It was pronounced by old vcsselmen to
be tho piettlest race nvSr wltnetscd. Aside
from winning the speed championship of
the Great Lakes the Erie won about $100,
000 for those who bet on It.
The conditions under' "which 'the race was
sailed wcie (deal. There was' a fair sky
and n Ben as calm as a mlllpond. Theto
conditions wor; more favorabln to tho
Tashmoo. as It was a light-draught river
boat and would have been severely ham
pered by wind and sea. The course was
lined from start to finish with excursion
boats of all kinds and great crowds a

on tho decks. TJotb racers were made light

I'Vom the start tho result was In doubt
until within 'ii few miles of tho finish. Tho
raco demonstrated that the boats were
evenly matched. Each was surprised at tho
speed of tho other. Tho boats mado ap
proximately twenty-three miles an hour.
It was neck and neck .from tho starting
point until Just about Kalrport, whero the
Eric encountered nhoro water and fell

whllo tho Erie maintained a steady speed.
When the victorious craft entered tho

siift'of Mrs. Josephlno fi. Woodbury against
Mrs. Mary Huker Eddy' was resumed today
with Septimus J. Hanna, reader of the Klrst
Church ot Christ, scientist, tloston, editor
of" tho Christian Science Journnl nnd a
close friend of Mrs. Eddy, on tho witness
stand. Jud?o Hanna .was asked If he bad
In Tils possession tho original of the mes
sage sent by Mrs. Eddy to the Christian
Science Journal In May, 197. The. witness
replied that ho had a. copy of the Journal
containing tho message and this wns of
fered hs evidence by tho counsel for Mrs.
Woodbury, who paid that' Mrs, Eddy's refer
one to .Mrs. Woodbury- as a porson un
friendly to Christian -Science shoycd' mal
ice. The Journal was admitted subject to
exception, simply on the question of malice.
Judge Hannn admitted that the message
wa published after Mrs'. Eddy had refused
the-request of tho wltncjs to reply to a
magazine article by Mrs. Woodbury attack
ing Christian Science. Tho artlole of Mrs.
Woodbury, which was offered as evidence
yesterday, was again presented nnd ex
cluded. Later the court ruled out the by
laws of the Christian Sclonce church as not
hnving any connection with 'ho present
suit. Bxceptlou wns taken by tho plaintiff.
Tho witness admitted that as an employe
of the Christian Science Publishing so:lety
tho amount of his salary wns determined
by tho board of trustees. The deed of Iruat
given by . Mrs. Eddy In 189S to Messrs.
Bates. Neal and McKenzle, as trustees of
tho Christian Science Publishing company,
wns admitted as evidence. By this deed
Mrs. Eddy conveyed to tho trustees tliH
business of all Christian Science publica
tions, subject to her supervision at all times
and subject to her right to withdraw at
any tlmo any publications In which she
holds tho copyright. Witness could not
say whether durlnr tho nlno years he' had
been editor' r.f the Journnl every singlo
message of. Mrs. Eddy hail been published
through him, He snld be knew nothing
about tho publication cf tho message In con
troversy In n Koston newspaper. He knew
tho. reports.' of the paper and had given
him mnttr for rubllcntlon. He saw him at
tho chur-h when St fa Eddy's mcssagejt"was
read, but denied that he know what heV was
there fo Wltnessnld. it, V(at tho custom
on sonio occasions to "publish Sirs. Eddy'H
communications In Boston papers;
, Mrs. Eddy's .book, "Sclonce nnd Health"
was pioduccd and witness was asked If
It waB not the Christian Science toxt book
Witness said much of. the Christian .Science
belief was based upon it.
Mrs. Woodbury, the, plaintiff In the enso,
followed Judge Hanna. Mrs. Woodbury said
that she met Sirs. Eddy in 1870, In Boston
At thnt tlino.,sho nover heard of Christian
Bclcnee. Subsequently sho became a be
Hover In Mrs. Eddy, studied Christian
Science with her and was admitted to tho
Christian science association, receiving a
certificate or degree from the college whero
Chrlstlnn Sclenea was taught, signed by
Sirs. Eddy, ns ,i doctor of Christian Science.
This certificate was offered In evidence
At Mrs. Eddy's request witness mado
application to her In 1S93, for admission
to tho Klrst Church of Christ, nnd was then
'directed to sond her application direct to
'the church. In closing tho letter convey
ing the direction, Sirs. Eddy.usod this ex
'presslon. "Itemember that malicious hyp
notlsm Is no excuse (or sin,"
Mrs. Woodbury was asked to defllno "raa
llclous hpynotlsm," but she was not nl
lowed to answer.
After tho recess another letter, dated
November 25, 1893, from SIr. Eddy to Sirs.
'Woodbury was read, In which tho writer
said that she had pleaded with tho dlrec
i''ors' b,lt that she had failed, owing; to i

letter which said that the church could
go nlong on Itn own nccpunt.. Sirs. Eddy
had scaled hor lips and sho had come to
the conclusion that Sirs. Woodbury was
not nt to enter the Church.
At this point a representative of tho
business office of tho Boston Herald was
(called to show that a largo number of
copies of the. paper wero purchased by
Sirs. Eddy on June 5, tho day. after the
laiicgeu uueinus .vjnesingc' or Mrsr Eddy

