A MILE IN l:59.
Dan Patch Fixes a New Worlds Rec.
ord for PAGERS, Looping Off
1A Seconds.

New York, Aug. 22.-Dan Patch broke
the worlds record for PAGERS by pacing a
mile in 1883 at Brighton Beach today.
II was q magnificent performance, II
seemed an impossibility, as there was a
stiff breeze blowing and the track was
q little slow. The effect OF the wind was
somewhat discounted by sending "A runner
In front, while the second runner gal
loped alongside. In view OF the adverse
condition the announcement was made
that he would go against the track
record Of 2:00A, but would also try to beat
the worlds record OF 1859, held jointly by
himself and Star Pointer.
When the unbeated PAGER, Dan Patch,
that never lost n race, appeared on the
track he was loudly cheered and after a
few preliminary warmups he got the
word. With a swift, frictionless stride he
shot from the wire and seemed to be de-
termined to push his nose into the flying
sulky in front OF him which the thorough
bred In the shafts was steadily pulling
ahead. On swept the famous PAGER TO
the quarter In :29A, and when the half
mile pole was flashed past in :5SA a great
volume of cheers went up form the vast
crowd. Then came the difficult top turn,
and the slowest quarter of the mics en-
sued, the t~hree-quarters being done in
1:20h. But down the stretch al swift and
steady as a locomotive he came and as he
shot under the wire the watches stopped
at 1859.
The new champion was not at all dis
tressed, and looked as If he will be able
before the season is over to beat his own
record. The betting was even money,
either for or against his beating the rec.

Is Proposed to Run Him for Governor
of Massachusetts,.

Boston, Aug. 22.-Lieutenant General
Nelson A. Miles, United States army,
retired. Is being advocated as the dem
ocratic candidate for governor this fall
by the anti CASTOR faction. According
to those who do not approve OF the
nomination of Colonel William A. Gas
ton, the nomination of General Miles
would absolutely unity the party In
the state. Further, they are sufficient
ly optimistic to believe that his can
didacy would appeal to enough repub-
leans to insure his election.
They point out that he would get the
old soldier vote almost solid, regard
less Of party, and that public sympa-
thy, resulting from the circumstances
attending his retirement from the
army, would operate greatly to his ad-
vantage at the polls. Further, that
the republican element which Is OPP
posed to Governor Bates would as will
ingly vote for General Miles as for
Colonel CASTOR.
These enthusiasts figure that under
present conditions, while Colonel Gas
ton might win, General Miles would
sweep the state and put him in line
for the democratic nomination for. pres
ident or vice president. If elected gov
ernor of Massachusetts, it is believed
that he could carry the national con-
vention in 1904, and as against Presi-
dent Roosevelt stand an excellent
chance of winning the presidency.
George Fred Williams, the Massachu-
sets member Of the democratic nation
al committee, has not been favorable to
the denomination of Colonel CASTOR
and his friends say he would welcome
the advent Of General Miles as a AN

MCCALL IN CABINET.
New York Life Man Denies He Would

New York, Aug. 21.-The rumor that
President Roosevelt had rendered the post
of secretary of war to Colonel john "A.
Mccall. president Of the New York Life
Insurance meets with approval
here, but also with skepticism. 1t Is felt
that the president would do well to In
gratiate himself with Wall street by plac-
ing in his cabinet a man who Is well
known in financial circles, but 1t is thought
questionable whether he will do so and
also whether Mr.. Mccall, with his multi
farious business interests, would accept
the portfolio.
Later this opinion was rendered certain
by a statement from Colonel Mccall deny
ing the rumor.
THE story is untrue" he said. NO such
post has been offered to me ard l would
not accept 1t If 1t were offered"

Mand From Tennessee Arrested and
Confident Of Aoquittal.

Confident Of AequittaI.
Charlottesville, Ind, Aug. a.
James Lewis Meyers, arrested for a
murder committed twenty seven years
ago. and said he looked Onward to the
first peaceful sleep since 1875, when he
became a fugitive.
The man is known I'm his Tennessee
home as James Lewis. a Successful
lumber dealer. He came back to Craw-
louisville because he wanted to visit
his old home and relatives.
He relied upon his changed appear
ance to disguise him from the few who
might remember the killing at Oar
lington so long ego.
Meyers say the killing was done In
self defense, and now hat he has
money to engage lawyers he Is conn7
dent of clearing the cloud that has
darkened his life.
In 1875 Meyers, Is years of age was
a timber buyer at Darlington. He got
into an alteration with Branson
Sloan. The latter was drunk n
threatened to kill his employer be-
cause he had refused to furnish him
money to attend a dance. Meyers, In
a fight hat followed, killed Sloan with
a knife.
There was no Jail at Darlington, SC
the murderer was locked In a school
mouse. lHdt ulbHt he SSNdpcu dliu
never was heard from until today.
An old acquaintance recognized him
and he was arrested.
In Hiding Many Years.
After his escape, Meyers made his
way afoot to southern Illinois. where
for several years ne buried himself In
the timber, stunning civilization. He
contracted his name and as James
Lewis has been known since.
For years i'll fortune pursued him,
and he began to think IL was retribu-
ton for his crime. He was ready to
give himself up, when he secured a
contract which netted him several hun
dred dollars, and he decided to try his
fortune in a new country. In the
meantime his wife had Joined him and
they moved to Benton county, Tonnes
see. Fortune smiled there and Myers Is
now in comfortable circumstances.
Now that he has been arrested he
says a great load has been lifted from
his conscience. The arrest was made
on an indictment returned November Z,
1878, which still is in force. One OF his
attorneys was on the circuit bench
when the original Indictment was re.
turned.
