THE WHITE WINGED RACERS. Second of the Series of the Corlnth-
 ian Races Sailed in Rowling
 Breeze.
 MAlLEHEAD. Aug. 26.-In 8 bowling northeast breeze and rough sea the second of the series of the Oorinthian midsummer races was sailed to-day. The wind was blowing fully twenty miles an hour at the time of the start, and the judges decided to send them to windward, making the course ten miles to windward and return. The Kara, under the management of Captain Tom Sloane, late of the Gorilla and Liris, was first to cross the line, followed by Tomahawk, Minerva, Pap poose, Chiquita, Gorilla and Alice. The Minerva had but just got under way when she lost her bowsprit and a few minutes lat ter the Tomahawk lost her throat-halyards and tore away her main sheet block, with drawing from the race. The Kara, which carried all her lower sails and gaff-topsail, sped away like race horse, tacking to star board at 11:19, and was obliged to keep off and the Chiquita, her nearest competitor, passed to windward. At 11:15 the 50-footers were sent away. the Harbinger taking the cen and Shark. Just after passing half way rock Kathleen went by Harbinger, and soon after Saraden took second place. The Shark passed the Cape boats and the Harbin- ger and Mignon were left to fight it out. At l1:2O the 27-foot class got away with Posy leading the lone and Agnes little ways be- hind, with the Swordfsh, Moondyne, Wan- da, Echo and Madge following. The lone soon took the lead and did some fine wind ward work, out-pointing the fleet.
 On the run home the Ohiquita held the lead and finished at 2:32:39. The Gorilla finished at 2:14:38 the Kara coming in next at 2:17:45 and the Pappoose at 2:24:16. The Alice did not finish. In the 30-footer class the Saracen cut the lead of the Kathleen and Shark made gain of one minute. The Kathleen finished at 2:57:03, with the Sara- cen at 2:59:3O. The lone was the first to finish of the 27-footers with plenty of time to spare, the Swordfsh finishing seven and half minutes later. The race was intense ly interesting throughout, the wind holding good. The Posy lost man overheard and after rescuing him, put into Gloucester. Fol- lowing is the summary:

Terry,s Friends May Avenge His
 Death.
 SAX FRANc1sco, Aug. 26.-Distriot Attor- ney White of San Joaquin, who left Stock ton in order to evade delivery of the State Attorneys letter authorizing him to dismiss proceedings against Justice Field, was e1- peoted here last night.
 The letter now lies in the Stockton post office, and counsel for Judge Field say that if White does not get it they will have the case taken out of his hands. The friends of White say he is justified in the course he is pursuing by the grave charges of conspiracy which Field brought against him last week in his legal traverse.
 Sarah Althea publishes bitter letter de- nouncing Attorney General Johnson for his interference.
 Judge Sawyer, it is said, has grave doubts of the power of the Federal courts to inter- fere in the Nagle case, and that Terry's slay- CT will have to be tried in the State courts at Stockton.
 It is rumered that Terrys adherents will shoot Nagle if he is taken back to Stock ton. The attacks of Justice Field on Sarah Althea and his evident desire to protect Nagle has somewhat turned the sentiment against Field.
 STOCKTON, Cal, Aug. 26.-District Attor- ney White appeared before Justice of the Peace Swain this morning and moved to dis- miss the warrant issued against Justice Stephen J. Field charging him with being 8 party to the killing of David s. Terry, and which had been sworn out by Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry. This action of the district at torney was based on a letter of the attorney general of the State to the district attorney | directing that such course should be fol- ! lowed

 Saturday afternoon about four o'clock MT. A. P.

 Nr. H. knew how to swim and after severe struggle succeeded in reaching the shore. Mr. Hoyt says he has no objections to taking "header," but would prefer to have it vol- untary.

PestiIence-Breedi Matter Being Kx-
 posed and Bodies Ssill Being Found-
 Trouble in Identifying she Dead.
 JonNsrowN, Pa., Aug. 2G.-The water in the river is getting very low here, and as 8 consequence great deal of pestilence-breed- ing matter is being exposed. The stensh along the river bank is becoming unbearable and especially aleng the point and near the stone bridge are the odors very nauseating There are quite likely many dead bodies in the sand along the bank and also in the bot ton of the river. The body of child was taken out of the sand near the stone bridge to-day.
 Through the carelessness of some of the employees the graves of victims in Grand View cemetery do not correspond to the numbers of the morgue records. This was painfully illustrated to-day when James w. Shumaker, a prominent merchant of the town, identified some jewelry as belonging to his wife, and when the grave corresponding to the number wes opened the body was found to be that of man. The bodies here were buried in trenches and MT. Shumaker has had over thirty bodies in one trench lift ed to-day, hoping that he might find his wife. At the Prospect Hill cemetery much more care was taken and every grave corre- spends to the description on the morgue hoOka

MRS. BARRY,s FORTRESS.

MRS. BARRYsS FORTRESS. Bartering Hams of No Avail-Threat-
 ened With Artillery. She Denes
 Balfour.
 LONDON, Aug. 28. Mir. Balfour has job on his hands on an estate near Mitchellstown which promises to give him no little trouble. The landlord, with the aid of the police, has been for week trying to eviot Mrs. Jane Barry, a widow, whose husband died less than e year ago. She cannot pay the rent and does not propose to move, and as the house she occupies with her children is the once famed Castle of Mononimy, with walls seven feet thick, against which the battering rams of the police are of no avail, she bids the landlord and bailiffs defiance. After hammering away at the old castle with their ram for forty-eight hours the police sent word to Mrs. Barry by the parish priest that unless she surrendered they would bring up battery of artillery and Lombard her fortress. To this threat the plucky little widow replied they might do as they pleased, but she would not vacate. Af this occurred last Thursday and no artillery has yet made it's appearance, it is presumed | that the threat was only bluster. The police have now settled down to a regular siege o1 | the castle, expecting to starve out the in. mates.

PITTsnURa, Aug. 26.-A combination of eastern capitalists has been formed to pur- chase all the coal property along the Monon- pahela River and control the river coal busi- ness. There is scarcely doubt that the deal will go through. Several quiet meetings of the heavy operators have been held lately and none of the largest concerns have placed prices on their plants. It has been decided that it will require SIS, 3,OO0,000 to swing the deal, including the aggregate of stock the sellers are willing to take. The heaviest firms who have given options are Walton . Co.,, Brown & Sons, Thomas Fawoett & Sons, Wood & Co.,, Grand Lake Co.,. Horner & Roberts, George Lyele & Sons and Sneathen & Wilson. It is estimated that the company will save $250, ,O00 per year in the expenses of shipping and mining the coal.

Both injured men were removed to Elmer geney hospital and later Smith was taken to the general hospital. Devana was arrested and locked up in the police station, being toe drunk to give any account of the affair.
