SLAUGHTER BY AUTOS.
faris-Madrid Al = hr Race May BE Aban-
aoned 'tt'1 Because ofAccidents-Eight Of
Killed During First stage.

Paris, May 25.-In view of the num-
Der OF accidents, some fatal. in the
nrst stage Of the Paris-Madrid auto
mobile race, from Versailles to Bor-
deaux, Premier Combes has forbid
Den the continuance of the contest on
French territory. The second stage
OF the race, which was to have been
continued on Tuesday, included run
over French territory from Bordeaux
to the Spanish frontier. Premier
Combes', , action will probably lead to
the race being abandoned.
1t is reported that the Spanish gov
ernment has also forbidden the con-
unuance Of the race on Spanish terri
tory.
Ihe first stage in the Paris-Madrid
automobile race, from Versailles to
bordeaux, 343 miles, finished at noon
sunday, when Louis Renault dashed
az furious pace into Bordeaux, hav-
ing made record run Of eight hours
and ~ minutes. An hour later M.
Gabriel arrived with a still better
record of eight hours seven minutes.
1t is estimated from the times made
that these automobiles covered 62
miles an hour on the road outside the
cities.
During the afternoon word of the
accidents began to arrive and cast a
cloud over the event. A dispatch from
Bordeaux announced that Lorraine
Rarrows had met with shocking ac-
cident near Libourne, II miles from
Bordeaux, at 1:45 in the afternoon.
It appears that Barrow had tried to
avoid dog which was crossing the
track and his monster car, No. in
the race, struck a tree with terrific
force. His chauffer was killed out
right. Barrows himself was picked
up unconscious but still breathing
and taken to hospital, where his
condition was declared to be critical.
His car was dashed to pieces. Short
ly afterwards news came that Macel
Renault had been overturned in deep
ditch beside the road near Coupe, 21
miles from Poictiers, and that he was
dangerously injured. T..
Late in the afternoon an uncon-
frmed report came from Bordeaux
that serious accident had occurred
near Angouleme, two occupants of an
automobile being thrown out and in.
jured and two spectators killed. No
names or details were given.
Dispatches arriving from points
along the course add to the list of IA
talities and accidents. The most terri
BILE occurred near Bonneval, 10 miles
from Chartres, where machine No. 243.
driven by NJ. Porter, was overturned at
railroad crossing and took fire. The
chauffeur was caught underneath the
automobile and burned to death, while
two soldiers and a child were killed.
A chauffeur was badly injured by an
accident to his motor car near Angou-
leme. A woman crossing the road in
the neighborhood Of Ablis was run over
by one of the competing cars and
killed. :

as grand jurors was Curtis Jett, a rela-
tive of Curtis Jett, who is under arrest
charged with the crime. Mr.. Jett was
excused.
The grand jury was sworn in at 10:30
and Judge Redwine instructed the jur-
.ors, calling attention to the lamenta-
Bile conditions in Breathitt county and
urging that not only the actual muir
derers of James B. Marcum be con-
victed, but that all who were in any
way connected with the murder be
treated likewise.
Every One Searched for Weapons.
While troops were picketed around
the courthouse everyone who entered
the building was searched and none
were admitted who carried concealed,
weapons. The most important wit
nesses were not to be found. Tom
Cockrill sent word from Winchester
that he did not propose to answer a
summons that would cost his life and
charged that his fear came from those
in county offices. He cited the cases
of Tom Baker. who was killed at Man
chester by some one shooting from a
window in the sheriff residence while
Baker was in the custody of the sher-
iff Cockrill insisted that his life now
would not be as safe at Jackson as
Bakers was at Manchester.
Another Witness Wanted.
Another witness wanted is Capt.
John Patrick, who had said he recog-
nized the assassins of Town Marshal
James Cockrill when they fired from
courthouse windows and that one was
a deputy sheriff. Patrick was reported
to be at Cattlettsburg, but nothing
could be learned of his whereabouts
Monday. He is a nephew of John E.
Patrick, who is assisting the prosecu-
tor for Mrs Marcum. Col. Williams, in
command of the four companies of
militia, summoned the visiting press
men about him Monday and asked that
no sensational stories which might
bring the soldiers into disrepute be
sent out. The correspondents were
given a tent to themselves, but owing
to its being within easy reach Of the
mountain across the river in the Pan
Handle bend, from which any one might
be singled out and shot, there is some
misgiVing, and the colonel was asked
to change the location. Some Of the
correspondents are wearing soldiers
uniforms in the hope that they will
serve them in good purpose.

