LYNcHERs AFTER HIM.
A Young Girl Murdered at Waterloo
 III.-Rody Burned.

A Young Girl Murdered at Waterloo,
 III.-BoiIy Burned.
 WATERLOO, H., Oct. 22.-Seven- teen-year-old Eleanora Woodcock. daughter of a wealthy man here, while alone in her home, was murdered by an unknown man, who later tried to burn the body in nearby field.
 An armed posse is seeking the slayer and it is almost certain that lynching will occur if he is caught.
 The girl was reading in her room, it is believed, when the man entered the house. It is evident that she struggled fiercely with her assailant before she was overpowered.
 She was apparently, however, beaten into insensibility. Her throat was then cut, and the body was dragged to a field behind the house.
 1t was then placed under pile of straw, to which the murderer set fire. The girls body was partly destroyed when found by farmland, who told Mr. Woodcock of the affair. The lat ter had returned home and was almost distracted at finding traces of the struggle and his daughter gone.
 A stranger giving his name as Thom- as Kennedy has been arrested at liar risonville, Monroe county, on suspic- ion of being the assailant and mur- derer.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
BICYCLING.
WALTHOUR PREPARING
 FOR SIX DAY RACE

Bobby Walthour, cycle racer, who arrived from Europe on the Deutsch- land, left for his home in Atlanta yes terday. As a result of his second trip 5 to Europe this year Walthour added to his title of six day cycle champion that of pace following champion of the world. The latter title came to him as the result of his 100 kilometre victory in the N. V. c. championships at Crystal palace, London, at which two other Americans, Iver Lawson and Marcus Hurley, also proved inter- national supremacy.
 e"I am we'll satisfied with my sea sons campaigning" said Walthour. .I have won forty out of forty-four races in which I started here and abroad. I think this is a satisfactory percentage when one considers the lia- bility of punctures and motors going wrong. The hardest man had to beat was Simar, whom defeated in the championship race at Crystal pal ace. I think he is the best pace fol- lower in Europe at present.
 .ssFollowing the accident which caus- ed the death of poor George Leander, there was complete change in pace following rules. The Europeans are now even more strict than we are about forbiding protection to pace fol- lowers. Now no wind shields are al- lowed, and even the pacemakers are restricted to thin Jerseys instead of the padded sweaters they formerly wore. Under the new conditions, made the worlds hour record of 70 Kilometres. This means 30 miles an Te~ T-NS de Tnv scored over 60 miles in the hour sey- eral times. The cycle racing game is enjoying a big boom in Europe now. Crowds of from 15,O00 to 25,0O0 per sons saw my races at Paris. Albert Champion is making money and Jim- my Michael is doing fairly well. He is somewhat. improved in health and spirits and will come over to race me at Madison Square garden on the Sat urday before the six-day race starts.
 SIeander's death was due to his losing his pace around the sharp turn of the Pare des Princes track, which is egg shaped. George lost control of his wheel, was thrown on the hard cement, crushed his skull and never regained consciousness.
 I shall go over again next year. My winnings have amounted to $15, ,OO0 including the worlds championship, the grand prize of Europe and the grand prize of Boulogne. My cam paign lasted from August 4 to October 20. When I get home shal ltake a couple of weeks rest before beginning training for the six day races in which think Monroe will again be my partner. I do not think pace fol lowing has killed my sprint, for in several training brushes I outsprinted Henri Mayer, who finished third to Lawson in the final of the worlds ehampionship.s' ssT f

INTERCOLLEGIATE GOLF.
H. C. Egan and 4. [. White of Har- ward in Final for Individual Honor

Hamilton, Mass, Oct 22.--As the re- suit of yesterdays play in the inter collegiate individual golf champion ship over the Myopia Hunt club course, H. Chandler Egan and A. l.. White, two Harvard men are left to contest in the final round of thirty-sfx holes.
 Worse weather for golf could not be imagined than that of yesterday after noon when the semi final rounds were played, but considering the conditions some remarkable work was witnessed by the handful of spectators. The feature of the afternoon was the de feat of Malcolm McBurney by A. L. White.
 The latter won from his college mate by up and to play. H. Chandler Egan, the amateur cham pion, defeated F. o. Reinhart of Princeton, the present Intercollegiate champion, 3 up and to play.
 In the morning round H. c. Egan and Reinhart made Al each for the first nine holes, which was fine golf considering the high wind. The Princeton man had M. T. Weet also of Princeton, as his opponent, beat ing him 3 up and 2 to play.
 Chandler Egan made short work of his clubmate. Fay Ingalls,, winning by up and to play. McBurney played R. Abbott of Yale and the pair had a close match. The latter was 1 up al the turn, and McBurney missed put on the tenth green for the hole. The next hole was also halved, but Nc Burney won the next three in 4 each the fifteenth in 6 and took the match by halving the sixteenth in 4.

