The world's championship dash would have pot produced a greater effort than wnS made by the contestants. It was an exciting linlsh with the son of sunny Italy In the lead almost to the line.

There were very strange circumstances surrounding the case, and the officials deemed an investigation necessary. Coroner Dodson took to the lake with him, the Wilkesbarre men whom Potter had rowed across the pond—T. J. Qeorgi and Harold Kinsey. After listening to the testimony of witnesses, the coroner's jury rendered the following verdict:A serious light among foreigners occurred lust evening before nine o'clock in a colony of Polanders, on Iturglur Escaped Almost locking arms with a burglar (his morning as he was" walking through his house, Peter Locuta, a well known Polish undertaker, of Dupent, was so frightened that lie allowed the stranger to walk away without making any semblance of resistance. A burglar was the farthest thought from Locuta's mind when he arose to investigate some small noiso in the house, and that the burglar was equally surprised on being found only a few l'eet away from the man he was about to rob was evidenced when he stood for what seemed to Locuta to be fully a m.lnute before he started away. The burglar was the first to recover from the shock, however, and by the time L.ocuta was ready for action he, was outside the house and moving silently through the lot. 8torm Rages Above.

According to information coining from a member of the Imperial family, a dispatch was sent to M. Witte which is considered at Petcrhof as offering a decided hope of peace. The Slovo's Portsmouth correspondent, reporting the arrival of au "eagerly expected dispatch." quotes M.

The correspondent adds that there is ground for hope, as an agreement in principle has been reached, and the question now hinges on the amount of the num.

He saw an open window on .irts second floor and entered by standing on a large box and pulling himself up. The room he entered llrst was one of the bed rooms. The man was evidently somewhat acquainted with the house, for before he started to work he went through two rooms to the kitchen, leaving each of the doors open, and then opened the kitchen door.

Lieutenant Nelson made his boat perforin the remarkable feat of diving to a depth of twenty feet and while going at full speed at that depth reversing her course. The complete turn occupied only one minute. Subsequently the engines were stopped and the vessel was submerged to a depth of twenty feet. There she was kept motionless, a demonstrat'jii of her ability to remain in that pos. ion for hours while waiting an opportunity to launch one of her torpedoes at ft vessel of a blockading squadron which might be passing or repassing a given point.

The latter gave no thought to the Idea that a burglar might be in the house, but he determined to see if everything was all right. He arose, but did not bother with his revolver, which was nearby, and started to walk through the rooms where the doors had been left open. Both the owner of the house and the burglar were approaching the kitchen door at an angle and both stepped to the opening at the same time. There had been no previous noise, and the suddenness of the approach of the men cause both to fall back Involuntarily. Neither recovered from the shock at once and they stood staring at each other. An electric light in an adjoining room gave Mr. Lofcuta a good view of the burglar, but the latter did not consider it necessary to hide his features, or did not think to do so. The Intruder was the first to recover himself, probably because he was the less surprised of the two. and he quietly stepped (o the. kitchen door and stepped out into the darkness.

The latter gave no thought to the Idea that a burglar might be in the house, but he determined to see if everything was all right. He arose, but did not bother with his revolver, which was nearby, and started to walk through the rooms where the doors had been left open. Both the owner of the house and the burglar were approaching the kitchen door at an angle and both stepped to the opening at the same time. There had been no previous noise, and the suddenness of the approach of the men cause both to fall back Involuntarily. Neither recovered from the shock at once and they stood staring at each other. An electric light in an adjoining room gave Mr. Lofcuta a good view of the burglar, but the latter did not consider it necessary to hide his features, or did not think to do so. The Intruder was the first to recover himself, probably because he was the less surprised of the two. and he quietly stepped (o the. kitchen door and stepped out into the darkness.
