Tha K.nglleh yachting leeeon con tlnuei ap to October, and tha Vigilant will ba In F.ngllah watere moatof thaaammer monthe. We are ready to race her against any KnglMi or any other yaoht afloat." In tha event of yoar challenge! being accepted, will yon or your brother aall tha yacht la tha racoa?" "Oh." replied Mr. Oould. "a profeealonal aailorman ia to ba preferred In a race, and I rather think rapt HafT will handle tha Vigilant la all har raeee. One thine only la peeltlre at thla moment, and that la that we are ready to accept all challengee." George Gould'e family aall on the Parte next Wedneeday.

and Mr. Oould will follow ehortly afterward, according to hla present programme, or juat about the time that tha Vial, lant la expected to arrive In Englieh waters. Mr. Oould eald he might leave aoooer. but thla would depead to a certain extent on hla buai-neee engagements.

The famoua steam yacht Atalanta ia now lying at Baeln. and Hr. Gould haa net ret determined whether aha la to ba put in commlsalon for the summer. The news that George and Howard Gould will accept all challengee to the Vigilant will be welcomed In American and Kngllah watere. Oeorge Gould haa beea an amateur aailorman from a young; boy.

and In the dare when he aatled the Ka.ilta he waa an expert hand at the tiller. Howard Gould haa not had the experience of hie elder brother, but be la just aa enthusiastic a yachtsman, and both are nervy. Oeorge Gould can handle the Vigilant aa well aa anr amateur, but In all race, he and hla brother prefer to put her In charge of Capt, HafT. Tha Vigilant wae finally launched from Mather A Wood's shipyard, l'ort Jefferson, yesterday. Aa the waya had been lengthened aome thirty feet there wae little or no trouble In getting her overboard, and promptly at high water, or juat o'clock In the morn-Ins, aha alld gracefully Into the water.

A gang of men and a portion of the crew worked all night ahorlng up the waya. and ('apt. Haft looked herover carefully before ahe waa launched. Lieut. John A.

Tobln. the Inventor or the Vlgllant'a bronze bottom, waa among thoaa who critically examined her hull, and If he had any orltlciama to make he kept them to btmeelf. A tow line waa then passed to the tug Guiding Mar, and a moment later tha Vigilant with Capt. Haft, a crew of tea men. and ber racing apara.

sails, and rig stored on her deck, disappeared around the lend amid the cheare of the crowd, bound for the Krle Baeln. The Vigilant. In spite of her somewhat dismantled condition, was quickly recognized by the Captains of the Bound steamers, and received a royal weloome. Bhe waa elghted at City Island at 7 o'clock laat night, and at o'clock ahe arrived safely at the Krle Basin. Brooklyn.

Bhe will probably bo placed on the dry dock to-day. and work will be commenced at once to fit her out for the ocean voyage, Juat what the Vigilant will accomplish under her reduced rig In the short and choppy aeaa of the Bolent and Channel no one of course can tell, but that ahe will make a better record than the Navahoe few will doubt. George Gould haa propoaed his brother Howard for membership In the Atlantic Yacht Club. Among other candidates for election are: C. T.

Mr. Montague and hie frlende said that Andrews was dismissed for no fault of his own. but rather that his retirement waa the reault of Toby's aohemes. Andrews was a valuable clerk. Mr.

Hagan took passage In the steerage of the Alameda, and Bennett became his fellow paesenger. The detective overdid the eleeotess vigilance business, for he shadowed Hagan so closely that the defaulter became auspicious, and several tlmea attempted to pick a quarrel with Uennett The detective would not ahow light and all went well until the Alameda was within a few days of Honolulu.

Then Hagnn acouaed Bennett of shadowing him and knocked him down. When Rennet! waa rescued Hagan ordered him to keep away or elae ha would "chew his head off."

In the plana heretofore prepared, on which tha oontraeta for constructing the apeedwar were let there was no provision for a sidewalk. aa required br law. on tha river aide of the drivewar either at High Bridge or at Washington Bridge.

In the suit brought at the Instance of tbe City Club br F.

The Injunction waa afterward modified ao that work could proceed wherever the plana provided for proper sidewalks. The Commlseloners decided, however, that hey would make the plana conform with the aw. and they lnetructed Eaglnear Graham.

She Is 7 years old. Tha excitement Is so Intense in the neighborhood that the murderers will ba lynched on abort notice If they are fully Identified.

It Is reported that the Taylore had arranged with the murdered man to give hlra a team of horses and a wagon ao that could leave tha county and not be preaant at the time of tbelr trial. Meeks's mother save that yeaterday her eon received a letter from the Taylors at Browning, telling him to be In readiness to go awrty at 10 o'clock laat nlgbt. and that Meeka and the children waited for Taylor until midnight, when two men whom Meeka aald were George and Rill Taylor came to their home in a wagon. The murdered man and hla family got into the wagon and atarted for Brownlng- 'I he only atatement regarding the crime obtainable waa from the seven-year-old girl who waa suffering greatly at the time ebe told her story.

It seems that when the Meeka family and the persona accompanying them reached a point on the road ne.ir the aehonlhouae In Lynn countr, a email distance from Browning, they were attacked by two men who were lying in wait on the roadside. The first victim waa Meeka Hla wife jumped from the wagon la terror at the sound of the ehot and then ehe waa murdered In the same way. The murderers then aelred large stnnee and beat the life out of the two children, leaving the third one for dead. It Is supposed the murderers hauled tha bodies of tbelr victims nearly two miles In the wagon to the Taylor farm, burying them under a haystack. Atts o'clock tn the morning the living child recovered consciousness, and went to tha reeldeneeofa Mr.

and the men of science wanted to kill him In such a war that thsy could examine his ergana and determine, if possible, what It was that madn him ao wicked. To be sure, other elephants had died, and In the course of time more would die. but Tip wae wicked, and Science wae Interested la hlra. So ther killed him carefully. They gave him a deadly poison which.

