LOUISVILLE , Aug. 0. The annual
cvcllsts' outing , the national racing meet
of the League of American Wheelmen will
begin In this city tomorrow. Louisville
probably has as manv devotees of the wheel
in proportion ( o her population as any city
lu the country , and every one of these en
thusiasts has labored In the sweltering heat
of the past two weeks to make good the
promises made In Ualtlmore In the early
spring that the seventh annual meet should
bo the greatest ever held. The weather man
promises to deal moro kindly with the city's
guests than he hai with the natives for the
past fortnight , He prognosticates nn early
cessation of the oppressive heat , and Inti
mates that the weather conditions for the
next seven davs nro likely lo be aa agreeable -
able as the mld ummer season will permit.
The feature of the week will , of course , bo
the championship races at Fountain Perry
park. Liberal prlrcs have been offered for
amateurs and professionals , and every
racing man In thu United States
who has any speed at all Is en
tered. The six national championships
will bo contested from start to flnHi. While
the prizes In these races nro necessarily
medals Instead of cash , nevertheless the men
would rather win them than n $1,000 purse.
The winner of n national championship Is a
star attraction at every meet after the na-
ttolnal gathering , and he Is certain of a fine
engagement for the next season. M. J.
Klcck , chairman of the race- committee , says
there never was such n splendid list of en
tries as that for Louisville's meet. As made
up the list Includes 144 names. Of these
sixty-one arc professionals nnd eighty ama
teurs. Twenty-four states nnd 110 cities are
represented. They Include the well known
circuit chasers Sanger , Cooper , Hold , Hllsa ,
Zelgler , the Coburns. Gardner aud many
others. Jay Eaton , who recently lowered an
Indoor competition record nt Nashville ; J. W.
Parson , the Australian whoso recent perform
ances at Chicago have aroused a great deal
of interest ; John Johnson , A. D Kennedy
and others of this team , together with ambi
tious but less noted pedalcrs from all parts
of the country. Even thing Is In perfect
shape at Fountain Ferry park. There are
now more than 100 lacing men nnd trainers
on the Biounda , aud others are coming In
constantly.

A shooting affray occurred jcsterday
lornlng shortly after 10 o'clock. The
rouble occurred at the saloon of Matt
culand , 412 South Thirteenth street , and
10 Injured person Is Mrs. Cora Wilson
t 1321 Lcnvenworth street. She' sustained
very painful pistol shut wound through
10 left thigh. The shot was fired during
scufllo which took place between Mrs.
Vllson nnd n former boarder of hers named
homas Kaklns ,
Mrs. Wilson went Into the saloon at the
line stated , and picking Kaklna out of n
nnvd of several persons present , walked
p to him and Bald. "If jou ever darken
10 door of my house again I will kill you
n the spot. " Kaklns drew her asldo and
ftcr a short war of words the excited
oman reached Into a little grip she was
arrylng and produced a revolver , pointing
t at him. Kaklns caught her by the arm
ml In the stiuggle that ensued the weapon
as discharged , thu ball passing Into Mrs.
Vllson's leg.
Immediately upon the tiring of the shot
lie wounded woman fell to the floor and
Ir. Kculand spr.ing to her assistance. A
d quickly collected and In the excite-
lent"i.iklns slipped through the door and
as not been seen since , although the po-
.ce have bc n searching for him. Mrs.
Vllsc-n's wound bled profusely and she
as completely exhausted by the time the
atrol wagon with a siiuail of police ar-
Ived. At the station she was placed on
lie surgeon's couch aud City Physician
'ownc , after vainly probing for the bullet ,
ppllcd a Itgnturo and bandages to stop
ho How of blood. She was later removed
o her home , where the wound giew rapidly
vorsu until a second visit of the surgeon
as found necessary. At last accounts
Irs. Wilson was resting easier under the
nlluenco of an opiate , and unless blood
olEcnlng ensues , which was nt first feared ,
ho will recover.
ORIGIN OF THR TROUHLB.
