Columbla,s Annual Regatta.

NEW YORK, May 3.-The Columbia col
 lege annual regatta occurred to-day. The
 Tribune thus describes the race:
 The start was made from a point near
 High bridge. The sophomores seemed to
 have the best of the start and '89, which had
 the toughest water, splashed greatly. But
 the crews soon got down to hard work. Ninety and '91 were struggling for the mas- tery and the seniors had their little tussel with the freshies. But it did not last long. The juniors steadily went ahead and at the New York City and Northern bridge were a length ahead of their antagonists, while it was nip and tuck between 's9 and '92. From this point the race became procession with go in lead, steadily increasing the distance to three lengths at the finish, opposite the boat house. Ninety one put nearly the same amount of water between it's own boat and seniors. The contests between the latter crew and the freshmen was one of the pret- f tiest features of the race. The distance about one and two-third miles was covered in 9:20, | about 50 seconds better than it was done by l the same class year ago.

AN ARDENT WO0ER.

Young Man Unable to Win a Girls
 Love Attempts to Force Her 60 Marry Him.
 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 3.-A great sen sation was caused here yesterday by the kid mapping of Miss Minnie Harper, 8 beautiful girl of Is, by Richard Southard,a a man of 65 He has lived near the Harper residence about three miles from this city, for some months and has been attracted by the young girl and made every effort to gain her friendship, but she would have very little to do with him. This had the effect of spurring him to more ardent wooing, but without avail The maiden turned deaf ear to his entreaties and refused to favor his suit. He determined to accomplish by storm what he could not do by strategy, and 8 most elaborate plan was laid for her capture. He came to this city last Saturday and procured marriage license and 32-cslbre revolver. Armed with these he went back to the camp and awaited his chance. Wednesday morning he succeeded way to the house. He approached and asked her to marry him, which she re. fused to do. He then leveled the revolver at her head and compelled her to follow him to the woods where they remained until night. Her friends missed her and suspicion was aroused. Her father, two brothers and a neighbor, armed with rifles, hunted for them in the woods. Southard fired at them but missed and was stoned into submission and the girl was taken home, almost dead with fright She says they were coming into the city to have the marriage ceremony per- formed when she was rescued. Southard claims the girl will marry him if allowed to, and says he will marry her yet. Another at tempt to kidnap her is feared.

Dangerous Use of Strong Purgatives

Most pills, purgatives and Bitter Waters, which act quickly upon the bowels irritate and often de- stroy the mucous coats of the stomach and bowels Indeed their cathartic action is directly caused by the irritation of the bowels, which they produce Their action should be soothing and stimulating instead of irritating. continued use of such remedies produces chronic inflammation of the disease. The use of the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly recommended as an aperi- ent, laxative and iuretic because it's action is due solely to it's solvent and stimulating properties It soothes and ellays inflammation, and is therefore much preferable to all strong purgatives and Bitter Waters.

PARNELL REPKovED O,BRIEN.

He FreSuentIy Protested Against the
 Great Editors Violent Style. LosDoss, May 2--The-- ross-sxannination of MT. Psrnell before the Parnell commis-
 sion was resumed to-day. He said he had often reproved MT. William 0'Brien for the violent character of the articles published in
 his paper. United Ireland. Witness had not publicly repudiated them because it was not the way to effect the alterations he de- sired.
 Witness was asked whether, if secret socie- ties adverse to the league had existed and if a vast majority of the people had belonged to the league, there would not have been ample evidence obtained to convict the perpetrators of outrages, but parried the question by say- ing that that might or might not have been the case. Here occurred the most remarkable incident in the witness cross examination. Attorney General Webster quoted a statement made by MT. Parnell in the House of Com- mons during the debate on Mir. Forster's bill in 1881 suspending the writ of habses corpus, to the effect that secret societies had then ceased to exist in Ireland. "Did you believe that when you said iti" asked the attorney general.
 "No," replied Mir. Parnell. "At any rate it was a grossly exaggerated statement'' There was buzz of surprise throughout the court room at this reply. "Did you or did you not" continued the attorney general, intend to mls-State the fact when you made that statements" 'I have no doubt did," was the reply. The attorney general-"Deliberately MT. Parnell-"Yes, deliberately" The attorney general-"You deliberately made the statement, knowing 1t to be uu- truei"
 MT. Parnell-"Yes; or if not true, very extravsgsnt and boastful." The attorney general-"And you have never since withdrawn iti' MT. PaInell-''No, I have not" The nonchalance with which the witness made these admissions astonished the audi- encs and elicited misses. Probably" added MT. Parnell. ''the states ment was meant to mislead the house. I am afraid it did not, for the bill was passed. My purpose was to exaggerate the effect the league had in reducing the number of secret societies"
 "The league undoubtedly diminished the number of secret societies, though it had not swept them away as stated" MT. Parnell was next asked what had be- come of the land leagues books. He explain ed that some were brought to London and were before the commission. The cash.books and ledgers had disap- peared, he did not know where. Neither were Treasurer Kenney, Mir. Egan, or any other of the league officials able to tell what had become of the books. The letter-books and files of letters had also vanished. Presiding Justice Hannen had impressed upon the witness the fact that the court attached great importance to the missing documents, and MT. Parnell promised to try I to find them.