If properly taken, would prepare the body for an Interesting autopoy. Tip, howsver, being a wicked elephant did not take It properly. Oa the contrary, he took It In such a way that ha became verr sick. Of course. It would have been an eaer thing to have ebot him and ended his agonr.

but that would have Injured hla skin, and than It would not have been so nlo to etnff. So ther waited until his agonr had subsided a little and then ther tried again, and again, and again, and again to make him take tha poleon properlr. An ordlnarr elephant might have grown furloua. and In hie rage might have exerted hla eoloesal strength to bring the heavr roof of the building crashing down upon bla executioners. But Tip, being wloked and, aa the experte aald.

a eraar beast tried again, and again, and again, and again to take the poleon properlr. And although the dense crowd of men that stood before hie cage, and the chatter of a thousand vole.ee outside tha building, and tha disagreeable taste of tha poison, and the etranga affect of tha small portion he had taken improperly confused him and made him dared and sick, he re. sponded to each call of tha men of science and made another attempt to eat in the rigbt war the poisoned morsel ther offered him. For nine houre this lasted, and Tip grew a stsadllr weaker and weaker. Tha action of the poison was not as powerful aa the men of eelence bad said it would be.

bnt neverthelee they were pleased to eaa that It was slowly but surely taking effect The nine hour, dragged along, and Tin, great big Tip, dazed with a sensation that no elephant had ever experienced before, felt his life slowly slipping away. Thsy gave him oarrota, and apples, and bread, and peanuts, just aa tbe children who eame to the olroue thgse days before Tip was wloked used to do. but the children had never given him poison, and theaa things all tasted different now. At last ther gave him bran, hla favorite nourishment and. being hungry, he swallowed it and tor tha first tlma took tha poleon the right war.

In a few minutes convulsions seized hie mighty frame. Ha staggered toward tbe furthest end of bla cage to get away from the men who had bean feeding him. The ohala upon bla leg tripped him. and. forgetting in his dizziness that ho oould snap that ebaln at If It war a flimsy thread, he fall upon hla aide.

Tha poison, now supreme, convulsed his every moscle. Hla great lege, which, at that moment no hundred mea could have controlled, were extended, etliT In pain. For a few minutes he lay motionless. Than bla trunk, that delicate orgaa. with lta thousand musolae.

slowlr uncurled. two loud trumpet blasta resounded through the building, and with a laet convulsion that enapped In two tha heavr Iron ohaln which bound him round Tip lar dead. It had been announced br tha membera of the Park Board that Tip would be killed at 6 o'clock In the morning. In order to wltnaea all the preparatlona and to ba In readlneaa in caae of an unforeseen contlngener. every one of the three eoore newspapsr men wbo gathered ontelde the elephant houae remained op all night so as to be on time.

And to these men the silent change from night to dawn was Inexpresslblr Impressive. All the Park waa still, and as tha sun rose everr object assumed glgantlo propor. tlona. The trees loomsd through tba half light as If their tops touched the baa vena, and the group of buildings In which the animate are kept grew into a great eltr. But slowly tbe mlete were dispelled br tha sun's warm rare, and each object outlined with painful sharpness, fell Into Its normal ahapa, To thoaa who had been watching the building In which Tip was confined through an hour ofdarknaaa the change seemed unnatural and weird.

The crowd grew until there were fully 100, moat of them newepeper man. repreeentlng not only the newapapereand news associations of New York, but of all the United states. No living elephant had aver before attracted sueh widespread attention. Even Tip. when he had killed men bad not excited aa much interest as upon this occasion whsn men were going to kill Tip.

There wae one man there who represented a acore of newspaper. In western Pennsylvania; another who corresponded for newapapera In Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louie, and Indlanapolla; another who waa to write the atorv for half a dozea I newspapers on the Pacific alope and another who waa going to tell the readere of a London journal. In a special cable menage, how an elephant waa killed in New Tork. These mea gathered In discussing the probable outcome of the experiment and here let It bo said that no matter what the men of eoleno had to ear about It it wae nothing more than an experiment, pure and simple nd figuring upon what might enaue if Tip broke loose.

A dlamal drizzle began to descend, adding to the) discomfort of everybody and the general gloom of the eltuation. At (I.3II o'clock oiumlaelonor, Btraue and Hell arrived. Hr. Btrau, aaked one of the keepera to unlock the door of the building la which Tip wa, confined and invited aeveral newspapermen to enter. There etood Tip la, the corner cage, hi, leg, planted firmly upoa the grsaa which covered the floor of bis cage, rsstlesalv hi, head to and fro.

Tnia habit of hla had done more than anything alas to convince bla keepera and the people who aaw him that he wae a very wloked elephant Other elephant often motloolee, or ales walked elowly around their cage, bat Tip, when not asleep, wa, always awing, log hie malve head from side to side And what: a head it waa I A full yard from mouth to top, heavy almoat aa If It were all of laad. aa a huge engine with euca a battering ram. and the tremendou. Impact with which he could have atruck the aide of the building that formed oae aide of hit rasa, what terrific destruction ha could have wrought I Strauagued at him for a moment aud then aald: if Tip breaks loose there will ba a loaa of human life" There are only three cages In this bulldiag. The centre one.

Tbe other corner sage la the abode of the double-horned rhluoceroe. who haa a queer habit of ewlLgw lug to and fro on Ins left leg, and then oa hi, right, snd then around in a circle in a sort of wait? step.