Tha trouble which gave rise to the shooi
ng , as stated by Mrs. Wilson , Is as follows
'I went to Florence to visit some frlernds
Saturday night aud left my two chlldicn ,
ntta , a little girl aged 13 , and a llttlo boy ,
n the care of a neighbor. When I returned
lome about 9 o'clock Sunday morning my
aughtcr run crying to mo and said that
3aklns had been nt the house the evening
rcforo and stayed all night. She said that
bout 7 o'clock the next morning he camp to
icr room and made Improper proposals ,
> romlsng ! that If she would comply he
loultl buy her a pair of new shoes and bring
icr candy. Etta refused him and told him to
cave the room or she would scream for help ,
lo left , after renewing his icqucsts several
lir.es. I have alnavs been a good friend
o Eakins , he having boarded with me for
wo years , and when Etta told ma of what
lad occurred I felt very angry and started
out to find him.
"Ho was at Rculand's saloon , and when
asked him about the conveisatlon ho had
\ltli my daughter he did not deny It. I was
nrlotis , and then a scutllo followed , In which
10 wrested the revolver out of my hands
and shot me. "
These present , however , give n different
erslon of the affair than that recited by
Mrs. Wilson , and say that Eakins did not
shoot Mrs. Wilson , but that he turned the
revolver aside as she attempted to dis
charge It at him , the bullet entering her own
icrson , instead of that of Euklns. Mrs Wil
son sajs she has Known Eaklns more or
ess intimately for many years , both having
Ived at Ottumwa , la. , before coming to this
city. The husband of the Injured woman
died about a year ago In an Insane asy-
um , and she and her small family have eked
out a scanty existence by what little needle
work she could secure and by taking
boarders. Mrs. Wilson was very loth to
mve the affair made public , saying that
Eakins In Iho main Is a kindly disposed fcl
low , except when under the Influence of
Irlnk , and at these times he bcais no sem
blance to his normal self. She thinks he
was intoxicated at the time he visited her
loino. EaKIns has been employed until lately
jy a Howard street commission firm , but
is at present working at a large retail store
on Capitol avenue. Ho ban not lived with
the Wilpons for some time past and yester
day was his ( list vlalt for several weeks.
The revolver with which the shooting was
done Is an antiquated affair and was given
to Mrs. Wilson , so she says , by Eakins , when
she lived alone at Ottumwa.
Later in the evrnlng the police located
Eakins and placed him under arest.
A Cull fur ii I n 11 , OIIIM * a Millionaire
Aim In an AlniNlioiiNt- ,
How fickle is the goddess of fortune was
never better shown thim In the case of
Alexander Gamble , 72 years of age , an In
mate of the San Franclnco almshouse ,
Forty years ago he was reputed to be worth
between $3,000,000 and $1,000,000 , belnf ,
icckoncd as one of the wealthiest men Ir
California. Away back In the later ' 50s ,
when Gamble was the owner of extensive
mining properties up In Nevada , one of the
many inenj who worked for him in the dig
gings was Patrick Redily , then a day la
borer. Now , after the lapse of two-score
jcars , Reddy Is at the head of the insti
tution which shelters Gamble , says the
San Francisco Chronicle.
In 1849 Gamble came to California from
Belfast , Me , , bringing with him nothing
but a pair of strong hands nnd a college
education. He was sober and Industrious
and within a few years , by hard work di
rected by superior Intelligence , gained a
controlling Interest In several of the rich
est mines In Nevada. These wcro the Wide
West , the Del Monte , the Sunrise , the Find ,
the Honest John and several otheis of lesser
note. They were all at Aurora , Esmeralda
county. Nov. At that time Gamble was on
the crest of the Wave of good luck. His
credit was almost without limit , He could
borrow thousands of dollars from the banks
of this city on the security of his mining
properties. Gamble availed himself of his
ability to borrow , and obligated himself for
upward of $150,000 for working his mines
nnd accumulating valuable realty holdings.
In 1805 he bought part of the great Pul-
gas ranch nt Mt-nlo Park and expended over
$100,000 In stocking It with nno cattle and
horses and in erecting on Its pretentious
buildings , Hut just at the dawning of the
' 70s Gamble's fortune was reversed. His
mines depreciated In value , his creditors
pressed him , ho found himself unable to
meet their demands , and the Inevitable fol
lowed. His creditors'sold him out , and hit
was left with what he had when ho first
entered the state , twenty-five jears before
a pair of strong hands and a college edu
cation. To these possessions , of comae , was
added the experience ho had gained In the
intervening tlma. At the time Gamble made
over his property to his creditors he was
Indebted to the Bank of California about
$150,000.
