JSo. 218, HAHHIBB DBS, THURSDAY BVJBKIHO, SEPTEMBER 12, 1895. Established 1831. Mil WILLIAM WAS HOT, AND HE HAD CAUSE TO BE He Saw an Exhibition of Harris burg Ill Manners. Buffalo Bell waa angry night as he had a right to be.

The ill mannered action of the audience no, not all of the audience, only a portion of it waa sufficient cauee to make him angry. At the close of the magnificent performance, and just when the grand salute was being given a spectacle the like of which could not be ssen anywhere else in the world some of those on the front seats, fearing that they would not get oat first, made a rush for the door, and created a great deal of confusion, to say nothing of obstructing the view of those behind them. Buffalo Bill waa a picture as he sat his magnificent charger, and he made no attempt to conceal bia contempt of those who were interfering with the pleasures of the others. The look of scorn on his face was simply indescribable, and he wanted people to know that he was disgusted. The bright glara of the calcium light was thrown folly in his face, and his fierce demeanor startled some of those who were so boorish as to get np and rob others of that which they had paid for and should have been permitted to enjoy without interruption.

"Look at Colonel Oody't face," said a bright girl, "if he ever swore in bis life he most be doing some tall cussing now." And that was the general verdict. Well, he had cause to kick over this peculiar characteristic of Harrisburg audiences. It can be seen at every performance at the Opera House, or at any other amusement hall in this city, and it ia th9 subject of much criticism on the part of strangers who go to places of amusement to pass the evening. The amusement season is now on, and it is to be hoped that something will be done to put a stop to this thing. Gossip suggests that when the ill mannered people who get up to go out just before the curtain is rung down, get fairly started, somebody with a robustious voice shout "Sit down," or "Take your seat," or "Robber," or something equally severe.

A little of that sort of thing woald soon put a stop to the boorishness. Thk warning given in the Teleraph the other day to our people to watch their front doors, bar well the rear ones and leave their valuables at home when they went to the Wild West show, had its effect. Up to date there have been no cases of pocket picking reported, and only one case of robbery, and that was of a hotel man by one of his guests. We fared differently from Altoona, Johnstown, Dubois and Warren, where numerous houses were robbed and the cases of pocket picking were so numerous as to be beyond count There will be an informal meeting of Councilman in the Common Council chamber this evening, and it is to be hoped that none of the city fathers will get their hands in each others hair. The eyes of the people of the city are on them and they mast not call names, abuse each other, or otherwise behave unseemly.

Let dogs delight to bark and bite, as the ancient poet it, but Councilmen must never, no, never, scrap. "I doh't object," said the motorman on the trolley car, "to helping a lone woman on the car with, her biz market bisket, but when a man beckons me to the doorstep and insists that snail assist mm in lagging big trunk to the car platform, I draw the line. I am not hired as a porter, but some people don't know that." And he clanged his gong viciously to scara a yellcw dog eff the track. Yes, the gun has gone off for straw hats nit. "Backward, turn backward, time, in your night, And lot me be cold again, Ju3t for to night.

Turn backward, time, Just about hall a year. And give me a chill, or a tr03t bltten ear." FESSOSAL PAKAQKAPHS. Brief Mention ot tbe Movements Of jl our jfrlenug ana Acquaintances. City Clerk Miller was a visitor to Carlisle this morniDg. Mrs.

HAT Baltimore has no first mortgage on the pennant was demonstrated yesterday when the Orioles were defeated on their own stamping ground by Brooklyn. Baltimore's loss chips eff six points of Its lead over Cleveland.

The latter club had an off day. New York won and Cincinnati lost. This pulls the GiantB into seventh and pushes the Reds into a tie with Chicago at eighth, and this is the only change in the standing. Philadelphia suffered a defeat at Washington and weakened thereby its chances for second place. The 'Phillies" wiil have to be satisfied with third place.

Lancaster's two defeats at the hands of Carbondale has tied these teams for second place. The Eastern League season will close Monday. Springfield has not been headed for first place np to date. Providence will finish second and Wilkes Barre likely third. Scranton is down in the second division.

Baltimore American. THBEB JOLLY OLD CHUMS. A Lot of Tlrst Class Horseplay TJn loaded upon a sum House. Buffalo Bill was in the city yesterday. This may have accounted for the slim house tbat greeted the "Three Jolly Old Chums" at the Opera House last night.

