French Vessel Sunk.
Farragut,s Famous Ship.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 17.--It is
probable that Admiral Farragut's old
flagship, the Hartford, will be reftted
and once more fly commission pennant
from her mainmast. The com
mandaut of the Mare Island navy yard
has received detailed plans and specifi-
cations for remodeling, rigging and re-
fitting the vessel, and these have been
in turn submitted to Commander Glass,
in charge of demonstration department
with instructions to prepare and forward
estimates of the cost of remodeling, rig
ging and refftting the Hartford. An ex-
animation of the engines and boilers of
the Hartford shows them to be in excel
lent condition, and with care and few
minor repairs she could be made ready
for service on short notice. Her new
battery will be modern.

COULDN'T GET MONEY.
A Kansas City Bank With Gilt-Edged
Securities Forced to the Wall.

KANSAS CITY, July 1.-THE Missouri
National Bank suspended payment and
closed its doors at 11.45 this morning.
The Grand Avenue Bank, a private insti-
tuition assigned this morning. The as
sets are placed at $780, 900 and the liabili-
ties at $4,000. The Grand Avenue
Bank holds ample gilt-edged securities
to meet obligations, it is claimed, and
the officials say they expect to resume
business shortly. 1t was rumored Satur-
day that this bank had closed, but it
appears the officials secured money suffi-
cient to tide them over until today, when
it was hoped some of their securities
could be realized on. On account of the
scarcity of money, however, this was i'm
possible. Confidence in the ability of
the banks to pay dollar for dollar is ex-
pressed by other bankers here, and no
excitement over the temporary suspen-
sion is manifested.

Died of Hydrophobia.

AS HBURY PARK, n. y. July 17.-Miss
Byram, aged 10, Of Newark, New Jersey,
died at her summer home here this
morning of hydrophobia, the result of a
bite from he rpet dog inflicted early last
April. The wound was very slight and
caused no blood to flow, and for this
reason it was not attended to. Early
Friday last, the young woman complained
of feeling badly and despite all efforts of
the attending physicians she died this
morning in terrific commissions. Hel
cries were most piteous. Early Saturday
Miss Byram showed signs of, hydro.
phobia. Wen she attempted to speak
the sounds uttered were similar to those
made by dog.

AN ELOQUENT PIKER.
Champ Clark of Missouri, Who Achieved
Fame by a Speech.

Champ Clark of Missouri, Who Achieved
Fame by a Speech.
Pike county, Mo-, has long enjoyed a
negative sort of fame, and the generic
name Of 'sPiker" used to be term of re-
proach in the far west. Now, however,
Pike has established it's claim to great
ness by giving to the nation the eloquent
Champ Clark, who achieved sudden fame
by a singularly audacious speech at
Tammany Hall on the Fourth of July.
Champ, by the way, is not a native
Piker, but was born near Lawrenceburg,
KY, on March 7. 1850. He has filled a
few Offices in Missouri and will repre-
sent the Ninth district of that state in
the coming congress at least. Inciden-
tally during his career he has done sew
eral things besides holding Office, such
as working on farm, clerking in. a
store, editing country paper and prac-
ticing law, all of which is deliberately
set forth in his little biography in the
Congressional Directory, as is also the
fact that on dec. IA, 1881, he was mar

THE CUP DEFENDERS.
The QUA tette of Big Boats and What is
Expected of Them.

New YORK, July 1.-THE Herald
says: The three trial cup defenders, Co
lonia, Vigilant and Jubilee, are being
given daily spins by their shippers under
the pers onal direction of their represen
tative owners, and in a short time the
Pilgrim, last of the quartette to be
launched, will also be under canvas and
tried on every available occasion. This
condition of affairs will continue until
the August cruise of the New York Club
when it is likely that all four will be at
the rendezvous off Glen Cove to take
part in the many races of that important
yachting occasion. 1T is quite certain
that the Colonia, Jubilee and Vigilant
will be there, and it is to be hoped that
it will be the same with the Pilgrim.
Regarding the latter, opinion is freely
expressed that she will prove to be a
tough customer, all holding to the idea
that if she is properly designed she must
be very hard to beat. This conclusion is
reached because she is fin keel.
The same feeling exists among the
friends of the other boats. The Jubilee,
say those who are well acquainted with
Gen. Paine, is fast as a ghost, and
sheis already showing speed enough to
make her strong candidate for the first
place in the trial races.
The Herreshoff productions, the
Colonia and the Vigilant, are being
talked of quite as much, if not more,
than the Boston boats. They have been
tuning up fOs some time, and much
should now be known of their good
qualities 1t is currently reported in the
