Murphy, of tho Kings County W heel men. lodo n milo on n bicycle, paced bv a locomotive, in 57 4-0 seconds to dltv. His courso was a two-nillo board r,.'Mr nn ii Bi.lliiL' of the Long island railway. Murphy followed an engine nnd a dav coach, tho latter ooiiik vided with n hood, which acted as a wind shield for tho rider. Tho bouid track was laid near Maywood, L. L, ami extended from that station two miles east, ami was as nearly perfect to a level as skill could niako it. Fully a, 000 people saw Murphy mnkohls dar ing lido. Kngincor Sam Ilnoth had his hnnil on the throttle of engine 74 when the word was givon to start at 5: 10. The ongino started at a rapid rate, and be fore 400 yards had been traversed, was running at a rate of more than 60 miles nn l-our. Murphy was keeping well within tho hood. As they neared the beginning of tho mile Btretoh, tho mice was n mile a minute, and a cloud of dust obscured everything from the view of the spectators, who lined tlio banks oil orther side. On cnterim: this paco. which would test his speed, Murphy, in reply to a query, shouted: "Im nil right, send her along.' but tnoro was no necessity for his remarks as to speed, as tho en gineer was sending the big stoarn tlyer along at top speed. Tho quarter was reachod in 15 seconds, ami tho Unit In 2U 2-5. Tho timo fur the tnree-qunr-tors was 44. At the finish, two of tho watches showed 57 4 5, one 67 3-5, an other 68 and tho fifth 67 3-4, which was held by Sheriff Creamer. The timers agreed that .Murphy had covered the distance in 67 4-6 ecouds. Those on the back platform who had watohed Murphy all through his won derful ride stated that tho rider's handle bars had knocked iigaiutt the rubber buffiit at least six time and each time the concussion sent him back fully 6ix feet, but Murphy nlways had strength enough to regain this distance. During the Inst quarter of a mile, the rider covered tho ground for thu greater part fully a wheel's length out side of the hood, but as ho (Kissed tho finish he was close up. Just then two strong men on board the train readied down and seized the rider by either arm and lifted him aboard the cur in safety. Their action undoubtedly save.) Murphy's life, because he was then in such a weak condition that had he been allowed to remain on the wheel ho would have been unable to control it, and a serious, if not fatal, accident might have happened. Murphy was oarried to the front part of the car nnd laid on a cot where a physician administered to him, u rid in less than fivo minutes the cyclist was able to converse with those around him. Murphy seemed dazed at first, and said, in answer to queries ns to why ho fell back eo many times: "I did' that so that I might not como in contact with tho planks which wero being torn up in front of me." Later on, howovei, ho did not refer to this, but Baid: "Roys, I'vo felt al ways that I could do this. Now that I liavo done it, I am satisfied, and eo are many otlieis. " Deforo the train had reached Liaby Ion Murphy had regained his normal condition. Murphy rode a 28-inch wheel, geared to 120, 0j2-iuch crank hangors, and the weight of tho machine was 20 J pounds.

A dispatch to tho Herald from Washington says: IrriHirtant tt with thorite, n new high expletive, are Mng conducted by the board of ordnance an I fortifications at the Sandy Hook proving grounds. Little is known at the war department of the chHincteristics of the new explo sive. It is the invention of l'rofor Tuttle, of Oregon, whomnwrts it Is per fectly safe, ami was willing some weeks ago to put n red-hot poker in n charge of thorite, .lecturing It could Im done without canning It to explode. It is believed to have picric acid as its base. Tests of the explosive by the inventor are said to have been very sat isfactory, and it may prove to lie tho material the army has been seeking. Resides thorite, the ordnance depwrt meut of the army has been experiment ing with jovite, emineiisito and dry and wet guncotton, paying more alien Ron to ti u lait named explotivo than to any other. Ho far none of them has given the results desired before adop tion for service use. Captain William Crozier, military attaelio of the American delegation lo The Hague conference, was iiiHtitioted several weeks ago to stop in Kriglai.d on his way home and mhchi tain if mm.ii bio the ingredients of liddlte and the secret ol the fuse used by General Kitoh net's army in the Soudan with such excellent effect. It is untrue that he has been directed to contract for any quantity of the explosive. Military olllcers In Kngland liavo ap parently neeu tumble to secure nil the information concerning the explosive thtf authorities would like to have. It is recallod that euimerisite, discovered in and used by Franco, was kept a se cret, but this government finally ob tained inclination of its ingredients and has been testing it for some years at Sandy Hook. Tests of jovito woro made by tho nrmy officials several years ago ami wero not very successful. Tho navy department has toetod thorite with con siderable success, and if it continues to be satisfactory it may be adopted by the naval service. Joint I'ltcillc Coci.t Termltinl Compim jr.
