Nice, March 29.—The Britannia was beaten today over a triangular course of thirty miles with eight turns, by the Aiisa in a piping breeze through wliite- eapj.od seas. The Britannia had bad luck otherwise the result might have been different. The race was for prizes offered by •fames Gordon Bennett, a cup valued at 500 pounds aud a purse of 500 eov- et'ei_: s. The yachts approached the line with top masts housed. The Britannia had a reef in her main sail and carried stay sail and a small jib. The Aiisa being somewhat tender had her main sail double reefed, but carried the same sails as her opponent. The wind was from the southwest. It was a (lying start. The Aiisa was handled more cleverly than the Britan¬ nia and got the weather gauge on her, and crossed the line on a close reef. The Aiisa had 30 seconds the best of the start and kept ahead throughout. Oil the second round while running be¬ fore the wind the Britannia's spinnaker eilyarde parted and the big sail was carried away. By an accident in the first, round the Britannia also lost a little time to her rival by the parting of her. jib halyards. This occurred while she was working to winwanl. The last part of the race, the wind moderated somewhat and shifted to the South. In the final leg to the home mark the. Aiisa maintained her lead, which was partly due to the tnlsliaiis of the Britannia, but did not gain any. The Aiisa van¬ quished the Britannia without taking in¬ to consideration time allowance by two minutes and seven seconds. HIGHER PniCES FOR PIG IKON.

An Imiuest Will Prolmlily lie Held This Morning. Washington, D. O., March 2t>.—Geo. D. Bahau, the foot ball player of the Georgetown University of Washington, D. C., who was injured last Thanks¬ giving day in a game between the Uni¬ versity and the Columbia Athletic Olub, died shortly before uoou today at the Emergency Hospital in this city, where he has been receiving medical attention since his injuries. Bnhan was ID years of age, and was born in lllchmond, where his parents reside. His father and mother were at his bedside when he died. It was in the foot ball game between elevens from the Georgetown University, and the Columbia Athletic Club on Thanks¬ giving day, Nov. 29 last that young Bahau received the injuries which re¬ sulted in liis death. The play through¬ out was characteristic of rough and harsh exchangee, aud a number of men on both sides were more or less injured and bruised. Young Balian was play¬ ing half back for Georgetown, and he met with liis mishap in the middle of the first half. Bahan’s play was to in¬ terfere with Leete while Mahoney had the ball, and this he was doing to per¬ fection. Bahen made a rush and as he did so he received a blow from a Colum¬ bia adherent, which felled him to the ground. Before he could recover from the shock and regain his feet he was trampled upon by the excited players and received the full force of numerous kicks. lu the struggle, Mahoney had an ankle sprained, but he stuck nwtn- fully to his post and was laid up for several days afterwards. Bahen was carried from the field to the university, whence he was afterwards removed to the Emergency Hospital. On examination it was found that the fourth vertebrae was shattered, and as a result the entire -Isidy below that joint became paralyzed. There were several bad bruises on several parts of his body, and liis scalp was torn in several places. After being in the hospital for some days, the operation of laminactomy was performed with such success that the pa¬ ralysis was partly removed:. Ever since that memorable thanksgiving, the young student lias been bedridden, but he with¬ stood liis position with commendable for¬ titude and Christian resignation. His Splendid physical condition served to pro¬ long his life, but he slowly faded away. Everything that medical science could suggest had been done for him up to the very last end, together with the kind offices of a loving mother, an indulgent father and attentive nurses, the declin¬ ing days of the unfortunate young man were made as comfortable as the cir¬ cumstances would permit. Deputy Coroner Glaze brook called at the hospital as soon as the death was reported to him. In all probability an inquest will be held torrow morning. RIG HLA7.E IN MILWAUKEE. Library, Y. M. C.

The building in wihidli the fire origi¬ nated was occupied by the A. N. Tan¬ ner Furniture Company, and Landauer & Co., dry goods, is a total loss. Be¬ fore the fire department -arrived on the scene the block was one mass of flames, and about ten minutes after the alarm was turned In the walls fell with a big crash. Just east of the Tanner store is the clothing house of Barling & Wil- mnt. which is also a total loss. The flames soon jumped across Grand avenue and caught a row of wooden tenement bouses, so that the firemen and policemen yiliith difficulty saved the occu¬ pants. The heat was so intense that the building of the Y. M. O. A., on the outside of Fourth street, caught, also the cornice of the library. At the Davidson and the Schlitz hotels the guests were called out, as there was danger that the flames would spread to the section where the ho_U.*!s are located.

