THE VAILSBURG RACES.
5000 Persons Witnessed theiContests-
 Five Mile Professional.

Newark, N. J., Aug. 24.-Five thou sand spectators witnessed exciting bi-
 cycle races at the Vailsburg track this afternoon. The weather was perfect and the finishes were close. The entry list was heavy, which caused crowding
 in some of the contests and many bad falls. One man was carried from the track unconscious.
 The five-mile race for professionals was unique in that no similar race was ever held in this country. The contest
 was arranged for gruelling battle,
 and such it proved to be. There was a
 prize of $5 each for the lap winners and
 a prize of $50 for the leader of each
 mile. Thirty-one started and the pace at the end of three miles and only ten
 men finished the five miles.
 Champion Kramer and Mcfarland composed one team, Martin and Beau
 champ another and the two Bedells a
 third Keegan and Butler also teamed,
 as did Kuhlke and De Palma. Kramer
 captured the prizes for the first, second,
 third and fifth miles, while Armbruster
 won at four miles. The time for the
 race was 10:45 1-5.
 The two-mile consolation for profess
 sionals was won by Butler after stir ring finish with Sullivan and Stevens.
 In the amateur races Hurley seemed beaten in the half-mile, but he sDrinted in the stretch and managed to beat Bill lington at the tape by about two inches.

GENERAL SIGEL's FUNERAL.
Fellow Veterans of Wars in Two
 memlspheres Attend.

New York. Aug. 24.-Taps was sound- ed to-day for General Franz Sigel. Sim pie and unostentatious was his funeral. Surrounding the flag covered coffin wherein lay the dead general attired in the well-worn uniform he used during the war, stood the few surviving com rades who had fought shoulder to shoul- der with the veteran in wars in two hemispheres Some of those spoke sim pie eulogies, and then the body was carried to its last resting place in Woodlawn cemetery, followed by a long and ragged line of scared and crippled veterans bearing with them tattered flags.
 Conspicuous among those who paid tribute to the memory of General Sigel was Carl Schurz, his comrade at arms, first in the great uprising which swept Europe in 1S48 and later in the civil war. As Mr. Schurz stood by the bier of his dead friend and recalled the bat ties where they had fought together he gave way to emotion and had to lean heavily on the lid of the coffin.
 For three hours the body lay in state, and during that time at least 10000 per- sons filed past.

SUNDAY BASEBALL.
National League.

Cincinnati, Aug. 24.--Cincinnati and Pittsburg broke even in the double header here to-day. The former lost the first game through their many er- TOTS at critical stages. The largest crowd that ever attended a ball game at Cincinnati was on the field, there be- ing nearly 25,O00 people. The crowd surged on the field so that ground rules calling for only two bases when ball was hit into the crowd had to be made. Phillips pitched good ball in the first up to the sixth inning when the errors confused him. In the second game the Cincinnati team landed on Cushman for nine hits in the third inning and this combined with their three bases on balls gave them good majority. The game was called in the seventh on account of the Pittsburg team having to catch a train. Score first gamer

DISASTROUS FREIGHT WRECK.
Three Men Killed on Southern RaiI-
 way; Two Badly Injured.

St. Louis, Aug. 24.-A special from New Albany, Ind, says:
 In a, disastrous freight wreck on the Southern Railway near Georgetown, ten miles west of here early to-day, En- gineer Duval, Fireman Cox and Brake man Ross Of one train were killed out = right and Engineer Goodall and Fire man Myers of the other train were probably fatally hurt Fourteen box cars loaded with wheat, with two loco- motives were tumbled over a trestle to a ravine forty feet below and were de- molished. All traffic on the Southern Railway between Louisville and St. Louis has been blocked.
 Two sections of the through freight were coming east, and the first section in charge of Conductor Avis had stopped at Duncans to switch. leaving a "cut" of cars on the main track. There is a heavy grade at this point and by some means the cars broke away and rolled down the track, gain ing momentum at each revolution of the wheels. Just as the runaway cars were approaching the trestle the sectond sec ton drawn by two big engines came laundering over the hill and the crash occurred a moment later. The cars piled over the locomotives and all went down into the ravine in a heap. The loss to the railroad company will amount to about $75,000.

CONDITION OF MR. HOVE.
Sery Low Yesterday-The Use of Oxygen
 ResOrted To.