The "Chums," as the programme assures one, is built "for laughing purposes only." This is praiseworthy candor, for if one tried to Imagine it built with any other end in view he would rack his gray matter in vain, aai it serves "laughing purposes admirably. De Wolf Hopper never extracted more langhter.and his fun depends upon the same thing horseplay. Thomas Grady and Budd Ross engineered the fan, and there is a steady stream of jokes, good, bad and indifferent, throughout the piece. Grady has a dry way of saying excruciating things that take, and take well, and as a low comedian there are few better tread the local boards. Carrie La mont deserved all the applause she received, and if you had been there you would think this meant something.

Her singing and dancing with Grady and Roes waa clever. Tho best bit of the whole evening was the singing of "Mammy's Little Black Faced Bay" by Miss Limont, Grady and Ross. Their handling of the catching little darkey ballad received a double recall. There were some fair specialties, but the ballad singing of Clinton Scott missed its mark save in his "Ben Bolt" daring the 8 vengali Trilby scene by Miss Lamont and Grady. Trilby's make up was Da Maarierly correct, and she went under Svengali's spell in military cloak and carpet slippers jast as we have all read she did.

For "lafture," "Three Jolly Old Chums" will do. THEY WILL OQ VIBITIHO. Coiinollmeii Preparing for Trip, Which Will Combine Business and Pleasure. Before the month closes oar city councilmen expect to take a week off and do a little visiting. Of coarse business is to be combined with pleasure, and the city will likely profit from this trip of observation, education and relaxation.

Members of Council have leng entertained the idea of some day visiting Esist Orange, N. and witnessing the modus operandi whereby that city's sewage is piped to a distant point, the foul matter extracted and burned and the purified liquid pumped into a nearby stream. Then, too, they have longed to see Philadelphia's model garbage plant. Transportation has been secured for the councilmanic party, which expects to visit both these cities and also Atlantic City and Reading before returning homo. "Wllllamstown Lyceum.

A number of our representative young ladies and gentlemen have formed a dramatic organization, to be known as the "Lyceum Club," not only for tho purpose of producing dramatic work but instruction as well in the higher branches of biographical knowledge of all the celebrated artists in the various professions. Their first effort will be W. S. Gilbert's comedy in three acts, "Pygmalion and Galatea" to be given September 24th under tbe direction of William Miller Farnum, late of the Dr. Bill Company, from the Garden Theater, New York City, and by his coaching it is believed that all will do ample justice to their respective rolls.

Following are the names of tho participants: Mrs. J. H. IBtroup. Misses Sadie Darby, Anna R.

Keiter, Maggie I Mason, Messrs. William M. Farnum, Arthur Jones, Clinton Keiter, Wilmcr Chester and Thos. Evans. The club members have all been seen in previous plays and need no introduction.

Luther Kipple met a horrible death today. He drank water strongly impregnated with cyanide of potassium, and died in a few minutes.

He was employed with other men in excavating for an enlargement of the building at 23 North Third street, occupied by Hoover, the jeweler. On the second floor is a room temporarily used by Mr. Hoover as a repair shop. Here was a water cooler used by the men at work on the remodeling of the building. Daring the morning the supply of water was exhausted, and Charley Lane, a colored carter, was told to fill the cooler with water from the hydrant.

He mistook a small covered crock containing the poisonous acid for a can which he was told to use in replenishing the water supply and dumped the fatal liquid on top of tho ice. He used the crock in pouring more water on the ice, and taking a small drink of the deadly liquid he returned to work. That he felt no ill effects from the half glass of the mixture which he drank is explained on the theory that the poison had not yet reached the faucet. Kipple went for a drink a few minutes later and drank freely of the poisoned water. He then returned to the basement, and while working suddenly stopped and said he felt very sick.

"Take me out quick," he exclaimed. Then he added: "That water made me sick; go and see what is in the glass from which I drank." By this time Kipple was gasping for breath and Boon became unconscious. Dr. E. H.

Coover was hastily summoned and administered the usual remedies, but he gave little hope of recovery. The effect of the poison was about the same as that of prussic acid. Kipple was taken to his home on Penn street, near Reily, in the patrol wagon but his family being absent from home the dying man was tenderly carried into the house of a relative on the same street. He expired almost immediately. It is an exceedingly sad affair.

