Broken Boom andLoss ofLoes

MoRGANTowN. w. Va, Feb. Late
last night the lower boom at the M outh
of Cheat Point, Marion county, gave
way to the tremendous pressure of ice
and logs, and 5000 logs, belonging to
Dewing & Co., who operate tho largest
lumber cutting establishment on that
noted timber stream. were let loose In to
the Monongahela. The ice gorge, which
had also been kept in check by the
boom. went with the logs, which makes
strong element of improbability for
securing the timber this side Of Pitts
burg. as, being mixed with the ice, the
logs cannot be reached by boats. The
logs for tho most part are poplar and
the average price of log foated from
head watera to the mouth of Cheat is
about 20 each. This will make a heavy
loss to the firm. The logs above their
upper boom remain intact When the
boom burst, followed by the rush of logs
and ice, some fears were entertained re-
garding the piers for tho Baltimore and
Ohio extension bridge across Cheat
which are not yet completed. but they
escaped unframed, which demonstrates
that no force of the Cheat will ever
again be feared for them. The ice is
now all out of Cheat and Monongahela.

stream.

FATAL RloTING IN BOGoTA.

Artisans and Laborers Mob the Officers of
Newspapers That Have Criticised Them.
PANAMA, VIA GALVESTON, Feb l.
The artisans and laborers of Bogota
united on Sunday in the streets and
mobbed the offices OF newspapers
which recently have criticised them Sc.
verely. They destroyed the presses,
pied the type, killed five com positors
and mortally wounded two editors. The
mob then tried to set fire to the offices,
but was held at bay by the police until
the National Guard could be summoned.
Tho militia and the police charged the
rioters, and, after a stubborn fight, dis.
persed them. Several rioters were Sc
verely wounded and many were arrested.
The riot had no political significance.

picturesque yagabonds, attracted by the
festivities, will be permitted to camp
within the Walls. and the homes and shops
in the large marketplace, between the
gate and the Ranthaus, will all be in gala
array.
@ The period to be represented is one al
which guilds fourished and the Meister-
singers composed their laborlous music.
They will all be there from the greatest
to the least of them, those half-mythical
buTgomasters. The tailOrs, in the dress of
the sixteenth century tailors. selling their
cloths IN the shop on the market place,
will be represented walking in the process
sions behind a huge green banner, in
scribed with scissors and other emblems of
the tailors' craft.
The confectiOners, the weavers, the gar
deners. the bakers, the players. the haber-
dashers and half a dozen other trades will
all be represented by shops in the market
place and by craftsmen wearing the cor
rect sixteenth century dress Of the various
guilds. Perhaps it wOsld be too much to
say. however, that only sixteenth century
articles will be for sale in the stores.
Some Of the most distinguished per-
soDageS of history will miDgIe with the
throng. Hans Sachs, the famous singing
shoemaker, may possibly be represente
by a barytone capable OF rendering the
music that wagner mas put Into the mouth

In addition TO the pleasure Of looking at
q sixteenth century city in full working
order, there will be numerous entertain
ments. 1t is expected that the first even
ing amusement will begin with a grand
procession of over 800 participants in the
fair, all in fancy dress. Even Cassasa

is done so as to give each judge control Of
one goal and one side.
The width of the goal will be sufficient
to admit of all the yachts freely.
The ball will be an OK bladder Inflated
and covered with canvas or some material
that will serve the purpose, painted white.
The ball is struck with a bat. which
must not be over 10 feet long, perfectly
straight, and at the end have a flattened
ball not over 4 inches in diameter and 2
inches thick. The end of the handle of
these bats has a knob or hook to keep
them from slipping from the batter's
hands. The rules say that the batters
must strike or strike at the ball from the
starboard side of the yacht, for if they
should strike it from any other port of the
yacht it would be foul.
One man only is allowed to strike the
ball on each yacht at the same time, and
no other of the crew Is permitted to strike
or interfere with the ball. However, any
one of the crew may be assigned to this
duty.
The sailing rules are that each yacht
shall keep 10 starboard of the ball when
the bow of the boat is turned toward the

The University Handicap Tourna-

The tennis tournament for the cham
pionship of the handicap singles of the
University of California commenced yes
terday at the Berkeley court. The game
was called at $50 in the morning and
lasted until nearly dark. The sets which
remained unfinished will be played this
week.
Some very good playing was done during
the day, and especially during the morn
ing session. The contestants seemed
rather worn out as evening approached,
although to the last the games were most
bitterly fought out.
Most Of the interest was centered in the
contest between SanbOrn and Rountree,
but the latter carried the laurels on every
side and proved himself to be a player of a
high standard.
Following is the official score of the
games as far as completed:
Third class-First set: Honig VS..
Sutro Won by the latter. Score, 3-6,

Second set: Crawford defeated McClev-
erty, besides defeating the winner of the
first set by score of 6-3. 6-S. Ga
The first class comprised the game be-
tween Rountree and Sanborn. This was
a most interesting contest and after a
hard fight Rountree defeated his opponent
by a score of Go. 7-5. Rountree then
played with Byxbv. winning again. The
score was 6-3 So, Is.
Rountree now holds the championship
of the university. and Judging from his
skill he will undoubtedly mold it against
all comers.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS

OUR COLONIAL HoMES.-In no sect len
of the Union are antiquities preserved with
greater veneration than in New England,
and no city is so rich in memorials Of the
early stages of civilization on this CONT
nent as Boston. In the city itself and its
neigh bOrhood are still to be seen numer-
Gus architectural relics of the days before
the revolution. TO describe these old
buildings and to chat pleasantly of the
families who made of them their homes
has been the task of Samuel Adams Drake.
He has considered each of these ancient
homes as one of the bricks belonging to
the American foundation. All have their
interesting story, their admirable lesson
OF patriotic inspiration. The Governor
Cradock house, built in 1884. Is still stand
ing in good state of preservation at Med
ford. 1t was probably the first brick
house erected within the government of
John Winthrop. 1t was made to with
stand assault from without, and in one of
the early Indian wars of the Massachusetts,
colony was beleaguered for several days. 1t
is gratifying to know that steps have been
taken to preserve this building and se-
cure it from demolition at the hands of
too progressive citizens. The home of
Paul Revere is still standing in the North
End of Boston. and from its portals the
gallant fellow started on his memorable
ride to Lexington on that April evening in
1775. Another old dwelling which the
genius OF Longfellow has immortalized-
the "Wayside Inn"-is still in good state
Of preservation at Sudbury. Among other
houses described, most of which are still
standing. are the Quincy mansion. the
Adams mansion, the Old Witch House at
Salem, the birthplace Of General Israel
Putnam; the last residence of James Otis,
at the door OF which thunderbolt struck
him down ; the Minot Homestead and the
"Old Snip" at bingham. While the en-
cravings representing these ancient home 8
