WasHINGTON, Nov. 17, 1874. The trial of the alleged safe burglary conspir- ators was resumed this morning. After the Court | was opened tne Judge directed the jury to ree | tire and then inquired If Hayes was in court. | Mr. Riddle informed the Court that Hayes went | to New York on Saturday night. Jadge Humphreys said thac he had fully con- sidered the subject and had written out his state- ment, which he would submit. He then recited | the clreumstances of the arrest of Hayes, which | he characterized as an extraordinary proceeding | and an attempt at lawlessness and intimida- | tion almost unprecedented. He claimed that this | Court had sole jurisdiction of the case, and had entire contro! over Hayes. These remarks were made Ww show the enormity of tne proceedings | and that the offences were almost without par- allel. He claimed, even in a murder case, the Judge had a right to control and sex aside com- mitmeuts aad fladings. He would treat tais woole proceediug as a huuity and order the release or | Hayes and his bondsman and thus wipe ous this | ; attempt to oostruct the obtaining of the full taccs in this case, and Would treat tms whole proceed- ing of the commiting court as naught.

Daniel O'Leary's Walk Agninst Time— Time the Winner by a Few Minutes, {From the Chicago Tribune, Nov. 13.) Daniel O'Leary yesterday attempted to walk & distance of fifty miles in eight bours and forty-five ininutes, for a wager made with A. H. sportsman. The conditions of the match were that if O'Leary accomplished the task he was to receive $100 Irom Mr. Libby, and if be lost he for- fetted a similiar amount, the winner to defray all expenses. O'Leary is about twenty-six years of age and built for an athlete. He stands five feet | Mine anda half inches and his carriage 1s erect. Early and late he tolled at his calling— book peddling—and his fare, meantime, was not, as may be supposed, !uxurious. Trying to eke out an existence, he bravely continued his rounds of the city every day, and thus ne acquired that strength of muscle and long-windedness which fire necessary qualities in @ pedestrian, His style of walking is the purest; there is 2o deceit in it, heel and toe, straight on. He steps a little more than the military pace, and with such regu- | larity and elasticity that his movements, though quick, seem sinvoth. in that he differs irom Weston, the Eastern walkist, whose gait is most | uneven, sometimes degenerating to the snumie, This maton against time attracted a good deal of attention. O'Leary Was said to have performed astonishing feats a3 an atmbulator, but they are not | of record, no reguiariy appoluted reierees to watch his gait and measure the course and no | Fecognized time keepers being present. But on | this Occasion it was Known that tue most essential Of these purticuiars would be seen to, and many who doubted nis ability determined to be present, | The trial took place at the West Side Kink, on Kanuolph street. One o’clock was the hour set jor the start, but it was not effected until hatte past twoP.M. Mr. W. B. Curtis, whose connec: ion With athletic games has ever been marked With fairness, acied ag time keeper, and also satis- fied himselt that the course was properly meas- ured. The attendance was not large ut the out- set, but toward evening admirers and conjectur- ers flocked in, until at one time the spectators numovered close on five hundred. O'Leary tailed Of lus task, but not to his dishouor, for there is not on record better time tor tne distance covered than he made, and he should be as the ventive | god who bever 1alis his part,” did he succeed, for uo Man ever undertook sv heavy a task under such disadvantageous circumstances. In the tirst place, the circuit uf the rink is short, which obliged him to make thirteen und one-ffth rounds to complete a mule, or 660 rounds to nish; secondly, the flooring Was Dad and ont of joint at places; tuirdiy, the hall was cold, cheerless, damp and altogether so disheartening that one should possess a “heart of oak” tO successiuily Withstand its depressing influences; { iy, the light—-ic is mockery to so name it—was just such as an oad penny candle, sprouting {rom the neck of & pop botile and placed at wide intervals, afforded; and lastly, tue track Was not kept ciear, and every scalawag who thougut he could “uo some walkin’ trotted on | the coarse, to the annoyance of O'Leary. ‘Yhe start was made at hall-past two and the fn- | ish at a quarter-past eleven P. M., he having then | | travelled locty-eight miles and avout one-quarter | ola” ,ile, or 638 Circuits ol the rimk. 18 best | Maile was the eleventh, which be walked in nine | minutes and twelve seconds, mile he was ten minutes aud tweuty seconds be- hind. It was known then that fatigued as he was he could not make up for the lost time, yet he Kept on boidiy and bravely. On the Jorty-second mile be put on @ killing spurt aud kept tt up, amid cheers irom the spectators, lor jour circuits. Af- When he “ended the torty-fiith mile he had only Linke pee Minutes and Jorty-one seconds to finish. He knew it was hopeless, yet piuckily he continued until Mr. Curtis called time at the expiration of the eight hours and forty-five minutes, Qpproacied the time-keeper, surrounded by a great many Iriends, He expressed a disinciination to finish the distance, and said, “Gentiemen, | have done ali 1 couid.’’ That statement, woico appearances would warrant one to believe, dissi- pates the insinuation tuat he did not want to win. Mr. Libby then called for three cheers for O'Leary, and vis call was responded to with vigor. | He then said:—“Gentiemen, Mr. O'Leary has ace complished a feat which tas never heretotore been approached nearer than an hour, his periormance I will hand over to him the entrance moneys, which amount to about $130.7 Tuis ttle speech received ita merited ap- plause and all then separated, ‘he opinion of men who have long been patrons Of the sport 18, that O'Leary, alter some traimmg— he has never, it is said, properly traiued—can | walk the distance witnio the specified time. ‘fhe 1oL:owing 1s @ synopsis O1 the walking:— ————T1E, ——— Mile.
