THE REGATTA TOMORROW.
All the Crews Prepared for IL.

Yesterday and to-day were busy and
eventful days among the oarsmen. Last
night and this morning nearly all the
crews were on the water practicing in fine
style and making time that cannot well be
excelled during to.morrow's races.
The business meeting last evening re-
suited in the selection Of Mr.. Richard Cross,
Of Baltimore, as referee, and Messrs. Joseph
Downman, Columbia; Arthur Small, Poto-
mac, and Howard johnson, Analostan, as
judges at the finish.
The drawing for positions will take place
this evening at the Potomac house.
Among the changes yesterday were tho
withdrawal Of the Rappahannoclks, owing
to illness of two men and the entry of
Kelley, of the Analostans, for the junior
single against Smithson. This act is re-
garded merely as an accommodation to
Smithson, who would not be entitled to the
prize If he merely rowed over the course
without an opponent.
The visitors are all here now, and have
nearly all shown their mettle by practice
spins over the course from which keen OBJ
servers are forming their estimates of the
condition of the various crews and tho
probable results of the contest. There has
never before been so great difference of
opinion between good judges as to tho re-
suit of the races at local regatta, and any
one anxious to back his opinion can find
ready takers on any proposition he has to
make as to any of the more important
races.

NORTHEAST WASHINGTON.
Items from u Much-Ne-
elected Section.

The present season stands unrivaled in
this section for building improvements.
Private enterprise pushes on with the
hope that the authorities will at no dis.
tant day recognize the just demands of
the locality for public improvements.
The recent heavy rains have done moro
TO improve the sanitary condition OF this
quarter than the street-cleaner and Health
Department have done all summer De.
cayipg vegetable matter and filth gener-
ally has been swept away, the streets aud
alleys flushed aud the street basins and
sewers cleaned. IL is now possible to in
hale pure air and enjoy walk or drive
through the streets with some degree OF
comfort.
The b. & o. Y, where the terrible colli-
sion recently occurred, is still operated on
the same old plan and by men receiving
the fabulous salary of six cents an hour,
day and night, including Sundays.
Residents of this section, particularly
Government Printing Office employees, are
very liberal patrons of the National game.
With an audience of 1000 In Capitol Park
it Is safe 10 predict that this source con-
tributes so per cent. of the attendance.
As usual, in the apportionment Of appro-
piiations for street improvements, the east
ern section gets comparatively nothing. 1t
is unfortunately lacking In social influence
and real estate pools.
Edgar, son of Mr.. J. b. Mohun, Of l
street, who suffered severe injury to one Of
his limbs on the b. &c o. Y short time
since, is still confined to his bed. He holds
an important and responsible position In a
wholesale drug house In Baltimore, and his
confinement seriously intetferes with his
business engagements.
Recently the street-lamps have not been
lighted until most everybody has retired
to their houses. Those on the streets early
In the evening have been obliged to grope
their way in The dark.
1t is noticeable fact, probably owing to
tho general agreeableness Of the summer,
that fewer people than usual have
left home for the summer. As mat.
ter of fact few places. either at seaside,
springs or mountain, afford more comforts
and attractions than does Washington and
its immediate vicinity. Local tradesmen
are pleased with this condition Of affairs.
The introduction of the Edison electric
light in many of the departments of the
Government Printing Office is hailed with
delight by the employees. Itisamore pow
erful aud steadier light than gas, generates
less heat and emits no sickening odor as did
the gas and now that the plant is complete
will be much less expensive. 1t has been
given a thorough and satisfactory test
What Is the employers gain, no viewer, is
the gas monopoly's loss, for the consump'
ton of gas in this establishment has here
tofore been enormous and the bills CORE
spondingly large.

Miss Kate Borroughs, the daughter of As.
sistant Postmaster Borroughs, who was 60
seriously burned on Sunday, the Goth instant,
an account OF which was published In THE
CRITIC, breathed her last about o'clock this
morning, after suffering intense pain, which
she bore with Christian fortitude. On Monday
Miss Borroughs was thought to be much i'm
proved, and strong hopes OF her recovery were
entertained by her parents and large num-
attacked with lockjaw and grew rapidly worse,
and oil hopes OF change for the better were
abandoned by her relatives and physicians.
She was conscious throughout tho night and
suffered little or no pain from the horrible
burns which she received. The deceased was

James Dudley, colored, was arrested by the
police this morning on the charge OF receiving
money under false pretenses. IL appears
that James, who Is a noted character, owns a
lot in the Union Buryi Dg Grounds, near this
city, and has for some time been dlsposing OF
ground enough for graves to q number OF par
Ties, only giving them q receipt for the money
and no title for the grave, which has caused
considerable trouble among the colored folks.
James has sold at least dozen lots on the one

After the Hall.

She stands alone In her chamber,
when all the gayety'8 done,
Flushed with the charm or triumph,
Proud OF the victory won.
For out OF that fair assembly
She had reigned as beautiful queen;
And now there Is a sadness mingled
With the glory and Joy OF the scene.
She did not mean to be heartless
When she led him 10 think one day
He'd found her to swim and to wear her."
AS they stood beneath the May;
But now that's past and over,
The thought that was once 80 dear;
She has broken the solemn promise,
And engaged herself TO peer.
Yes, there's the ring on her finger,
Glittering with diamonds bright;
She gazes at IL sadly
AS II flashes In the light;
And the thought, unbidden, arises
Which TO stife she vainly tries
"Oh, why did ever behold him,
And why Is II wealth that prize?"
Alas It is useless repining,
The fault or her life Is donei
And perhaps you may say 1t 10 foolish
10 sigh for a victory won
triumph for which she ia envled
BY rivals still lowering noar-

CHESTER, Pa, August 9.-Last night

ship yards, the large in America. 1t
was rapidly driven by strong east wind
to the punch sheds, large structure eX-
tending 600 feet along the Delaware
River. This was frame building aud

ing and its $50, 900 worth of machinery
were enveloped in flames. From them
the fire spread to the bending sheds and
foundry. Three cruisers ana large iron
merchant vessel almost completed were
bare saved from the flames. When
Roach arrived from New York, where he
had been showing the Congressional
Committee on ordnance through his eX-
tensive works, h. became very angry, at
tributing the disaster TO the neglec of
his special watchmcn and private fire
department. The loss is variously e,ti-
mated at from $500, 600 to 100000,
though Mr. Roach will not admit that it
is nearly so Ia &c. The 500 employees of
the burned department will not be thrown

HEENE, Tex, August 9.-Yesterday a

cries for help, looking desSa au Old
Wei, which was over thirty feet deep, he
discovered a nude negro woman, who
cried plteous'y for relief. The convict
went for assistance and then rescued the
woman. She was completely exhausted,
having been in the well four days and
nights. She SAYS that she was thrown
into the Well by a certain man, but re.
