Jtiatgtr Bcralj-a Writes a Very laporUrt Lttto Ota tiI Spcrtitg Hews ef tit Day. It is orer 31 years since a trotter first took a record of 220or better in harness, and to rule; the heroine of the then unexampled feat being the "little bob-tailed mare," Flora Temple. The performance took place on October 15. 1809, at Kalamazoo, Mich. James D. MeMann, who drove her on that occasion, was an old-timer of over 50 years of age then. He died in Brooklyn but a few days ago, after liviuc to see many perform ers surpass the mark established by his favorite, and the best on record placed at 2:08,. "Sonc could successfully compete with Flora Temple in her dar. She first trotted in public September 0, 18oO, over the Union course, on Long Island, under the name of Flora, and her best time was 2:49 Two jears later she cained some local celebrity, come; as fast a ::3G, and in 1S53, bavins trotted as low as 2:27 over the Centerrillc court e, sbe was thought jrood enough to campaign, and made quite a tour through tbe West and South. She was almost invariably victorious in her races. InlSoO she gained a record of 2ilJJ. which made her the "Queen of the Turf." and he wore this crown for 11 years. In 1S59 she lowered her mark of 224K first to JB2, then to 21& and, last, at Kalamazoo, on October 15, loL-JJW,. Hack In the Times. It is difficult for the lovers of trotters in this generation to realize how stupendous that per formance appeared in its day. It was the talk of the country. There were a few prophets who did not hesitate to predict that it would j ct be surpassed; but the most able writers for the sporting periodicals agreed thai the rate of speed was high water mark, and that the child was not yet born who would live to sec another trotter beat 2:20 in harness. The war followed shortly afterward and the Industry of training trottere and the sport of racing them fell Into disuse, and for eight . ear the pessimists had the best of it- But In" lb67. over the Buffalo track. Pester upset all their calculations by trotting in 2:17", and it was not long befnre a number of others, like Goldsmith Maid. Lady Tuorne. Lucy. Anitncan Girl and George Pal mer, succeeded in entering the 2:20 list. Year bv rear its ranks have been added to, and the Ami, in presenting the complete list of all trotters entitled to this honor, has thought it best to remind readers how short a time ago It was Mat such feats were deemed well nigh impossible. There are no less than 376 names in the table, and in order that students of such statistics may realize how rapidly It has grown of late, the horses are grouped under the year in which they made their best record. The fastest mark for a trotter is likely to remain nneqnalled lor years, as lias been tbe case with the 23S?i of JIaud S. but the general advance of the great body of crack fivers toward it is cntinuocsand irrepressible. Some member of that band is certain to depose the reigning queen. A Keinarkablo Increase. Of the 376 animals in our table, 91 made their best records in IKK), and a large majority of these are newcomers to the 220 list, whicn in creases annually at the rate of at least 23 per cent. In ten years it bids fair to be larger than the 230 list wis ten years ago, and to supersede it as a basis for registry and studbook pur poses. The 2J0 of Snnol in 1S90 does not aopear In the table, because she earned precisely that recordasaS-year-oldin 1S3U. The fastest per formance ot the f eason. as a new record, is the 2:10-iof the stallion Kelson, which was made at Cambridge City, Iud.. over a regular oval track, and not one of the new-fangled, kite sbaped courses, which increases a horse's speed by several seconds. This adds greatly to the merit of the performance. Kelson holds the fastest record fcr a stallion. His sire. Young Itnlfe. was bv Tom Roltc. dam Judit'j. by Draco. Tom Rolle was Dy Pugh's Aratus. dam the paciLg marc Pocahontas, who made a l ecord of 2:17J.J to wacon. as long ago as 1S55, driven by James D. McMann, the same veteran that piloted Flora Temple to her 2:I9"!. The dam ol Kelson was Gretchen, by Gideon, a son of Hamblctonian. Gretchen is a good brood marc, but the wonderful soeed of Kelson doubtless finds its main spring in old Pocahontas, whose blood breeds on without fail. For Instance, her sou. Tom Itolfc, trotted in 2:3334 ,a lt(J9; his son, Young Rolfe. trotted in 2-214 in 1SS4. and would have made a much faster record had he not fallen dead in a race at M Stic Park. Boston; and the latter's son. Kelson, trots in 2:10 in 1S90. "What will the get of Kelson do in 1900? The next best lecord of the season is the 2:114 of tbe California stallion. Stamboul. and he is still on the warpath for Kelson's scalp. The 2:121iof Jack, and the 2:12 of Margarets come next in point of speed. Electioneer in Front. Senator Stanford's Electioneer heads the sires of 220 or better trotters with 14 of his get in the list: George Wilkes is secoud with 10; Kutwood and Princess have 6 each: Bine Bull, Red Wilkes an.l Volunteer 5 each; Aberdeen, Alcvone, Almont. Jr. (Hamlin's). Governor ftnrague, Guy Wilkes, Kentucky Prince. Ma'tertodc and Strathmore 4 each; and Al mont. Belmont, Dauntless, Dictator. General Knox. Hambleioman, Happy Medium. Mam bnno King and Young Jim have 3 each. Of these sires. Guy Wilkes, who was foaled in 1S79. is the youngest, and his future promises to be very bulliant. Among these 21 sires of great speed we find but G w ho themselves have records of 2:30 or better, which appears to sup port, as far as it goes, the theory ot undeveloped stallions being tbe best for stock purposes, of v hich argument Mr. C. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo, is tbe founder. 1KB. Flora Temple, b. m., by One Evcd Kcntnctv Hunter. .'.2:19J 1667. Dexter, br. p., by Ilambletonian -iVH 1MB. J.ailyThorn, b. m., by Mambrlno Chief.

