LANCASTER WOy THE PENNANT-
Close of the Atlantic Base Ball League
Season.

The Atlantic League season practically
closed Saturday. Lancaster, Pa, had the
pennant won for a month or more and
the certainty of the result prevented the
display of much enthusiasm, such as would
follow a close race.
The base ball public of Lancaster cele-
brated in mild way, however, the win
ming of the pennant by the Lancaster team.
There was but little demonstration after
the game with Norfolk Saturday, as the
victory was such hollow one but later
in the evening the rooters appeared oil
the streets and made night hideous with
their yeiis for the Atlantic League cham
pions.
The Atlantic League standing was as

MICHAEL MaKEsl1NEW RECORDS.
Time for Twenty-Eiye Miles Cut Down
Almost Two Minutes.


Almost Two Minutes.
Jimmy Michael won, the great tri-
angular match race at Charles River Park,
at Boston, Saturday afternoon, defeating
Lucen Lesna, the champion French picy-
clist. and Eddie" Mcpnfie, the fastest
middle distance American on the cycle
track. eJ4 70
All worlds records from three miles up
to twenty-five were broken. the time at the
last mile being nearly two minutes lower
than the former record
McDuffie had the pole at the start, with
Lesna in the center and Michael on the
outside. McDuffie got a good lead in the
first lap, but lost 1t to Michael, and the
three teams and men rode together for a
few laps, when the chain on one, of the
multiplex machines pacing McDufffe broke
and he had to go nearly a full lap up-
paced. 700,
From that time on Michael was never
the track. McDuffie had caught Lesna and
passed him when the second accident to
his pacing. machine occurred, putting him
out of the race, although he made plucky
ride and was but two laps back of Michael
at the finish.
The records made in this race are re-
markabie. Up-to this time Lesna had held
practically all records from three to
twenty-five miles, excepting the sixteenth
and twentieth mile records. which were
broken on Thursday last by Michael in his
field.
Every American and worlds record from
three to twenty-five miles, inclusive is now
credited to Michael

An unanswerable argument in support

ton of silver to its place with gold in the
coinage, where Washington and Jefferson
placed it, and where Jackson maintained
it by perfecting the standard, is the fact
which Senator Chandler, the New Hsmp-

speech in the T. S. Senate this month. He
said, from careful ascertainment, that the
1896 production of gold and silver in the
world was very exactly equal $3.50, 000,-
600 edch-at the American ratio of Is to 1.

TRAINS FATAL Plunge
Railroad Wreck Caused by the
Floods in Indiana.
SEVEN LIVES WERE SACRIFICED.

A Train on the Evansville and Terre Haute
Railroad Thrown Down an Embank-
ment, owing to washout. and the Cars
Float Away.
Princeton, Ind, March 11.-One of the
worst railroda wrecks that has occur
red in this vicinity for many years
happened yesterday morning at 8
o'clock to the Chicago and Nashville
limited southbound over the Evans
Vile and Ierre Haute railroad, one
mile north of Hazelton. The train was
made up of engine "a. in charge of En-
gineer John K. McCutchan and Fire
man Joseph Bowman, a combination
baggage and mail car, smoker, ladies'
coach and one sleeper. The engine
went over the embankment, falling a
distance of Is feet into six feet of
water. The smoker was telescoped by
the baggage car, and the ladies' coach
and sleeper remained on the track.
Engineer McCutchan says he was run
ming rs miles an hour, and when he
approached the washout saw nothing
but very small hole. The engine
went over it and went down the en-
bankment.
Where the wreck occurred five trains
had passed over the same place within
the hour, and the roadbed had been
pronounced in good condition by the
different train crews. A track walker
had also passed over the same route
shortly before the train went down.
The track at the point of the washout
was still intact, and water filled the
space formerly occupied by the en-
bankment.
Brakeman Haueisen was pinioned in
the smoker by a broken timber of the
car. His head remained above water,
and for five hours men worked trying
to rescue him. His sufferings were ter
rible; and he begged that some one
take an ak and cut off his leg. Finally
the water undermined the car and re-
leased Haueisen, and as he was drag
ged from his position the car floated
away.
All the passengers in the smoker are
supposed to have been killed. Four
persons besides Conductor Seers were
seen in the smoker as it broke loose,
rolled down the embankment and
fioated off with the current. Harry
j. Hill, the baggageman, was the ouly
member of the train crew who escaped
unhurt.
About s o'clock a large section of the
levee broke sending the baggage cars
and the smoker down into the water,
and both subsequently floated away.
At ~ o'clock the ladies' COACH which
had been lying crosswise on the tracks,
floated off toward the river.
1t looks row as though several days
will elapse before trains can be run
over the washout, as there is no way
of getting around it. The cars and en-
CINE cannot be taken out before the
water goes down. Then the bodies of
the unknown dead may be found, but
the probability is that they will have
been washed away.
The killed as far as known are:
George A. Sears of Terre Haute. con-
ductor; Joseph Bowman of Evansville,
fireman, buried under Locomotives;
Herbert Allen, doorkeeper of the leg
islature, of Evansville; four unknown
passengers.
The injured are: Engineer John Nc
Cutcheon of Evansville. scalded about
the legs and arms and bruised: John
B. Hauesen, brakeman, of Evansville,
foot badly crushed.

MexIcans and Cuba.

City of Mexico, March 11.--opular
interest is intense as to the reply the
government will make to the request
of the Spanish minister that the au-
thorities interfere to prevent further
collection of funds for Cuban patriots.
Spaniards claim and exercise the right
to raise money for their soldiers, and
yet they deny similar right to the
Mexican people. It seems probable
the government will express its opin-
ion that Mexican citizens have in
every legitimate way the right to man.

the Cuban cause.

Each month since election the post Office
business of the country has shown falling
off from the same month year before
which only confirms the abundant evidences
of the unpleasant fact that the richest and
greatest country on earth is steadily weak
ening for want of something which did not
come with the election of Mckinley and a
continuance of the gold cure. To apply
the right remedy, patriots of every party
must study these symptoms, disagreeable
as they may be. To disguise OF falsify them
has no longer the excuse of an electioneer-
ing purpose.

Captain Hart Sentenced.

Philadelphia, March 9.-Judge But
Ter, in the United States district court
overruled the motion for a new trial
in the case of John D. Hart who was
convicted of aiding in the sending of a
military expedition on the steamship
Laurada, to carry men and arms to
Cuba to help the insurgents to fight
the Spaniards, and sentenced Hart to
pay fine of $500 ard costs and to two
years imprisonment in the Eastern
penitentiary. The costs of the prosecu-
ton will amount to nearly $4,000. Cap
tain Hart was taken to prison immedi-
ately after the sentence was pro-
nounced