Jacob Schmidt has begun the erec- tion of his new brick building on Brewery avenue. The foundation has been completed. The front founda- tion was put down to the solid rock, twenty-five feet below the level of the street.
 MT. Schmidt, when he began the erection of this building, intended it to be only two-story, but he has con cluded to adorn Brewery avenue with a sky-scraper, and the building will be made three stories in height. It is located opposite the Brewery saloon.
 When completed this building will be larger, in floor space, than the post office building, erected two years ago. Mir. Schmidt will personally superin- tend the erection of the building, and labor will be employed by the day.
 The lower story will be fitted up to accommodate large store, while the upper stories will be cut up into offices and rooms.

STATE OR TERRITORY.

A personal friend of Senator Quay who is associated with him in several mining schemes, returned to the ter ritory this week and stated that the proposition to unite Arizona and New Mexico as one state is gaining support CTS in the house and senate as a com promise measure and that such a bill may be passed this winter, despite the protests of the territory He quotes Senator Quay as being in favor of such measure if the territories can not obtain statehood separately and states that the president would not be op- posed to such bill
 Senator Quay won the admiration of the people of this territory by the gal lant support which he gave the omni- bus bill but should he favor and give his support to joint statehood meas ure during the coming congress. he will be wholly disregarding the wishes of the people of Arizona.
 Colonel J. F. Wilson, delegate to con gress was in the city the first of the week and when asked his position on joint statehood measure. he said to a representative of the Post that he would be radically opposed to any such program. and he suggested that the people of Arizona hold a conven- tion in September to protest against any such action. We doubt whether any good could be accomplished by SuCh A move as DatifiOnS oonvorfion. or any general steps such as these have little effect on the average sena- tor or representative. A great deal of good might be accomplished, how ever, if every citizen of Arizona who has any personal acquaintance with a member of congress, would enter with him an emphatic personal protest against measure admitting Arizona and New Mexico as one state.

utes he said a piece of the glacier, containing thousands of tons of ice would break off with a roar like 400 claps of thunder, and with a mighty crash would fall into the sea, the dis placement of the water from which would cause a wave of great height to rush seaward with mighty force. He says that during a two hours stay there from sixty to seventy of these avalanches of ice broke loose from the glacier and toppled into the ocean. This is said to be the grandest glacier in the world.

GEORGE DUNN RETURNS FROM A
 TRIP TO MEXICO.
He Reports That Recent Flood in the Sonora River Did Some Damage to Crops Near Bocoachi.

George Dunn, of the Azurite saloon, returned to Bisbee yesterday evening from AriZpe, Sonora. where he went several days ago to pay tax to the gov ernment on the mining property which he owns in the Ajo mountains, and also near Bocoachi.
 MT. Dunn says there has been re- cent bountiful rains in that part of Sonora visited by him. The Sonora river was swollen, and for several days it was impossible. In the vicinity Of Bocoachi the high water in the river did some damage to crops by flooding them. All the cattle ranges are green and cattle are in fine condition.
 On this way home MT. Dunn visited the old building where it was reported a large number of skeletons had been found together with many implements and vessels made of gold. These re- ports, Mr. Dunn says. were greatly ex- aggerated. It was true that a number of skeletons were found, but that was all; nothing of value was found with them. IL is the opinion that there had been battle there at some time. and I the dead had been piled in room and the room closed. All the skeletons were evidently of men, as indicated by the size of the bones. Mir Dunn brought home one of the thigh bones found in the pile. It indicates that it formerly belonged to the makeup of man about six feet in height.
 MT. Dunn found the weather very warm down in the Sonora river country. and was glad to get back in Bisbee to cool of.
