To-night is the closing night ot the six- day horse-bicycle chase at the Coliseum, and, judging from the crowd in attendance last night, which must have embraced fully 8,000 people, an immense throng will be on hand to see the finish. Owing to a rather severe illness, Baldwin did not ride last night, and Miss Woods was substituted in her stead. Of course, the favorite was badly missed from the scene, but the pros- pects are she will be able to go on to-night; yet she may not be abie to do so. The riding last night on both sides, was very svirited, and the bicycliennes succeeded in " cutting down the lead of the horses to the narrow margin of one mile. Miss Brown, who is also consid- erably indisposed, did the vest riding, and ‘was greeted at every. turn by the generous gl:\l its of the spectators. She "?s remem- red by a most elegant basket of flowers, und in her last fifteen minutes on the track rolled off nearly fifteen wiles. She is a fine rider and is improving daily. - The score: Miles. ansé S 327 3 The Last Cnance. The forfeit money posted with the sport- ing editor of Tur Bee by Mavager Eck on behalf of Misses Brown, Woods and Bald- win, and by ‘‘Senator” Morgan on behalf of Miss Oakes, for a sweepstakes race with Misses Stanley and Williams, will be left open until this evening, It must strike all fair-minded and disinterested lovers of sport that the action of Messrs. Kck and Morgan has been straightforward and open, They have strenuously endeavored to get on araco with the backers of Stanley and Williams, but all to no avail. Eck and Morgan assert that they care nothing for the gate, but in defense of their own clainfs. and in answer to the numberless “cracks’” that have been made at the riders under their manazement, they are perfectly willlng to putup their own mouey 1n the maintenance of their claims that they have the best. and the fastest iady bicycle riders in the world. The public can only conclude that they are right, Result of the ame: K‘J 1.1 Bicycles. . e Horses. A Business Challenge. On behalf of W. F. Knapp, I hereby chal- lenge Jack S. Prince, ‘‘Senator” Morgan, Robert Neilson, Ned Reading, Albert Shoclk or Signov Mardis, to_ride a bicycle race of 5, 10, 25 or 50 miles,’ for $100, the race to come off any day next week at the Coliseum, ad- mission free. 1 have this, the Hist day of May, deposited the full amount, $100, in the hands of the sporting editor of Tue Ber as an evidence that I mean business.

Drs Moises, In, May 81.—[Spocial Tele- gram to Tug Bee.|—A special from Vinton, Benton county, says: The vicinity of Van Horne is in a state of unwonted excitement over the work of an organized mob. Some days ago Mr. Frank Bean aud Mrs. J. W. Hughey had a quarrel about the possession and use of the stalls in a stable on a farm. Mrs. Hughey used a pitchfork in a struggle with Bean, and he, in turn, hurt her pretty badly. A night or two afterwards the house of J. T. Bean, the father of young Bean, was boldly entered by fifteen or twenty masked and armed men and the family nssaulted in a dastardly manner. They pro- ceeded to Frank’s room, but the latter met them at the door, armed with a piece of iron two feet long, and beat them back. He laid out six of them as fast as they advanced, and no less than five shots were fired by the wob, and the house was spattered with biood. Frank, who did the most of the fighting for the family, received a flesh wourd on the leg by a knife or from a pistol shot. The mob even struck at Mrs, 13ean, who was sick in bed. The next morning F. K. Tabor, of B'fi Grove township, came to Vinton with_a bad pistol shot wound in the left elbow. He was arrested, and the sheriff started to Van Horne, where he arrested Clint Aundrews, Gus Hussey and Bill Carter. It Bores a Square Hole. WATERLOO, Ia., May 3h—[Special to Tne Bee.]—A Charles City genius has recently perfected and patented a machine which is known as an augur, for ‘‘boring a square hole.” The name is a misnomer, for it is not really an “augur,” but a combination of knives. However, it does its work success- fully. In appearance 1t resemblos an ordi- nary boring machine, except that in place of the augur there are four seta of knives ar- ranged on an endless machine that is worked by u series of cogs. The first set of knives cuts across the grain of the wood and the others gouge the wood out, 8o that when the lust set passes through the mortise is com- pleie. Tkere is a guage connected with the machine by which a mortise can be cut to any desirable depth, and the work can be done as rapidly as a hole the same depth can be bored with an ordinary augur. The ma cuine is the invention of atelegraph operator named Young, and a stock company 18 being organized to manufacture the machines and put them on the market. prrrdS ity The Road to Be Sola.

