Mr. Hummel produced a pleasing young lady, Miss Blanche Howard or Marie King, according to the reader’s fancy, who told f between Corbett and a ood or Stanley. The companionship of these two was really y shocking, and so Mr. Hummel in- to the referee with righteous indig- on. Mr. Corbett had a lawyer present at the hearing, a placid and unobtrusive gentleman named David Sullivan, but he didn’t interfere at all with Mr. Hummel. It was 11 o'clock this morning when Referee Jacobs signified his readiness to proceed with the hearing. Mrs. Corbett, Miss King, Mr. Hummel, Mr. Sullivan and a Mr. Wilson were in the room. Mrs. Corbett conld very well have been cast for the part of Innocence, but she really looked more like the frequently pictured but rarely seen summer girl. Thecomplainant appeared in a brand new costume, calcu- lated to melt even a stony-hearted referee in a divorce suit. Her skirt and waist were of white duck, and where they came together at the w a costly belt ap- peared, adorned with a handsome gold buckle. A gold chain and chatelaine were suspended from her neck, and a neat white bow tie of mannish design encircled the pink and white throat. A white sailor hat admirably set off its wearer’s blonde, curly hair. White gloves covered Mrs. Corbett’s hands and white shoes completed the cool appearance. Lawyer Hummel, probably in deference to the costume of his principal, was adorned with a spotless white four-in- hand tied with the lawyer’s usual dex- terity. Miss King had on a dark skirt, with a blue-striped shirt waist, black tie, white sailor hat and gray gloves. When everybody was comfortably seated Mr. Hummel called his witness, who admitted that his nameis Jay H. Wilson, and spelled out the first name. He lives at 40 West Twenty-eighth street and is a member of the “Trilby” Company. Mr. Hummel be- gan: How long have you known Mrs. Corbett? For three years, and her husband about the same length of time. By whom were you originally introduced to Mrs. Corbett? By Mr. Corbett. Did he introduce you to Mrs. Corbett as his wife? He did. At the time you were introduced to her she was a member of the company, was she not? Noj; she became a member later. You cannot be mistaken that the lady here to-day is the real, simon pure, unadulterated, genuine Mrs, Corbett ? She is. Have you ever known & woman known as Vera ? Idon’t know her personally; I have seen her. Where did you see her ? In the defendant’s company. Was she in the custom of yisiting at the theaters? Sheused to come to the performance with him. During what period of time? From about a year ago until eight weeks ago, when Mr. Cor- bett closed his season at St. Louis. Have you been in Cincinnati during the present theatrical season? Yes. ‘Were Corbett and Vera registered? Yes, she used to go to all hotels with him. And the woman who went with him was not the complainant in this action? No. You remember visiting the Burnett Hoase, Cincinnati; the Park Hotel, Madison, Wis., and the Cameron House, La Crosse, Wis.? Yes. Were Corbett and Vera registered at those places? Yes. You have known Corbett to introduce Vera as his girl to a man named McVeigh? I heard of the introduction. Have you seen Corbett and Vera dine to- gether af hotels? Yes. Have you seen Vera go to Corbett’s dressing- room while he wasdressing? Yes, whilechang- ing his eostume. Was Vera known in the hotel as the wife of James J. Corbett? Yes, by the clerks and man- ager. That is the plaintifi’s case, may it please you Honor, announced Mr. Hummel. “I have mno cross-examination,” said Mr. Sullivan. “If the court please, on behalf of the defendant, I move for the dismissal of the complaint, on the grounds that the allegations of the plaintiff have not been sustained, and also that thereis defective proof and also a failure of proof.” ““We have set forth a seriesof allegations in the complaint charging defendant with a series of acts, and have brought home to him actual commissions at the Burnett House in Cincinnati, on a sleeping-car, as testified to by Miss King, which testimony has been very strongly indorsed by the last witness, showing that from the time this girl Vera was with the defenant in this action, they lived a life, so to speak, of illicit relations until the time of bringing this suit. Their guilt has been