Fttndlili Doinsr of a Maniac — A Child Cruelly Murdered by a Tromlnent Docior in the Credence of tbe 1)U %-acted 1'arenta It would seem that the gamut of crime had been run and every chord of human agony had been struck long ago; that the possibilities of tragic originality had been exhausted and that all the variations of occurrences that have the power to shock and hor rify had been touched. The devilish ingenuity of brutalized depravity and blood lust has given various forms of death and has invented infernal in strumentalities for its use. But de moniac frenzy is responsible for a deed in which the heart sickening el ements have few parallels in the his tory of tragic events. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wearley of Hampton, Iowa, were the parents of a beautiful babe, 10 months old'. The parents worshiped the child almost to idolatry. It was the mother’s life. Her whole soul was wrapped up in the little one. and it was watched with anxious solicitude lest it should be taken and the home be left desolate. One day the child showed symptoms of slight ailment. In alarm at the trivial indisposition, the parents took the babe to the office of Dr. Hobson, DK APPLEBY. the family physician, at Bristow, a neighboring village. Dr. Hobson was called away before he could attend to the child, but Dr. G. W. Appleby, who had been visiting Dr. Hobson, offered to make the examination. Dr. Apple by had been the leading physician in that section for several years, and as Mr. and Mrs. Wearley were acquainted with his professional standing, they raised no objection to his proposi 1 tion. No sooner had Dr. Appleby taken j the child on his lap than he began to toss It about and handle it roughly. The mother protested indignantly, but the physician paid no attention, and his actions became more lncompre ■ hensible and his abuse of the infant : became more unfeeling. The now thoroughly frightened woman implored the physician to de sist and restore the child to her arms, j but without avail. The man was deaf : alike to the mother’s entreaties and ! to the father’s stern commands. He ! gave the babe a rough shake. It cried . out in pain, and the parents sprang | forward to rescue it. Springing to hisfi i feet, as if beside himself with''rage, the physician grasped the infant by ; its throat, and. holding it at arm’s j length, shook it violently. The par ents seized the physician, but he shook i ; them otT. and as he turned upon them j I they were horrified to see that he was stark mad. his eyes blazing with the ; fires of frenzy. With a maniacal laugh, the madman placed his thumbs j under the child's chin, and pressing ' his hands on the top of its head, he crushed the little face into a shapeless mass of flesh and bone. Blood gushed from the child’s nose, ears and mouth, and it was still. Frozen with horror, the parents for a moment were powerless to move. Then with inarticulate cries they rushed upon Appleby;but, yelling like a fiend, the madman grasped the child by one foot, and swinging the quivering body around his head he fought them off. Almost crazed by grief and horror. Mrs. Wearley shriek ed again and again. Her mind was giving way under the awful shock. The father groaned in agony of spirit, not daring to provoke the madman to dash the child to pieces. Yelling and dancing about, the madman con tinued to sweep the body in wide cir cles through the air before the faces of the stricken parents. Finally, attracted by the woman's cries, several men rushed into the room and after a desperate struggle overpowered Dr. Appleby and wrested the lifeless form from his grasp. Divorced In Record Time. A divorce In seven minutes is the world’s record and Colorado as the scene of It has eclipsed the pace of all the other states of the union. The South Dakota record is sixteen min utes. The fast-time divorce case here was instituted in Ouray county. The grounds for divorce were desertion, r.on-support and cruelty. A jury was drawn, two witnesses were sworn and examined, the jury retired and re turned with a verdict—all in a space of seven minutes from the time the case was called for trial on the docket. Oat of Mad Hours to Matrimony. John Coffee, a grocer of Chicago, has just married his cashier, Miss Alice O’Reagan, after outwitting plans of bis mother to hav£ him declared in sane. Mrs. Lardner, Coffee’s mother, disliked her son’s sweetheart, and, it is asserted, schemed to get control of his property. She had him taken in custody and removed to the detention hospital on an insanity writ. When the case came before Judge Carter, Coffee had no difficulty in proving his sanity. 9 .___ Front and Back.

