It was impossible to communicate with Miss Bisland on the train from Brindisi, but it was supposed that the young lady would" stop at Paris to ascertain whether it was not possible to catch the Champagne, then, failing this, she would have had; time get to London to catch the fast night mail for the Sunday steamer at Queenstown. A special train at a cost of $300 was ordered to be in readiness at Paris, and the French Steamship company was appealed to to hold the Champagne at Havre until this special could bring Miss Bisland from Paris to that port. What was the astonishment of Miss Bisland's friends and the disappointment of those who had bet upon her arrival before her competitor when a cable from Paris was received.

HISS NELLIE BIYt THE FAMOUS WORLD GIEDLEB PASSES THROUGH This City on Her Special Train at 5:17 This Evening, Spinning a Mile a Minute Over the Santa Fe. A Detailed History of the Two Trips.

Between Hutchinson and Newton. Hutchinson-, Kan-, Jan. 23. Special. The Nellie Bly special arrived here at 2:10 this afternoon, having made the run from Dodge City, 124 miles, in 130 minutes, making four stops.

There 'were fully 3,000 people at the depot to welcome her. The great traveler responded to a call and appeared on the platform amid enthusiastic cheering. She is highly pleased with Kansas and especially the prohibition policy. The train stopped seven minutes, and dinner was put aboard by Frank Young, of the Sanja Fe hotel. The party was accompanied to Newton by M.

Easley and wife, Mrs. W. L. Moore and Mrs. Emma Barbee, all of the News, and Mr.

Hahn of the Clipper. THE RATE BUN THROUGH KANSAS. The great run which Nellie Bly's spe; cial train is making over the Santa Fe on the home-stretch of her flying trip around the world, creates a great deal of interest, not to say excitement, in Topeka to-day. Albuquerque was reached at 9:37 last ELLIE BliY REACHING SAN FRANCISCO. evening, about thirty-seven minutes behind schedule time, owing to hindrances on the Atlantic Pacific track caused by the late storm.

From Albuquerque the train has made the greatest run on record over the Santa Fe's line. A change of engines and crews was made at Albuquerque with a stop of only one minute. Leaving Albuquerque at 9:28, "Wallace, the next division terminal, was reached at 10:33. Here another change of engines and crews was made, with a loss of but two minutes. Las Vegas was reached at 1:20 a.

and a change of engines and crews was again made, this time three minutes being consumed. The run "to Raton, over the Raton mountains and the roughest piece of the Santa Fe line, from Las Vegas, one hundred and eleven miles, was made in two hours and thirty-five minutes, arriving at Raton at 3:58 a. m. This is the fastest run ever made on this stretch of track. The run from Raton to La Junta, 105 miles, was made in two hours and forty- five minutes, the tram arriving at La Junta at 6:43 a.

m. Over ten miles of this run the maximum grade is fifty-eight feet to the mile and on seven miles of it there is a maximum grade of one hundred and eighty-five feet to the mile. The time on this portion of the trip also beats the record and will go into history among the phenomenal railway runs. A four minute stop was made at La Junta, another change of engines and crews being made. The train pulled out of La Junta at 6:47 a.

and reached Las Animas, at 7:10. Syracuse. Kansas. was reached at 7 :43 and Garden City at a. m.

The run from Syracuse to Kendall, twenty-two miles, was made in twenty- two minutes a mile a minute. The distance from Albuquerque is exactly 500 miles. The distance was covered in 1 1 1 iweive nours ana seven minutes, an average of 41.13 miles an, hour. Consid ering the grades, the time is wonderful. The 150 miles immediately bevond Gar den City was made in two hours and fifty-seven minutes, an average of 51 miles an hour, including stops.

The train has kept up its phenomenal time all the way through Kansas. Leav ing Garden City at 9:45, the train passed ai ingails at 10:11: (Jim arrpn at 10:17, and arrived at Dodge City at 10:37. The time here changes jrom western to "uentral" time, there being an hour's difference, and the time is from that point rated an hour later. Thus, the tranweft Dodge at 11:43. hav ing taken six minutes to change engines.

uoage an 11:43, the train passed Wright at Spearville at 12 noon; Kinsley at Garfield at 12:32: and reached Lamed at 12:42. Here a stop of five minutes was made to oil the engine and take water. departing from Larned at 12:47, Pawnee Rock was passed at Great Bend at 1:10: Raymond at Alden at 1:36: Sterling at Nickerson at 1:59, and AT Peters' Judicial District Bill. Washington, D. Jan.

