Testimony Of sensational turn again
cnhvened the proceedings yesterday in
the suit brought by Robert Burton and
George a. Dubrueil. OF Baltimore, against
Senator Eikins for $4,000 for alleged
services
Burton stated he had been told by GER
tain councilmen Of Baltimore that unless
they received 100000 the Fuller bid would
not be accepted. and that when met with
q refusal they cut the sum demanded
down tc $4,000 Burton said that the
councilmen were informed by Mr.. Land
street that unless they voted for the Full
Ter bid he would see that they went to
the peuitentlary for attempted bribery.
Mr. Burton said that IL was a difficult
matter to get the Fuller bid of SS,5O00p
through the council as all OF the other
four bids were higher, that of the Read
ing Railroad being from S2.5o0,0J0 TO 5000
900 higher; that at the time the matter
was pending in the council he believed,
from what Senator Elkins told him. that

WILL BE BIG BENEFIT.

The dollars are flowing into George M. Cohan, treasurer of the Terry McGovern testimonial fund, and indications now point to the real ization of total sum sufficient to meet the needs of the little gladia- tor for the rest of his days and to provide his family with the necessi- ties of life for some time to come.
 Nearly $700 were turned in yes terday by the management of the benefit held in Philadelphia the night before under the auspices of the Ma tional Athletic club as Terry's share of the gross receipts. Joe Cans, the colored champion, who appeared on chat occasion with Young Corbett, with George M. Cohan as referee, yesterday sent his personal check for $100.
 More entertainers have been add ed to the program of the Madison Square benefit next Wednesday night in the person of Root and Fogler, the championship cycling team, winners of the recent six-day race.

HARTFORD NOT IN IT.

Hartford, Jan 19.-In one of the closest games on the local floor, New Britain's roller polo team defeated Hartford, 12 to 10, last night. Circus seats raised on the north side of the hall made room for quite number of extra spectators and there were about 1000 fans on hand when the big game was started. Their appetites were whetfed by some rough-house work In the amateur contest when one player had his nose cut open and two others indulged in a little bout under the London prize ring rules. Mike Gala han made his first appearance with the Hartfords and he showed up we'll Tn the last period he was obliged to leave the floor to repair his skates and 1t was during his absence that New Britain forged ahead. fusari took callahan's place but be was not familiar with the style of play of Turner and the local team suffered In couseouence. Referee Rorty refusesl to allow Callahan to return until afr ter a goal had been made and he had to listen to considerable abuse. Main

NEW SPORT IN PARIS. Dash to the Top of the Eiffel Tower is the Latest Sensation.

One hundred yard dashes straight m in the air-that Is a new sport that has made a hit in Paris. How long could the best athlete keep go- ing if he had to step as far up as he does forward each time? It takes a stout heart to run straigntaway. What a strain it must be. then. to run the distance up winding stair way.
 The presence of the Eiffel tower is responsible for this new test of lung power and endurance. The engineer who built the tallest structure in the world for the Paris fair of 1sss-a distinction is still holds after nine- teen years-perhaps never fguered that the towering pile would be the scene of athletic contests.
 Only few Sundays ago Paris turn ed out to see its best "scalers' test their speed going up the steps to the second platform. This is distance of $50 feet. the height of many mod ern skyscrapers. The winner in the independent class, J. Bielen, made the distance in 3 minutes and IS seconds. Quite difference bet~etil that and ten seconds of flat running. In making the trip Bielen had to mount 73O steps. Only the hardest athletes can mount these steps with out slowing up to a walk.
