1000 MILE RECORD.

MINNEAPOLIS August 3.-The worlds
bicycle record for 1000 miles, held by 7. A.
Edge, of London. England, and made over
an ordinary turnjike road, has been broken
by A. A. Hansen, who finished his long
ride early this morning, covering the dis.
lance in 90 hours, A minutes. The time
made by Edge was los hours 10 minutes
1t may be questioned whether Hansen will
be accorded in all quarters the worlds rec
ord, as he rode over a boulevard, while
Edge made his ride over an ordinary road
At the same time it is questionable wheth-
er Hansen's. path was at all superior to
the hard road macadam of the English
country road. Hansen had one very bad
bridge to climb twice in every forty miles
trip, and there were spots in the path that
would disgrace a wagon read. The Min
neapolis rider finished at 2:54 this morning
after having been actually in the saddle 73
hours. In order to make the thing sure
as to distance Hansen was sent another
twenty miles after completing his ride.
Hansen finished in very good condition,
considering the severity of the task he had
in hand The handlers do not anticipate
that any evil effects will ensue.

SHAMROCK SAILS.

GLASGOW. August S.-The cup challen-
ger Shamrock sailed from Fairlie this
morning, accompanied by Sir Thomas Lip
tons steam yacht Erin. AS the two yachts
proceeded down the river, whose banks
were thronged with spectators. they were
greeted with enthusiastic cheers inter-
mingled with singing Rule Britannia"
The craft in the vicinity of Fairlie dis
played flags in honor of the departing
challenger.
The sound of the whistles and sirens
blowing in honor of the Shamrock was
deafening.
AS already cabled Shamrock will take a
southerly course. Captain Nogarth ex-
poets to reach New York within twenty
eight days, as he does not intend to push
the yacht to any extent. She is insured al
Lloyd's for 10000 pounds $780, eo0l. at five
per cent.

BOWLING.
GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, August 3.-Rac-
ing in the mud was the feature of the
grand circuit meeting to-day. After
three heats had been run, a.heavy thun-
der shower came UP, and drenched the
track. The home stretch was a sea of
mud for a short time, but the big crowd
waited impatiently until it had dried
sufficiently to permit the horses to CO.
1t was O'Clock before racing could be
resumed, and the two events were IN
ished before darkness interviewed.
The horses could not get within TWEEN
ty feet of the pole on the home stretch,
and with the big fields it was not easy
to get the horses off. The last four
heats were long mile ones, and, consid-
ering the track the time was very fast.

Taking into account the small size of
the moons surface compared TO the

about 5000 birds per hour passed during

Yesterday afternoon at twelve min
utes past two o'clock Miss Annie
Jones, aged twenty, daughter of Da-
vid Jones, was horribly burned by the
explosion OF a gasoline stove in the
kitchen of the family residence, No.
1926 Chapline street. The kitchen
opens on alley c, and the young woman
was ironing at the time. Through some
accident not we'll understood the reser-
voir of gasoline supplying the stove
exploded, and. the gasoline was thrown
over the woman, her clothing catching
fire instantly. Her screams at once
brought help, and while an alarm was
turned in from box No. 50. neighbors
went to the assistance of the girl. ex-
,inguished the fire. took her into a
neighboring house and summoned DR..
Rau. Miss Jones was found to be
burned over almost the entire surface
of her body and her injuries are very
serious. Last night the attending ply
stefan reported that she had rallied
we'll from the shock, but the ultimate
result is uncertain, as where one-half
to two-thirds of the body is burned the
result is generally fatal Miss Jones
is burned over at least three-fourths of
the body, and her. life is thus in the
balance.
The firemen were quickly at the
scene, the Niagara boys being first to
appear, and the blaze in the kitchen
was soon extinguished, with a loss of
perhaps forty or fifty dollars. On the
way to the fire the hook and ladder
truck, in attempting to avoid running
over child on Chapline street, and to
avoid huckster wagon at the same
time, hit telephone pole, but fortu-
nately no damage was done, although
it was close call from smashup.
During the fire Mr.. Jones, father Of
the burned girl, and his son jumped
from the window of the bed room over
the kitchen, where they were asleep,
but fortunately were not injured.

The following was handed us by
Hon. j. Davis Reid, chairman OF Sat-
urday's mass meeting, and explains
his rulings:
"Friend Hedden:
In order that Saturdays convention
be reported correctly, 1 make this
statement:
Pending the vote GU Chenault's sub
stitute, WoodfOrd, who was below me,
{ uched me and said he wanted TO
offer a motion. told him could
not entertain his motion at that time
and he was out of order; but after
had announced the vote Oh the sub
stitute 1 looked around for Woodford
Intending to get him before the con-
vention, but at this junctnre parties
were pulling and hauling each other.
Just then the motion to adjourn was
made by several parties and duly sec.
onded. and l put the vote and it was
carried Overwhelmingly. At this
iuncture some one pushed me Ct pre-
sumo accidentally of the steps. Mr..
WoodfOrd could have offered an
amendment to Chensulrs substitute
If he had been in a position to do so,
but a new motion pending a vote on
substitute l declared out of order
and the only way he could ever have
gotten before the Convention was by
from decision of the Chair,
which was not done.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1899-06-20
THE OUTLOOK.

Hardin's managers claim foi
him 465; Stone, 400, and Goebel,
$50. Stone will control his vote,
as will also Goebel, and Hardin
not having sufficient votes to elect
him, Goebel, if unable to draw
from Hardin and Stone by reason
Of his hold on his vote, would turn
the nomination to Stone rather
than see Hardin again in the saddle
and on a loosing horse. Then at
any time should it become appar:
ent that Goebel would out live
him Harding and the fight would
be between Stone and Goebel
Hardin would turn his vote to
Stone. Therefore, Stone is ap-
parently the winning candidate.
The $50 votes more counted by
Hardin are speculative and there
is no show whatever of Hardin
being elected on first ballot and if
he fails in this the most formidable
is Stone.

MASS MEETING.

1t was Grant who said, Demo
Gratis could be depended on to act
the fool at the proper time. If
there ever was a time for Demo
Gratis to stand as a solid rock on
all questions it is now. Every
Democratic minority should not
forget that it is Democracy to al
low majorities to rule. Now, it
was evident on last Saturday that
Stone had the majority of the
votes in the mass meeting by
large odds and with this as a fact
there was but one thing to be
done by his opposers, viz; With
draw opposing resolutions and in
struct tor him.
That meeting was regularly
called, every step taken according
to the statement made by its
Chairman. Mr.. Reid was regu-
larly elected. Mr.. Woodford
should have offered his resolutions