The condition of Elbridge L. Howe yesterday was exceedingly critical. On Friday night the fever increased and the patients temperature went to a high figure. Yesterday there were a few indications of encouraging nature, but the administration of oxygen was resorted to. Twice on Saturday night MT. Howe had sinking spells. Dr. Del afield, the noted specialist, who was summoned, was unable to come here on Saturday night, but Dr. Fleck, one of the oldest and most skillful practitiOn- CTS in New York, came during the night and resorted to heroic measures as a last resort. MT. Howe seemed to have enough vitality left to respond to the treatment to slight degree, and it par tially relieved the complications of lung, heart and spinal weakness which have developed in addition to the typhoid the past three or four days. Dr. Fleck. who is seventy-two years old, remained with Dr. E. l.. R. Thomson by the side of MT. Howe all Saturday night and part of yesterday.
 Last evening the hope was expressed that if MT. Howe pulled through until this afternoon there would be a chance for his recovery.
 At 2:30 o'clock this morning MT. Howe was resting quietly and there was no apparent change in his condition from that of the fore part of the night, while oxygen was being administered. Dr. Thomson spent the night at Mir Howe's S residence in order to watch for any possible change which might occur and at the time above indicated he had laid down for a needed rest.

ROOSEVELT 4 CTS AS GODFATHER
Christens Child of Mr. and Mrs. Win-
 throp Chanler at Newport.

Nahant, Mass, Aug. 24.-President Roosevelt left Newport to-day at two o'clock in sumptuous train of four special cars. Accompanying him to the depot were MT. and Mrs Winthrop Chanler and Senator and Mrs. Lodge, the two latter journeying with the par where the president will spend the night.
 A more quiet day could not have been spent by the president. As is his cus- tom, he rose early and after eating a. light breakfast left the Chanler house about o'clock. and went out to meet Mrs. Roosevelt, who had come up on the Sylph during the night
 The president was about the ship for about two hours and Mrs. Roosevelt left for home shortly after his return to the Chanler villa, where the ceremony of christening the baby was performed by Rev. John Diamond, of the Episco-
 pal church, in the presence of. the pres ident, who acted as godfather; Senator and Mrs. Lodge, the latter acting as godmother; Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and
 a. large number of the personal friends of the family. The affair was regarded as one of the most suspicious events of
 the season at that fashionable resort, due not only to the social prominence of the Chanlers, but to the fact that the president of the United States would act as godfather to the child, for whom it was named.
 Traveling on Sunday was something new for the president, but in this in- stance he was obliged to depart from
 his usual custom. as he went to New port for no other purpose than to at- tend the christening, and it was neces
 sary to make the short journey to Na- hant to-day in order to maintain his schedule.

Yandell endeavored to jump but was crushed between the telescoped cars and died hanging by his right leg. Motorman Golden of the other car applied his air brakes as soon as he saw the danger, the collision oc- curing on a curve. and then tried to jump, as did Linwood Fentress, ten years old. Both Golden and young Fentress were caught un- der the platform of the shore bound car, which piled upon the other, and were killed outright. Golden head was almost torn from his body and both legs were cut off. The Fen tress boy was crushed to death. Both cars were full of Sunday excursionists and few escaped uninjured, There is no complete list of the injured. R. P. Waller, a brother of Major L. W. T. Waller, U. s. M. C., was on board one of the cars and sustained serious in- juries. He was taken to his home on Pembroke avenue. M. V. Ahern,. of the Virginian- Pilot, was injured internally. Benjamin Rowson. managing editor of the Humorist, also sustained serious in- juries. MT. Corliss nephew of Major Waller, was badly injured internally
 A coroner viewed the dead and took some testimony, but adjourned until Wednesday.

 Manila, Aug. 24.-The defense in the Freedom sedition case has called Cow ernor Taft as a witness to show that many of the former insurgent leaders who were guilty of various offenses not recognized by the laws of war have been appointed to civil positions. Gov erl1or Taft gave testimony to the effect that many such former insurgents had been appointed, but that they had prov- ed honest, straightforward and earnest. He said that some of them had been guilty of murder from American stand ards, but that from their own stand point they undoubtedly believed their conduct of the war to have been legiti- mate. 2"