Kipple'a wife and children went to Dauphin to spend the day and the news of his death will be an awful blow to them. The dead man waa about 41 years old. Lane, the colored carter, was much worried over hia part in the accident, and explained that he saw the covered crock near tho cooler and tuppoecd it was the vessel to be used in pouring the water from the hydrant. Mr. Hoover's employes say another can was uied for this purpose and they can't imagine why he took the covered crock with its murky contents.

Another of the excavators was about to go for a drink when Kipple waa taken sick. He waa badly frightened at the thought of the narrow escape he made from death. The cyanide cf pataa sium was used by the jeweler in cleaning watches and clocks. DETWEILBB IMPRESSED IHE COURT And Ills Two lients Get a Continuance of Their Cases District Attorney Meade D. Detwciler'a persuasive eloquence secured a continuance, at Carlisle this morning, from Judge Biddle of the cases of Preston Lau and Harry Scarf oeb, of this city, charged with felonious assault and battery, on oath of John Farnwalt.the Barnitz Station farmer, who was used np at tho Grangers' Picnic last month daring a melee.

Cumberland county's prosecuting attorney opposed a continuance. with all the logic at his command, arguing that defendants' claim that they needed more timo in which to procure material witnesses for their side was flimy, inasmuch as they had already had two weeks. Replying, Mr. Detweiler stated that the affair only occurred about two weeks ago, and impressed upon the Court the necessity of making an effort to capture the three Harrisburgers implicated in tho affair and still at large before proceeding with the trial of Lau and Searfoss. He appealed to the court not to railroad probably innocent people through and hinted at some new testimony which would place Farn walt in an altogether different light before the public.

After hearing both sideB Judge Biddle continued the case until the winter term. Funeral of John 3fedrloks After largely attended funeral services in Capitol Street Presbyterian Church this afternoon, conducted by Rev. R. H. Armstrong, the body of the late John W.

Zsdricks, the late veteran porter attached to the superintendent's office at the Union Station, was interred in Lincoln cemetery. Accompanying the funeral cortege were delegations from the three branches of the G. U. O. of O.

which Mr. Zsdricks was a member. The deceased's full regalia waa buried with him. The features of the dead presented a remarkably natural appearancoand were viewed by many at the house of mourning on Chestnut street before the funeral. There were a number of floral offerings, including a pillow, palm branches and a sheaf of wheat.

The pall bearers wcro members of the deceased's lodge, Brotherly Love, No. 896, MeBsrs. John Spahr, Andrew Uhler, George Stevenson, Roman Slade, Albert Smith and Edward Jackson. Among thoso from a distance attending the funeral were William Zadricks, of Annapolis, Henry Stewart and daughters, of Baltimore, and Mrs. David Chester, of Philadelphia.

A Wheel Collision. J. Wesley Awl escaped a serious injury on Third street near Market, this morning before noon while riding a wheel. The thoroughfare was crowded with vehicles and a number of bicyclistB who were coming in the opposite direction. Mr.

Awl was thrown from hia wheel directly under tho hoofs of a horse attached to a wagon of the United States Express Company. Ono of the animals hoofs struck him in the thoulder and inflicted a slight bruise, fortunr'ely not seriously injuring him. Tho wheels of tho wagon ran over his bicycle, but the latter received but slight damages. Mr. Awl was fished out of tho carnage in good condition, and refused the anxioua deputation of onlookers who wished to escort him to the nearest drug store.

South Third street, with the street cars, its narrowness and crowded condition most of the time, is a bad place for cyclers. A Delightful Surprise. Last evening a party of young folks assembled at the residence of Miss Daisy Sparrow, on South Cameron striot, and repaired to tho residence of Mr. Ross A.

He has with him a magnificent sot of instrumentalists and vocalists.

CAPITOL HILL. Insurance Commissioner Lambert ia greatly annoyed by the delay in printing the reports of the Insurance Department. These reports are probably of wider public interest than any others issued by the State, and yet those containing the returns for 1894 are not by any means ready for delivery. It is impossible to give the leas idea when they will be, as work has but recently begun in the printing office on the first part of the reports. The responsibility for this provoking and unnatural delay does not lie with the Department.

