Miller's Marvellous Record in the Third
Day of the Contest-From Midnight to
Midnight He Puts $50 Miles Behind
Him-Rice is Second--The Score at 1:15
This Morning.
New York, Dec. Sat midnight the
indominatable eighteen were still pedal
ling their way around the high banked
floor of Madison Square Garden. From
midnight to midnight Miller had put
more than $50 miles behind him. This
marvellous record on the third day OF
the great race carried him alone to a
total of more than 1900 miles in I'll
hours, 1S9 miles ahead of the former
record. During this weary journey
Miller has left the track but for few
hours. With the exception perhaps OF
Stephane, the Frenchman, Miller had
up to a late hour in the afternoon had
less sleep than any other man on the
track. notwithstanding this Miller is
in as seemingly good condition as he
was yesterday.
The next man to Miller at present IS
Rice, and he Is something more than 5O
miles behind. But he is strong and
seems to have the same determination
that carried him almost to the front IN
the big race of last year Last years
champion, Teddy Hale, whose great rlae
then promises to be far outdone this
year. is now making up ground. He is
almost 175 miles behind the leader but
he has crept up from tenth place, which
he held last night, to eighth place, ana
| is certain to go up much higher before
| the end is reached.
After sixty hours Of what seemed to
Americans to be the fiercest kind of
| rivalry Stephane has given way to Ri
| vierre, and the latter has put more
than one hundred miles between him
self and his fellow countryman. He is
now third man. Stephane took the
sulks tonight, which accounts for his
lost ground. He disappeared from the
| track for couple of hours and even af-
ter that only rode at intervals. Waller
has returned to his work with renewed
vigor, but he is now far behind
During the latter part Of the event
there was considerable comnotion in
the garden amongst the ten thousand
spectators, occasioned by Miller falling
off his wheel while asleep. He was car
ried to dressing room, He returned
a few minutes later and went on with
his steady grind.
The score at :15 a. m.--Miller, 1,23S-8

THE TACK COMBINE.


Boston, Dec. SC. B. Russell, presi-
dent Of the Tack Makers union, says:
Gas a result of the recent demand of
the tack makers of the United States
and Canada for the adoption of the new
cutting price list, adopted by us ION Sep
tember 25, and to take effect December
1, all but five concerns out of ninety-two
in this country and Canada accepted
the list, a number, however, condition
ally.
1--WE have been requested by manu-
facturers and workmen alike to call a
joint convention whereby we can ad-
lust what differences exct. Notices
will be sent out this week for such a
convention Our relations with the
manufacturers are cordial but business
like: and in the event that we cannot
adjust our differences amicably we shall
resort to the enforcement of a reaction
ary list which will settle the question in
the near future upon the basis of skill
and endurance. If this measure should
take effect no doubt tacks would be
lower than ever"

CORNELL,S FIRM STAND.
Condition Upon Which She VIII Enter
Triangular Race.

Ithaca,N. Y, Dec Sat a meeting of
the Cornell athletic council held to-
night important communications from
prominent Cornell alumni relative to
the Cornell Yale-Harvard negotiations
were read. The majority expressly
stated that in case Cornell should enter
a triangular race at New London next
spring it should only be on condition
that she be received into Yale and
Harvard's five year agreement. This
was favorably received by the council,
and an extended discussion was held on
this subject.
From Captain Colson who to-day
was in conference at Albany with rep
resentatives from Yale and Harvard, no
communication was received. AS a re.
suit no action on rowing matters was
taken. The election of d. M. Nc
Iaughlin to the captaincy of the Var
sity football team next season was rati-
fled by the council. When Captain Col
son reaches Itahaca, which probably
will be tomorrow, meeting of the
couucil will Immediately be held to act
upon his report of the conference. 1t
was announced at the meeting that his
mission to Albany was merely to dis
cuss preliminary matters.

