BY JOHN D. DAVIS. UDSON, N. Y., July From Poughkeepsie the run to-day was fast and fine, the motor working perfectly until we reached Red Hook, where a new road, apparently solid, gave way, throwing the carriage into the ditch, but not upsetting it. The sudden jar snapped a brass casting that controls the valve on the rear cylinder. It took nearly three hours to repair the break, and then it was done with a bit of brass and some solder. We struck some speed later, and the friction melted the solder, causing a second delay of half an hour. The solder again gave way, and we came into Hudson at § o’clock with one cylinder working. The roads to-day were excel- lent at times, and again miser- able. Our road meter shows a distance of fifty-seven miles traveled. We used five gallons of gasoline. All grades were easily made, most of them at second speed. The entire route has been the scene of a continual reception, people having been out every- Where to greet us and express interest in the trip and the car- riage. To-night a new combina- tion of steel is being made, and we will be ready to start early in the morning. Colonel Charles S. Rogers, for- merly of Governor Flower's staff, entertained us this even- ing. AD ROADS TRAVERSED BY_ THE AUTOMOBILE - | But the Machine Is Now in Good Running Order, and Better Time Will Be Made. HUDSON, N. Y., July 15.—Weary but not in the least disheartened by exas- | perating accidents and tantalizing al- | ing of good and bad roads that have thus far made their progress in the automobile tour from New York to San Francisco slow, Mr. and Mrs. Da- Vis came into town on a very badly crippled motor at 5 o'clock this after- noon.

Rogers, formerly of | | Governor Flower’s staff, to-night. Thelr | | troubles began at Red Hook. The trip from Poughkeepsie had been pleas- | | ant and easy up to that point. They | found the only road through the village | torn up by roadmakers, who, believing | that a firm foundation is a good begin- | | ning in road construction, had piled the street full of rocks, varying from six to ten inches in diameter. They left a side space of apparently hard dirt, and Mr. | Davis steered for this, only to find it| | soft and yielding. One side of the mo- | tor instantly sank, and the carriage | would have been overturned had not | Mr. Davis skillfully headed it into the | ditch. The motor could not be stopped until after it had climbed the sidewalk and had threatened the Cestruction of | L R o e e e ] ‘ N 4 WE AT PRact EATTENTION RERY{\HE B tvfi?flF RSED v 1 THE Ho! » DavIS.

In mounting the patch, the pettycock of the motor with which Mr. Davis has had go much trouble, and the brass valve adjuster, or controller, were broken. The accident necessitated a three- | mile tramp to a blacksmith shop that | proved fruitless. The controller was soldered and a new seat was made. As soon as speed was made the solder melted and another delay ensued. The crack in the controller was finally closed by means of wire and the jour- ney was once more resumed, although only a slow rate of speed could be | taken. No further accidents and no in- cidents worthy of note occurred. Mr. and Mrs. Davis have been re- i cetved with great enthusiasm during | | of the strange lup in a pose of open-mouthed wonder- | then long reaches of the most execrable | fast running and for the prevention of R O O RS SHORS e s o * b 5 ¢ G- i o TEEP GRADES « FACHINE DID'NT aezug..

After the accident at Red Hook they were met by a farmer, who insisted on dining them at his home. The motor has proved a great novelty in the rural districts. At Liv- ingston a ball game was in progress as | the motor approached. At first sight | wagon going without horses the umpire called the game, and the crowd that a moment before had | been cheering the winning side lined ment against the fence. The only op- position was shown at Red Hook, where | a burly roadmaster, who was also con- | stable, threatened Mr. Davis because | he had not an outrider preceding him | to warn horsemen of his approach. Mr. Davis has much to say of the con- dition of the roads. He finds stretches of the finest that could be desired, and that could be imagined, turf and big stones being materials used in annual roadmaking as conducted under the ex- isting management. The broken parts of the motor were replaced at a ma-| chine shop in this city this evening, and Mr. Davis now thinks his troubles from breaks are at an end. He says the car- riage Is getting into excellent condition, | the severe tests given it in climbing | over the hills from Yonkers to Pough- | keepsie having worn it more nearly to | the ease of the bearings required for | | hose kinks and binding that character- | ize the operatiom of all new machinery. | Mr. Davis is suffering severely from an | “automobile arm,” a painful condition | of muscles similar to rheumatism. He would have gone on to Albany to-night | but for the pain in his arm, partly | caused by a bad wrench received when he went into the ditch at Red Hook. | The start for Albany will be made| earlv to-morrow morning, where a stop | for breakfast will be made.

