WON BY FRAUD.
THE FAMOUS NELSON-ALCRYON
CASE DECIDED.
Nelson Confesses that He Won the Race
Fraudulently-Horse and Master Ex-
PEELED from the Association.

New YORK, Dec. 6.-The board of re-
view of the National Trotting association
rendered decision in the famous Nell
SON. Alcryon case to-day, expelling Nell
son and the horse Nelson from the asso-
citation.
Accompanying the decision was con-
fession made by Nelson. The confession
states that Nelson had his horse entered
in the race that came off at Beacon park,
Boston, on September %, 1889. Frank
Noble, the reputed owner of Alcryon,
made an overture to Nelson to arrange
the result of the race and di-
vide the winnings. Nelson re-
fused. The next day, within
two hours of the race, lie learned that
Budd Doble, who was to drive the horse
Nelson, was unabls to be there. He
asked John splan to drive, but srlan
refused. The next day he told Nelson
to drive Nelson. The upshot was that
Nelson had to drive himself, although
he says he was much heavier than the
regulation weight, and this, with the
bad track, constituted a serious handi-
cap to the horse.
Just after the race an intimate friend
of his came to him, and said he had
been seriously concerned about the out
come OF the contest, and had promised
in case of the race being awarded to
Nelson, that Noble might have the pre-
MUM won by the victor. Mel

friend was Influenced by desire
to protect his (Nelson's) horse from
combinations, and so agreed to the ar

by Alcryon. Nelson asserts in spite of
that Nelson won the race on his merits.
here that in the great stallion race be-
bought and paid for three heats, which
gave his stallion the championship in
the stallion world. He paid the day
OF Alcryon, $1,000 cash, and two checks
got back as the winner of the
race, Noble getting $25O0 additional
as winner of second money. Alcryon
was taken that night to shop near the
track and shod with heavy shoes, to
which he was not accustomed. The
fraud was discovered, and both horses
expelled Nelson made a clean breast
of the whole matter, and the National
Trotting association is in possession of
his confession in writing, and has also
the checks in question.

DIsARMING THE INDIANS.
General Schofield Says There Is Onl,
One Way OF Doing 1t.

Oho way Oh DOIhS 1ts
WASHINGTON, Dec. Gin response to
the senate resolution asking for infor-
nation respecting disarmament of the
Indians in the northwest, the secretary
of war today transmitted to congress a
letter from Major-General Schofeld and
a mass Of official correspondence. Cen
eral Schofield in his letter says there
can be no practical disarmament of the
Indians, except by making them actually
prisoners of war, and holding them
under such restraint that it will be i'm
possible for them to secure arms or am
munition. This would seem to require
a change in the general policy followed
in the treatment OF the warlike tribes
of Indians, and would continue military
control over those who have been sub
dued, until such control becomes man
ifestly no longer necessary; and this, it
is suggested, may possibly be done by
joint action between the war and in
terror departments, in such manner as
not to interfere with the measures Of
the interior department deemed best for
the civilization and material welfare of
the Indians.

How the Goidenrod Blooms.


The Listener, in one or two trips which
he has made this summer up into the
mountains, and into Maine as far as Au-
gusta, has noticed a phenomenon which
has now become quite familiar to him,
but which a good many other people to
whom he has spoken on the matter have
failed to notice; namely, that the period
of blooming of the goldenrod does not
begin first in the south and move north
ward, but apparently in the other di-
rection, from north to south. In some
places in northern Vermont and New
Hampshire no goldenrod of the common
field and railroad track variety was in
profuse bloom by the 10th of July. On
the Kennebec river the other day the
goldenrod was much more golden and
less tinged with green still than it is in
Maiden or Cambridge. And the place
where the plant is latest of all in yellow
ing, apparently, is Cape Cod, where the
dwarf seaside variety, most common
there, hardly begins to do itself justice
before September. 1t is possible that
the northern goldenrod ripens before
that farther south for the same reason
that Indian corn ripens earlier in Yer
mont than it does in Virginia-it has got
to ripen earlier if it is going to ripen at
all.-Boston Transcript.

Revive their sun dried bells again
And bless with life a few more hours
Steal gently, gracious gift Of God,

In green leaves nesting; let them feel

In darkness folded give 1t might