VERY POOR OUTLOOK JOE AH7 POSITIVE BUSINESS IN CON GEESS THIS WEEK The Election's Bill Debate Will Take Vp the Senate's Time Unless Republicans Agree on the Financial itUl Many House Mem bers Leave for Home. "Washington-, Dec. 2L It is unlikely that any positive legislation will be achieved in Congress this week, and the failure to take the usual holiday recess is not expected to result in any measurtable advancement ot tbe public business. In the Senate the elections bill will probably continue to en gross attention, and the list of the pros pective speakers now in the hands of the Vice President is large enough to war rant the assumption that they will, if uninterrupted, consume the first three days of the week. Tbe probabilities of an interruption hinge altogether upon tbe re sult of the negotiations now in progress among Republican Senators upon the subject of tbe caucus financial bill. If a harmonious under standing to support this measure is reached, tbe elections bill may be laid aside in its favor and tho discussion in tbe Senate turn on finan cial matters, until tbe day berore Christmas, when, it is expected, a recess will he taken un til Monday. Itisprobablj that successive adjournments for two or three days at a time will mark the course of the Hnusa during the Christmas holiday season. No business of im portance is , expected to be done, as so many members have left Washington for home that a quorum can hardly be secured. Hie House is prepared to take a recess for the customary ten days or two weeks, bui the temper 01 the Senate was found averse to this, and at a meeting of tbe Wajs and Means Committee yesterday, when Mr. Mills' resolution was con sidered, a decided opposition way manifested to placing the Honse in the position of desiring a ten days' holiday when the Senate wanted to go on with its work. Monday is District of Columbia day, and the House will probably pass upon local legislation uutil some measure is proposed upon which a vote is demanded and the absence of a quorum thereby disclosed. Such other days in tbe week as tbe House is in session will probably be de voted to comparatively unimportant measures, and to roll calls on motion to adjourn. Several appropriation bills have been reported, and an effort may be made to pass some one of these BOLD TRAIN "WEECKEES. Their Attempt to Capture a Paymaster's Car Frustrated. Woodville. Miss.. Dec. 21. A most diabol ical attempt was mado yesterday afternoon to wreck tho pay traiuof the L., K. O. & T. on the Woodville branch of that road. The pay train, after paying off the employes of the road, left hero and bad proceeded two and one-half miles from the place when tbe engineer in turning a curve, saw a man at a distance of 40 yards de liberately pull a rail away. He immediately reversed bis engine, called for brakes, but it was too late, and ere the echo ot his whjstle had died away the entire train was a wreck, but fortunately none were seriously injured. S. A. Bradford, a resident of this place, was recognized as tbe man who pulled the rail and is now In jail. It appears that be and another party entered into a conspiracy some mouths ago to do tbi3 deed, and whila planning were overheard by -V. E. Fugler. They, in turn, discovered (hat their conversation had been overheard by Fugier,-and threatened that if he. Fugler. would not go with them they wonld kill biro. Fugler consented to their agreement to assisrtbem. Fugler impai ted what informa tion be had gained 10 the officials of the road in Meuiphi, and they, desiring to bring the guilty pirlies to justice, made Fugler a decoy. Upon lea vine Memphis tbe officials of tbe road captioned the crew of tbe pay train that an at tempt would be made to wreck and rob them on the Woodville branch, and for further pro tection they sent two of their detectives along with the train. While danger was expected, they thought tho attempt would be made fur ther down. Upon seeing tho train turning the curve Bradford pulled tho rail. Discovering that he was not successful he ran, but 'ere he bad taken many steps Detective laird started after and captured him as he was about to enter bis house and brought him to town and delivered him to Sheriff Lewis. The motive that prompted the deed was to rob the car, as it was supposed that Paymaster French had about JIO.'JOO aboard. Fine embroidered night shirts for holiday presents' James H.