Rogue Who Made Kveryone Think He' Was Irreproachable. The library of William Young of Philadelphia, which was recently sold at auction, was another illustration of the fact that what a man knows about his best friend is little after all. To all I appearances William Young wjs a re spectable, mediocre man. w’*s jogged along on a moderate income. He was commonplace and middle class. He lived in contentment with his wife and children .at Glenolden, where he was respected. He was one of the main stays of the church he attended. He was so devout that ne was not content with going to church twice Sunday, but went Friday night as well. His private life w'as above reproach. His business, like himself, was common place and respectable. It was real estate. He was prosperous and regard ed as a substantial business man. He was trusted by shrewd, men, who be lieved implicitly in his honor. His face and manner inspired confidence. He had a certain pleasing frankness about him that attracted. He never said or did anything unusual to the knowledge of his most intimate friend. Even his name was commonplace. July 5 William Young disappeared as if the earth had opened and swallowed him. instantly closing and obliterating every trace. He left his wife and chil dren with $3. When the affairs of William Young were examined it was found that he had appropriated other people’s money to the amount of $51. 000, and was a forger as well as a thief. The friends who had visited his home observed that ho had a library of about 300 volumes. When his estate was sold it was discovered that he had a library containing more than 1.200 volumes, which he had left concealed in his attic. His library showed the real Wil liam Young, not the respectable, medi ocre William Young that the neighbors saw in his pew each Sunday, but the William Young whose thoughts and tastes ran to vice and wild adventure. He left orders for such books at the book stores, where he was a frequent j visitor. And the mild, inoffensive real i testate dealer who came down on the cars each morning and returned at 0 at night with the regularity of clock work. spent his evenings and his Sun day after church in reading bloody tales of the border and Indian mas sacres.—New York Telegraph. SON FOUND AFTERMANY YEARS IIukIkidiI Disappears with Child and Wlf* Kecovers th« Lad. Mrs. Patrick Conway of Hustonville. Ky., has * returned from Dublin. Ire land. with her only son. from whom I she had been separated sixteen years. j He was taken away from her by her husband, who parted from her because of their religious differences. He con- I cealed his own and the child’s wherea bouts for fourteen years, and when ! Mrs. Conway at last learned that the boy was in a school near Dublin, she also learned that her husband was dead. To get possession of the boy it was necessary to obtain the assistance of Ambassador Choate. Patrick Con way was a young tailor who settled in Hustonville several years before the I war and made a fortune in business. He married Miss Annie Bradley, a ; member of one of the best families in j that locality, by whom he had six chil dren. The mother was a Protestant, and brought up her children. Conway i was a Catholic, and wished his chil- ! dren to belong to his church. He moved I to Springfield, where they were placed in Catholic school*. Conway disap- I peared with the youngest child, David, sixteen years ago. He left his wife well j provided for, but without any clue to i hi* whereabouts. Mrs. Conway heard j a year ago that her husband had died j in Dublin, and she left two months ago to recover her boy. Ambassador j Choate and Consul Jefferson were ap- ; pealed to, and aided her in getting pos- j session of the lad. His father left Da vid 16.000, which will be turned over to I Mrs. Conway, who has been made his I guardian. - Married In a Tree. There recently took place near j Louisville, Ky., a wedding which was j as startling as any one could wish. It seems that the bride had peculiar notions about weddings, and she had made up her mind to have her mar riage different from the ordinary cere monial. There were to be no attend ants except the maid of honor, the bride’s sister, and at the appointed , hour the family congregated about a large, gnarled tree, the oldest growing j on the country place where the at i fresco service was to take place. At , the same time the bride and groom, maid of honor and clergyman came out from the house, and when they j reached the tree they climbed it, and | the ceremony was performed amidst | the foliage of the lower branches. Iturglar Alarm Prored Death of Him. N. K. Goss, a merchant of Eden burg, Ohio, was murdered by burglars. Owing to frequent losses through bur glary, Goss had his place of business fitted up with an electric burglar alarm, which was connected with his house. Hearing the alarm, Goss hast ily dressed, secured the assistance of a neighbor, and went to the store. Goss entered while the neighbor guarded the alley in the rear. A volley of revolver shots greeted the proprietor, and he fell, mortally wounded. The burglars, three in number, rushed through the front entrance and escaped. ■———■—— — Murderer Captured by a Rn»e.

Gillingham who has been at large since the date of the crime late in December. Gillingham Vrho was considered Miss Turner’s social infe rior, was her suitor, and because his love was scorned he shot the girl’s rich father in the dark. Dtod as She Had Predicted. A curious instance of the prevision of death is that of Mrs. Sarah P. Ros ser of West Eaton, Pa. She had been sick for several months, and Sunday, while surrounded by relatives and friends, she startled them by saying that she would die that night at 10 o’clock. They laughed at her fears, but nevertheless shA died at the moment she predicted. GENERAL SPORTING. CURRENT EVENTS IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.

"I have witnessed many a pathetic case of broken down gladiators, halt, spavined and charley-horsed, making a blind and painful stagger for their salary when they were really tit can didates for a hospital or a sanitarium, but the sad case of Virtue, the first baseman, will never vanish from* my memory,” remarked Secretary Pulliam recently. “When Virtue was released ■ by Tebeau from the Cleveland team. Manager Jack McCloskey, of the Col onels. began negotiations for him to cover first bdse for us. We were in need of a first baseman at the time, and while Virtue w’as 20 or 30 points short of the .300 mark as a batsman, he was one of the best fielding first base men in the league, and the most avail able man to us, as we thought.

