Talks About the Coming Games With Ox-
 ford.
 London, July 16.-The Sportsman prints an interview with Charles Fl. Sherrill, Jr., of the Yale graduates ad- visory committee. Sherrill condemned the attack made by some American newspapers on English athletic methods. He could not speak too highly, he said, of the fairness of English starting, judging and measuring. The American method was far too strict. He believed that Sheldon would have an apprecia- ble advantage in the broad jump, doing perhaps twenty-three feet.
 Sherrill expected Woodruff to win the half-mile run, while the contests in throwing the hammer and putting the weight certainly would be won by Yale. He believed. too, that the quarter-mile run might be added to the probable Yale victories. The Queens club track, he added, was the best he had ever seen and was admirably arranged.
 The reporter was much impressed with the modesty. and courtesy of MT. Sherrill and his companions.
 The Chronicle says that Scott of the Oxford team has lame ankle owing to his striking hurdle while at practice Fry and Swanwick have bruised heels Robinson has initiated the American by using steel-handled hammer, with the result that he has beaten his former record by ten feet.

 About l0:60 Captain Kelley came aboard and shortly afterwards Cronin and West came on. West was very drunk. Cronin began to use vile Ian, guage and Kelley ordered him oR. 4 scufiie ensued, during which both meu1 fell, with Cronin on top. Kelley wiggled out, rose to his feet and fell between thA barge and the dock. West dove for him but was too drunk to help him. Cronin drew West ashore and threw rope to Kelley, who came up once and sonk al. most immediately. The body was res covered at 7:50 Sunday morning.
 Captain Kelley was rattan maker. Last May he entered the employ of tha Hartford and New York Transportation company, and was given command of one of the barges.

He drinks heavily and is a tough character when drunk. He has wife and seven small children. West has the reputation of seldom being sober.
 Medical Examiner Cleveland found a bad bruise on Kelley's head. Kelley's wife says that Cronin hit and kicked her husband several times. It may be that when Kelley fell he struck his head on the dock. An inquest will be held tomorrow.

Clifford, of the lost whaler, Abram Barker, was aboard as passenger. Captain Clifford was brought on board May 2, forty miles of Cape Navern. The crew were picked up by bark Horatio. It is a thrilling story that the captain tells.
 U"The 3d of May" said he, i've were working through the ice in strong breeze. The Horatio and the Adam Barker were together. We did not hit the ice hard enough to slave in the ship. Sometimes it was hard to tell what the result would be. In the morning we started the pumps and were startled to find ten feet of water. The provisions were under water and our supply of fresh water was spoiled. We signalled to the Horatio and she came to us. Some of the crew came aboard, and we started mp the pumps to their full capacity. We pumped until 12:30 and gained only six inches Our steam pump gave out and the water gained rapidly on us. Under the circumstances we took our personal ef- fects and went aboard the Horatio Two hours after that the Barker sank in the sea-
 Captain Clifford further explained that the vessel had mo catch" It left this port December 9. The Barker was built at Fair Haven, Mass, in 1846 and was owned by J. Wing of New Bedford.

It is with joy that think of these fresh young soldiers; this generous enthusiasm and the beau tiful hopes you represent. In this city twenty years ago the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union was formed. I am one who believes that women will bless and brighten every place they enter and that they will enter every plece. I believe that we are getting ready for greater victories and more wonderful accomplishments than we have ever dreamed of. Woman's mission is not only in the home, but to make the whole world more home like. Protection for the home will become the watchword for the twen- tieth century. I am glad you are with us on the picket line for the victorious army of prohibition s. L. Mershon of Chicago spoke on "The Christian Endeavor Missionary Course" and Rev. Gilbert Reid brought greeting from China.
 Overflow meetings were held in the evening.

D sons Were Wounded by Him-A , of Men Jumped Upon Him and o Rp Officer Could Reach Him He
 Rrly Kicked to Death.

VII Nriy NCkcV 70 Dehth.
 Ha bn, Pa, July l5.-while attend ing d rivnic at Landmessers Park last night Mike Roaman, m Italian, was knocked down on the dancing floor. Giovanni Perna, n fellow countryman, instantly drew his revolver. The plat form was then crowded with men and women who were forming to take part in the dance. Perna fired point blank at Benjamin Hancock and wounded him. The dancers broke into Q panic. Perna, thinking he was about to be .at- tackled, began firing right and left, emptying his revolver of five bullets. It is known that ten persons were wounded.
 AS far as can be learned their names are: Benjamin Hancock, shot In the neck; Clifford Minnick, shot in the left thigh; T. Williams, colored, shot in leg; J. Matthews, shot In the leg; William Lakeland, shot in the knee; fifteen- year-old boy named Cook. shot in the side; an unknown man, shot In the hip.
 As Perna reached the exit a crowd of frenzied men sprang upon him and kicked and clubbed him without mercy. and he would have been hanged but for the timely arrival of a constable &C., companied by number of cooler head ed citizens The mob, however, fought against giving up the prisoner, and be- fore the officer succeeded in reaching him he was nearly kicked to death.
 The prisoner was given hearing to- day and held In $1 900 bail

