The Thirteen superstition.

It is said this strange superstition extends away back to the time of King Arthur. When the good British king founded the famous Round Table he requested Merlin, the enchanter, to ar range the seats. Merlin arranged one set of seats to represent the apostles; twelve were for the faithful adherents of Jesus Christ and the thirteenth for the traitor Judas. The first were never occupied saveb by the knights dis tinguished for their achievements, and when a death occurred among them the seat remained vacant until a knight surpassing him in heroic and warlilSe attainments should be consid- cred worthy to fill the place. If an unworthy knight sought the vacant chair he was repelled by some magic power. The thirteenth seat was never occupied but once. The story goes that
 a naughty and insolent Saracen knight sat down upon it and was immediately swallowed up by the earth. Ever af ter it was known as the ''perilous seat" and, brave as the celebrated knights of the Round Table are said to have been, not one ever had the courage to sit on the thirteenth chair and the superstition against it still survives.

POINTS ABOUT YACHTS.
The Prince Of Wales Britannia
 Not a Success.
Although Built at Great Expense and with Remarkable Care the valkyrJe
 Beat Her Easily - The
 Yachts Compared.

It rather looks as if the prince of
 Wales yacht will not do. Dunraven's
 Vallsyrie is certainly her superior, and
 the Valkyrie is not allowed by the
 critics to have any too good an Ameri-
 ca's cup chance.
 The Britannia's appearance under
 canvas was rather imposing, her bold
 fore body suggesting considerable power, while her long after end gave
 quite a graceful appearance to the hull.
 She floats to submerge about four feet
 of her counter, which fact accounts for
 the supposition that she was the
 shorter load water-line boat Both her
 main boom and her load line are eighteen inches to two feet in excess
 of the Valkyrie, and the Fairlie de- signed boat will come in between them, but on account of her smaller sail plan will rate lower down bit and have an allowance.
 A Scottish critic says of the new yachts: "The Valkyrie without doubt is the most out and out thoroughbred racing craft of the new Scotch crea- tions. I cannot say that fancy it for appearance as much as I do the Cal luna, but, taking it all in all, it is the vessel of the three which strikes one of that combination of power, speed and rakishness which suggests the suc- cessful racing cutter. It has a finely drawn-out forebody, terminating in an overhang which looks like cross be- tween the Calluna and the Britannia. It has lower side than the latter, and
 especially abaft the mast its freeboard gets beautifully less and terminates in counter where there will be no more weight carried than is necessary for getting an after overhaul sufficient fo1 immersion. It is not sawed off, o1 course, but the counter is near the water and is a nice study, sort o1 V-shaped stern.
 "Fair on, and looking at the VallSyrie from aft, she is at once recognizable as the narrowest and deepest of the three boats. She is more in accord with he1

OVER A HUNDRED DEAD.
Appalling Disaster in a Rus
 sian Church.

A False Alarm of Fire Created a Panic,
 and One Hundred and Thirty-Six Dead
 Bodies Were Taken Out.
 ST. PETERSBURG, June 22.-While the ancient church of Romano at Borisoglebsk, on the Volga, was crowded with pilgrims from all parts of Yaroclav, who had come to take part in the annual church proces- sion, panic was caused by a false alarm of fire which had been raised by thieves in order to facilitate their operations
 When the firemen arrived in answer to the tolling of an alarm by the sexton of the church, they found the door locked.
 Breaking it in they witnessed a fearful sight.
 In the mad rush for the exit hundreds had been knocked down and stamped upon, while others had been suffocated by the pressure of the great throng of terror stricken people.
 The dead bodies of l26 women and 10 men were taken from the church.
 Nor was this the total number of vic tims, as several other persons had been killed and twenty fatally injured by leap ing from windows 30 feet from the ground.

