CUP DEFENDERS At MARBLEHEAD.
Yachtsmen Waiting for the Jubilee and Phi.
grim Meet.


MARBLEHEAD. July 2a-One OF the promi-
mont yachtsmen Of the Corinthian Yacht Club
speaking Of the different types Of boats which
have boon built for the defence Of the America
cup. said that though he considered the Bris-
toll boats the more healthy sort OF craft. yet he
did not agree with the people who hoped that
one of them would be selected for that reason
to race the Valkyrie.
The question before the designers was how
to get the fastest boat. equal to the task Of
racing under the conditions Of wind and sea
which might DO expected at tho end OF our
yachting season. There was n o actual call for
what goes to make up good cruising qualities
in a boat. and II the new extreme types prove
fastest the fact that they are abnormal should
not prejudice their claim to the honor OF de-
Tending the cup.
And there is question whether the Pilgrim
with her extreme draft is more abnormal thar
boat with such n fearful rig as the Vigilant's.
One 10 as unwieldy to handle above as the
other is difficult to navigate below.
1t was the opinion OF the Corinthian yachts

while on the other hand it would give tho

Ono thing is sure. they cannot learn much
about each others speed by standing of and

ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING.
A Beautiful Octoroon Saved From Bold
and Unscrupulous Adxenturara

"A Beautiful OctoroOn Saved From Bold
and INSCRIPTIONS Adventures
BALTIMORE, April 26.-DunbarWalton
colored. alias Jacob Calhoun, and Louis
e. Frank. both of Georgia. were locked
up yesterday charged with attempt-
ing to kidnap Mamie Toomer, an heiress,
and the daughter OF Nathan Toomer, a
wealthy colored resident of Georgia
Calhoun afterwards furnished SO, 900
bail and was released. The attempted
abduction was the most daring. inciud.
Ing bribe offered Squire John Gensler
to issue fictitious summons for the ap.
pearance of the girl at court, when the
two men proposed carrying the girl off
as her father says, for immoral pur-
poses.
The girl, whom it is alleged that Cal
houn and Frank attem pied to kidnap. il
at st Francis Colored Catholic Orphan
Asylum and Academy. She is a we'll.
developed girl and is almost whi.o in
color. Tho casa is an in terosting one.
On March 10 the girl, Mamie Toomer,
was brought to this city by her father
and placed in the orphan atylum The
girl is about ID years Of age and pretty.
Her parents are wealthy; her step
mother, who was Maria L bank, having
recently been left fortune OF $40 coo
by white man in Atlanta, Ga
Mrs. Eubank applied 10 the Georgia
Legislature and had her name changed
to Dixon and then married Nathan
Toomer. Suit was instituted at the
time by which Mamie Toomer came
into possession of $50 900. Charles B.
Dixon, son of Mrs. TO ,mer and step
brother of Mamie, desired to marry her.
She did not object and her mother
favored the match. To prevent this
Toomer brought the girl here and placed
her in the asylum. 1t is said that Dixon
offered $4,000 to Toomer if he would
give the girl up. Walton and Frank
came from Augusta few days ago and
it is alleged, concocted the plan of issu-
ing fictitious summons for the girls
appearance at court; both were to bring
the girl from the institution, Frank act
ing as cab driver, and then kidnap her.
Toomer told Police Captain Baker that
his refusal to allow young Dixon to
marry his daughter was because he be.
lieves Dixon is already married. He
further stated that he believed Walton,
alias Calhoun, was agent for some white
parties. A writ of habeas corpus for
Mamie Toomer's release from the
asylum has been sued out.

The Belfast Riots.

BELFAST, April &c. Up to late hour
to night there had been no recurrenc CO
OF yesterdays rioting between Orange
men and Catholics. Several clergymen
and other persons addressed the Queens
Island workingmen during dinner hour
to-day. They urged the men not to take
any part in the disturbances. pointing
out to them that their cause would be
ruined If further rioting should break
out. The mayor had notice posted
throughout the city to-day appealing to
workingmen and citize ms to refrain
from marching throu gh the streets in
procession. AS result OF the confer.
ence between the mayor, the chief con-
stable and other city officials, extra DO.
lice were withdrawn from the streets
this even ing. The city to night appears
to have resumed it's usual aspect, al
rowdies the worst districts are patrolled
by troops.