Ceurers were hastily dispatched for Chief Alden of the jute mill police and Guard Randolph. Alden declared that only two such weapons were in use. to | his knowledge, and that they were used for -cutting holes in belting. directors declared that a knife with an inch blade was sufficient for such a purpose and Director Devlin added that the incorrigible cells filled if better discipline were not main- tained. Hunter was sent to the incorrigible ward for life, as was Willlam Phelan, for having struck another prisoner over the head with a shuttle in the jute mill. Warden Aguirre’s report contained a number of recommendations as regards prison reforms. A suggestion that the yard be better lighted by electricity met the favor of the board. Better bathing facilities were represented as an abso- lute necessity. The cost of construct- ing two bath houses will approximate $1100. On motion of Wilkins it was de- ecided that the cost of each be estimated in order that they may be built sepa- rately.

The farmer's | | eleven-year-old son entered the yard and | | tried by throwing stones to make them cease fighting. Both of the infurfated ani- | | mals rushed at the lad at the i tant. He ran for the barn and was over- | taken while opening the door. As they | tried to gore him the horns of the infuri ated animals became locked and they | again started to battle over the boy’s | prostrate form. Hearing his agonized cries for help, a! farm employe rushed to the scene and, | perceiving the little fellow’'s plight, he | quickly procured a pitchfork and started to jab both the bulls with a will. His detérmined assault was victorious and the enraged animais were put to flight. The unconscious boy was carried to the house and Dr. Cavanaugh was summoned. He found that his patient’s right hip had been disjointed. his leg badly torn and | other injuries of a minor nature received. | While the wounds are severe, no fatal | result is expected. |SOCIETY WOMEN TO RACE WI!TH AUTOMOBILES Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and Mrs. Lor- illard Spencer Will Be the Competitors.

Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gor- | don Bennett. LONDON, July 15.—People growing tired of dukedom and | dom claimant cases, about which | much interest was aroused, and we | had not heard anything about them for | a long time, but they have suddenly | come to the front again. Two of the| most important are the claims to the | dukedom of Hamilton and the earldrom | of Buchan, and they are now creating | a sensation in Scotland. Colin G. Hamilton, the claimant, | made his appearance on the island of ‘Auan, which is one of the Hamilton possessions, and took up his residence in Brodick Hotel, but the angry na- | tives made it too hot for him, and he is now in Glasgow working up his case. | He is following the plan of the well- known Mrs. Druce, and claims that he is the supposedly dead Liord Charles Hamilton, whose burial was a bogus | one, and that the grave is full of bricks. One thing true is that no med- | ical attendant was present at the death of Lord Charles, an undertaker at Nice signing the certificate of death. were earl- | s0 Leader, however, that Gunn's story is true, not about Lord Charles but con- cerning the method employed to.rid the country of a near relative now domi- ciled in the States and criminally afraid to set foot in England. The case is to come before the court shortly, and is expected to be a prolonged one. | Two claimants to the earldom of | Buchan have come to an arrangement. Erskine, the Chile claimant, is to stand aside, while Milton Bradford, the Lon- | don solicitor, has his try; then, Brad- | ford failing, Erskine will have a shot at it. | A lot of fun may be made of Mrs. | Druce in her claim for the Portland title on behalf of her son, but there is something pathetic in the persistency | with which she is pursuing it. It is not| so much the faith she has in her story which is amazing, but the number of | People whom she has contrived to win over to her side. She evidently ceased her activity only through having spent | all her ample means in her melancholy chase after a bigger fortune and title | for her son, but about $100,000 has been raised by private subscription, and soon she will appear in the law courts | to lodge an appeal against the last de- | cision for an opening of the Druce vaults, which went against her. “ | MAYBRICK WAS AN EATER OF ARSENIC Important Evidence Placed in the Hands of Embassador | Choate. | NEW YORK, July 15.—A Norfolk, Va., special to the Herald says: Prob- ably the most important bit of late evi- | dence brought to light in the case of Mrs, Maybrick has been furnished by | C. F‘ Greenwood, a jeweler of this city. Mr. Greenwood does not believe that Mrs. Maybrifk poisoned her husband. but that his death was due to his long use of arsenic. He has made a sworn statement that Maybrick was an ar- senic toper. The affidavit has been sent to the State Department, and through that department to Embassador Choate in London. | Mr. Greenwood says that several years ago, when the Maybricks resided in Norfolk, he became acquainted with Mr. Maybrick’s passion for arsenic. “He came into my store one day,” said Mr. Greenwood, “‘and taking a smali pack- age from his yest pocket extracted a tab- let. Holding it in view he said: ‘Green- wood, if you tdok that I guess it would kill 'y asked him what it was. “Arsenic,” he replied. Surprised, I said: “Why do you take them? Some day they'll kill you. To which Maybrick lightly replied that the tablets relieved him of nervousness, from which he suf- fered. “It's a well known fact that Maybrick was a confirmed arsenic eatsr. ~Why, there are numbers of people here who can testify to the fact. 1 made the afdavit | because 1 was and am still impressed with the belief that If efforts in Mrs. May- | brick’s behalf are continued it will be demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt | that she is what I believe her to be--in nocent of the foul erime for which she has | been so unjustly punished.” - NAPA ASYLUM INQUIRY.