established. If that were not so, Mr. Corbett. can very casily come here from the State of New Jersey and contradict the allegations of these witnesses,” answered Mr. Hummel. “You understand, Mr. Sullivan,” said the referee, “‘that under the new law a de- fendant in a divorce suit.is allowed to tes- tify in his own behalf?” “Yes, I know that,” replied Mr. Sullivan. “I will deny your application for the present,” continued Mr. Jacobs, “and give you an exception.” “I would like to have until to-morrow to determine whether I will put any defense,” said Mr. Sullivan. “Any defense would be made merely for the purpose of justify- ing the defendant. If I do not putin any aefense I will ask that the motion I have made be considered as having been made | at the end of the case.” An adjournment was accordingly taken until 10:30 o’clock to-morrow morning. BARHIDED [N A COURT, Summary Punishment of a Flirting Ex-Building In- spector. The Insulted Woman Says Her Vic- tim Chucked Her Under the Chin. OMAHA, NEBR., July 26.—Mrs. Louisa Franklin horsewhipped J. T. Tilley, ex- City Buildizg Inspector, in the Police Court to-day. The trouble commenced on July 11, when a warrant was sworn out by Mrs. Franklin, charging that Tilley had in- | sulted her in a meat market by chucking her under the chin. The trial was held to- day. Mrs. Franklin was present with her witnesses. On the stand the woman did not make nier own story very strong, and when the witnesses, the employes of the meat mar- ket and others who were presentat the time had told their stories, Tilley’s exon- eration was comnvlete. During the prog- ress of the trial Mrs. Franklin asserted that the trial did not end her case, and she proposed to have satisfaction. 1 As Tilley was leaving the courtroom the enraged woman stepped up behind him and belabored him with a rawhide, which she carried concealed until that time. She struck her victim at least ten heavy blows. Tilley ran out, then back, followed by Mrs. Franklin, who declared she eould get satisfaction in no other way. Tilley en- tered the courtroom to seek protection of the police. Officer Boyle interfered and placed the woman under arrest. e EASTERN ELECTRICAL MSTORMS. Lightning Caused Death in Several Localities. ELDORA, Iowa, July 26.—Two inches of rain fell here to-night. A hailstorm passed through the center of the county from northwest to southeast. Corn in that district is all destroyed. Much damage has also been done by the lightning. ROCKFORD, [1vn., July 26.—A terrific electrical storm passed over this city to- night. One man was fatally injured. GALENA, Iun, July 26.—Houses are flooded here by a cloudburst and many washouts are reported on the lines of the various railroads running in here. Tele- graphic communication with the north is impossible, as the lines are down. EAU CLAIRE, Wis., July 26.—Clara Scamish, 18 years old, was instanly killed by lightning at Altoona City to-day. One boy was paralyzed, three men stunned and several houses burned. ZANESVILLE, Omuro, July 26.— This evening as Frank Dickinson and Newton Bowers were crossing Salt Creek bridge, about twelve miles east of here with a trac- tion engine, one of the spans of the bridge went down instantly, killing Dickinson, and crushing one footand badly scalding Bowers. e Racing Men Arrested. CINCINNATI, Omro, July 26.—It be- came known to-day that twenty-two men were arrested at Oakley racetrack late yes- terday afternoon. The men arrested in- clude every bookmaker, sheetwriter and all other employes of the ‘‘bookies.” The warrants were sworn out by the Rev. J. J. Hopkins, pastor of the Norwood Presby- terian Church, and Dr. J. Weyr. The charge 1s that of receiving bets on the speed of a horse, which is contrary to the laws of Ohio. o s The Town in Danger, BRADFORD, Pa., July 27.—A message from Glen Hazel early this morning says a fire started at 12 o’clock in the lumber- yard of Wood & Co. and at present has spread to four or five dwellings. The town is in danger. Assistance from Bradford has been asked. eilis Reaffirmed the '92 Platform. MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, July 26.—At the Democratic County Convention held here to-day delegates to the State conven- tion were m\met‘ig and the platform of 1892 was reaffirmed as to the money question.

