Promise of Wood Wind

Out.
Special to Journal.
Naw Yokk. October 7. Tbe wind was
blowing twelve miles an hour at Sandy
Hook, with clear, bright akies, and the
chances of a race were good, when the
preparatory gun was fired at 11 05. At
it.U tbe werniac whistle oathe Judge's
boat was blown and at 11 90 the starting
gua was fired aud the Shamrock and
Columbia started. on a race which proved
a fizzle, the third successive failure of
the week.
The Columbia crossed the line at 11.11-
08 and the Shamrock at 11.21 19. The
Columbia was al the east end of the
line and the Shamrock at the west end.
The wind dropped to ten miles au hour
soon after the start. The Shamrock had
considerable trouble with iter topsail
early In the race.
Shortly after tbe start, at 1132 the
Shamrock took tbe wind from the Col una
bla's sails and passed her. At this time
an accident occurred among tbe accom
panying fleet of steamers. Tbe steamer
Cambridge attempted to cross the bow
of the steamer Tonce. There was a col
lision and tbe Ponce had a bole stovo in
her bow.
Al the end of the first hour the two
racers were abeam. The win I was verj
light and gradually the Shamrock drew
ahead of her rival aud obtained a little
lead. On nearing the stake boil, or
outer mark, 1 lie Shamrock changed her
course and passed the mark 0 seconds
ahead of the defender of the cup. The
official lime for rounding the outer mark,
fifteen miles from start, was 1.39 23 for
the Shamrock and 1 36-31 for the Col inn
bla. The reports sent out were very
conflicting, Ihe yaculs being close to
gether and either one appearing ahead
according to the angle at which the ob
server was placed.
After turning the stake boat it was re
ported that the Irish yacht outpoiuled
the American boat in beating up against
the wind, but the yachts appeared to be
close together, each in turn taking the
lead.
At 3 02 the yachts were still eight
miles from the Sandy Hook lightship.
rhe contest was so close that it seemed
that tbe result would depend on the
closest maneuvering and on obtaining
the windward position. Al the time the
Columbia beiran to gain sli btly on her
opponent.
The race was sailed for the limit of
time given, 51 hours. The time limit
expired for thj ColuraMn at 4.S1-02 and
tor the Shamrock al 4..'1 ID. When the
ace was declared on. the yachts were
about one mile south of Ibe finish line
I'he Columbia had a lead of about 300
vardB snd in addition had the weather
berth.
Experts say that Ihe races should
start al seven o clock tu Ihe morning,
when there U more chauce of tuo wind

bandied. But there was not much to
choose as the racers kept close together
during the run.

Awful Scenes During: The Yacht
Race on The Georgiana.
Eight Haadred Persons Are V.a
gaged or Witness a Fierce
Struggle. Presence of U amb
lers Tbe Reason. Many
Arrested.
Special to Journal:
Nhw Yokk, Oct. 7. Tlisre was a fierce
riot dnring the yacht race loday, on
board the steamer Oeorgiana. About
eight hundred persons were aboard at
the time. A number of men received
Uete on the head and face. Tbe paasen
gdrs became angry over being fleeced, as
all kinds of gambling games and a gang
of blacklegs are said lo have chartered
tbe boat. These men came from Phila
delphia and were led it is alleged by a
man named Torbington.
Off Liberty light before tbe scene of
the yacht race was reached many pas
sengers were rebbed by trickery. Cap
tain Heury, of tbe Oeorgiana, announced
that owing lo the condition of the en
gines and boilers the beat would have to
return at once to tbe cily. There bad
Ixen some fighting previous lo this be
cause of the loss of money among those
on board, but with this announcement
rioting began. !
The passenger had paid one dollar
apiece, a few, more than that, lo see the
tbe races and demanded that the boat pro
ceed. The captain refused. Tbe angry
passengers at once gave vent to their
wrath. Some made for the captain, who
ran and hid in the coal bunkers. Others
charged on the gamblers and seized their
paraphernalia. The black legs ran down
into the engine room to hide, lighting
those who attempted to obstruct their
way. Faro, Koulette and the chuck a
luck ly outs were thrown over board and
the tables upon'wnlch the games had been
conducted on the lower deck were alBo
cast into the sea. The passengers became
enraged and decided to take things into
their own hands.
Captain Norton, wearing his G. A. I
badge, gathered eight determined men
and bunted up the captain of the steam
er. They threatened to throw him over
board if they found him but be kept
safely out of sight. Then Captain Nor
top and his next officer in command
made him Hy the flag union down as a
signal of distress. Tbe Georgiana then
turned around and was broueht back to
the cily as it was too late for the passcn
gers to see the yacht race except the
finish. All way back the lower deck was
a scene of Agbt after light. A number
of women were on board. Screams of
terror added lo the uproar and many
fainted.
The gamblers knowing that the sig
nals of distress would be seen by the po
lice, tried to take down the flags as the
boat ncared Governors Island. This
was the cause of the fiercest tight of all.
With fists, canes snd chairs, morton and
his men fought the gamblers. Many
painfull cuts and bruises were received,
but the black legs were driven back and
the distress ensigns stayed up and they
elso did the work intended.
From Ibe pier, twenty-five policemen
went to the rescue, belag taken on the
tax Edward B. King. After the police
men had boarded lue steamboat, Capl
Allaire ordered the vessel to proceed to
pier six, North river. Thirty-six prison
en were taken to the station house in
New York.

