Paul Hoyton on Odium's Death.

The following letter was sent by Paul Boj ton to the mother of the late Robert Odium in defense of himself in connection with the latter's fatal leap from Brooklyn Bridge: Nbw York, May 27, 1885. Mrs. Odium: Dbar Madam Yesterday I shipped per Adams' Express the effects left at my house by your son Robert, Dear Mrs. Odium, it is with feelings of great hesitation that I address you after all the hatred and cruel things you have said about me. and yet I consider it my duty to write to you.

The great God who knows all knows that I did every thing in my power to prevent the jump, and the same God knows that I am not his murderer, as you accuse me of being. You cannot imagine with what grief and sorrow I read your accusation was in bed at the time, ill with a heavy cold, and it almost broke my heart to have you think that I was in unv wav responsible for the death of a friend whom I loved for his good nature and brave heart. I have one thing to say that i am sure win give you consolation. On that fatal Thursday morning Robert got up eariy ana uisappeareu iur four hours. I did not know where he had gone, nrl horded he had taken my advice and left New York.

Since then nave aiscoverea mat ne went from my house to the Church of the Redemptorist Fathers, where a friend of mine saw him go to the confessional. I thank the Lord. May God rest the Kmil nf nmr nnor Rob. Mrs. Odium.

I wish I couid go to you and, kneeling at your feet, tell you all I did to turn him away from his determination and to convince you that I am not his murderer in deed or thought. I would not have gone to the river to witness his leap but for the thought that I might be of some assistance to him. In answer to my eu- treatma that he should abandon his idea, ne said: "This feat will give me fame and a reputation that will survive me, plenty of engagements, and thus enable me to help my mother and myself, as I would wish to do, and as I have not been able to fo for a couple of years. Don't try aad turn me from the only chance I see left for me to make a naaie unrt a fortune Poor, brave, gentle-hearted Bob I am sure he thought of vou in his last moments. too have a mother who hu read all about Tour son's sad fate, and your accusation has cut her to the heart.

She has iust written to me saying she would pray every day for the poor boy as long as she lived. My wife is doing the same, and will continue to do so. She knows that you are mistaken, for she heard me imploring Bob to abandon the idea. She and I pray for him every night, and so long as we have a dollar to spare it will be spent in masses for the repose of his soul. If you think I am guilty of luring on vour son to his death I simply bare my head and accept It as a punishment for no any a sin I have committed, but God knows or this one i am innocent.

God bless, comfort and console dear Mrs. Odium. Yours sincerely and sorrowf uily Paul Boston. The Western Kowins Club. Nothing is being left undone by the members of the Western Rowing Club which will in any way add to their annual picnic of the 28th.

At present they are negotiating with Capt, Elliott, the renowned aeronaut, and that gentleman will, in all probabu- ity, give an exhibition of his daring feats in mid air for the benefit of the visitors at the picnic grounds. His exhibition will consist of a number of intricate movements on a trapeze suspended from his balloon, in the execution of which few, if any, can equal him. Gaudaur, Hosmer, McKay and Parker have been invited to attend, and wi 11 probably give an exhibition pull. Since Jack Campbell's marriage his steady hours have constantly been increasing his weight, and fears for the safety of the paper shells are entertained every time he goes out for a row.

The American Association. In the American Association pennant race there has been very little change so far as the relative positions of the different dubs are concerned dur ing the past week.

The Athletics and Baltimores have changed places, and the former are now fifth and close behind the Louis villas. St. Louis has been losing a few games in the East, but with her long lead she can well afford to lose now and then. Pittsburg, who still holds second place over Cincinnati, has played two games more than St. Louis, and lost six more, so the first place is all right.

Cincinnati has cut down Pittsburg's lead the past week, and both have the same uumoer of games played to-day, with Cincinnati but two more games lost. The rest are all strung out, and the Metropolitans still hold a first mortgagelon the tail end. Below is the present standing of the clubs: St. Louis. 6 6 3 2 6 2 23 .756 Athlattc.

His anxiety to go to second gave Galvin ample time, a nttie later, to catch him off his base, muilap flew to center, and Rowe aided Brouthers in placing bnater on the shelf.

The game was a very tir ing one, as errors in the field on both sides were the rule, each side bavins nine to its credit. O'Neill also kept up bis batting record by sending the ball over the fence, and Barkley, Carruthers and Glea- sou all hit hard tor douoies and triples, or the seventeen runs scored the Mets earned nine, while St. Louis scored eiht times on errors.