HORRORS OF HOLMES, Gathering . of Evidence Against the Murder- ous Swindler. WIVES PUT TO DEATH. The Father of One Victim Tells the Story of a Terrible Killing. FIRST SMOTHERED BY ' GAS. Then the Unfortunate Woman’s Body Was Cut to Pieces and Burned. CHICAGO! Ix., July 25.—Holmes is at least guiltless of the murder of little 1l-year-old Cora Quinlan, whatever his other crimes may be. Cora is the daughter of Patrick Quinlan, one of Holmes’ hench- men, and the police feared for her safety. To-day the following telegram, which sets at rest the entire matter, was received by Inspector Fitzpatrick: LAKOTA, MicH., July 26.—Cora Quinlan is et Johnsons’, and has been here for two weeks. N. 8. TAYLOR, Justice of the Peace. The Johnsons referred to are the grand- parents of the little girl. Mrs. Quinlan, who has always maintained an air of crafty reserve, was forced to admit to-day that she had lied to the officers on at least one point, and this had the effect of weakening her story. Her husband spent a large part of the day in the sweatbox, and as a result of to-day’s developments Chief Badenoch decided to formally hold both for trial on the charge of being implicated in varieus insurance swindles. He also believes they are guilty of the crime of assisting Holmes, if not directly, at least indirectly, in mak- ing way with some of his victims, but the charge of fraud is quite sufficient to hold them, and no other will be made just at present. Joe Owens was brought in to refute one of Mrs. Quinlan’s statements, and he told her flatly that she had lied. Owens will probably be released to-morrow. Mrs. Quinlan was forced to admit daring the course of the examination thatshe had impersonated a dead woman, representing herself as the beneficiary of a fire insur- ance company in order to gain tlie money, which, of course, went into Holmes’ pocket. Little of a startling nature was found by the workmen in the old house at Sixty- third ana Wallace streets. A stained table, which the detectives at once jumped to the conclusion was" discolored by blood, was unearthed. They think it may have been used for the gruesome purpose of cutting up victims on. Two or three more bones, pronounced by competent authorities te be those of human beings, were also dag up. William Capps of Fort Worth, Tex., is here to-day looking after the interests of the Williams heirs. He believes that the deeds to the property were forged. He tells the following story: B0 SO “The two Williams girls left prop- erty by their uncle, Dr. Williamsi. While both were in possession of it, Minnie was the real owner. Both girls were well edu- cated, well behaved and virtuous so far as is known. It is scarcely possible they could have been corrupted by Holmes in so short a time as has been stated. Min- nie, after she became of age, started to organize a theatrical company and sunk $15,000 in the project. She shortly after that came to Chicago and there met Holmes. In June, 1893, she wrote to her gister to come up and visit her; that she was very wealthy and was going to marry Harry Gordon and take a trip to Europe. After her sister came Annie wrote a letter to forward her trunks, which were sent on in June, but were never called for. The trunks were finally returned to her aunt in Mississippi. The deed to the property was purported to have been made to one A. Bond in April, 1893, I believe there is no such person. The property is worth $50,000. This deed purports to have been acdnowledged before Holmes as notary in May, 1893. “An investigation shows that he did possess thisqualification. The deed was not sent to Texas until June, 1894. Iz was not properly acknowledged, and was returned by the clerk so that it might be made tg conform to the Texas laws. Shortly after this Holmes and Pietzel appeared in Fort Worth under the aliases of Lyman and Pratt. They came to sell part of the prop- erty, which they got $1500for. On the rest of it they built a house, which is almost exactly like the one in Chicago, evidently made for selling purposes only. “Quinlan was with them in Texas. Holmes and Pietzel got in debt to nearly everybody in town, and then left the city. Idon’t think there is the slightest ques- tion that Holmes killed the Williams girls. His story of one killing the othet with a chair is too absurd to be believed for an instant.” BSeveral other witnesses were examined, but none made any startling revelations. Chief Badenoch said at the conclusion of the day’s work: “I don't believe I ever saw a case where we made such