Boy Who Supported Family Victim OF Only
Pleasure--Pedestrian Blamed.


Joseph Casey, a seventeen-year-old boy.
whose home was with his widowed mother
at $40 East Thirty-third street was riding
his bicycle along First avenue last night
when at Thirty-eighth street an Italian
suddenly ran out into the street in front of
the wheel. Casey was pedalling along
pretty fast, and before he could stop the
bicycle struck the Italian.
Casey was thrown over the handlebars
and struck the paving stones on his head
He lay motionless with the blood stream
ing from a deep cut. The Italian, who had
been knocked down, picked himself up
and took to his heels up First avenue.
An ambulance was called. but young
Casey died before he reached Bellevue
Hospital His skull had been fractured
His younger brother had been riding ahead
OF him.
He rode home and told Mrs Casey that
Joseph had been taken to Bellevue terribly
hurt. The distracted mother ran all the
way to the hospital and was there when
the ambulance arrived with the dead boy.
Casey was practically the only support
of his mother and his Ave brothers and
sisters, all young children. He was a
mac hmist b I'd worked In a factory at Thirty
fourth street and Second avenue. He was
an Industrious. steady fellow whose only
amusement was to ride his bicycle. The
police are looking for the Italian. Accord
ing to william Casey, the brother, the acct
dent was entirely his fault. He ran into the
street 30 suddenly that 1t was impossible

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. ct was as
certained to-day from a reliable source at
Elkins and corroborated by number Of
persons in position to know, that Henry q.
Davis, Democratic nominee for Vice PreSi-
dent. and his brother, Col. Thomas B.iDavis
OF Keyser, w. Va, who was the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in the Second
district four years ago, have each contrib
uted $50 900 to the Democratic campaign
fund for all Purposes and that that will be
the limit OF their contributions
1t has always been believed by persons
knowing Mr. Davis well that he would
not be "A heavy contributor His daughters,
Mrs. Arthur Lee are opposed to his putting
large sums in the campai ign and are known
to have so expressed themselves. His
only son, John I. Davis now i'll with typhoi
fever, also objects. Four years ago he
spent large sums in four counties hoping
gress, but he was defeated by large vote
Since then the Davises have had little
faith in the ability Of politicians to spend
money judiciously, and they are very
cautious about handing it out. Some
Democrats contend that John T. McGraw,
who will handle the funds in West Virginia,
is more Interested in carrying the Legis-
lature than anything else, and the Davises,
so believing, are averse to putting up big
sums and getting secondary consideration

SAILED AIRSHIP AT THE FAIR.
T. &. Benbow Makes q Partial Success
on the Exposition Grounds.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. Ct. G. Benbow,
Montana aeronaut is the first man to sail
an airship over the worlds fair aero
nautic course. He made trial ascension
this fternoon and showed that his machine
is dirigible, but owing to scarcity of power
he was unable to propel it without great
difficulty against the wind
The Benbow airship assembled to height
OF from $50 to 200 feet and, starting from
about the centre of the course, sailed as
far as the east gate distance of 100 feet
before descending. The descent was made
in a straight path, and the machine was
then taken back to the starting point.
Bcnbow propelled the machine with ease
when going in the direction of the wind
but when he tried TO turn against the wind
he found that he did not have enough gas,
For fear the machinery would fail to work
properly on the initial trip the balloon was
held captive with a rope, Benbow says
that the rope prevented him from making
a complete test, and he is satisfied that he
can sail the full mile without any hndrance.
In addition to the handicap caused by
the rope, the balloon was not inflated to its
full capacity.

been brought to bear upon Mr.. Bryan

A leading Populist, who. among Others

to-day:
Notwithstanding Bryans denial Of his
part in showing Hill out of politics, Mr.,
Hill made his announcement at the earnest
request of the Democratic national com
mittee leaders, rs a condition to secure
Mr. Bryan to make speeches in New York
The reason Bryan has finally given up the
idea of going to New York is because he
has received not less than 5000 letters from
his old followers there requesting him to
remain away. Many copies of these letters
have been sent to Lincoln and are in the
hands of the Populists,
1T is fact, also, that Tom Taggart
offered to send $50 900 to Nebraska in an
effort to save the Legislature for Bryan

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 0.-President Roose-
welt manifested the greatest interest in the
returns tonight from the Vermont cleo
ton. Arrangements had been made to
get the returns at the executive Office over
a special wire, and as fast as they came in
they were telephoned TO Sycamore Hill
where the President Was waiting in his
library.
Secretary Loeb personally took charge
OF the receiving of the bulletins and the
transmission of them to the Presidents
home. AS the returns began to indicate
a sweeping Republican victory the Presi-
dent expressed satisfaction. He had been
assured both by Senator Lodge and Senator
Aldrich recently, and also by Attorney
General Moody to-day, that New England
was absolutely safe for the Republican
ticket, but he was nevertheless greatly
interested to get the first definite know ledge
of the drift Of sentiment in the Down
East" States.
Early in the evening the President re-
ceived a telegram from Senator Proctor,
saying that the indications were that the
Republican majority would be over 30 600.
This was the first news OF an authentic sort
that Mr.. Roosevelt received OF the victory.
