IT WAS DEATHS RACE.
EIGHT EACRTSMEN DROWNED
AT ST. JOHN, NIB.
Their Boat Sent Bow First to the
Bottom in Sudden
Storm.

ST. JOHN, n. s., Aug. 21.-Today's
yacht race for The Corporation cup re-
suited in putting mourning into at least
eight families. The FIVE yachts started
out with good, stiff breeze. Nothing
OF Importance happened until the
yachts rounded the last buoy and we're
homeward bound. When all were be-
calmed, to the westward plain indica-
tiOn' OF storm could be seen.
In short time the storm came with
rain and high wind, followed a few
minutes later by hail storm. The
yachts had their sails all set when the
storm struck them. In a short time the
yachts were all out of sight, with the
storm raging furiously. The Maple
Leaf was some little distance off from
the Others. and was the first to receive
the benefit OF the squall.
The crew made an effort to take in
the sail. but before they could accom-
plish this work the topmast was carried
away.
The Primrose was well in shore when
struck, and she lasted but a few min-
utes. She was thrown on her beam
ends. and in an instant she plunged bow
first to the bottom.
As the storm subsided the people on
the tugboat Lille discovered one yacht
was missing. and Immediately got up
steam for a search for the missing
yacht. After going about a quarter of
a mile four men in close proximity
were found swimming about in the still
heavy-runnrng sea. They were picked
up, after having been in the water over
half an hour. The following are the
Names of the Drowned:
SAMUEL HUTTON, aged fifty, leaves a
widow.
FRED PRIEST, son of Capt. Priest twenty,
single.
GEORGE HEATRFIELD, aged twenty
two.
A. A. KERLY, aged twenty-six single:
only support of widowed mother.
GEORGE BARTLETT, aged twenty-seven,
leaves widow and two children.
JAMES HURLEY. aged fifty-two, leaves
widow and seven children.
WILLIAM RUSSELL. aged twenty, single
II. HOYT, nineteen, single.
Hutton was one of the best known
oarsmen in the world. He was a MEM
Der of the celebrated Paris crew. which
won fame Oh both sides of the Atlantic
quarter of century ago. The drown
ing of Hutton makes the first break in
this crew, which, although they have
not roWed since the Philadelphia Cen
tennial regatta, hold TO this day the
worlds record in match scratch mile
race. The rescued men cannot tell any,
thing about the accident. They were
all swimming about when the wreck of
the Maple Leaf occurred, but 100 yards
off the Primrose, so thoroughly panic
stricken that they don't know exactly
what happened. The other four yachts
sustained more or less damage.

GREASERS YIELD UP.
NOTED INTERNATIONAL CASE
TERMINATED.
Widow OF Mine Superintendent
Baldwin Secures $4,000
From Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-A celebrated
case which has occupied good part of
the attention OF the state department
for seven years aud has figured in con-
gress in years gone by, has just come to
successful termination. and the Mex
lean government has placed with the
State department to the credit OF Mrs.
Leon Mcleod Baldwin the sum of S20,-
QUO as indemnity for the assassination of
her husband.
MIR. Baldwin was superintendent or
manager of the Valencian mines. In
August, 1887. while making a tour of a
group of mines belonging to a party of
American capitalists, he was fired on
by two men concealed behind rocks
close by the mines. They were we'll
known desperadues-Carlos Martinez
and Vicente Becerra. Baldwin was
badly wounded and sought refuge in a
tunnel. The deSperadoes cried: 1--WE
intend 10 make away with the whole
gringo company" and called upon the
unarmed miners TO surrender Mr.. Bald
win or they would fire on them. Ta
save the lives of the helpless men, Mr..
DdluNlu SuIIcHuSIeU himself on PRONE
ise that he would be allowed to paw
ransom and go free. The bandits put
him on mule, carried him down the
road, and i'll few minutes shot him
through the brain and disappeared. A
few days later band of these robbers
raided a Mexican village, and the in
habitants, who had failed to interfere
with them so long as they attacked only
Americans, pursued them aud killed
five outlaws, including the two men
who had murdered Baldwin.
All OF these acts were developed by
patient inquiry by United States Min.
lister Conroy, and then began a CORE
spondence between the governments Of
the United States and Mexico, which
has grown to most formidable proper
tions. Secretary Bayard called atten-
tion to the fact that such outrages upon
Americans had been of frequent oe-
currence, and he insisted that the local
Mexican authorities had signaliy failed
in their duty TO afford Americans pro-
lection guaranteed by the treaty. Con.
sequen ly he thoroughly iudorsed the
claim of $4,000 indemnity preferred by
Mrs. Baldwin and directed Mr.. Conroy
to press it upon the Mexican govern
ment. The latter denied responsibility
for the assassination, and 1t has taken
seven years to convince them tnot they
were liable. Meanwhile the indemnity
was scaled down to so, 600.

CLEVELAND. O., Aug. 21.-An in

HUNDREDS HOMELESS
DISASTROUS FIRE AT HAM
MONDSPORT, NY.
Eastern Portion of the Town a
Mass of Oharred and Bar6-
ing Embers.