slow prog- ress. Most of the evidence we hawe had is utterly worthless, and out of this great mass of chaff we are obliged to sift the wheat, and it is very thin at that.” The missing girl whose name the police have been keeping from the press is Miss Wild, a Chicago girl, wbo has not been seen or heard from for two years. She was employed as a clerk for Holmles about two months before her disappearance. She was 16 years old then. in the spring of 1893, and left her home to go to work as usual, and never returned. She was pretty, and Holmes affected to. be sur- prised when told of her disappearance. Colonel Jonathan L. Belknap,an uncle of the father of the Wilmette wife of Holmes, who has resided for many years at Big Foot Prairie, L. I., has made a startling statement to the police regarding the death of Mrs. Julia L. Conner. Accord- ing to his statement Mrs. Conner was killed by Holmes in the Englewood build- ing four and a half years ago. He believes she was asphyxiated in her room while she slept. Herroom was a small dark ane ad- joining the dark bathroom. Mr. Belknap’s theory is that the mur- derer entered the woman’s room by the secret door from the bathroom, when he killed her by turning on the gas, carried her body to the bathtub, cut if to pieces and fed the parts to a furnace-like fire in the stove. When the process of cremating was com- folete. Holmes carried the bones and ashes the cellar and buried them in_ quick- lime. Colonel Belknap, who served in the Union army, was one of the men whom Hoimes tried to victimize. : became acquainted with Holmes {'practically unknown. through his nephew’s relation to him. When Holmes learned that “Uncle” Belknap had a comfortable fortune he tried to swindle him out of it, and did get aloan of $1000, which was never repaid. After escaping from Holmes’ clutches Mr. Belknap went to reside at Westons Mills, Cattaraugus County, N. Y., where he is now. The police have letters written by him to friends here which show that he and his wife spent Christmas with Holmes and Mrs. Conner, that he helped Holmes carry the stove through the secret door into the bathroom adjoining MMrs. Con- ner’s room, and that the same night Mrs. Conner disappeared, going to Omaha, it ‘was said, MINNIE WILLIAMS CAREER. In Denver She Was Known as a Very Nice Girl. DENVER, Coro., July 26.—The unfor- tunate girl Minnie Williams, whose life went {0 pay for her affection for the monster Holmes, was known to a consider- able number of Denver people, and is yet remembered with sad interest by them. Miss Williams, her brother and sister came to Denver from Texas in the early part of 1892-93. She and her brother were seekers after health. They took rooms at the Devonshire, an apartment-house at 1425 Logan avenue, and very soon became very popular with the guests of the house. They lived in a considerable degree of style, and gave evidence, unostentatiously, of having means. Minnie was about 25 or 26 years of age, and besides being ap- parently well educated was an accom- plished elocutionist. She had studied elocution in Boston. She appeared, in fact, for three weeks on the stage of the old Fifteenth-street Theater, a_stock com- pany then engaged there giving her the opportunity. The quality of her efforts is not very clear to those who remember her as a reciter, though she seems to have made a vivid impression. She was quite pretty. Women who knew her then describe her now as “a sweet and lovely girl.” They affirm of her character that it was gentle and nct weak, and that her feeling for Holmes, whom she knew as Harry Gordon at that time, what- ever it was, was no headlong infatuation for a romantic hero. The brother died in the latter part of the winter, and the sis- ters took the body home to Texas. The three were orphans. They had inherited money from their uncle. ‘The impression prevails among those here who knew the girl that she met Holmes, whom she knew only as Gordon, in Chicago. Her fortune, though not very large, apparently was large enough to attract Holmes and to prove her own undoing. She married him as Gordon,with what result is but too well known. He appeared in Denver some time after the World’s Fair and teld various friends of the girl that she had married and had gone to India with her husband. Whether this was before or aiter the murder of the girl cannot be learned. Holmes married the girl in Chicago, where she seems to have known him while studying there be- fore coming to this city. NOT VERY PROBABLE. Minnie Williams of San Franocisco Hardly Holmes’ Fictims. PHILADELHHIA, Pa., July 26.