It was only a few years ago that he fought Bob Fitzsimmons to a draw in five rounds in Boston and would have won but for his hotheadedness. He defeated Joe Goddard twice in Aus tralia and laid George Godfry out in this country. Wrestling has been somewhat on the decline of late, not but we have had enough of "Terrible Turks." "Terrible Greeks," etc., but there have been few bona fide matches. With the ad vent of a number of foreign experts to this country this sport ought to en joy a boom. Several important wrest ling events are scheduled for the near future. One of the best of the for eigners is Beck Olsen, the Danish champion, who is booked for an en gagement with Ernest Roeber, Grae co-Roman champion of America. As Olsen is declared to be a good one and has a fine record behind him a match between him and Roeber for suprem acy ought to prove a drawing card. I>«*uiocr»t Will Siart It is now practically assured that the English Derby of 1900 will not be marred by a protest. Word comes from England that Lord William Beresford’s Democrat, an American bred youngster, by Sensation- Equal ity, and first favored for England’s ~ - DEMOCRAT. he reported for spring practice I no ticed a change for the worse in the physical appearance of the man. He was thin. pale, wrinkled, and halting in his gait. I asked him if he was sick, and he acknowledged that he wasn’t feeling quite chipper, but would be as fresh as a daisy in a few days. He showed up for practice on the follow ing day, and then we discovered we had a cripple on our hands. His right arm hung limp by his side, and he tossed the ball around the infield with a snap of the wrist, failing to raise his arm. Dr. Stockey, who was then the president of the club, was In the grandstand watching the boys at morning practice. ‘Who in heaven's name is that man at first base? He has all the action—or rather the lack of action—of a paralytic.’ said the doc tor, who ordered Virtue off the field and examined him. and. found that the poor fellow was indeed a victim or paralysis. We shipped Virtue back to Philadelphia, and the last I heard or him was last summer when I read of his being mixed up in a railroad ac cident.” , When “Me” Wes New. It is not generally known, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that Charley Nichols, the famous Boston twirler, was turned down twice, and that in his native city, Kansas City, too. Here is the way Nichols tells it: "I was dropped twice in Kansas City, and that when I was pitching winning ball. In 1887 Jimmy Manning engaged me for his Western League team. I had to fairly get down on my knees and beg for a trial. It was granted me and 1 pitched five games, winning them all. But this was not enough and Man ning refused to take me away on the initial trip. He, instead gave me my release. I went down to Memphis, and played with Harry Vaughn and the late John Ewing until that team went up. Then Manning hired me for his Kansas City Blues. I pitched twen ty games for his team, winning eight een of them, but yet I was turned down a second time.” Another Blow to Boxing. The late McCoy-Choynski fiasco did much to injure boxing in New York V N BECK OLSEN. city and has furnished additional ar gument to the anti-Horton law agita tors for the repeal of that measure. Old-time ring-goers deplored the fact that Choynski had been robbed of victory through the unfortunate mis takes of the referee and the time keeper—the one for giving the “Kid” more than ten seconds to come to in the second round and the other for cutting the round short by forty sec onds. Choynski is thirty-one years old. He has met Corbett four times and although defeated each time gave Jim a hard tussle for twenty-seven rounds in one of the encounters. In a give and take fight Choynski is hard to beat when at his best, which ap pears to be at present. He is tbe classic event, will be allowed to start, despite the fact that he is a gelding. Up to the present no objection has been lodged against Democrat starting because he is a gelding. The condi tions of the race stipulate for “colts and fillies.” Because Democrat is a gelding it was thought sufficient grounds in some quarters to raise the cry that he was ineligible to start. Pri vate inquiries of the owners of horses entered against Democrat show that they do not intend to protest against his eligibility. So the men now betting on him will get a “run for their money.” The one point against Democrat’s eligibility to start is the one of **Was he eligible at the time of entry?” If he was not he is positively net elig ible to. start at the time the race is called. The dictionary definition of a colt is “a young horse.” Democrat is not “a young horse” in the full sense of the meaning. He is a gelding. Now, as a gelding, was he eligible? On this hook hangs the protest. In j the United States Democrat's eligibil i ity would be unquestioned, because i the rules of racing say “a horse in | eludes mare, gelding. colt and filly.” Democrat is now an even favo rite in the betting with Forfarshire, his rival of last season. In the opin ions of such good judges as Tod Sloan and Charles Dwyer, Forfarshire is the better colt. Both have said that For j farshire would have beaten Democrat easily both times they met but for be ing in a bad pocket from which he could never get out till near'tha fin ish. Whether this opinion will be j sustained time alone can tell. ————— Going to Defeat. Four champions have gone to defeat inside the past eight months. On June 9, 1S99, Bob Fitzsimmons was knocked out in the eleventh round by Jim Jeffries at Coney island. Septem ber 12, Pedlar Palmer fell before Terry McGovern in one round at Tuckahoe, N. Y. This fight was said to be for the bantam-weight championship. Frank Erne won the light-weight champion- I ship from “Kid” Lavigne, July 3, and Jan. 9. 