THREE BOATS TO BE BUILT
Britishers Will Make Big Effort
to Take Away the Cup.
Prince of Wales, Earl of Dudley and
n Syndicate Are Having
Plans Made.

New York, Oct S-The fact cabled from
London on Saturday that Charles Day
Rose is willing to withdraw his challenge
for the Americas cup in favor of Lord
Dunraven or any other member of the
Roayl Yacht Squadron who wishes TO
challenge with a new boat in 1886 has
brought to the surface the news that the
Britons intend keeping the boat builders
busy the next six months
A yachtsman, a member of the New
York and several other yacht clubs,
who is in close touch with British yachts
men, having recently returned from Eu-
rope, made this statement:
Yes, have heard that Rose is W illinG
to withdraw and l am not bit surprised,
knowing the situation over there as j do.
The fact is three boats are to be built
on the other side and the fastest of the
three will be selected 10 meet the American
boat A Scotch syndicate will build one,
the Earl of Dudley another, and the Prince
of Wales q third
Then you believe that Rose will with
draw-that it was an understood thing
from the first
We'll, no, l think things have de-
veloped rapidly, that's all: and that if
a member of the squadron wants to
challenge, Rose will not stand in the
way"
who will design the boats?"
at is pretty cetain that Watson will
design the Princes boat, and he may
also be chosen by the Scotch syndi-
cate"
Then soper will probably design the
Earl Of Dudley's boat
mo, indeed. He may look after the
spars and rigging, but he will not de-
sign the boat: that will be done by r. H.
Froude. and l believe he will turn out a
splendid yacht. Froude has all the data at
hand that will enable him to turn out a
very fast boat. There will be no expense
spared in the Earl of Dudley's case, for he
is immensely rich, and the designer and
builder will be given carte blanche when
the time comeS.'
Has not the rumor that the Prince of
Wales was about to challenge been fire.
quently denied?"
at probably has, and the denial is
true: he will not challenge. 1t would
not look well for him to do SO. Another
man will challenge, but the Prince will
build, and the challenger can have his
boat to send over here when the time
comes, if she is fast enough. As Com
modore Of the Royal Yacht Squadron,
it would not be good form for the Prince
to challenge. Besides, it would be equiv
alent to the government challenging"

streets, viii be laid this afternoon at 4
O'Clock.
This church is the outgrowth of a band
OF fifty y-seven, who in 1875 withdrew from
their church and formed a new one. Ser
vices were held for short time in a hall
on Ninth street. In 1876 they built a small
frame church at the corner OF Ninth and
p streets, which was named after one of
the bishops, Hanine NJ E. Church.
When Hamline Church built its present
edifice, the small frame building was pur-
chased by the Fifteenth Street N. E.

as place of worship until the present

EDMUNDS ACT CONVICTIONS
Test Case in Appeal Argued By
Counsel for Chase.
Intend to Apply the Law to
the District.

The first test case for an alleged viola
ton OF the Edmunds law came up before
the court of appeals this morning, and
upon its determination will rest the validity
of the act and the legality OF the conyic-
ton and sentence OF some half score OF
alleged law-breakers who have had to
spend part OF the last six months in Jail
The case was that OF Charles II. Chase
and Mary Jackson. alias White, both col
ored. They were indicted June II, 1885.
The original trial was before Judge Cole.
The defendants counsel tried to have the
Indictment quashed, but were unsuccessful
Messrs, Alexander Wolf and ID. W. Baker
argued the appellants case this morning,
and Mr.. Tracey l.. Jeffords, assistant dis
trict attorney, represented the Govern
ment. There were three assignments of
errors made by the counsel for the ac-
cused. 1t was held that the
court erred in overruling the motion to
quash the Indictment. in permitting Mary
Jackson's husband to testify, and in not
granting the motion of the counsel for the
defense to instruct the jury to bring in a
verdict for the defendants.
Mr.. Wolf led in the argument for the ap-

RELEASED ON COLLATERAL.
Tenleytown Wire StrlnGinS Case t,
Be Tried Friday.

