jtwas learned that Abe Woody «
brother of the man whom Depriest had

that he did not care. Soon after l>e-

killed him. The ball struck him in
the mouth and passed out of the back

later, and the dead man's body was re-
moved from the train. Abe Woody

Woody. Depriest was a man of pow-
erful physique, and about 42 years old.

he had done tbe deed, his nerve having

Bowena Schiffbauer Recital.
A fair sized and extraordinarily ap-
preciative audience attended the recit-
al given at the Grand Opera last even-
ing by Miss Kowena Schiffbauer. It
is safe to presume thst the audience
expected much at the pleasure of the
famous little fourteen-year-old prodi-
gy of the musical world and it is again
safe to presume that our expectations
never reached the heights the excel-
lence of the program would have per-
mitted. There is a pleasure in the
realization of the faet we have not
overestimated the ability of one to
please, entertain, mystify or enthuse.
Miss Rowena Schiflbauer is a won-
der In the musical world. We cannot
wonder at the great l'aderewski taking
a personal interest in her career. It
has keen our pleasure to have heard
the famous Polander, and in the work
of Miss Kowena we could see many
characteristics of her illustrious ad-
mirer.
Tbe first number -Improvisations—
only left the audience uncertain as to
whether or not the little girl was an
artist. Her execution of the number
was so simple, so natural, that it was
hard to convince us that .the number
was not ona which had perhaps been
rehearsed. After tbu rendition of the
fourth number, in which Miss Soule
furnished tbe original theme and Miss
Kowena provided the improvise, all
our doubts as to her ability to perfect-
ly master the instrument, were pleas
antly laid to rest.
Her remarkable talent as an iinpro-
visor perhaps showed to tbe greatest
advantage in the sweet little theme
provided by Miss Soule. The audience
was first, doubtfully expectant, then
confident, pleased, and finally com-
pletely carried away by the rendition.

Philadelphia, Sept. 26.—Cregccus,
the king of trotters today failed to
lower his record of 2:02f4, made at,
Co umbus, August 2, in a trial on the
Belmont Driving Club course «t Nar-
berth, a suburb of thiscity. The great
son of Kobert McGregor stepped the
mile in 2:04',, without a skip and there
by reduced the track record of 8-08'
msde by Alix on November 7, 1894.'
Everything was conducive to fine time.
The track was lightning fast and there
was not enough breeze to interfere
with the progress of the great trotter.
There were nearly 8,000 persons pres-
ent when Owen Ketcham brought
Crcsceus on the track for his first jog.
He warmed him up in tbe stretch for
a few minutes and then jogged him
around the track in 2:31J, After a
rubbing down Cresceus was brought
out for bis preliminary trial. Without
a pacemaker he did the-mile in 2:13^.
The quarters were done in 331-', 1 ;06>/
1:41, 2:13V It was 4:20 when the
horse made his appearance for the final
effort at rccordbreaking.
After scoring once Ketcham gave
the starter the nod and the great trot-
ter was off, paced by a runner attached
to a sulky. When the first quarter
was reached everybody thought the
record would surely be broken. The
second quarter on the straight back
stretch was in 3i)\, but the third wag
a fraction over a second slower. Turn-
ing into the homestretch, Ketchum
urged the trotting machine to his ut-
most, but the best he could do was
31 'j seconds for the quarter As the
horse Hashed under the wire, a great
shout went up from the crowd, which
immediately swarmed around the
horse and owner. Mr. Ketcham had
no excuse to offer for the failure to
