HANLAN AND COURTNEY.
Statement jim Regard 70 the Saving of
Courtney's Boats at Chautaqua.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 8.--The Globe-Democrat
this morning publishes an interview which
will starte the sporting world, for in 1t a.lega-
tions are made to the effect that Hanlan
was chiefly to blame for the saving of Court
ney's boats at Chautauqua Lake and putting
an entirely new complexion on the races be-
tween these men. In the first place. the inter-
view Is alleged to have taken place between
the sporting editor of the Globe. Democrat and
one OF Hanlan's chief hackers The interview
took place OF Chautauqua Lake just after the
saving Of Courtney's boats Hanlan's backer,
upon this occasion, is credited with making
statement of which the following is q brief
synopsis: Hanlan and Courtney arranged for
three races in 1873. The first was to take
place at Lachine on October 8 for purse of
S6,000 offered by the citizens. The second
was to take place at Chautauqua Lake, Oct. 16,
for prize OF $1,000 The third race was to
be rowed wherever the most money was TO be
made. The first race was to be won by Han
Ian, the second by Courtney, and the third to
be decided on later. The first race was rowed
five miles with a turn-and, according to
agreement, Hanlan won.
The second race was looked forward to with
greater interest than the first, for, although
beaten, Courtney was full of confidence, and
had rallied great crowd Of hackers about
him, who had put up all their money that he
would win. This money was scarcely posted
when Hanlan reached the lake, and, alarmed
at the proportions which the betting had
reached he called upon Courtney and told
him that he would not give him the race ac-
cording to agreement, and that he wonld have
to row for it if he expected to win. Hanlan g
backer claimed that Courtney, upon hearing
this statement, became alarmed in turn, and
fearing that if he rowed and Hanlan beat him
he would swamp his friends, he took the only
road out OF the woods and sawed both of his
boats in two. This interview is so worded that
it is not likely that the matter will rest. In
deed, there is no doubt that full inyestiga.
tion win follow, which will bring the truth 70
the surface and result in the punishment of
the guilty. Hanlan's backer claims that of
the six-thousand-dollar purse in the first race
at Lachine and which Hanlan won, Courtney
received $1,000 anu $500 of the plunder.

Gen. Fairchild of Wisconsin.

The Madison (Wis.) Journal has made a can
vass of the newspaper press of that State upon
the subject of Presidential preferences, and
says: ''There is a very decided preference for
our distinguished fellow citizen. Gen. Fair
child, as the Republican candidate, and no
doubt this preference will increase with time
and reflection. The voice of the Republican
masses is emphatically for Gen. Fairchild,
whose record, military and civil, is without
blemish. On the day succeeding the call of
the President for 70 900 troops to quell the re-
bellion Mr.. Fairchild rendered his service to
the Governor of the State. He served under
the three months service, and then re-enlisted
for the war. AT the battle of Gettysburg he
was in the thickest of the contest, and lost an
arm while leading his men. Returning home,
lie was chosen as Secretary of State, and COM
menced his term in January, 1864. Two years
after he became Governor of the State, and
served three terms in that capacity, greatly to
the benefit of the State and to the satisfaction
of the people. For nearly 10 years, common
cling in 1872, Gen. Fairchild represented his
country abroad-frst as consul to Liverpool,
then as consul-general at Paris, and lastly as
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiaFy at Madrid. In all these positions he has
exhibited executive ability of high order, and
has proved in all cases an extremely popular
official. He holds strong place in the affet-
tions of the people of Wisconsin, and is well
known throughout the country. With such
record, Gen. Fairchild would prove popular
and strong candidate for President, and would
fill that high position with distinguished sbili-
ty and with honor to the country. 1t is very
clear that his own State will present united
delegation for him in the next National con-
vention, and in case he receives the nomin-
alton, no mistake will have been made. His
public record and private life point Gen. Fair
child out as an eminently proper man TO lead
the Republican hosts to victory in 1884,"

CHICAGO Aug. S--Something of sensation
was caused yesterday in a boarding house at
No. So West Lake street. On Monday even
ing the boarders began 20 feel symptoms of
serious illness, and as one after another felt
terrible pangs, it was believed that they had
been made the victims of some wholesale poi
soner. BY evening q persons were stretched
on beds of sickness, and the house was filed
with squads of physicians, each of whom had
more than he could attend to. Most of the
doctors. after investigating the matter. decided
that the illness arose from acute poisoning. 1t
was not kdown that the boarders had partaken
OF any common dish except potatoes, and the
alarm speedily spread that cholera had appear
ed IN Chicago in its most virulent form. The
excitement for a time was intense. DIR. De
Wolf, the health commissioner, argued that
there could be no cholera without germs, and
as the premises were in good sanitary condi-
tion he believed the patients were not stricken
down with any serious ailment This morning
there were eight new cases, and then the
health authorities set to work in earnest.
Patient inquiry led to the discovery Of the
cause of the sickness, which was no other than
an injudicious combination of watermelon
and ice cream. Since that fact has been dis
covered the patients have improved rapidly
and Chicago's first cholera scare has subsided.

lie could not say when they would be able to
resume. President Branard said today he
was doing all in his power to make depositors
secure and declared all his Transactions had
been straightforward. The whole question
seems to be- whether Barlow's creditors will
push Brainard to the wall or be lenient Bar

ported he expects to obtain relief by the dis
posal of the Southeastern 1t is claimed how
ever by the Montreal papers that he is handi-

that Finance Inspector Dewey's visit this af-

A Banks Credit Endangered by specaln
ton.

ROCHESTER,, Aug. s. The rnmors affecting
the solvency of the Second National bank of
Elmira grew out of the fact that the President
had been speculating in pork, The firm OF 8.
X. Metzger & Son of Elmira, for years has
been known far and wide as being extensively
engaged in the beef and pork trade The firm
consisted of S. X. Metzger & Son, OF Elmirs,
for years has been known far and wide as be-
ing extensively engaged in the beef and pork
trade. The firm consisted OF B. X. Metzger,
an elderly gentleman, and his son, Theodore
G. Meizger. On Saturday the firm was de-
solved. So apparently well conducted and ex-
tensive was the business, and SO great were the
profits under the energetic management OF the
younger Metzger and the conservative direc-
tion of his father, that separation of the two
caused much excitement. The cause of the
dissolution, when it became known on Sunday,
took the business community by surprise.
Theodore had been speculating in pork in Chi
cago to very extensive degree, and, owing to
the break in the market lately, he had lost
heavily. His course, 1t is alleged, was
without the knowledge or consent of the
head OF the firm. 1t also became known
that there we're outstanding notes given by Mrs
Metzger, and bering the firms name to the
amount, it is asserted, OF over $4,000. These
notes, it is claimed, the elder Metzger knew
nothing about They were issued without his
cognizance, much less his approval They
were held by d. r. Pratt, President OF the Sec
ond National Bank. Yesterday it became
known in Elmira that Pratt had also ben spec
ulatng in pork, and had also lost heavily.
Some put his losses as high as 100000, bat his
friends say it is not as much as that while the
family assert that the losses are small and
have nothing to do with the affairs of the bank
Much excitement was created by the news,
and large numbers of depositors hastened to
the bank and withdrew their deposits. There
was no panic and no run on the bank, but con-
siderable nneasiness prevailed. Authoritative
adyices received from Elmira say that ID. r..
Pratt President, and @. r. Pratt, his son,
Cashier, have charge OF the bank and are
transacting its business, and that 100000 was
received from New York to help them. SO far
as has been learned there is little reason TO
doubt the solvency of the bank, but it is gener-
ally thought that 1t will suffer considerably
fron future loss of business.