TAKEN FROM THE TRUST,
Kansas Pacific Bondholders Should Con-
 test Such Action.

test Such Action. -
 Chicago, July 15-The Kansas Pacific bondholders' committe announces that 1t has made thorough examination of the affairs of the trust constituted for the benefit of the bondholders. The ex- animation discloses that securities which were deposited in the trust have been taken therefrom. This statement the committee asserts is established by incontrovertible proof. The bondhold- CTS, it says. should join in conferring authority upon the committee to contest the legality of such action. If this col lateral can be recovered these bond holders do not need reorganization. All that they require is the collection of the property that belongs to them.
 The committee is advised by. counsel that the proceeds of these securities can be recovered and can be made to realize sufficient to pay and discharge the Kansas Pacific consolidated bonds at their face value. As the mortgage upon the railroad and land grant is made quate it is vital to the interests of the bondholders to recover the diverted col lateral assets. It Is. however, neces- sary, the committee says. that the &C., tion of the bondholders should be prac- tically unanimous in this essential mat ter.
 The committee has, therefore, decided to accept deposits of bonds with the Continental Trust company of New York and with the State Street Safe Deposit and Trust company of Boston until July 20 before adopting appropri- ate measures for compelling restitution to the trust. ..'.2

NOT 4 SINGLE HITCH. The Work of the Minneapolis on Her Fri,
 Was Perfect.

The Work of the Minneapolis on Her Trip
 Was Perfect.
 Boston, July 16.-The Post will pub fish an interview with Lewis Nixon, superintendent of construction of the Cramps, in regard to saturday's trial of the cruiser Minneapolis.
 If we had had seventy fathoms of water we could have made "A knots easier than we made 23.06," said MT. Nixon.
 ''At one point of the course the water was as shallow as nineteen fathoms The course averaged about forty fath- oms, and had it been at that depth all the way along the ship would have gone even better than she did. It is the best course we can get on this coast and of course we are very well satisfied"
 "How long could she maintain 24- knot speed2'' was asked.
 ''Oh, as long as you like, was the re- ply. ''For four hours, at least, with one gang of men, and for an indefinite time if you make use of relays-pro- vidsd, of course, that the vessel could carry the necessary coal. We have all the relays we want, but the trouble is that the men will not be relieved. There is sort of sentiment about them which would revolt against re- lief, as they look upon it as a boundless honor to have the running of such a vessel. But with proper relief and careful watching the cruiser could be run for a week or so easily. The ordinary ocean steamers, you know, can run at top speed, driving and driv- ing day after day. ' '....
 Then you are perfectly satisfied with the work of the Minneapolis"
 Perfectly. She was well timed and there was not single hitch"

FIERCE WORK OF 4 CYCLONE.
Crops Are Laid Low and Hundreds of
 Fowls Blown in the Ocean.


 Newport, R. l., July 15.-The cyclone and hail storm of yesterday passed through the very heart of this city and it is estimated that 300 buildings suffered from the effects of the storm. A number of small cottages, each show from twelve to fifty broken window panes. Besides the enormous break age of glass in dwellings business places fared even worse.
 The Boston store lost 300 large lights and the Perry house 200. Examination reveals the fact that many plate glass windows have been cracked. Of course the florists were great sufferers. Carl Jurgens, who had acres of houses in the direct path of the storm, will have to reglaze entirely and he has tele- graphed for 5000 worth of glass. This is a small part of his loss, for all his plants and fruits were destroyed.
 In Middletown the farmers while hav- ing suffered some breakages of glass and received interior drenching of their houses, are principally asgrteved over the condition of crops. Corn, wheat, potatoes and all garden produce have been laid so low or 80 beaten to pieces as to be beyond recovery, while their loss of fowls is also dis, couraging. In many poultry yards fowls were pelted to death by the hail. In one place 400 fowls were blown into the ocean and drowned.
 Thousands of dollars worth of dam- age has been done to farmers and in many instances they will be unable to recover from their losses. It is said that sixty years ago a similar storm struck Jamestown, across the bay.
