NANTAsKEr BEACH, Mass, Aug. e.
Mr.. and Mrs. William X. Millar, guests at
Haselmere Cottage on Centre Hill, were
bathing from the Atlantic bath house
yesterday, when Mrs. Millar ventured
beyond her depth and called for aid.
Her husband was rushing through the
water to her assistance when he was seen
to suddenly drop and sink. Aid was i'm
mediately sent to him, but before il
could reach him he was beyond human
help.
His body was quickly brought to the
beach and all efforts made to restore him
to consciousness, but without avail.
Medical Examiner j. Winthrop Spooner
gave IL as his opinion that Mr.. Millar was
seized with paralysis of the brain, and
the excitement caused by his wife's dan
ger would probably have resulted fatally,
even had he not gone into the water.
Mr.. Millar was son OF John l.. M Millar,
the optician, who was for many years To-
Gated on the corner of Milk and Wash
ington streets in Boston. Mr.. Milar
was 46 years Of age and lived in Waltham
in his early life. Upon the death of his
father some years since, he succeeded to
the business, the Arm now being Millar
and Welshe, located at 3S West street,
Boston.
Mrs. Millar was rescued by bystanders.

SAPPHIRE, OFF NEWPORT, 10 AN
1t is the most perfect day for yacht
race that has been had here for the past
five or six years. There seems every
prospect OF fine breeze, steady from the
southwest, which will make the course,
Block Island, triangular (as near as may
be equilateral) twenty-five nautical miles,
the first leg being dead to windward.
1t is wonderfully pretty sight as Capt
Barber's pretty steam yacht Sapphire
leads the way out to Brenton's Reef
Lightship. The beadlands around old
Fort Dumplings and along the shores of
Conanicut are black with the summer
residents of jamestown while quite a
number of carriages are seen around
Beaver Tail Lighthouse;
On the other shore Newports famous
ocean drive Is lined wi h drags and car
riages filled with ladies, as is evidenced
by the numerous sunshades flashing in
the sun.
The three contestants, Harpoon, Wasp
and Gloriana, are already ouo and ready
for the fray, circling round for position at
the start. A very large number OF yachts
are coming out. Commodore Gerry's pa
latial Electra with a large number Of
guests aboard has just passed, the two
fagships exchanging salutes.
Next is seen the beautiful white yacht
Conqueror, with the Vanderbilt brothers
and other miIlionaries aboard. Then in
order come the Magnolia, Fairman
Rogers; Sakonnet. L. w. Sheldon, all
with guests OIL the quarter decks Other
yachts seen are steamers Preble. Luita,

girls. Besides these there are score or
more of small crafts from Newport and
up the river. 1t IN an ideal day for the
race and the contest will be one without
favor and the best boat ought to win.
Very little money is offered against the
Harpoon which Is the favorite. but be-
tween the Gloriana and the Wasp tn ere
is large pot of money up and the result
will be watched with great interest.

ter Sargent arrived here at o'clock this
morning, and with Grand Chief Tele-
grapher Thurstoa. who arrived Saturday
night, fills out the coterie Of the heads of
railway organizations now in this city.
Mr.. Sargent 81 ates that he came in re-
sponse to kilograms from the heads Of the
locomotive hremen and also from the
switchmen.
This morning in resp ,nse to the ques-
tion Suppose the switchmen are de-
feated in this strike 2" He replied IF
they are, In the future the firemen, engi-
neers and switchmen will be entirely
ignored II they were to 20 to their su-
periors to ask for any changes"
IL would be "A severe blow to organized
labor and the rights Of workingmen. IL
the fremeu decide to strike, 1t Will be
strike of sympathy only.
The firemen are masters of the situation
to-day and 1T is for Grand Master Sargent
to say whether the present strike shall
collapse or spread. The day has been one
of negaton largely. Two very unfor-
tunate affairs have done much to turn
public sympathy against the switchmen.
One was the derailing of the Erie train
Saturday night and the other was the
capture last night of Daniel Cahill, who
confessed himself striking switchman.
William Kaye, a non-union man, was
turning n switch at the Lehigh junction,
East Buffalo, when Cahill set upon him
and assaulted him.
The timely arrival OF the guard alone
saved the mans life. Cahill was arrested
aid turned over to the police. He said he
was striker and that ne committed the
act because he felt that man who took
his place deserved to suffer for It,
These assaults have caused immeasura-
BILE damage to the strikers. Whatever
hope they once had of getting rid of the
troops early has been dashed aside. and 1t
will be fortunate indeed IL some lives are
not sacrificed before peace will reign here
again. Scarcely an hour passes that
some guard Is not revied in shocking
language or struck with a stone.
Geu. Porter says: 1.-The soldiers are in
suited by noodlums, non-uuion men are
bea en-. cars are uncoupled, and all the
symptoms of incipient riot are present. liz
the troops were not here / am satisfied
that the companies would be practically
powerless in the enforcement OF their
rights, and, what is paramount to every
thing else. that the laws would be set at
defiance"

FARMERS AS ROBBERS.
They Were Caught and Will Soon
Turn Convicts.
A PAL GAVE AWAY THEIR GAME.
They Carried Out Their Plan in Pro-
fcssional Manner but Posse Was In
Waiting and Pounced Upon Them
Before Morning.

WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 22.-The st. Louis
and San Francisco railroad passenger
train which left here at 1870 o'clock Sat-
urday night, was held up. aud the Wells
Fargo express car robbed by four masked
men near Augusta, Butler county, about
midnight. Before 8 o'clock yesterday
morning the outlaws were captured with
q part OF their booty.
As the train slowed up at the Santa Fe
crossing about mile east OF Augusta,
two masked men mounted the locomo-
tive and covering the engineer and fire.
man with guns, ordered them to stop
the train. The train came TO standstill
express car. The engineer was then
compelled to pull out with the car mile
away from the train.
While two highwaymen watched the
locomotive crew, the Others went to the
express car, demanded admittance and
commenced to shoot through the sides OF
the car in which were Express Messenger
Shift and baggage man. The impris-
oned men soon gave In.
The Wells Fargo Company has Just
taken hold Of the Frisco lines and it's
men have not yet received their arms, SO
the express messenger had nothing with
which to protect the car but small re-
VOiVtT. 0nluL was sOICeu 10 open kuo
safe and the robbers ransacked every
thing, getting bet ween fifteen and twen-
ty packages OF money. The whole thing
was over in about 80 minutes and then
the robbers left the locomotive after FIR
ing few shots.
The outlaws did not attempt to rob tho
passengers and the latter knew nothing
of the robbery until all was over. The
amount of money secured cannot be as
certained. but il probably did not exceed
eight thousand dollars. The robbery was
committed by four farmers living near
Douglass, Butler county.
Sheriff Nipp OF Cowley county, was in
formed that such q scheme was on foot
by the fifth mem Der OF the gang early in
the week and while he could not discover
when the robbery was to take place, he
had posse in waiting. When he got
word Of the hold-up he pounced on the
outlaws.
The robbers were new at holding trains
but they did their work like profession
ais. Had they robbed the east bound in
stead OF the west bound train they would
have secured large amount OF money.