VEYLER ON THE MESSAGE.
.s Surprised That Spain Should Tolerate
Attacks Upon Him.


patch from Barcelona General Wey-
Ter in the course of an in
terview there has felicitated HIM
self on being attacked" by President
Mckinley in the message, as this proves
that his policy was disp1easing to the
enemies of Spain. He expressed his
surprise that the Spanish government
would tolerate such attacks upon the
representative of the nation
The impartial commenting on the
message says: TT shows a. certain
cleverness and evil intention when it
refers to filibustering expeditions. Nc
Kinley speaks with what appears to be
excessive cynicism to those who have
not lost all notions of justice. The
government must show the Yankees
that the Spanish flag floats over Cuba
and that they have yet to tear it down.
The manufacture and sale of arms is
not the same thing as using them"
La Correspondence de Espana, the
official organ, says that after reflection
Spanish opinion on President McKin-
ley's message to congress is less opti-
mistic than at first. 1t proceeds to i'm
pugn the sincerity of the presidents
protestations of friendship to Sapin and
of respect for international obligations
but it admits that the message was
addressed to congress principally and
in language which, though not intended
to please Spain, will annoy jingoes and
filibusterers.

DUR1N7,S LAST HOPE GONE.
Murderer of Blanch Lamont and Minnie
williams Must Hang.

San Francisco, Dec. Slate this af-
ternoon the supreme court dispelled the
last hope of w. H. T. Durrant, the
murderer of Blanch Lamont and Min
ME Williams by disposing in a summary
manner of his two appeals. In writ
ten opinion by Chief Justice Beatty,
which is concurred in by all but one
of his associates, the court affirms the
Judgment of Judge Bahers in remand
ing the the prisoner to San Quentin
until the date set for his execution, but
reverses the sentencing of Durrant to
be hanged November II and remanded
the case to the superior court with in
structions TO proceed according to law.
AS the remittur was ordered issued
forthwith and the court holds that exc
cution can only be stayed now by the
issuance of a certificate of probable
cause, it only remains to re-sentence
the condemned murderer, which prob
ably will be done tomorrow. Justice
Gaoutte alone dissented from this opin-
ion, maintaining that Durrant's appeal
should have been dismissed as the
time required by law for it's perfection
| has been allowed to lapse.

TRIAL OF CHARL ES BOTN4Y.
David Weeks Turns States Evidence
Plunder Divided in Sisters Room.


Bridgeport, Dec. S-The assurance of
the state previous to the opening of the
trial CT Charles Boinay, charged with
the murder Of George Marcus Nichols of
Daniels Farms last July, that the trial
would be Of short duration, seemed to be
borne out by the sensational proceed
ingS Of to-day, when David Weeks, the
accomplice of Boinay, took the witness
stand this morning and it is believed
legally placed the halter around his
companions neck. He told all the de-
tails of the crime, corroborating in most
particulars Miss Nichols, the sister cf
the murdered man, whose testimony
was concluded this morning, and
charging Boinay directly with the kill
ing.
Weeks testified that he and Boinay
divided the money in his sisters room
and in her presence. He claims that
his sister did not know where the mon
ey came from and did not ask. His
mother was not there. He stayed in the
house until the Sunday after the crime
and then went to New Haven and Boin-
ay and his sister accompanied him. He
then went to New York and Brooklyn
and into the interior of New York state,
| and after about ten days returned for
brief while and then Boinay and him
self went away again, going as far as
North Easton, Pa, where they commit
| ted a robbery.

LUCIUS TUTTLE'S BILI.
Presents One to Massachusetts Legislature
in Behalf of Boston and Maine.

Boston, Dec. S.-The Boston and
Maine railroad, by Lucius Tuttle, pres
ident, has filed petition with the sec
retary of state for legislation authoriz-
ing it to hold stock of any railroad
corporation whose railroad is leased or
operated by it. This Is similar to the
bill which caused so much interest last
year and which failed of passage after
a great fight, it being understood that
the double tracking Of the Maine Cen
tral road hinged upon its success. 1t
was believed at the time that had the
road asked special legislation like that
now prepared, instead of presenting a
general bill to apply to all railroads, it
would have passed. The Fall River and
Providence Street Railway company
has petitioned for an extension of time
for construction and authority to act as
a common carrier of small parcels.