PRINCE OF WALES CUTTER BRITANNIA.

own type of boat than the other two, and in consequence, to the eye, seems more in touch with what we have hith- erto recognized as the proper sort of thing. Popular public opinion, how ever, still favors the Fairlie boat.
 ''I must, however, state that in the Valkyrie America has good boat, a clever skipper and a strong combina- ton to meet. It was thought on this side that the Vallzyrie would hold back in the initial races, but both Capt. Cranie1d and those in authority have assured me that their desire is to try hard edge right off with the other boats on the Thames, and this accounts for his towing all the way to the south.
 "Lilze the Britannia, the Valkyrie has her head sails set in the ordinary Scotch fashion, without any American ism in the way of standing sharp so far as the jib is concerned. The forestay of both vessels leads down to about the pitts, and good deal of boat protrudes it. Unlike the Britannia, the Val kyrie, on account of her smaller beam has channels, which supply the neces sary spread for the shrouds, and these latter are of the skeleton order. The main shrouds are the same in both boatS"

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
A Circus Tent Struck at River
 Falls, Wis.
EIGHT DEAD, THIRTY INJURED

A Terrible Storm Burst Over the Ring ling Brothers Show, and as the Terri fled People Tried to Rush from the Tent, the Bolt of Death DeScended.
 RIVER FALLS, Wis. June 22-More than 50 people were injured yesterday when the circus tent of Ringing Brothers was struck by lightning. Eight persons were killed outright, as follows:
 CLARK MATES.
 EUGENE REYNOLDS.
 J. A. GLENDENN1Ne, Town Clerk of Oak Grove, and his son.
 O. A. DEAN.
 O. P. WIGGENs, 14 years old.
 CURT ALDRIDGEs, 12 years old.
 AN UNKNOWN Boy.
 The performance was not quite over, but the terrible storm caused the immense throng to crowd out of the tent. While the people were passing out the tent was struck twice by lightning with the above results. Fire started but was extinguished.
 The greatest consternation followed. The rain continued falling in great sheets and the bodies of the dead were soaked through before they could be removed. As soon as possible Ringing Brothers and their employees did everything in their power to alleviate the condition of the wounded. The dead bodies were taken down town and laid out on the floor of the engine house. where they were, with the exception of the unknown boy. identi- fled in a few minutes after their arrival.
 The scene as relatives identified their dead was distressing. One elderly gentle man, the father of young Dean, tainted and was carried out of the engine house. The clothing on some of the dead was torn in shreds, while others presented no external evidences of the fatality except the awful stare and fixed rigid features.
 Most of the wounded were taken home as soon as possible and are now doing we'll.
 The presence of mind of the Ringlings and their employees prevented a stampede which undoubtedly would have been at- tended with still greater fatalities. The crowd was held in check and the dead and wounded removed as soon as possible.

IRON POLES MUST BE USED.

Conclusion Reached by the Road Board
 With Regard to the Trolley System. Mayor Webster presided at the meet ing of the road board last evening, and there were present Commissioners Kelley, Coughlan and Tracey. The plan of the Waterbury Traction company in it's proposed change to electricity as motive power on the street railway was read by the clerk.
 Commissioner Coughlan took up the subject of the material of the support ing poles. He was in favor of iron poles being used on all lines to the city limits and thence on wooden poles might be used.
 Commissioner Kelley considered that on South Main street as far as the bridge | at the entrance to the Waterbury Button company was far enough and the board so ordered. On East Main street iron poles are to be used as far as the junc- tion with Wolcott street, on Bank street to Porter street, on North Main | street to Burton street and on West Main street to the New England cross ing.
 Commissioner Coughlan objected to the tearing up of sidewalks to put in trolley poles or any other poles, and order poles placed in sidewalks if the property owners should object. The question was submitted to the city at torneY, who said that property owners had no more right to the sidewalk than l than they had to the middle of the street. It was voted that the poles be set flush with the curb line as recom- mended by Mayor Webster.
 The board recommended that the wooden poles used be of Georgia pine, octagonal in shape. The trolley wire must be hung twenty feet above the rails and the iron poles must be erected and maintained within four inches of the wire, but whether these poles be of wrought or cast iron is not specified. | The opinion of Mayor Webster was that the common council in the exercise of it's police power can regulate all mat ters pertaining to speed, power, con- struction, quality of materials used, keeping in repair of system, etc.
 Commissioner Tracy moved that the board recommend to the council that permission be given to the company to change it's motive power. It was seconded by Commissioner Kelley and passed. The board also recommended that in granting the permission the city should be at no loss, cost or expense on account of the change. Adjournment
 was then taken until next Wednesday evening,
