A NEW RECORD ON SKATES.
Joe Donoghue OOCH One Hundred Miles In
7h. 11 in. 38 l-5.
STAMFORD DEPOT, Conn., Jan. 27.— At
8:15 o'clock yesterday morning the signal
was given, and the three contestants in the
100-mile skating match sped away on the
course at Cove pond. The three skaters
twere Joseph F.
Donoghue, aged
18, of Newburg, N.
Y.; A. S. Frank
lin, aged 85, of
New York city,
and John Ennis,
aged 51, of this
city. The match
wasbroughtabout
by a challenge is
sued by Donoghue.
Ennis, who holds
the American rec
ord, at once ac- |
cepted. He made i
100 miles in Chi- j
eago in 1879 in
runs a summer re
sort at Shipman
Point, near here,
and has contested
JOSEPH F. DONOGHUE. in °Jher athletic
events. Franklin,
who is a Norwegian, heard of the match ;
and offered to come up. He states that in
Norway he skated 100 miles in eight hours,
i Donoghue learned to sknte on the Hudson,
i and his father is a boatbuilder and skate
maker at Newburg, and Joe works with
him a great deal.
When the champion made 90 miles in
6h. 25in. 37 3-ss. the crowd could hardly be I
I restrained. On his 92d mile he met with
an accident which nearly put him out of
the race. A small boy darted out of the
crowd on one side of the track and at- j
tempted to cross just as Donoghue came
like wind down the long stretch. The boy ;
i collided with the champion and was
knocked 20 feet in one direction, while
Donoghue fell backward, wrenching one ,
knee and cutting his lip. His brother was 1
at his side and helped him to his feet. He i
was unsteady for a moment, but pulled !
; himself together and gradually resumed ,
his former gait. In seven hours from the
start he had covered 97 miles and 220 yards, j
j making a record for this time. His last
j mile was done in 4m. 3 2-55., and his time j
for the 100 miles was 7h. 11m. 38 l-ss. '
j When Donoghue finished Franklin had ;
j 90% miles and Ennis 85 miles to his credit, j
The best record up to date was that of John
Ennis, made at the Chicago rink, and was
, llli. 87m. 455. Donoghue finished in good ,
■ condition.

Governor Flower on Good llnnd*.
| ALBANY, Jan. 26.—A bill was introduced
in the legislature today embodying the
; views of Governor Flower in regard to the
construction of better roads throughout
i the state. The bill provides that the board
of supervisors in any county, by a majority
; vote, may designate certain county roads,
which so far as possible should be the lead
ing market roads between towns in the j
county, and undertake their repair and !
maintenance, the cost of the same to be a
county expense and to be apportioned :
j among the several towns of the county.
The End In View.
ALBANY, Jan. 31. Governor Flower
i signed the bill appropriating 1700,000 for
continuing work upon the capitol build- 1
i ing. The governor says: "In approving a
larger appropriation last year I quoted the '
I estimate of the commissioner of the capitol '
j that the total amount needed for the com- j
! pletion of the structure was then 12,251,- j
j 025.32, and that by the expenditure of
j SBUO,UOO that year, $700,000 this year and the
! remainder, $750,000, next year the capitol
J would be finally completed.
I Mrs. Lease's Opinion.
ToPEKA, Jan. 26.—Mrs. Lease and Mrs.
| Diggs declare emphatically that the elec
tion of Martin means nothing less than {
the death of the People's party, both state !
and national. Mrs. Lease said: "This is a
; deathblow to the People's party, state and
national. It will drive 400,000 Populists in |
1 the south back into the Democratic party, |
and in Kansas thousands will return to the j
i Republican party. John Martin's election
killed our party, and that is all there is to
it."

has sold his patent on the overhead electric j
trolley system to the General Electric com- \
pany of New York city. A man named j

I terns using an overhead trolley.