23. rRepre-sentative Peters, has introduced in the house a bill to divide the state of Kansas into two judicial districts, the western part of the state to constitute the Western district and the eastern part to constitute the Eastern district. A bill to. divide the. state into two districts by a line running -east and west, was introduced some weeks ago by Senator Ingalls, the proposition being to create a northern district and southern district.

This latter proposition was submitted to the last congress in a bill introduced by Representative Funston, but it is said that a division by.a line running north and south would meet the approval of a majority of the bar of the state. According to Mr. Peters' bill, the dividing line beginning at the northern boundary of the state follows the western and southern boundaries of Washington county, the western boundaries of Riley and Davis counties, the western boundary eni part of the southern boundary of Morris county, the western and southern boundaries of Chase county and the western boundaries of Greenwood, Elk and Chautauqua counties to the northern boundary of the Indian Territory. The present judge and marshal of the district of Kansas are declared the Judge and 1 marshal for the eastern district, and the present attorney is declared, the attorney for the western district The presi dent is authorized to appoint a judge and a marshal for the western district and an attorney for the eastern district. For the purposes of holding terms of court, the eastern district shall be divided into three divisions and the western district into six divisions.

In the eastern district court shall be held at Leavenworth, Topeka and Fort Scott, and in the western district at Wichita, Salina, Earned, Hays City, Garden City and Norton. University Oratorical. Lawrence, Jan. 23.r-The oratorical contest at the state university will take place next Friday evening. The contestants are good speakers, and the contest promises- to be a very close and interesting one.

The speakers are as follows: J. D. Bowersock, "South American Philosophy;" A. L. Burney, "Benedict Arnold;" C.

S. Hall, "Are We One?" John A. Mushrush, "John Quincy Adams and the Right of Petition;" W. W. Russ, "A Nation's Danger;" II.

F. M. Bear, "Growth of Government." White Cap Break Out Again. Shelbyville, 23. Last week white caps visited the home of Edgar Elliot at Givinsville, this- county, intending to run him and his wife away.

The Elliots were not at home and the mob destroyed the contents of their house. Next night they tried to catch him at the hands of a neighbor but were thwarted. Elliott, however, has left the place. Officers yesterday arrested thirteen men, mostly young men of prominent families, oh suspicion of being the white caps. No cause for the attack on Mr.

Elliott has been made known. 1. Ingalls' Speech. Washington, D. Jan.

23. As 2 o'clock approached the seats in the galleries readily filled up and when Mn Ingalls rose to address the senate in opposition to Senator Butler's bill to encouraged the emigration of colored people from the United states, the chamber was crowed to the utmost. Twq little Girls Run Down. Pittsburg, Jan. 23.

A passenger train on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne Chicago railroad, ran down two little girls named Walker at Vernon station, last night, killing one and probably fatally injuring the other. They were walking on the track and failed to notice the approaching train. The Pope's Health. Rome, Jan. 23.

The rumor widely current yesterday that the pope had suddenly died proves to be entirely unfounded. His health is admirable and at the very time the rumor was gaining in strength in passing from mouth to mouth through the city, his holiness was giving a special audience to a number of prominent prelates.

All past post commanders of Lincoln Post, delegates and alternates to the Salina encampment, are requested to meet at Lincoln Post parlors, Saturday evening, January 25th, at 7:30 p. dl, for the purpose of conferring together relative to important matters coming before the encampment and of especial interest to the comrades of Lincoln Post.

The members of the amusement committee from the circle and post are also requested to meet at the same time and place. By order of N. D. McGinley, Post Com. Attest: F.

A. A'Neal, Adjutant It is quite probable that a final disposi-ion has been made of the case, of Wm. Lazzell, which ha3 been continued from time to time for several months in justice Graves' court. Lazzell was charged with failing to support his family, to which he plead guilty yesterday, thinking that by making that plea an appeal could be taken to a higher court, but since he has learned of his error, has been hustling to raise the cash to pay the fine and costs in order Chat he may keep out of the county jaiL Geo.

ine tram nas exceeaea tne schedule time fixed by General Superintendent Sands. Exclusive of stops, a mile a min ute has been made since the Kansas line was reached this morning and this high rate of speed will be nearlv maintained to Kansas City. NELLIE ON THE ENGINE. Miss Bly seems, from reports received at the headquarters of the Santa Fe, to De standing the trip immensely. She seems, in fact, to enjoy the lightning speed, and to be a stranger to fear.

At one of the stops this morning she asked the privilege of ridins in the cab with the engineer and fireman and her request was cheerfully granted. She Doardea the cab and rode 100 miles in the engine, when it was skimming along like a swallow at the.rate of a mile a minute. The average man would have grasped the arms of his seat in the coach and held his breath. PAST TIME AHEAD. The fastest time on the whole trip will probably be made by the train on the Chicago line, where the track is straight and level ad where everything favors high speed.