The "copy" has been promptly prepared and has been ready for many months. More than one half the mail received by the Insurance Department concerns the reports, which ought to have been out at least four months ago. Commissioner Lambert declared to day that, at tne present rate of progress, there is a probability that the returns of the companies for 1895 will be filed before those of 1894 are given to the public. He thinks the State should, by act of the Legislature, fix a limit of time within which the printing of important reports shall be completed. Otherwise, it is almost a use less waste of money to print reports at all.

So far as known there never has been any such delay a3 in this year. SIX JUDGES NAMED. judge McCarthy is tusaed down Trickery Eesorted to to Nominate Judge Magee, of Allegheny. Williamspobt. Sept 11.

It took the Democratic State Convention eight hours to nominate six candidates for Judges of the Superior Court and one candidate for State Treasurer. The Superior Court nominees are Judge Harman Yerkes, of Backs; Lawyer James S.Moor head, of Westmore land; Judge Charles S. JSoyes. of Warren: ex Judge P. P.

Smith, of Lackawanna; Judge O. P. Bechtel, of Bchuylsill, and Judge Christopher Magee, of Allegheny, ana tne canaioate tor state Treasurer is ex Congressman Benjamin F. Meyers, of Dauphin. There were not as many candidates for Judge as was expected.

Of the upwards of thirty whoso friends were pushing for place on the ticket only seventeen allowed their names to be Dresonted. Judge McCarthy and ex Judge Jenkins were among tnis number, but neither came anywhere near having the required number of votes 228 to put him on the ticket. Judge McCarthy got 110 votes, and ex Judge Jenkins, 57. An exciting episode that threatened to break the convention up in a riot occurred wnen jonn j. aioiony, of Philadelphia, arose second the nomination of Judge McCarthy.

In the course of his speech he said in tones filled with excitement and indignation: "I would rather follow the tried Democracy of my distinguished friend, David W. Sellers, than that of the worst beaten Democrat in Philidelphla, William M. Singerly." Instantly pandemonium reigned supreme. A storm of hisses greeted Molony, mingled with a few cheers from his immediate locality, then some one ia the rear of the hall proposed three cheers for Singerly and they were given with a will. Molony defiantly remained upon his feet, the center of an excited mob.

Five or six times he essayed to speak, but in vain. Finally Mr. Singerly arose, and, turning to the delegates, said: "Gentlemen, I beg that the convention will permit tho gentleman to proceed with his remarks." In the partial quiet that was gained Molony 'a voice was heard above the din crying out: "When Robert Pattison was a candi dato for register of wills ho was opposed by the Philadelphia Record and defeated by a slender majority through the treach i ery of so called Democrats." Another scene of indescribable confusion ensued, during which Mr. Singerly managed to cry out: "That is not bo." When the next ballot opened the Philadelphia and Pittsburg delegates, in order to nominate Magee, resorted to tactics that earned for them the disgust of the other delegates. Although more than one third of the Quaker City delegates had left the hall, it waa announced that eighty three of them cast their votes for Magee.

Whole rowB of impersonators were Beated among the delegates and unbluahingly voted on the names of other persons. The trick was first discovered when some stranger voted on the name of Otto Wolf, the well known attorney. Secretary Sensenderfer cried out "That man ia not Otto Wolf. Subsequently he pointed out a dozen other cases of impersonation. This evidently did not suit the purposes of the Democratic leaders of Philadelphia, for they stood in the aisle and crowded around the platform, jeering at Sensenderfer and threatening him with bodily harm.

LICK '11 ALL. What Henry Watterson Said to the Veterans. In Louisville last night, at a camp flro, Henry Watterson made a speech to the veterans, in which he said "I have been in every State and Territory of the Union, and I can truly say that I never came away from any one of them where I had not found something to make me proud of my country. All that I do contend for is that you will fiad here more kinds of good things and more of them than you will find anywhere else on tho face of the globe. Let the dead past bury its dead.

You at least have no reason to complain. You got away with as many of us as we got away with you. The brave men who have gone to heaven have long ago settled the account before that Court where all is made right that bo puzzles us here. God reigns and the government at Washington lives. That should Batisty ub all.

If there is any more fighting to bo done lot's go and lick England and take Canada let's go and lick Spain and take Cuba; let's go and lick creation, and make tho unspeakable Turk voto tho American ticket.