FOY'S PLEA INSANITY.
Damaging and Conclusive Kvldeneo Of
fered by the Prosecution.
BALLSTON, N. Y., Feb. 1. —At the trial o
Martin Foy, the Guttenburg tout chargec
with murdering his alleged mistress, Hen
rietta Wilson, Joseph Carswell, Ricbart
Burns and George P. Smith testified t(
having witnessed the murder. Carswel
also testified that on more than one occa
sion he had heard the accused threaten t<
kill the woman. Officer Van Rensselaer
who arrested Foy after the murder, testi
lied that the prisoner admitted the shoot
ing, and declared that he could not bt
electrocuted either. The officer also tes
tiffed to taking the prisoner to the bedsidt
of the Wilson woman previous toherdeatt
and that she fully identified him as the mar
who had shot her. Hon. Joseph W. Hil
opened for the defense, and stated that he
would rely on the plea of insanity to cleai
the prisoner from all responsibility for the
murder.
The jury has been in twice for furthei
instructions on the subject of emotional
and temporary insanity. They will prob
ably disagree. It is said that they stand
7 to 5 for conviction of murder in the first
tlegree.
PROPOSED CONNECTICUT LAWS.
To Investigate Industrial Life Companiei
and Establish Proof In Will Cases.
HARTFORD, Feb. I.—ln the house bills
were presented requiring wheels of wagons
carrying a load of 2,000 pounds to have
tires 4 inches wide; requiring railroads t<
keep bridges and roadways beneath them
it repair and requiring electric railroads tc
have a subscribed capital of $3,000 per mile
before being incorporated. Resolutions
were presented incorporating the Odd Fel
lows' home of Connecticut, re-establishing
a union railroad depot at Waterbury and
authorizing the insurance commissioner to
investigate industrial life insurance com
panies doing business in the state. A bill
presented places the burden of proof that
the maker of a will has not been unduly
influenced upon the proponent where a
prima facie case of fraud or undue influence
lifts been made by a petitioner, and another
bill imposes a fine of SI,OOO and an im
prisonment of two years upon persons keep
ing any room for betting on horse races or
acting as agents for betting firms.
THE DUNKIRK STRIKE FAILS.
The Men Will Be Taken Back Where Their
Places Are Nut Filled.
DUNKIRK, N. Y., Jan. 31.—The strike at
the Brooks Locomotive works is ended be
yond a doubt. The strikers themselves
acknowledge that their case is hopeless.
The strike fell flat when the Brooks peo
ple demonstrated that they could run the
works with outside men. Many of the old
men have returned, and in a day or two the
full complement of workmen will have
been enrolled and the making of locomo
tives move along as before. President
Hiuman says the old men can return if
they wish to, but that competent workmen
now employed will not he discharged to
make room for them. Everything is quiet
around the works.
Mr. Carnegie Talks.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 30.—Ever since the ar
rival of Mr. Andrew Carnegie from Europe
he has been besieged by newspaper men
for an expression upon the recent troubles
at Homestead, but he steadfastly refused
to be interviewed. In conversation with a
reporter, however, Mr. Carnegie talked
freely on the subject.
"1 did not come to Pittsburg," said he,
"to rake up but to try to bury the past, of
which I knew nothing. That is beyond re
call. It should be banished as a horrid
dream, and only the lessons that it teaches
laid to heart for the future. For 26 years
our concerns have run with only one labor
stoppage at one of its numerous works,
and I trust aud believe that even this rec
ord will be fully equaled in the 25 years to
come. When employer and employed be
come antagonistic, each considering the
other its enemy, it is a contest between
twin brothers. There is no genuine victory
possible for either, but defeat for both
capital and labor.
"I desire now, once for all, to make one
point clear. Four years ago I retired from
active business. No consideration in the
world would induce me to return to it. A
great error of our countrymen is that they
endure the harassing cares incident to
business until they break down in the har
ness. when they should be in their prime,
and die still striving for dollars. I believe
In retiring betimes and giving younger men
a chance. I have sold portions of my in
terests and am gradually selling more to
such young men in our service as my part
ners find possessed of exceptional ability
and desire to interest in the business. I
am not an officer in the company, but only
a shareholder."
An Oyster Captain Sentenced.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 81.—Captain Lee Rob
erts of an oyster schooner was convicted of
the charge of cruelty and sentenced to jail
for three months. In imposing sentence
Judge Morris said the story told by the
prisoner would be sufficient to convict.
l'ardon For Murderer Nichols.
NYACK, N. Y., Jan. 27.— Patrick Nichols,
the slayer of Thomas O'Connor on July 3,
1879, was pardoned by Governor Flower.
Nichols was convicted of murder. The
death penalty was commuted to imprison
ment for life.

