BEAUTY ON WHEELS
Pleasing Transformation Scene at the
Madison Square Garden.
Brightly Attired Girl Bicyclists In Flace
of the Weary Peds.
Four of the Contestants Neclc to Neck
at the End or the First Spell.
Eight beauteous maidens, fair to see. This
Is the vision which presented itself to the eye
of tbe beholder at Madison Square Garden
this week, each mountod on a two-whceled
horse.
Promptly at midnight tbo word " Go!" was
given by Dan Herty, the Boston bov who
won the go-as-you-please race of euduronco
of last week. Herty was attired in n Spring
suit of modest brown, suimounted by a
fawn.colored Spring oveicoat nnd a
brow li dorby hat. Ho sMd "Go!" in
such a feeble, modest vo.co that Man
ager Billv O'Brien supplemented it by
the same monosyllabic oxclauiatiou in n loud
tono, nnd the eight beauteous maidens bet
their v. heels in motion with vehement en
eigy which boded ill for tbo tuturo.
No sooner had tho six-day pedostrians
wound up their long wall: Saturday night in
Madison Square Garden thau a corps of fifty
carpenters swooped down upon the pawlion,
and at 4.30 yesterdny morning they had
tro'isformed it into quite another scone.
'Uio sawdust track wah coered up with a
smooth board track, tho tenets wero torn
away, now bootbh were niado suitable to tho
accommodation of members of tbo gentler
box and a gouoral nouse-cleaning was had.

I'UUCh. . . .r .!
Tl.ero woro 8,000 people in Madison bquaro
Garden, and tho anplano was deafening as
the young women began their race lor fame
nnd posbiulo Untune.
Mllo.Arniaindo.asubstantial young womau,
is a Fiench-Canadian, born at St. Ann's,
Otiebec. Hie is twenty-fivo cars of oge. and
though she has tho thighs of an athlete,
weighs only 147 pounds. She wore a waist
and tights of plum color and a jockoy cap of
tho same color in velvet. She has n record of
842 mileB in sevouty-two hours, ond 1.050
miles in six days.
She forged immediately to the front and
maintained her position, despite the ofTorta
of her nearest competitors to dislodge her
from her position. She rides a 48-inch Cham
pion machine, and with tho strength of a
man, and did the first mile in exactly four
minutes.
Jessio Oakes, in ft wine-colored corsage
and lavender fleshings, bright red bows and
black cap, followed close upon her, prosalug
the Frenchwoman for first place.
Then it wub a momentary struggle between
the leaders, urged on by the applause of tho
spectators: no matter who was ahead in the
total distance tiavelled, thcro was a mo
mentary race for supremacy between the
young women at tho head of the somewhat
disorderly orocession, and tho varying for
tunes ottho riders of the two. wheeled steedH
made the race very exciting aud of much
interest.
For an hour, despite the heroulean efforts
of Armaindo, Jessio Woods, Uattie Lewis,
Kitty Drown, Jessie Oakes and Helon Bald
win pursuod her, and at the finish of tho first
hour there was hardly a lap between tho
veteran and hor younger competitors.
Maggie McShano. in a bright green velvet
riding coat, half-skirt and knoe trousers, her
yellow-brown hair confined only with n
ribbon of blue, and fifteen-buttoned slioeB
reaching almost tn her knees, championed
Ireland in tho raeo.but her machine proved to
bo too heavy for hor and she left tho track
in the second mile.
Lottio Htanloy, the dark-haired, round
faced fairy who won the February race and
tho championship of the world, was a pretty
poem in blue velvet costume, with swan's
down trimmiugs and red silk shoes. She
wore the Police Gazelle championship modal
and was cheered nt every turn of the traok.
She set out on a 40-inch whtel, but soon ex
changed it for one four Inches taller, tbe
time consumed in tho change retarding her
o that she was two and a quarter miles bo
hind tho leaders at tbo end of the first hour.
Miss Stanley is a Pittsburg girl and rodo
25J miles in tho Last forty-eight-hour raoo.
bhe exclaimed to-day: "1 would die on the
wheel heforo I would take that medal off my
bosom."
Jessie Oakes, a Lancashire lassie and n
favorite in this race, is twenty-two years old.
She was costumed in wine-colored waist,
lavender fleshings Bcarlet bows and red and
blank jockoy cap. She rides a 48-mch"bike"
in this roco.
Jessio Woods, of Philadelphia, is but
seventeen ye nrs old. She Iihb riddon 3515f
miles, boating all tho others in this race. Bhe
sits i gracefully on a 47-inoh wheel.
Helen Baldwin, tho flashing, black-oyod,
beauty of tho last race, in short darK hair and
baby face, appeared in deep blue tights aud
light blue ribbons. Bhe rodo a 49-inch wheel,
and held her own with the leaders.
Hattie Lewis rides tho biggest machine.
She comes from tho Smoky City, and Is tall,
Render nnd dark. Her wheel is fifty-two
niches high, and she rides with consummate
grace.
Those who suppose tho bicycle raoo to bo
immodest in any of its features should divest
themselves of the idea. It is a happy relief