Yaehtmen found bright skies overhead and a piping breeze coming In from the southwest when they took their first weather observation today.

Flags snapped on their staffs and the smoke of factory chimneys went scurrying away as it does only when old boreas is on duty. The weather bureau seemed to have decided against Valkyrie, for it was certainly Defender weather that was furnished for the third of the international races. It was as if Uncle Sam's officials had concluded to help the Defender wind up the contest by three straight winnings, and thus end the fight for the America's cup for 1895. Tho decision of the regatta committee last night sustaining Mr. Iselin's protest and awarding Tuesday's race to the Defender, left her only one more race to win to make the America's cup safe for another year.

That the gallant Yankee boat could do it, barring any kind of a breeze no one of the many thousands who saw Taesday's race doubted. With a cracked top mast and a broken spreader compelling her to carry less sail than the British boat 6he was only beaten by forty seven seconds. What she would have done under full Bail and with spar intact is only conjecture, but there were, many yachting sharpB who said she would have won with over eight minutes to spare. The controversy over the accident at the start, and the manner in which Lord Danraven and Mr. Iselin in sisted upon a judgment on the protest and repelled all efforts of the Regatta Committee to obtain a mutual agreement to resail the race led many to think that bad blocd had been aroused, and that Lord Danraven, after hearing the decision, would refuse to start in any more races and take his boat back to England.

He proved to be too good a yachtsman for that, and aside from a vigorous protest against the interference of steamers, yachts and tugs, he made no objectiona to tho verdict. He informed the committee that he would refuse to start in another race if the fiot of excursion steamers occupied the epace needed by tho yachts for manouvericg before crossing the line, and that he would withdraw his boat at any time during tho race when the steamboats interfered with the Valkyrie's wind or gave her their wash. The rogatta committee assured Lord Danraven that they would do everything in their power to ob tain a clear course, and special ordera were given to the captains of patrol vessels. The difficulty on Tuesday was mainly at the start, and tho interference with tho American boat waa greater than with the Valkyrie. Mr.

Iselin haa made no serious protests, although his boat suffered moro than the Valkyrie, and tho unfortunate accident at tho start would not havo occurred had he not been compelled to go out of hia course to get around tho big steamer Yorktown. Both yschts lay at anchor off Bay Rido all night. The Defender had replaced the broken top mast by a smaller and thinner one belonging to the Colon ia. It looked very light and some yachting sharps who sized it up this morning hoped the wind would not get too lively during tke race, rb it seemed hardly strong enough for tho work. The spreader was repaired and the topmast shroud, which waa carried away by Valkyrie's boom, waa replaced by a new one.

The Defender had bson given a new coat of light blue naiat and nor bronza bottom rubbed until it looked like burnished gold. Everything about tho decka waa ship 6haro and tbe Hcrrefchrff boat appeared to ba ia fioii trim for Iho day's race. She ltf Bay llide iu tow of the tug W. B. Flint at" 7:45 A M.

On her decks were Mr. Iselin. Wcodbury Kane. Newbury Thorn, Nat Herreshoff, David Henderson and Herbert C. Leeds.

Mrs. Iselin was also aboard bnt did not apnear on deck until tho yacht reached the lower bay; The Valkyrie did not thow signs of start ing lor the course until 8 clock, when Lord Dunraven, Mr. Giennie, Mr. Ratsey, Mr. Kersey and Mr Busk were put aboard by a naphtha launch.

Lord Danraven's daughteis did not sail on tho British boat to day. As soon as the Danraven party were aboard the Valkyrie took a line from the tug Millard and was towed down through the narrows on her way to the starting line. On Board thb United Press Too via Sandy Hook, Sopt. 12. The fleet at the starting point was smaller than on any of the previous days, and the excursion steamers, yachts and tugs gave the racers plenty of room.

The patrol vesBels scurried about and notified captains of other craft to kocp at a good distance, aa Lord Dunraven had notified the committeo that he would not start unless the courso waa clear. The big cablo steamer, Mackay Bennett, which was anchored a quarter of a mile from the lightship was notified by tho committeo that it was in tho way. The steamer hoisted her anchor and moved half a milo nearer tho shore The excursion boats all moved away from the windward Bide of tho lino, and there was a mile of clear water to the west and south of the line, and tho course to the eastward was perfectly clear. As tho 'time for the preparatory signal approached and there were only plain lower sails visible on tho British boat, 6very eye was on her to see why she did not send up her club topsail and got ready for tho start. Thu Defender was ready at 10:40 and was cruising about in clear space around the committee boat and light ship.

