MOTOR CYCLE ACCIDENT.
Starbuck and Wilkinson Seriously
Injured at Baltimore.

New York, Aug. S.-Frank Starbuck
of Philadelphia, and w. ]. Wilkinson
of Baltimore, cyclists of national re-
pute, were seriously hurt at Baltimore
last night, says a special from that
city. They are at the Johns Hopkins
hospital and Starbuck, it is feared, may
lose a leg.
The accident occurred at the Coliseum
bowl in the second heat of the motor
race. Miller and Judge were matched
against Starbuck and w J. Wilkinson.
The race was stubbOrnly contested up
to the third mile. when Miller and
Judge took a squirt and their machine
dashed along to a place at the side of
their opponents, behind whom they had
been trailing up to that time As they
forged ahead they cut too near their
rivals in an endeavor to get the inside
track. Millers pedal caught the front
tire of the other and threw it aside.
Wilkinson lost his head as his wheel
was twisted out of control, and the big
motor dashed at terrific speed over the
side of the bowl right into the audience.
Wilkinson and Starbuck were thrown
violently into the seats which the terri
fed spectators had hurriedly vacated
Both men were picked up in an uncon-
sciOus condition and removed to the
hospital The dispatch adds that Star
bucks leg will be amputated at once.

CATTLE PLUNGER CAUGHT.
Had Lost 100000 of a Commission
Firms Money.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. "a special
from Ell Paso, Tex. says:
A man arrested near this city ten days
ago, confessed to the sheriff last night
that his name was George r. Landers,
and that he had borrowed 100000 from
the Evans-Snyder-B company of
Kansas City, on cattle that afterwards
died. He said he took advantage Of the
bankruptcy law in the court at Wichita,
Kan, a year ago and then went into
hiding. The man was driving overland
from Mexico.
About a year ago it was alleged the
firm lost heavily through the operations
of Landers, but the officials disclaimed
knowledge of anything criminal in the
transaction and apparently no effort was
made to locate Landers. Today Mr.. Sny-
der, senior member of the firm, declined
to state what action, if any, his firm
would take to hold Landers.

JOHNSON FOR THE CABINET
Kansas Man Not Considered Sena
torial Aspiraut

A dispatch from Kansas City states that
it is understood J. G.. Johnson is to be
United States senator from Kansas in
the event of fusion success.
Among the politicians this ambition is
not accredited to Johnson. because it has
been understood for several months that
in the event Bryan is elected Johnson is
to have a place in the cabinet, which pre-
cludes the expense of a canvass for SEN
ator, which also takes q chance on the
legislative situation in Kansas.

The PLAY Last Night.

The Browns In Town company gave a
splendid representation Of that most ex-
cellent farce comedy last night at the
Park opera house.
With one or two exceptions, and
the exceptions strengthened the
company the cast was the same
as presented here in the latter part Of
last spring. The leading man Mr.. Geo.
WEIGH had been added to the company
since playing here last and he added
much strength to the character, over the
presentation of Dick Preston by the par
ty who last played it in this city.
The farce is a good and wholesome
one one which can and could be enjoy
ed by almost any one who loves a good
laugh. The situations in the play were
very mirth provoking without any sem
blance OF suggestiveness and was an e1-
ception to the general rules OF farce
work, which descends SO frequnetly to
the parlance OF the street and takes it's
language from the Paris slums.
Maud True Knowlton, played the
character of the leading lady, and she
certainly deserves credit for the very
painstaking manner in which she pre-
sents the character Of Lefty, She is a
very handsome woman on the stage and
je credited with considerable versatility
as an actress by the critics throughout
the country.
Miss Jessie M. Halls, who played Su-
zanne, always charms her audience by
her petite ways and very pleasant man
ner on the stage. Last night, as one OF
the special parts she sang several sslec-
tions and in response to an encore sang
very sweetly indeed the great Scotch
ballad "Ccmin Thro The Rye"
G. H. Elmer, who played the part OF
the gardner and who was readily re-
membered by all who had heard the
piece before. carried the house by storm
in his specially parts. His whistling in
imitation OF country band convulsed
the house with laughter and he was re-
called several times.
Altogether the piece WAS very enjoya-
BILE and thoroughly deserved the very
fair house which greeted it at the Park.

Why Tower. Not Castle, of London

LondOn's most famous historical
building was named the Tower" and
not the Castle" of London. Most
fOrtresses of Norman construction in
England keep the name of castle. Lon
don's Norman fortress alone bears an
other title. The reason is to be found
in the methods of Norman military ar
chitecture. Norman fortress was
constructed of a tower or keep, with an
attendant castle, each having the same
relative Importance. The first consta-
BILE of the Tower called himself "con-
stable of the Tower of London and it's
attendant CASTLE Whereas in the
case of most such buildings in England
the name castle has survived longest,
in the case of the principal fOrtresses.
at the capitals of Normandy and of
Norman England the tower was the
chief part of the Notifications. Thus
the castle at Rouen, like the castle at
London, always has been called the
Tour de ROuen. The White Tower
was SO called because it's builder, Hen
~ III, whitewaShed it.
