Sept 12.-—Another world's record has been broken, and every patriot- ic American will feel his heartbeats quicken to know that the fastest time for long distances ever made by steam was achieved by the New York Central and Hudson River railroad. thereby winning a victory over the best of English roads and placing a mark that will be diilicnlt to surpass until the millennium of elec- tricity is attained. Four hundred and thirty-six and one- half miles in 407 mmutes is the new rec— 0rd. which was accomplished by the Cen- tral’ s special train from New York. which left that city at 6: 40 Tuesday morning and thundered into Buffalo at 12: 84 p. to. Previous to this run the fastest time ever accomplished had been made 11 few weeks ago by the London and Northwestern rail- way. which covered the distance between London and Aberdeen, 504 miles, in 512 minutes, on average of 63% miles an hour. By this foot the New York Central has placed the record at 01 1 ii miles an hour. In the history of extraordinary railroad speed for long distance the Scotch express on the London and Northwestern stood for scv crai years as the fastest train on earth. In August 1888,11ft0r a series of races between that line and the Great Northern railway, the Scotch express was run from London to Edinburgh, a distance of 55.4 miles an hour, with strain weigh- ing 90 tons, exclusive of the locomotive. Then both the competing roads agreed to make a regular schedule of 534 hours, or 400 miles in 510 minutes. Central'a First Fast Trains. In September. 1801, the New York Cen- tral won the admiration of the world by runningnpassenger train from New York to East Buffalo, 436% miles, in 495% minutes, actual running time, exclusive of stops. Including five stops, the time sins 439% minutes. This train consisted of three cars, with a total weight of 130 tons. exclusive of locomotive. American railroad men were not slow in making substantial and useful this great display of povmr. Within six weeks thereafter the Central inaugurated the Empire State express, remarkable not only asthe fastest long distance train in the world, but that during its four years of continuous service it made the record of being exactly on time for 92 consecutive days and was frequently on time for pc- riods of 30 days. May 23, i093, the New York Central, in connection with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railway. placed in service the exposition dyer between New York and Chicago. mnking the run of 080 miles dnliy in 20 hours, including eight steps. This was an average for the whole distance of 40 miles an hour, the average on the New York Central being 53% miles an hour, and that for the Lake Shore 48;»; miles an hour. The flyor consisted of from four to five hcnvy cars and run every day for the 175 days of the World’s fair, making the time with almost perfect rogu- larity. Last month, when the English mettle had become thoroughly aroused, the Amer- ican record was beaten. This wns by the trial trip from London to Aberdeen, when the average of Hill; miles an hour was made. President Chauncey M. Depew, Vice President Webb and General Passenger Agent Daniels, to say nothing of the Van- dcrbiits, bnvo boon fretting under the eclipse suflorod by their road and have ever since been perfecting pious to reclaim their lnurcls. They were spurred on to further exor- tion by snroastic comments in the foreign press. . ' Webb's Favorite Project. The trial which has resulted so bril— linntiy for American brains and skill was planned with the greatest secrecy. It was the pet project of Third Vice President H. Walter Webb in which he was heartlr ly seconded by General Passenger Agent Daniels and William Buchanan, the Gen- trni’s superintendent of motive power. The train was prnciicoily a reproduction of the Empire State express—~four heavy cars, one combination smoking and bag- gagocar, weight 83, 470 pounds; one coach, 82,140 pounds; one conch, 83,700 pounds, and the private car hinrnquita, weight 100, 000 pounds. The total Weight of the train, exclusive of locomotive, was 808,310 pounds. The only difference between this train and the Empire State express is that the express carries is drawing room car in- stead of a private our, but of about the same weight The engine hauling the train from New York to Albany was No. 870,1unnncd by Engineer Archie iluchnnnn, n brother of the superintendent of motive powor, who designed it, and Firomnn Elliott. The dimensions of No 570 are identical with No. 000, winner of a gold medal at the World's fair. The news that the Control had sent out an intending record. hronkor was quickly disseminated along the llnu, and crowds gathered everywhere to ace the flashing train pass out and to cheer it on to via- tory. At Albany and Syracuse there were tremendous assemblages, hundreds of en- thusiasts shaking hands with the train- men and wishing them success. No atten- tion was paid to the city ordinance requir- ing it speed of not over eight miles an hour, and so far no objection has been made to this violation of law. Ban Against a Wind. Not only on the Syracuse division, but almost all the way, the train ran in the teeth of a heavy wind. find this not been the conditions, much faster time would have been made. Some delay was enticed between New York and Spuyton Duyvil by repairs on a bridge. Passengers on the train say the fastest time was made he tavocn Batsvia and Buffalo, and that at no time was the riding otherwise than easy. Mayor Amos of Syracuse, who got aboard in that city, said he would never have realised that a mile was made in so seconds had not his companions held their watches on the milestones. The train gave one latch on leaving the Rochester yards, through which it passed at full the second thus in the historycf erosdthatatrsineverfailedtosiopat . m6.” attended. The greatest interest of or centered in Class B. and some recap breaking riding was realised. ‘ A. W Porter of Walthsm. a scratch man. as neither Sanger nor Tyler started in the event, was the winner of the live tulle handicap in the mnarkabie time of 11:34 9' ii. breaking the professional record 'fcr that distance 16 mounds. In the one mile professional class, which was intend ed as the star attraction of the day, San. ger won easily from Tyler, with Coleman and Baker close to the second man. Bald proved himself the fastest rider in the country and capable of giving distance to any rider in any of the classes. In the one mile open Bald, (Johanna and Gardi- ner were looked to to make a class and ex- citing race. The pacing for the event was done on a tandem. and Gardiner, after a lively sprint with Bald for the load. can tured it, the latter riding in second place for the first three-quarters. die than pro. cecdcd to prove false the general idea that to the men on the tandem is due the win- ning of the race, for with a burst of speed he shot like a rocket to the front and tin- ished sitting up three lengths away from Cooper and Cabanne, who had both passed Gardiner in the stretch. 0f the Class A men, 0. R. Newton of Stafford Springs, Conn" showed himself easily the superior of any riders in that division He started in three events and won all of them, and in two he broke world’s roc- ords. F. J. Titus made an attempt at his own record of 10:13 for five miles, but the poor work of the qundruplot which attempted to pace him made him stop at the end of the third mile. DURANT’S TRIAL. ’I'he Sister of One of the Murdered Girls Testifies. Sax FRANCISCO, Sept.12.—Thus for not one shred of testimony has been given connecting Theodore Durant with the killing of Blanche Lamont further than to show he knew her quite well. Durant continues to preserve his disinterested de~ mennor. There were but two material witnesses Wednesday, the aunt and the sister of the dead girl. hire. Noble, the aunt, complet< ed her testimony begun Tuesday, but add- ed nothing to her story. The defense strove to elicit an admission from the wit- ness that she had personally invited Theo- dore Durant to call at her house and had particularly asked him to show some at- tention to Blanche Lamont. But the effort was without avail. There was a throb of interest when the name of Maud Lamont was called. A may checked, auburn haired miss of 20 years, attired in deep blue k, tripped up to the witness stand. '1‘ ben- was not much in her story after nil to oxclic tho breathless attention with which her words were listened to, and it must be ascribed to the relationship of the w itncss to the victim, her youth and beauty. The prosecution elicited in the course of the examination that Blnnchc Lamont and the witness were weighed a short time prior to the commission of the crime, and that then Blanche weighed 115 pounds. But this, the only material point '1 the dny‘s proceedings, was stricken out on tho motion of the defense, because at the time of the weighing the witness had not herself road the figures on the scale.
