2:40 class,sG. M. *orden' of the Man-
hattan Athletic club, won in 2.37 4-5.
The last quarter was made by Worden
in 29 4-5; equaling Zimmerman’s time
yesterday when he broke the record.
The two-mile safety race was hotly con-
tested by Berlo and Windle at the fin-
ish. It was declared a dead heat. The
quarter-mile ordinary was won by
Zimmerman, time, 33 3-5. The one-
mile tandem safetyfor the world’s rec-
ord for the mile in competition was
brloken by Banker and Brinker of Buf-
fa o. ‘
A. B. Rich ot the New York Athletic
club, made a new American record for
a two-mile race, safety bicycle. He was
scratch man in , the handicap and his
time was 5.11 1-5, lowering the previ—'
ous record about twelve seconds. H.
A. Githens, of Chicago, won the two-
mile ordinary in 5.46 4-5. The one-
mile safety race was won by Zimmer;
man in 2.34 3-5. ’
The one-mile team race, open only to
Connecticut clubs, was won by the
Hartford club with eighteen points.
The Columbia Cycle club of Hartford
was second with fourteen points, and
the New Haven Bic cle club third with
thirteen points he winner of the
race was H. B. Hewitt, of New Haven,
in 3.08. A mile safety consolation race
was won by J. W. Schoefer of the Man-
hattan Athletic club in 2.54 4-5. In the
last quarter Schoefer equaled the
world’s record of 29 4—5, made byZim-
merman yesterday. The last race of
the afternoon was the second trial of
the two-mile safety,which was declared
no race at the first trial, because the
time limit was not reached. The first
trial was a dead heat between Berlo
and Windle. The second trial of the
race resulted in Berlo’s winning, but
he was disqualified by fouling on the
home-stretch. The race then went to
the next in order, Hoyland Smith, in
3.25 1-5. This closed the tournament.
Hopkins Will Fight.
In the Salem. Mass, probate court,
Wednesday, the will :of Mary N. S.
Searles was ofl'ered for probate b Sol-
omon Lincoln and Frederick Do ge of
Boston.
Timothy Hopkins, adopted son of
Mrs. Searles, who was disinherited,
will contest the will. A well-known
gentleman, conversant with the case,
said that Timothy had $1,000,000 'when
he was married, and was offered $2,225,-
000 to withdraw from this contest, but
refused to take it.
These persons have also filed notices
of contest in the Searles will case : Geo.
I". Hibbard, Nathaniel J. Hibbard,
\Villiam H. Hibbard, Jane A. Hollings-
worth, Josephine Davis and Amelia
Wheeler of Bridgeport. An appear-
ance has been entered for them by
Frank L. Rogers of Bridgeport.
Rev. John Zeilitz, of Stockholm,
, Sweden, will deliver a temperance ad-
dress in the hall of the U. G. T. R. A.,
to—night, for the edification of our
Scandinavian citizens. The reverend
gentleman is said to be an able speaker,
and all who are interested in the sub-
ject, and who understand the Swedish
language, will, no doubt, be present.
She Never Wore Corsets.
Mrs. Sarah Van Nostrand, who is
now entering upon her one hundred
and fourth year, and is still hale and
hearty, attributes her longevity and
good physical condition to the fact that
she never wore acorset. ,
The hale old lady celebrated the an-
niversary of her one hundred and third
birthday the other day, at her home in
East Mlllstone, Me. She was conced-
ed to be one oi the “youngest” in the
party, so lively and sociable was she.
On that occasion she did not hesitate to
make it known that her disobedience
to fashionable decrees, especially that
which ordained the corset, was the
cause of her hale old age.
“If our girls would abandon the cor-
set” said she, “they would live longer
and be healthier. I always hated cor-
sets, and would never wear them.”
Mrs. Van Nostrand was married in
1810, and during her fifty-five years of
married life ‘she gave birth to eight
children. The old lady says she thinks
she will live to'see her one hundred and
twenty-fifth year.
The White Squadron.
The white squadron arrived in Bridge-
port harbor Wednesday. The squad-
ron consists of six gunboats and three
torpedo boats, and anchored yesterday
afternoon aboutthree miles to the west-
ward of the Bridgeport lighthouse.
The squadron remained at Bridge-
port until this morning. The gen-
eral public were invited to visit the war
vessels from 10.30 to 5o’clock esterda ,
and were allowed on board. ast ni t
at 9 o’clock the electric search lig ts
were displayed. At 1.30 p. m. Admi-
ral Walker and all the officers came
ashore at Rosedale wharf and were taken
in carriages by the entertainment com-
mittee to the George hotel, where a
shore dinner was held.