—Wil- liam A. Shoemaker, counsel for H. H. Holmes, the alleged multi-murderer, said that the Minnie Williams who was mur- dered in San Francisco last April was about the same ageas the Minnie Williams mentioned as a possible victim of Holmes. He also pointed out that the girl murdered in San Francisco had no relatives and was, These facts lead. him to_suggest thatthe Minnie Williams of San Francisco might be the missing girl. [Minnie Williams, who was murdered in Emmanuel Baptist Church, had a step- father who had failed to support her. She was compelled to earn her living asa do- mestic.] PILOT CHART OF THE PACIFIC. Reported Discovery of a Develict Danger- ous to Navigation. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 26.—The August pilot chart for the Pacific Ocean, published by the Hydrographic Office of Navy Department, notes the appearance June 21, 1895, of a derelict large wooden ship at about 50 deg. north latitude and 150 west longitude, mast and wreckage adrift; also of a large log ohserved June 29 at 36 deg. north and 138 west. The following in- formation is also printed on the chart: Currents in the North Pacific during the summer months of June, JulI and August are indicated ou the pilot enart of this month for the first time, their compilation naving just been completed at the Hydrographip Office.

Y., July 26.—The news has come by way of Baltimore from Rome —and as Cardinal Gibbons is abroad there seems no doubt that the announcement is semi-official—that Mgr. Satolli, Papal delegate in this ceuntry, is to be recalled to Rome to be mdde a Cardinal and to be attached to the personal staff of Leo XIII. This is a promotion and an important one, and it is said to be the personal act of I, who has been much impressed by the lblhty and diplomacy that Satolli has dlunlnrgd since he has been in Amer- ica.

WAS FIRM TO THE LAST. Made a Parting Speech Before the Fatal Spring Was Touched. HERRICK'S DEATH AVENGED. Story of the Bold Killing for Which the Law Took Fredericks’ Life. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Car., July 26. William Fredericks was hanged here this morning for the murder of W. A. Her- rick, cashier of the branch bank of the San Francisco S8avings Union. The doomed man made a short address from the scaf- fold, but otherwise the execution differed nd at all from the ordinary and had scarcely an incident worthy of record. The crime of which it was the expiation was committed on March 23, 1894. Fredericks’ last night on earth was a. very -comfortable one. He retired at 9 o'clock, requesting Death Watch Aldatras to call him an hour after midnight. His sleep was sound, and when roused at the hour appointed he found his couch too comfortable to leave, and requesting that he be called again at 3 o’clock he rolled over and was asleep in an instant. At no time during the night was his sleep troubled nor did he exhibit restlessness. At 8 o'clock Fredericks was awakened. He rose and dressed and passed an hour with his prayer-book. At 4:30 o’clock he returned to bed and slept again, the death watch having to awaken him for break- fast. The morning hours were spent witn the prayer-book, the condemned man ceasing the perusal of its pages only to listen to the exhortations of the priests, who arrived from San Rafael about 9 o'clock. At 9:55 o’clock Warden Hale entered the condemned man’s cell. He announced the hour of execution, and Fredericks re- marking “I am ready,” leaned against the wall while the death warrant was read. Now that the hour of execution had ar- rived matters proceeded with awful ce- lerity. Four minutes from the time that the warden entered the condemned cell Fredericks walked into the death chamber. The Warden and the prison chaplain headed the procession and two priests fol- lowed. Fredericks himself was very pale, and Captain Lunt held him by one arm in case he should need support. His step, how- ever, was firm and he glanced curiously upward at the rope as he ascended the gallows. As he stepped on the trap Warden Hale said: “@Gentlemen, Mr. Fredericks wishes to say four or five werds. Please keep as quiet as possible.” The condemned man then spoke his pre- pared “last words,” as printed in the Cavy this morning. He had, however, im- perfectly memorized the words and faltered and simpered over the perform- ance like an embarrassed schoolboy. Once he had to be prompted by Father Lagan, but he carried it off well, and ex- cept for a scarcely perceptible