GLENDlvE, May 14.-[Special. .]-One of
the best foot races ever run in the state
took place to-day in Glendive, between the
Northern Pacific tracks, one hundred yards.
Alex. Gott, of Miles City, who took several
thousand dollars out of Glendive last
Fourth Of July, was anxious for another
match whereby he could relieve the Glen

j. I. w. Dejong stakeholder and referee.
To day at 8 o'clock the balance was put up,
making $500 side, between Alex. Gott, of
Miles City, and T. Collins, the English

given, by pistol shot, Gott led five feet,
and continued in the lead until he covered
seventy-five yards, when Collins took the
lead, and broke the string four feet four
inches ahead of Gott. Time, 1O4. The

SL0WEST DERBY EVER RUN
Riley Wins From a Field Of Six
in 2:45, Through Sticky
Mud.
A Mighty Conoourse Of People
and a Great Deal Of
Money.
Murphy's superb Riding Achieves tho
victory-Letcher the Only One in
It-Other Sports.

LouBvn1E, May 1.-THE features of the
opening day of the spring meeting Of the
Louisville Jockey club were tho great
crowd, some very lively though not heavy
betting. and the mud, and then the Ken
tucky derby was run in the slowest time on
record. 1t rained heavily all night, and
until 10 O'Clock this morning. At 2 o'clock
the heavens were clear. and when the bell
called for the first race fully 10000 people
were present.
While the bets placed by individuals
were not heavy, except in a few instances,
the aggregate of money that changed hands
was very great. A good many were unable
to place their money, as the jam was SO
great. The track was slush at the opening,
and the slightest canter scattered slop for
several feet on either side, and with every
great bound in running, mud and water
dashed yards away in every direction. AS
the racing progressed the mud dried q little
and became more sticky.
Five furlongs, two-year. .olds-Grandpa
won, Liberty Bell second, General Cald-
Mile, all ages-uncle Bob won, Glockner
second, Warpeak third. Time 1:464.
Next came the derby and Riley won it.
None of the other five could touch him on
that muddy track, and it is doubtful if Bill
Letcher, who alone proved to be in the
son OF Longfellow even over dry track.
1sak Murphy's riding was superb. The
occasion required Jockey who could keep
his horse in hand and prevent his killing
himself by running away. Murphy did
this admirably. He had his horse under
complete control throughout; held
him back to let the others set the pace
through the mud, kept the way open before
him to take advantage of every favor that
the dreadful track offered and ready at the
right moment to make run and win the
race.
D There were were six starters. Riley (Murphyl,
tom, Bill Letcher, (Allen). Robespierre,
(Francis), Outlook, (Breckenridge.) They
were off at the first tap of the drum, with
Letcher in the lead. Palisade second, Out
look third, the others punched. At the
quarter Robespierre led. Outlook second,
Palisade third, the others scattered. At the
half Riley was first by head in front OF
Robespierre.
At the three-quarters Riley began his
race and the rest began whipping for life.
Riley went to the front, Bill Letcher second
Robespierre third, the rest struggling. In
the stretch Riley was two lengths in front
of Letcher and coming easily, Robespierre
third. Letcher then began coming under
heavy whip, and for a moment it looked
like his race, but Murphy loosened his reins
and Riley responded nobly, coming under
the wire winner by a length and three-quar-
ters, Robespierre length behind Letcher,
Palsade back two lengths more, Fonso nearly
neck and neck with him and Outlook ten
lengths in the rear. Time 245.
Three-quarters of mile heats, all ages,
first heat:-Whitenose won, Loveland
second, Friendless third. Time l;l9L.
Second heat:-Whitenose won, Loveland
second, Banner Bearer third. Time 1;2O.

THE SIN OF COvETOUsNEss.

1t Leads to the Butchery of Three Wealthy
People.
WASHINGTON. Pa, May A.-News reached
here to-day of triple murder committed
at Bentleysville, near here, last night. Jno.
Crouch, an aged and wealthy farmer. his
wife and grown-up son, were found this
morning in bed with their throats cut from
ear to ear. The door of the house was
standing open and the bedclc hing furni-
ture and walls stained and bespattered with
blood. The scene was horrible. and the
news spread rapidly about the village. The
murdered persons were the wealthiest in
that section of country, and the theory is
that the murder was committed to get the
money generally supposed to be kept about
the house. Searching parties started out in
all directions, but no clue has been found
of the perpetrators. There being no tele-
graph facilities nothing more can be learned
Tonight.

The Robbery Of Editor Wallace.