WILSON DENIES IT.
'I i
Tho New Health President on a Story
as to His Baltimore Record.
Thinks Himself a Victim Rather than the
Wrecker of the Defunct Companies.
Ho Clnlms to Hnvo Lost 980,000 by
Indorsing Their Notes.
A story was printed in n morning paper
to.day purporting to give an account of tho
early business and professional career in
Baltimore of Charles Gcorjo Wilson, tho
newly appointed President of tbo Board of
Health.
In it it was Btatcd that in 1871 Mr. Wilson
and his partner. Thomus 11. Clendouiu, then
young lawyers In flidtimoro, started thrco
loan unel building associations, known iu tho
e iunt.Es oEonois wilron.
Franklin Land and Loan Company, tho
Chesapeake Mutunl Land and Building Asso
ciation and tho Lexington Savings Bunk,
Fire Insuraneo and Loan Company.
It was charged that Mr. Wilson, who was
said to bo tho President of one of thoso com
panies, a director in another and Treasurer
in the thlid, had so mismanaged theso
compiniesthat in 1874 thoy wout into bank
ruptcy. The stockholders lost nil thoir
mone'V. whllo Wilson and his associates got
bold of the bulk of tbo property, anil the
former camo to Now York in oreler to avoid
tho creditors and stockholder of tho bank
rupt companies.
President Wilson rccoivod a reporter of
The Kveniso Woiiid in tho offico of tho
Health Department this morning.
Ho did not soom very seriously disturbed
over tho story which lead boen published
nbut him, although ho showed somo signs of
onuoyiinco.
" It is vory unpleasant to havo such things
said about one," ho replied. ' ' All tho more
so when tho charges nre unlruo lu every re
spect, so far as any crooked practices on my
part are concerned.
" Tliero is only just enough truth in tbo
general story of my transactions in Baltimore
lit that timo'in connection with those laud
companies to givo curroncy to tho mnuy
iuuendos and insinuations w-hleh it contains
against my business integrity.
" It is true that I was connected with thoso
companies, but neither as President, Treasu
rer or eiireclor in any ono of thorn. I was
simply counsel, and although I hud a good
deal to do with tho management of them, it
was simply in that capacity.
"Tho conipauius woro organized upon n
good financial basis and for tho first two or
three .tears they made a vory largo amount of
money, for reol estate was then vory activo,
and values, though high, were advancing.
' The first year tho stockholders got 25 por
cent, in dividends, and in tho thrco years ono
of them paid as much as 'J I per cent, in divi
dends. Nobody complained then.
" When tbe panio camo in 1873, as every
body knows, it w as followed by a great con
traction of values, especially in real estate,
und our companies which had all their absets
in real property suffered.
"It was simply the result of an uuforluuato
business transaction in which I suffeicdos
wcliasothors. Iwnsalargo creditor of tho
companies, having lost about 80.000, which
I hud to pay out as iudorser un tho com-
imiiiAft' imiior.
" I feo it is statod that I reserved property
for uns'jlf under certain leases which cost
me little or nothing. That is absolutely false.
I bought cousideroblo property, paying tho
market price for it, and lost as much as any
one elso who hud invested in real csla .eat
that time.
" Tho Lexington Company lias paid 100
ccntMiu tho dollar, tho Cbcsupcako Com
pany more than LO ceuts mid tho l'miiklm
Company a smaller proportion The unuirs
of tlieto latter companies mo still m Inunda
tion, nnd it iH certain that thovwillbo ublo
to still further S'ltisfy theit creditors.
" As for uie li living Baltimore" to avoid any
consequences eif tho failure, tho charge is
absurd, for I lived theio until 1877, when I
ciiiun to Now York.
"I havo been in Baltiinorn many tlmen
every year since then, und was there yostor
dav. Iho records eif the courts w ill show
just what tho transactions wcro, and they aro
all on lllo there. Thcro is nothing secret
about thorn.
" If there had been anything crooked in tho
matter, do ou suppose thev would not pros
ecuted mo beforo this? The'y could hnvo
reached mo here in New York as vvoll as in
Baltimore I havo never practised tho slight
cht concealment, and am not aware that I
ever m all my life did auv ono knowingly an
injury.
" I shall consult with my counsel and, if
the chaigosnro mado more definite, will bo
ubld to take tomo action upon thorn.
"I regard it as an unwarranted attack
upon mo and on a par with tho story that I
was appointed to my present osition through
a deal with Mr. Stokes, of tho Hoffman
House. That story was porfect rot.
' I want to say that when Mr. Stokos's
rent was rodueod from 25.000 to 820,000 a
year it was becaiibo ho said ho would not pay
any more."
"He hail made improvements to tho ex
tent of f 7,000 or iJ8,000, and if his rent had
not been reducod he would have closed up
his placo. I looked around to try and get
another tenant, but the best offer that I could
obtain for tho premises was ?1d.(jO0, so we
concluded to closn with Mr. Htokes.
" I have a good many enemies, who have
done ovtrvthing to try to Injure me, und uot
the least of thorn aro the managers of tho
Block I'.xchango.
" 1 hnvo bcuton them nt oven' point. Not
long ngo tliuy started tho report that tho
Consolidated Lxehiinge' propoity was nearly
swamped with mortsoges ow lug to my inim.
agemcut of its affairs. I showed conclusively
that the story was utterly fnlso, aud that tbo
building and property was entirely free from
debt.
"I do not menu to imply that tho same
people nro responsible for the present story,
but it's on u par With thoir other attnct.s."

