Puritan and Geneata

Both yachts were under way at 1915 yester-
day and moved down to tho starting point to sail
tho race postponed from Monday. No time was
lost in preliminary arrangements, as both were
eager to start in the splendid breeze which fresh
ened every moment. The starting signal should
have been given at 1875. At 1874, just as tho
Genesta reached point whcro she could cross the
line close to the lishship, she tackled to starbosrd
The Puritan, which had been about 200 yards to
windward Of her when sho was OH tho port tack,
evidently thought she would cross her opponents
bow, for she Kept right along gu the port tack.
Both were travelling at least six knots an hour,
aud approached each other at right angles very
fast. Once the Puritan's helm was put up for a
moment but finding it too late it was put hard
down. and the sloop shot up into the wind, right
under the Genesta's lee; then, instead OF filling
away on the starboard tack her wheel was put
| up and she shot across the Gcnesta's bow. The
Puritau's hull had all cleared the cutter, when
suddenly the latter's bowsprit end plunged into
the clew of the Purtan's maiDsail close to the
boom, making a hole about two feet square. The
foot ind leach ropes held the bowsprt as the Puri.
ten dashed ahead, and in q moment it snapped OIL
close to the stem head making wreck of the
head sails and gear and dropping overheard. No
one was injured. As far can be learned the
Puritan was at fault in foulng but it might have
teen avoided by the Genesta if she had acted diff
ferentiy.
After the yachts camo to an anchor the COM
mittce boat went alongside the disabled cutter
"Wc have ruled tho Puritan out" said Mr.. Tams,
addressing Sir Richard Sutton, land you may sail
the race if you wish" 1--WE are much Obliged,
| replcd sir Richard Sutton, "but we can't do it,
We don't want it that way. We don't want a
walk over. We want race"
After consultation with the committee, the
owners Of the Puritan agreed to send a letter to
Sir Richard Sutton acknowledging their mistake,
and agreeing to pay whatever the damage amount
| cd to.

RED HoT's SLAYER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Husitt, who killed Augustus Bryant, alias
Red Hot formerly of this city, at Rock
Point. Nd, saturday, was arrested by the
sheriff early on Sunday and taken to the
Port Tobacco Jail, where he is now confined.
Bryant was buried just outside the Catholic
cemetery, near Lancaster's wharf At Rock
Point. on Monday, an inquest was held on
tho body of Bryant, when the evidence
showed that Charles Hugitt, who had never
been engaged as bartender, but was engag-
cd in building house, had a dispute with
Bryant at store about mile from Lancas-
ter's wharf, and that the killing was over a
game of cards. and was in response to q
taunt by Red Hot that the other had not
blood enough in him to carry out threat
made in the course of the alteration. HUI
gift had a knife. Bryant said: Going to
"you have pistol" "There is my pistol"
said Bryant, suiting the action to the word
and holding it cut. Hugitt took the pistol.
and after o word shot Bryant through the
heart. Bryant put his hand on his breast
and fell dead without q word. The jury
fouad that Bryant came to his death by be-
ing murdered by Hugtt." The statement
that the sale Of liquor continued after the
tragedy, and with the dead mans body ~
ing uaer, is incorrect, as the store where the
shooting occurred was closed Immediately,
and remained closed until Monday.

The CHARGES AGAINST A. w. HARRIS
Last February the board of directors OF the
Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute
composed entirely of colored men, excep
Judge Buford, of Brunswick, found A
W. Harris, secretary, guilty on charges Of
mafeasance in office, preferred by r. l.
Mitchell, treasurer of the institution. After
making their report, the board was dissoly-
cd by Gov. Cameron and new board ap.
poiuted in their stead, composed entirely Of
colored men, except Superintendent Farr,
president er oGcio. The Petersburg Index.
appeal says Tho board net yesterday.
r. L. Mitchell, who had previously pre-
ferred the charges against Harris appeared
and renewed his charges, stating that Har-
ris had forged his (Mitchell's) name to
notes and checks amounting to 81, 300, and
that furthermore Harris had also drawn q
note for 5000, signing thereto the name
of Major Harrison Waite, the architect.
Mitchell, upon whose authority these state
ments were made, further said that he un-
derstood fully that the republican party in
this State intended to make him the scape-
goat for Harris offences, but that the docu-
mentsry proof against Harris would show
that he himself ought to be exonerated aud
thatHarris ought to be responsible for the en-
beZZIement in question. Mitchell CLAIMS
that the reinvestigation of the question is
due to political exigences and that if a state
election were not impending, he would net
have been called upon to further make .
statement in the matter. He says that
several Of the most prominent republican
politicians in the State are equally interested
With Harris and that fair hearing of the
casr is not possible unless there be judicial
investigation Both Harris and Mitchell
we're former residents Of this city.
