The program opened with the unfinished race of yester- day. In the first heat 1t was evident that the winner would be either Headlight or Fannie S., and both horses were backed heavily. When Fannie s. won the fourth heat and both horses stood even the e1- oitemsnt was great. In the last heat Head light went under the wire half 6 length ahead, but she had broken four times and was set back, giving the race to Fannie. In the second race Woodmont was 6 stsyng favorite and won each heat by a good distance. Fannie Prince was backed

 DISCLOSURES IN moNAsTERY. Valuable Stolen Articles Found in the monks' CelIs-Arrests Of the Monks. Moscow, June 15.-The recent robbery of the valuable church ornaments, gold vessels, etc., from the famous Tchoodova monastery on the anniversary of the czsr's coronation, when the articles were used at the anniversary ceremonial, has led to the discovery of disgrsceful state of affairs at the monastery. The police, suspecting that the monks were implicated in the robbery, searched the monastery and found nearly all the stolen property hidden in the monks' cells. The chief articles were gorgeous vestments, only worn on rare occasions, which were richly incrusted with diamonds and pearls, but when the vestments were recovered all the jewels had been torn out. A fact still more deplorable was the discovery that a number of women were living secretly with the monks.
 The police arrested all the monks and closed up the monastery, and the culprits are expected to be condemned to the Sibe- rian mines.
 CARRKIRO COMPRISES. The Police Relieve That There Is No
 Doubt That He Murdered Bertha
 Manchester.
 FALL RIVER, Msss., June 15.-It has been authoritatively stated tonight by the police officials that there Is no reason to doubt the guilt of Jose Csrreiro, who stands accused of murdering Bertha M. Manchester on Memorial day. This state ment was made, not for the purpose of ore ating sensation, but to sllay the excite ment in the community.
 The watch stolen by Correiro has been found and Is now in the hands of the authorities. It was found within three quarters of @ mile of the scene of the murder in 8 spot where it had been hidden by the prisoner, who directed the authori- ties to Its hiding place.
 The only evidence of guilt found was . blood spot on his shirt, hardly an eighth of an inch in diameter, but among those whose positions make their statements re- liable 1t Is said that Correiro has virtually made confession. He does not acknowl- edge, of course, that the brutal murder was in any way premeditated, but 1t resulted from the strong, passionate fight made by the victim.

A Catastrophe.

The old man in soiled gray, often seen galivant-
ing round the yard for news, with an impeachment
to his speech, has remarkably fine ear for
animated gossip, but he missed the opportunity
of his life by not Overhearing the following con-
versation which took place in the office presided
over by the genial and affable clerk, E. A.
O'Brien. Three beautiful, sweet-tongued ladies
approached the window. presented credentials
and solicited aims for some benevolent purpose.
Mr.. O'Brien, who is we'll known for his generos-
ity and philanthropy, quickly reached into his
pocket and contributed two dollars. The con-
versation soon drifted upon prison life and pen
OlOgy in general, and various were the questions
asked and answered. Finally, one of the ladies
asked: How much salary do the prisoners
get?" "Oh," said Mr.. O'Brien, prisoners do
not get any salary, they are only allowed ten
cents day. by the state, for good conduct
"Oh, my! is that sO?" said the lady; and, with a
glance at the money in her hand, innocently in
quired: Are you not prisoner" Whereupon,
MIR. O'Brien drank a glass of water and sank in
to his chalr-and for further information, there
after, applicants were gracefully referred to the
rules and directions hanging on the wall. SP.
