Mile in 81 40 Seconds.

c. VI. Murphy's Ride on N Bicycle Be
Escape from an Accident at the Finish.
The fastest time ever made by a bicy-
clist was recorded Friday, when Charles
M. Murphy rode mile in 81 4-5s. Muir
phys wonderful ride was made on a board
track built between the rails of the Long Is
land railroad. He was paced by locomotive
drawing a specially constructed car with a
wind shield. Murphy went his first quart
er in los, the second quarter in IA 2-5s,
the third in IA 3-5s, and the last in Is 4-js
time that five timers will swear to. His
official times were: Quarter los,
half-mile 20 POS, three-quarters AS, and
one mile 81 4-5s. The course was sur
veyed and the timing done by competent
officials.
Those on the back platform, who watch
ed Murphy all through his wonderful ride,
said that the riders handlebar knocked
against the rubber buffer at least six times,
and each time the conclusion sent him
back full six feet, but Murphy always had
strength enough to regain the distance.
In the last quarter-mile he covered the
ground for the greater part fully a wheel
length outside of the hood, but as he pass
ed the finish he was close up.
At the end two strong men on the train
reached down and seized the rider by
either arm and lifted him aboard the car in
safety. Their action undoubtedly saved
Murphy's life, because he was so weak
that had he been allowed to remain on the
wheel he would have been unable to con-
troll it. In less than five minutes he was
able TO converse.

COlOred Miners Fired Upon.

One Woman Killed and 30 Persons In
Jured---AhOther Labor Outbreak Near
PanR, Ill.
A large number of striking union miners
opened fire Friday on a train on the Hi
nois Central, carrying a coach-load of ne
groes from Pana, ILL.,, to Brush's mine, one
mile north of Carterville, as it stopped at
the Fredonia mine. One woman was killed
and about 90 persons were wounded. Be-
fore the bloody work could be carried
further the train pulled out for johnson
City.
When it reached point one mile north
of Brush's mine, the negroes were unload
ed and marched across the country to their
destination. 1t is said that a majority of
the rioters were negroes, whom Brush
took to Illinois from the South about year
ago and who have since joined the union
There is great excitement in the neighbor-
hood of Brush's mine and battle between
the working negroes, who are well armed,
and the strikers, who are on the ground
ready for fight, may be precipated at any
moment.
A majority of Brush's miners have been
on a strike for a month"; though many of
his imported negroes have remained loyal
to him. The trouble is a question of
wages.

The Arrival OF Dreyfus.

Capt. Dreyfus arrived at Rennes, France,
Friday morning. He landed at Qui Boron
and was conveyed by train to Bruz, 10
kilometers from Rennes. There he enter
ed a landau, accompanied by the chief of
detectives, and was driven to Rennes,
where 20 gendarmes waited his entrance
into the town. Ten of the gendarmes en-
tered a wagon and followed the carriage.
The others followed on foot. The party
arrived at the prison without incident. A
large crowd assembled and witnessed the
arrival in silence.
MN Labori and Demange, counsel for
Dreyfus, who had a long conference with
Nine Dreyfus at Rennes, France, Sunday,
visited Dreyfus in the military prison Mon
day.
This was the first time N Demange, the
defender of Dreyfus at the court-martial
of 1894, and Dreyfus had seen each other
since the sentence. On entering the ROOM
M Demange and Dreyfus threw themselves
into each others arms. The scene was
very touching. NJ Demange presented NJ
Labor. Dreyfus clasped NJ Labori's hand
and in voice choked by emotion, expressed
the deepest gratitude for the splendid man
ner in which NJ Labori had championed his
cause. NM Demange and Labor then
gave the prisoner a general review of all
which had happened since Dreyfus was
sent to Devils island. Dreyfus explained
that he knew nothing but what was con-
tanned in the volume which NJ Labor had
sent him, giving an account of the pro-
ceedings of the court of cessation in 1898.
NM Demange and Labor then left. They
were both greatly impressed with the APP
pearance of Dreyfus, who, they said, is in
much better health, both physically and
mentally, than they had anticipated. Nine
Dreyfus is allowed to visit her husband
every day.

Hatfield-McCOy Feud.
Deputy Sheriff Shot by Son of the Man
Whom He Captured Three Years Ago.