AN EDITOR SHOT DEAD.
.
His Brotlior-in-Liw Mistook Him for

K Sad Tragedy that Has OYerwhelmed
Two Families in Springfield.
Tho OcntI Sinn n Ilurvnrrt Grndtinto

Brr.iMiMEM), Mass., May 13. An acci
dental tragedy of this morning, with James
Becbe Smith, city editor of tho Republican, as
its victim, has pluugod two families into al
most overwhelming grief.
Smith was instantly killed by a shot from
a gun hold by his brother-in-law, lloyal B.
Sturtovaut, who supposed he was shooting a
burglar.
The sad affair occurred at the home of W.
F. Sturtevant, fathor.in.law of the dead man,
in Elliott street.
The elder Sturtovaut is off on a fishing
trip to tho Baugelev lakes nnd his sou ltoyal
was in charge of tho house.
Mr. Smith, his wifo aud little daughtor
woro also staving at tho house for a few days.
The duties of Mr. Smith, at tbn rrrnihUran
ofiico, keop him busy nights, but last night,
unknown to Mr. Sturtovaut, ho wasoT duty.
Burglars attempted to enter tho house early
this morning, and vouug Hturtcvsnt got up
to recclvo thorn, lie went into the hallway
with his gun, having Hist teen a man in the
yaril below his window.
In tho hull auothor man confronted him.
Ho raised his w eat ion and fired.
Tho man whom he shot was his brother-in-law.
Smith, and tho latter fell dead by tho
sido of his wife.
Thoy, too, had been aroused by tbo bur
glars and bad como out into tho hall.
Smith was a young man, a Harvard gradu
ate of '8.1, and hud been employed on tho
Jlniublican siuco Ins graduation.
Ho whs the sou of Herman Smith, the well
known civil engineer.
The brother-in-law, Sturtevant, is only
twonty-two j ears of ago, and is nearly crazy
over the event.
THOSE CROXIN INTERVIEWS.
THEY ARS NOT RECEIVED WITh GENERAL
CONFIDENCE IN CHICAGO.
rsrrcui. to tux i.vihiso wmmi
CiiirAno. May in, Hardly Icsb temarkable
than the Dr. Croniu disappearance, aud tho co
incident trunk mystery is tho amount of news
paper fnklug which has boen done over the case.
While tho belief Is gaining ground that Cronin
is in Canada and that ho has been seen in Tor
onto, the reported interviews with him there
are to a large extent discredited here.
Particular incredulity is expresed here as to
that nait of the Interview published this morn
ing in which the Doctor is msdo to assert that
ho had discovered that tlie-Clau-na-Gael bad de
creed his death.
" A man was appointed as my executioner."
Dr. Cinuinis made to say. " suit preparations
were in uetlio piogicss to accomplish the deed."
Thodoetoi is also made lodcclarn that he will
make some disclosures soon which will open the
cyos of the public amorally and make the hair
stand on the heads of several Chicago and New
York men.
On toti of all this, the interview bcimr con
cluded, tho retioit makes Croniu dodge the in
ten low cr and his detoctiv e, aud disappear again
from sight and kuowledce.
1 liHories bold here on tho interview are diverse
Ono idea is thnt Croniu really gave tho inter
view, but meant it to be misleading. Another
is that tin whole purpose of tho Canadian
stoue is to intensify tho gcueiHl bewilderment
nter the ease and to coverup Cromu'u real llight
ami pmnose.
The A etc this moinlng openly avowed its dis
belief in the Toronto stories and publishes mes
sages ft out two reliable Toronto newspaper tuon.
the first of which is as follows:
"ho fai us known, Cronin is not here, but
there is no certainty."
The other niessaKo sy: "Cannot find any
thing about Cronin, Whole story from Chicago
belie ed to b a take. "