tremor at the words “I die,” his voice was as un- concerned as when the day before he had asked for a light for his cigar. At the conclusion of his set speech Fred- ericks added: “The One who is above all, blessed be his name forever, amen.” The “amen’’ was shot forth with an em- phasis which showed considerable strain. ‘When Captain Lunt dropped the noose over Fredericks' head the latter turaed to him and said: “Make it good and tight.” Lunt did so as the black cap was ad- justed, then stepped back and raised his hand. The trap crashed and Fredericks dropped the length of the rope. Only three minutes had elapsed since he en- tered the chamber, and only seven since ‘Warden Hale had approached the cor- demned cell. Life was declared extinct in twelve and a half minutes, and the body was cut down and placed in the cheap, black prison coffin. Fredericks carried the secret of his crimes with him to his grave. A short time before his execution he indignantly denied a rumor that he had made a con- fession, and also asserted his innocence of the killing of Sheriff Pascoe of Nevada County. The thres sons of Pascoe were among the hundred or more witnesses to the execution, and a statement was made that their presence was due to an oath that they had taken over their father’s body to avenge his death or witness the execution of his murderer. R. H. E. Miller; a cousin of Herrick, the murdered cashier, was also present. The crime for which Fredericks fo-day paid the penalty was one of the boldest in the criminal snnals of this State. In broad daylight he entered the branch bank of the 8an Francisco Savings Union, near the corner of Fell and Market streets, ap- proached the desk of Cashier Herrick and demanded money, enforeing his demand by presenting a loaded revolver. Herrick hesitated, and Fredericks pulled the trig- ger. The cartridge failed to explode, and Herrick reached for a revolver. Several shots were exchanged, and finally the cashuer fell dead. Fredericks fled, but was speedily capiured. After conviction Fredericks essayed to escape the gallows by feigning insanity. He refused food, butted his head against the wall, and even set fire to his cell. ‘When taken to San Francisoo recently for sentence he created an uproarin the court- room; but since he reaiized that his at- tempted deception did not deceive he abandoned all efforts in that direction. There remain in the condemned cells three men under sentence of death. They are: Freeman Smith, who will die on the 9th prox. for the murder of two fishermen in Colusa County; Marshall, the River- side assassin, and Miller, who killed an old pawnbroker in Marysville. Before the execution Smith joked about the event, but after the drop fell he joined in a re- quest by the condemned that no one be admitted to see them. GATLING GUNS FOR ROYALISTS. Awrms for the Hawaiians Said to Be En Route From the East. TACOMA, Wass., July 26.—Six Gatling guns, intended for the use of the Hawaiian royalists, are said to be en route to Puget Sound from one of the Eastern States. The Hawaiian Government learned that they had been ordered, and recently sent a secret service agent here to intercept them. This agent arrived last week and gives his name as H. H. Allan. He bears cre- dentials signed by high officials of the re- public. He told the Northern Pacific offi- cials that he did not think they should carry ‘contraband articles over their road. They smiled and said the road would haul all freight offered. ' If the guns arrive Allan will notify the customs authorities and ask them to stop their shipment. His belief is that they will be loaded aboard some lumber schoon- erand shipped to Hawaii. He has em- ployed a geatfle detective to watch the Great Northern there. Railroad men say they have no knowledge of the guns. Al- lan thinks the royalists are &anning for & demonstration next September. MUST TAKE THE OATH. Governor Budd’s Manifesto Regarding Foreign Mili- tary Societies. Allegiance to the United States a Requisite to Their Organ- ization. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 26.