Murphy, and he rode the mile In sixty.five

and in as sportsmanike manner as any
bicycle ever was ridden. His sole advan-
tage was a locomotive with one car at
tached, which set the pace and enabled
him to ride in partial vacuum. No
straps or two ropes or harness was EN-
ployed. He rode naturally, simply keep
ing close to the car by rapid pedaliDg,
stout heartedness, and strength Of mind
and body. 1t was a wonderful perform
anee and spectacle of thrilling interest.

CARRIERS FUTURE PRISON.
Fort Leavenworth Penitentary and the

Fort Leavenworth Penitentary and the
Industries of Its Inmates.
The Fort Leavcnworth Penitentary.
to which Captain Carter has been or
dered. was not originally intended for
a prison. says the New York Tribune.
1t was built as a group Of brick ware
houses for merchandise. and stands on
the edge of the military reservation.
whose lines were made to include it
when it became a prison. Although
the original intention was that none
but military prisoners should be con-
fined there. the recent transfer of the
prison from the custody of the War
Department to that of the Department
of Justice makes it available for the
reception of offenders Of all classes
sentenced in United states Courts.
When the warehouses; We're taken into
the military lines q tWentv-foot wall
was built around them, and the interior
arrangements were made to include
tiers of cells.
The present pcnitcntiary has accom-
lnodations for only eight hundred and
fifty convicts. but the government de-
cldcd three years ago to build another
penitcniary about two miles from the
old one with provisions for twelve hun
dred prisoners. Upon the completion
OF this il is understood that the old
renitcntiary Will again be used cxclu-
Sively for military purposes.
In the Fort I-cavcnworth prison tho
convicts are employed in brickmas king.
Stonccu;ting and kindred works. Each
group of men is under skilled boss
and incentives are held out to them in
the way of promotion to do their work
as well as possible. The convicts bake
their own brick and do their own quar-
1ying On fine days they are marched
from The old Dcnitcntiary TO tn" sit, Of
the now one and are employed in th,
work going on there.
It is not believed that y prisoner of
Captain Carriers education will he put
at work in the kilns or stoncyartls, ana
1t seems likely that he Will have work
where his engineering ability will mean
saving 70 the government. Under the
usual rule Of communication for good be-
havior he will gain two months in each
or the five years Of his sentence for
good behavior. which would reduce the
iuil period TO four years and sixty days

\ sad story comes by private sources

to the st. Louis Globe Democrat. For
two years the Wife of a prisoner has
lived ut Huntsville, supporting herself
time for tho expiration of the scntcn
of her husband. who has only another
year to serve. 1t appears that his trou-
bic was caused because Of his devotion
to his Wife. with whom he was much in
love. During the time the woman lived
in Huntsville, she has regularly visited
him on every occasion permitted by the
prison rules, ana a most loving couple
they were. Last Saturday she decided,
after much persuasion. that Il free man
was better than one in the pcnlcntiary.
and decided to marry Il man who had
impOrtuncd her for :, few weeks. She
at once applied for n divorce on the
ground that her husband had been con
Nictcd Of a felony which is 4 statuary
cause in Texas. Her lawyer went To
the pcnitcntiary to serve the process on
the husband, VINO was working in the
wood yard. Then he suddenly raised
mis- sharp AK in his left hand, SO the
story goes. and. with ono blow. smotc
off his right arm just below the elbow.
Dropping the bloody AK, he picked M