HAMMoNDsPoRT, N. Y, Aug. 21.-
This afternoon fire broke out in the
large grist mill and wine box factory of
Charles Champlin. The flames commu.
dicated to pile of 10000 feet of
fine quality lumber used in the manu-
facture of wine boxes and soon both
were destroyed. From the lumber
yards the flames spread to dwelling
houses adjoining and were soon beyond
control. The eastern portion OF the
town is mass Of charred embers, and
here and there the flames are still
burning fiercely. The fire caught from
a defective tlue in smoke stack of the
factory.
The charitable people of the town are
doing their best to provide shelter for
the people who have had to desert their
homes. 1t is calculated there are 1000
homeless people wandering about the
streets. There are no waterworks in
the town, and all the water used on the
fire had to be pumped from the lake,
which is great distance off. There is
but small insurance. Loss not yet
estimated.

BEAT NANCY HANKS RECORD
Of 2:00 IA for the Same
Course, but Failed to
Reduce 2:04.
GREATEST MILE EVENT
Ever Trotted--The Last Half
Mile Made Easily
in 1:02.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-AliX today trotted
In 2:0514 at Washington Park, and the
exhibition was pronounced by nearly
all the hOrSemen present TO be the
greatest ever made in the sulky. 1t
reduced the track record of 2:064 held
by Nancy Hanks. and while il fell
second and a quarter short of the
worlds record, was really a better per-
formance, conditions considered. The
Washington Park track is at least a
second and q half slow. 1t has not
been so fast as formerly since the new
loan was placed on it before the June
running meeting, and is IN need OF
good, hard rain. All the drivers agree
that the track is slow. John Kelly, who
handled DErectum last year, said:
This is the
Greatest Mile Ever TrOttod.
Had AliX been sent against the record
last week at Terre Haute, she would
undoubtedly have beaten it."
Mcdowell, who handled AliX today,
said that the e.track was two seconds slow
at the smallest estimate.
The event was not called until half
past 5 O'Clock. Although the wind was
not high, the atmosphere was cool and
far from record d-breaking. AlX scored
twice. and then was sent away under q
hard pull. The first quarter was made
in 81 q; she scurried on to the half in
1:034; then Mcdowell let her out a
little, and the running mate joined her;
she went to the three-quarterS in 80.
and came home without break and
full of 20 in 2:05L, several watches
catching it in 2:O5 fiat.
Tomorrow Directly, 2:12, and Carbon
ate. 2:19, will engage i'll match race
for $1,000: ami Friday the. great PAGERS
Robert and Joe Patchen will meet for
$1,000 purse. Saturday Fantasy reels
of fast mile.
(, The attendance today was 5000. A
great field appeared for the 2:15 trot,
but Trevillion clearly showed the best
of the lot, while Ora Wilkes was just as
clearly second best. Silicon was quite
a disappointment. FIdol won the 2:l1
pace without trouble. going the second
heat in 2:104. The 2:30 pace brought
out the hardest race of the meeting anu
a scandal. Dickerson. who was substi-
tuted for Thayer behind Douglas in the
fifth heat, crowded Major Ewing into
the fence, causing him TO fall, yet Sells
got the Chicago horse Oh his feet and
saved his distance. There was a loud
protest, and it was claimed that Dicker-
sons act was Intentional, but the
judges decided otherwise. Douglas
won this heat and the next one. and
seemed to have the race, but Major
Ewing won the decisive trial amid
great enthusiasm.

be left intact at all hazards. A lively
debate followed the launching of two
motions by NJ. Acrostowic, of Cleve-

before proceeding further, he moved
that the delegates renounce their allie
glance to the pope of Rome forever. He
also moved that they recognize officially
Archbishop Vilatte as the head of this
new church. Mr.. KolasZewski opposed
the first motion, saying that its passage
would result in criticism and Injury to
the society. Several warm speeches
were made on both sides. The motion
was lost. The second motion carried.
A resolution was passed establishing
the name American Catholic chur ch for
the society. The names of Polish Ma
tional church and Polish independent
church were suggested, but were
thought to be too narrow.

NOT A SPINDLE MOVING IN THE
NEW BEDFORD MIALS.
Operatives Declare That They
will Fight to the Bitter
End.

New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 21.-The
mills of this city are completely tied up
today, even those which were running
yesterday being closed today. The
Rowland corporations have not yet re-
sumed work, but undoubtedly will
within few days, as an agreement has
been reached by the corporations. The
spinEners' executive committee is today
devoting it's efforts to getting the Pan
nett and Columbia mills, which make
the same line of goods as the three
HowIand corporations, into line, and
from statements made privately by the
officials of these mills there is some rea-
son to believe that the effort will be
successful.
The outcome of the ST ike now Ge-
pends upon the cloth mills. Some of
the treasurers are disposed to fight it out
if it takes all winter, and they assert
that ali agreement has been reached
whereby the mills are to be locked up
indefinitely; but, OIL the other hand, in
dividual treasurers are quoted as say
ing that they look for loophole to get
out Of The trouble and will be glad to
find it quickly.
The Bristol mill. which was prose-
cuted in court recently for running on
Saturday afternoons. is 80 10. dsd with
orders that gentleman very ose to
the management said today that it
could not think of shutting down for
any length of time.
1t may be, however, that -en if the
manufacturers finally canGede the wage
question, the strike will not immediately
end. The operatives ale indignant at
the evasion of the recently passed
particulars bill, and at mass meeting
at the South park today they voted not TO
return to work until the particulars pro-
vided by laws are furnished.
The spinners' committee say they do
not regard the Rowland concession as
victory, and they express the belief that
it does not by any means end the strike.
