THE GREAT YACHT RACE.


The Latest PreparatIons-An Imposing
Fleet to Witness the Event.
The Puritan and the Genesta, the two
competing yachts for the Americas cup,
are now anchored in the ''Horse Shoe" in
side Sandy Hook, and surrounded by a
large number of club yachts. Their num-
Der will be augmented by nearly every
member of the yacht clubs of the New
England States. 1t is probable that every
yacht in sailing trim in this port will follow
the race, to say nothing of tugboats and
steamers. The races will be sailed under
the supervision of the New York Yacht
Club, and all sailing vessels as well
as steamers carrying guests will be re-
quired to oAey the regatta rules of the club.
The first race on Monday next will be
twenty miles to windward and back. 1t is
impossible to say just what the course will
be as that depends entirely upon the wind.
The start viii probably be made from the
Sandy Hook lightship. and it may be along
the Jersey coast, over toward the Long Is
land shore, or directly out to sea. The
yachts will be sent off at eleven o'clock or
as near that hour as possible.
The members of the Eastern Yacht Club
have chartered q steamer, provisioned her
for week and will remain on board until
the races are over. The race on Wednes-
day will be over the usual New York
course, the start being at Owls Head, and
should it be necessary to sail third race,
the course will be triangular one outside
of Sandy Hook. The Luckenback has
been selected as the judges steamer. The
police Patrol will be on duty on each of the
race days, and will keep all steamers from
forging ahead. so that the yachts may not
be interfered with.

He was booked. He is eighteen years
old and lives at 1873 York street. He made
resistance when the officer attempted to
search him, and it took four men to hold
him down, while the search was being
made. As the officer seized him, to put
him down stairs, he insisted on staying to
learn how much money had been taken
from him for safe keeping.
"a great kick for twenty cents, Sergeant
White remarked, to him as he was rushed
to the locker, below stairs.

a RIVER MYSTERY.
A Rescued Man Tells Two Stories About
a Missing Girl.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-At three o'clock
this morning William Murray, boatman
living at $40 First Avenue, walked into the
Nineteenth Precinct Police Station with q
Young man named John MCGOWAN, who
was dripping wet. The boatman had just
fished him out of the river at the foot of
East Fifteenth Street, having been awaken
ed by hearing cries for help. lie thought
he heard womans voice as well, but he
found only the man who was clinging to a
log. MCGOWAN told strange story. He
said that about an hour before he had
sauntered down on the pier footof Eleventh
street, and had there met young girl
who at once became very friendly. The
girl told him that she had been out boating
with man who had left her. She asked
him to take her out on the river again. He
complied, and they rowed up the river.
Opposite Fifty-second street they began
sskylarklng, and the boat upset. The girl
clllaq to him until both were exhausted, and
he was obliged to let her drown, but saved
himself by clinging to the log. The Ser
geant arraigned the prisoner in the York
vile Court later in the day. There Nc
Gowan said that he landed at Fifty-second
street. and walked up to First avenue, leay-
ing the giFl in the boat He returned and
found that she had disappeared, but tried
60 get into the boat himself and overturned
it in 20 doing. His mother refused to come
and see him, saying that she had had to
have him sent to prison and that he must
take the consequences OF his own acts.

Counselors Ryerson and Rowe just spread
themselves in Judge Stilsina's court yester-
day morning, over case Of common drunk
enness. They had Mrs. Goggin, of 512
Monmouth street, for subject. Mrs.
Goggin keeps an intelligence Office. The
intelligence, judging from appearances,
must have been wholly in the ofice-for
its proprietress has none. She is
seventy years old, and very garrulous. Her
husband and son were her accusers.

Court.
They swore that she had Just laid
down by the side of her bottle at home,
and drank and drank till exhaustion
wouldn't permit her to drink any more
Counselor Ryerson said that unless she
made nuisance Of herself to the public
she was not a common drunkard. She had
right to drink as much as she pleased as
long as she confined the amusement to her
own private apartments Then the son
swore that she appeared at the door once
or twice and drew a crowd, and had shouted
" murder and sspolice" Was she drunk
then Oh, yes Then the Court thought
that case had been made against the
woman. But two neighbors swore that
they had seen her every day for year, and
only once was she paralyzed. They couldn't
say whether she was drunk or not Then
the Court doubted if a case had been made
against her; and to the disgust of father
and SON, he discharged her.

man of lawyer Ryerson.

"But me son has pistol and says he'll
shoot me, returned the woman.
The son was called back and put on his
own recognizance not to kill her.

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 5.-The State As
sembly of the Knights of Labor adjourned
yesterday, after electing delegates to the
Grand Assembly at Hamilton, Ontario. The
names of delegates are kept secret. 1t is
claimed that nine-tenths Of the farmers in
Texas will belong to the alliance two years
hence; but outsiders say, if the policy of
Ignoring the Democratic party is not
speedily abandoned, the Knights will find
themselves hopelessly mistaken in the
Texas farmers. There exists wide differ
ence of opinion as to the wisdom of exclude
ing lawyers from membership. Consider
able uneasiness is felt in political circles
here over the immeasurable and silent fact
ors that the Assembly just adjourRed has