Tho Valkyrio stood away to tbo southward and kept well away from tho American boat. When it was seen that Lord Danraven was not preparing to Btart tho patrol boats made another trip around, and tho excursion fleet moved still farther away. At 10:50. tho timo when tho preparatory gun should havo sounded, tho Valkyrie still showed no signs of preparing for a raco. The regatta committee had a consultation and decided to givo the Englishman more time.

A look over the expanse of water to windward and around the starting line failed to disclose any reason for not starling. There wore two or throe steam yachts with patrol fliga up fully a mile to windward and with nothing between them and tho line except open water. South of the lino were a couploof patrols at a good distance away. A solitary pilot boat was passing to the eastward and away north of the line, where they could not bother the yachts, was the excursion fleet. Tho number of steamers was Icsb than at either Saturday's or Tuesday's races.

Tho tugs crowded together in front of tho steamboats and there waa ample room for the manocuvering that precedes the start. At 10:50 a gun boomed from tho committeo boat and tho Americ yacht's ensign went up at the fore. That waa the preliminary signal and gave the yachts notice that the preparatory Bignal would bo given flftoon minutea later. All eyes turned on the British boat, and as no steamers wero near tho course it was expocted she would send up her clab topsail and got ready for the raco. Groat was the disappointment when no activity could bo seen on Valkyrie's deck.

Tho wind, which bed dropped to five knots, began to freshen, and tho Defender dashed through tho water in fine style. She Par'ct tho waves with hor bows and dished spray on her decks. Sho cruisod alone to tho westward of tho lino. The course was east by south, and Capt. Haff got her spinnaker pole out for tho run down the wind.

At 11:10 a puff of smoke was seen coming from the committee boat and one rod ball was sent up. The boats now had ten minutes for jockeying, but tho Englishman held aloof. He cruiaod about the lightship end of the line and did not go near the committeo boat. Tho ten minutes before tho start grew loss and less. Tho Defender bore away for the lino with boom to port.

At 11:19 tho Valkyrie ran up to tho windward of tho lino and swung about and started for it aa tho Defender crossed. She had not Bont up her top sail and had no spinnaker ready. At 11:20 tho starting gun soundod. Tho Defender broke out her big spinnaker and crossed at official timo. Danraven Hides in tho Cabin.

T1 1 1 ii vaiayrio went over tho line noar' the lightship end at 11:21.59, just one second before the handicap gun. Then she luffed up around the lightship and a red protest flag flattered from the starboard rigging. They objected to something and had quit the race. Their tug evidently had a preliminary tip, for it was close to the lightship waiting for her, A line was taken from the tug and the cup challenger headed for New York. The United Press tug went alonside the committee boat immediately after the withdrawal of the British boat and asked why Lord Dunraven quit, Irving Grinnell, one of the members of the regatta committee, shouted "We don't know you will have to ask Lord Danraven." Tbe tug was then alongside the Valkyrie.

Lord Dunraven and all his party except Sailmaker Ratsey had sought seclusion below. His Lordship declined to come on deck, and Mr. Ratsey only shook his head when asked why" the Valkyrie quit. Capt. Cranfield and Capt.

Sycamore were dumb and evidently all hands had orders to keep silent. The Defender with spinnacker and balloon drawing well proceeded on the course alone. The excursion fleet divided. Some boats followed the Defender, while many others chased the British yacht part of the way in. The passengers shouted "what's the matter," but no response came from the British boat.

Defender has a walk over and the America's cup will remain on this side of the water. Dnnraven's Reason. On Boakd United Pbebs Tug, Sept. 12. Upon the Valkyrie's arrival at Bay Ridge, Mr.

Giennie explained why the Valkyrio did not race to day. He said Lord Danraven handed a letter written yesterday to A. Cass Canfield, secretary of the America Cup Committee, with a request that it be not opened until after the decision in the Defender protest. The substance of the letter was that Lord Danraven did not think a fair course could be obtained off New York, and aaked the committee to provide a course that could be kept clear of boats. He suggested Marble Head or some other place distant from a city like New York.