There are almost no grade crossings and few large towns where stops will have to be made. If eighty miles an hour is not made for a considerable portion of the distance, the Santa Fe officials will be quite disappointed. ARRIVE HERE BEFORE 5 General Superintendent Sands savs that unless something unexpected occurs to hinder the train's speed, the train will pass through Topeka between 5 and 5:30. No stop will be made here unless the engineer signals his desire to change engines. That is not expected, as a change of engines will be made at Emporia.

A stop will have to be made at the Missouri Pacific cross- on Nineteenth street, and it is likely that the train will speed past the Santa Fe depot at thirty miles an hour it 13 a special occasion and nobody will object. Trainmaster Burgess had arrang ed a schedule of an hour and twenty minutes between Topeka and Kansas City, but General Superintendent bands thought that too fast, and at his suggestion it has been made an hour and forty minutes. He didn't think twenty or thirty minutes time worth taking a risk of an accident lust as the goal was being neared. AT PEABODY. Peabody, Jan.

233:15 p. m. The Nel lie Bly special reached Newton at Peabody at 3 23. The distance, fifty miles, from Hutch inson to Peabody was made in sixty minutes. Topeka will be reached about 5:17 and brief stop will be made to take on board a PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ACCIDENTS.

Every precaution against possible acci dents or hindrances of any sort have been taken by the Santa Fe company. Nellie siy tram nas the right of way over everything. One of the dangers is hot boxes, and to avoid this, a crew of re-. pairers and oilers accompany the tram. THE FASTEST TIME.

The quickest time by rail across the United States from San Francisco to New York city was made in 1876 by a party of Union Pacific officials. The route taken was the Union Pacific, Central- Pacific, Chicago Northwestern, and Penn sylvania lines. The distance by that route is 8317 miles and the time of. the trip was eighty-three hours and. twenty-seven minutes.

The distance via. the Santa Fe and auxiliaries to Chicago arid thence to New York via. the Pennsylvania line is 3,531 miles, or 214 mile3 greater than the route traversed in 1876. Yet, should the Pennsylvania line receive the special and make even as good time between Chicago and New York as was made in 1876, Nellie Bly's train will make the run from San Fran cisco to New York in considerably less time than it was made by the Union Pa cific officers in 1870. NELLIE BLY'S WELCOME AT FRISCO.

Frisco, Jan. 23. When Nellie Bly arrived at San Francisco Tuesday morning, from Yokohama on the Orien tal and Occidental steamer Oceanic, at nau-past ciock, ueputy Collector of the Port E. G. Tuttle, Inspector of Cus toms 8.

J. Kuddell, Dr. McAllister, quarantine officer, and Capt. Byrne, superin tendent of the Oriental and Occidental steamers, had been up all night ready to facilitate the transfer of Miss Bly from the China steamer to the World's special train that stood in waiting at Oakland to carry her across the continent by the Southern Pacific, Atlantic Pacific, and Sata Fe roads to Chicago. The moment the steamer was sighted, six miles outside the Golden Gate, they put off on the tug iiLiuvi vrriiiiiu, uue wi me lastesi in tne bay, and met her at the quarantine grounds near Alcatraz, Islands.

Miss Bly was at once put on board with her baggage, and, amid cheers and waving of handkerchiefs by the passenffers and crew of the Oceanic, the tug, with a full head of steam on, started away from the side of the great ocean steamer and darted across the bay of- San Francisco to the Oakland mole, wnere tne World's special train. composed of the Pullman sleeper, "San jjorenzo," attached to the one of the Southern Pacific's most powerful and sturdy locomotives, driven by Hank idgmner, one oi tne oldest and coolest-headed engineers in the employ of the company, stood. R. A. Donaldson, the assistant general passenger and ticket agent of the Southern Pacific, and Chas.

A. Low, of the San. Francisco Examiner joined the party. A number of railway officials were also on hand to see that the plucky little traveler had a prompt send-off. Samuel Mil ler of the Southern Pacific was also there.

Although the time is usually shorter to Chicago by the Central Pacific, tne snow DiocKaae at Gap and other points in the hieh Sierras renders, it impossible to get even an engine through on time. It the. intention of the railroad people to run the special train clear through to Chicago. The moment the tug came alongside of the Oakland Pier there was a wild rush to get a glimpse of the young lady that Miss Bisland is trying to beat in her round-the-wOrld. tour.