—After the close of the late session of the Legisla- ture considerable comment and anxiety became prevalent among the members of foreign military organizations in the State as to what action would be taken on the amendment of section 1942 of the Political Code, making it unlawful for bodies other than the regular organized National Guard of this State and the troops of the United States to band together as a military or- ganization, or to drill or parade with arms, in this State without the license of the Governor, which license may at any time be revoked and amended. A new section (734) to tbe Penal Code to the same effect was nTprovod March 26. This afternoon the following manifesto in reference to the law was issued from the Governor's office: Many applications having been made to me by various military organizations in this State, s ng within the scope of sald law, request- ing permission to parade and drill with arms, Now, therefore, in accordance with the ower and authority vested in me by said law, , James H. Budd, Governor of the State of Caiffornia, will permit such military eom- panies or organizations to parade and drill wlllll arms only on the following conditions, to wit: First—That the oath of allegiance to the United States and the State of California be taken by each member of such military com- pany or organization #o drilling or parading. Second—That said oaths be filed in the of of the adjutant-general of Celifornia, with an agreement by said organization that at any and all times, when called upon to defend the Government or uphold the laws of the United States or of the State of California, or in cases of emergency, such military company or or- ganization will piace itself and its arms and equipments under the anthority and control of the executive power of the United States or of the commander-in-chief o the State. Third—That a copy of the constitution and by-laws of such milliary company or organiza- tion, asking such a license, be first filed with, and be approved by, the Governor. Fourth—That no flag or insignia_except our National or State flags shall be carried in the ranks of said military company or erganization while they are drilling or parading with arms, Such companies or organizations desiring a license to drill or parade with arms are re- quested to comply with conditions 1,2 and 3, and agree to also comply with section 4, before such leave will be issued. James H. Bupp, Governor of California. oAt ddeien ZIEGLER WON ONE RACE. The California Demon Kept Up His Record for Speed. NEWARK, Ono, July 26.—The honors of to-day’s race meeting of the National circuit given by the Newark Cvcling Asso- ciation, at the fair grounds track, belonged to Murphy of Brooklyn, N. Y., the veteran, who has been on the path longer than any other American racing man, and Ziegler, the little California ‘‘demon.” Murphy won the mile epen, Ziegler the half-mile open, both of them defeating Bald and ek isi 1 the d e most surprising race of the day was Murphy’s win of the mile open in &) -5. The track was fast, but a strong wind ble up the back stretch and retarded the men somewhat. Ziegler gave indication to-day of return to the wonderful speed he dis- layed at Denyer last season. He defeated ald, Gardiner, Murphy, L. C. Johnson and Jenny, which ran in the order named, all close together, Ziegler winning by a length. Lee Richardson of Chicago broke his half-mile record, man and wheel back- ward, doing the trick in 1:43 3-5, ten seconds below his former record. S Gold Sent to Canada. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 26.—Gold coin to the amount of $120,000 was withdrawn from the sub-treasury to-day to be sent to Canada, It was paid for in greenbacks and assay office checks.

I did as requested, and the messenger was equdlly obedient. “The smaller robber, who seemed to be quite nervous and ashamed of himself, then entered the express-car, while we all stood outside, covered by the tall man. After the express-car had been looted, a ger coaches was made; the small man searched the passengers and dropped their coin and valuables into the sack they carried. As we entered the smoking-car I noticed a man crouched be- tween two seats on his knees, and immedi- ately recognized Sheriff Bogard of Tehama County. He whispered to me these words, ‘How many? Ireplied ‘Two.’ “The next minute I observed him taking aim at the tall robber, resting his hands and pistol over the back of oneof the seats. At the report of his pistol the tall robber sank to the floor. The other then shot twice at Bogard, who walked backward about ten feet and fell on his stomach over a seat. The poor fellow died in a few min- utes. The small robber then backed out of the car, the while advising us to remain in our respective positions. That is just how it all happened.” i The pursuit of Brady was never relin- quished. Officers have been constantly upon his trail and he has been pursued from one hiding place to another.