Sitting street, this morning.

Thomas Cnow, laborer. 418 West Twenty
soouth btroct, b.ight; bodily injuries; went
home.
HoRklcssnoss, it Is charged, caused tho dis
aster. A week ago a gone of men apponrod at;d
began to pull tbn old hotiso down.
Thoy went iihead in n baitpy-po-lucky
fashion, nnd mado no uttempt to biaco tho
tottering structure.
Gcorgo Thomas was foreman and Con
tractors Henry McGregor ft Donaldson bossed
tho job.
At 7 o'clock this morning the men wont to
work as usual.
They wero scattered all over tho old houso
bammoring, pulling, hauling down the
rafters, walls and flooring. Strange it uetcr
occurred to them that they wero nt work In n
lilneo that might at any moment bocomu their
sepulchre.
Dust loso in clouds, and people stood in
tho street nnd watched tho tdd lumber mid
brick lly down to tho ground lrom every part
of the house.
At 11. SO a. M. there was a sudden ominous
quiter of tho walls and eroi-R beams.
Por an instaut the ancient dwelling quiv
ered and shivered liko n vessel going down at
ao a.
Within tho building the dirt-begrimod
workmen shouted hoarse adrico and warn
iugs tOTtach other.
For a moment those in tho streetTould seo
tbom scampering from tho booms in nn effort
to escape.
Boforo any of them conltl roach tho street,
however, the walls foil in, tho flooring, luiu.
her and other building material crashed
down, and the whole pilo collapsed with a
tiorco, rumbling roar.
Above tbo nofao of tho falling walls came
tho piercing shrieks of thoo within.
Then, like rats from n trap, thoso who had
escaped setiouH injury wero seen beating
nnd bursting their way with strength born of
desperation tint of tho ddbriu. 'lheir cloth
ing was in rtigN.
Willing hands hastened to help them.
Although they wore all moro orlops cut and
bruised, only one, Thomas Crow, suffered n
suvero injury. His right arm nnd leg wok
sprained, and ho was sent home in n carriage
Tho roll was rallod on the strcot, and threo
moii wero found to bo missing.
1 hree ainbulauco calls were issued at once.
Search for those know u to be in tho ruins
began immediately.
A willing band of voluntcora sot to work,
and sent bricks, mortar aud wood-work fly.
ing in every direction.
The man known as James Josoph was
found first.
He was bevond all human aid then though.
His bead hail been smashed to n jelly and ho
was a horrible mass of blood, brains, hair
aud dirt, without auy semblance of humanity
left at nil. Hts left arm had been torn off.
A fow minutes later the body of Gillcn
was found.
It id so was fearfully mangled anil de.
formed.
Then George '1 homes, tho foreman of tho
gang, was found under a pile of brick.
Ho was alive, but groaning in agony. Ho
was carried tenderly out to the street.
Ho presented a horriblo appearance. His
right oje bad been gouged out of tho socket,
nnd the noto bad bet n torn off his fnco.
His right cheek had been cut clean off.
With nil that ho was able to talk, and a
more pitiablo spectoclo is rarely seen than
that presuted bv tho uuforluuato mini lying
on the street, telling his name ami address,
and murmuring : "My poor wife) ! My poor
wifo !"
Tho survivors of tho nccidont blnmo their
employers as being tho rausa of it.
Fifteen minutes after tho building fell
Contractor McGregor arrived on the scone.
Ho looked at tho dtad bodies lying on tho
sidewulk. and then with tears running down
his choeks cried: "My God! My God!
Why didn't you brace that wall as I told
j on "
Ho was completely overcome. He was
takou to tho Prince street station, where bo
said that he had given orders to brnco up tho
wall early lu the morning, but he had been
disobeyed.
The accident happened in tills way: All
of the second story hnuuis bad bet 11 taken
taken down but ouo. Tho westerly wall was
also down. Twelve feet of the easterly wall,
afoot nnd a half thick, remained standing.
Orders were ghen to take down the remain,
ing second story beam.
Frank Moran, ouo of the laborers, climbed
up on tbe doorsill with crow bur in hand
Gillcn, Thomas, Josoph and Martin Hcalov
were stauding lu the ceittie of tho first story.
Moran dislodged tho beam aud it fell with
crash on the first-story beams. The shock
was n bard one, anil a second lator Crow
yelled outt " Look out for tho wall!"
Hcaley made a desperate lean for the other
sloe, but went through tho beams into tho
cellar. As be leaped he heard Thomas say:
' Mv God ! Pin done for."
The others could not be socu. Ilealey
escaped. ll declares tbo wall was not
bract d, and that tho shock of the fal'ing
beam brought it down.

