TIE TURF
A sfnbbns ARRAY Livens Up the
Races mt Frisco.

San Francisco. Cal, Dec. 1.-Young
Bob Isom, the crack lightweight
colored jockey, furnished the sensation
of the day at the races today by stab
bling Robert Combs, another jockey in
the back and inflicting q serious if not
fatal wound In the third race, Combs
was on Lovdal, the favorite, and Isom
rode San Luis Rey. Coming into the
stretch, Isom crowded Combs and the
latter, after they had dismounted and
gone to the dressing room, threatened
to beat Isom. Isom talked back and
Combs proceeded to carry his threat
into effect. Felix Carr, another c0lored
jockey, handed Isom knife and the
boy plunged it into Combs back.
Combs ssory is that there had been a
quarrel and that after it was over
Iso,n dressed and coming up behind him
stabbed him in the back. Isom was
arrested and Carr will also be taken
into custody. Isom once cut a jockey
in Chicago. The races were exciting
but everything went the bookmaker's
way. Argenta was the only -favorite
to win during the day. Hueneme, d
forty to one shot, won the first race in

Princeton'S COlOrs Again Dragged

New York, Dec. LIN spite of the

there is a football game between Yale
and Princeton, and $4,000 people with
in and without the grounds saw the
Princeton's color dragged in the mud
and snow for a score of "A to 0. 1t was
q miserable day, cold and raw. Prince
ton was outplayed from beginning to
end and rarely was the ball in Yales
territory. and then only for few sec
onds, when it was either rushed out
Of danger or was punred far down the
field by RutterWorth. The rest Of
seven days had done wonders for the
Yale men, and they went in the game
as though the Harvard game had BEEN
a month away instead Of only a week.
Their improvement was remarkable,
and especially in the case of Butter
worth, for he bucked the line with all
his old time Yigor and his punting was
as good as at any time in his career,
in spite of the fact that the ball was
slippery and hard to hold. Little
fumbling was seen on the Yale side
and the men were generally sure
catchers. On the other hand, Princeton
did not seem able to do anything with
the ball when they had it. Time and
time again Butterworth's punts were
niSsed by Poe, and once his tumble re-
suited in a touchdown.
The team which lined up against
Yale was not for an instant to be COM
pared with that of year ago, and
Yale did better. This tells the whole
story

Elyria, o., Dec. 1.-The full story of
the crime of the murder of William
Gletzer, Of which Charles Geska is ac-
cused, has just been made known and
is almost unparalleled in some Of it's
cold4blooded features. Geska made q
confession to the sheriff in which he
stated that he had two confederates
from Cleveland named Michael Plaks
and Charles Todd. The trio went to
Gletzer's house on the night of Nov.
ID and found Gletzer by his fireside.
Seeing that the intruders would not
leave Gletzer tried to draw razor, but
dropped it. On STOPPING TO pick it UP
ne received charge from shotgun
in the head The weapon was fired by
Charles Geska, the prisoner. The men
ran out TO the barn, but soon returned
and found that Gletzer had crawled
around to his front gate and expired.
They found a rope and dragged the
body to the barn and then returned
and went to bed, after wiping up the
blood marks. The trio remained in
the barn Wednesday and that night
went to the barn and placed a lot OF
powder in the hay NOW, to which a
lighted fuse was attached. They then
appeared. The body had been
placed on the hay NOW. During the
progress of the fire a dark object was
seen to roll from the hay NOW as the
side OF the building fell out.

SURVEY OF LANDS.
A Serious Error Discovered in the
Enrolling OF the Sundry Civil APP
preparation Bill.

Washington, Dec. IAN error has
been discovered in the enrolling of the
sundry civil appropriation bill for the
current year, which has seriously in
convenienced several states in secur-
ing surveys
For several years past, this bill. in
the appropriation for the survey of
public lands, contained a provision
that in the states Of Montana, Wyom-
ing. Colorado, Utah, Washington, Ida
no and Oregon there may be allowed,
with the approval of the secretary of
the interior, for the survey of lands
heavily timbered, mountainous or COW
cred with dense undergrowth. a rate
not to exceed $25 per linear mile for
standard and meander lines, S23 per
township and $40 for section lines"
This provision was incorporated in
the last bill, and was accepted by the
Senate without opposition. But it ap-
pears that in enrolling the bill the pro-
vision was omitted, and as it was
signed by the presiding officers of both
House and Senate and the President,
the bill became law without the pro-
vision. When the surveyor-generaI Of
the states came to let contracts, it was
found there were no surveyors who
would engage to survey the lands de-
scribed in the omitted proviso at the
regular rates. Complaints were made.
and upon Investigation it was found to
be a purely clerical error 1t is under
stood that steps will be taken to have
the error corrected in the urgency de-
ffciency bill, which will pass proba bly,
before the holiday recess, and con-
tracts can be made for SURVEYS to the
full amount of the appropriation.

