o'clock this afternoon. The wedding oc
the bicycle track Alderman Wentz of this
city performed the ceremony. Miller had
to be lifted into the box by his trainers, so
overcome was he by his hard work. Mrs
O'Donnell, mother OF the bride, gave Miss
Hanson away. Mrs. Schineer acted as
bridesmaid while Arthur Gardiner of Chi
cago acted as best man. A tremendous
cheer went up from the crowd AS Miller,
now sure winner, and Miss Hanson, were
declared man and wife. To cap the climax
of enthusiasm, Waller went over and kissed
the bride. The race then continued.
Previous to the ceremony Miller put on a
new orange and white racing suit, and en-
livened proceedings by sprinting on various
occasions, closely followed by Waller, Nawn
and Aronson Pierce, who had been OBJ
liged to give up all hope of catching Miller,
maintained his pace. All the competitors
left the track shortly after 3 o'clock to dress
for the wedding.

out, either by themselves on account OF their
lack of staying powers or by the physicians
in attendance.
Miller. however, and Waller and Pierce,
the three men who have been always IN the
lead. have gone steadily along in the heart
breaking race and of all those who finished
they were by far the freshest. Indeed, Mil
ler was in such good condition this after
noon that he was able to appear TO advan-
tage in a wedding ceremony which was per-
formed by one of the city's aldermen, lead
ing Miss, Hanson Of Chicago to the impro-
vised altar in the garden. amid the loud
cheering and boisterous good wishes OF from
seven to ten thousand people who had gath

Miller was miles ahead OF all the others
and thus able to enjoy this little recreation.
Frank Waller OF oBston finished second
in the great race tonight. covering 1887
miles, to the 2O07 travelled by Miller. and
surprising Millers last years record by
nearly two miles. Burns Pierce, the gaunt
Canadian. who until this year has never
been heard of in this country, was third.
He passed the nineteenth century, although
more than hundred miles behind the lead

Pierce had nasty fall early in the game,
and really never recovered his proper form.
OF all the foreigners in the race, the only
two to finish wee Julius and Hale, and
they were so far behind all the others who
finished that this did not count.
Julius was last and Teddy Hale, the Irish
man who, in 1896 won the championship,
was next to last, having just managed to
get over the 1900 miles.
BY winning the six-day race, Miller gets
from the management the sum of $500. and
for breaking the worlds record he gets the
sum of 5000 additional ,and for his public
marriage this afternoon he is said to have

THE BOTKIN CASE
Taken to the Supreme Court on Petit
finn


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l0.-W. l.. Har-
per, of this city, today petitioned the Su-
preme court to rejoin Superior Judge Car;
roll Cook from proceeding with the trial OF
Mrs. Cordelia Rotkin, the accused murderer
of Mrs. John p. Dunnng, of Dover, Del.
The action of Harper was taken to deter
mine the rights of the Superior Court to try
the case in view of the fact that the Supreme
Court refused to extradite Mrs. Botkin. It
has been rumored that the defense would
take some such action in the case after all
the evidence had been introduced and then
to step in and declare that the court lacked
jurisdiction in the case. If the defense
waited until such a stage in the case it would
be after the State had spent more than
$4,000 in the case and it is to prevent this
great expenditure that Harper took the ac-
ton that he did. The case has already cost
the state many thousands of dollars.
1t is not known what action will be taker
