Beaver Falls. Pa... April" 13. A quarrel over a girl away back in the holidays resulted to-night in a boyish niurucrai uarnngion. a village eleven miles from here. Robert Welth and Campbell Harvey are about sixteen years old and membeis of very re spectable families of that place. They both liked the same girl. Yesterday both were at the Darlington Station, on the Pittsburg, Marion and Chicago Railroad, at about 6 o'clock in the evening. Both boarded the Westward train for a short ride. In clambering up the platform Welth jostled against narvey. ine tatter resisted when he was shoved off the train. Harvey then went home and got a cane loaded with lead. About an hour afterwards he met Welth returning lrom his ride and at once attacked him. He hit Welth two blows with the lead above the eyes and one blow on the back of the head. Passers-hy in terfered and Harvey took r.efuge in a store from the angry rowd. Welth did not fall from the blows, but com plained that they made him feel dizzy. He walked home without assistance and immediately went to bed. Before 9 o'clock he became unconscious and although the physicians of the place did everything in their power to arouse him he never spoke again and died this evening at 5 o'clock? The family of Harvey, .who made the as sault, were at the bedside of Welth when he passed away. The doctors say that Wejth died of internal heni orhage. The father of Welth is a can didate for Sheriff in Beaver county. Young Harvey is now "iu custody and is in agony over the result of his as sault. He is generally liked, but has a violent temper.

Certain sportr I - . w . . . ing yacnismen ai Koiisinoutn, wno are ever to the fore, have in contem plation an International yacht race which, by its admirably chosen course from Spithead to the Shambles Light- snip on Portland and back, and by the generous concession to Americans in allowing the free use of the vexed centreDoara, digs lair to rank among the chief events of the year. The Corinthians are in earnest, for. the committee will dispatch before the 19th inst. a cablegram to every Ameri can yacht club announcing the event, which is to take place in August. The yacht racing season will commence on trie 128th of May with the new Thames Channel match to Harwick.- : Great interest is already expressed in the new steel yacht lhistle. which will make her debut on this occasion, and will take part in the Thames, Liverpool and Clyde marches previous to her departure lor America.