All Kentucky In TnlklnK mill Uno„- liiHr About It. Louisville. March 2ti- The report that Miss Julia Stevenson, the eldest daughter of the Vice President is to he married to Mr. Martin L). Hardin of llorrnds- btirg, Ky„ lias been pleasantly discussed m Kentucky society for the lusl three weeks. The announcement of the en¬ gagement was not authorized by the families, and it is sure that they did not intend to let it bo known, hut no one tins denied it. Intimate friends of both have no doubt that the report is trtio. but It is not likely that an authoritative statement of the time and place of the marriage will be made known before the period of mourning for Miss Mary Stev* ensoii sliaM have elapsed. The match would lie a suitable one in ail respects. Mr. Hardin is the eldest son of the lion. Parker Hardin, for 12 yearn Attorney General of Kentucky, and now a leading candid iate for the Democratic, nomination for Governor. "Wat" Hardin is one of the best-known politicians in tin' State, and is an old friend of Mr. Stevenson’s. Both were educated at Center College, Danville, where the Vice President and his family nave been visiting wealthy until this week. Ml\ Hardin is a man, and bis son, Martin, lias brilliant prospects. Martin was graduated from Center College two years ago, then read law with liis fa¬ ther- He prepared to come to Louisville to open ’an office, when he been,me im- pressed with the idea that he must enter the ministry. Without, hesitation lie gave up his brilliant prospects, and, re¬ turning to Danville, matriculated u.s a student of the Presbyterian 'rheological ology Seminary. He lias been studying the¬ for a year now, and it. will take him two years longer to complete his course. The ex-Alternoy General is not infer speaker, ior, to Senator Blackburn inherited as a stump and bis son has liis oratorical talents. While a student at Center College two years ago he won the intercollegiate medal for the Stale. He was elected as the representative of Kentucky in the interstate eolli giate ora¬ torical contest at Charleston wo years ago. There were contestanti from nine Southern States, lmt young Hardin was an easy winner again- lie has such a reputation as an elocutionist that ho teaches tin art in Center College. But the young man is famous in quite another direction. He was one of fine best aitheletes In the State or in the South, and made a great reputation as a football player two yearn ago. At that time the Center College team was under the direction of G. O. Berry, a physical director from Yale- ..Martin Hardin was u plucky member of the team, and ids bold popular and skilful playing won him more de¬ favor than liiH abilities as a bater. The liardiius are a family of lawyers. "Mat” Hardin ban two bro¬ thels, Charles, who has been a circuit judge many years, and Ben Lee Hardin, a corporation lawyer and lobbyist. The most famoue one of the family was Beil Hardin, who was Congressman and Sec¬ retary of the State for many years, He vvias a good lawyer and a savage and unsparing witness examiner. Miss Julia is the eldest of the Stevenson sisters. She has her father's charm and manner and is handsome, bright and popular. She is a Imrnotte, and like her father, is tall and slim. She is just a little bit taller than Mr. Hardin, who comes of a stalwart family, but is himself under medium size. She first met. him two years ago on a visit here with her pa¬ rents aud they have boon sweethearts for a year. The Stevensons are frequent visitors at Danville. During their slay hen- they are usually the guest of Thomas M. Green, who occupies a house in which the Vice President boarded when a stu¬ dent at old Center. Mrs. Stevenson was then a very young girl, but as slie was the daughter of Prof. \V. E. Green, once president of the college, she was well known to the students. She and .Villai Stevenson were soon sweethearts, and in time they were married- It is very agreeable to them, therefore, that their daughter should find a husband in I he sarnie town, especially so eligible u young man is she has chosen. ON ONE TICKET ONLY. Michigan A n ft- Fnsoii Act Is. Ile- rliiml ConAlll u Ilona I. Lansing, Mich., March 26.—The Michi¬ gan Supreme Court has decided that the “anti-fusion” act passed by the present Legislature Is valid. The act provided that a candidate for an office, where he received the nomination from more than one party should elect before a given date on which ticket ho would run. Falling to do tills his name would be placed on the first ticket certified to, but in no case could said candidate’s name appear more than once on the official ballot. To test the constitutionality oif tho act A. M. Todd, who was nominated for Congress in the Third district Ly three different conventions, asked the Supreme Court for a mandamus to com¬ pel tho election commissioners of Kala¬ mazoo county to put his name on the official ballot Iri three places, he being tho nominee of the Populists, Free Sil- voritos and Prohibitionists. The Su¬ preme Court today affirmed the constitu¬ tionality of llie act, hut held that as the time limit in which Todd could have made his selection expired, without giv¬ ing him an opportunity of electing on which ticket he should run, the manda¬ mus prayed for in his case, was granted.