In 1847 Gamble was graduated from Water-
vlllo college , Wnlervllie. Me. This school ii
nou known as Colby university. Gamble Is
a member of .be Phi Hem Kappa society of
( lib university , and only recently ho received
a litter from "he gocli-iy's secretary reganl-
Irg Its affairs After leaving college ( Hm-
bla ttught for one year nt the Corinth RCII-
cmy. That was just before ho left Mal-ie
for California.
Gamble Is R native of Ireland. Ha came to
this country when he was 11 years old , and
nettled with bin pc-ople at Llnncus. Mo. There
\\UK founded the Gamble hoi'icstend , and
there still resides a married bister of Gamble.
Gamble- paid most of the purchase price of
the homestead from his earnings as a school
teacher and at a miner In Nevada. Ho thinks
that probably ho has an interest In the prop ,
trty on that account , but does not worry
much about It , as he has passed that period
In his Ufa when money could give him
pliaxuro.
Gamble lias two living bens , Ivan and
Theodore , aged , respectively , 24 and 22.
Ivan Is an actor In A New York theater , nnd
Theodore Is a musician In Seattle.

A belated sportsman returning from n
dnj's sport found himself late In the even
ing on the edge of a flat or marsh which
bordered the path , relates the Philadelphia
Times. The moon had not risen and the
dniknesa was so Intense that lie was obliged
to move slowly and carefully. As he walked
along , gun on shoulder , ho thought he
saw a number of llshts , some moving , others
stationary. As they wore In the river bed
ho knew that they could not bo lanterns ,
nnd for some time he wns purzlcd ; but ,
being of nn Inquisitive mind , he walked
down to the water to Investigate As the
stieam was a slow-running , shallow one , he
had no difficulty In wading In , and noon
convinced himself that the lights wcro
not carried by men , and were either Igncs
fatul or from some cause unknown To
sc-ttlo the apparent mj story ho crept ns
close as he could , took careful aim and
fired , At the discharge the lights disap
peared , but , keeping his eye on tha spot
* here they had been , he walked quickly to
t and found , to his amarcincnt , a night
ic-roli , upon whoso breast pi earn eel the mjs-
crlous light. The sportsman told me of
his Incident , and , while I had often heard
f the light on the heron's breast , I nuvur
efore could find anvono who had person-
lly witnessed the phenomenon , tonse-
ucntly t propounded numerous questions.
The observer saw the light distinctly ; Hist
t a distance of nt least fifty jards , or 153
eel. There were three lights upon each
Ird one upon each side between the hips
nil tall and ono upon the breast. He saw-
he lights of at least four Individuals , and
vas so Interested that hu observed them
11 carefully , and as to their Intensity state 1
o mu that each light was the equivalent of
wo candlis , so that when he aimed he could
ee gun-sight against It.
As to whether the bird had control of the
Ight , he believed that It did , as he saw the
Ights open and shut bovcral times , ns ho
raw led toward the bird , and ho stopped
vhen the light disappeared and cicpt on
vhen It came again. The light did not en-
"uro long after the bird wns shot , f inline
way almost Immediately. In color the light
vas white , and reminded the sportsman of
ihosphorc'scent wood.
Stories of luminous birds have been ro-
ated by sportmen occasionally , but , so far
as I know , exact facts and data have never
eforo been obtained on this most Interest-
ug and somewhat sensational subject. A
ricnd In Florida told mu that he luJil dls-
Inctly seen a light moving nbout In n flock
f cranes at night , and became satisfied that
ho light was upon the breast of the bird
Vnother friend Informed mo that on enter-
ng a heron rookery at night ho had dls-
tnctly observed lights moving about among
be birds.
