Trots Fast Milo but Could Not Brsay
 His Record. lss

Philadelphia Sept. 26.-Cresceus, thu
 king of trotters, to-day failed to lower
 his record of 2:02 IA, made at Colum- H
 bus on August 2, in trial on the Bel-
 mont Driving Park course. The greats.
 son of Robert McGregor stepped the
 mile in 2:04 1-2 without a skip and
 thereby reduced the track record of { 2:08 3-4 made by Alix on November [, 1894. Everything was conducive to fine time. The track was lightning fast and < there was not enough breeze to intar. fere with the progress of the great trot~ ter. XS3
 There were nearly 5000 persons pres- ent when Owner Ketcham hroughtf Cresceus on the track for his first jogs He warmed him up in the stretch for a few minutes and then logged him around the track in 2:31 1-2. After d rub down Cresceus was brought for his 8 preliminary trial. Without 6 pace maker he di dthe mile in 2:13 If.
 It was APO when the horse made hi1S < appearance for the final effort at record breaking. After scoring only oncG Ketcham gave the starter the nod and the great trotter was off paced by a s runner attached to sulky. When the N first quarter was reached in 30 1-4 everybody thought the record would Y surely be broken. The second quarter on the straight back stretch was made in 30 3-4, but the third was fraction of a second lower Turning into the # home stretch Ketcham urged the tr0t-| ting machine to his utmost. but th8 x best he could do was 31 1-2 second4 for M the quarter As the horse flashed u1i der the wire a great shout went ur from the crowd, which immediateJs swarmed around the horse and ownef. MT. Ketcham had no excuse to offer fo1s the failure to break the record, sayings the track and weather were favorAble. Summary: 2:04 1-2 Time by quar- ters: 30 IA, 1:O1, 1:33, 2:O4 1-2.

Wood, who commanded the dispatch boat Dupont during the Spanish war, began his testimony. Machinist Gray who was in charge of the starboard engines on the day of the battle of Santiago, also testified briefly.
 He said that on the day of the battle the starboard engines were stopped and the machinery reserved. Captain Wise was questioned at considerable length as to what he had done before the ar rival of the flying squadron off San tiago towards locating Cervera's fleet in the harbor. He said that while he had satisfied himself of the presence of the Spaniards, he had been content to communicate his knowledge to Admiral Schley through Captain Sigsbee, not considering it necessary to make direct communication with the commander in- chief.
 Lieutenant Wood gave the particu lars of his delivery of dispatches from Admiral Sampson to Admiral Schley on the 22nd of May, while the admiral lay off Cienfuegos He said that Schley seemed very nervous and especially anxious to know what Sampson's inten-

ProgressIve Dinners.

The progressive dinner party is one
of the novelties of the season. 1t is a
unique affair and is probably enjoying
its popularity for that very reason. AS
one matron says, 1t Is IDEAL Of trouble
and causes no end of confusion" The
confusion Is of the kind, though, that
reigned when going to Jerusalem" in
our days of short frocks and knicker-
bockers, and everybody knows what a
lot of fun that was.
OF course at n progressive dinner the
confusion is slightly moderated, just as
our frocks have grown longer and the
heightened into trou-
sers.
A progressive dinner is one at which
the men change seats with one another
In rotation at the end of each course.
The walters carry along the wineglass-
es. The object of the change, of course,
Is to provide new sets of partners as
often as possible.

A Boom In Knngaroo..

There was boom in kangaroos some
years ago. 1t will be remembered that
a boxing kangaroo was exhibited In
London at the aquarium. 1t drew such
crowds that every other place Of enter
tainment had to have its boxing kan
CARGO. But kangaroos were not to be
had In such numbers, and some re-
sorted to the clumsy expedient of cloth
ing man In kangaroo skin. Even
SO. the demand remained unsatisfed,
and cables were sent out to Australia
to agents and the captains of ships ly-
ing there to bring over as many kan
garoos as they could find. Kangaroos,
consequently, which before were prac-
tically unstable, bounded up to f10O
apiece. Now they are again unstable
and are heard of only in connection
with rather rich soup that is made of
their tails.-Chambers' Journal.

TRAIN WRECKED.
Two Killed and at Least Thirty In
jured.

JotSds
Pittsburg, June 25.-Train No. %,
known as the Cleveland flyer, was
wrecked at Monaco, about 80 miles
west of here, last evening and at least
two persons are dead and probably 80
hurt. The dead are j. w. Cunning
ham, fireman of the train, lived at Nc
KEGS Rocks, Pa; Larry, or Lowry,
Black, baggagemaster, of Mount Wash
ington, Pittsburg.
= From passengers 1t is learned that
the train, while going at very fast
speed, ran into an open switch at Mo-
naca and the entire train went over
an embankment some 25 feet high.
Every car was turned over, two Of
them going over twice.
The flyer" which left here at 4:30
for Cleveland, had its coaches well
filed with passengers, and the wonder
Is that there were not more fatalities.
Fireman Cunningham, when taken
from the wreck, was found to be hor-
ribly crushed. His death must have
been instantaneous.
AS soon as the news of the wreck
reached the city Supt. Yohe summoned
corps of physicians and took them
to the scene on a special relief train.
This train returned here with the dead
and number of the injured, when an
other train was at once dispatched to
Monaco, which gives currency to the
report that many more are hurt than
as yet made known.
