tack of Pneumonia.

Davis, widow of the President of the
Confederacy, who .iiad been 111 for a
week at the Hotel Majestic in this
city, died at 10:25 o'clock last night.
Death was due to pneumonia Induced
by a severe cold, which Mrs. Davis
contracted upon her return from the
Adirondack^, where she bad spent the
summer months. Although fears were
felt from the first Mrs. Davis' wonder-
ful vitality, which brought her
through a elmilar attack a year ago,
gave hope of ultimate recovery Until
last night, when a change for the
worse was evident and attending
physicians announced that the end
Was near. It was then believed that
Mrs. Davis could not survive the
night, hut she rallied slightly during
the early hours of the day.
Shortly after 7 o'clock yesterday
morning she had a sinking spell and

Roseben, Carrying 126 Pounds. Step-
ped 8even Furlongs in 1:22.
New York, Oct. 17.—D. C. John-
son's Roseben, carrying 126 pounds,
created a new world's record for sev-
en furlongs when he won tile fifth
race at Belmont Park yesterday. He
Btepped the distance in the fastest
time ever made on an American race
course, 1:22.
When he finished and the phenom-
enal time was hung out by the offi-
cial timer, the big crowd arose and
gave the great sprinter a rousing
cheer, which continued for several
minutes, In spite of tho fact that he
was quoted at 1 to 80 In the betting
and they were unable to bet on him.
Johnson and Frank Fnrrell are re-
ported to have won over $25,000 on
his victory, as they bet that the son
of Ben Stromo-Rose Leaf would run
faster than 1:25.

So dissatisfied are the city officials
with the finding of the board that jit
is probable an attempt will be made
to throw the case back into district
court, and fight it out along the lines
which were decided upon before the
arbitration was suggested.
Mayor Kennedy has called a special
meeting of the city council for to-
night at which the future proceedings
will be definitely decided upon.
City Attorney E. J. Smith is much
disappointed over the situation. Mr.
Smith worked hard for the city on
the case and has not yet given up
hope of winning the fight. In dis-
cussing! the report this morning Mr.
Smith saldt
"The report of the board was not
filed with the city secretary as called
for in the agreement, but a signed
copy was left in my office lo* yester-
day, accompanied by a letter from
Mr. Maxcy, one of the members of
the board. The mayor upon being no-
tified called a meeting of the coun-
cil for tonight to consider the report.
Of course, I have no way of anticipat-
ing what action will be taken by the
council. My futuio course* depends
entirely upon the wishes of the coun-
cil in the matter.
"For myself, without opportunity to
thoroughly digest the report. I can
not but express the greatest personal
disappointment If the board had fix-
ed a rate for the consumers based on
the real value of the plant as shown
by the report that would be fair, I
should have been better pleased.
"In a telephone conversation with
Judge Head I advised him of the
meeting tonight. He stated that he
would take no action on the award
until he heard from me and I agreed
to advise him promptly of the coun-
cil's action."

lessness and adopted measures for Its

tion at tills time but its aid was pledg-

BANK MESSENGER MIS8ING.
AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION.

another titled person, a gold Jewel
case studded with diamonds and em-
blazoned with the initial letter "W"

Germany Is in the hands of tho cus-
toms officers of the port.
Hugo L. Lederer of this city, who
was a passenger on the steamer
Deutschland, brought the box with
him and his falling to declare It to tho
customs officers resulted In Its seiz-

eling In Austria he stopped at the

Bank Officials Believe Man Is the
Victim of Foul Play.
New York, Oct. 17.—No trace has
yet been found of John Guther, the
messenger of the Lafayette Trust
Company of Jersey City, who disap-
peared Monday with $12,000 worth of
checks and $375 In gold which he was
directed to carry to a bank. Late
yesterday the checks were returned
tflk the bank by expre'ss, but Ounther
and the gold are still missing.
A remarkable feature of the case is
tho fact that Gunther delivered to
the First National Bank $12,000 In
bills on Monday. The bank officials
who think Gunther is the victim of
foul play, say he could Just as easily
have made off with $12,000 as the
$n75.
AFTER 8ALVATOR*S RECORD.
Roseben Will Try to Gain World's
Premier Running Honors.
New York. Oct. 17.—The gelding
Roseben which made a new record for
seven furlongs at the Belmont Park
race track yesterday, is to try to break
Salvator's record of 1 :.UV4 for a mile
on Friday. The racing association will
offer a purse of $5,000 and a gold cup
as an Incentive for the effort. Rose-
ben Is to carry 110 pounds, the same
weight carried by Salvator when that
horse made the mile record. Salva-
tor's record for a mile has stood since
m90. It was made over the straight
course at Monmouth Park.

charitable worker, has knowledge of
the\ whereabouts of the missing child
and Is secreting It The emphatic de-
nial of this by Mrs. Theill has but
deeped the mysterious circumstances
of the case.
Should Mrs. Cunningham be suc-

missing child and establish the au-
thenticity of a will made by\ Mrs.
Clay a few days before her death"
leaving ber property to her children,
the bulk of the largo estate wl)ilch Is

of the father, a relative of the late
Cassius M. Clay, who was being sued
for divorce at the time of the death
of Mrs. Clay, who hid In Chicago un-
der an assumed name to escape his
anger. Otherwise Clay will recelvo
the estate and the custody of the one
child now in Kentucky.
The fact that the Kentucky courts
will give aJ decision in the case In a
few days has caused Mrs. Cunning-
ham to urge those looking for the
missing child, to greater efforts. Yes-