Tho Cleveland Club, tho enfant lerribln of
tho League, will bo opposed to tho Giants in
tho gnmo, which will begin at 3. 45 o'clock.
Tho gamo, as playod nt St, George's, will

to sto it, without mouoy and without prico.
And in nddition The F.vumo World

tho most complete nnd graphic report of the
gutuo ami tho occasion which a uowspapcr's
columns have ever held.
'Iho Hlaten Island grounds arn handsomely
decorated, and Cnppu's Hand will discourso
sweet music for an hour ptovious to trio be
ginning of tho game.
Handsomely eugruved cards of invitation
havo been sent to penplo of prominence, nnd
a notable gathering is looked for.
Itothtiov. Hill nnd Mayor Grant nro ex.

Tlio Giautn will mako their bows to their

placo just at presold, thoy nre very near it.
Dining their recent trip to Philadelphia
tho Giants did good work, nnd but for n
wonderful decision of a rocontly appointed
umpire tho last gamo in tho Quaker City
would hnvo beon u victory for tbo visitors.
In Boston, with a sadlv cripplod team, the
boys broko oven.
The last gamo at tho Hub was a bard ono
to lose.
A single misplay, if it cau bo railed such,
cost tho Giants tho game.
Tills bas not vet been nrotiarlv exnlained.
If it had I ceu Murphy, to whom tlio error
was charged, would not bo so much blamed.
The play was this: With Clatksonou thirel
aud Drown on second. Johnstcjn hit to Hat
field, who fielded tho ball to Mrrrphy. Clark
sou had started for homo, but teeing that
Murphy held tho ball ba turned nnd ran back
towards third.
Whitney was standing on one sidooftho
baso line, near tho bag, and Ward on the
other.
Murphy threw to Whitney, but Clarkson
Bworvod from tho liuo and ran directly for
Whituov.
'1 ho ball struck Clarkson on tbe leg and
bounded for enough into tbo field to allow
both Clarkson and llrowii to score.
Murphy's throw was directed aright, but
Clarkson, though perhaps unwittingly, pre
vented the bsH from reaching the etestiua
tlon intended.
Interference was claimed but was not al
lowed, and those two runs won tho game for
Boston.
