HIS BOAT swAMPED BY A STEAMER AT THE FALL
RIVER REGATTA-TEEMER WINS THE RACE
At the Fall River regatta yesterday the mile and
a-quarter race for local scullers was won by John
Murphy in 1342. Hanlan, Lee, Hamm, Ten Eyck,
Mckay, Hosmer, Ross, Driscoll, Teemer, Riley,
Elliott, Plaisted and Gaisel started in the profes
sonal race, which was rowed after o'clock. The
water was rough. A false start was made, and 1t
was not until O'clock that they all got off to-
gether. Hanlan Shot to the front, with Elliott
close second, and Lee and Hamm several lengths
behind, close together. The rest OF the men were
In a bunch, with Plaisted slightly ahead Hanlan
turned the buoy first, with Ross and Hosmer
close behind, they turning nearly together.
The steamer CanOn1cuS, of Providence, with an
excursion party On board, came down the river as
Hanlan turned the buoy, ana steamed right among
the oarsinen. The swell from the steamer swamped
Hanian, Elliott and Hamm, and practically threw
Hanian out OF the race, his boat being filled with
impossible to distinguish the men at the finish.
Lee upset after crossing the line, and Driscoll
drew out half nile from the start. At the close
half dozen OarSmen surrounded the judges boat,
several OF them claiming first position. This was
given TO Teemer, who made the two and a half
miles in :2S, with HoSmer second In 1880, and
Ross third in 8:35. Hanlap said he was beaten,
but did not feel bad about it; he did not cut his
boat, was not struck on the mead, and did not get
any one to put wire around his buoy. He was
glad of one thing-that no money had been bet on
really Outrowed, but the rOughnesS OF the water
and the Swamping OF his boat may be taken AS the
causes OF his defeat About 900 persons witnessed
the race.

The Fathers Search.

No sadder story was ever told in the
pages of romance than that of the cruel
abduction of little Charley Ross and the
wanderings of the unhappy father, who
has been dragging his sorrows about from
place to place for nine weary years in a
vain search for his lost child. Every new
clew, while it brings with it hope, tears
open the wounds of the parents heart,
and they bleed afresh. Every new dis
appointment recalls the anguish of the
first wretched hours of bereavement.
If the child could be found and re-
stored to his parent all the world would
rejoice. Every heart would breathe a
silent prayer of thankfulness and joy.
But even then there would be a touch of
sadness mingled with the bliss of re-
union. Poor Charley when stolen from
his parents was little four-year-old
prattler, with bright eyes and golden
hair and merry laugh The father will
never again take the lost child to his
heart as he was in those days.
To wholly heal the wounds he
has received it would be necessary to set
back the hand of time to enable him to
fondle with the golden locks-to hear
the childish voice lisp its jUy-to kiss
the fresh young lips as they used to be
kissed in the happy days before the terri
BILE sorrow fell upon the family circle:
This can never be. Little Charley is
gone forever. The child, if found, will
be lad of thirteen or fourteen years,
tried by adversely, probably without a
memory of his past history-of those
who have suffered such anguish for his
loss. No; there can be no thorough
healing of the parents sorrow in this sad
case. But every heart will send up a
sincere wish that he may discover his
SON and that his weary search may at last
be succeeded by such happiness as he
can yet enjoy.-Nelo York. World.

A "Trouhle.Man's" Life.

The life of a telegraph company's line
man is a laborious and dangerous one,
and at times entails great hardship and
exposure. In Philadelphia the Western
Union company has five men whose
whole duty is to repair damages to the
line in or within few miles of the city.
One of these is George Riley, who went
to sea for eleven years of his life and who
has been in the employ of the company
for the past fifteen years. In speaking
of accidents in telegraph work he said:
"There is some danger, of course, in
linework, but as a rule it can be avoided
if one is cool-headed and careful. The
trouble with most men is that when
they get accustomed to climbing they
become careless and reckless and some
times get bad falls. The only man OF
our line that has been killed in my time
was thrown to the ground by the break
ing of a cross-bar. There are very
narrow escapes, though. have climbed
pole that | thought was sound and
found when near the top that it was soft
and rotten. Once | fell about twelve
feet, and only saved myself from falling
to the ground by grabbing some wires.
In Philadelphia the company has about
| fifty poles that are from seventy to 100
feet high. Formerly we used to climb
these like the rest, but of late years the
monsters are fitted with iron steps, and
going up them is nearly as easy as going
upstairs. The steps were adopted be-
cause the poles are valuable and the
climbing made holes in them and caused
| them to be exposed to the weather.
One of these poles is eighty feet high.
| Formerly we had either to climb this pole
or to get TO it from the roof. The jump
! from the mansard roof to the fourth
cross-bar was fully five feet and the cross
bar, seventy feet above the ground, was
only three and half inches broad. You
can imagine that this was a small foot
hold for such jump, and yet we never
missed it. The jump back to the roof
was somewhat more dangerous, there be-
ing a space of only sixteen inches TO land
on and a wall to bump against. l took
the jump several times, but liked it less
and less at every jump.
"The best and boldest climber know
is Dick Penn, of Baltimore. He has
climbed old poles that broke under him,
but, like a cat, he always falls on his
feet. lie doesn't use any mOnkey-wrench,
as others do, in getting out the two-and
seven-eighths-inch bolts that fasten the
cross-bars to the pole, but pulls them out
or kicks them out A climbers outfit is
generally pair of climbing-irons, a pair
of nippers to break wire with and a sec
tion of wire-say ten pounds. l have
seen Penn climb a forty-fve-foot pole
with 100 pounds of wire thrown over his
shoulder. James Grace, also a lineman,
was the only other man who could climb
with this weight,