pnIvArE pApERs 1NV1oLABLE.
Vermont Courts Important Decision-Pa-
pers Not to be Used In Evidence.

pers Not to be Used In Evidence.
Montpelier, VT, Dec. S.-A point of
law passed upon by Chancelors Ross
and Rowell to-day is claimed by legal
practitioners to be the first of it's kind
in the United States and most remarka-
BILE in it's effect on the presentation of
evidence in criminal cases. The chan
cellors refused to dissolve an injunction
secured by an attorney for Mrs. Vivian
Barrett restraining State Attorney Fish
from using, publishing or causing to be
known the contents Of certain docu-
ments, the property Of Mrs Barrett,
now in his possession.
This decision is said to settle the
question that an officer, with or without
search warrant. cannot seize docu-
ments of any individual and use the
same in the court against the will or
the person owning the same, and who
might be the defendant. Mrs. Barrett
| is sister of Dora Cushman, the young
girl who died under peculiar circum-
stances, and for being concerned in her
death several persons are either under
arrest or surveillance. During the girls
| funeral State Attorney Howland search
ed the room of Mrs. Barrett, securing
papers which he turned over to Attor-
ney Fish Mrs. Barrett objects to the
use of those papers, said to contain
damaging evidence against persons sus-
pected of being responsible for Miss
Cushman's death, and which were to be
introduced at Smith Davis trial in the
county court this month.

TRADING STAMPS ILLEGAL
DECISION OF COURT OF APPEALS OF
DISTRICT OF COLOMBIA.

Held to Come Within the Meaning of the
Act of Congress Prohibiting Gift Enter
dent Howe of the Local Merchants As
ISOLATION Says of the Decision.
Washington, Dec. S.-The court of APP
peals Of the District OF Columbia to-
day, in an opinion by Justice Shepard,
held that trading stamps" are Illegal
within the meaning of the act of con-
gress prohibiting lotteries and gift en-
terprises.
The trading-stamp company had ar
rangements with many merchants by
which the stamps We're given to pur-
chasers and when a certain number
We're obtained articles could be obtained
for them at the company's store.
The substance of the contention as set
up in the court of appeals was that the
"chance'' part of the scheme" had been
most cleverly hidden. The attorneys
for the prosecution in the main set forth
the chance scheme as follows: The hold
ers of book must get 999 stamps. II
he gets 99S he fails to secure prize and
the schemers keep both prize and mon
ey. The schemers take the chance that
every one who gets a book will not get
999 stamps. The dealer who gives out
the stamps takes the chance of custom
ers not asking for them. This was the
substance of the contention before the
court of appeals, likewise that 1t is a
gift enterprise.
| A gentleman, speaking last night OF
the trading stamp scheme, said: AN
other source Of profit to the scheme is
that fully third of all the stamps paid
for by the merchants are never turned
in to be redeemed
} President Howe of the Merchants as
ISOLATION, in speaking of the above de-
cision late last night, expressed himself
as being very much gratified that the
merchants of the District of Columbia
had been successful in the prosecution
of the trading stamps concerns. dc
you think this decision will urge the To-
cal merchants on to fighting the STAMP
companies in the courts, as was at first
suggested in the association meetings?
1
49," he said, SHOULD be very glad tc
hear that it did and shall talk the mat
ter up with my attorney tomorrow ant
see if it cannot be done. The question
is whether or not this decision was rem
dered under a law passed by congress
applicable only to the District of Colum
bia or to all of the United States. If i
refers to the latter it will be of mucl
consequence in Connecticut and will M
doubt assist us in our local fight. Th
matter will be definitely settled with III
at the final meeting to be held mex
Monday night"
From his tone it was taken that th
directors to whom the matter was las
Preferred had decided upon a plan of ac
ton which would bring about the desir
ed result.
A Stamford paper last evening says
1.-THE business men of Stamford are ais
up in arms against the trading stamp
and coupons They held meeting an
denounced the scheme as against goo,
business methods. They object to Civ
ing five per cent. of their profits to al
outsider, which they consider the STAN
company. They appointed two commit
tees One will see what the New Have
merchants are doing, and the other wi
see what can be done in Stamford"
