NOT GUILTY.
A BrickIayer Is Released from Prison
After Serving 26 Years.


Berlin, Oct. 2s.-A bricklayer named
Burmeister, who has served % years
in the penitentiary, though innocent
of the crime for which he was SEN
fenced, has just been released under
singular circumstances. In 1877 Bur-
meister and his father undertook to-
commit a burglary at the house of n
farmer at Damsdrof, Schleswig- -Iol-
stein. and Burmeister's father in so
doing shot and killed the farmer and
his wife.
At the trial the son confessed that
he fired the fatal shots. Both men
were sentenced to death, but petit
tion to the emperor secured change
in the sentence, to Imprisonment for
life. The father died in prison in
1896 and the son recently gave such
a circumstantial narrative of his part
in the affair that the authorities were
convinced that he was not guilty.
Burmeister claims his father fired
the shots which killed the farmer and
his wife, but that he, knowing his
father had a black record and would
certainly suffer death, took the guilt
upon himself in order to save his
father. Upon the basis of this state
ment, Burmeister sought for par
don, which was at first refused him,
but he renewed his efforts with sue
cess. Burmeister has now been liber-
ated and has rejoined his mother, who
is 80 wears of age.

ON MEMPHIS TRACK
Dan Patch Broke Two Worlds
Records in Succession.
Paced n HRIC-MIIe In 56 Seconds Fiat
He Also Clipped Two Seconds
from the Record for Pacing
NIIIe 10 wagon, Going
the Distance in 1;57N.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 2s.-Dan
Patch, (1:56A), within 45 minutes
Tuesday afternoon, smashed two
worlds records in succession on the
track of the Memphis Trotting asso-
citation.
Firt he went against the worlds
half-mile pacing record of 57h sec
onds, held by Prince Alert, and clip
ped second and half from the
record, negotiating the distance in
Sc seconds fat. Next he hung out a
new worlds record for n mile pacing
to a wagon, making the mile in
1871, two seconds better than the
time of 1:50A which he made at the
recent meeting on the Lexington, KY,
track, which stood as the worlds rec
ord until yesterday afternoon.
Major Delmar. +. +. Smathers'
two-minute trotter, wa ssent to lower
his own record, and he accomplished
the feat. He cut a quarter of sec
ond fro mthe two-minute mark, max
ing the mile in 1:59A.
In making the half mile pace
against time, Driver McHenry started
from the wire and breezed Dan Patch
around to within short distance of
the half-mile pole, where two run
ners to sulllies were picked up. the
forward sulky carrying the customary
canvas dust strip. The three horses
swept by the pole and McHenry gave
the signal that the trial was n go.
Starter Newton dropped the flag and
the watches of the timers We're set in
motion to catch the new record for %
half mile.
The quarter was made in 2S% Sec
onds and the PAGER dashed under the
wire with the hands of the timers
watches sharp on the mark of IS Sec
onds. The demonstration from the
grand stand was quite as enthusiastic
as those which have been given Dan
Patch when he set the mile pacing g
record of /: 1914, and Lou Dillon when
she trotted a mile in 1:5Sh, but it
and the other noisy acclamations of
the new champions were all eclipsed
by the enthusiasm of the spectators
when Dan Patch came on the track
to set a new wagon mark for the
mile.
With a few preliminary breezings
before the grand stand, the start was
made with two runners as PAGERS
The quarter was made in 291s, the
half in 5s1a and the three-quarters in
LES. Under the wire the champion
PAGER dashed in 1:57A, showing little
effect from having smashed two rec
ords in single afternoon. The PAGER
was driven by Mr.. McHenry in the
wagon trial.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.
Tvyo-thIrds OF Them nre Divided
Among 100000 People I'm Divl-
dends and Wages.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-,Mr. Slason
Thompson, head of one of the bur-
eaus of the General Managers asso-
citation, recently addressed a letter
TO the railway companies, asking the
question Are there a million owners
of railway securities in the United
States?"
"Thirty-nine of the leading railway
companies of the country responded"
said Mr.. Thompson yesterday. They
represent i07,640 miles out of the
2O2,471 of single track mileage in the
United States. They gave the total
number of stockholders on their
books as 1857. This is pretty near
ly equal to two stockholders for every
mile of railway. The ratio on the
Illinois Central is little over two to
one. On some of the roads the ratio
rises to three to one and in two cases
as high as eight to one. In one case
the ratio swung as far as one to six
the other way.
Applying two to one as the ratio,
the total would give 100000 stock
holders in round numbers for the 2OO,-
600 miles of railway in the United
States as owning $6,024, ,295 of capi-
tai stock. Assuming that the $6,lO9,-
9Sl,669 funded debt as widely dis
tributed among bondholders, and the
railway ownership would appear to be
held in something like 100000 hands.
But large as these figures are and APP
preaching the total of railway en-
ployes u,10S,315) as they do, they by
no means represent the total of those
interested in railway ownership.
The figures given are for registered
stock, and as the comptroller of one
of the largest systems wrote ut IS
very probable that the number of ac-
tual stockholders is twice as great as
the number of registered stockhold-
ers." Then there is the holding of
railway stock by insurance companies,
saving banks and trust companies eN-
tending their ownership among thou
sands And what is true of these in
stitutions as to stocks is also true as
to railway bonds-only more so. In
one way or another the people of the
United States own the railways of the
United States and something like .
oo0,000 persons through wages, inter-
est and dividends divide two-tlirds of
their gross earnings of $1,726, $50, ,267
(1901-2) among them and the other
third goes for fuel, taxes, supplies
and equipment
