NJ urderer Iollin-pr's Execution.

Harrisburg, June 29--Joseph Holl-
niger will be hanged in the Dauphi1
county jail yard today for the murder
of his wife last August in fit of jeal-
Gus passion. Hollinger all along has
boosted that he would not give Sher-
if Sellers any trouble, as he realized
that the law rrlst be carried out, and
that he was fully prepared to meet his
death. However, the noise of the
scaGold builders was little too much
for his nerves, and at times he was Wis
IDLY affected. He rallied yesterday
afternoon when his daughter called
and said good bye for the last time.
The father expressed regret for what
he had done, and spoke of his son, who
is in the insane asylum, and of his
father, who is confined in the county
home.

The YALr.hARyARD RACES


VARSITY Race.
New London, Conn.,, June29.-Singu-
lar as 1t may seem, there appears to
be perfect Ananimity of feeling at the
Yale and Harvard headquarters as to
the probable outcome Of the three races
which the college crews will row this
evening. Both agree that Yale, bar
ring accidents, has the better chance
in the great varsity race that will be
rowed for four mics down the Thames
just before sundown.
1t Is also admitted by both that thu
Yale freshmen crew will not have the
same advantage over Harvard In the
race of two miles up the river, while
as for the four Dared race between the
varsity substitutes over a two mile
course, after the freshmen race Har-
yard has certainly the preference.
The facilities for viewing the races
this year IRE far better than ever be-
fore. Instead Of one observation train
on the right bank of the river, there
will be long trains on either bank, and
those that take the cars on the left
bank will have an unobstructed view
OF the last two miles of the varsity
race, as we'll as the entire freshmen
race.
Last nights odds on Yale, that were
s to on Tuesday, dropped to to 8
and to 4. 1t appears to be a general
sentiment among the sporting fra
ternity that the Harvard crew has a
dash that may win, in spite of the
long experience and training OF the
eight from Yale.

San Francisco. June 29.-The bodies
of two Japanese sailors of the plague
ship Nippon Maru were found in the
bay yesterday and towed to a point
OF shore by fishermen, who were afraid
to touch the bodies any more than
was necessary to attach rope to
them for towing purposes. The coro-
ner was notified and the bodies were
taken to the morgue, where every pre-
caution is being taken 10 prevent any

bodies. jumped overheard and were

to windward in q stin Breeze.
New London, Conn.,, June 2s.--In q
80 mile beat to windward yesterday
the new yacht Columbia beat the old
cup champion Defender eight minutes
beside giving the old champion two
minute handicap. Yachtsmen from
New York and hereabouts are jubilant
for the yachts sterling qualities must
come cut In race to windward. The
race was from Brenton's reef lightship,
OH Newport, to New London. Thirty
tive miles of the long stretch OF water
was beat to windwRrd. with stiff
breeze blowing. The distance. in
cluding the long t.sat to wtndward, WAS
covered In little over three hours.
Neither yacht carried working top
sail, and 1t was in this kind OF work
that Columbia gained such long lead,
averaging more than q quarter Of y
minute faster each mile than the De-
fender. The water was very rough,
but the new boat rode very easily and
did not buffet the waves as much as
the Defender.
The great white yachts made a splen-
did picture as they raced up the bay,
their enormous sails beiiying out with
the strong breeze from over the quar-
ter and with the water curling away
from their sharp bows.

anchor well out in the stream. The
Defender anchored near her. Both
boats were sailed skillfully. Captain
Charlie Barr was at the Columbia'S
wheel the entire distance, and Cap
tain Rhodes steered the Defender. After
the first ten miles the race was I'M
interesting to watch, for Columbia had
in that short distance worked out into
steadily On the Defender.
While everything was being made
snug aboard the Defender her man
aging owner, W. Butler Duncan, rowed
over to the Columbia and congratu-
lated Mr.. lselin on the splendid show
Ing the new boat had made In the
days racing.
Mr. Iselin and everybody aboard tn
Columbia were delighted at the racer S
great speed. To a press representa-
tive Mr.. Iselin said he had nothing 10
say, except that he was more than
ever satisfied with the boat. He said
he had not figured out how many
minutes he had Leaten the Defender,
but Woodbury. Kane stated that he
thought about eight minutes was near
ly right.

New York, June 29.-The reported

most prominent coal operators in that

that the scLene will be contaminated,
said MI. JeaRs, and the new company
will take cAatsse at once. Bond, to the
amount OF $it,00o,G0O will be issued,
drawing 6 PEI cent and running 50
years, tofether with $40 900 in pref

its attorney, Willard Salisbury,
has refused the offer. Mr.. Sauls-

Thus the hopes Of the residents
over the bridge are frustrated and
they will have to do without rapid

The Police Commission is doing
its work all right, even if they have
been little slow in beginning to
weed out some of the Objectionable
timber that like barnacles had
fastened itself upon the police de-
partment. All officers, irrespective
Of their party affiliations, should be
given to understand that they have
to obey the rules. Politeness should
also be impressed upon their minds.
Then again a change from one dis
trict would not impair the efficiency
Of the force. Officers that are con-
genial should be placed on the same
beat, at night especially, and the
men given to understand that no
baby acts will be tolerated, but will
result in dismissal from the force.
Our citizens can rest assured that
the efficiency of the police force will
not be injured by the two Republi-
can Police Commissioners.
