Marriott Spins off five Miles in
3 Minutes AZ Seconds.
IN FREAK STEAM CAR
Thousands Of Spectators Lined the Course
to Witness the Speed Kings Battle
for Supremacy at Daytona.

The greatest event of the season or
the East Coast the International Au.
tomobile Meet is now in full blast or
the Ormond-Daytona beach, and en-.
thusiasm is at high pitch. Thousands
Of spectators line the course along the
hard beach to watch the powerful ma
chimes and iron-nerved men battle fol-
supremacy. The weather has not been
very propituous for speed making, nor
has it been all the spectators could wish.
Notwithstanding this, all previous rec.
ords for one and five miles have been
smashed to smithereens, and before the
great tournament is over Mercury and
his famous speed will look like thirty
cents.
On Monday no official races were run,
but most of the racers were out on the
beach trying the speed qualities of the
famous race course. The feature OF
the day was the lowering of the kilo-
meter record by the Stanley steamer, a
freak cigar.shaped car. The time was
10 Is seconds, and although it was un.
official, showed what could be done.
The first race called Tuesday was the
one mile international for the Dewar
trophy. Again the Stanley freak SCI,
Il mark for the speed kings, making the
mile in 80 seconds. In the last event
Of the day, which was for steamers
only, the same car, driven by Marriott,
made mile in 81 As second, thus clip
ping a notch off the previous time. The
one mile heavyweight championship
was won by Lancia in ITO horsepower
Fiat, in 81 seconds.
On Wednesday Marriott again drove
the freak machine in mountaineering
time, winning the second heat of the
live-mile open championship in PAT l-5,
thus establishing new worlds record
for that distance. The final heat, how
ever, was won by I.ancia in 3:Ol l-5.
Cedrino, in Il 24-3O horsepower car,
won the five mile middleweight cham
pionship event; time, 1853 10. The
five mile heavyweight for gasoline cars
was won by carp, 80 horsepower, in
2.5G.
Vanderbt's big $50 horsepower ma
chine had not been able to enter any of
the races up to Wednesday night, but
the owner, driver and builder are all
Working on it and confidently expect to
enter the car in some of the big events,
and the owner is sanguine in his hopes
for the two-mle-a- minute record.

WEALTHY PEOPLE
VISITING FLORIDA

The information comes that hundreds
of wealthy people are in Florida this
week, principally to attend the automo-
bile races at Daytona- Ormond beach,
but that many will remain for month
or two, going to various places.
Many will no doubt inspect the great
work of extending the Florida East
Coast Railway from Miami to Key
West, considered by engineering ex-
perts as one of the most costly and ex-
tensive undertakings ever attempted in
this country. The millionaire contin-
gent also wants to visit the pineapple,
orange and grapefruit growing sections
to see what the future in them prom
Uses. In fact, many of the visitors are
said to be business men, and they want
to learn of Florida and other Southern
States, with n view of either invest
ment or lending of money for schemes
of development. The south now seems
to be the most attractive section for
profitable investment and development.
Railroad building and various manufac-
turing industries are all tending this
way, and with them naturally come
population and new enterprises.
1t is said one party is in Florida this
week representing over 100000, 900 of
surplus funds. Metropolis.

TO HELP FLORIDA
FRUIT INTERESTS

1t seems probable that the Florida
orange. lemon and grapefruit growers
will receive some consideration at the
hands of Congress ut theproSent session.
An effort is being made to have Con-
grcss make an appropriation for the
eradication Of the white fly, which has
done great deal of damage to fruit
groves in this state. The work will
probably be done in connection with the
continued efforts of the Department Of
Agriculture to combat the boil WcvlI
pest which has been troubling the cot
ton growers.
Growers in Florida are hard at work
securing data to show the amount Of
damage sustained which will be used
to convince congressman thcncccSSltS
of immediate action. Florida senators
and representatives have signlicd their
willingness to aid the growers and as
there is no opposition apparent, the
only thing likely to defeat the proposed
measure will be IN economical turn on
the part of congressman, when might
result in cutting down appropriations

