New Yomr, Jan. 20.—In the pedestrian contest for the O’Leary belt, at noon to-day, Hughes and Albert had surpassed all pre- vious records, the former by eighteen miles and the latter by four aid a balf wmiles. Phil- lips, the colored man, withdrew from the .race at 4 o’clock this morning, having made 420 miles.

"His pluck mastered, however, and this morning he is fresh, vigorous, and de- termined, although he dare not leave the track. Up to this morning his entire rest amounted to only four hours. At 10 o’clock he was running. Cheer after cheer greeted his first lap made while running. Hughes will stop at 570 miles, unless pushed by Al- bert, being satistied with ) THE BEST RECORD EVER MADE in a six days’ go-as-you-please. Harry Howard, discouraged at his defeat for second place, appeared on the track at 10:30. His aged father walked around once with him, advising him to retire, but he re- plied he was good for “third placeyet, if he died forit. Hestarted torun,a proceeding that thoroughly frightened Krolne, and set him on a sharp run for the onty time in the race. The unlooked-for - spectacle set .the crowa - of" onlvokers ~nearly’ wild~-with excitement. Men jumped upon the benches velling for their favorits, and spurring them on .with howls of delight. Finally Howard subsided iato a walk, and Krohne was notslow in following his example. ‘The spurt changed THE BETTING on both men slightly in favor of Howard. The book-makers were, at 11 a. ., offering 7 to S1 against Krohne for a place, $3 to $1 against Vint for a place, and $2 to$1 Hughes would not beat 570 miles. Visitors were pouring in at the rate of abont 200 an hour, filling up the big building and adding greatly to the excitement. Just before noon, Hughes and Krohne ran several laps at o breakneck speed, side by side. Hughes tinally forged ahead, carrying with him the shout s of the spectators, most of whom ran round the inclosure to better keep the pedestrians " in sight. Krohne was so completely jaded that he fell into the arms of two attendants,’and,was carried to his cabin, The 13ith hour of the contest ended at 2 o’clock, at which hour the score stood: Hughes, 553 miles; Albert, 5335 Vint, . 5325, Krohne, 525; Howard, 515; Campang, 401 Since midnight Hughes has only rested ofie hour and five minutes, and less than three hours altogether since the opening of the match. .'" PUSHING HUGHES. . In the afternoon there was a brilliant spurt between first and second men. Albertstarted in on & run at Hughes’ heels with set teeth and lithe limbs. He hurried round and round until he had passed the man in the red shirt. A few more laps and Hughes was panting with exhaustion. Interest increased mo- mentarily for Hughes, who obstinately re- fused to yield.. To add to the noise and con- tusion. Vint ana Krohne began torun at a lively pace.

Hughes consumed five ounces of beef an hour, besides Irequent drinks of THE *LIGHTNING EXHILIRATOR,” a mixture invented especially for pedes- trians. - No liguor has been used by him from the first. Among the presents received by Hughes are twenty bouquets, a pair of slippers, four silk handkerchiefs, and o num- ber of flags. Miss Cornell, a relative of the Governor, sent 2 beautiful silk flagto the favorit’s tent with a request that he wear it. Albert Smith, of Chicago, intends to present the winner with a $250 diamond.

