Cycling.
Made Him Dizzy

A former salt Laker writes to one
OF the local papers giving an account
or the bicycle races held recently at
Madison Square Garden Among
other things he says. Talk about
speed; the fellows hit a pace that would
make the Terrible Sweede dizzv and
kept it up FOR six days and six nights. -
Let's see about this The average
speed OF the siX-day riders for team
or two men was a trifie over eighteen
miles an hour, while the "Sweede"
alone maintained an average speed of
twenty miles an hour for tvrenty-fou~
hours III his race with TurVilIe last fall
at the salt Palace and he did. not APP
pear dizzy at that
The correspondent further says:
During the evening Major Taylor and
Michael gave exhibition runs that took
my breath away" The fastest mile
ever ridden at the Garden was in 1877
while Charlie TurviHe negotiated the
same distance at the Salt Palace in 1:32.
When ever anybody talks Of speed on a
cycle track then is the time to refer
them to the records made on the local
saucer.

A PRISONERS TRICKS.
Row Frank Carson Fooled JaiIer Sol
Kimball.

BUncoed and hoodwinked by the
clever tricks OF prisoners, was the sur
prising discovery made by Doctor"
Kimball of The city Jail, yesterday, and
he also learned that he had been the
victim OF systematic hood winking in
matters medical for over
week. The discovery of the
buncOe game was made yesterday
through a clever trick put in OPP
Grafton by Frank Carson, the prisoner
who made an attempt to escape from
the chain gang a few days ago. The
day after his dash for liberty the pTis-
Oner developed a severely swollen ankle
which he said he had sustained in the
attempt to get away. He was treated
for what was supposed 10 be sprain,
but the swelling continued to spread up
the prisoners limb and the latter set
up vail to be turned loose, declaring
he would lose his leg If forced to stay
In that jail.
DR.. Witcher was called in and found
on examining Carson that he had tied
q bandage around his ankle and caused
the swelling by shutting off the flow of
blood and had caused the swelling to
spread by moving the bandage up the
leg. The marks where the banGage had
been were plainly to be seen, although
the bandage had been removed by the
prisoner.
The doctor also discovered that two
or three other prisoners who had been
sick" for over a week past. were not
SCI at al.
Carson also has been very mean and
unruly since his confinement. He was
placed in the dark dungeon under the
city hall yesterday, where he was pro-
vfded with everything to make him
comfortable and where the doctor viii
visit him every day. The prisoner
hoW-led like a mad man when he was
taken 40 the place, cursed the officers
and fought when he was searched, but
his anger quieted down after few
minutes in the dark hole. When lie
was searched bunch Of horse hair.

SHAH TOO PROGRESSIVE.
Revolt Breaks Out in Persia While He
Is Away.

Men. York. August 2S,-A dispatch to
the Times from London says your CORE
spondent learns from a thoroughly we'll
informed source that a serious :nsurrec-
ton has broker out in Persia. which may
in all probability cause the sl.ah's visit
to Europe to be curtailed.
The object of the revol is to dethrone
the present shah, whose fondness for
western ideas makes him unpopular to
Perrsians of the old school. and to place
his brother OF the throne.
No advices have reached here SO far
regarding the extent of success OF thi
revolutionary movement. but a telegram
announcing the fact has just been hand
ed to the shah in Brussels.
The shah himself is disposed to make
light of the affair, which, nevertheless,
is extremely grave. IA view of the I'M
settled state of the far east.
He has every confidence that the pre-
cautions in view of such a contingency
which the gfs nd vizier took before his
master started IN his European trip.
will prove sufficient to cen with the sit
uation. The i~nsurrection, however, has
been carefully MANNED. fer it has taken
the shah and his ministers completely
by surprise.