WILL GIVE PROGRAM THAT
CANNOT FAIL TO PLEASE

CATNINO AL ~ fIEHSG'
The program to be given by the Stay
ton Jubilee Singers, who open the ly-
ceum course at the New Grand next
Monday evening. cannot fail to please
every lover of melody in this city. The
company is stronger this season than
ever before and from the expressions
of approval received from every point
of the continent a treat seldom enjoyed
here is in store for those who attend
Monday evenings performance. The
following is from the Pawtucket Or, L..
Evening Times:
Last evening in the Y. NJ. G. A. hall
the opening concert of the association
entertainment curse was given by the
Slayton Jubilee Singers. 1t was an
suspicious opening of the course, there
being a full house to greet these we'll
known colored singers, and it is doubt
full if there was a person in the hall
who was not highly entertained by the
program of the old plantation melo-
dies and the newer o songs,
heard so often in these later days. The
entertainment given was a fine one in
every respect and speaks well of the
management in conducting. what is
promised will be the best course of en-
t~ertainments ever given in this city
for the admission asked. The company
last evening contained eight people,
and it would be an injustice to them
all to praise one more than the other.
They sang in solos, in duets, quartets
and choruses some of the old melodi.
GUS plantation songs, that lull the mind
into sweet peace and cause the heart
strings to loosen, and seem to make
life worth the living, or they would
burst out into one of those immitable
jubilee choruses that would ring
throughout the hall, and set every
ones feet to keeping time, while their
funny sayings and actions brought
down the house.

Coroner Bennett on the Scene.
Coroner Bennett was notified at
accident on one of the passenger
trains, taking charge of the remains
of the five men and holding an In

mile west of the Albany county line,
but the law is such that had MIR. Ben

annie and those of Messrs. Murray and
Hurstrom taken to Rawlins, although
that is not a certainty.
One of the Worst.
The wreck is said to be n of the
worst for a long time on the Union
Pacific. The death of the five men
and the injury of three others out OF
a total of sixteen men on the train
shows the force of the mighty impact
Mr.. Green, one of the brakemen, who
was on one of the engines. jumped,
and the other trainmen, who were at
the real of their trains, escaped with
out injury. Just how Mr.. Rasmussen
escaped. he is at a loss to know. He
was in the vehy thick of the wreck
but was not hurt so badly that he
could not get action, and finding a
hole crawled through it to safety.
Pinned Under Wreckage.
Some of the men we're so pinned
into the wreck that it took strong
work and the employment of lifting
jacks to remove their bodies. The
two engines were raised off the track
entirely. all the wheels being sus
pended In the air. The second engine
in the west-bound train was a sorrow
full sight to railroad men. All the for
ward and rearward works were
stripped from the boiler, the trucks
were twisted and torn to pieces and

ried the wrecker from here to the
scene ana by 6 or Z o'clock this morn
ing the track was sufficiently cleared
to permit the passage of trains.
Trains Nos. 10, 2 n 6 arrived in that
order between 8 and 10 o'clock. The
delay TO the e~ast-bound trains was not
great, as passenger TRANS were per-
mitted to use the new track under a
very slow order.
Physicians at Scene.
Drs. Stevens. Miller and McCollum
were taken to the scene of the wreck
last night. They found that Sims had
sustained a double compound fracture
OF the left leg and the fracture of the
neck OF the right femur. The bones
of the leg were protruding through
the flesh. Blood had flowed freely
and there was much weakness from
this cause.
Christian Stustic, the Russian
tramp, has his right thigh broken and
other bruises. Inc body of Mr.. Kelly
was quite severely m%angled. He lived
nearly three hours.
Bodies to Be Brought Here,
The bodies of Engineer Strong,
Fireman Kelly and Brakeman Meyers
will be brought to this city, railroad
officials expecting them about z O'Clock
tonight. The body of the brakeman
will be taken in charge by the local
lodge of the Brotherhood of Railway
frarnman, Ed Murphy being the mas
ter, and after it has been prepared tor
burial it will be taken to Kansas City
Tor interment, being accompanied by
w. A. Toothaker. a brother brake
man, who knew the deceased before
| coming to Laramie. Meyers came here
on the Sd of October and went to
work that day. A search of his trunk
was made this morning for something
that would lead to his identification,
but not a scratch of a pen could be
found. In a pocketbook taken from
his person by one of the train crew
last night. after his body had been
recovered from the wreck. were his
membership cards in the Kansas City
lodge of the order and Y. M. c. A.
cards.
Pathetic Line From Mother.
In the pocketbook was found the
following, written on a sheet of writ
ing paper. evidently the last page of a
letter, in a good, strong hand, indicat-
ing a lady of education and sentiment:
"A mothers love will last long. You
need not give it up to anyone, Inc no
one can take it away. 1t will cling to
you and comfort you. whatever you
do, whatever the world may do to you.
Keep this in your pocket. From
mother"
Went Right to Work.
Mr.. Meyers alighted from a train
here a week g yesterday. coming
from the east.
What town is this" he asked of
someone on the platform.