Interesting Case of a Soldier Boy
Who Marries.
The tees For Solicitors. Janla
Says So. Brick Making is Prollt
I able. The Craig Law Holds
Water.
Rai.eii.ii, Ocrober 9 Lieutenant Set
tle, l S. A., recruiting officer for North
Carolina, says Lieutenant Harden, of th
Forty sixth Hegiment, will leave Char
lotte next Monday for South Framlng
ton, Mass., with 10 meu. One of his re
cruits is dropped for having testified
when enlisting that be was unmarried, it
being found that he has a wife and chll
dren.
Lieutenant. Settle tells of au interest
ing case along tbe same line. Fletcher
Barrow, who was in Company K of the
First Hegiment, in service last year, en
listed aain September HOth at Greens
boro, Haw River being his home. Octo
ber 2d he got leave to go home, aa he
said, lo get his uniform. But instead
married. He waj fully aware of the fact
that be had no authority to marry. The
first known of the marriage was the ap
pearance of his wife, a very pretty girl
of 17. He bad as soon as he was mar
ried run away and left lier. She told
Lieutenant Settle she wan fatherless and
had no other support than her husband
She diil not raise any row, but simply
said t-lic would not ivc him up. Barlow
is a pretty bad boy, and the Adjutant
General of the army is asked what sort
of an example shall l)C made of him He
was a nood soldier last year, and is a
man of intelligence.
Several solicitors have asked whether
under the law they arc not entitled to
fees for attending civil terms of the Su
pcrior Court. Audilcr Ayer preferred
tbe matter to Attorncv (o ncral Walser
who today gave his opinion, holding that
they are entitled to $20 for each civil
term; that section MS of the Code re
quires them to inspect the olllcc ol clerk
of the Superior Couit at each regular
term, failure to do so beim; punished by
a penalty of $"00. The act was ratified
In IN?!) and at that time there were no
civil terms as distinct from criminal
terms.
Shaw University, colored, opens with
280 boarding students. President Me
serve says this breaks the record at the
opening.
Ex-Governor .Tarvis is here and says
he feels sure the constitutional amend
ment will be ratified by a handsome ma
jority.
It is strange that so little attention is
paid lo brick making in this State. It Is
said hero that the clay is worth more
than the timber which grows abve it
and in which the trade is so important.
The methods in vogue are primitive.
An It-diana brick maker says it costs
him only 70 cents a thousand lo turn out
brick.
There are now six unattached compa
nies in the Stale Guard. Il is thought
thai the location of these will be set
tied; that three or four will be assigned
lo regiments and two or three disban
ded. Judge Brown, of the Superior Court,
has rendered a decision on the im
portant cape in which the Westorn
Union Telegraph Company sought to re
move a suit iu which tbe amount In
volved was over $2,000, contending that
tbe Craig domestication law did not ap
ply in such a case. Judge Brown holds
that the law had the effect of making a
domestic corpora:ion out of a foreign
one and that the company cannot remove
a case from Ibe Stale to the Federal
Court on account of diversity of citizen
ship. The company appealed to the
State Supreme Court and will naturally,
if the decision be adverse, take the case
still further
Judge Purnell has discharged from the
penitentiary, Joseph Bets and Hud Kar

who were sentenced to Ihe penitentiary

MiNn a, October 8 Agnlnaldo, in a
proclamation announcing the release of
American prisoners and authorizing
Filipino soldiers In the northern province

"In America there Is a great party tbat

Throughout tbe proclamation Aguin
aldo denounces "the imperialists" In
stead of "the Americans," a in former
documents. He calls tbe world to wit
ness that the Filipino have not broken
-'the alliance made with the Americans
through Admiral Dewey and the United
States Consuls t Hongkong snd Singa

prisoners, cried out:
We do not want war against the
United States. We only defend our 1 i-
dependence against the imperial sis.
The sons of that mighty nation are our
friends and brothers."
WAITING ON THE BORDER.
British and Boers Close to Each Other.
Parliament Will Return.
Londos, Oct. 8. Whatever may be
the result of Great Britain's controversy
with the South African Republic, every
department of the Government today is
as busy as if actual hostilities had be
gun.
At Woolwich it is said that Do per
cent, of the reserves will lie fully equip
ped within six days. In the meantime
the members of Parliament are arranging
to return to London.
Tbe most important news from South
Africa comes from Mafeklng, where
twice en Saturday ihe British camp was
aroused, tbe men stood to their arms,
guns were limbered and patrols were
dispatched in the direction of the border
No hostilities have occurred as yet, but
the Boers have moved practically to the
border, 8 miles from Mafeklng, iu force
estimated at least (i,000, comprising five
commands. The garrisoning and fortify
ing of the town arc practically com
pleted. The streets are barricaded and a
system of mines has been laid.
Two armored trains have arrived al
Mafeklng, consisting of three bullet
proof cars, the first of which carries a
searchlight, while tbe sides of tbe other
cars are loop holed. Each train is com
plete in Itself and carries its own pro
visions.
Experiments with lyddite in the mines
preve that it is an extremely powerful
eiploiive.
"If you scour the world you will never
find a remedy equal lo One Minute
