The star horse story was printed recently
by a Havana newspaper under the guise Of
a special from Cleveland. o. The story
reads as follows:
The worlds trotting record was broken
to-day by al Ohio stallion, Cresceus, a
horse which had not been heard from on
the turf. entered to-day at the Addick race
course for the race against time.
He was entered by Harry Mcdonald,
who OWNS a large stock farm near here,
and who has acquired a reputation as a
driver. There were six horses in the race
and all of them made good time.
Mcdonald was the last to enter with his
black stallion, one of the prettiest horses
regular and steady pace and held him down
TO il to the finish. The stallion in the first
lap displayed rare powers as a trotter. He
handled himself gracefully and gave his
driver no trouble.
ITO those who were witnessing the eXhi-
bitiOn it seemed that he was the slowest
horse in the race until at the end of the
sou seconds. The second lap was made in
exactly SO seconds, showing an increase OF
three-fourths second In speed. The excite E
ment was intense, but a bet that the record
would be broken found no takers. At the
end OF the last lap the timekeepers an
nOunced that CTesceus had broken the
worlds trOtting record. Time, 2:02L.
When the horse finished he did not ap-
pear TO be exhausted. In fact, he held his
own against me last lap, and the driver
claimed that he could have done SO for
another mile.
"Mr. NcDOnald has received eongratula-
lions from Mr.. Whitney and a great many
fused no less than one hundred offers for
the horse"

GIRLS LUCKY ESCAPE.
Enticed Into n Resort without Know
ing Its Character.

Fanny Wiley, keeper of a resort at 1Si
South senate avenue and a woman known
as Nellie Schott. or Henderson, or San
ford, Of Louisville, Ky, were arrested yes
terday and charged with the usual Of
lenses made against women Of their kind.
The arrest was due to a complaint that
the trunk of a young woman who went
to the house without knowing it's character
and left upon Tearing what kind Of a place
she was in, was being held without right.
The girl, whose name is withheld, came
from Louisville Thursday with the Schott
woman, whom she said had induced her to
come TO this city to get work. h said
that when they alighted at the Union Sta
ton the Schott woman asked a newsboy
to direct her to 1874 South Senate avenue,
to which place they went. The girl said
the first thing she noticed upon entering
the place was the evening dress" Of the
girls there. She went TO her room and
later refused to don the garb Of the other
girls in the house at the solicitation OF
Fanny Wiley and the woman whom she
all night and left the house the next morn
ing, going to a man with whom she was
acquainted. He said he would supply a
railroad ticket for her TO return TO Louis
Vile and awaiting the time when She
should go she was sent to the Home for
the Friendless. There the story was told
to the matron who told the girl to send
for her trUnk. When delivery of 1T was
refused to the transfer man the police were
advised.
The girl left yesterday afternoon for
Louisville, refusing TO stay and appear
as a witness against the woman under ar
rest, and as there was no way in which shC
could be held the officer could do nothing
but let her go. She claimed to be eighteen
years of age. If she had been younger
a more serious charge would have beer
placed against the two women.

LIVES NEAR w. j. BRYAN.
e. e. Spencer, of Lincoln, Neb., at the
Grand Hotel.

E. E. Spencer, an attorney Of Lincoln,
Neb., who resides within two blocks and a
half of William Jennings Bryan, and who
is acquainted with the Bryan family, is a
guest at the Grand Hotel. MIR. Spencer is
here to take dispositions in a damage suit.
The action is the suit of Sarah White
against the city of Lincoln, and is pending
in the United States Circuit Court for the
district Of Nebraska. In speaking of the
rather peculiar circumstance of Bryan not
carrying his own ward when he ran for the
presidency, Mr.. Spencer said this was an
indication of the s~tanchness of RepUb-
llcan1Sm In Lancaster Ounty the Oun in
which Lincoln is situated. Mr.. Bryan is
now running a periodical called The Com
moner, which is published once a month.
Mr.. Spencer says it is thought that Bryan
is making a success Of the enterprise, since
it is reported that ii has in the neighbour
hood of 1900 subscribers. Mr.. Spencer
says the organs are not what might be
termed society people, but they stand very
high socially. Mr.. Bryan is well like in
Lincoln. His private life is above sus-
piciOn and as a citizen he is held in high
esteem. Mr.. Spencer thinks Bryan has lost
his grip on Nebraska. At the last State
election when a judge Of the Supreme Court
and two regents for the State University
We're elected. the Republicans carried the
State by 1900. Mr.. Bryan took part in
this campaign, but those counties where
he appeared showed as great Republican
gains as other counties.
MIR. Bryan owns a small farm situated
about three miles from Lincoln and is now
having a handsome residence built. 1t viii

pleted the organs expect to move there
