ONE DAY MORE.
Topsham Fair Continues Its Attrac-
tiveness.

That Game Fl orse Haley Broke the Ira ok
Record Yesterday-The Balloon Assem-
ton Success and the Bicycle Race
Interesting.
The beautiful weather yesterday added to
the fact that the Topsham fair practically
closed the season in this vicinity served to
draw at least 10000 people to the grounds
of the Sagadahoc Agricultural and Horticul-
tural society.
The morning was spent in examining the
horses and some OF the cattle the crowd
meanwhile increasing every moment, find
ing plenty of amusement in the exhibition
hall or in the various side shows upon tie
grounds. 4
The first thing on the afternoons pro-
gramme was the balloon ascension which
was certainly an unqualified success.
1t was just liz p. m. when the balloon
was released and shot into the air.
The parachute when released did not
spread verv quickly, and the first few hun
dred feet Of the aronaut's fall was. very
rapid indeed. He alighted safely in the
yard of a house about one-half mile from
the fair grounds. The management of the
fair have made arrangements to have an
other balloon ascension today.
One of the most interesting events of the
day was the stallion Haley. 2.l8 IA. going
to beat the trackreoord of 2.20 IA, made by
All So in 1890. Haley was paced by Ludlow,
and for horse supposed to be in the 2.45
class he proved flyer, he chung to the
wheel of Haley's sulky for seven-eighths
of mile. and but for an accident. would
have given Haley hard rub to go under
the wire ahead of him. As the horses swung
into the stretch for the finish Ludlow went
down, and his rider received bad fall, but
fortunately neither he or his game horse
were much injured. Haley trotled grand
race, going the mile without skip. and not
only succeeded in breaking the tracks
record. but equalled his own best record,
doing the mile in 2.1S Ia

IndepepdantIv

IuuepenOanUly.
Washington, October l2.-In the general
orders amending the naval regulations
issued today, Secretary Herbert practically
reorganized the most important work of the
Navy Department and placed upon Chief
Naval Constructor Hichborn the RESPONSE
bility for the designs, structural strength
and stability of all the ships built for the
navy. Heretofore considerable authority
has been exercised by other bureau chiefs
in modifying those portions of the ships
affecting their special departments and re-
lating particularly to armor and armament,
engines, stores and equipment. To this
practice is attributed the top-heaviness of
several vessels. which had heavy weights
placed on them not provided for in the
original designs. Under the new order all
projected changes in ships must be sub
mitted in writing through the chief con-
structor, who is directed to carefully con-
slider them ard report upon their advisa-
bility to the Secretary. In like manner it
is suggested changes in ordinance, engi-
neering and other parts Of ships, eliminating
from the construction bureau must be ac-
oompanied by a report from The bureau
affected before receiving the Secretary's
con sideration.

YELLOW FEVER AND CANNON BALLS.
BUENos AYREs, Dec. 29.-Very bad
news has reached here from Rio. 1t
is announced that the unfortunate city
is now a victim of the ravages of the
worst and most dreaded of all diseases,
yellow fever. Five deaths are already
reported.
Following the fever news comes the
information that bombardment of the
city and forts continues and forces of
both parties seem determined to bring
matters to a termination one way or
another. The fire of the rebel Ships on
the forts is said to have been UNUSUAL
Nv severe and to have resulted in the
killing of number OF Peixoto's de-
tenders. 1t is also said several people
were killed in the STREETS of Rio and
the inhabitants are so panic stricken
that all the stores are closed and bust
ness is practically at standstill. The
forts have been replying heavily to the
fire from the ships and so far holding
their own.
SUSPENSION OF LAW.
PERNAMBUCo, Dec. 30. -Suspension
of the laws will be continued in force
until Jan. 81.
DEFENSE BATTALIoNS.
BUENos AYREs. Dec. 2S.-Advices
from Rio say the Portuguese inhabit-
ants have been permitted to organize