A SENSATION AT MALONE, N. Y. Special Dlspateh to The Chicago Tribune. NEW Yoms, Jan. 20.—A special to the Times from Malone, N. Y., to-night, says that & genuine sensation has prevailed in that village - the past few days over the examination of Miss Emma Davis, the housekeeper of - Warren L. - Man- ning, on a charge of having adwinistered arsenic to Gertrude A. Man- hing. Gertrude is the niece and supposed heir of Warren L, Mauning, who Is a wid- ower and childless. He his 80th year, is, very feeble, and almost .in ~his dotage. . About elght years ago his only son died suddenly, and his death has never yet been has passed. satisfactorily explained. A year previous to this Mr. Manning lost his wife, and he en- gazed Miss Davis, the daughter of an honest farmer in an adjoining town, to act as his housekeeper. 5 s MISS DAVIS . 5 is about 30 years of age, pleasant in face and agreeable in manner, naturally keen, but not weil educated, and a member of the MMethodist .Church. . Miss - Gertrude Manning, . with her father, a. brother of Warren, .and 8t years of _age, has lived .here with-the old. gentleman for -many years, having come to live with her unele soon after his son’s death. She is 24 years .old, and bright and attractive, but rather' retiring-'in her habits. About seven weeks ago Miss Gertrude Manning was takén suddenly ill, and g1l efforts of her physician to cure her of her malady proved unavailing. He would restore her for the time being, but a relapse came in every in- stance, and the patient was again prostrated. ?flss Davis was Miss Manning’s nurse, and, rom CERTAIN SUSPICIOUS ACTS of hers in the sick ¢hamber, one of the phy- sicians was induced to entertain the idea that she was In some way conmected avith the sickness of her mistress.” Lt wassoon ru- mored around the village that Miss Manning had been’ -voisoned, and interest in the case soon becmue intense. On the 18th inst, she - was arrested, the Doctor appearing against her. e strongly belleves Miss Man- ning was a victin of arsenical poisoning, and was willing to stake his reputatipn on it. Miss Manning, who is still alive, bub very low, says the food . ws PREPARED FOR HER BY MISS DAVIS made her sicl, and on several occasions she saw a green sediment in dishesgffter taking food and medicive. There had been a’ can of -Paris green fa the house, but when it was searched for it could not be found. It was afterward found in the vault of the water-closet. Miss Davis was to- only one who had access to it. Aliss Davis has been held in $2,000 bail. . \ _IMMIGRANT RATES.. THE CENTRAL AND ERIE FORCED TQ MEET THE PENNSYLVANIA'S CUT. Special Dispatch to The Chtcago Tribunts NEw Yorg, Jan. 29.—The resultof the conference yesterday batween the- represent- atives of the New York lines and the Emi- gration Commissioners with regard, to the through travel for immigrants to the West has been to cause the ufficlals of the New York, Lake Erie & Western and the New York Central Railways to demand that-the Pennsylvavia Road shall furmsh a schiedule of its rates to all points in the West, and have | ordered the agents for the New York linesto sell’ immigrants tickets at exactly the same rate of charges—namely: onthe basis'of $6.50 toChicago. It having: been found impossible to stop the cut-throat business on the part of the' Pennsylvania Road, the New York lines have to meet it. THE GREAT TROUBLE is that, while this reduction is hurting.the two lines above named, the Pennsylvania Road can obtain the fuli rate of SIS from im- migrants.arriving at Philadelphia by the line of steamers sailing to and from that port, should they desire to go to Chicago, with & corresponding rate to other places. A new feature is, however, likely to spring up from this conflict which will be very damaging to the Interests of ‘all the lines involved. The profit of immigrant travel is not worth much consideration, although at full rates it helps to pay expenses. Butif, asis rumored on the street, the war should be carried into the first class passenger business, the Pennsyl- vania Road will suffer to a far greater extent than they do now in regard to the immigrant business. Should the rates for first class pas- sengers be i REDUCED TO THE BAME ESTENT that the Immigrant bisingss has been cut down, or even more, the work of- running through trains to the West will not only be without profit, but cause a -direct loss. Even as It is, the.questionof * Who will hold out the longest” is being talked overby those interested In railroad matters. MAYER BROTHERS. IN THE HANDS ON A RECEIVER. Spectal Dispatch o The Chicago Iribune. NEW YoRE, Jan. 20.—On Thursday and Friday reports were current down-town that the great importing and exporting flrm of AMayer Brothers, No. 79 Wali street, had sus- pended. This the members of the firm em- phatically -denied, saying that their only trouble was a misunderstanding with their specia! partners in Gerinany, and that nego- tiations were in progress which promised a speedy termination of this difficulty. In any event, .the firm would continue as usual. On Tlursday afternoon Alr. Moses G. Hanauer, the junior partner, went before Judge Donohue and asked for the ao- pointment of a Recelver. , His application was granted, and Mr. Henry D. Babcock was appointed. To-day Mr. Babeock qualified by furnishing bonds in $400,000. This firm dida large business in iron, coffee, spices, grain, and general merchandise. The failure was’ owing chiefly to the shrinkage in values of coffee and iron.” No one In " this country is aftected by the failure. . B ITEMS. CONSOLIDATING THE LAND LEAGUES. * NEW Yong, Jan. 29.—All branches of the Irish National Land and Industrial League were representea by delegates last evening at a meeting of the central body in Academy Hall. Reports were received from the vari- ous branches, which ‘showed their finance and membership to be constantly increasing. A committee of ten “was appointed by the Chairman to confer with a similar committee from the Mott Memorial HalliLeague, to form a basis of union and push tlie cause of the Land League with renewed vigor. “This action will bring about a consolidation of the Land Leagues throughout the whole country under one head, and managed by ‘one Ex- ecutlve Council, and is the most important step tgken in the cause of Ireland since “Mr, Parnell left America.