STRANGLED HIS WIFE Because She Was Knil'tins Stockings for Christmas GiJ(s, . THEH HE CUT HIS OWN THROAT. 'Terrible Donble Crime of a Chicago Han Caused by Jealousy. EFFORTS TO SAArE TUB MUKDEEIUR'S LIFE Chicago, Dec 21. Henry Christiansen, Cl years old, choked his aged wife" to death in the bedroom of his home, at 2109 Drezel avenue, and then cut bis own throat, some time during Saturday night. The tragedy was seen by no one, and the exact time it occurred is unknown. Mr. and Mrs. Chris tiansen have been living with their daughter and son-in-law. They were absent until midnight. "When Mrs. Nelson went to the room to waken her parents this morning, her first glance did not show anything wrong. Approaching the bed, sbe was horrified to see that her father's face and breast were all bloody, and as he breathed spurts of blood came from the groat gash in his throat. In a moment she had called her husband, and they attempted to waken the mother, only to lcafn that she was dead. The blood on the yarn and on the blade showed thattlie act had been committed early in the night, as the fluid was dry. Christiansen was still alive and conscious. He could not speak, but conld understand what was said to him. Christiansen Acknowledges His Crime. When asked if he had killed his wife he nodded affirmatively, and a horrid gurgle came from the wound in his throat as he at tempted to reply. As he acknowledged the crime he motioned with his bands to show how it had been done. He also signified that he had cut his own throat, and pointed to the razor as be nodded bis head, sending spurts of blood out and over his sbirt. He cannot recover. It I difficult to find a motive for the crime. Christiansen was somewhat nioroe and taci turn, but was not usually quarrelsome. His son-in-law suggests that he was somewhat jeal ous of his wife. She was knitting stockings for Christmas presents, and this did not please tbe husband and ho talf objected. Possiblvthis enraged him last night, as she frequently set up to Knit after he wanted ber to go to bed. The supposition is that sho Uid'not go to bed when he wished, and he threw her on the bed and then choked the life out of ber. She was found in the bed, but with her clothes on. Neither Had Gone to Bed. Christiansen was also in. the bed by her side, but was undressed. The razor was tied with yarn oil: the nail from which Mrs. Christiansen had been knitting the objectionable stockings. It seems more than probable that the crime was committed whilo Mr. and Mrs. Nelson were down town, as Ihoy heard no noise what ever after their retirement. Up Halsted street as fast as the horses could fly the patrol wagon bore the murderer and would-be suicide to tho county hospital, a dis tance of nearly 12 miles. There was a gaping wound in his throat, from whlcb his life-blood was flowing fasr, and it was a question if the man would not die before half the distance could be made. In less than an hour after leaving Grand Crossing the patrol wacon was at the hospital door and the attendants quickly at hand to lift the stretcher on which the man lay and carry him to his ward. Sewing TJp tha Murderer's' AVonnds. Tbe man was an awful sight, his clothing drenched with blood and a mass of clotted blood about his scarred throat, through which he managed with difficulty to breathe. Drs. Hector and Graves, the bouse surgeons, were in attendance at once. They found the pulse exceedingly feeble from the great loss of blood. Tbe wound, while not exactly reaching from ear to ear, was fully five inches in length. It had severed the external jugular vein in tbe left side, also tho carotid artery, slightly nicked the muscular tissue, and wbeu tbe larynx was cut half across one conld view tbe workings of tbe vocal chords and epiglotis. The immediate treatment consists ot, sewing up tho incision in the larynx with catgut sutures, after which the patient could articu late distinctly. Tbe wound was then closed and a drainage tube inserted. The loss ot blood and tbe pain of tbe operation reduced tbe action of tbe heart so low that hypodermic Injections of morpbine.were used tn restore ir. During tbe day his daughter, Mrs. Nelson, called to see biro, and left word that if any change occurred that 'word should be sent to ber. and the physician added significantly, "the cLange will come to-ntcht."