One of the Disgusted Stookholders Speaks His Mind. A SMOOTH CONFIDENCE GAME. Burlington Northern's Forty Per Oent Cut n Freight Rates—Annual Statement of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. How to Capture a Railroad. Cnicaeo, May 81.—[Special Telegram to I'ne Bre.]~The plan of reorganization, of the Wabash Western purchasing committee, does not meet with unanimous favor among tho stockholders. Said one of them to.day: *‘The whole thing looks to mo like a very smooth confidence game. In the first place, Joy and Asbley induced all the security holders except a few bondholders, to pool their securities and elect a purchasing com- mittee to buy the Wabash railway. We elected Joy and Ashley as tho purchasing committee, with the understanding that their duties were to consist only in buying the road. Then we, the stockholders, and the debenture bondholders, were to elect the board of directors. Instead of this plan being carried out, Joy and Ashley give notice that they will themselves vote all the stock and elect the directors, and consequently dictate the management. After all this is done we are to receive stock in the new com- pany in exchange for our old stocic. T understand the plan of Joy and Ashley to be to elect tho latter as president of the consolidated road, and Edgar T, Wells, of Mexican International fame, as vioe-presi- dent. That simply means another wrock for the Wabash. I know the majority of the stockholders are against the plan, and would far sooner seo Receiver McNulta made presi- dent, but the whole lot of ns can’t produce a share of stock.

It wus determined to call a meeting of the Western Freight asso- ciation for next Tuesday, and.see1if some ‘way could not be devised to induce the Bur- lington & Northern to again advance the rates. Meantime all the roads ordered new tarifts, based on the reduced rate, the Rock Island to go with the other roads in the cut in spite of vheir former decision to the con- trary. The opinion was very freely ex- pressed that the Burlington & Northern re- duction was an outrage, and would meet with retaliation when opportunity offered. The Omaha through rates will also receive a shaking up, owing to the reduction. Through business from all points, west of the Union Pacific connection with the Northern Pa- cifle, must be carried at the reduced rate by the Union Pacific, or it will lose the whole traffic. This may lead to a readjustment and possibie break 1n rates sast of Omaha, The Burtington Statement. Carcago.

When the physician finally arrived and administered emetics the girl was be- yond recovery, but it is supposed Bell will recover. The cause of the suicide is a com- plete mystery. The young couple were lovers, and there was no opposition to their marriage, The police are investigating. The neglect of the other occupants of the house to summon a physician at once is attributed to stupor or indifference superinduced by drink. e Hon. L. A. Kingsbury Dead. YANkTON, Dak.

