Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-Bv lone- rwlrt the greatest meet that has ever taken place under the auspices of he League 01 American ; Wheelmen was; held? at the Willow Grove track Saturday af ternoon, and with it the 18th and most successful national meet of the organi zation practically came to an. end. Ii. was the crowning event of a varied program that has kept the thousands of visiting cyclists on the move ever since they landed in Philadelphia last Tuesday. Fully 25.000 enthusiasts wit nessed the exciting speed contests. The racing was remarkably free1 from acci dents. . . ; . -. v -.; . , The time, while uniformly' fast, was not as a rule sensational. One world's record was broken, Fred Schade, of Herndon.'Va., clipping 12-5 seconds or the previous best figures for one-third of a mile amateur, against time, paced. by riding the distance in 32 4-5 sec onds behind a quad. It was a beauti ful piece of work and called for liberal applause. Lame Johnnie Zimmerman, of the Castle Wheelmen, went out to ride a half mile paced by a quad and did it in 53 2-5 seconds. Considering ;the youth of ;.the rider.' this was a ; splendid per formance. '. ' J i ; 1 - ':- Charles Church, of this city, tried for the mile -record, paced by a triplet for the first lap and by a quad for the last two. The triplet set a rattling pace, and Church seemed likely to beat Ar thur Gardiner's time. 1.39 3-5, made over the same track on Friday, but the pfek up by the "quad" was so poor that all chance of record breaking was lost Ghurchlost not less than three seconds on the change of pacemakers. The quad set a good pace under the spur .of the hoots of the spectators and took Church around the track at a merry clip, his time for the mile being 1.43 3-f a very good performance under the circumstances. Major Taylor, the little colored Cam bridge (Mass.) boy, who took fourth money in the one mile open profes sional race, rode a mile in 1.45 3-5 paced by the. same "quad" and triplet, meeting with about the' same fate as Church. . , . . Arthur Gardiner, paced by two Day ton quads, rode a mile in 1.44. Fred Ilatters'ey came out for a similar trial but his quad broke down and he did not start. The race of the day, from a racing standpoint, was the one mile open, pro fessional, for a $500 purse, which Earl Kiser wen, heating Eddie Bald in a re markably hot finish in 2.03 1-5. A. C; Martens' victory in the final heat of th3 five mile championship was also a sensational win. Bald was again second to Eck's rider, and F. A. Me- Farland was third. The time, 10.45, beats the record for a single paced competition teifcrmance. The final "heat in the amateur two rnile ; national championship was won by I. A, Powell, of No .v York, ia 4.231-5. E. W. Peabody of Chit-ago was second. Edward L,Ievcl!yn cf' Chicago third and Charles M. Ertz of New York fourth. Althouch the national League of American Wheelmen meet, came to an end official'; with the close of Sat urday's races, the big crowds and the enthusiasm were yesterday transferred to Atlantic City. The associated cy cling clubs cf Philadelphia, under whose attspices the meet was held, gave an excursion to that place.

