Specials received by the Miner tonight from Northern Montana say that snow is still falline and that the thermoir eter remains low.

At East- erville, la., Mr. Hensinger was in jured during the storm. Paris, May 24. The first stage in the ParisrMadrid automobile re. C9 from Versailles to Bjrdeaux, 343 mils, was finished at noon to day, when Liuis Renault dashed at a furious pace into Bordeaux, hav ing made a record run of 8:27:00 An hour later M. Gabritl arrived with a s ill better record of 8:7:00. It is estimated from the time made that these automobile covered 62 miles an hour on the road outside the c ties. These victories, however, ; .were clouded bv a eeritS of accidents,. having in one case, at least, a i fatal result. At last two ,cara wete wrecked and Marcel 'Renault,' the winner of the Paris-Vienna race last year; Lorraine Barrows, a very well known antomobilist, and Re nault's chauffeurs were seriously, and it is believed, fatally injured, whil") Barrows' chauffeur was killed. Moreover, an unconfirmed report says that a serious accident occurr ed near Angoulioe, in which the two oacupants of ao automobile, the owner of which is not well known,! were seriously irj ired, and two spectators were killed. This num ber of accidents has not caused any great surprise here, in view of the number of contestants in the race and the great speed and pver of their machines. :i The name of W: K. Vanderbilt, Jr., disappeared from the reports along the route after Rambouillet, where he parsed 28th in order, at 4:45 this morning, going in fine form. The omission of his name fromthe dispatches from Chartnss, the next town on the road, caused some aDxtety and brought forth a number of inquiries. It was learned later that Henri Fouri and Baron de Forest withdrew from the race together before reaching Chartres. All of them suffered breakdowns, and having lot three hours, they decided that it was useless to con tinue. Mr. Vauderbilt and Baron; de Forest returned to the Hotel Ritz at 11 o'clock this morning. They laughed and made light of their withdrawal. Foxhall Keene, Tod Sloin and W. J. Dannaot, the American art ist, did not appear at the starting lina this morning when their turn was reached, and consequently did not tike part in the race. " O. Gray Dinsmdre is thus the only Ameri can left in the race. : Versailles passed a night of wild exci'ement. It is estimated that 100,000 persons crowded .into the little town to witness, the start of the race. . Soldiers with fixed bayr onets lined the track for some dis tance from ; Vereailles. A bomb was exploded at 3:30 A. M., as a signal to get ready, and immediate ly Cnarles Jarrott's car drew into place. Another bomb was fired at 3:45 o'clock for the start, and then the enormous machine shot forward amid the shouts of the thousands of spectators. . The other cars follow ed in quick succession; ; Mme. Dj Gint.Ythe sols female competitor in last year's Pris-Br-lin race, was againt he only woman to participate in the ; present con test. Her machine was decked with flowers, -4 and ;her departure was the signal for a great ovation. She made a splendid run, passing five of her competitors betore reach ing Ch.artres. , 4 The crowd around Mr. anaer- bilt's machine prevented him from reaching the starting line on time, and he was farther delayed by a controversy with the judges, finally starting two minutes late, v The last departure . was at; 6:45 this" morning. ?"iVi.. The reports along the route soon showed : that Louis ' Renault - was making a great race, - and " before Chartres was reached he. had over taken and passed Charles Jarrott and M. Renoe de Kynff and gained lead which he never lost after wards. A COMEDY JAIL. Tow Guardhouse la FeaairlTmala ftTkwt I Merely CveUem J3 Elizabtiitown, the county seat of Essex, in th Adirondack, possesses & comedy jail, accordang1 to the Philadel phia. Ledger. It is small, h&ving, win dows secured by wooden bars, and a jailyard inclosed by a solid fence of three-quarter-inch boards, -which a healthy male could push over with his shoulder. : But the prisoners rarely, if ever, attempt to escape. Some good stories are told by Judge Kellogg, Judge Hand and other residents. I is a custom to allow the prisoners out on parole.i eo that they may cut the grass on neighboring . lawns, do gar den work, or repair roads for the Til lage or county." Recently one prison er, who should hays returned- at eight o'clock, did not apply for admission until nearly an hour later. The war den anarilv demanded, to know the reason, and added: "Don't let this occur again, or I will not allow you to come in. ; I lock the door at eight o'clock, and Won't open it inihe future for von." Another accused of and awaiting trial for manslaughter, oyar stayed his parole and pleaded as an ex cuse tnat as it was - oaturaay ne cu. m a. iv was uru., " thought he wo.uld go and epend Sun- day ith his wife, returning to thail on Monday morning.

It ,was characterized by sensational sprinting, by Wil liams of OAC, who captured the four sprinting events over Payne, the well known University of Ore eon man. The college men led in the score until near tne end ot the struggle when ' with; two ev ents to come, the score stood, 54 to 54. The latter were, the mile run and broad jump, -in which OAQ took but a single place, a third in the jump, the University tearing off seventeen points to OAC's one. The games were characterized by the best offeelme, and tne meet was very interesting to all lovers of sport -, :,'-.?- The baf knee of Moores, re ceived inthe hieh jump in the Forest Grove meet. , the sprained arm of Swan sustained at the same time, and absence of Cathey from the team and the trip of a number of the men to Portland, very prob ably changed the result of the con- test. JO wan, 11 in conaiuon, wouiu have been a sure winner of the pole vault. , Moores and Cathey would have undoubtedly have taken first and second in the broad jump, and Cathey would have ' been sure " of first in the low hurd.es, which would have turned - the score in favor of the college men. . Scores hov ever, settle all things, and the University men won. fairly and are entitled to the full honors of vict ory. - The meet with the .