That herons have n peculiar possible llht-
iroduclng nppniatus is well known. These
are called powder-down patches , and e-nn be
'ounil by turning up the long feathers on
he heron's breast , where will bo found a
latch of yellow , greasy material that bome-
.Imes drops off or nils the feathers In the-
'orm of a yellow powder. This powder la
irodttced by the evident decomposition of
he small feathers , producing jubt such a
substance as one might expect would be
come phosphorescent , as there Is little doubt
hat It does.
The cranes and herons nio not the only
jlrds having these oily lamps , If so wo may
term them. A Madagascar blul , called kl-
rumbo , has a. large patch on each side of the
rump. The bitterns hnvo two pairs of
patches ; the true herons three , while the
curious boat-bills have eight , which , it at
times all luminous , would give the bird a
most conspicuous , not to say spectral ap
pearance at night.
Some jears ago a party of cxploreis en
tered n largo cave on the island of Trinidad
that had hlthcito been considered inaeccssl-
l > le. To their astonishment , they found U
filled with birds which darted about In the
dark In such numbers that they struck the
explorers nnd rendered their passage not
merely disagreeable , but dangcious. The
birds proved to be night hawks , known as
oil birds , anil in great demand for the oil
they contain , nnd It Is barely possible that
these- birds are also llght-glveis. The now-
ler-down patches of the oil bird are upon
each side of the rump.
As to the use of such lights to a bird there
: ias been much conjectine ; but It Is thought
that It may be a lure to altinc-t fishes. Thus
It Is well known that fishes nnd various ma
rine animals are attracted by light , and a
tjeron standing motionless In the water , the
light from its breast , if equal to two can
dles , would bo plainly seen for a consider
able distance by various kinds of fishes , who
would undoubtedly approach within leach
of the eagle eye and sdmip bill of the heron
and so fall victims to their curiosity. If this
Is a true solving of the mvstery it Is ono of
the most remarkable- provisions of nature.
There is hardly n gioup of animals that
docs not include Homo light-givers of great
beauty ; but It Is not generally known that
some of the higher animals also pioduce
light at times. Ilcnnlnger , the natuialist ,
whoso studies and observations of Paiaguay
are well known , tells a most remarkable
story of his experiences with the monkey
known as Njctlpltjlthc-cus trlvirgatua. Ho
was In complete daikncss when ho olm-i ved
the phenomenon , which was a phosporcs
cent light gleaming from the o > es of the-
animal ; not the light which appears In the
eye of a cat , but shafts of phosphorescent
light which weie not only distinctly visible ,
but Illumined objects a distance of i
Inches from the animal's eyes.

The Allied Printing Trades council of
Omaha held Its nnnual picnic jcsterday at
Ashland. A largo crowd from Omaha , Lin
coln , Council Bluffs and various Nebraska
points participated In the festivities and
onjoveil n day which was almost perfect In
every particular.
The generous rain of Sunday morning had
moderated the heat and cooled the earth. A
fresh brccro was blowing at 10 o'clock jester ,
day morning , the hour at which a heavily
loaded train , consisting of six passenger
cars , pulled out of the union depot over the
Burlington railroad for Ashland The fresh
aud Invigorating brocze continued through
out the day and rendered the film park lu
which the picnic was held as cool and com
fortable ns a mild spring day ,
The crowd of picnickers groined to realize
that iiatuio had carefully provided for their
pleasure nnd spent the time In dancing , ob
serving the sports and social pastime. The
Jouiney fimn Omaha passed through sumo of
Nebraska's richest Holds of corn nnd grain
mil \vns completed within an hour.
The Incoming tralnload of pleasure seckcri
found evorj thing provided to make the occa
sion an enjo > ahlo one. Baskets and trav
elers were hastily tiansportid from the train
to the natural grove In the bend of the
classic waters of Salt crook. The creek ,
swollen by the recent rains , ran almost full
to Its banks , but this did not deter many
from seeking thu pleasure of n boat rldo era
a "dip" in Its waters. The Allied council
liad also provided for the use of Its patrons
a small steamboat , and throughout the after
noon dozens of excursions vvcn taken up thu
river , each excursion bearing a dancing
party. Otheis found enjojment In danclnu
within the largo pavilion erected In the cen
ter of Dca's park. Music for both partlc *
was fuinlshed b } the Musical Union band.
Not least Interesting were- the sports.
Of these a lengthy program had been pre
