WITXHSSKS SUM 13 WHAT CONFUSBI ) .
Thorium , the Sinn with Many
Is liolil to Aiivir. .
The preliminary hearing of John Thomas ,
alias John Cunningham , alias Charles Clay ,
the alleged lone negro 'burglarwas ' re
sumed In police court yesterday morning.
For the purpose of establishing an alibi the
defense had on hand some eight colored
friends of Thomas' , but after the testimony
of two bad been taken the attorney for the
defense notified the court .that his client
would waive examination and let the case go
before the district court grand Jury. The
two witnesses who were examined testified
that on the night that Thomas was alleged
to have broken Into Attorney Stewart's
hotlso ho was vlsltlns at the home of Mag
Johnson , a colored woman , in South Omaha.
The second witness was somewhat confused
when questioned. When ho took the stand
ho swore ho was 21 years of age , but dur
ing the course of his examination told of
places where ho had lived and the length
of tlmo bo resided at each , and when the
time was footed up by the prosecuting at
torney it showed that the witness must be
at least 40 years old. Judge Aylesworth or
dered that the watch found on Thomas at
the time of his arrest in Omaha beturned
over to Mr. Stewart , It bavins been proven
to the satisfaction of the court that It was
his property , although Thomas still persists
that he purchased the timepiece In New Or
leans and had been wearing It for a year.
Thomas was later removed from the city to
the county jail.
Judge Smith adjourned district court yes
terday morning to Monday on account of the
serious sickness of ono of his children. The
trial of criminal cases will bo resumed Mon.
day morning.
The ruling of Judge Thoraell In the suit
of H. L. Henry against F. J. Day , adminis
trator of the estate of George Metcalf , de
ceased , was received hero yesterday. Judge
Thornell rules that the claim of Henry be
considered as a fourth-class claim against
the estate , notwithstanding the fact that it
was not filed within- the time required by
law. The Judge expressly states in his
order that the ruling Is not to < be construed
as meaning the ordering of the payment of
the claim , but simply to permit It to be
considered as a claim of the fourth class
against the estate. Captain Henry held a
promlsory note , which , with Interest , now
amounts to $1,393 , signed by the late George
Metcalf , and sought to have it entered as
a claim against the estate , he having failed
to file it in the required time , because , as
he alleged , that Day had told him it would
be useless to do so , as there were no visible
assets belonging to the estate. It developed
Inter that there was property belonging to
the estate and this fact becoming Known to
Henry , he sought to liavo his claim ad
mitted.

PRINCETON , N. J. , May 20. Princeton
won this afternoon in the dual mc-et wltli
Columbia by a score of ol 1-G to 4258. The
agreement limited events to three men on a

wind blowing nearly straight up the track
nnd fast time wjs out of the question. The
day was cold ; the attendance wnall.
The Uncst race from the spectator's stand
point was the mile run. Six men started
and ran tandem for a lap. Mosenthal of
Columbia then forged ahead of the line.
Two men drowned out In the lost lap and
the four wers In a bunch. At this point
Crown shot ahead of Mosenthal , with
Thurston in third place and Chamberlain
rlt'.ht behind him. This Is exactly how the
four men finished , except that in the last
quarter Chamberlain , by hard sprinting ,
beat out Thurston for third place.

( Copyright , 1S99 , by Associated Press. )
LONDON , May 20. Thi > steamer Paris ,
which sail * from New York today from
Southamaton , takes a challenge from Ox
ford and Cambridge universities to the uni
versities of Yale and Harvard for an
athletic contest , to taue piaco on me grounu
of the Queen's c'.ub , London , during the
last week In July. The program consists
of the following events : One-hundrpd-yard
dash , 120-yard hurdle race , quarter-mile run ,
half milo run , one mile run , three mile run ,
'hammer ' throwing , high jump and long
This Is the regular Oxford and Cambridge
program , with a half-mile run substituted
for putting the weght , to the new rules of
which event the English university men are
not yet accustomed. The challenge rigidly
Insists that every American opponent must ,
like themselves , be absolutely a student and
absolutely an amatmr athlete.
l-'rom communications already exchanged
between the representatives of Oxford and
Cambridge nnd parties in America , there
Is little doubt that the challenge will be ac
cepted The meeting wlK be a great attrac
tion lit the rlose of the London season , more
especially If the presence of the prince of
Wales , Unted States Ambassador Choate
and Ixml Hosebery Is secured , as Is al
ready stated to be the case.
The university members who have the
matter chiefly at heart , Including members
of both teams , are anxious for the match.
They feel that the proposal sent to the
United States Is a very sportsmanlike offer
and they are confident It will be welcome.
The Enellshmen point out that so far us
the Americans are concerned , they know
their own strength and the strength of
their rivals , a" revealed by the Oxford and
Cambridge .sports In March , but that they ,
the cha'.lengers , ore Ignorant of what their
opponents may have succeedojl In accom
plishing In Intercollegiate pjiorti. This ,
they say , bodes nothing but good , and a
most genuine match , with the most genuine
desire that the best side will. win.

MITCHELL , S. D. . May 20.-Spoclal ( Tele
gram. ) By roas oii of a decision made by the
executive board of th ? Interco'leglato
Athletic association the State university of
Vermilion was deprived of honors won dur
ing t.he . athletic contests yesterday. The
board met today to act on the protest.
Sullivan of Yankton filed two nllldavlts ,
charging the Burkland brothers , Wellnnd ,
Johncon nnd Jordan of Vermilion with hav-
liw violated ono of the rules of the asso
ciation , that of participating In and com
peting for cash prizes. Sullivan stated that
these five participated In the races of the
flrfiiicn's tournament with the Yankton de
partment last year and at that time he said
were warned not to engage In the contest ,
as the matter would bo brought up before
the association this year. The. Vermilion
boys admitted the truth of the ntlldnvlte
and they wcro dlrquaMflc-d , thus relieving
them of the victory earned. Yankton was
awarded the cup nnd Mitchell given second
place. When the decision was rendered the
three Vermilion delegates left the conven
tion and made the statement that the State
university would withdraw from the asso
ciation.