The one agency is a small concern1 and has not yet waked up to the idea of doing any AOUUUg WUWU. Messrs. Seeley and Dinwiddie are two young men of Washington, D.

who are the subjects of a pretty little romance told to all visitors, in which they are reported as riding all around Washington with no backbone or little "wheel, day after day, on pleasure or on business, Washington is near the sea, and consequently there are plenty of marines to be impressed with the beauty of the yarn. Cola Stone and E. Q. Klipstein, performed a rather daring deed that was only separated from fool-hardiness by their liue of success. The other evening, they rode one bicycle, Kliostein sitting on Stone's shoulders, from Seventeenth street, do wn the Olive street granite, to Nmth, and across to Pine street.

Klipstein's position was so perilous that his hair is said to be slowly turning white. Mr. M. O. Spring, the athletic young wheelman at the St.

Louis Wheel Company's, who has taken part in several amateur races this year, has developed such ability as a fancy rider that it is said he will practice this summer in order to start out in the lall as a professional trick rider and give exhibitions at rinks. This gives some color to his recent steady practice with one wheel, which he has already mastered. 1 "Of all roads between tiie Alleshenies and the Atlantic," said a prominent wheelman, "there is none that can compare with the footpath of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which runs for miles and miles along the beautiful Potomac, and through the beautiful mountains. The road, of course, is incomparably smooth and the historic towns on the route are sufficient in themselves to make the trip most delightful. It is destined to become a favorite run." If the Kangaroo do nothing else.

It will at least add greatly to the number of riders of the larger wheels. Those who master the Kangaroo, which is done in a few minutes, are nevir satisfied until they can ride a bigger one. A very conservative middle-aged gentleman with a fatherly beard, after skirmishing with a Kangaroo for half an hour Wednesday evening on Lucas place, became enthused, ciimbed on to a 54, and was a candidate for club honors in another thirty minutes. Rev. Dr.

John Fulton of St. George's Church, in speaking of the Ramblers' recent meet said: "There is no use in talking; if the races showed anything it is that tricycling is preferable to bicycling as a means to physical advancement. In the latter the tendency is to bend forward, while in the former the propelling force is so applied that the erect posture is the easier. It may be remarked that tue reverend gentleman speaks of a "bike" and a "trike" with all the fluency of an old club man. Dr.

Fulton has decided to take his tricycle East with him on his vacation tour and spend considerable time whirling over the beautiful roads that border the New England coast. The Missouris have arranged a trip for to-mor row that promises to be full of interest. A number of the Ramblers will go alonj to give the natives some exhibitions of fancy riding. Taking a boat mis evening, thby will breakfast at ClurKsville tomorrow morning, and then take a run on the Pike County road, wtiieh can be extended to include ninety miles. If there is anything that Pike County is noted for it is her excellent roads and buttermilk, and there can be little question that both will be fairly well sampled before the Sabbath is over.

The wheelmen expect to return in time tor work early Monday morning. The cost of the trip, by means of the special courtesies extended to the tourists, has been reduced to $2 65. At a recent meeting of the Ramblers a commit tee of three was appointed to consider the possibility of giving a course of lectures to men only, by leading physicians of the city. It would result in a wider appreciation ot me dangers that undoubtedlv exist for the ignorant, thoughtless rider. The different saddles could be discussed and their various merits and demerits properly explained by competent and unbiased authority.

A different subject would be treated by each lecturer, and each physio logical aspect or wheeling would receive thorough attention. When asked to-day wnat decision the committee had reached. Cola Stone, one of the three, said: Ihe other two members are not in favor of having it juot yet, but I am. The course can't be held too soon for me, as I want some of the foolish ideas held by many exploshsd. All we want is the truth, about the thing, and the best and quickest way to get it is by the agitation' proposed."

Finally the engineer, noticing that the passenger was nodding and looked drowsy, said in surprise: "Do you know we're goin' more than a mile a minuter" 'Yes." "Do you know that if we jumped the track we would go down an embankment sixty feet high?" "Yes." "And you're not afraid?" "No." "Who in the name of heaven are you?" "My name is Baker, and I'm a St. Louis Rambler." "Hold on there," yelled the engineer to the fireman; up, there's no use." A federation among wheelmen to popularize the wearing of knee pants -is talked about quite earnestly. There are any number of riders who come to and go from business in short trousers, but who put on long pantaloons during business hours.