ERIN, ISLE OF SORROWS. A Son of Ireland Quotes a Typloal Case of Landlord Despotiam, A “Son of Erin,” writing the editor of the Boston Globe, says: The vuthless tyrant still pursues his hideous work in Ireland. Here is a sample of the latest act of barbarism in that misgoverned country: correspondent of tho Kilkenny Moderator writes: ‘‘I have just re- turned from the smouldering ruins of a farmer’s dwelling about a mile and a quarter from where I write, on the main road to Kilkenny City. I mustsay the barbarous occurrence can have no other effect than_to intensify the unfriendly foelings which for some fime past ex- isted between Major Hely of Foulks- court and his tenan who are numer- ous in this locality. The facts of the case, which has thrown the town and country all around into the wildest ex- citement and indignation, are, as far as I could ascortain them, ns fol- lows: James Kavanagh, of Seven Sis- ters, the evicted tenant, is over seventy years of age, and since his eviction about seven weeks ago has boen living with a delicate wife, with a man named Phelan, of Donoughmore. In March, 1888, Kavanagh was scrved with an ejectnent for £55, 17s, 3d ono yoar’- rent and arrears, ending 29th of Seps tembor, 1887. He farmed about six- teen or seventeen acres, the yearly rent having been raised from £16 to £20. Kavanagh endeavored to make up a year’s rent, which he offered to Major Haly and his agent, Mr. Hanly, of Thurles. It was refused, and Kavanagh having been evicted an emergency man of Haly’s took possession of the place. On Tuesday about 10 o’clock, a. m., two men arrived on a side-car from Thurles, provided with crowbars, and at once set to work on the front wall of the house which soon gave way, showing within a kitchen in the centre, with parlor and bedroom at either end. When the front had been battered down to the level of the windows-sills the roof gave way,and the thatch was then set on fire, aud all the timbers, doors and windows shared the genoral conflagration. Wh reached the the place about p. m. the black walls und gables were still enveloped in smoke and I unoticed a window, with frame, shutters and linings placed over a strong little fire whi > ; men had purposely it for their con- sumption beforo leaving. 1 have never seen & man so self-possessed as Kava- naugh was at the pitiful sight of his burned home fronting the Seven Sister Hills, which rise behind towards the east. Here he had spent his years from his childhood, and here it was that his grandfathers had strug: gled out an honestlivelihood for upwards of two hundred years. Even if such conduct as bas been vractised on Kava- naugh should have the effect of squeco: ing impossible rents out of the unfortu- nate tenants in miserablo tillage land, a burned house should have a sorrowful reminiscence for Major Hely, for it was within the present charred walls of Violet Hill mansion close by that a no- table member of his {x\miiy once per- ished. Well, the poor man who has witnessed the burning of the,old homestead where his forefathers dwelt some two hundred years must have felt the iron of oppres- sion enter his soul. But when will this cruel war be over? Not until home rule is granted. Then despotism must cease. L WOMAN AGAINST SERPENT. Mrs. Strait Vanquishes a Boa Con- strictor in a Dark Cellar. One of the most perilous battles be- tween a woman and a large boa con- strictor occurred at Grand View last evening, says the Kansas City Trave! About 7 o’clock, as Mrs. H. N. Strait, the handsome and accomplished young wife of H. H. Strait, of the Wyandotte Plumbing company, descended into the cellar of their residence on Sixteenth street, Grand View, she was starsled by a loud hiss and two fiery red eyes looking directly at her. Returning with a lamp the lady discovered a large snake hud- dled arouna a piece of wood. Taking a coal shovel in her hand, Mrs. Strait prepared to do battle with the monster. ‘The first blow seemed to infuriate the reptile, and with a louud hiss it sprang at the now thoroughly alarmed but brave woman. A blow from the shovel knocked the thrust aside, and with the rapidity of lightuing the snake aguin prepared to strike. Iive consecu- five time did the huge mouster retreat and then plunge through the dimly lighted air atthe woman who was s0 nobly defending herself, At last a well directed stroke knocked the reptile to the floor, and seemed to stun it fora moment. ‘The glittering eyes hud now become two fascinating balls of flame and the great fangs worked with awful velocity. Following up the blow Mrs. Strait succeed in killing the boa, und with fast failing strength she reached the floorabove, where help soon reached her. Mr. Strait is in Wyoming territory, where he is largely interested ina newly discovered mica mine, and his wife was alone with the servauts. A party of neighbors were summoned and the snake carried into the woodshed 1t proved to be a boa constrictor and measured 11 feet and eight inches from the head to the tip of the tail. supposea to have escaped menagerie, . prosumably the circus, which is now at Armourdale. el 1t, Detroit Free Press: ‘‘Hannah,” she began as she called the girl into the sining-r]'mm, “huven’t I always used “Puid you the highest wages and given you many afternoons out?” “Yes'm,” “Well, then, T want to ask you a question, and receive an honest an- swer,” **Oh, ma’am, I’'m going to quit!