Collision at Danbury.
Two trains collided head on a few
yards below the New York and New
England station, Danbury, Wednesday
afternoon, derailing the engines of
both trains and wrecking several cars.
Passenger train No. 1 from Hartford,
due at 3.15, registered green signals,
signifying a train followmg. Conduc-
tor Perry, of the east-bound through
freight No. 70, failed to see the regis-
tered signals, and ran to the lower end
of (the yard, where his train collided
with a west-bound work train which
was following the passenger train.
A wrecking-train was summoned and
the tracks were cleared before midnight.
Seeking 8. Stolen Horse.
The New Haven police have sent out
postal cards to all the large towns in

hands high and having a white spot on
his forehead, which was stolen from
Edward Condon’s barn at Five Mile
Brook, in North Haven Tuesday night.

HOUSEKEEPING AND HOME LIFE IN A
NICARAGUA VILLAGE.
Conveniences of an Adobe House— A
Kitchen Stove Like a Bonfire—Native
I‘Vomen and Children—Peculiar Cus-
toms—\Vnshing Day.
After living some months at the hotel in
Managua we concluded on our removal to
Leon to try housekeeping, and it was de-
cidedly a unique experience. Leon is a
quaint old town, built on many hills, sur-
rounded by mountains and scenery the
most picturesque. Not so cityfied as
‘Mana’gua, but with‘etre’ets as narrow, it
has some very fine old churches, as inter-
esting to the lovers of antiquities as many
in Europe, whose fame isw0rld-wide.
Our house, like that of all our neigh-
bors, was of adobe. You entered it from .
the street by great double doors into one
immense room. A bamboo partition di-
vided it into two. and another room be-
yond was our sleeping apartment. Only
one story high. these rooms were thirty-
five feet to the bamboo roof,.and with the
stone floor, as cool a shelter from the
tropical sun is incl'osed as even Yankee
cleverness could devise.
The doors on the street faced those into
the courtyard, a most important adjunct
to every well-kept establishment. In one
corner was the “shed,” (whicu by courtesy
we call kitchen), screen-‘1 off. and here
stood the native stone range, a; sort of
bonfire arrangement. On a broad brick
tabla were four large stones, so placed as
to form a deep hole in the center, in
which the fire was built With long sticks
of wood. These were pushed in and in
until consumed, and thus a very hot fire
was quickly made. You would be sur-
prised to see how deftly and well a dinner
with as many courses as you please can be
cooked on this primitive range by the
knowing ones.
In another corner was our bathroom,
also screened off, but open to the skies of
Heaven. and to whatever may chance to
fall therefrom.
T..e bathtub (batia) was scooped out of a
log of the fragrant Spanish cedar, and
wron the rain god turned his hose on us
without mercy we were at least sure of
a full tub of cold water, while the drip—
ping heavens supplied a refreshing
shower bath. To bathe here in Warm
water is very debilitating, While the soft,
cool rainwater has the opposite effect.
On the porch of the courtyard our table
was set twice a day, at eleven for break-
fast and at six P. M. for dinner. With the
gorgeous tropical flowers all abloom, and
in the shade of the beautiful palm trees,
we had as charming a dining room
fresco as the most fastidious could desire.
Many of the nal'ivevdishes we found de-
licious and wholesome, while the fruits of
so many different varieties were so plenti-
ful and nourishing that there nobody
could starve, and a beggar or tramp
would be an “unknown quanity." Our
water cooler and filter, made of terra cotta,
like a big, round bottle, was called a.
“mokey,” while the national drink, a mix-
ture of chocolate, cornmeal, and water,
was called ziste. It is refreshing and
agreeable to the taste, and the natives
drink it always from a gourd, taken from
the jiccnry tree and called a jiccary, which
is ofwn hen utifully carved.
“Washing day" was an event and a pic-
turesque sight, when the women assem-
bled at the little river, arrayed in vivid
blues, greens, reds. and yellows—nothing
is too bright for them. Uncorsetcd, sup-
ple, and graceful, they bend to their work
with cheerful industry, chattering the
while in the soft, dulcet notes of their na-
tive patois. The clothes are washed and
pressed between the stones, coming out
beautifully white and clean, without lhe
aid of chemicals or any admixture called
soap. They are not torn or damaged in
the washing, and I think the honest ore -
tures there would be simply horrified a .
the sign of the ruin our “scrubbing
board” does for us at home. The daint-
lest laces suffer nothing from their deli-
cate marigling, and for one or two dollars
a. month we could I ave our whole ward-
robe, laundered over and over again.