This federation aims to do away with that by enlisting a sufficient number to put down all objections and silence aU ridicule. Professor Stone is in favor of it, and says: "If the rest go in, 1 will. Why should any man mind a thoughtless ridiculing of his abbreviated costume when he Las sense enough to understand that such a costume is by far the healthiest worn and is nea.er and cleaner." Dr. S. N.

Love says he would like to wear the comfortable knickerbockers, and Assistant Postmaster Semple says: "Those are my sentiments, too." There are, however, teo many who are like a certain young gentleman whp is a 'cyclist of experience. This individual has the peculiar idea that wheelmen when parading "make a holy show of themselves," aud that the wearing of bicicle pants, because the owner prefers' to, is simply an evidence that the person wants to constitute himself into a dime museum. "Such ideas may do for the wild portions of the untrodden West," said an equally warm enthusiast on the other side, "but they sound funny when taken connection witu the drift of the times. In Boston, New York and Washington men in bicycle costumes are a picturesque innovation into tne useless and unhealthy old custom, and they can be seen the streets at any hour. At the summer resorts near the large cities pleasure seekers and tourists, even though not wheelmen, are imitating their riding brethren, becoming convinced of the decided advantages of the bicycle garb.

The idea that a man is a dude because he wears short pants is absurd. A spider-legged dude covers up bis ttiia shanks by flowing trowsers, and doesn't expose them more than be can help.

An Anti-Administration Paper Sadly Disappointed Stamp Collectors and the Internal Revenue Department Abolishing the Tax on Tobacco. Special Corresvondence of the Pott-DiaoatcK. Washington, June 10. General Bragg of Wiscon sin has had a very successful campaign in Washington.

He has been here for the last six weeks. He has probably furnished more material for newspaper paragraphs jhan any one of the public men who have visited here this year. He will go home to-morrow night. Each day during his stay he has dropped one caustic criticism after another upon the unbusiness-like methods of the new officials of the Administration. Although his manner has been very quiet, a number who did not know him very well have imagined that he was preparing for a fierce and furious onslaught upon the Administration.

He has rather encouraged that view himself. The representative of a leading anti-Administration paper called upon him several weeks ago for the purpose of getting him to- come out in a formal interview denouncing the President. Bragg pro fessed entire willingness so to do, but asked for more time. He said, "Wait until I go away. Just before I leave I will give you something very good." The news of Bragg's contemplated assault has spread throughout all of the gossiping circles of Washington.

Each day Mr. Bragg succeeded in getting some office. The more he talked the more successful he seemed to be with the Departments, To-day the representative of the leading Republican paper of the country called upon him with two shorthand reporters and plenty of note books for the purpose of taking down with perfect accuracy the fierce and furious diatribe of the spunky Wisconsin member. When the reporters had their paper all ready in Bragg's room, he looked at them with a quiet smile upon his face and said: "I promised to give you a good thing before I went away. I am ready now." Thereupon he began: "I have got everything I want.

You are authorized to use my name i sayingtthat I think that this is a very good Adminis-traiion." This closed Mr. Bragg's interview. But it is very doubtful if it appears iu the aforesaid Republican journal. It is probable that all of the criticism which has been made upon this Administration by Democrats will be satisfactorily disposed of by the tune Jon-gress meets.

A stamp collector called at the office of the Com missioner of Internal Revenue for the purpose of seeing if he could obtain a set of the Internal Ueye nue stamps, ne was luiormea by the orhcial in charge that proofs of these stamps were never given out, and that collected stamps went to the inacerator with the paper money wnen it is with drawn from circulation. The revenue stamps are altogether too valuable to be trusted in the hands of collectors, even when they are canceled, fcjome of the stamps represent a value of $5,000 each. Tne collector asked if there was any way in which hpsA Am oiilrl hA rthrmofi "Thu nnlv wnv 1 said this official, "is to take them from the pack- ages of manufacturers or deaiders. after thev have compiled witn tne law dui, even tnis is ir your taxing tne stamp irom a package becomes known to an official of this bureau, it would be his duty to arrest you and have you prosecuted.