Sirs. Woodbury then resumed .her testi

of April 15, 1S05, was read, In which the
latter said:
"Now, dear student, try to go for one

LINCOLN, June 4. (Special Telegram.)
Crated by love, .Mrs. Slabel Walker and J.
Albert Brink swallowed cocaine with sui
cidal Intent In the lattcr's rcom In tho Lin-
dell hotel early this morning. .Mrs. Walker
lied ten minutes after taking the poison,
hut Brink recovered after the administra
tion of powerful emetics.
Sirs. Wnlker was tho wife of a traveling
book salesman. With her husband she
came to Lincoln a month ago and has since
resided at tho hotel. Sho passed Sunday
with her husband In Kromont, but returned
o Lincoln yesterday morning. Her hus
band was In Fremont when notified this
morning of tho tragedy, nnd he camo to
the city on n morning train. Sirs. Walker s
mother In tho state of Washington was also
notified, but no reply hns leen received.
Brink hns resided In Lincoln for ten
ears nnd hns a wide circle of friends. His
relatives llvo In .Milwaukee, but ho has
wo nunts In this city, Sirs. S. I). Hydo mid
Sirs, F. E. Campbell. Sirs, Walker and
Brink havo bien close companions since
tho forfner nrrlvcd In the city. Tho two
were together during the nftemoon nnd
evening yesterday, but both appeared In
good spirits when they camo Into the
hotel together ot 11 o'clock last night.
Both Arc Iiiloslcillcil.
After holding two sessions, ono In the
afternoon and tho 'other tonight, the cor
oner's Jury summoned by Coroner Graham
adjourned till tomorrow morning without
having brought out any testimony to ln
dtcato tho Immediate cause of tho tragedy.
That both Brink and Sirs. Walker were
under tho influence of liquor when they
entered the hotel was ndmltted by several
witnesses, but their condition was such
that they attracted only casual nttentlon.
There Is a deep mystery surrounding the
entire affair, but many theories as to tho
probable motive are advanced. . While
struggling against the Influence of the
powerful drug w hud taken Brink ex
claimed to the physician attending: "Tho
girl said sho was going to take the poison
nnd I beat her to It. I took It to bluff
her "
Then tho man again sank Into a coma
tose condition and as soon as he had re
covered sufficiently he wns removed to tho
home of George Clarke, his employer, on
South Thirteenth street.
The evidence before the Jury this after
noon wns to tho otfect that Brink and the
woman left the hotel office early In tho
evening nnd walked to the Llndell drug
store, which Is In the hotel building
There the two passed the evening. After
they had been sitting In the store a few-
minutes Bert Rnmsdel and Iva Duncan,
tho former keeper of the store, camo in
and Joined them, and then all went around
behind tho prescription caso nnd there
drank beer and possibly other beverages
About 11:30 tho party walked to tho en
trance of the hotel nnd the two women
went to Sirs Walker's room, leaving the
men standing on the sldownlk. A few
minutes Inter they rejoined tholr compnn-
ona and then Ramsdel nnd his friend left
tho other two alone. W. W. Cleveland, n
traveling man. later appeared on tho scene
and, according to his testimony, seeing that
Brink was Intoxicated, ho assisted tho wo
man Into the hotel, taking her to the room
usually occupied by Brink, who enmc In
On the stand today ho said tho two quar
reled some, but ho was unable to repeat
any of the conversation. He said he went
downstnlrs to get a cigar nnd when he re
turned the woman nnld that Bert had taken
poison nnd she was going to do likewise.
A moment later she drank Iho contents of
a phial nnd then throw herself on Iho bed

rnlo and weak, yet cool and with steady
nerves, Brink appeared before tno jury to
night In response to n summons. At first
he stood upon his constitutions! right nnd
retired to answer questions, but flnnlly
after conferring with his nttorney, ho re
plied to a few of tho interrogatories. He
said tho woman ahd repeatedly talked of
committing sulcldo nnd onco he had found
her In her room lying under n sheot satnr
aled with chloroform, nnd, pointing dra
matically to tho husband nf tho dead wo
man, he said: "I navo watcnen nor every
day since then to keep her from carrying
out her threats, and her husband there
knows that she has been addicted to the
uso of that drug."
Sir. Walker sat calmly through all of the
proceeding!; without onco interrupting a
witness. He was an attentive listener, but
gave no sign of any mental sufforing. He
said tonight the body would bo taken to
St. Paul, whero It will bo cremated, this
being In accordance with tho expressed wish
ot the woman.
Whethrr It was Jealousy or tho Irapossl
blllty of matrimonial union that caused the
two young people to nttempt their own de
struction will probably never bo known
Tho witnesses examined by tho Jury nrc all
reticent. Perhaps there Is another man In
the cuso who has aroused Jealousy, hut If
so his Identity Is being well guarded.

said, he did not mean that, graduates should

to earn n living, but that, while he hoped
ovory one would encourage pupils to re

expected to do the wiring and thnt thoy
would not permit any workmen other than

at the pavilion with their service wires;
that unless their company did tho wiring
nt tho tent thoy did not know whether
they could let us havo the servlco Saturday

'I then asked them what they wpuld
chnrgo for the current without tho wiring
and I was told that the company had mado
a price for the service at the tent for tho
month of June and that It would coat us
much 'for the" service as it would for
both wiring and "service. Under these cir