They came to town in small groups by

NICARAGUAN CANAL.
1t VIII Probably Receive Early and
Earnest Attention at the Coming
Session of Congress.

Washington, Dec. There is a
strong undercurrent of belief among
the members of Congress that the
Nicaragua canal will receive very ear
nest consideration during tine session
of Congress which begins on Monday.
The feeling is especially pronounced
in the House and prevails particularly
among the southern members: even
those who, like Bailey, of Texas. OBJ
pose the bill on constitutional amid
economic grounds, concede that the
question will receive early attention
and most of them are of the opinion
that the prospect of success is good.
Mr. Cooper, of Florida, says nothing
could restore the popularity of the
Democratic party so much as
authorizing the construction of
the canal "7The Democratic
party is the party which added
the Mississippi valley and Pacific
coast to the national map and it is the
party which should provide for this
great enterprise. If it will do this dur
ing the short session and provide for a
more elastic currency and the ap-
pointment of federal officers, I infer it
will not long be out of power
Representative Livingston, of Geor-
gia, says If the Democrats do not act
on the bill. the Republicans will be
sure TO take 1T up when t1ey come in,
and get all the credit 1t is evident
that the foreigners want to control the
canal. He says it was the tacit under
standing during the last session that
the bill should come before the short
session.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 1.-The state OF
Alabama now has two governors and two
separate sets of state officers.
Colonel Oates and those elected on his
ticket. preside at the state house.
Captain hoib and his contingent have
not announced their official headquarters.
The political situation in Alabama today
has been a most exciting one. This was
the day set by law for the inauguration
of a governor and state ticket. The re-
turns of the August election have shown
the election of the Democratic ticket,
headed by Colonel William Oates, by over
10000 majority. The legislature in joint
session had regularly counted and an
nounced the result.
Captain Koib, Oates opponent, the
nominee of the PopuIists, charged frauds
and claimed he had received a ajority OF
votes cast and was the rightful heir to
the governors Office. He determined,
therefore, to lie sworn in and was.
AT high noon, surrounded by members
of the Legislature and with the usral
pomp of military display, Colonel Oates

well as to lend spirit to the occasion,

present and participated in the Inaugural

the countries to the agreement, and cause
an immigration of people from England

country to her knees.
Inc PopuliSt party is the natural out
growth of the financial tyranny which
naturally accompanies the adoption of the
marrow gold standard. If the great ma
tions of the earth are to continue this
policy, then we viii have more Populism.
The recent defeat of the Populsts cannot
be constructed as defeat for bimetal-sn
1t was a defeat simply for fiat paper
money and not a defeat for silver
The Republican majorities all over the
country this year are accounted for by
reason of a conviction in the minds of the
people that the protective policy is the
best policy for this country and that the
Republican party is the best party to car
ry out that policy. The people also be-
lieve that the Republican party will adopt
a financial policy under which it will not
be possible for the gold brokers of this
or any other country to control the treas
ury OF the United States.
Think of a condition which permits
these money shavers to draw gold from
the treasury OF the United States and then
return it TO the government in exchange
for interest bearing securitiesi That is
what they did when Cleveland issued
bonds the first, and it is what they did
when he issued bonds the second time.

the News from Durango, Colo, says:
Agent Dave Day, of the Southern
Utes. and Brigham Young, jr., oldest liv-
ing son of the late Brigham Young, of
the Norman church, were passengers on
the incoming train tonight.
Previous to leaving the agency, Day
mailed reports to the Indian commits
sioner and a short report to General A
FNIcDonald McCook. Mr.. Young was in
Monticello, Utah. the centre of the re-
ported troubles, this week, and says all
the reports are results of the hot and
aHnpetuous cowboys upon one side and
the Pah Utes, or renegade Indians, upon
the other. He says the Southern Utes,
with the exception of Chief Mariana
who is surly and impudent at times, are
well behaved and do not desire strife
Of any kind.

Yany, which has perslstentlv fought the
removal of the Utes to Utah, is back of

plain by the fact that last night Agent
Day received a letter from Mr.. Cunning

the attention of the agent to the Utes

Legal Wife-Great satisfaction
Over the RulinG.

Fargo, N. D., Dee. 1.-The Hirsch-

of the Montana millionaire has been
declared by a court of equity to be a
legal wife.
Judge Mcconnell gave the decision,

The decision was given orally, the
court stating that he did not care to

evidence: had followed each witness

plaintiff and saw no other way in
justice than to hold the marriage con-
tract valid and deny the decree. The
judge had warned the spectators that
there was to be no applause, and the
crowd respected the command, but

sigh of relief that went up swelled to
murmurs of applause. But outside the
