FRIDAY.

The John H. Tanner larceny
case has occupied the attention OF
the court without interruption
since yesterday noon. The evi-
dence was completed this morning,
and the courts charge to the jury
given before adjournment for din
ner today. This afternoon the at
torneys are presenting the case to
the jury. Each side was given an
hour and a half-three hours in
all. The case will not go to the
jury much before 3 o'clock. John
H. Tanner, the accused, is large,
fine looking young man, rather
fieshy, and sits with his attorneys
and hold his head up. and appears
satisfied with the progress of his
trial. His wife and two or three
lady friends are in the court room
watching the trial, as is also his
brother-in-law, Mr.. ]. F. Flippin,
and other friends. The defense
evidently rely upon establishing
an alibi, and for that purpose in
troduced the bulk of their testi-
mony. District Attorney Soper
and Judge Stuart are making the
argument for the prosecution, and
Mellette and Smith for the defense,
and are occupying the full time
allowed by the court-three hours.

WITH HORSES AND H0RSEMEN
Death of JOhnstOn Removes the I'M
beaten Champion of the High
Wheeled Sulky.

Johnston, 2:0GA, the first harness horse to
cover a mile in 210, as put to death few
days ago at Buffalo, where he was owned by
Charles F. Dunbar. The great PAGER was q
years old and had outlivei his usefulness, al
though his wealthy owner campaigned him
successfully at the minor meetings only
three years ago. 1t has been we'll said that
no other PAGER ever outclassed the best
ones in training as Johnston outclassed ali
the other PAGERS OF his day. John Splan
drove him to his record on the oval track
OF the old Chicago Driving park in 1884,
when no other PAGER had beaten 2:11N.
This mark stood unequalled until 1891.
when Direct lowered it a quarter Of Sec
ond. but the latter's performance was made
on the kite-shaped track at Independence,
which was accounted two or three seconds
faster than the oval course on which John
ston paced his mile in 2;06A. To this day
no PAGER has ever equalled Johnst ms record
10 high wheel sulky on an oval track. Such
late-day champions as Star Pointer, John r.
Gentry and Joe Patchen have tried repeat
epy to do the trick, but they always failed.
and Joe Patchen at least received an ad-
vantage OF ball-bearing axle In the sulky
when he made his trials.
Johnston was small horse not very
strong Of physique or stout OF heart, and
experts say that the light-running pneu-
matte sulky would have benefited him moro
than any other PAGER that has held the
worlds record. He was bay gelding. foaled
In 1877 at Berlin. Wis. and was bred by
James and Richard Carey. His sire, Bashaw
Golddust, afterward called Joe Bassett. was
a horse Of obscure breeding, remotely de-
scended from Heinsohn's Pilot the grand
sire OF the dam Of Maud s, 2:0s%. and from
Dorsey's Golddust. Johnst' ms dam was by
Swetting's Ned Forrest, said to be a son
OF Brannock's Ned Forrest, the sire Of Rob-
ert Bonner's noted trotter Edwin Forrest

PAGER as Charley NJ in his hrst race at De-

ston gained a record OF 2:l0 in his nrsi
campaign and was sold during the season
for $20, 900 to Commodore N. w. Kittson OF
ST. Paul. who owned him In his best days.

have continued the game with the advantage
decidedly In his favor. His postal bearing

referee. reads p to @ s. however. and no
more fatal move Of course could have been
made The game is accordingly forfeited to
Nelson.
Hartzell has filed q counter charge TO the
effect that he should be declared winner for
the reason that Nelson on several occasions
consumed more than seventy-two hours the
period mentioned in the rules, In making
reply. No proof or specific instances are
given. however, and the case therefore Is
incomplete. Nelson lives in the country
and his mails are accordingly delayed, 30
that there would be an added difIlculty in
proving that more than the prescribed time
had elapsed between receiving and posting
replies" The additional point is brought
out by Mr.. Nelson that the claim regarding
time should have been made at the date the
offense was alleged to have been COM
mitted. 7t
T. N. Hartzell Is one OF the strongest
players in the association and 1t Is not
probable that the loss Of the game will
seriously cripple his score Other games

In a collection Of "reminiscences Of Glad
stone by an English correspondent to "To-
day. there is an interesting anecdote Of his
method Of playing whist. The Inference
from his account would be that he would
be a most undesirable partner to one accus-
toned to observe the rules OF the game. The
correspondent writes as follows:
while at Brechin castle Mr.. Gladstone
played two or three rubbers OF whist each
evening. played against him the first even
ing. when Lady Dalhousie was his partner,
and the second evening with him. The same
trait was evident whether you were partner
or adversary. He played his own hand with
very little regard TO his partners. Whist
was not a game he cared much for or played
often. but when he played 1t he gave his
whole mind to the game as to anything else
which he undertook. His play was anything
but orthodox. OF rules he took little heed,
and he did things which would have scan
dalized 'Cavendish' or Clay. 1t was evident
that he thought out his whist as he went
along. constructed, or reconstructed, the
science OF the game for himself; never led
card without a clear reason in his own mind
for leading 1t; never forgot a card; took no
chances; trumped all doubtful tricks.

We were shown the other day a
package of sample goods manufactured
by the Spartan Mills and finished up
by the bleaching and dyeing establish
ments of the North. Without occular
demonstration we should have been
slow to believe that the plain white
goods manufactured by the Spartan
Mills could be so manipulated as to be
converted into such variety of cotton
goods. Some of these samples were
soft like wool, and others we're slick
and shiny like silk, while there were
many varieties of color, ranging
through the different tints and shades
of pink, purple, brown and blue. On
close inspection some Of the samples
seemed actually to be of different tex
ture from others, though we were ia
formed that they were all the products
of one grade Of goods manufactured
by the Spartan Mills. We used to
wonder what became of all the white
cloth turned out by the cotton mills.
It is a mystery no longer.-Gafney