My maid, Carmen, was a veritable
Topsy, and, between my desire to laugh at
her ridiculous antics and my imperfect
knowledge of Spanish, I found it hard to
manage her. Her complete devotion to
our interests proved a soothing balm to
my occasional indignation, while it would
surprise our independent emigrated “work
ladies” there. Carmen acted as my chap-
eron, for, although the ladies smoke big
cigars on the street with the complete
nonchalance due to established custom,
not one of them would be seen on the
promenade without the protection ('3) of a
servant. She carried my marketing or
purchases, if possible, on her head, made
fearful and threatening grimaces at any
man having the iemerity to stare at me
under Suu vscort, and stood guard during
my siesta at; midday. ,
The children amused and enchanted me
as, a dozen at a. time, they appeared sud-
denly, as if. fresh from the Garden of
Eden, so perfectly nude were they. They
stood before my door like little statues in
open-mouthed wonder. and then trooped
off with delighted dignity and self-posses-
sion. Then I longed to be an artist, able
to transfer to canvas those little visitors,
so sleek, and exquisitely-rounded, and
with such tiny and delicately-shaped
hands and feet. Their heads, covered with
the thickest and glossiest of black hair,
have a. superb poise, doubtless gained by
the weights they carry on them.
The serving women in Leon wear a icon
camisa low in the neck, without sleeves.
and much trimmed with flounces and lace.
When in the street the raboyo (along
scarf) is thrown gracefully about the
shoulders. The feet are bare, except on
Sundays, and are well arched, but the
toes are separated like the pickets of a
fence. A mixture of Indian and Spanish,
they are more interesting and infinitely
more beautiful than the “ladies of high
degree,” who are serious and formal and
utterly incapable of seeing a joke. While
the men are exceptionally well educated
and traveled, the women hove few privi-
leges, and are content to swing in the
hammock, pay formal visits, and run the
sewing machine.
The railroad, aquite recent innovation,
is stills. matter of superstitious surprise
to the ignorant natives, and it is very
laughable to see them scamper when the
train comes in. It-scems to suggest his
Satanic Majesty and all his lmps, for, with
unconscious adaptation of the popular
‘song at home, “Theyjre After Me," they
fly like wild colts in a field the moment
the whistle is heard—Dinah Sharpe in N.
Y. Times. ,
Hull Storm Prevented by 'l‘reee.‘
Hail storms do not occur in‘well-wooded
districts, according to the observation of
a noted Swiss forester. In evidence of this
he points out that a district formerly cx-
empl. from such storms has been visited
by very fierce ones since gaps were made
in the forests, and that upon replanting
the cleared ground with fire the storms
ceased entirely.
A RAILROAD ON STILTS.
It “’3: Called the “Peg Leg” and Wu
Built in the on Regions,
One of the oddest railro:ds ever con-
structed anywhere on the face of this
planetwas a, little four mile line that
flourished like agreen bay tree for two
years in the heart of Northern oildom,
and then ended its career with a horrible
catastrophe. It was literally built on
stilts, practically it had but one rail, and
passengers not aboardfrom the second
stories of stations. It rejoiced in the
euphonious pet name of the “Peg-leg,” a
term that was peculiarly appropriate, and
which \vas bestowed on it by the quick-
witteJ oil men who were its chief patrons.
There are a number in this section who
will recall it. Its real and baptismal name
was the Bradford and Foster Brook, and
its termini were Bradford and Derrick
City. It was put in operation in October,
1877. Traveling Auditor Campbell, of the
Pittsburg and Western, who was located
in the northern oil regions, gave a Post
reporter interesting details in regard to
its construction and operation.
