RE-APPOINTED.
Councilman Freeman Again Honored
by Federal Position.

Councilman James r. Freeman OF Ward
8 has received the appointment ofshipping
commissioner of this port, to fill tins
vacancy caused by the removal of r. j.
Macnsir. Mr. Freeman held the
Office under President Cleveland's q
first term, and for three years and
nine months he retained the Office
under President Harrison until Mr.. Mac
nair received his appointment. Mr.. Free
man, though Invested OF his title, still
continued to collect fees from sailing mas
tiers, and his popularity gave him
substantial income. With
Cleveland's reelection Mr.. Freeman
was recommended by the party leaders.
MIR. Macnair has continued to hold the
fort for year since the treasury depart
ment requested his resignation. Last
March Mr.. Freeman received an offer to
engage in the real estate business and re-
tired from the shipping business. Com
missioner Freeman is doubtful as
to whether be will accept
the Office. Mr.. Macnair seems determined
to hang on until he receives official noti-
ficstion OF his removal. Mr.. Freeman
had not given the commiss ionership a
thought for some months. but three or
four aspirsnts had and are corresponding
ly disappointed.

DOESN'T COMPLAIN.
George Gould Refused to cry-Baby
Over Yesterdays Race.


RyDE, Isle of Wight, Aug. 17.-Three
crack yachts, Vigijant, britannia and
Satanita, in addition TO Corsair, Carina
and Namara were entered for the Commo-
dore's Cup Raoe today under tho aus
piccs OF the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.
The vigilant, however, did not appear
and the ether yachts started without her.
AS ths sailing commfTfee sent a special
telegram to Mr.. Gould last night. an
nouncing that the race would start at
$3.50, the absence of bis boat was looked
upon as voiutary and some unfavorab bic
comment was heard among the crowds
who had gather to witness the contest.
Shortly after the yachts started q repre-
sentative o. The Associated Press was
conveyed on board the vigilant of
Cowes, and had an interview
with Mr.. George J. Gould. He
said that the reason he did not
take part in today's race was because he
wanted TO give the Vigilant rest and get
her in trim for tomorrow's race.
Mr.. Gould expressed himself as being
perfectly satisfied with the manner
in which the races had been man
aged, and would not say that
Britannia and Satsnita yesterday were
working together in order to prevent the
Vigiiant from winning.
The Carina won on time allowance:
Britannia second and Satanita third.

HOW TO GET EVEN.
Take the Conductors Number, Not
the Number OF the Car.

1t would save trouble IL people who kick
in public would remember that the num-
ber on conductors hat does not corfe-
spond with the number on his car. So
when the disgruntled person, who is
mad because he or she is carried
yard beyond, or can't have the extra
seats for q bird cage and other luggage,
wants to enter a complaint, instead OF
sneaking around 20 the rear end
OF the car and copying down the
number on the dasher, Il would
be more convenient to look at the "mean
old conductors " hat and With superior
digniflcd smile ask him what figure he is
known by on the company's' pay roll.
IL he is not too busy taking
fares he will undoubtedly
write the number down himself with his
personal address and give IL to the person
that is going to have him discharged be-
fore she eats.
The car numbers don't mean anything
in the complaint asd abuse department

LIME ROCK BANK.
An Assessment on the Stockholders
Among Near Future Possibilities.

About fortnight ago notification was
feceived by the board of directors oil
the Lime Rock National Bank from the
spomptroller OF the treasury that the cap
Iital OF the institution had been impaired
hs the result OF an investigation by tho
bank examiner and directing them TO take
Xtion, either by the reduction OF the cap
ttal stock or an assessment upon the
ttock holders, to meet the deficiency. "he
depreciation of securities during the past
he months was the cause OF the
impairment OF the capital.
Since the announcement the stock, the
Bar value of which was $50, has
been quoted as low as S21 and many OF the
ockholders have disposed Of their hold
jngs. Tho board of directors will meet
Aext Monday to determine their course OF
kction in the premises. II is learned from
h reliable source that one cause OF the
Bhrinkagc in values has been due TO the
dnvestment in mortgages on the Mowry
jbmber yard property on South Main
Street, which have proven unproductive.
rherc is considerable speculation as
to the outcome OF the meeting
pf the directory. Under the law
Whey are given 80 DAYS IN which to deter
tfine the course to be pursued. The con-
ditions seem to point to an assessment
Mpon the stock holders, and remains to be
kscertained whether this proposition is
calculated to tide over the emergency
Which the business depression has
Wrought.

WANT NE W BOAT
George Gould Virtually Admits That
One has Been Ordered.


