Accident Witnessed by
Two Thousand People
Who We e Assembled
at the Race Track at
Aspen--Skull Crushed

The following account of the horrible
accident which resulted in the death Of
L. D. Christopher, former we'll known
resident of Mesa county, is taken from
the News OF Denver.
Many old timers in Mesa county will
remember Mr.. Christopher. He left
this city several years ago and moved to
point near Aspen, engaging in the
dairying business.
"Aspen-Two thousand people wit
Messed a distressing accident at the race
track this evening that resulted in tho
death Of L. d. Christopher, an old and
prominent citizen of this section. Mr..
Christopher owns a ranch and dairy
three miles below Aspen aud raises some
fine stock.
"This afternoon he drove to town two
large stations hitched to cart. He
had his rig gaily decorated with the ma
tional colors. In company with his two
little sons he drove about town and lat
or TO the driving park, where races we're
in progress. -
"The animals became frightened at the
band and the cheering OF tho people and
Christopher, putting his children down,
startsd to drive from the grounds. The
horses dashed through the gate and be-
came unmanageable. A few hundred
feet further on the team left the road
and smashed the vehicle against pile
of boulders.
"Mr. Christopher was hurled violently
to the ground, his head being crushed
by striking a rock. Death was instan-
taneous. After running a mile the team
was stopped, not badly injured.
"The deceased man was about 80 years
old and leaves wife two sons and a
daughter"

MAY DELAY DEWEY.

Hongkong-The plague is likely to
complicate the home e-coming Of Admiral
Dewey. Various governments have al
ready declared severe quarantine regu
lations against all Egyptian Red sea
ports and Hong Kong, where the fresh
cases and tho number Of deaths have
already doubled in the past week, the
new cases numbering 143 and the deaths
1874.
Admiralty officials say that warshipe
have no privileges as regards quarantine
beyond those Of merchant ships, the
main point to be considered being
whether the ship is infected or there be
sickness aboard BY the time Admira
Dewey arrives at the Mediterranean, hii
ship, the Olympia, having been 80 long
out from Hong Kong, il there are NJ
cases abroad, will probably be regarded
ss immune and inspectors will pass hel
without delay.

The Best spring-Time Tonic--A seashore
Trip.

When spring-time comes, after the dull,
heavy winter weather, we all feel the need
of something TO tone up the system. For
merly this was done by the use of bitter de-
coctions but nowadays the knowing ones
have found that the best tonic is trip to the
ocean beach, and the practice of spending n
few days on the Shore is finding more and
more devotees every year, so much so that
the Seaside Hotels make extra arrans ements
to accommodate the early Spring visitors.
Atlantic City, with its numerous opeu-all-
the-yeaT hotels. sun parlors and magnificent
boardwals with a southern exposure, giving
promenaders splendid view of the ocean
while inhaling the warm invigorating salt
air waited up from the gulf stream, is es-
pecially suited for the purpose, and through
the good train service of the Philadelphia &
Reading route (Atlantic City r. r. has
quick railroad connection with all points.
Fast trains leave Chestnut St. and South st.
Ferries at convenient hours and through
tickets are sold and baggage checked through
from or to all points on the Philadelphia &
Reading Railway and its connections.
We would also call the attention of the
travelling public to the fact that Philadelphia
& Reading engines burn hard coal, thus
avoiding smoke. The Atlantic City Railroad
is double track all the way, and is ballasted
with anthracite cinders thus eliminating the
very disagreeable feature of dust, and that

7HEPROSECUTION RESTS
In the Conspiracy Trial of Ex-Sen-
atOr M. S. Quay.
EX-TRBAsURER BOYER TEsTIFIBs

lie was Not Permitted to Make a
Statement In Reply to the District
Attorneys Allegations That He Had
Received Interest on state Funds.
Philadelphia, April 2O.-Unexpected-
ly to almost every person interested,
the prosecution in the trial of ex-Uni-
ted States Senator Quay closed its
case yesterday after nine days full of
argument, clashes of counsel and testi-
mony largely of an expert nature.
From the evidence already presented
it is apparently evident that the COM
monwealth depends largely for con-
viction upon the testimony of its ex-
pert, Meyer Goldsmith, as to his inter-
pretations of the accounts in the red
book" and other books of the Peoples
bank, and upon the jury's opinion of
the books, papers, letters kilograms
and checks offered in evidence. AS to
what extent the testimony of the de-
fense's expert, should he be called, may
Offset Mr.. Goldsmith's testimony re-
mains to be seen. The contention of
the defense in argument and cross
examination has been that the calcu-
ldllOub VI MI. are nOl bOIub
out by the books, but on the other
hand show that Mr.. Quay did not use
state money nor receive interest on
state deposits, and that whatever loans
he received were made in the custom
ary manner and backed by sufficient
collateral.
Yesterdays proceedings were devoid
of sensational features. The dry rou-
tine of figures and involved explana-
tions of accounts took up most of the
time. Mr.. Goldsmith's cross examina-
tion was concluded and redirect ex-
animation was begun by Mr.. Rother-
mel. The points brought out by him
were that the cash account and in
terest account of the bank were de-
ficient by the omission of certain sums
received as interest; that it was Gus
tomary to designate call loans by
initials instead of names. Upon the
question of Mr.. Quay's balances in the
deposit account from May, 1895, to Oc-
tober, S97, Mr.. Goldsmith said:
'In 1896, on June %, the balance was
s2.5o; on Nov. "a, $2,777.66; on Nov.
2S, again S256; in 1897, on Jan z, 30
cents; on Oct. 26, $10,00050, and on
Oct. 27, 80 cents, at which It remained
TILL the end OF the month. Those are
all the variations from april 80, 1896,
to Oct 81, 1897"
Director of the Mint Henry X. Boyer
was on the stand, and after testifying
to paying interest in October, 1897, on
call loan asked permission to make
a statement in reply to the district at
torney's allegations that he received
interest on state money while state
treasurer from May, 1889, to May,
1891. His request was not allowed,
but the court stated all records of re-
plies to those questions were stricken
out under the courts ruling.
The last witness heard was Charles
H. Mckee, of Pittsburg, who was
originally included in the charge OF
conspiracy with the Quays and Hay
wood, but the bill against whom was
ignored by the grand jury. He admit
ted receiving four payments of interest
on the states deposit in the Peoples
bank, and said he received it as an
attorney, and for the purpose of pro-
tecting the bondsman of Haywood
from loss.
