THE YACHT RACE.
The Third Trial and the Cup Won by Tire
vigilant.

The Third Trial and the Cup Won by Tire
vigilant
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Vigilant
defeated the Valkyrie for third time
yesterday. after hard battle. A few
seconds before the starting gun was
fred both boats were flying for the
line, close hauled by the starboard
tack, the American boat little in the
lead with the Englishman off the
weather quarter.
1t was close call and for time it
looked as though the Vigilant would
be over first and handicap the Valkyrie
by half a minute. Skipper Hanson was
little too anxious, however, and had
to pay the penalty for this by being
forced over toward the eastern end of
the line. The result was loss to tie
American boat. for she had to huff in
order to weather the way.
The race was an exciting one from
start to finish and ut one time the
Vigilant seemed doomed to defeat.
The Englishman was leading by sew.
cral lengths, when a little split APP
peared on the inner reach Of the cut
ter's spinnaker. Larger and larger the
rent seemed to grow, and when il
had spread ten feet out, Capt. Gram
field was forced to take it in. In two
minutes another spinnaker of light
Irish linen was taken and quickly run
up.
1t was all in vain, however, for the
wind was blowing nearly half gale
and this light canvas was soon torn
into shreds. This crushed forever the
hopes of an English victory for one brief
day, for although balloon jib top-sail
was hoisted instead of spinnaker, the
Valkyrie fell astern and crossed the
line 500 yards behind the vigilant.

REAR END COLLISION.

The Disaster Caused by the Air Brakes
Falling to Work-Twclvs Killed and
Twenty-onc Injured.
JACKSON, Mich, Oct. 14.-As direct
result of the policy Of the railroads Of
the country in refusing low rates to the
worlds fair ut an early period, thus
forcing the people to go there in mass,
the lives were crushed out of twelve
passengers in IN instant at the depot
here and twenty-five persons were
MANNED, many Of whom will either
succumb to their injuries or be Grip
pied for life.
The Oswego special on the Michigan
Central railroad was made up into two

ago having delayed until this time in
the hope of securing better excursion
rates than had been offered heretofore.
The two sections were running only
few minutes apart.
The first section OF the special was
lying on the main track just east Of tho
depot here at $40 o'clock and the pas
sengers were either crowded into the
dining car or still asleep when the sec
ond section dashed up from be-
hind The air brakes refused to work.
The next moment the engine of the
second section crushed with awful
force into the rear. of the first section,

LUMBERMEN MUST LEAVE.
A Suspicion That They Cut Mississippi
Leveca to Fiont Their Logs.

A Suspicion That They Cut Mississippi
Levecs to Fiont Their Logs.
New ORLEANS, Oct IA. "A mass meet.
ing Of citizens of Concordia parish was
held last night to protest against the
presence Of the lumbermen and log
cutters in the parish. A strong suspi-
cion has always prevailed that the
lumbermen cut the levees in order that
the country may be overlooked, as that
helps them to float their logs off the
swamp. An overflow is a blessing to
them, for unless it comes their logs will
remain in the swamp until they rot
away The mass meeting denounced
those engaged in the business, and
all persons have been warned to de-
sist at once from cutting logs and to
leave the parish within three days at
their peril An executive committee
was appointed to see that the resolu.
tions adopted were carried out, and
they were authorized to call q posse
whenever it became necessary to en-
force their orders. The neighboring
parishes of Tensas, Madison and Con-
cordia in Louisiana and Chicot and
Desha counties in Arkansas were in.
vited to join in the movement and drive
out the log cutters. Nearly all of the
officials took part in the meeting. A
resolution was also adopted ordering
all labor agents engaged in soliciting
labor for plantations in this portion Of
the state to leave the parish at once at
their peril

THE UNION PACIFIC.
It Goes Into the Hands of Receivers "A
Very Quiet Proceeding.


