ROTH'S GREAT RIDE.
His Record OF 34,3sO Miles In $40 Days
Will Be Hard to Break.

His Record OF 34,38O Miles In $40 Days
Will BE Hard to Break.
A few years ago. in the early days OF
mileage competition, the announcement
that "a cyclist had covered 81, $50 miles
within a year would have created no stir.
1t would have passed silently and swiftly
into oblivion as a bold prevarication, but
now things are different. 1t Is known that
L. n. Roth. the Chicago wheelman, has
actually accomplished that remarkable
feat, and the matter has become subject
of wide comment This wonderful record,
which Is vouched for by persons of probity,
was made In less than year-in $40 days,
In fact-on one machine and without pace
makers or other assistance.
: 1t was on the 26th day OF January, 1896,
that Roth made his start. He finished his
ride on New Years eve. A hard rainstorm
was pelting him as he rode the finishing
mile, and during all the long course Of his
yeaps work Le has lost no time by reason
of the weather's vagariea Some days he
labored wearily through heavy mud, on
others he encouL tered wind and storm,
steaming swelter and blistering sun, and
yet he actually averaged moro than 10l
miles per day. In making this ride Roth
travelled over dozen states In his endeavor
to follow good weather throughout the
country. This speedy and indefatigable
fellow rolled of centuries as easily as a
novice would miles, scoring In all 146, OF
which number 32 were double, or 200
miles, and one was q triple century, 300
miles, In "a hours His greatest months
mileage was more than 1000 miles. BY
this ride he became entitled to many records
and medals which the Century Road club
must secure to him. In the first place,
there Is the individual mileage medal Of
America; then there are the Illinois state
medal, the century record of several states,
the 200 mile record of ii hours and 30
minutes, the 300 mile record of 20 hours
fiat, the "a hour record of 300 miles, and
several others.
The one wheel upon which Roth rode tn
entire distance was "a pound machine
with five pound tires. The breaking of a
rim was the only accident of the year Roth
used no kind of liquor or other stimu-
lants, ate well and slept well and gained
10 pounds during the IL months devoted
to his task.

The Decorative Ironing Table.

The combination ironing table that can
be turned into seat has been put to other
than kitchen use by some clever women.
One had been stained a deep olive green
and had the seat upholstered with olive
corduroy fastened with white nails. An
other seat, stained an oak color, had pat
tern ON the hack picked out with fancy
headed wrought iron nails The one was
covered with figured burlap in oak color,
fastened in place with the same kind of
nails used on the back. A seat of the kind
in bedroom is painted with white enamel
and has the seat covered with scarlet.

and completely revolutionize the model OF
today.
The levers, with short crank attachment,
are somewhat similar to those used for
small lathes, job printing presses and 9TH
or foot power machines. The levers can be
made any length desired, according to the
length OF the crank used The levers are
kept on by little pulley, which runs In
the groove, the lever being held In place
by a little strip of steel on the under side.
The gears are said to be more nearly me-
chanically perfect than the bevel gears,
and the inventor further ,iniins that the
friction on these gears Is less than on bevel
gears, and that they are 80 high up that
they do not catch 80 much dust as do the
sprocket and chain.

portant Evidenca

Greenfield. Mass. jan. 13.-An owl train
which arrived In this village at 9 o'clock
yesterday morning. brought S ate Off
officer Wesley Woodward Of Shelburne
Falls. having In custody John O'Neil. Jr..
23 years Of age. who was arrested at an
early nour at his fathers residence In
Shelburne Falls, Rockland township, on
the charge of being the murderer OF Mrs.
Hattie McCloud.
O'Neil was arraigned before Associate
Justice Danna in the district court. and
pleaded not guilty.
From the time of the discovery OF the
murder, the police have been Tightening
the chain Of evidence against O'Neil, who
Is said to be addicted to drink and the
black sheep Of an otherwise respectable
family. What first aroused the officers
suspicion was the fact that late on the
night Of the murder, O'Neil and some
companions tried to purchase ticket to
Boston, and to prove that he had money
waved ten-dollar bill In the face Of the
ticket agent at the Fitchburg depot.
State officer Munyan. Deputy Sheriff
Smead of Greenfield and Police Officer
Wesley Woodard Of Shelburne Falls en-
tered the house. which Is situated only
q short distance from the scene Of the
tragedy. The other officers remained
outside.
Officer Munyan asked Mrs. O'Neil. "Is
John in?" and Mrs. O'Neil said. Yes
what Is wanted?" The reply Of Mr.. Mum
yam was: g
I'VE want to arrest John on the sus-
picion that he murdered Hattie Nc
Leod last Friday night"
Mrs. O'Neil simply said. John is in
that room." and pointed to q door.
The officers at once entered, and O'Neil
was seen in his bed. sleeping as sound
Iy as an innocent child. Sheriff Snead
aroused O'Neil, and said, I'VE want YOU"
The suspected man kicked off the bed
clothing anu bounded to the floor. He
said. What do you want?" and was
told that he was under arrest for the
murder of Mrs. McCloud.
O'Neil at once said, II am innocent:
never committed that murder. Who
said / did it?''
The general feeling about the town is
that the officers have some important
evidence against O'Neil which they have
not made public.
While the excitement here is intense
really against ONeil, considerable SYM
pathy is manifested for his father and
family.
Just how conclusive the evidence OF
the government is cannot now be stated.
1t Is thought, however. that O'Neil saw
Mrs McCloud on her way home and fol-
lowed her. The home Of his father Is
only 125 rods from the scene Of the
1 Dodv 7 ic thonUhf that ho In tHa
guilty man. he did not know his victim
was dead when he left her. and II is not
believed he intended to commit murder.
| 1t may be that he had q companion. ana
| II is among the probabilities that another
arrest will follow.
G.. d. Crittenden has increased the re-
werd offered for the conviction Of the
murderer of his daughter to 500. The
state officers are endeavoring to find the
/ supposed accomplice Of O'Neil, and may
make more arrests.
