WENT TO JAIL FOR LOVE.

Woman Takes All the Blame for
Murder Her Fiance Committed.
The supreme court of Mexico has
asked President Diaz to pardon Maria
Montesillos, who, some time ago, was
sentenced to 20 years imprisonment
In Belem Jail for O murder she never
committed. The crime for which she is
suffering punishment was the killing
of Pascaul Montafio, in a family quar-
rel. Miss Montesillos' lover, Piquinto
Torres, was the real murderer, but be-
cause she loved him Maria was willing
to take the penalty. She took all the
blame for the murder and during the
preliminary inquiry by the third crimi-
nal Judge, and afterward at the trial
by jury, stoutly maintained that she,
and she alone, was responsible for the
death of Montafio. whom she had killed,
she said, to free herself from his con-
slant courtship and dishonorable
propositions. Torres, therefore, got
off scot free, and the woman, as the
murder was considered to have been
committed under aggravated circum-
stances, was sentenced to 20 years in
prison, a sentence which she cheerfully
accepted. But Torres, when he got
out, was unfaithful, and jealousy then
proved too much for Maria when she
learned of this. She presented the
rlearest proof that she was innocent
and Torres guilty, and showed letters
from him to that effect Her first at
tempt TO secure relief was made before
the superior tribunal and was unsuc-
cessful, but the supreme court has just
set aside that decision and asked Presi-
dent Diaz to grant her freedom.

ProdnctIon nf orone.

The progress in the construction and
working of ozone generators has late
ly been such that ozone can now be pro-
duced in large quantities continuously,
and the industrial application of ozone
can, therefore, be carried on now at a
relatively low cost and on a large
scale. Impure water can be rendered
wholesome and drinkable by means Of
ozone, which in the presence Of water
acts as a very powerful bactericide.

too long already. The consideration
shown It has but made 1t the more in
solent and obtrusiye. Now is the time
for Chief OF Police Dolan to instruct
his officers to serve notice upon these
loafers that, II they will not work
themselves, they cannot loaf upon
Market street and spend their time in
insulting those who do work and who
have a right to expect that when they
traverse the streets Of our city they
shall be exempt from insult and dis
tasteful attention.
These loafers are arrant towards.
They insult and defame the weak and
defenceless women who are most en-
titled to the laws protection. II they
have a real or imagined grievance
against a man they do not attack him
singly and in a manly manner, but in
sufficient numbers TO take him at dis
advantage and to beat and mutilate
him in most cowardly and horrible
manner, as was done on West Eighth
street several nights ago.
The safety and well-being of the
community demands that the street be
cleared OF these loafers, who frequent
DIT both day and night. BY the term
loafers we do not include workingmen
who spend their evenings on Market
street after hard days labor in the
shops. Not at all. The public has
nothing to fear from the honest me-
chanioswho spend their hours OF recrea-
tion on the street. The chronic loafers
are as well known to the police as are
the signboards and other fixtures on
the thoroughfare.
II the parents OF these young men
have not enough consideration and re-
spect for the motherhood and sister
hood Of Wilmington to compel them to
cease their annoying and insulting
practices, they surely cannot expect
that the manhood and fatherhood and
brotherhood OF the city are going to
permit 1t to continue merely because
the offenders have behind them fam
lily respectability, which they ignore
and besmirch by their own actions.
The proper course would be to give
fair warming that the thing is to be
broken up. II this warning is ignored
the chief OF police should instruct his
officers to gather in all such chronic
loafers and leave the Municipal Court
to deal with them in the same manner
that it would any other persons guilty
OF disorderly conduct.
Judge Ball and the Police Commits
sion must support the officers in their
efforts. They should refuse to listen to
the pleas OF the influential citizen in
behalf OF young men who have no ex-
cuse for their dastardly conduct When
1t becomes fully understood that the
court will be guided solky by the evil
dence, and that family connections will
constitute no bar to prosecution, con-
viction and incarceration, the mothers
and wives and daughters of the honest
and industrious men of this commu-
nifty will be exempt from the insults
OF loafers, and the men Of the commu-
nifty will be free from the dangers OF
unprovoked, cowardly and murderous
assault.
1t is time to call halt and to make
an example. The nuisance has been
tolerated until it has almost resulted
in double murder, and no better op-
portunlty could be afforded the chief OF
police and his subordinates to exercise
their powers and vigilance and for the
Police Commission and Judge Ball tc
give them the needed support in theil
| work.

