RIDING ON THE RAIL

New York Central Again the Record.

Up to six months ago, the train known as the Empire State express had the world's record as a regular train for fast running. The London railway of England, running from London to Aberdeen, began to run a trifle faster than the Empire State's record of 51 miles an hour. Yesterday the Central began a new schedule for this train which necessitates an hourly run of 53 1-3 miles, about two miles an hour faster than the English rival.

Leaving New York in the morning at 8:30, and with every condition against her, this train made more than threequarters of the distance in even faster time than the new schedule calls for. The regular Empire State express had added to it a special car of Vice President Webb, weighing 16,400 pounds, in addition to this extra weight a drizzling rain was falling, making the tracks extremely slippery, and the extra weight was carried oil the end of the train itstead of next to the engine, making the resistance greater. The run from New York to Albany, a distance of 143.88 miles, was made in 2 hours and 86 miuutes. And the train rolled into the Albany depot four minutes ahead of the now schedule time and nine minutes ahead of the old schedule.

Leaving Albany on schedule time, 11:13 a. m., and with a change of engines, Engineer Chase at the throttle of engine 999, pulled the train through to Syracuse, the end of the Central division, so that she rolled into the depot two and a half minutes ahead of the new schedule and 12 minutes faster than the old. With the gain on the Hudson River division this made a total gain of 21 minutes between New York and Syracuse.

At Syracuse, engine 904, Engineer Fallings took charge of the train and ptilled out of the depot two minutes Li te. Half way between Syracuse and Rochester the drizzling rain turned to snow and the wind, which had been with the train so much of the distance, chauged ton head wind of great resistance. Despite these conditions the train rolled into Rochester, exactly on time.

From Rochester as far as Clrarchville, 56 mi Irs east of the Empire State's destination, Buffalo, the stations were passed exactly on schedule time. Just after passing Churchville, where the engine takes water from the track water trough by scoop without stopping, the scoop caught on an obstruction in the trough and dropping down banged against, the ties for at least a mile until the train could be brought to a standstill. It was 14 minutes before the damage could be repaired and at least three minutes had been lost in slowing up and stopping. When the train was again started, after a loss of 17 minutes, it was close upon the long, heavy grade up to Batavia, and lacking the tremendous momentum which it usually has, it lost three minutes more on this upgrade. The slippery tracks also added to the delay, and when the Batavia station was passed the train was 25 1-2 minutes behind time.

The run into Buffalo from Batavia, a dirtance of 40 minutes, was made in about 31 minutes, very fast time. And the train rolled into Buffalo 23 minutes behind the new schedule time, and two minutes ahead of the old schedule.

General Passenger Agent George H. Daniels expressed himself as pleased with the result of the trip despite the unfortunate accident, and declared that the new schedule is not a bit too fast for the regular Empire State express.

In Third Vice President Webb's car, there were General Passenger Agent Daniels, General Superintendent Yager, Railroad Commissioners Beardsley, Chapiu and Rickard Superintendent Butterlield of the R., W. & O., and several newspapermen. The party returned to New York on the limited. The entire run of 440 miles and including three stops and exclusive of a delay of 26 minutes, was made in 494 minutes.

Negroes Looking For Death. NASHVILLE, Dec. 3.—Yesterday, eight

miles from Fayetteville, the scene of the double lynching last week, two negroes assaulted a white girl, aged 14, knocking her down with a stick and broke three of her ribs. They failed in their purpose. The entire community started in pursuit. A telephone message from Fayetteville says that the entire town is aroused that the pursuers with bloodhounds are tracking the negroes, and if caught they will most certainly be lynched, as the people are wrought up and frenzied.

Price of Smokeless Powder. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The Dupont

Bun of 440 Miles, Including Three Stops and an Exclusive Delay of 26 Minutes, Made in 494 Minutes, by the Empire

State Express—London Railway's Time ^Outdone by Two Miles an Hour. BUFFALO, Dec. 3.—The New York

Central railroad yesterday demonstrated Its ability to run upon its road the fastest regular train in the world, although it failed in this particular run to finish upon the schedule time laid out for it. This failure was due entirely to an accident, the other portions of the run showing conclusively that the fast scheduled time can be accomplished and even exceeded.

FILIBUSTERS CONFESS.

tb*

Carrillo Crowd.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—A dispatch to The Herald from Havana says: Alvarez, the Venezuelan general, who, with four companions, was captured recently at Aquadores, near Santiago de Cuba, has been examined by the Spanish authorities and has confessed that he and his fellow-prisoners were filibusters. They were part of the Carrillo expedition, Alvarez said, which, he added, came from Florida Keys on the Danish steamer Horsa. The party com-

rised 42 men, who intended to disemat Cape Maysi. There, however, they sighted a Spanish warship and I changed their course. A landing was finally effected between Sigua and Santiago. The heavy arms were not put ashore because of the haste with which the disembarkment was made. The boat in which the prisoners were when captured, Alvarez said, had drifted and become separated from the others.

Two Americans accompanied the expedition, the Venezuelan general stated. MINISTER ARRESTED. He Registers" at Findlay Without the

Kiglit to Do So.

FINDLAY, O., Dec. 3.—Rev. Joseph E. Ebben-Powell, rector of the Trinity Episcopal chui-ch in this city, was arrested yesterday on the charge of false and fraudulent registration.

Rev. Ebben-Powell attempted to do a little Parkhurst work of his own and prove how loosely the election laws arc enforced in this county and how easily they can be violated. Although a subject of Queen Victoria, he said that he could register for the last election, and actually did so on the third registration day in Precinct A, Third ward. He. however, made no effort to vote. Bishop Leonard has been telegraphed for.

DUNFEE

MURDER CASE.

Two Men on Trial at Columbia City For Killing Postmaster Singer. COLUMBIA CITY, Ind., Dec. 3.—James

Cunningham and William Thompson, charged with the murder of Postmaster Singer, at Dunfee, on Sept. 17 last, will be tried this week in the circuit court of this county. There is some fear that if Cunningham and Thompson are found guilty a lynching will follow, at least an attempt in that direction, as there is an organization of farmers in the Dunfee locality who have already made lively threats against the accused. The late Mr. Singer served as postmaster from the time an office was established at Dunfee until his murder. It is known

that on the day before the murder he

had in his possession $400, and it is charged that Cunningham and Thompson forced their way into his room on robbery intent, and upon being discovered by Singer, they killed him to prevent his appearance as a witness against tlieni. Singer was bound hand and foot, after which he was beaten to death with a club.
