The YaIkyrie Defeated.

GoURooK, July 9.-Valkyrie III, the
challenger for the Americas cup, and
the Britannia and Ailsa started in the
regatta this morning, on the Clyde, in q
rafting northwest wind, that gave
them a splendid chance to test their
comparative capabilities. The course
was SO miles, with seven turns. The
trio were having a magnificent race,
outsailing some of the steam yachts OF
the attending fleet. The cup chal-
enger and the Ailsa were too heavily
canvassed, as they heeled way over,
while the Britannia was standing up
like church. Occasionally, when the
wind softened, the Valkyrie would
rush forward, threatened to overhaul
he leaders, but she would lose in the
blasts that bore her far over. The
Britannia finished one minute and ten
seconds ahead of the Ailsa and three
minutes and eight seconds ahead of the
Valkyrie.
With the allowance she receives
from thesValkyrie the Britannia wins
by several additional minutes.

Divorce Suit.

LONDON, July 3.-The trial ofthe &C.
ton for divorce brought against her
husband by the novelist, Mrs. Crsgie,
known to the literary world as "John
Oliver Hobb," was begun before JUS
tice Sir Francis Jeune this morning.
Mrs. Cragie accuses her husband of
cruelty and adultery. In her CON-
plant she sets forth that her maiden
name was Pearl Richards. She was
born in the United States and married
her husband in 1887, when she was 10
years of age. her husband being an Of
fetal in the Bank of England. During
the first fortnight of their honeymoon,
which was spent in the south of France,
she had suffered in health as the result
of her relations with him and subse-
quently he had threatened to shoot
her. Mrs. Cragie also alleges in h. +
complaint that her husband had re-
peatedly given his friends to under
stand that she had given her consent
to his liaisons with other women. Mrs.
Cragie, who was richly dressed in
brown silk, showed much emotion as
she was called to the witness stand.

Explosion and Fire.

LYNN, Mass, July AT 1850 this
morning there was an explosion of fire
works in front of the L. A. May Com
pany's store at the temporary counter
erected outside the store on the side
walk. Immediately the whole mass OF
tiro works was ablaze and the fusilade
of exploding rockets, cannon crackers,
bombs, etc, startled everybody in the
neighborhood. The flames communi-
Gated to the store and spread with
alarming rapidity. Half an hour after
the fire works exploded the entire
block, which is four stories, was mass
of flames. At - o'clock the fire was
under control and confined to the
Sycamore Hotel block where the i'll
fated store was situated IL is thought
that everybody escaped from the build
ing with possibly one exception, an old
man, who has not been accounted for
as yet. The total loss will reach $780,

The Southern Railway.

NEW YORK, July 3. -Reports yester
day had it that the Southern Railway
has laid its plans for the absorption of
the Seaboard Air Line, though the
rumor is not believed. Such move
on the part of the Southern Railway
would give it practically monopoly of
the southeastern trade, especially the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, where
the Seaboard Air Line is its only
dangerous competitor. The laws OF
Georgia would be the greatest stumb-
ling block in the way of such a
move, as once before when the South
ern, then known as the Richmond
Terminal, scooped every road 10 the
State, it was compelled to release one,
the Western and Atlantic, to allow the
competition provided for by statute.

AS ALMOST every body will have hol-
ilay tome ROW, it will be good day for
reading the Declaration of Independ-
ouce. Many of those who avail them
selves of the opportunity will know
that if the causes assigned in that decla-
ration for rebelling against the London
government in 1776 were sufficient, the
Washington government should deem
itself particularly fortunate in not hay
ing q rebellion on its hands in 1897,
aud that the people of this county
submit to governmental robbery with
more grace than their ancestors.