This official added that very few private citizens understood tne extreme rigor or the revenue law on this subject. For instance, it is the duty of every smoker who buys a box of cigars to scrape the stamp on rrom the box and destroy it. Every failure to destroy this stamp renders the owner of the box liable to a penalty ot $o0 line and ten days in jail. If this law were enforced to-morrow it is probable that the great majority of the smokers of the country would have to go to prison. This law is so strict that there never has been any attempt made to euiorce it.

The only cases that bave ever been pushed und 'r it were wnen sellers of cigars and tobacco have sought to use the stamped packages over again. This official of tbe internal Revenue said that he kuew of no place in the country where the revenue laws were so freely violated as in wasmngton. There were more uu licensed dealers in whisky and tobacco in this town than in any other city. The reson why there were so many evasions of the law here was because none of the dealers had ever been raided, lie thought that a general raid upon the liquor and tobacco dealers here would result in wholesale arrests. There is quite a strong opinion in the Internal Revenue Bureau favor of an abolition of the to bacco tax.

A prominent official in that bureau said yesterday that he thought it was one of the most unjust taxes that had ever been imposed, for the reason that it crowded to tne wall all the small dealers, and lett me entire tobacco trade in the hands of a favored few, who regulated the price of tobacco to the growers so that tuey paid them what they pleased for their products. The abolition of the tobacco tax would cheapen that commodity to a great degree, because every tanner could sell his tobacco then where he pleased, while small dealers and man ufacturers would spring up by the hundred In every neighborhood. This would bring the price of com mon tobacco down within the reach of every one. This same official thought that there ought to be a law passed by Congress, forbidding the manufacture or sale of cigarettes. Even the best of the cigarettes are made of tne vilest of refuse tobacco, and are doing more to poison aud stunt the young lads or the country thau all of the gin-mills combined.

In addition to Detective Leonard's testimony, published yesterday, several witnesses were put on. Dr. Frank J.

Lutz was put on tbe stand. He was vice-president of the Police Board when the $500 check had been given by the express company to Chief Harrigan. The latter had called his attention to the matter, and he had told the Chief that tbe Board had nothing to do with the money, and that it was bis belief that some of the money was intended for him. the Chief himself. Other witnesses were examined to show hat had become of this $500.

Mrs. Powell testified to Laving received $100, Officer King testified to getting Detective Tucker got $50, Detective John bueehan got $50, and John Eugan $100. Chief Harrigan was then put on the stand. He explained the disposition of tbe express company's check for $500 given him by Mr. Fuller, rie bad given his men strict orders to break up poker and lottery, and poker and lottery were broken up.

The Chief several legal tilts between tae counsel, explained the manner in which poker rooms were conducted. In spite of tbe precautions of the keepers, these games were sooner or later broken up. 'the witness was then put through a long course of questions concerning the felony law, the possibility of getting convictions, the custom and law of detaining prisoners wituout bond. The chief explained ail of tbese points thoroughly and at some length. Mr.

American Association To-Day The Lucas Maroons at Home The Sullivan-Burke Fight Racing News -Wheel Whims Diamond Chips and Sundries. The inaugural meeting at the new Fair Grounds track is drawing to a close, and while perhaps from a financial point of view it has not teen a success, from a racing standpoint it has been a grand one. There are two points, however, in which visiting horsemen agree a mistake has been made, namely, in the placing of the grand stand parallel to the track and in the abrupt turn from the chute into the outer track.

The last defect will be remedied at the earliest moment possible. The ether, unhappily, it is impossible to change. Herse- pien from other sections claim that instead of building the grand stand parallel to the track, it Bhould have been built at an angle to it, so that when a start was made up the stretch it would be in full view of ail seated in the Btand, and it would xi ot be necessary for every one to rise to his feet And twist himself out of position to see it. They admit a slight turning to the right would thus be necessitated to see the finish, but it could be done by slightly turning the head. However, the stand Is built in this way, and so it must remain.

After the first game played in St. Louis between the Chicago and St. Louis League Clubs the Post- Dispatch advocated the abolition of the new pitch ing rule and a return to the old method of twirling, giving the pitcher full swiDg. Just a month has passed and the desired result has been brou ght about, and during the week official notice to this effect was forwarded to the various clubs. The enly result of the new rule was to cut down batting averages, and what the public most like to see good batting.

