hshes n
New York July 2.-The first woman to
make a "quadruple century" is Mrs.
Charles H. Brush, who completed the feat
at $40 O'Clock this morning. The start
was made at O'Clock Friday morning,
making the elapsed time A hours, 40

sleep while riding the 400 miles. The diet
of Mrs. Brush consisted of soft boiled eggs,
milk. and tea. about two gallons of ice
cream. crackers, and raisins, with pepsin
and bicarbonate of soda in occasional
doses to keep the stomach toned. The ice
cream had the refreshing and sustaining
effects realized by Egloff in his ten con-
tinuous centuries made recently. Except
for sleepiness, the condition of Mrs. Brush
was fine. At the finish her physician noted
that her heart and stomach were in first
rate condition, but her eyes were bloodshot,
her knees hands, and feet numbed, her
facial muscles drawn, and her lips slightly
cracked She was thoroughly tagged and
much sunburned, but otherwise in condi-
ton to ride further. Mrs. Brush, who is
twenty-five years old. was accompanied
throughout the ride by her husband. The
centuries were ridden under the auspices
of the Century Road Club, and regularly
checked.

THE CAPTURE OF LHVERE
Tie Police Believe They Have
Caught a Professional swindler.
Many Contradictory Statements
Made by the Prisoner - Probably
Has Female Conference.-The
authorities TO Investigate Him
Thoroushly-Extrem Clever.

The young man who was arrested by
Policeman Edwards Saturday night, ac-
cused OF shoplifting at the Palais Royal
and the store OF Philip t. Hall is being
held at the Twelfth Street station for a
preliminary hearing in the Police Court
this morning There are two charges Of
petit larceny against him. The. prisoner
gave ihe name OF George Levere, and
clsimed to have lived in Cincinnati, but
the police and local detectives are inclined
10 think that Levere is a fictitious name,
and that their. prisoner is professional
thief. He is a well-educated. refined look
ing young man, and the conversation
which Lieuteaant Amiss and Detective
Helan had with him after his arrest led
them to conclude that he is a clever indi-
vidual.
il is believed that he has female part
ner in this city or Baltimore. and in view
OF this supposition the police have been
instructed TO forbid him being seen by any
person without the presence of a police
man as witness.
Although Levere was reticent when ar
rested and refused to talk further than 10
say that he came from Cincinnati, he
talked more freely yesterday. He said
that his home was not in Cincinnati, but
in Wabash Avenue in Chicago. He refused
10 give any number. He asserts that he
has a wealthy wife living at the Wabash
Avenue home and alleges that the S111.25
in cash. diamond horseshoe pin. and costly
gold watch which were taken from his
clothing at the statIonhouse belong TO his
wife Levere claims that he worked for a
patent medicine man named Kautz, who,
he says, has an office at 1045 Market
Street, San Francisco, and denies that he
ever stole anything prior TO last Saturday.
He, however. acknowledged stealing the
articles which he carried when arrested,
hut only did so when cornered by the po-
lice and forced TO admit that he was not
adhering to the truth.
He has made so many contradictory
statements since his arrest, and withal.
has done this so naturally that the police
are not Inclined TO believe much that he
says. The detectives are now endeavoring
to establish the identity of Levere, 10
prove that he is not the man he claims
TO be; that he has a criminal record and
may be wanted by the police of ether
cities; also that he has a confederate, and
possibly a room in which numerous other
stolen articles may be concealed.
Levere is one of the most clever men
that has operated in this city for some
time. and used methods which were de-
cidedly original and novel. He took a
handsome black silk skirt, valued at S29.50
from the Palais Royal, and accomplished
his work so well that the manager of the
establishment, when interviewed by Police
man Edwards, felt sure there was some
mistake. He doubted that any skirt lad
been taken. but changed his mind when
he viewed the stolen garment. bearing q
Palais Royal price tag, at the Twelfth
Street station.
