Cornell Rows Over the Course at Henley

HENLEY -oN-THAMES. July 10. - The

disappointment to all concerned. Cornell
was pitted against the crew Of the Lie.

and ex-Cambridgc oarsmon, and said &c
be the strongest on the river. There was
some confusion at the start ewing to the
presence near the starting line of a mum.
ber of boats which seriously interfered
with the Leander. Consequently the lat
ter were somewhat slow III getting into
position.
When the umpire said go" the Lean.
der crew claims that it was not ready, and
had SO informed the umpire who on the
other hand says he understood the Lean
der crew to say it was ready. Cornell con.
sequently rowed over the course. 1t could
not have done otherwise unless it was
very Quixotic, but the Leander crew is
very bitter, and declares that Cornell
should have stopped when it saw that
Leander was not coming. The affair has
left n very bad feeling on all sides.
Lcander says Cornell is no sportsman,
md Cornell retorts that it was warned
that Leandcr was tricky. The commit.
tee OF stewards has indorssd the umpire's
decision. Meanwhile the umpire, Frank
william. has offered TO give u prizs worth
El00 for n Lcauder-Corncli race on the
last day of the regatta, and if Leander is
sincere it has n chauce to show what II
can do. But the crew is So angry that
the members say they want nothing more
to 10 with Cornell.

FOREST FIRES IN MICHIGAN.

Five square Miles OF Flames.

MUsKEGoE, July lO.-The city of North
Muskegon and vicinity is in terror OF the
greatest forest fire ever witnessed here,
and hourly the danger becomes greater,
as the flames creep along with astonish-
ing rapidity. Farm houses and extensive
crops are threatened on all sides, and the
farmers have turned out in body to
check the Roadway. 1t Will be almost
fruitless, however, as already over five
square miles is one mass Of flames and
the dense smoke makes n battle with
them almost impossible.
Word reached the city las: night of tho
burning Of Albert Van Zlnt's sawmill
and n large quantity OF logs, shingles and
lumber, amounting to several thousand
dollars. Several farm houses cannot es-
cape the flames, and it is reported that
many acres of crops have already been
reduced to ashes. Unless rain comes soon
no one can tell what the damage Will be.

Church Festival Broke Up.

LA PORTE, Ind, Aug. 29.-There
was a strange poisoning OF BOO per-
sons in attendance at a Lutheran
church festival at Tracey Sunday.
One thousand communicates as
sembled in the village and at the
conclusion of the morning services
the people congregated about the
tables for dinner. Half an hour
later men, women and children
were suffering terrible agony. En-
tire families succumbed to the
strange disorder. The church was
converted into a hospital and beds
were improvised and every atten-
ton was given to the unfortunates.
The unusual scene terminated the
religious rites and the congregation
scattered to their homes, where
physicians administered to the
wants of the sufferers. The cause
OF the malady Is not known. The
most accepted belief is that the po-
tatoes, which were eaten in large
quantities, were either impregnated
with bug poison or were poisoned
by being cooked in copper kettle,
All will probably recover.

forest fires and is momentarily
threatened with destruction. In
response to a message the fire de-
partment with entire apparatus
was loaded aboard a special train
and has left to assist the neighbor-
ing town.
Osborn is situated, like all the
towns in the Couer d'Alene district,
in deep canon with mountains on
both sides, heavily timbered and
with this dense forest ablaze on
both sides 1t is more than likely
that the town is doomed.
Fears are strengthened by the
fact that communication cannot be
had with the threatened town
either by telephone or telegraph.