Deputy Sheriff H. E. Ellis of Mingo
county, one of the most influential men in
the southern part of West Virginia, was
shot down Monday by Elias Hatfield, son
of Dell Anse" and brother of the noto-
rious cap, both notorious outlaws. Dep
uty Sheriff Ellis, who is a relative of the
McCoys, surrounded mountain hut three
years ago and captured John Hatfield, who
was wanted for the killing of Greed Mccoy.
Hatfield was sent to prison for life and his
relatives then swore vengeance on the Off
GER.
Ellis walked to the platform of sleeper
attached to train from the South at noon
Monday and saw Elias, who had rifle and
was drinking The deputy feared trouble
and returned to the sleeper. Elias had no.
ticed him, however, and bounded to the
sleeper platform and with an oath fred at
the officer.
Ellis returned one shot from revolver,
but the second ball from Hatfield's rifle pen
etrated his skull, and he fell dead. Hat
field leaped from the car and, running to-
ward Tug river, escaped into Kentucky. A
posse of nearly 100 citizens headed by
Sheriff N. X. Keadle, was in pursuit of the
desperate two hours later. Several of the
Hatfelds crossed over into Kentucky late
in the evening, heavily armed. That they
went to prevent the arrest of Elias is uuques-
toned. That a lynching will be Elias's
fate if brought back to the West Virginia
side of the river is admitted by all.

A State Senator Killed.

A long and bitter political feud was end
ed at Powhatan Court House, Va, 80
miles southeast of Richmond Monday, as
result of which William NJ. Flanagan, a
member of the state senate, common
wealth's attorney of Powhatan county for
10 years, well known throughout the state
as an able politician, was shot and killed
by William NJ. Pilkinton, young lawyer
of Powhatan and political opponent of
Flanagan. Flanagan was a Republican.
He was popular with members of all par
ties, and it seemed impossible to beat him
for commemorative attorney. Full de-
tails of the shooting have not come, but it
is said by a witness who was near by that
Flanagan attacked Pilkinton in the court
house at Powhatan and struck him several
times with his fist, when Pilkinton fired,
the bullet entering Flannagan's body just
below the collar-bone. Flanagan ex-
claimed; 81 am shot and am killed."
Friends caught him as he fell, and he died
in few minutes Pilkinton was arreste d

An Awful Crime in Dedham.
Mrs Eliza Seery's Two Sons Suspected
of Having Caused Her Death.

Mrs Eliza Seery's Two Sons susPseSsd
of Having Caused Her Death.
The result of the autopsy on the body of
Mrs. Ellen Seery, who was found dead in
her home at Dedham, Mass, Sunday, not
only shows that murder was committed,
but that it was of a shocking and unnatur-
al form. The physicians who performed
the autopsy say that, while Mrs. Seery
actually died from heart disease, her death
was brought on by an assault made upon
her, which in this commonwealth consti-
tutes murder, and Mrs. Seery's two sons,
who were sent to the house of correction
Monday for drunkenness, will be again
brought before the court and charged with
committing this shocking crime The mat
ter is in the hands of District Attorney
Harris, and it is possible that an indict-
ment will be asked for without having the
two Seerys arraigned before Justice.
The first intimation of the crime YVES
early Sunday morning, when John SeerF,
one of the sons, called neighbor over TO
the house to see his mother. The BODY of
the unfortunate woman was found partly
on the floor, with the head resting in the
bed, and beneath the head was a small pool
of blood. 1t was known that there had been
debauch in the house, and John Seery, af-
ter the police had been notified, was arrest
ed for drunkenness Michael, another of
the sons, was also arrested, but was re-
leased Monday, as it was shown that he
was not near his home Sunday. A third
son, Joseph, was arrested in Hyde Park as
it was known that he was in the house
during the night. Mrs. Seery was 70
years old, and the mother of nine children,
six sons and three daughters. The Seery
family moved recently to pedham from
Hyde Park.

This country owes much to itself and it
owes the distinct obligation of providing a
sound, adequate and just government to
the natives of the Philippine group More

Gold, 1913, 1893, $50; silver, $50S, 22s, 926;
paper, SAG, S92, 142; bonds, deposits in ma
tional bank repositories, disbursing officers