He received no replay from the committee and did not intend to race today. He went down the Bay like a true sportsman to give the other boat a chance to start, and mske it a race if he chose to. Had Lord Dunraven received a reply to hia communication he would have raced to day." An Immense Fleet There. The probability of this being the last of the great International yacht races of 95 brought out an immense fleet this morning almost equal in number to the grand gathering of last Saturday. The crowd, perhaps, was not bo larga as on that day, but nevertheless some of the big steamboats wero uncomfortably crowded.

The day held forth much promise for the sightseers. They knew that if the Defender crossed the line ahead of the English challenger they would witness one of the greatest demonstrations ever seen in this harbor on an occasion of the kind. It waa Defender weather, and every patriotic man and woman aboard the fleet prepared themselves to givo to tho American boat a reception 6he might well be proud of. As early as 9 o'clock scores of the day's fleet began scurrying dowa the bay. Tho glorious breeza set the heart ot the true yaehtmen flattering.

Truly the Da fender had her day, and every one was glad of it. "Now the Yankee will show what she can do," was tho comment of the excursionists when they saw the white caps merrily chsslng each other over the raffled waters. The fleet presented a beautiful picture as they awept through the awash channel cat to the Bcene cf tho greet fcaltfe. First came the pretty fleet of patriots, thou eeores of tugs, the excursion boats, steam yachts and other craft. Their figa flow defiantly in the strong breeza, adding a Iifc liko charm to the nautical panorama.

Possibly Valteyrie Didn't Want to Raco The preliminary signal was set at preparatory at start at 11:20. Before the starting gun waa fired the course waB entirely clear of boats and the two racera had all the room possible to jockey in. There were no signs of making ready for the race aboard the Valkyrie and the eyes of the throngs were anxiously turned toward her. All daring the manocuvering of tho yachts the patrola kept running about There seemed to be no reason for the Britishers to complain on the ecoro of not having a clear course. After crossing the starting lino the Valkyrie showed the protest flag.

She immediately luffed, turned about and headed toward the city. Course 3Tirteeu Miles to Leeward and He turn. On Board Maokat Bennett Steamer, Sept. 12. At 10:20 A M.

12. A terrific storm swept over this section at about 9 o'clock last evening, causing much damage to property generally and culminating in a serious disaster and fatality at Cape Vincent, at the foot of Lake Ontario. Thos. Arnic and George Godfrey, of Cape Vincent, have since died from internal injuries received from the wrecking of the depot, and others were injured as follows: J. M.

Adreson, New York City, fracture at base of the brain Miss Maude Walsh, Kingston, severe scalp wound; Miss Lillie WilsoD, Cape Vincent, fractured clavicld; Mrs. John Aiken Hamilton, Ont, fractured limb and internal injuries; David Andres, hand cut, and the following from Cape Vincent: Mrs. Eageno Fitzgerald, severely injured internally; Miss Addie Dennison, Willie River, Fred Strong, Miss Addie Danraven, Miss Adele Seymour, Miss Lizzie McGowan, Miss Rose Stnmpf, Miss Grace Augustus, Eugene Fitzgerald and Steve Odeine. Though it continued only a few minutes, it waa the most severe windstorm that has visited this section since its settlement by the whites. The rain came aa if from a cloud burst and continued half an hour, but the wind which wrought the destruction was like a tremendous gust, coming so suddenly and passing so swiftly that it seemed not to have lasted more than a minute, and yet in that brief time it showed a power before which almost everything movable gave way.

The depot at Cape Vincent, which was wrecked, was an immense shed, capable of sheltering great crowds of excursionists to the Thousand Islands and other Canadian points. It seemed like a straw under the force of the wind. GOES TO THE DEFENDER. Her Protest Sustained and the Valkyrie Ixsea. New Yobk, Sept.

11. The Regatta Committee of the New York Yacht Club late this afternoon announced that they sustained the protest made by the Defender in Tuesday's race, and awarded the same to the Yankee boat. Before the committee reached this decision they took the testimony of Lord Danraven and Mr. C. Oliver Iselin and others on board the contesting yachts.