II Goes Into the Hands OF Receivsrs-A
Very Quiet Proceeding.
OMAHA. Neb., Oct. lon plea In
equity filen in the United States dis
trict court here Judge Dundy APP
pointed s. H. Fl. Clark, E. Ellery An
derson of New York and Oliver w.
Mink of Boston receivers for the Union
Pacific Railway Co.
The application for a receiver was
made by the executors of the Frederick
T.. Ames estate-Oliver Ames, second,
Samuel Carr, Edwin +. Atkins and Pc
ter b. Wyckoff.
The announcement Of the application
and the appointing Of the receivers
came simultaneously just before 1
o'clock p. M.
The action was complete surprise
in every way, despite the fact that
there had been hints from time to time
that the system was not in good fnan-
cial condition.
Receiver Clark at once called upon
General Manager Dickinson for posses
sion of the property and it was turned
over to him with due formality and
record. Thus 5000 miles of rail and
! water line and the employment Of 3d.
600 men changed control.
The application and order in the fed
eral court were carefully printed, show
ing previous preparation.
The application was made by the ex-
ecutor of the estate of the late Frederick
l.. Ames and by Z. +. Atkins, heavy
stakeholder, and p. Wycoff, son-in-law
of the late Sidney Dillon, also repre-
senting a large block of stock. 1t re-
cited that owing to dull times, de-
pressed business and the approaching
maturity of bonds which the road
would be consequently unable to meet
it was deemed best for the protection
of all interests that the property should
be put into the hands of the court
where suits could not disintegrate and
impair the value of the system as q
whole.
The proceedings were very similar,
says GeneralSolicitor Thurston, to
those under which the Northern Pa
cific went into receivership. 1t was
necessary to keep the system together
and prevent separating it and lessen
ing it's earning power. Mr.. Anderson
represents the interest of the govern
ment.
The future of the road depends large
~ upon the prosperity of the country
and somewhat upon the course which
the government will pursue in dealing
with the debt that the road owes II
this debt is adjusted favorably it is
possible that after some years the sys-
tenn may be returned to the hands of
the owners.
This receivership, in Mr. Thurston's
opinion, is really beneficial. The time
had come when the road must be put
into condition for winter and for in
creased business and the receivership
will not have such depressing effect
as is usual in such proceedings.
General Manager Dickinson has no
titled all heads Of departments that all
officers, agents and employees will DO
retained until further notice. 1t is
stated that there are not likely to be
any important changes. Mr.. Dickinson
will stay in his place.
1t is predicted that no changes of pay
schedules asked for by the employees
will be granted and that it is not inn
possible that the cut of pay of schedule
men talked of in August, may be put
into force.

For Better Roads.

has some good points. Here are some
of the features of a bill introced by

a better system of road making;

News of this incident: years ago,
when the boys weot down the river
on RATS from this part Of the country,
the crew of one of the floats made an
agreement that they should select a
cook by lot, and the fret man who
found fault with the victuals was to
take up the task of cooking, and so
on through the trip. The first man
chosen was a good cook, and as there
seemed to be no chance for anyone
to kick he determined TO get out of
the work by loading the biscuit with
salt, depending on that to bring out
a protest. The biscuit was loaded
and the boys came 10 hungry to din.

aud filled his mouth. OF course he
threw it out and declared with great
vigor that the biscuit was id
salty but-remembering the agree.

The biennial struggle to get rail.
roads subject TO local taxation comes
up again in the bill introduced by
ex-Auditor Gen. Miles, Obviously,
the only fair way to tax a railroad is
to tax it as a whole or as nearly a
whole al its relations to the State per.
mits. That tax should be at a rate
large enough to make the railroad
pay what it justly ought to pay in
taxes and should be levied on its en-.
tire value ascertained 10 the only
way it a be accurately found, by
adding together the market value of
its stocks aud bonds. The revenue
obtained in this way from the great
transportation companies ought to be
sufficient to run the State, leaving all
other sources of taxation to the coun.
ties, cities, townships, and boroughs.
The lax bill passed by the last Leg.
islature is an advance on all it's pre-.
decessors and is working well. 1t
might be improved upon, but cannot
be on the lines laid down 10 Mr..