As she stood in the bow of the boat approaching- the wharf Nellie Bly appeared to be a young features, neither particularly pretty or the reverse. Her eyes were bright and there was a look of determination in her face in spite of the pleasant smile that played about her mouth. It assured one that it would not be Nellie lily's fault if she did not arrive in New York within the time fixed for her journey. Ihe long sea voyage through the trop ical sea3 has given her a thorough bronz ing. "In fact," said she, laughing heartily, "my enemies might truthfully say my nose is red.

But that will come back tp its original color now I am on land again and not exposed to the sun and winds." bhe is the perfect picture of health, and, what is more striking than all, she does not appear to be excited or nervous, although the race, if it can be called such, is bound to be close. History of the Two Trips.1- New. York. Jan. 23.

Within a few- days Miss Nellie Bly, of the New York World and Miss Bisland of the Cosmopolitan Magazine, the rival globe trotters, will be home again, and barring delays of the most extraordinary and un foreseen character, the record by Phmeas Fogg, the fictitious world-girdler of Jules Verne's exciting story, "Around the World in Jughty Days," will certainly be low ered. Nellie Bly sailed from New York to Southampton Nov. 14. She went by rail to London, and then across the English Channel from Dover to Calais, going from there to Amiens to see Jules Verne. She came back to Calais and caught the regular Indian mail train through France and Italy to Brindisi.

on the heel of the boot of Italy. Thence she sailed across the Mediterranean Sea to Port Said, at the mouth of the Suez Canal. From there she sailed through the canal and down the RedJSea to Aden on the Arabian coast, and thence through the Gulf of Aden and across the Indian Ocean to Colombo, Ceylon. From Colombo she went across the Sea of Bengal to Singapore on the Malay peninsula, and from there through the China Sea to Hong Kong on the Chinese coast; from Hong Kong through the Formosa Channel to Yokohama, on the eastern side of Japan, and thence directly across the Pacific to San Francisco. The route from San Francisco is by the Southern Pacific via Mojave, Albuquerque, and Kansas City.

Miss Jtsisland left York JNOv. 14 on the New York Central and went by that road and the Lake Shore to Chicago. There she took the Northwestern to Omaha and thence across by the Union and Central Pacific roads to San Francisco. From San Francisco she simply reversed the. trip of Nellie Bly, going to okohama, Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombo, Aden, Port Said, and Brindisi.

From Brindisi she took the Indian mail train to Calais and crossed to Dover. Then she went to London by train and crossed England to Holyhead, took the ferry across the Irish sea to Dublin, caught the Bothnia at Queenstown, and sailed for JNew York. Nellie Bly made this remarkable tour with no othsr baggage than a small hand-satchel. She left New York with but one gown, and that upon her In the: satchel were necessary changes of cloth ing, five copies of the New York World of that day, and 500 in Bank of England notes, besides her railroad and steamer tickets for the entire journey. A fitting, double-peaked cap, a light plaid ulster with a hood, and a pair of easy-fitting shoes completed her equipment.

Miss Bly arrived at Calais in ample time to take the Brindisi mail-train. This train, commonly called the Indian mail, is one of the famous trains of the world. She arrived at Brindisi on time and took the steamer Victoria of the Peninsular and Oriental line from that point. She left Brindisi at a. m.

Nov. 25, crossed the Mediterranean, and sailed through the Suez canal, arriving at Ismalia Nov. 28. From Ismalia her journey lay through the Red Sea. Across the Arabian Sea the Victoria sped with its plucky little passenger, and arrived at Colombo, on the Island of Ceylon, December 8.

Here the Worlds globe-girdler left the Victoria to take another steamer for Hong Kong. She was two days ahead of her itinerary, but was obliged to spend these two days in Ceylon. December 18 Nellie Bly, after passing through the straits of Malacca, was at Singapore, half-way round the world. Her eight-days ride through the Indian ocean carried her over the ruins of cities buried for long centuries beneath its tossing floods. She remained in the P.

O. steamer, which stopped at Singapore only long enough to permit the mails and its cargo to be handled, and December 24, Christmas Eve, reached Hong Kong, on the southwest coast of China. She had her Christmas dinner in tne Chinese city. The first available means of transportation across the Pacific Ocean was the fast steamer Oceanica of the Occidental and Oriental Line. This steamer was scheduled to leave Hong Kong for San Francisco Dec.

28, and that day Nellie Bly bade adieu to the Celestial empire. Five days later she was at Yokohama, Japan, where she arrived Jan. 2. The Oceanic carries Chinese and Japanese mails to the United States. It had to wait until Jan.

7 at Yokohama for the mail. This made another five days' delay. At daylight Tuesday the Oceanic arrived in San Francisco. Nellie Bly had nine hours the start of Miss Bisland, but it looked for a long time as though the latter would arrive in New York first. Crossing the Indian Ocean, however, Miss Bisland was much annoyed to learn that the fast German steamer Ems which she expected to meet at Southampton for home had been taken off.

