Miller Wins the Long
New York Contest.
■yiFTEEN THOUSAND SEE FINISH
Thicngoan Complete* Hi* Heartbreaking
Hide In Fairly Good Condition—l'he
Wilke*barre Boy, Hie*, Comes *ec»nd
and Fred Schiuneer third All Previous
JReourds For Six Daye Altered.
New York, Dec. 11.—Charles Miller
xtf Chicago, the "Flying Dutchman,”
won the 'big six-day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden. He rode over
8,100 miles in the 144 hours, breaking
all previous records for such a contest.
Rice, the Wilkesbarre boy, was second,
Schinneer third, Hale fourth and Wal
ler fifth.
Miller completed his long ride in fairly
■ good shape. Fifteen thousand people
saw the finish.
When the last day of the great race
opened Miller appeared a sure winner.
Try as they would Miller’s pursuers
were unable to cut down his lead. Now
when the finish was almost in sight they
could only hope that chance would ac
complish for them what energy and en
durance failed to achieve.
A leerd struggle was in progress
‘■through the night and the early morn
ing for second place. Rice, the Wilkes
barre boy, despite the fact that he has
been in great pain and by no means
himself the last 24 hours, rode on, with
Schinneer pursuing him like a shadow.
Between 4 and 0 am. Rice and Schin
neer collided. Both fell from their
wheels, but neither was seriously hurt.
. About an hour later the two men stopped
once more and it looked as if neither of
them could continue.
The trainers and the crowd rushed
■ toward the rail where the two men lay.
' The trainers had to fight their way
through to get- to their men. They
placed the riuers on their wheels and
again started them on their way. A few
minutes later Rice slid off his wheel and
; rolled down the incline.crashing into En
terman’s wheel. Entermau was thrown
headlong. Rice’s wheel was bent and
broken, but another was quickly pro
' cured and the Wilkesbarre boy, with
an idiotic stare in his drawn face, wob
bled around the track once more. After
Schinneer and Rice had one more fall
they were dragged from the track and
. given a short rest.
Hale, who had been gradually gain
: ing upon Schinneer, was in good shape.
The winner of last year’s contest showed
few signs of the strain which he had
' undergone.
As the hours dragged slowly on and
the haggard riders neared their goal,
their mental condition became worse.
Rice was raving nearly all the time.
He thought he had lost his eyes. He
grew angry with his trainers because
they would not give him tissue paper to
fill ud the eye sockets. A little later
Rice was convinced that Teddy Hale
was the only friend he had in the
world. His pleading with Hale not to
. leave him was piteous.
Waller exhibited the spasmodic en
ergy which characterized bis riding
when he was in the lead. He was evi
dently making a desperate effort to
overhaul Hale and appeared to be in ex-
■ cellent condition. Hale kept up his
steady pace and took things quite cool.
Miller, on his wheel, seemed as strong
as ever, and his mental condition was
not nearly so bad as many of those who
followed 100 miles behind him. But off
his wheel he was as weak as a little
• child. He had to be lifted from his sad
dle and could not stand without sup ■
port. The transformation which always
accompanied his remounting was mar
vellous.
About 11 o’clock Rice confided to his
trainer that one side of his head was
' coming off. He insisted that he would
lose it, so a large bandage was tied
around his head and he was satisfied.
MORE LIGHT ON MURDER.
Considered Certain That the Slayer of
Colonel Clayton Is a Georgia Convict.
Little Rock, Dec. 11.—A law firm in
Rome, Ga., writes the chief of police of
this city, saying that the man now in a
Georgia convict camp suspected of hav
ing murdered Colonel John M. Clayton,
in Arkansas, in 1688, is undoubtedly
guilty of the crime. They say that he
divulged his Arkansas troubles to them
at the time they were defending him
for the infraction for which he is now in
the Georgia penitentiary. an;] that the*

viction as soon as his time expires in
that state. Their names are not given
for prudential reasons.
Governor Jones says be will have a
man at the Georgia prison to place the
unknown under arrest as soon as his
time is up. His name is known to the
Arkansas authorities, but it is withheld,
It is stated that it is a former citizen
of Arkansas, who fied from the state
immediately after murdering Clayton.
At the time the murder was committed
it was generally considered to be the
denouement of a political fight, but ac
cording to the confession politics played
no part in the terrible affair, revenge
for an old grudge being the motive
given by the Georgia convict.

JAILED ON GRAVE CHARGE.
Charlotte Negro I. Said to Have Murdered
His Cumpfintoa.
Charlotte, N. 0.. Dec. 11.—Officer
J. W. Auten has arrested Edward Wil
son, a negro, who is chai god with the
murder of Chas. Gilmer, another negro.
It seems that Wilson and Gilmer en
gaged in an affray several days ago and
Gilmer was so seriously injured that
death followed as a result of his injuries.
A warrant was issued for Wilsou and
he was brought to the city and placed
in jail.
Dr. O. M. Strong, the county physi
cian, was notified and an autopsy was
held. He thinks that the direct cause
of Gilmer’s death was pneumonia.
Wilson will, however, be kept in jail
until the matter is sifted through. He
does not deny having an altercation
with Gilmer, but does deny that he
used anything but his fist. If he is not
responsible for the death of Gilmer ) >
will be neld for an assault and the
costs in the case.

Under a Countable** Surveillance.
Columbia, S. 0., Dec. 11.—At a meet

the profits going to Sumter from the
dispensary were discontinued, and Gov
ernor Ellerbe, at the request of the
board, has announced that he will place
a constable there to be paid out of the
profits withheld from Sumter. The
cause of the trouble was in the follow
ing letter from the dispensary officials
ut that place to the board of control:
"The county board of control of Sum
ter county request that the share of net
profits from the dispensary be not paid
to the city, but that a constable be em
ployed to suppress the illicit sai*f of
whisky here. The city council has
rented a score to an O. P. dealer.”

Washington, Dec. 11.—Ex-Governor
Hoadley, special government counsel in
the Pacific railroad cases, has arrived
here on his way to St. Louis, where h«
will make an argument Monday before
Judge Sanborn in support of the gov
ernment's motion for a postponement o£
the Kansas Pacific sale.
Up to this time the reorganization
committee has submitted no proposition
since the early one of $2,500,060 for the
government’s interest, nor is it known
whether they will oppose the motion
for a postponement.
Neither is it known whether the
committee has yet qualified as a bidder,
but as this is the last day, under the de
cree of the court, on which they can
qualify, it is settled that they have al
ready done so.
Ex-Governor Hoadley had a long in
