To BE Taken to the Penitentiary.

Louisville, KY, May 7.-Curtiss Jet
will be taken to the Frankfort peniten-
tiary next week to serve life sentence
for the murder Of James B. Marcum. In
accepting life sentence, Jet hopes to
cheat the gallows, a pardon by the Gov
ernor being necessary before he can be
hanged for the Cockrell murder, for which
he has been sentenced, even if the Court
of Appeals refuses a rehearing.
Frankfort, KY, May THE Court
of Appeals, Friday, granted James How
ard additional time, till June 10th, to
file his petition for rehearing, his life
sentence for killing Gov. Goebel having
been affirmed. w. II. Smith, the at
torney for Howard, asked for thirty days
additional time and stated that the reason
for asking the time was TO give Howard
chance to raise enough money to carry
his case to the United States Supreme
Court. Chief Justice Burnam stated
that if the court gave the 80 days asked
for, it would carry the case over to next
term, which was contrary to all former
rulings of the court in criminal cases.

The second annual Horse Show of the
Cameron Run Hunt Club will take place
on the club grounds near Braddock
Heights on Wednesday and Thursday,

cess, as the entries both in quality and
number far exceed those of any Hunt
Club Show in the country.

are well distributed throughout the
twenty-five classes, the class for hunters
owned and ridden by members of the

ner of Manassas; Chas. IR. Hoof, Geo.
Stuart and S. Cooper Dawson, of Fairfax
county, and the Hampton Stock Farm.
The Cameron Run Hunt will also be
prominent in the hunt team and hound
classes.
The main feature OF interest on the
second day will be steeplechase to be
ridden by members of recognized hunt
clubs, about two and a half miles over
the new Hunt Club course, which is adj.
joining the show grounds. This steeple-
chase will be made semi-annual affair,
and in the autumn two cups will be
offered by Messrs. A. Henry Higginson
and CORTLAND H. Smith for two races,
viz one for bona fde half-bred hunters
and:the other for thoroughbrsds.

men were killed by the Lake Shore west
bound through passenger train which
passed through Elyria at about three
o'clock this morning. Three we're found
on the track a mile east of town, while
one was carried into the city on the
front of the engine and dropped near
the east bridge. All four were neatly
dressed and apparently mechanics. One
of them had 500, but there was no iden-
tifying marks. 1t is supposed that they
stepped in front of the passenger train
and had their backs to the oncoming
train.
