SPEED OF ANIMALS.
The Greyhound Leads, Followed b
the HnraA

The Greyhound Leads, Followed by
the Horse and the Red Deer.
The following interesting letter con.
cerning the relative speed of animals
appeared in the London Field:
The fastest animal we have is the
greyhound. The next are the race
horse, the red deer and the hare, and
then comes the good, big, bold dog
fox, which is a fine galloper on good
going. In comparison with any Of
the above the fastest foxhound on
sound fiat turf is as slow as a man
moving grass for haymaking. But if
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good. For instance,
on rough clods, whether melted or not,
a hare cannot run at all; hence she gen.
orally takes care not to go there, and
where greyhounds are kept she habitu-
ally lies in her form near the fringe Of
a rough fallow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long. powerful hind legs q hare
can beat anything up steep hill. A
SoXhound can easily beat any horse
over deep clay plow, because the horse
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter, though the horse may not
be faster, but great consideration must
be made for the discretion of a good
horseman, who avoids exhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
A run Of eight miles within the hour
In either Of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body of the

ONE DEAD; FIVE WOUNDED.
AS Result of Bitter Feeling Between
Church Factions,

ShOIGH dObiOHSs
Bluefield, w. Va, March 2S.-Blood-
shed and death was the ending of a
social at the Methodist Episcopal
church at Coaldale, near here Tuesday
night.
The tragedy grew out cf a bitter
feeling between factions striving for
dominance of the church. Benjamin
Capely was instantly killed, while his
wife, whose head was partly torn away
by a gunshot, cannot recover. Mrs.
R. H. Harper was wounded in the side
and Henry Garden was shot in the
leg. Two unknown men, who fed
after the fight, were also slightly in,
jured.
There had been i'll feeling of long
standing over the management of the
funds which had been raised for the
erection of a new church building
any opposed the holding of a So
cial fearing an outbreak. During the
evening there was a clash between
adherents of the rival factions, and it
is said that a blow was struck. In
stantly guns were produced and shoot
ing began. 1t is not certainly known
who fired the first shot, but almost as
the shooting began Capely fell to the
floor with a bullet in his heart Mrs
Harper, Henry Garden and two other
men were shot within the next few
minutes 1t is believed that Mrs
Capely received her wound as she step
ped from the door of the building.
Mrs. Harper, Garden and James Hot
ten were placed under arrest pending
a complete investigation by the au,
thorities.

Peasants Stood Toqether.

st. Petersburg, March 28.-Kostro
ma, European Russia, is the first tc
have completed it's elections to the pro
vincial congress. Forty7six peasants
19 noblemen, 18 merchants, profes
.sional men, and priests were return
ed. The preponderance of peasants
is significant, as they were only en-
titled to elect 29 delegates, while the
landowners had 35, the workmen Z and
the cities 26 delegates. The results
show that the small land owners
who, in reality, are only peasants OF
the more prosperous class, stood to
gether against the big landlords and
chose exclusively peasants.