As stated, there was but one main rail;'
it was an iron one, although there were
two auxiliary wooden ones. This rail
rested on strong wooden beams, which
were supported by massive stanchions,
strongly braced. About two feet below
the top beam Were two wooden rails
about eight inches in width, which were
securely nailed to the supporting stanch-
ions. These wooden rails were chiefly for
balancing purposes. The height of this
oddity among railroads varied, being
sometimes twenty-five feet and sometimes
less than half that elevation, according to
the “lay” of the ground in the pleasant
little valley of Foster Brook, through
which it ran. There was method in the
apparent madness of this construction,
however, for without this elevation the
original and peculiar scheme of the inven-
torvwould not have been possible. The
cars fitted on the rail like saddle-bags,
hanging dowu on each side, and
were really' two-story cars, the up-
per portion being for passen-
gers and the big wooden sad-
dle bags for the storage of freight. The
stilted rails and the peculiarly constructed
cars, which seemed to slide along as if on
a groove, presented a sufficiently gro-
tesque sight, but the strange appearance
ofa train was increased and intensified
by the fact that practically two engines.
or a species of Siamese twin engines,
headed the procession, one being on each
side of the rail, the two balancing like the
divided cars. When the fireman “stoked
up” he had to descend to the tenders by
ladders. The Engines and the cars ran on
a series of central wheels, and as they pro-
truded through the center of the floors,
arrangements were made by which they
did not inconvenience passengers. The
cars were narrow, the main rail broad,
and whenever the car tilted there were
side wheels which caught on to the
wooden rails and thus aided in preserv-
ing the equilibrium of the trains—Pitts-
burg Post.
A Queer African Dish.
Saleh, Stanley’s attendant, said it was
curious to watch Stanley’s white officers
when introduced to chiquanga, a kind of
pudding made of boiled manioc root.
Neither the taste nor odor of this food is
at all inviting at first, but necessity brings
all whites as well as blacks to regard it as
the bread of life before many months of
residence in Central Africa.
Sometimes when deprived of it for many
days I have often hailed a piece of toasted
chiquanga as a real luxury, and I have
been rather disgusted with newly arrived
whites whose upturned nose condemed my
barbaric taste.
When Stanley's white officers had fin-
ished their small stock of tinned provis-
ions and rice, they were absolutely .com-
pelled to fall back on the manipc dishes;
but the sourness of taste of this African
pudding is a serious barrier to the enjoy-
ment of it, and some stubborn persistence
is required before the white man hails
chiquanga as a delicacy; but like other
white travelers. these officers began to like
it, and when they passed beyond the dis-
tricts where it grew, and were forced to
adhere to a roast plantain dict, they re-
gretted bitterly that they had no manioc.
——St. Nicholas.
\‘t‘hat Our Authors Did in 1855.
In the Boston Transcript some one tells
what the present leading authors of the
country were doing in 1855. Mr. Howells
was setting type in his father’s printing
office, and he has never been ashamed of
it, either; it is twenty to one that he was
an excellent compositor. Charles Egbert
Craddock roamed, a little child, upon the
Tennessee mountains, and Celia Thaxter
gathered pimpernels upon the wind-swept
Isles of Shoals. All these youngpeople
then anda little later, must have found
very little inspiration for their baby
geniuses in the current literature of that
day, as this contributor gives an account
of it; the idols of people were Fanny Fern
and Fitz Greene Hallock and Timothy
Titcomb. Sentimental maidens pored
over “Bittersweets” and “Godey’s Lady’s
Book,” and the general literary tone was
decidedly weak. A vast deal that was
good had already appeared in 1855, but the
people hardly knew it. As to the only
great piece of fiction of the period, “Uncle
Tom's Cabin," people were divided be-
tween declaring that it was rubbish and
asserting that it was the work of Henry
Ward Beecher and not Mrs. Stowe, because
no woman would have brains enough to
write it!
A Bright Parrot.
A gentleman was boasting that his par-
rot would repeat anything he told him.
For example, he told him several times,
before some friends, to say “Uncle,” but
the parrot would not repeat it. In anger
he seized the bird, and half-twisting his
neck, said, “Say ‘uhcle,’ your beggar!"
and threw him into the fowl pen, in which
he had ten prize fowls. Shortly after-
wards, thinking he had killed the parrot,
he went to the pen.
To his surprise he saw nine of the fowls
dead on the floor, with their necks wrung,
and the parrot standing on the tenth
twisting his neck and screaming, “Say
‘uncle,’ you beggar! say ‘uncle.’ ”—Spare
Moments.
A Plg Like an Elephant.
Mrs. Eliza Saunders of Texas is the own-
er of a pig that bears a striking rumm-
blance to a miniature elephant. 1'. has
but one eye. It is apparently healthy, and
suckles in the usual manner. The eye is
where the nose and mouth should be. The
trunk is about two and a half inches long,
the tusks not more than n half-inch. It is
about five weeks old. Send it to the
World‘s Fair as one of tne curiosities of
Texas—El Paso (Tex) Tribuuc.