NEw York, May A. Regarding the rob-
berry of Jno. w. Wallace, editor of Wal
lace's Monthly, Inspector Byrnes this even
ing said the party who stole $4,000 worth
of bonds from Wallace was Leslie Mcleod,
assistant editor of the magazine.
It was at first supposed young Robt.
Wallace stole them. Mcleod has
been identified by an official of the
Safe Deposit company as the man who
went to the vaults on Wednesday and on
Thursday morning the bonds were missing.
1t is known that young Wallace on Thurs
day afternoon negotiated $4,000 worth of
bonds. The same day he took a steamer
for Havana. The amount of bonds and
money stolen is $4,000. Great surprise is
at the action of young Wallace
who was a distant relative of his bene-
factor.

REPUBLICANS BREAKING FAITH.

Teller Says the Silver Bill IL Not in Accord
With the Platform.
WASHINGTON, May A.-Among the bills
placed on the calendar of the senate was
the senate bill subjecting imported liquors
to the provisions of the laws of the several
states. Hoar, member OF the judiciary
committee, explained that the bill was rem
dered necessary by the late decision of the
supreme court. He fully concurred in the
purport of the bill. but supposed the prin-
ciple Of the courts decision extended to
other things than distilled spirits, to opium,
for instance, and should have preferred that
the bill should have applied to all articles
which states might desire to prohibit the
sale of. Ed1nunds expressed the same idea.
After further discussion Plumb desired to
know what question was before the senate
and was informed by the vice.
president that there was no question
pending. He then demanded the
regular order, and when Hoar desired to
make some further remarks Plumb OBJ
jected and insisted on the regular order.
that he had never seen such an exhibition
of boorishness before.
"Then you never look into glass;" was
the retort of Plumb.
EdmundS introduced q bill to establish
the university of the United States and had
it referred to select committee. The sill
yer bill was then taken up and Teller ad-
dressed the senate. He spoke of the bill as
relating to perhaps the most important
question that had been presented to the
senate since the decentralization of allver
in 1873, if it could be truthfully said that
question was ever presented to the senate.
He disclaimed any anxiety or any especial
interest in promoting the price of silver,
save and except that silver was
an American product, and therefore every
American ought to have an interest in ad-
vancing its price. The silver product of
the United States, 50,000.0OO ounces last
year, was insignificant in comparison with
the great interests of the country that were
involved in the rehabilitation of silver as a
money metal. 1t would not do to say the
silver barOns of the west were demanding
it, or that its demand was in the interest Of
cheap money. 1t was demanded, in the
interest of humanity, in the interest of CIV
interest of the whole human race.
He criticised the Window bill and said he
could not see what the purpose and object
of that scheme was. That scheme met the
approval of the gold mono-metallists every
where, ann that was reason enough to war
rant the suspicion that it was Trojan
horse. OF the bill reported from the finance
committee, he said it was founded on the
same system of financial policy and there
was the same philosophy in it. but it did not
propose to use silver as money. It's funda-
mental idea was. as in the other bill, that
silver was metal and nothing else.
Teller went on to speak of the silve.. S,lank
in the national republican plattSSr,n, a.

ST. LOUIS. May 14.-In Southern Meth
odist conference to-day the committee on
temperance reported in favor of unfer-
mented wine for sacrament whenever prac-
ticable and approved the resolutions intro
duced last week opposing all laws licensing
or permitting the manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors as beverage, be-
cause such laws provide for the continuance
of the traffic and furnish no protection
against it's ravages; that the proper attitude
of Christians toward the drinking traffic
ground of personal temperance and COM
plete legal prohibition of traffic is the duty
of the government. The report went to the
calandar and will no doubt cause much de-
bate when it comes up for consideration.

BozEAeAN, May l.-[Special. The three
days rain and snow has had pleasing effect
upon both the farmer and his crops. The
latter are looking fine. A very large acre
age has been sown this year, but the supply
will not be above the demand, inasmuch as
new railroads will give the valley direct
communication and lower freight rates to
consumers who have depended heretofore
upon the farmers of Utah for their necessi-
ties. The West Gallatin ditch will be freely
used this year and the outlook for another
large ditch or canal is very promising. O.
p. Chisholm, the well-kuown Chicago rustler,
became convinced last fall that there was
money in large ditch. which could be led
across large area of land now lying idle.
He has succeeded in convincing some New
York and Chicago capitalists that his pro-
ject was worthy of investigation, and dur
ing the past week these men have looked
over the ground, apparently we'll pleased
with the project. In these days of irriga-
tion, ditch property is becoming the most
valuable to investors.
During the past seven days some large
real estate transfers have been made. most
ly In the lower end of the city, near the
location Of the new hotel. There has been
q larger movement in real estate this spring
at Bozeman than ever before in its history,
for like period. No fancy prices have
been paid in any instance.
