THE VAMoosE IN RACING TRIM
The steam yacht Vamoose fell in with
the rapid Jaylin off Fort Schuyler yes
terday afternoon while Captain Presley
and the chief engineer of the former
were enjoying Sunday trip and by
mutual consent the flyers raced for
New York.
They got away close together at
Stepping Stone Light, and ran from
that point to North Brother Island.
The Eamoose headed the Javlin before
they had gone far, and gradually drew
away until she was abreast of the ISL
and. At that point the Javlin was
nearly mile in her wake.
The yachts collided soon after the
race began, the Javlin's prov damag-
ing the guard of the Vamoose. The
Javlin sustained slight injury forward.
The Vamoose had brush with the
Sound steamer Richard Peck on the
way from Fort Schuyler to Sands Point.
She ran away from the Peck, as she
did from the Javlin. Yachting men
are talking about a race between the
Vamoose and the Feisseen.-New York
Herald.
The Vamoose was in these waters
recently and attracted much attention
by her speed.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Alexandria Gazette. !
MITcHELL's. Va, July S.-After a
few extremely hot days we had a very
severe electrical storm and fine re-
freshing rain this evening. Mr.. Willie
Eliason, who resided about three miles
below Raccoon Ford, in Orange county,
during the storm rode to his neighbor,
Spotswood, and to where they had
been threshing wheat. Dismounting
from his horse he engaged in converse
ton with Mr.. Spotwood; several har-
vest hands lying down and standing
around; he with his hand on his horse
and Mr.. S. Immediately in front of him,
when bolt of lightning descended
upon his (A1r. Eliason's) head, killing
him and mis- horse instantly and partial
" stunning Mr.. Spotswood and only
scorcbing place on Mr.. SIS side about
the size of his hand. Mr.. Eliason's
young wife is in a delicate condition
and the shock of his sudden and awful
death has caused much apprehension
as to the ultimate effect upon her, and
the affair has cast gloom over the entire
community, for the victim was high
toned and prosperous man and very
popular. About the same time but
several miles higher up the river the
Rapidan) the lightning struck shock
of wheat in the field of DR.. Holiday
aud it burned fiercely, notwithstanding
the heavy down pour of rain.
The condition of Mr.. Hamilton, of
Winston, has not improved much, as
gastric fever is hard to control, so say
his physicians. THISTLE.

Sunday night about eleven o'clock,
when it was entirely too warm to sleep,
sat at my window and enjoyed the
singing ola quartette of young men
some of the sweetest voices in the city.
Much to my indignation two minions
of the law strolled up (by some pecu-
liar combination Of chances), and, in
terms more forcible than polite, stop
ped the singing. These young men
have frequently been requested to sing
at night by persons living on Wash
ington street, near King, and have
complied, and this is the first time they
have been molested. Where have our
worthy police officers been all the sum-
mer? And why is it they don't stop
the disorder of the.gangs ofnegroes and
tramps that invade certain sections of
the city at night, cursing, yelling, fir
ing pistols and misbehaving generally?
These are the things to be objected to
and not little harmless music that
every one enjoys. Mayor Strauss is
right in asking for more officers-the
night force should be doubled-but
they should be instructed not to strain
at gnats and swallow camels.

THE platform upon which the pres
ent administration was elected declares
that the Mckinley bill is not only a
robbers bill, which plumbers the peo-
pie, but that it is unconstitutional.
And this declaration is rock ribbed

sylvania, the chairman of the national
democratic committee, is reported as
publicly expressing the opinion that no
change will be made in that bill at the

IT WAS reported soon after the COM
mencement of the present democratic
administration that Messrs. Lincoln and
Grant, pronounced republicans, would
be retained as Z. S. Ministers at Lon
don and Vienna. The truth of the re-
port in respect of the latter is now con-
firmed, as it is printed, on what is said
to be the highest authority" that the
President requested Mr.. Grant to re-
tain his position, but that the latter
very properly declined the offer for the
excellent reason that it would be IN
seemly for him to represent an admin
istration with the principles and policies
of which he did not gree and which he
hoped would be defeated four years
hence. What is true in the case OF MIR.
Grant is doubtless true in that of Mr..
Lincoln also; and yet neither one OF
them is anything else than the son OF
his father, and this country, certainly
the North, poses as the land in which
man is respected for what he, not his
father, has done, and where honor and
shame from no condition rise.

BECAUSE a proposition has been made
that school history of the country shall
be written that shall be a true history
and that shall state that the principles
for which the South fought were taught
at West Point up to the commencement
of the war, and that the South was not
utterly wrong and the North entirely
right, and that the South was defeated,
not by northern people, butby hirelings
from all the nations of the world, the
New York Tribune hastens to say that
such a history Twill substitute fidelity
to southern traditions for fidelity to
truth, and will betray the public veal
The Tribune evidently does not hold
the idea that the truth should be told
though the heavens fall.

WHILE THE prevailing impression on
the subject seems to be that the Sher-
man silver bill will be repealed at the
coming session of Congress, even those
whose hopes of such consummation
are most sanguine are as yet, apparent
", at least, unable to tell exactly how
the change in the rules of the House OF
Representative necessary to effect the
repeal in that body can be made, in face
of the sturdy and determined opposl-
ton of the silverites, who have already
declared their intention of resorting to
every available parliamentary means to
prevent any such change. Mr.. Crisp
can not, of course, adopt the Reed
method, but otherwise it is not readily
seen how the obstruction can be over
come.

Yesterday morning. They were at
work in the various shafts, when there
was sudden explosion of fire damp,

men made wild dash for the shaft,
and all succeeded in escaping but two.
The latter were imprisoned in an iso-

INTERCHANGEABLE investigation
as to the narrowly avcrted collision be-
tween the steamers Norfolk, of the
Washington line, and Pocahontas of the
Richmond line, at Old Point on July 4,
was begun in Norfolk yesterday before
United States Steamboat Inspectors
AIilligan and O'Sullivan. Capt. S. A.
Geoghegan, of the Norfolk, was the first
witness, and after his examination he
decided to let the case rest on its mer-
its, so far as any other evidence from
his side was concerned, and also waived
the right of cross examination. Several
persons who were passengers on the
Pocahontas were then put on the stand.
The investigation will continue several
days. An interesting feature of the
case is the fact that the two captains
are brothers.

After pointing, they generally let the matter rest, as the bills introduced usu- ally rest in the hands of some one of the congressional committees. If Mark would devote his attention to one single bill he could no doubt do tho terri tory great deal of good. A bill for the erection of government building at Phoenix would help Mark and the people of the territory.