1900. George Dixon surrendered the title of feather-weight champion to the bantam king. Terry McGovern. Other Sporting Matter*. After thirteen years of hostility and warfare, which operated to the detri ment of each other and to the trotting horse interests, representatives of the | National Trotting Association and of | the American Trotting Association have signed a treaty of peace which virtually reunites the two rival organ izations, and makes them to all intents and purposes one association, with two central offices and two sets of officials. A feature of the Paris exposition j will be the international rowing | events. Several American amateur oarsmen will be entered for the differ ent aquatic contests. It is probable that Edward Hanlan Ten Eyck of Wor cester. Mass., who won the diamond sculls at Henley last year against some of the best amateur oarsmen in the world, will represent the American National Association of Amateur Oars men In the International singles. Arthur W. Ross, the Irvington-Mil burn hero of last year, who sailed for Europe January 31, to follow the mid dle distance racing game, is bound to be popular abroad. Little Ross has been styled the Modern Michael. By his performances he is tipped to tpp the heap. Ross is small, game and closely resembles Michael. There are those who tip him to take Europe by storm and to win ultimately the mid dle distance championship of the world. Eighty per cent of the coat of the world’s governments is caused by wars —past, present and prospective. NOTES OF THE WHEEL 4 MATTERS of INTEREST to dev otees OF THE BICYCLE. rut season in (»«rm»ny — Many Develop Few Cood M»n - Foreigner. Win Big Portion of Money — 1“ kaU< r** iJind. During the past year 235 race meets were held in Germany, as against 236 the year before. Notwithstanding this almost equal number of meets, there were fewer events of importance by far than in 1898. There is some specula tion in the kaiser’s realm as to tho cause of this. Since the beginning of the season many tracks offered somo attractive prizes. Some persons as sert that the public has grown tired of the racing game, while others at tribute the decadence to a scarcity or good racing talent. The latter claim, seems to have some foundation, as, with the exception of Huber and Paul Albert, the amateur, none of the coun try's racing men can take rank with the first-class riders of other Euro pean countries. ^ The feature of the year in Germany was the general in troduction of mechanical pacing. 1 his met with great success and thirty-five races for motocycles and motor tan dems were promoted by twenty-six tracks. No races whatever were paced by multicycle man power. The prizes were very small last year, good men like A rend. Huber and Ver heyen riding for $15 and $20 firsts, ( while Banker and Protin and others of their class, who a* few years ago would not ride for prizes less than $80 to $100, rode during 1899 for prizes of $20 to $30. Whereas in 1897 the total amount of prizes put up for professionals was $40,720, and in 1898 was $58,018, only $37,700 w-as paid in prizes to the cash riders the past year. Walters, the En glish middle distance man, wron $2,950 in Germany during the past season; Bouhours, of France, was the second largest foreign winner, having $1,900 to his credit; Edouard Taylor cap tured $727 in prizes; Chase, of Eng land, won $656; Jacquelin. of Frame. $655; Champion. $652; Broka, of Bel« j gium. about $500. and George Banker, i of America. $334. against Tom Linton's I $278. Of the German riders, Huber.

Wheeling In Denver. While other clubs are disbanding &nu reorganizing, it is refreshing to learn that ttye Denver Wheel club In tends to add another story to Its club house. Plans will be drawn at once, and the work will be completed in the early summer. With this addition, which will be devoted to sleeping rooms and giving space for the taking up of branches of sport not now In cluded In the gymnasium, the club offi cers intend to add to the facilities of the building. The receipts for the year were $21,932 and the expenses, includ ing the payment of some old accounts, fell short of that sum by $663. Tho track account, owing to the total ab sence of interest in bicycle racing and two expensive meets, was a dead loss. After III* AokbiI Meeting. Now that it is a practical certainty that the coming national meet of the A. W. can be held in Milwaukee next August, local members of that organization are making ready to for mulate plans. Chief Consul Marshall of the Wisconsin division and Secre tary-Treasurer F. G. Cramer are of the opinion that if the L. A. W. drops the supervision of racing and leaves that branch to the N. C. A. a meet could be held in Milwaukee with some cer tainty of success.