True, some pitchers there are who would be and have been more effective under the late new rule, but more pitchers had suffered in effectiveness by its adoption. Sweeney, Radbourn Corcoran, Buffington. Galvin, all were hit harder the last month than ever before, but with thetres-toration of the old rule they will soon reach then- former points of excellency. In Sweeney's case, particularly, the change will be noticeable, and the Lucas nine will now play with more confidence and. we trust, with better success.

Training; to right Sullivan. Jack Burke is confident of winning in the fight with Sullivan, which takes place to-day, and the following shows what methods he is using to bring about this result. Very pleasant training quarters have been fitted up by Jack Burke, the Irish lad, at the Driving Park, Chicago, near the Burlington and Quincy tracks, and for the past three or four weeks he has been hard at work getting ready for his go at the champion of champions. Mrs. Burke, a bright, handsome little woman, is with him.

They make their headquarters in a farm house just without the grounds, and in one of the Bheds of the driving park Jack has fitted tip a neat little gymnasium. From a platform just below the center of the ceiling hangs the light bag he uses for quick hitting. In one corner stands his shower bath and about the room are scattered dumb-bells, Indian clubs, boxing gloves, walking and running shoes and a host of other gymnastic appliances. The Irish lad is looking in better form than at any time since he las been in Chicago. "How do you feel.

Jack?" asked the Herald inquirer, sticking his head in the door. "Never better," answered Jack, with a vicious cm at the bag that almost cracked the platform. This is an elegant place to train. "Very few I people bother me here and it's quiet enough for mo to ettle down to real work." "What's your programmer' "Oh, I get up about 7, take a short walk and eat a breakfast of a little rare beefsteak or mutton chop, a couple of soft boiled eggs, with a little dry toast and some tea. After breaafast I take a fast walk with my trainer out to the Desplaines River and back.

Then I have him to rub me down briskly and I start out for a 200-yard run at-the top of my sspeed. After I've been rubbed down again I'm fready for my dinner boiled mutton, stale bread, a cup of tea and a dish of pudding. During the afternoon I swing clubs, use the bells, and fight the ball half an hour or more, and spend most of my time in here, winding up with a slow walk just before tea. That's a pretty light meal only a cold roast mutton or beef, some itoait and tea, and some strawberries or fruit of some kind. I turn in, then, about 10 o'clock," "You look a little heavier," suggested the man of the note book; "you don't seem to be training down miuch." "No.

and I am glad of it," Burke replied. "I'm building myself up instead of coining down, and I'll Strip about 170 when I go into the ring. It is aot waste flesh, though, and it makes me hit a good deal harder. When I fought Barnes up at St. Paul I noticed I could strike a good bit harder blow than used to." His wind is good and he takes a long spin with a skipping rope every day, to strengthen the muscles of his legs and make him quick on his feet.

Twenty miles is about his usual walk each day, with a run of half or three-quarters of a mile. Bass' ale is the only substitute for tea he ever takes.

EIcvenRecordt Brakes In One Kace. The 25-mile race for the League of American Wheelmen championship was by far the best and prettiest of the day, and the three who rode it broke nearly all the records from eleven miles to twenty-five.

Rich, after taking his turn at leading, had the misfortune to break his machine in the twelfth mile, and had to retire. Weber. Ives and Iilston flew around the track, bunched together, each determined that the new record should be a good one and be his.

Again and again they spurted down the home stretch, Weber getting astonishing speed out of his Star. Weber took the greater part of the records and he and lllston made the hardest and prettiest fight for the twentieth mile, the latter crossing the tape first by a few inches. At the last lap Weber rushed ahead and secured about twenty yards' lead, which lie managed to keep by hard work and even to increase on the home stretch, making the last mile in 2m 57 2-5s, winning the twenty-live mile record in lh 23m 4 with the happiest smile on his face of the whole day. lllston and Ives made a hard fight for second place, lllston beating by half a wheel. The enthusiasm as the records fell one by one was great, and the contestants were reuiidly cheered.

Rain fell slightly before the race wa half run, but only enough to invigorate the wheelmen, and the sun quickly shone out again.

New York and Chicago are running neck and neck for first and Providence is coming uncomfortably close with two more games lost and two less games played.

Philadelphia has a middle position just far enough behind the leaders to prevent them from moving up, and far enough ahead of the others to maintain fourth place.