Those whose interests’ are bound in shipping ex- press the greatest alarm now “that it is au- thentically said that the, to them, obnoxious bill will soon become alaw. “Among the meny important amendments which have already passed is that which requires all toreign vessels to besubject to the inspection lawsof the United States. When the bill was first brought before the House itcreated an unusual excitement in the shipping cireles of tuls city, and a remonstrance of foreign steamship agents, as far as referred to foreign vessels, was at once promulgated in down-town circles, and the petition, after receiving the signatures of every firm en- gaged in the shipping business, was for- warded to Washington.

" THE JEANNETTE. An Estimate Prepared of the Cost of . an Expedition to the North Pole, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. ‘New York, Jan 20.—The Herald’s Wash- ington correspondent says: e Commodore Jeffers bus prepared a careful estimate of the cost of equipping a vessel to ‘soarch for the Jeannctte, which nwaits the sig- nature of Sepretary Gofl. He thinks the United States steamer Wachusett -just the vessel needed for the search. The oost of Atting her out will be $100,000. The Commodore says: 1 presume the Pres|dent will send a special mes- sage to both Houses of Congress. setting forth substantially what Justice Daly has embodled in. his letter. The cstimatesand the viows of the Navy Department will uCcompany such a messnge, so that there. will be no reason for misunderstanding the object of the nppeal.

Calumet Avenue Residences Raided by Climbing Thieves, It was evidently & man who was unacquainted with the ways of the Chicago police force who sald “Thara new broom sweeps clean,” while talking the other day to & very large taxpayer and well-known citizen. The latter remurked to a TrIBUNE reperter, “Iam afraid that - Garlglo 1s too much in favor of the policemen for-tho good of the people‘of Chicago.

Of - course the detectives were promptly notitied, and Lieut. Snea, & man of . big’ .physique and corresponding jmportance, went over from the Twenty-second Street Stauon to look up the case. It is pretty certain, from all. the intormation that could be gathered, that neither Shea, Cur- rier, nor McGarlgle took .u very freat interest in the matter, and 3r.

McGarigle yesterday - morning an- nounced the recovery of $1,040-more of the Unlon Iron & Steel Compnny’s money, and late inthe afternoon he turned over to Mr. J. B. Stubbs, Vice-President of the Company, $5.- 216.25, the total amount thus farrecovered. The Iast package wus recovered through the pris- oner, Thomas Finucane, and in preeisely the same manner ns-the .other 1o packages,—that 18, from tho bottom of a lour-barrel in the gro- cery on Archer avenue. It wa3 with consldera- ble difficulty that Finucane wus induced to give up this last parcel, for it was bisshare of the plunder, and he hoped to decelve the police into belleving that the' $4287 first recovered by them was all he had. It 1s quite likely that the '~ money first recovered was the Cavanaugh brothers’ spare, and out of which they were to pay all the inci- dental expenses, such as hush money to the Hopkins brothers ‘and others, who may have known of or taken part In the conspirucy. From the facts alrendy ascertuined the police incline to the opinion that-there were tive men engaged in the actuul commission of the .robbery, three of whom went Inside which two remained on guard outside the office. The Cuvanaugh brothers ure belleved to bave been of this ive, and Finucane may have been. one of the lookouts. This leaves two, and per- haps three, persons whom the police have yet to capture, and, though their identity is unknown, _there is reason to belleye t they do not, like those alread: nder arrest, long- in that section of the ity but are expert and professiona! thieves and sufe-blowers. “'If this is the cnse, no more of the noney will be recovered uutil this other end of the cuse Is worked out.

