YACHTING IN ENGLAND.

The Navahoe Was in Another Race
 With the Britannia and CaIluna.
 LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Royal Albert
 Yacht club, of which the Duke of Kdin-
 burgh is commodore, had another race to- day open to yachts above forty rating. The prize was cup valued at ninety pounds. Though the sun was shining the conditions were not favorable, the wind being light.
 The start was made from South Sea, where the clubhouse Is located, and the distance to be sailed was forty-six miles, the conditions being that the course should be gone over twice. The starters were the Britannia, Navahoe, Culluns, Satanita When the starting gun was fired at 10 o'clock all the yachts were heading in fine shaps up the line. The Britannia was the Navahoe and Sstsnita in the order given.
 The yachts had to beat to Nab lightship, and before 1t was reached the Navahoe had overtaken and passed the Calluna The Britannia slowly increased the advantage she had gained at the start. and by the time the first half of the first round had been sailed she was two minutes and @ half ahead of the Nsvahoe. The Prince of Wales' boat kept the lead throughout The Sstanita brought up the rear. The mark-boat was passed at the following times:
 Britannia, II hours, 33 minutes, 20 sec onds; Navahoe, II hours, 35 minutes, 50 Calluna, Il hours, 40 minutes, 56 seconds; II hours, A minutes, 16 seconds.
 Toward the finish the Calluns began to shorten the distance between herself and the Navahoe, but shortly after she began to creep up on the American the wind died out, and drifting match fol lowed. AS there was no danger of their fouling each other the race was stopped at the end of the first round, the cup going to the Brittsnia.
 They finished as follows: Britannia 3:55:00, Cslluna 3:57:45, Nsvshoe 4:O4:45, Santsnits 4:0S:32.
 After the race for the Albert cup in the regatta of the Royal Albert Yacht club on Monday the owner of the Satanita lodged a protest against the cup being awarded to the Britannia, which was first to cross the line. The protest was based on the ground that the Britannia had forced the Sstanita to put about on wrong tack, thus causing her to fall behind. To-day the managers of the club gave decision in favor of the Sstanits, which accordingly becomes winner of the cup. The Britannia was disousli6ed

 Hts Carriage

Mrs. Smith and her daughter started about the same time for Ansonis in carriage The four met In Arsonis and started in two car riages to drive to Ssvin Rock, where they were going to spend few days at Skeeles' They went by way of the old Derby turn pike. When the first carriage containing MT. Smith and his son had reached the toll gate they hitched their horse to a tree and got out to rest few minutes They had not been there but few minutes when suddenly the horse which his wife and daughter had been driving rushed by minus the carriage, and jumped over the toll gate and proceeded down the road at a break-neck speed. Mir. Smith was greatly concerned about the fate of his wife and went back to see what had become of them He met them soon, however, coming down the road, not having been hurt at all, for when the horse started to run they had jumped and thus escaped injury. The horse is still at large and was about o'clock in the vicinity of Edgewood avenue. The case was reported to Sergeant Mcbride and a search Is being made for the missing animal

 MT. Henderson of Iowa said that the most gratifying thing that could reach the people of the United States were the votes. The people expected early action. He re- g-etted that SO much time had been given for debate. The country was congested by distress, msnufactories wore closed and thousands were thrown out of employment, banks were tumbling, and @ great conh- mental railroad had just passed into the hands of receiver It had been eaid that $177. COG, GOO had been taken from national banks within two months and the govern ment could not estimate how much of that had been taken from private banks.
 Congress was asked to come here as 6 physician to treat the alarming condition of the country. The free coinage of silver would drive this country to a silver basis. If tue democrats had the courage and pat riotism to let the tariffs alone they would set the wheels of industry agoing aud would give impetus to every branch of business, but he could not believe that the farmers and workers were interested in cheap money. Let all patriotic represent atives join hands to meet the trouble which confronts the country. Applause.

A CALL UPON CONGRESS.

 of Both Gold and Silver.
 ATLANTA, Gs., Aug. 16.-The Evening Journal, owned by Secretary Smith, today calls upon congress ''to pass the free coin age bill of both gold and silver, putting enough silver in the silver dollar to put in on parity with the gold dollar" --
 i've further believe" it says, ''that MT. Cleveland and his cabinet and democratic leaders in the senate and house squarely favor this plan" c. =
 AS the Journal has equiyooally endorsed the presidents message, and has not until now called for free coinage of both gold and silver, its uttersnces to day are regard. ed as significant.

The Span of a Bridge Gives Away
 Letting a Passenger Train Down Seven Persons Were Killed and Four Injured-A Little Girl Wants
 Her Mother Cared for First.
 +DANvILLE, Va, Aug. 16.-As a passen- ger train on the Atlantic and DanvilIe road was crossing the county line trestle, east of Milton, early this morning, the engineer felt the bridge giving away. He threw open the throttle and the engine, tender and box car got safely over, but the span then went down, carrying with 1t two pas sengers cars and sleeper into the creek sixty feet below.
 The care were shivered into kindlings, and the escape of any of the passengers was miracle. The water in the creek had risen to the depth of twelve CT more feet, and it is believed that the rise undermined the foundation of the piers, causing the trestle to settle. On the train at the time were about sixteen persons, including train hands.
 Seven persons were killed snd four in jured. The killed are: H. Morris, con duotor; ". R. Ellison. Alton, Va; J. G Davies, Baskerville, Va; W. H. Eam, Durham, N. O.; James s. Lowe, 8 railroad conductor from the west, who was a pas senger; Thomas Rse, colored; Frances Jen- kins, colored.
 The wounded are: Mrs. Harvey Giersch, Salem, N. O.. slightly wounded; G. R. Towers, colored, porter of Pullman. slight ly bruised about the body; - Davis, a fireman, hurt about head and face and foot sprained.
 Frances Jenkins was the servant of Mrs. Gisrsch and was with the latter and her children in the sleeper. Frances was drowned. The depot agent at Milton heard the crash and immediately gave the alarm by tolling the bell. The people turned out in force and went to work at once to remove the dead and injured from the debris. The little thirteen year-old daughter of Mrs. Gierech said to the rescuere: Don't mind me. am not hurt; but please take mamma out"
 None of the injured ara seriously hurt. The dead were removed to Milton. The I loss will be heavy to the railroad, as the cars and full spsn of the bridge are a total 1osa
