NEW YORK, July 30.-The one hun
dred-mile paced bicycle race at Man
haitian Beach track yesterday was won
by Burns Pierce, of Boston, the pres
ent holder of the 100-mile American
record. He failed, however, to beat his
own record of hours, "a minutes and
Al is seconds, finishing in 3 hours, q
minutes and 2-5 seconds.
The stiff breeze blowing across the
track probably lessened the champion
speed. Frank Waller was second in
hours, A minutes and 91-5 seconds.
There were four starters for the
81 900 purse-Burns Pierce, Of Boston;
Harry Elkes, of Glen Falls, n. Y, the
middle distance champion of America;
Charles W. Miller, of Chicago, long
distance champion of the world, and
Frank Waller, Of Boston. The start
took place at 1852, and in the presence
of some 1000 people. Fixes was the
inside man, but had shade the best
of the start. Pierce was on the out
side. but from the moment he left
the tape he hung on doggedly to Elkes
until he finally outrcde him and sent

STANDING OF CLUBS.

There is another move on the check
erboard of the Interstate to-day, and
Jack Glascock's Fort Wayne team
opens a series of games at the Island
Park this afternoon with the home
club. These will be the last games at
reason why they should draw large
crowds. Glasscocktis one of the scrap
piest ball players ins the business, and
he has a club which many regard as
tne rightful champions of the league.
When Wheeling last visited Fort
Wayne the home club split even, and
GIascock boasted that he would take
two out of the present series.
The games with Columbus were not
really a test of strength. Torrysons
team is demoralized, and there is need
for a general overhauling of the CLUB
Several players are incapacitated for
work, and the club is certain to be
loser unless new material is secured.
Another game was dropped by Column
bus yesterday at Toledo, and the end
is not yet What Torreyson will do
to provide a home for the Wanderers
is a mystery. He certainly Will not
have the audacity to take the team
back to Columbus. If he does he will
meet with a frosty reception. A COM
munity which will not support a win
ming team in a class A league Will
hardly patronize a losing club in a
class Organization. The end OF Tor
reyson appears to be- in sight, and
there will not be much weeping among
the Interstate npgnates.
Wheeling vii have an opportunity
to show this afternoon whether there
is any genuine Improvement IN the
club. Five consecutive victories has
been won, and Harvey Pastorius is
slated to turn the sixth trick.

battle. The game was close at all
stages and was anybody's until the last

in the last inning by heavy batting.
The umpire did not know much about

worst of all decisions. The feature CT

The Railroad Taxes.

The Santa Fe Pacific railroad com pany last week held consultation with representatives of the Board of Supervisors from the counties of Coco nino, Navajo, Apache, Yavapai, and Mohave. The meeting was held in Los Angeles on Thursday
 The railroad company on their part agreed to pay taxes on valuation of $2.500 per mile on their right of way and to valuation on their lands along he line of twenty cents per acre, and to pay taxes for the year 1898 on the same basis.
 The Board of Supervisors of this county have agreed to the proposal of the railroad, and so have Apache and Navajo counties.
 Under the circumstances the Board of Supervisors of this county did the best thing possible in accepting the proposition. As under d recent de- cision of the U. s. Supreme court the right of way was held as being exempt from taxation, and left only the lands of the company subject to taxation. It is true that the value of lands could have been raised. but thi, would have been taken into the courts, and resulted in long contest. Taking all things in to consideration. the result is about the same in either case, only under the present agreement the railroad pays it's taxes promptly and the county gets its money each year, instead of waiting the outcome Of u suit.

In five minutes after, they are up to
the fire, and around it. their dark bod

Of those by the rock.
The captive now understands why
the whole carcase is being cooked.
There are mouths enough to require
every scrap of it, and, despite the
chiefs promise, he may himself get but
a spare supper.
He is not thinking of this, but in
stead watching the newly-arrived rob-
bers, and making note of their move
ments. He sees that almost every one
of them carries something on his back,
or in his hand, which he filings down
on reaching the fire; no doubt, the
game bag of which his guard has just
spoken.
But the contents tell the bandit has
been only using a figure of speech,
these neither birds nor four-footed ami
mails, but pieces of plate, articles of
furniture of a portable kind, and bund-
les that appear TO contain table linen,
tapestry or clothing.
And of this character they are-the
whole catalogue of chattels taken from
the countryhouse of an affiuent pro-
prietor, living in the neighborhood of
Tivoli, for the time absent from his
home. 1t was to announce the success
of the burglarious terprise-carried
out on the preceding night-that Bar
bone, herald-like, came across the
mountain, and the chiefs anxiety arose
from his not deeming the spoil safe
tilPhe saw it. For reasons only known
to himself, he took no part in the &C
ton, after having arranged it; making
appointment for his men to meet him
on the pratone; as they have done, as
cending from the opposite side, on
which was the scene of their midnight
maraud.
Shortly after their arrival, the beef
is pronounced "done." They are not
particular to turn" and most OF
them could eat it out of the skin, as
these banned outlaws not unfrequently
do. But tonight they are to have
feast at the expense of some uncon-
scous cattle proprietor They are hun
cry as their own mountain wolves,
and. without waiting a moment longer
even for the joints to be removed
from the spits-they out with knives,
and commence cuttinff off large collops
The two sentinels over the prisoner
regard all this with longing glances
and watering teeth. They suffer only
for a short while. A comrade, mindful
of them, comes up, bearing big rib
for each, on which there is enough
flesh to satisfy them.
Nor is Corvino forgetful of his prom
Use to the prisoner. Some slices are
also sent to him, with the 'compli-
ments of the capo."