Dr. George AL Reard. . The best asylums of Europe are not enormous or imposing buildings, but series or collection of small or moderate-sized unlmposing cottages or bouses. Iu Europe, as in America, allenists began by placing the insane in gigautic palaces, and there, ns bero, ‘they are finding out that with the increase of insanity, which could not have been anticipated elther hergor there, there must 1150 be a change in the method of the con- struction and arrangement of asylums, although many large buildings remain. The institution at Alt Scherbitz has six or elght cottages, asmuil distance from each other, each cottage be!nfi 2l about the size of a moderato country home,— plain_ brick bulldings, pleasing in appearance outside, and comfortable in reulity Inside. - The Royal Edinburg Asylum Is composed of five houses, seprrated by a _consideraple distance; between the so-call Houso” there 15 a space of almost a mile.

Standing in Salt Lake City and looking south, one sees several notches in the otherwise continuous range rising thousands of feet above the Great Salt Lake Valley. These notches are cafions, long - and deep, piercing the range, down which | low streams fed by melting snows and i springs. Big Cottonwood and Little Cotton- lwand cafions seem only a short distance away, but they are miles distant, the latter veing nearly twenty miles from the city. A railway runs to the foot of this caiion and is operated by locomotion; but.up the cafion the tramway of ten miles is too steep for steam, and animal power is used-to take up'the 'llxt{tly-loadcd cars, -which- are then sent down loaded with ore and are held back by means of strong brakes. The cafion ismar- on each side-for thousands of feet. The tramway is placed close in the baseof the hills on the north side, and is covered with sheds 5o as to carry the snow over in case of slides. i 3 Near the head of the caflon is HE TOWN OF ALTA, with the mountains reaching to the hight of to or three thousand feet above. All these hills are so steep'that it is difcult for men to pass ‘up and down except by paths wade zigzag-cut in the sideof the steep mountains. - These hills are the home of the great mines of Little Cottonwood, sich as the Emma, Flagstaff:and scores of others, which are known far and wide because’ of their great production of silver. Mathinery, tunnels, shafts, and miners’ cabins dot the surface, and through the summer hundreds of men are busy in getting out ore and send- ing it off to market. 1n, the summer season ¥ | Altais e 3 A ROMANTIC AXD PLEASANT PLACE to live, because one.is there removed from the - heat of - lower altitudes, and at night the air is so cool as to require fire for comfort, and the weary rest under heavy blankets.

While it is clear and pleasant down in the valley of the great Salt’Lake, Nature ispil- Ing up snow on the high peaks of the tower- g Wasatch, and this snow lying on the steep sides, is ready to rush madly down. A step of the passer-by ora blast of powder aown deep in the mines below, may start a slide— which carries aestruction with it Every year numbers of hardy and brave miners are swept away in these slides. Dur- ing the past two weeks the disasters have been sad and many. Alta City, which was supposed to be in a safe position, has been CRUSHED AND DESEKTED, . and was the witnessof many appalling scenes. Nine bodies were sent down to Sait Lake at one time for burial. Some of these, after be- ing caught and enguiféed in the slide, suffered: death by burning in the cabins, thus -leaving nothing but the' charred unrecognized remains. Brave miners and citizens volunteered to dig passes out of the débris, and many h:utprendth escapes from the, fury of the slidés are reported. BHESELESEELREE R EY: Yankton........ e —————— MR.