ROYALTY AND FREEMAsoNRY.-The Earl
of Lathom, Pro Grand Master of England, i'll
the course of an address before lodge a
trinidad, said.
.As regards his Royal Highness, the Grand
Master. who you know is the head of all II
craft, I can assure you from my personal
knowledge that a truer Mason does not exist
in the world. 1t is not often he is abe To
take an active part in our meetings; he gen
orally manages to do so at least once or twice
a year But every matter affecting Masonry,
whether in England or in her dependencies,
is referred to him, and he himself goes into
that matter before it is decided. Long may
lie live to be our Grand Master! The Duke
of York is not a Mason. 1 cannot tell you
why do not know. We are forbidden to in
duce people to become Masons. He does not
seem inclined to join, but We have another
Royal Prince who is true Mason, the Duke
of Conuaught, District Grand Master of Bonn
bay, and Provincial Grand Master of Sussex.
He takes great deal of interest in Free
masonry so that we have very fine warrior
to take the place of the Prince OF Wales shou d
the latter at any time feel it his duty TO retire
from his present position" The speaker con-
cluded by again rendering his sine re thanks
for the welcome he had received.

A WEDDING IN FAUQUIER.-Cool
Spring Church, Delaplsne, was the
scene of lovely wedding on the 26th
ult., the contracting parties being
Edith May, eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Shacklett, and Jackson
Ashby Lehew, of Charlottesville. The
ceremony was performed in most i'm
pressive manner by Rev. II. M. Strick-
Ter. The church was beautifully dec
Grated with palms, evergreens and cut
flowers. The bridal party entered the
church to the sweet strains of Mendel-
ssohn's wedding march, played in fine
manner by Mrs. G. II. Smithers, Of
Charlottesville. The bridal party, as
they formed semicircle around the al
tar, made picture long to be remem-
bered. The bride looked charming in
travelling suit of pearl gray cloth.
Her bouquet was of Mareschal Mel
roses. Miss Lily Shacklett, the BRIDES
sister, acted as maid of honor, and Mr..
Geo. Lehew, of Alexandria, brother Of
the groom, acted as best man. Miss
Mable Stokes, one of Brooklyn's fairest
daughters, and cousin of the bride,
was bridesmaid, her escort being Mr..
Harry Shacklett, brother of the bride.
The ush ars were Messrs. Henry Pfeifer,
John w. Delaplane, Robert Green and
Lyle Shacklett. A wedding breakfast
at the home of the bride preceded the
church services, and was served as only
an old Virginia family can serve one.
The immediate family and home party
were the only guests. The presents
were numerous and costly and show
how highly the young couple are
thought of. Mr.. and Mrs. Lehew. left
on the evening train amid q shower of
good wishes, rice and old shoes for a
trip through the North before going to
Charlottesville, their future home. The
young couple will stop a few weeks

where they will be pleased to see their
friends.

AND NOW the silver convention, even
in Colorado, the peculiar silver State,
has proved a fzzle. No matter what
the cause may be, or by what means
melted, there can be no doubt that, ac-
cording to present indications, free sill
yer coinage is not as popular now as it
has been, and that, like the greenback
craze, it has had its day. How it could
ever have had day, is what many
people who don't understand human
nature cannot comprehend.

A Setback.

AUSTIN, Tex, July 3.-State Comp
troller Finley yesterday gave the
projectors of the Corbett- Fitzsimmons
contest, at Dallas, setback. He says
that after careful consideration he has
reached the conclusion that, while the
act of 1889 provided for an occupation
tax of $500 for every fight between
man and man, the legislature of this
State has by subsequent enactment
made it unlawful for any person to
voluntarily engage in a pGgilistic en-
counter for money.

The LYNoHING in Maryland of the

a girl, affords another apt Illustration of
the i'll effects of the laws delay. The
miserable wretch had been fairly tried
and convicted. ard the best possible
thing that could have been done for him,
and every body else, would have been
his death by the law he had so grossly
transgressed. The Governor, however,
had stayed the execution of the law,
and the people, to their own injury,
took it into their own hands.

Possibly even the Governor of West
Virginia, now, after the strikers in his
State have prevented the industrious
coal miners there from going to work
for two months, may have begun to
conceive the idea that the Governor of
Virginia was not unwise when, by or
dering troops to Pocahontas, he pre-
vented similar condition of affairs in
this State, and that in this. as in all
other cases, an ounce of prevelt ton is
worth more than pound of cure.

Southern republican as a candidate for

Judge Golf, of his own State, for that

no objection to Judge COTS nomina-
