The NigiIant Disabled.

ToTLANn BAY, Aug. 1S.-It was the
intention to have the match race be.
tween the Britannia and the Vigilant
for the Wolverton cup sailed to-day,
but owing to an accident to the Wig
liant it did not take place. Both yachts
got under way at 1890 for the rendez
vous, and just as they were preparing
to start the Vigilant luffed up, lowered
her topsail and took in her forestry sail.
Shortly afterwards both yachts re-
turned home, the Vigilant in tow. It
was ascertained that the Vigilant's cen
treboard, which was held by patent
gearing in the forward part of the trunk,
dropped out and went to the bottom Of
the sea. This, Of course, disabled the
yacht and the race, in consequence, was

POTATOES WILL BE SCARCE.-Re-
cent reports from the Department of
Agriculture at Washington show that
there has been very heavy decline in
the potato crop this season. For the
month of July the estimated decline or
depreciation in the crop was is per cent.
This is an uncommonly heavy decline:
in fact, it is the greatest ever recorded
in single month.
The chief cause of this falling off is
the prolonged and widespread drought
under which the country has suffered
this season. On account of this depre-
citation it is probable that the price OF
potatoes will be considerably advanced.
Already the scarcity has been felt, and
wholesale dealers have raised the price
to 1915 barrel This is S1.25 more,
or nearly double the opening price for
the early native crop, which sold
for $3.50 barrel. Those who buy po-
tatoes at retail must pay from % to
$3.50 barrel for them.

A NEW COAL LoADER.-A machine

which is certain to revolutionize the

into the coal-shipping business at Ash

pany, a corporation controlled by mem
bers of the firm of Pickands, Mathers
& Co., who are the Cleveland represen
tatives of the Minnesota Iron Company
and who conduct a larger business in
iron ore, pig iron and coal than any of
the several big Cleveland firms. In
stead of the old system of loading by
means of buckets and rotary derricks.
this machine, which has stood the test
extending over several days of actual
work. takes up loaded car of about
% tons capacity and dumps its contents
into the hold of vessel, cars being
handled at the rate of about eighteen
per hour.
The loaded car is drawn high into the
air by cantlever, the end containing
the car being lowered through the
hatch into the hold of the vessel.
Shutes cannot be used in handling soft
coal, as the great aim is to avoid break
age, which is reduced to a minimum
with this machine. Cargoes aggregat-
ing as much as $500 tons are loaded in
q single day.
