expressed
great SORROW over the accident, and af-
ter he had come up town and subse-
quentiy learned that the little boy had
died, he went to the city hall to sur