BLAINE IS IN HIS GRAVE.
' THE DEAD STATESMAN BACK TO
!■ MOTHER EARTH.
i Private Funeral and Burial at the
ItequeHt r Mrs. Bluine-Service* at
the Church of the Covenant-The JSH
tate Valued at sKOO.uo<).
WASHINGTON, Jan. *so.—The body of the
late ex-Secretary Blaine was removed tc
the parlor oil the north sjide of the second
floor of the residence. The windows of this
room open out upon Lafayette square, one
of the most delightful spots in Washing
ton. Across this plot of ground stauds the
state, war and navy building, where the
dead nian achieved his latest triumphs in
statecraft and diplomacy. A number ol
Mr. Blaine's friends called at the house
and took a last look upon the face of the
departed. The expression of the face was
peaceful, and the lineaments of that well
known countenance showed but few traces
of the ravages of the disease that carried
him off. The casket was almost buried
under the mass of floral tributes which
have been received, many of them from a
distance. The first prayers of the funeral
services were said by Rev. Dr. Tenuis S.
Hamlin, D. D., of the Church of the Cove
nant at 11 o'clock.
Notwithstanding the fact that the fu
neral was a private one, the attendants
upon the service were as truly national in
their representative character as if a presi
dent were being buried. The state of Maine
sent a delegation of 14, headed by Governor
Cleaves; Massachusetts a delegation of 5
members. The Union League club of New
York sent 25 of its membt'vs to represent
the organization, and the Union League
! club of Philadelphia 20. From various
other points in Pennsylvania came several
delegates of various societies and organiza
tions. Altogether 100 or more of these rep
resentatives were present. Personal friends
to the number of 05 were present from va
rious parts of the country. Mrs. Garfield
was there and others from cities as widely
separated as Portland and Omaha. The
Maine delegation was invited to attend
the services at the house. Not more than
40 or 50 persons were present.
Services at the Church.
The services at the church as well as
those at the house were strictly private,
j and no one was admitted who had not re
ceived an invitation. The family regret-
I ted that this was necessarily so, as they
appreciated the desire and the motives of
the people who would pay a tribute of re
; spect by their presence to one whose life
has been so closely identified with the his
| tory of the country.
I But the limited seating capacity of the
church and the large number of the dcle-
I gations and officials to be provided for left
no room for the general public.
I The first eight rows of seats in the main
body were occupied by the family, the rela-
I tives and the pallbearers. Behind them
i in order were seated the president, vice
I president, cabinet officers, Speaker Crisp
! and members of the supreme court, with
their families. In the rear of these were
j senators and representatives,
j On the south side of the church were
■ seated the members of the various delega-
I tions aud on the north side the personal
i friends.
| The pallbearers were Senators W. P.
; Frye and Eugene Hale of Maine and John
i T. Morgan of Alabama, Representatives
Thomas B. Heed and C. A. Boutello of
I Maine, Robert K. Hitt of Illinois and Henry
H. I Bingham of Pennsylvania; General
I Thomas Ewingof Ohio, John Hay of Wash
; iugton, Joseph H. Manley of Maine, Albert
F. Jenks of Brooklyn, P. V. P. Ely of Bos
ton.
Mr. Blaine left a will bestowing all his
property upon Mrs. Blaine and making
her sole executrix without bonds. The
total value of the estate is estimated at j
£BOO,OOO.
HIGHLAND DOTS.
If this should Btrike the eve of Con
gressman llines, we would respectfully j
ask him to try and do something for the !
residents of this place in the way of !
postoflice facilities. In these days of :
steam and electricty two miles are en- j
tirely too far to walk to a postoflice for I
a letter or a paper. When this system
was established about twenty-live years I
ago, which is now in use, few letteis
were written or papers read, but at pres- j
ent the people are more enlightened)
and newspapers containing the happen- :
ings of the day are eagerly sought for. j
But alas! we are not in- it. If Mr.
Hines will call the attention of the pos- i
tal authorities to this matter when he
goes to Washington, the favor will never j
be forgotten.
Alike Selensky, the man who was
waylaid about ten days ago, is slowly
recovering.
Some of the residents here make
themselves uncommonly friendly with
their neighbors' coal bins after dark.
The company is having the houses at.
the slope and "Peggy's Patch" greatly
improved in comfort and' appearance.
Besides being newly weather-boarded,
they are receiving a general overhauling
inside.
Thos. J. O'Donnell, formerly employ- j
od at the Lehigh Valley station, Free- '
land, has accepted a position operating!
for the D. S. &S. at Ilarwood. He will
take hold on Monday.
Thos. Petitt moved his family to
Stockton this week.
John Murrin was able to go to his
home in South Heberton on Monday.
Chas. Grossman, of Sandy Hun, was
here on Sunday among friends.
The sleighing party which was to
leave here last week fell through. The
reasons are not given.
William Brease is able to be about
again.
Robert Oliver, of Sandy Run, was
here over Sunday with bis parents.
Robert Perry, of liar wood, secured
employment here and intends making
this his home for the future.
Joseph Norak removed his family to
Jermyn, Lackawanna county, last week.
A corps of civil engineers from Hazle
ton completed a survey of the mines
here this week.
Frank Walk, of Jeddo, was here look- '
ing up business on Monday.
Patrick Murrin is on the sick list at
present.
We have beard of many narrow es
capes this week from being caught by
highwaymen, but believe them all to be
untrue, although we know that many of
the persons who made the escapes be- !
lieve it is better to be a living coward I
than a dead hero. 1
