The contestants in the 2:l7 race were
now narrowed down to three, Noble,
Cleveland and tha Senator. The last
named horse has remarkable gait,
something about half way between a
heel-and-toe polka and scnot
tlshe. He runs. PAGES, trots
and jumps and repeats the
performance every forty feet but he
gets there after a,fashion. Cleveland
S. was hot company for MIN and he was
clearly out-classcd by Harry Noble.
They were sent off with Senator Conk-
lin dancing and cleveland S. made q
bad break near the wire. Noble kept
easily in front and the Senator by
hard sprintlng managed to stay close
behind him. Cleveland S. trotted fairly
and squsrely and finished third. The
judges decided the heat as follows:
Noble first place, and first
and fourth money, Cleveland
S second and second money, and
Senator ConkIin third place and third
money. The latter was set back for
running, and Noble was given fourth
money for shutting out Enright and
May Mitchell. Time, 2:19.
The great stallion race was now the sole
interest of the day and many prophe-
sled that Allerton would win IN three

 PErERBoRo, N. H., Dec. 16.-John O.
 Wheeler, keeper of hotel at Rindge Cen. ter, was murdered about o'clock tonight in front of his hotel by John Burnell or Branell, Frenchman belonging in Fitz- william. Burnell, accompanied by another man, whose name is not at present known, drove up to the hotel and asked Wheeler for some liquor. This was refused and high words followed and a scuff1e ensued. Burnen became terribly enraged, and seiz- ing a whiffietree dealt Wheeler a savage blow over the head, killing him instantly. Two other men who came to Wheeler's as- sistance received severe treatment and one was badly injured. After dealing the murderous blow, the Frenchman and his companion ran from the scene across fields. but the latter was soon overtaken by pursuing parties and ia now in GUS. tody. Burnel was more successful and up to the present time has eluded arrest, although his capture is probable before many hours. He is described as being a | hard character who has served several terms in jail for various offences. He is | about forty years old, nearly six feet tall His victim was about sixty-five years oi age, nearly blind and leaves a widow and three children. He had been in the hote business in Rindge about three years.
