THE SCOTCH CUTTER.
THE THISTLE DOCKED fAKD HEB
MEASURE TAKEN BY MB. UTTStiOP:

Oh WImb OtbrwUe.
' . By Telegraph to Tbb Cbbomicijl .
New York, Sept. ! 21 The Scotch
Thistle was docked at the Erie basin
Dry Dock this rooming. . This mora
ing Mr. Hyslop, measurerr of - tbe
New York yacht club, made outboard
and inboard ' measurements of the
Thistle while the water ; was being
pumped out of the dock. Her water
stem, bowsprit,rnainboonv gaff, top
mast arxdlnain mast were measured.
From what could be seen of her bot'
torn there appeared to be general re '
semblance to the Volunteer, with tbe
e xception of the rounding of the side.
In the Thistle this does not extend so
low or so far off as in the big white
sloop. -Then; too, all talk of her
model being so different frOmthe
standard cutter is all nonsense. She
is a typical cutter, although she is
dirty, she is not so foul as ' was
thought She is ; rough only where
the paintU worn off in patches. When
the entire keel was revealed it was
seen that there was not a straight
une in tne nuiLt tier bow maoe a
sharp angel to the midship section
and , from there to the storm post
there was also a slight curve in the
bottom of the keel. The 'principal
shoulders of the yacht are a midship
or nearly so, and it is in that place
that the model makes any pretense
oi beauty, uapt. Joe Jfiuswortn said
after looking very carefully over the
vessel there was not enough heat
there to heat the Volunteer. Seward
Nelson, of the New -York -yacht
ciuDsaid she was more like a big
cat boat, from behind than anything
else. AU the critics, while admiring
her bow and overhang, agreed that
she was not the boat to stand rough
weather, but they believe, as they
have done all alone, that she will be
a very fast boat in light weather. :

from justice. Williams made a con
fession to : the police authorities
which clears up the mystery of the
Neighbor murderers which : occurred
near Memphis 'last February. A
ramily by the name of Neighbor, con
sisting of six persons, was murdered
by robbers who had awakened them
from their sleep. No ? clue was
ever found of - the 1 murderers.
According to Williams' confession he
was approached in the Levee at
aiempnia . - py - two colored men
with whom he had a slight acquain
tance and was asked to assist them
m a robbery. He replied that he
would do so. The names of these1
uien were. Geo. Hood, of Columbus,
Miss., and Bill Carroll, of Nashville.
Carroll had ' a large dirk knife and
Hood a pistol When they came in
sight of the neighbors house. - Wil
liams says he became1 frighted and
relused to proceed further. They
then . gave him some whiskey
and told him to tell them if
any one come. Hood and
Carroll then - entered the house,
About fifteen minutes afterwards
Williams . heard screams and shots
from the inside. Presently he was join
ed by Hood and Carroll, who in re
ply to a question, said they had "got