Otherwise she would have been sure that her voyage would be a success. The Bothnia at Queenstown was the only boat available, and it is a slow one, and will bring her in to New York too late. Miss Bisland cables that she has had no adventures, and there has been no exciting incident. The utmost kindness as displayed everywhere by everybody. The news of the arrival at Brindisi.

Thursday of Miss Bisland revived interest in the race around the world in a marked degree. Vigorous efforts were made Friday to enable Miss Bisland to catch the French steamer La Champagne, which was slated to leave Havre at 6 a. m. Saturday, It was known that thg. fast mail train from Brindisi would reacjv London at 3 p.

m. that day. The train does not stop at Paris, but slows down at Fontainebleau, about The Game Attempted on Manage? Ii. M. Crawford.

The Warder Grand Fight Grows I Interesting; 1 The New Owner Turns Off Light and Heat. Crawford WiU Hold the House at All Hazards. Crawford, Slaking a Nervy fight. Kansas City, Jan. 23.

The curtain did not rise on the Murray Murphy performance at the Warder Grand last night: until nearly 9 o'clock and the spectators were kept waiting with only uncertain cal-ciuni lights about them. The big theatri was not especially warm, and the audience began to suspect that the Irish com edians were in the act of springing a tragedy of some kind on 'them. The poor apology, for lights which a small gas meter and a few calcium lights afforded, was finally, considered sufficient and the performance was commenced, As the play progressed it got colder and colder and when the show was over a few inquisitive, spectators learned, that Mr. Henry, who had purchased the Warder Grand property at -the trustee's sale, had attempted to either freeze the audieuce out or compel the performance to close by shutting off the light It was the first in what will unquestionably be a bitter war. Acting on the advice of his lawyer Mr.

Henry was trying to oust Lester M. Crawford, lessee and manager of the theater, Under Colonel George W. the house. But Mr.Crawf ord refuses to be ousted. He will act on thd defensive, and if Mr.

Henry institutes ejectment proceedings he will, fight it to the bitter end, and will attempt to show that the sale was not bona fide. Tp-night the house will be well lighted and warmed. The small ga3 meter which was used last night will be replaced by a larger one, and fifteen calcium lights in addition will be used. MR. CRAWFORD WILL FIGHT.

Although Mr. Henry as proprietor of the Warder -Grand has control of fhe furnace which heats the opera house and can shut off the supply of heat, Mr. Crawford will not let this trifle interfere with the progress of his; performances Bright and early this morning he began: work on a heater of his which ht 'states with confidence will keep the house in comfortable condition. Then he will await developments. When, proceedings are instituted against him he 'will' at-'tempt to show that the sale was not bona fide and an attempt will be made to set a aside.

Mr. Crawford's lease -has over four years to run. He paid Mr. Buf former lessee of the theater. $7,500 bonus for.

the lease and-to the- Warder Grand opera house company ho agreed to pay a rental of $7,000 a year. Mr. Crawford claims that nearly of the stockholders of the old company are with him. Through this combination a suit will be filed to have the sale set aside on the ground that the property should have been sold by an order of court on a foreclosure. Fish.

Adam Forepaugh, the veteran circus manager, died late last night at his residence in this city. Mr. Forepaugh had been ailing for some time past. He was attacked a week or two ago with the prevailing influenza epidemic, -which three or four days ago developed into pneumonia. Forepaugh was originally a butcher, but a great many years ago he embarked in the circus business, in which he was very successful, getting together a 'most extensive circus and menagerie with which he amassed a fortune which is estimated at more than one million dollars.

Mr. Forepaugh was 68 years old. He leaves a wife and one son, Adam who will succeed to his immense circus prop-erty. SUFFERING IN CALIFORNIA. Grass Valley, 23.

The snow is three feet deep in this town and six to ten on the hills. Many mine and mill buildings are badly damaged, also stores, houses and barns. The aggregate damage is $50,000.

An Insane Suicide from Grippe. Newark, N. Jan. 23. Gotlieb Mut-zer, a civil engineer of 228 Eighth avenue, this city, committed suicide at about eight o'clock this morning, during a fit of temporary insanity, produced by la grippe.

Mutzer's body presented a ghastly spectacle. The man first made an attempt to kill himself with a razor but failed. An hour later and while a physician was present he sprang from the bed, seized a table knife and hacked open the wound which had been dressed. William Solomon and Carrie Griggsby, ages 54 and 52, obtained a license to wed in the probate court to-day..
