known horsemen in the city, was taken to
the hospital, where he died afterward.
Mcdonald had taken a fast horse to the
| lSpeedway, and had been challenged by a
friend to a test of speed. The horses went
along at a furious pace, with the thousands
of spectators applauding the brush. Then,
with mighty effort, McDonald's horse took
the bit, and with defiant toss Of his head
shot to the front. Two blocks ahead the
Speedway was impossible to the flyers, and
Mcdonald, realizing this, stood up in his
rig, and, dropping one rein, gave the other
la mighty jerk. ell threw his horse, killing
|it, and himself was pitched high into the
air, falling on the hard road. His skull
was fractured.

FIFTY-YEAR FRANCHISE
~ APPROVED BY CHICAGO
CITIZENS
Resolutions Adopted in Mass Meeting
Favoring Municipal Ownership
of Street Car Privileges

CHICAGO, Dec. ]...--Central Music hall
was this AFTERNOON filled with citizens of
Chicago who, had gathered in mass meeting
In order to protest against the extending
OF Cnicago's street car franchise to fifty
Years The speakers dwelt mainly on the
question of compensation for extension OF
street car grants, but before its close the
proposition of municipal ownership was
extensively touched upon and received gen
erous applause.
Franklin II. Read presided, and the
speakers were Mayor Harrison, former
Governor Altgcld, George E. Cole, John M.
Harlan and Rev. Thomas Hudnett.
Ex-Governor Altgeld was first to advert
ITO the subject oil municipal ownership, and
his remarks aroused the greatest enthusl-
asm of the meeting. Referring to the al
legged use of money in the city council, Mr.
Altgeld said:
GLOW can we stop this thing"
"Hang them; get rope; hang the bood-
1ers," responded the audience.
The resolutions which were prepared IN
advance, were found inadequate to the
sentiment of the meeting, and resolution
was included favoring municipal owner
ship of the street car lines, il not this year,
then when the present grant expires in
1908
The most significant portions of the res
olutions adopted were as follows:
Resolved, that inasmuch as the beginning
and end of all political corruption in the
city council are the traction companies,
the directors and stockholders of those
companies should not be permitted to es-
cape the odium now directed against venal
public servants, but that they be exposed
to condemnation as criminals and anarch-
lists, in that they are organizing corruption
and plotting aaginst the peace and pros
perity of Chicago, and inviting conse-
quences as disastrous to this community
as any outrages ever devised by the sworn
enemies of society; and,
Resolved, that the citizenship of Chicago
stands strong at the back of our mayor in
his brave fight for the peoples right; that
it is the sense of this meeting that the time
for municipal ownership, il not right now,
may be by the time the present franchise
shall expire.

to shine as a star attraction on the vaude-
vile stage in Chicago during the present

boards in big, black letters, sandwiched be-
tween those Of artists whose specialties lie
along other lines. His engagement marks
an innovation in the methods of amusement
managers, for Mr.. Miller's turn will ap-

another chapter to his remarkably varied
experience, for he has been surprising the

EXPLODED GAS
Another Oil Derrick Destroyed by
Fire

A severe explosion of natural gas in an oil
well on the corner of Quebec and Miramar
streets yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock re-
suited in the total destruction of the der
rick and all the tools used about the plant.
The well was down about 400 feet, and
VEN of natural gas was struck, which ex-
ploded with unusual force, throwing several
men who were at work on the derrick to the
ground, none of whom were injured, how
ever, although one man had his clothes
nearly burned off.
1t was the strongest explosion of the kind
ever occurring in this district, blowing out
the derrick, but not injuring other wells
and derricks within fifty feet of it. The
damage will not exceed $1,000.