RyDE, Aug. 1S.-In spite of the denials,
which followed the exclusive announce
ment by The Associated Press, that Mr..
George j. Gould was ordering a new
Herreshoff racing yacht, the statement
then made was perfectly correct.
1t is true that actual work on the new
yacht will not be started until the me-
gotiations. which are now known to be
pending, result in challenge for the
Americas cup.
Talking to Mr.. jameson and Captain
Carter, on board the Britannia the other
day, Mr.. George j. Gould said:
:" As soon as / know that a challenger 10

will live very much in this country.

FAMILY TREES.
An Arboreium Suggested as Desir-
able in a City Hall Annex.

1t has been suggested that when the
City Hall annex is built that
room be left adjoining the NUM-
cipai Court fer an arboretum where
old and rare genealogical trees
may be cultivated and taken care OF. As
1t Is now there Is not room for taking
care OF the records OF old families that un-
known descendants are forever inquiring
about. For instance, Clerk Field received
letter today from q woman In New Bed
ford who says that she can just remember
that her great grandmother, now de-
ceased, frequently referred to
two cousins, Patience and Con-
ISOLATION Fowler, whose uncle
she was reasonably positive had been a
chief among the Pequot Indians. After
furnishing this data the last remaining
member OF the Fowler family asks Mr..
Field IL he can furnish her with brief
type written history, showing her full
line of descent from the Psquots.
Another letter from person in the
village Of hquebogue, New York, writes
TO Mr.. Field and says that az early as
1e47 family OF Van Houtons moved
from Staten Island To Rhode Island and
all trace OF them had been lest sight of
with one exception. Tho exception was
in record found I'm an old Bible OF the
marriage Of Catrins Van Houton
to man named ccisvious Smith, whom
the writer felt sure had been one OF her
earlier ancestors. Would Mr. Field kindiy
look the matter up and reply 60 soon as
conyenisnt for it was proposed
to have a family reunion at Aqrebogue
immediately sitter the coanty fair rext
month and facts we're wanted for the
Grafton. A postage stamp was enclosed

COSTLY ERRORS.
Wrong Punctuation Marks
That Alter Tariff Provisions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. i7.--The discovery
of errors in the new tariff bill, which may
result in suits 20 bo settled only in the
courts, brings out the Importance of
punctuation ia legislation.
ln the bill now before the President,
the fact that scmicolon appears where
IL was intended that colon should be
placed has already caused quite con-
troversy as TO whether diamonds
shall be admitted free or VIII have to pay
q duty OF Is per cent. for cut and 10 per
cent. for ugcut stones.
In same bill and in the free list there is
a semicoion after the word "seeds," where
there should DO colon, and If the
diamonds are admitted free under
this error, then everything that
could come under the head OF seeds will
also be admitted free, when IL is intended
that only few varieties named In the bill
shall be included.
The assertion is made that the construc-
tion placed upon the law by the treasury
officials win not govern the adniis-
sion OF these articles. bat the courts
probably will be called upon TO
construe the law and the construction OF
the courts will stand after test case mas
been made and decided.
1t Is also said that corrections can easily
be made, but it Is quite probable that
there will be considerable difficulty en-
countered in this case, as any proposition
to make charges is very likely TO be
loaded down by ether amendments.

REVOLT.
It Has Now Assumed a Most
Alarming Aspect.
Bv The A~ocIated Prsss.


PRETORIA, South African Republic, Aug.
1.-THE rebellion of the Kafiirs is assum-
ing alarming proportions, and the efforts
OF the authorities OF the repub to sup
press 1t have up the present proved una
vailng.
The Transvaal mounted police detach-
ment sent TO relieve the garrison at
Agatha, which has been besieged
by tine Kafirs for some DAYS
past has been repulsed with,
it is feared, serious loss. Embold-
ened by their success, the Kssfirs pursued
the retreating troopers and made an at
tack upon the main column OF tho Boer
forces.
The Kafjirs were driven back, but the
advance OF the column has been retarded.
Reports of severe fighting between isolat-
ed parties of retreating Beers and Kafiirs
Is reported from settlements along the
Letaba River.
The Beers are fleeing before the Kaffir
advance, taking with them all their port
able property, but large quantities of
provisions and cattle have neces-
sariIy fallen into tho hands Of the
kaffirs. The latter have murdered num-
Der OF Boer farmers and their wives and
children and the fiercest feeling of the
Beers hes been aroused against the re-
bellious natives.
In the. Zoutpansberg District develish
outrages have been committed and large
numbers OF women and children have
been killed and large amounts of property
have been destroyed.
The government Is reinforcing its coll
umn OF troops as rapidly as possible and
IN advance will probably be made upon
the Kafilrs today or tomorrow.