The letter of the committee is aa follows: "New York, Sept. 11. O. Oliver Iselin Dear Sir We beg to acknowledge tbe receipt of your letter of yesterday, protesting Valkyrie. We have given the matter our careful consideration, and De lltve that tho foul occurred through a miscalculation of the distance between the two yachts at a critical moment.

From cur own observation, confirmed by that of others who were in good position to Bee all that occurred, wo find that Valkyrio III, in contradiction of section 11 of racing rulo XVI. bore down noon De fender and fouled her by the swing of her main boom when luffing to straighten her course. Wo also consider that Defender left Valkyrie sufficient room to windward to pass clear of the committee boat. The protest is therefore sustained. Respect fully yours, (Signed) S.

Nicholson Kakb, "Chrstbk Gkibwai.d, "iRVINt Section 11, of Racing Rale XVI, reads: "A yacht shall not bear away out of her courso so as to hinder another in passing to leeward." The blamo of the fouling is placed by thoao who ought to know cn Sycamore. In his own defense he stated to day that he was not told jast what his position was unaer tne racing rules under which he waa sailing. Hia only instruction, he says, was to Bail for a quick start. Lord Danraven said to night: "I shall eail this raco to morrow as a sportsman, because I have no occasion to do otherwise. I believe in the ability and honesty of the Regatta Committeo of tho New York Yacht Club I believe that no effort has been made to influence their decision, I believe thorn to be gentlemen and yachtsmen, and while I do not care to say any thing about the Valkyrie, I yet think that Mr.

Watson haa also fulfilled his engage ment to band, tor me, a boat. "I do not expect that Mr. Iselin will offer a chance for a resail or anything of mat sort, wnue it is very certain that the American Cup is lost by reason of the Valkyrie's racing showing.it is not bo certain that at some timo the cup may not be carried across the Atlantic. "The appearance of the decision of the New York Yacht Clab Committeo did not surpriso me. I believe that Defender made a heroic effort upon Tuesday.

I do not think that tho decision of the New York Yacht Club Regatta Committee ia based upon their calm consideration of the matter in hand. I do not agree with them. It is known beyond doubt that there were at least three upon the American Cup Committee who had doubta upon the situation and who believed it would be necessary to at loast re sail the race. of Tuesday or accord tho Valkyrio a win. The following bulletin ia significant: To llic members of the Neio York Yacht Club Your committee boga to state that beforo arriving at a decision upon the Defender's protest they endeavored to bring about a mutual agreement between the respectivo yachts to rosail yesterday's raco, bat each preferred that the committeo should pass judgment upon the protest." Lord Danraven declined this morning to meot Mr.

Iselin, for what reason it is not known. Tho chances aro that Mr. IseUn'u situation is due to the possibility of unpleasant commont and reference to the Valkyrie. Mr. Iselin showed to day hia entiro disinclination to bo interviewed.

He recommended the appointment of a committee to make a test case as to the constitutionality of the act of June 7th, 1890, which provided for the reduction of pensions. C0LLBGK CLASS SHUT OUT. The State Institution Opens Without tbe Fifty two Juniors. Bbixkfontb, Sept. 11.

A climax in the State College war waa reached to day, when the faculty refused to admit the junior class, consisting of fifty two students. The entire class was suspended last spring for cribbing in a history examination. They were told that they must be re examined or remain away from the college. The students stuck together and refused to go through another examination. To day the college opened for the fall term, and they were all there and applied for admission, but were refused because they had not undergone the re examina tlon.

Both the students and faculty are firm, and it is ytt hard to tell how the affair will end. As the State annually appropriates several hundred thousand dollars to keep the college running this episode ia of widespread Interest. And back of it all seems to be a little romance that did not at once come to light. It seems that when the regular examination in ancient history took place last spring every member of the class with the exception of one girl, passed with a rush. This aroused suspicion and an investigation was made, when it was divulged that the class had obtained a copy of the questions to be submitted from the college typewriter, and had thus prepared for the ordeal.

Every member of the class was supplied with a copy except the young lady, and she didn't get one because she was on very friendly terms with one of the professors, and they were afraid to trust her with the secret. How ever, she told her professor, and the college ecandal came to light It also appears that the students got their copy of the questions throagh one of their number, who was in love with the typewriter girl. 8ho was at once dismissed.