Defence of Ex-Principa1 Joslin.
Professors Edison, Poland and Haskell,
the newly appointed Superintendent of
Schools, Principal of the High School and
Professor of Latin and Greek all of whom
are from foreign States-arrived in town
yesterday morning, and were Informally re
ceived at the High School yesterday after
noon by the teachers of the High and
Training Schools. The reception consisted
simply of the introduction of the teachers
to their superiors and general hand
shaking all around. The only attaches OF
the Board of Education present were Presi
dent Walker and Clerk Curley. The lady
teachers were present in full force; they
are Mrs. Emma T.. Landrine, Principal of
the High School, teachers Adele Miller.
Marie l.. Bevier, Cornelia M. Wigent, Kate
Speer, Cora Withers, Mrs. Kate S. Durrie,
Principal of the Training School and
teachers Ella Richardson, Elvie Belts,
Blanche Halsey, Lulu Brown, Mrs. Alice
Rankin, Carrie Carpenter, Ella Boylan and
Libbie Inwright. There was general
handshaking all rround and at four o'clock
to casual observer the three strangers
were familiar figures among the group that
surrounded them. The TATTLER over
heard one of group of three ladies who
left the room, say:
"Good-by, Mr.. Edison l know I will
like you real we'll. Our Sup erintendent is
part of the High School in fact, we all
belong to you"
The reporter suggested that Mr.. Edison
had indeed assumed grave responsibilities.

Tomorrow morning all the schools will
resume their labors. and the three foreign
gentlemen will have practically become
part of our public school system.

Professor A. w. Edison, whose portrait is
presented above, is apparently man of
keen intellect. Heis very nearly six feet in
height, has rudy, broad features, and
looks as though some Celtic blood may flow
in his veins. He has hazel eyes, dark brown
hair, and heavy red mustache. He is
fluent conversationalist, and in converse
ton his face assumes an animated
expression. Mr.. Edison was born in Mon
tello, the County seat of Marquette County,
Wisconsin, in 1851, where he remained till
he was twelve years of age. In 1868 he
moved with his family to Vermont. In
1870 he graduated from the Randolph (Vt)
State Normal School, and in 1873 the
degree of Alb. was conferred upon him.
In 1881 Dartmouth conferred the honorary
degree of AM. upon the Professor. The
first year after leaving college he assumed
the principalship of the High School at
West Randolph, Vermont. After this, MI.
Edison taught in the public schools Of Yer
mont and Illinois, and from 1879 to 1884
he was principal of the State Normal School
at West Randolph, Vt. During the year
1884 Professor Edison was Superintendent
of schools at Attleboro, vt. While at the
latter place he had special occasion to
study the public school systems of Eastern
Massachusetts Boston, Quincy, and Dead
ham. Last June MIR. Edison conducted q
teAchers' institute at Seattle, Washington
Territory, for several weeks, having had
his expenses, etc., paid. He has wife
and three children, whom he expects to
bring here within the next mouth.
The TATTLER had hoped TO present a
photograph of Principal Poland in this is
sue, but the original drawing from which
the plate is made was received too late to
prepare, and therefore the sketch of that
gentlemap's life is reserved for next Sun
days issue.
Charles 8. Haskell, who succeeds Mr..
Sheppard, as Professor of Greek and Latin,
was born at Auburn, Maine, in 1856; he re-
ceiyed his early education at the grammar
and high schools in that place, and later, in
1881, graduated with honors at Batess Col
lege at Lewiston, Me- Before taking his
course at college-in the season of 1877
and 1878-he had charge of the High school
at Lewiston, Me. After leaving college, in
1881, he was for year principal of the
Lebanon, Me, Academy; he has been
principal of the grammar school, at Wey-
mouth, Mass. Professor Haskell is married
and has one child. He has already brought
his family on and resides with them on
Eighth street, opposite the Park. Mr..
Haskell is not in appearance over twenty
five, though q moments conversation with
him is sufficient to convince one that he
has been q faithful student. He is no
doubt well up in the studies he has been
selected to teach,

Found Unconscious in the Depot, and
Thought to be Drunk Till n Bottle OF
Laudauum was Found ON Her.
One of the sweeps in the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot called the attention of
Special Officer Joe Francis at four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, to woman who lean
ed heavily over on the arm of her seat.
Her head hung down, and those who saw
her, judged her hastily, and pronounced
her victim Of too much whiskey.
eff that woman don't go by this train, >
said the sweep to Francis. s'she won't be
able to go tonight at all.
Francis went to her and tried to speak to
her. She seemed to be in stupor from
which it was impossible to arouse her.
Station Master Keifer was called to see her.
and he advised that Policeman Reen be
brought in to look after her. The police
ma n was called. He reused the woman a
little. She stared around yacantly; but
when be tried to support her to the train,
he found she could not walk. A party of
the hands carried her to coach, and she
was driven to the police station. Their
she was searched A letter signed by Mrs.
f. A. Lockwood, of % Franklin st. Saratoga,
recommending Mary Ensign, was in her
pocket A ticket for distant point on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad and check for her
trunk were found in another pocket, and
finally small vial, half full of laudanum,
was produced The Sergeant concluded
that she was suffering from the effect of
the laudanum, and by the advice Of DR..
Rector, who was called, she was removed
to the City Hospital. The physicians there
related to the TArTLER, at eleven o'clock
last night, that she had not recovered from
the etfec!s of the opiate, and they had
doubt whether they could save her life.
She is about IS years old, and is probably
a servant girl 1t is said that she is dis
feartened. She has been unable to procure
employment, and was on her way to the
house of friends.
She lad been sitting in the depot for all
of half an hour before Francis's attention
was called to her. No one in the depot saw
her raise the bottle of laudanum to her
lips, and it is possible that she took the
dose before reaching this side of the river;
though, if she sought the depot for suicidal
purposes, it is not likely that she would