KILLED IE HIS WIFE'S PRESENCE. The Spanish Statesman Shot Down by a Fiend In Aceompl ishmeut- ot" a Just Vengeance," mid the Out come of a Vast Conspiracy. Madrid!, Aug. 9. Henor Canovas del Castillo, prime minister of Spain, wan assassinated yesterday at Santa Agu- eda by an anarchist. The murderer fired three shots, one of Which' struck the premier in the forehead and an other in the chest. The wounded man fell dying a-t the feet of his wife, who was with him ; JJtf J !n agony for two hours, and then passed away with the cry of "Long live, Spain." which were the lart words upon hi:! lips. ; ' Santa Agueda is noted for its baths. The place is between San Sebastian. the summer residence of the Spanish court, and Vittoiia, the capital of the province of Alava, about 30 miles south of Bilbao. The premier went there last Thursday to take a three weeks' course of the baths, after which he expected to return to San Sebastian to meet United States Minister Woodford when officially received by the queen regent. The assassin was immediately arrest ed. He is a Neapolitan, and gives the name of Rinaldi, but it is believed that PISEMIKU CASTILLO. this Is an assumed name, and that his real ' name is Mic hele Angino Golli. The murderer declares that he killed Senor Canovas "in accomplishment of a just vengeance," and that the deed is the outcome of a vast anarchist con spiracy. He is believed to have arrived at Santa Agueda the same day as the premier, and he was frequently seen lurking in the, passages of the bathirrg establishment in a suspicious manner. Senor Antonio Canovas del Castillo was horn at Malaga, Feb. , 18,'s. lie WOMEN AID THE STRIKERS. they Do Kffeet I ve Work Among the Plum Creek Miners. : Pittsburg. Aug.; 9. Although "yester day was considered a day 4of rest nmong the strikers, probably the most effective work among -the Plum Creek miners, was performed, and as a . re sult the strikers have been assured that considerably less than 200 men will be at work tomorrow in this mine. A large mass meeting was held at Camp Isolation, at Plum Creek, yes terday, afternoon, which, ' in addition to about 1,000 others, was attended by r.bout 200 women, the wives and,daugh t :-rs of the miners still at work In the Plum Creek .'mine. Notwithstanding the fact that deputies visited the homes cf these people in the morning, and ad ' vise cT them not to attend the meeting, nearly every wife brought her husband with her.. Because off the many re-, strictioris put on the strikers, they have hitherto bi-en unable to get a chance to argue their cause with the Plum Creek' workmen, and the occasion given them yesterday was- taken advantage of to the full. , y '. The unusual opportunity yesterday was the result of the missionary work of the wives of the strikers from Mc Donald, Fonleyville and Carnegi These women have been working assiduously during the past week, and secured the promise of the wives of the working miners to attend the meeting and brir. their husbands. The result of the meet ing was the assurance from nearly 100 men that they would join the striker.! today. The plan is for the men to-work until they receive their 20 day's pay. which will be given them today, and then they are to desert the pit, leaving only eight days' wages back, which. judging by the action of the company in the case of the Sandy Creek strik ers on Saturday, will be refused them. If this - plan does ' not miscarry, the strikers think it will only be a ques- tiofi of a very short time, until the De Armitt mines are tied up completely. The meeting yesterday was inaugu rated - by religious services conducted by Rev. Lincoln Lash, assisted -by a choir of 20 colored jubilee singers, 'after which Mrs. Mary Jones, the Chicago agitator, speke. for about an hour, put ting the case very plainly to the women auditors. She placed the responsibility for the success or failure of the strike on the wives, and made a" decidedly favorable impression.

In 1S51 he made his debut, under the patronage of Senors Rios, Rosas and Pacheco, as chief editor of the Patria, in which he defended conservative ideas. About this time he published a volume of lyric poems and a series of historical papers. In 1S52 he was named deputy-for llala- :a. and from that time to his death had never ceased to occupy a seat in the eortes. In 1S56 he' was charge d'affaires at Rome and prepared the historical memorandum on the affairs of Spain wilh the holy see which served as a basis for the concordat.

Shortly before the revolution , of 1868 he became especially conspicuous as one of the last to defend with energy In the Cortes the principle of .blending liberal and conciliatory ideas with the constitutional monarchy, when all the parties that had supported this pplitieal doctrine had deserted the ; pariiament.

September, 1S75, because of the demands of the extreme conser vative party, but he was called back to the presidency of the council on Dec. ,2 of the same year, and charged particularly with the .direction of the -first legis ative elections of the new regime. He was himself elected to the cortes.froin the city of Madrid in Jan uary, 1S76.

The experiment was made under the orders or the prosecution m the case of Adolph Ijuetgert, the rich .sausage manufacturer, who is charged "with murdering his wife and disposing of her Tjcdy - in the vats at his factory. The prosecution's theory has been that Luetgert plated the body of his wife in" a solution of crude potash and cold water, raised the solution to a boiling point and destroyed all traces of his alleged crime. A few small bones were said to have been found in a vat in the factory. The attorneys for the state say they are entirely satisfied with the test, and declare that they believe it will go far to convict Lutgert of his alleged crime.