Field of Three Horses.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 22-Clear and

Ger, for three-year-elds and upward, only
brought out a field of three. Poetess,

CYCLING NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The race meet advertised for Thursday
evening at the track of the Park Bicycle
Club on the Conduit road can really be
termed middle-distance race meet, the
first of its kind for this season. The
five mile amateur handicap will be the
first long race of its kind held on the new
track. Heretofore the highest handicap
held did not go over two miles. Then
there will be the five-mile exhibition
tablish a track record. The match pur-
suit race, unlimited distance, between
Fred Titus, of New York, and Frank
Starbuck, of Philadelphia, will be anoth-
er event that will be out of the sprint
class. This race will undoubtedly last
over five miles, and may continue for fiji
teen miles. Starbuck, in recent
match race at Philadelphia with
Clint Coulter, the eX-unpaced king, was
defeated only after a hard ride of fifteen
miles and fifty yards. Then again in an
Australian pursuit race at Philadelphia
Starbuck held out against the winning
man for distance of thirteen and half
miles. This Illustration is only given to
show that there is some possibility of
the race Thursday being rather long
one both contestants being equal TO what
ever emergency in this connection that
may arise. The only race that can hard
ly be classed in this middle-distance list
will be the tandem heat race. Each heat
will be for a mile, but as as it is likely
that four or five, or, perhaps more, heats
will have to be run, in the aggregate this
might be stretched to come in as mid
dle-distance ride.

de France cleared 10000 last season over
all expenses, and the. Cyclists Touring
Club of England is reported to come out

PARADISE FOR HORsEMEN.
Schemes Proposed for Racing and
Training in Cuba.

Lexington, Ky, Aug 22.-There is
strong talk among the trotting horsemen
here of establishing trotting tracks in Ha-
vana and San Juan if Cuba and Porto
Rico become United States territory.
Races could be trotted there in the Win
ter months, and the horses trained there
all Winter IL necessary. They could then
be shipped to the States early in the
Summer well fitted for long campaign.
Porto Rico especially would be an ideal
place for winter training, and many
horsemen would take their fast ones
there 10 prepare them for the early cam
paigns at least, provided the cost of
transportation would not be too great. 1t
is believed by horsemen who know some
thing of the characteristics of the Gu
bans and Porto Ricans that they would
take kindly TO turf sports in lieu OF bull
fights, and that they would soon become
enthusiastic horsemen.
The heavy rains which have fallen near
" every day since the beginning OF July
have caused the Lexington horsemen TO
be backward in training their horses, and
unless better weather is experienced not
a few of the horses quartered here Will be
far from ready for bruising races this
Fall. At the same time Lexington is not
the only place where rain has interfered
with the work of training. 1t seems TO
have done the same thing in other West
ern States.
l.. V. Hardness, the wealthy New
Yorker. who came TO Kentucky ana
bough several thousand acres near this
city for the purpose of rearing trotters,
is also dabbling in coach horses. Several
months ago he bought the premium
coach stallion Indro and several highly
bred coach mares. He has now just
purchased forty highly-bred trotting
mares to be bred to Indre- They are
nearly all by Indian Chief, the excep-
lions being those out of mares by these
horses. Mr. Harkness's object is to
breed mares rich in the blood of Indian
Chief to Indre, with the hope of getting
a high-class coach horse, capable of
showing great speed and at the same
time fine form and much style AS Indre
has shown his ability 10 go a mile at the
trot in 2:24 it is fully believed thai his
colts and FLIES will be very fast, espec-
tally those out of well-bred trotting
mares.
Not a single horseman in this section
has joined the army. While lawyers,
doctors, preachers, journalists, polite
ians, bookkeepers, bankers business
men, and farmers and mechanics have
enlisted, no trotting horseman has