YANGER-sAYERs BOUT A DRAW
CANS AND BRITT.

Every doubt as to qnolding the con test for the lightweight championship of the world between Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt has been removed. The board of supervisors, which controls the fighting situation in San Francisco. has issued permit for the scrap, ana the affair will take place as scheduled. The men are to meet for twenty rounds at 133 pounds ringside at the Shasta A. c. on October 31. The rivals are training zealously for the mill. and 1t would not be surprising if the re- ceipts come near to the money taken in when Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbets met last year. There is plenty of en- thusiasm and every belief that the bout will be fought on the level. Britt is, doing his work at Croll's Gardens, Alameda. Although he only started heavy exercise lately, he is now said to be in prime trim. Britt is making swimming part of his training. Every day after his morning labors he takes plunge in the ocean. Cans is at San Rafael The champion Is already down to 136 pounds and is as strong as q bull. He says that he will not have much difficulty in gett;ng down to weight. Wrong ideas seem to have got about on my weight" said Cans. T never failed to make 133 pounds il. the east when match called for it, and the reason avoided that notch when I could was that didn't care for the hard work 1t called for. 1 weighed only shade over 133 pounds when I fought Rufe Turner at Oak land last year. If Britt should defeat ne there is just one request I shall make of him. and that is that he does EI'ot object to meeting negroes in tho future As long as he lowered the bar to me I hope that if an ambitious ne gro comes along after his scalp he will give him a chance to win it, too"

Russia and Japan Face one Another
 on shalkhe River.
 LONDON, Oct. 22.-A St Petersburg dispatch this morning says that the ri- val armies of Russia and Japan, in- trencned short distance from each other south of the Shakhe river, are forced to continued inactivity until the fine weather now prevailing dries the sodden ground and the tired warriors are sufficiently rested to resume opera tions. The Russians confined them selves to bombardment of Shakhe station and the adjoining village of La matung, the Japanese feebly respond ing. This news clears up an interest ing point and shows that Shakhe sta kion is not held by the Russians.
 A St. Petersburg dispatch says that General Grippenberg, who is to com mand the second Manchurian army. was received in audience by Emperor Nicholas at Tsarskoe Selo and had a long conference with him about the dis patch to the far east of the remaining corps of the second army.
 A report from Oyama's headquarters says that the Shakhe river is the imme- diate objective now and that another great battle is imminent, in which the Japanese will assume the offensive.

 ing Outlook.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-R. c. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Trade reports are more encouragin each week, while the feeling of opti- mism regarding the future is becoming general. With it's customary disposi- ton to discount commercial prosperf- ty, Wall street has lifted the average price of the sixty most active railway shares above par for the first time since May of last year Manufactur- ing plants steadily increase output, a particularly gratifying feature of the week being the large tonnage of steel purchased by the railways, and the ad- vanced prices for pig iron suggest that the depression in that industry has run its course.
 Payments are still somewhat irreg- ular, yet there are comparatively few complaints. Foreign trade at this port for the last week shows gain of $2,- 15S,275 in imports over those of the same week in 1903, but loss of ST. 14S. .275 in exports.
 Wheat has continued stronger than the statistical reports would seem to warrant, but there is disturbing fac tor in the quality of the crop that de- tracts from the value of quantftative comparisons. Receipts at primary mar kets of 7,713. 721 bushels for the week largely surpassed the 6,6S1, ,264 bushels last year, while exports from all ports of the United States, flour included. were only S90, ,135 bushels against 4,015,60 in 1908 and still more in ear Her years.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for October asgre- gated $5,172, ,082, of which $1,o45, BOT was in manufacturing. $8, 05.944 in trading and s12a,281 in other com mercial lines. Failures for the week numbered 215 in tEe United States against 279 last year aid 39 in Canada compared with 28 a year ago.

Tourgenieff, though mortally wounded, carried off one man behind his saddle, while oth- CTS managed to creep back to camp. But not one man was killed on the field. There is the greatest fear on the part of the Russian wounded of falling Into the hands of the Japanese, the Russians being convinced that they torture their prisoners.