It was agreed on account of the rumors of mis- management to make an investigation of | Napa at an parl{, date. In speaking of to-day’s meeting Dr. F. W.

From an Old School Physician as to Its Merits. There are many systems of medicine by which we attempt to heal the human body, and make it free of disease, ranging from the science of Allopathy down to that of Hydropathy.. How far they have succeeded time has ~abundantly shown by the number of their failures, as well as by the number and nature of their cures. In the cure of pulmonary disease, Dr. Aborn has stepped out of the old beaten track, and adopted a system so simple, direct and natural as to recommend itself to all Wwho are suffering from catarrh and disease of the lungs, of a character defying cure by any of the old methods of treatment.

As a physician he has in this city, where he sojourned during the summer, given proof of great, if not remarkable, skill. 1 am acquainted with many of the persons in this State whom he has cured of diseases that were considered incurable, and have been at several times a witness to his expertness in difficult cases, J. S. CLARKSON, Editor Register. His Former Visit to the Pacific Coast. Dr. Aborn arrived in San Francisco on the 2Ist day of October, 1869, from Wash- ton, D. C.

SAN JOSE, November 23, 1869. 1 have been afflicted with severe nasal catarrh for two years, which & few months since extended to my throat, producing a distressing cough and seriously impairing my health generally. 1 have been under the treatment of Dr. Aborn for about three weeks, and have been already greatly relieved; my cough has almost disappeared. and my health greatly improved. By one application Aborn relieved me of a severe neuralgic pain, and with four applications it was itirely cured. 5. 0. HOUGHTON. From Charles N. Fox, Esq. (Office of Campbell, Fox & &mpbelcl,uAluurneyl and Counsellors at Law, No. 538 ifornia_St) BAN FRANCISCO, February 19, 1870, ve done to suffering humanity by & o N s § Were it not for the good which 1 hope It may informing them where they could find rellef, I should regret having given Dr. Aborn my little testimonial of the 10th January, for the demands made upon my time in apewering inquiries in regard to him have been more numerous than profitable to me; and_still they come. To save the necessity for further personal application, let me say to those who care for my opinion that time has only strengthened my first favorable opinion of Dr. Aborn, and my confidence in THE PERMANENCE OF THE CURE Effected by him. All my difficulty arose from catarrh, which had become of & serious character, affecting the hearing and the throat, giving me at times acute pains and at others rumbling sounds in the ears, frequent headaches, and so seriously affecting the bronchial tubes as to sometimes disable me from public speaking. It is all gone, and the change was produced, not by the practice of putting medicines into the stomach, which was not affected, but by the skillful application of medicinal remedies Qrectly to the parts which were diseased. I have found the Doctor & gentleman in his intercourse and business, and the judgment that I have formed of him professionally is, that he i a regular physician, thoroughly acquainted with the anatomy of the hu- man body, and possessing a remarkable degree of skill la the treatment of those diseases which he makes his specialty.