David NJ. Anderson, the electrician, en-
ployed by the Tenleytown Electric Rail
way, who was arrested yesterday for
strinGing additional wires along the line
of the company's road, was released in
police court to-day on $50 collateral
Mr.. Henry T. Purdy, the superintendent
of the road, was also apprehended and
required to give $500 bonds to appear
before the court Friday, for which day
the trial is set.
The charge against Anderson and Purdy,
preferred by Policeman Berry, as told ex-
clusively in The Morning Times of yes
terday, is occupying public space.
Anderson had charge of the work which
was interrupted by Sergt HaDey and a
squad of police. Anderson and his men
were stringing wires last Sunday morning,
which the superintendent claims are simply
guard wires TO prevent possible contact
between broken telegraph or telephone
wires that might fall across the bare
trolley wire. The authorities claim, how
ever, that the additional wires are being
strung in violation of the District regu-
lations, whatever their purpose or func-
ton may be.

San Francisco, Oct. S.-With today be-
gins the eleventh week of the trial of Will
lam Henry Theodore Durrant. The defense
is rapidly nearing its close, and it is thought
that Thursday at latest Mr.. Deuprey will
announce TO the court the last OF his client S
defense.
The topic of absorbing interest at present
is, VIII Student Graham be able 10 satisfac-
torily substantate his story in regard TO
the request of Durrant for copy OF his
notes OF DR.. Cheney's lecture on that most
important of all days to the defendant,
April 3?
DEFENSE'S CLAIM.
The defense claim that he will not. They
affirm that the details of his statement
are q tissue of Misrepresentation, not in
territorial perhaps, but none the less un-
true. They refer confidently to the fact
that Durrant's notes of that particular lect-
ure have been in their possession nearly
ever since their clients arrest, and that
consequently Durrant could have had no
object in asking Graham for them.
The prosecution, however, laugh at this
sort of thing, bat they go little bit further
than this. They affirm that not only VIII
DR.. Graham repeat his story, but he Will
be able to corroborate every word of it.
1t may be remarked that one OF the first
revelations made in the now more than
famous case was a statement made by Z.
F. GlaSer, a student at the Cooper College,
that he Furnished his notes to Durrant April
10, or just four days prior to his arrest
for the Emanuel Church murders.
If Durrant had these notes it is appar-
ent. il will be argued, that he had no use
for those of Graham.
DIR. CHASER was witness in the pre-
Bminary examination last May and stated
substantially these facts. Durrant said
at the time he made the request that
there were n few points he had failed
to cover, though he gave no jntination
either direct or otherwise that he was not
in full possession of general informa-
tion concerning DR.. Chcney's lecture of
April 3.
Student Graham has not been seen in
the city since he gave out the story that
may prove to be Durrant's undoing. Sun
day it was stated by persons who claimed
to know that Graham was out of the
city, presumably to avoid interviewerS.
NOT HIDING.
1t appears now, however, and this
statement is made with the authority of
]. S. Dunnigan, who induced Graham to
give his story to the public, that he was
in hiding at some friends house and
only left the city yesterday morning.
Student Graham was summoned by the
prosecution some months ago, but after
his appearance on the stand for the de-
fense last week, was again served with
subpoena requesting his presence in court
next Thursday morning.
1t is expected that Durrant will recount
the story of his movements on that fatal
April Sd, though his attorneys are not
fully determined on that point. The de-
fense closed, Mr.. Barnes will introduce
testimony in rebuttal, and with that comes
Student Graham. This will be followed
by other evidence, which it is claimed by
the prosecution will be more damaging
than any yet introduced.

PACIFIC ROADS DEBT.
Nearly SO ,OOO, 900 Soon Falls Due
on the Bonds.

The Treasury Department is confronted
with an embarrassing matter in the neces-
sity for providing funds to meet obliga-
tions of the Government growing out of its
relations to the Pacific railroads.
Within the next few months there will
fall due $s,64O, 900 of bonds issued on ac-
count of these railroads.
Notice has already been given that the
$640 900 due on November will be paid
on that date, but the payment in January
and February are more serious questions.
These amounts, it is understood, were
not included in Secretary Carlisle's calcu-
tions upon which he based his estimates of
receipts and expenditures for the current
year, and il some means could be found to
obviate the necessity Of disbursing that
amount of cash, they " would be gladly well
coined. The Secretary will doubtless rec
ommend In his report to Congress that legis-
lation be passed by which the bonds can
be refunded at Lesser rate Of interest,"

The condition of Gardner G. Griswold,
OF No. 14OS Bacon street, Mount Pleasant,
who narrowly escaped death by aspbyxia-
ton on Sunday night, is unchanged. He
Is still unconscious, and the attending
physicians. Drs. Harding and Caldwell,
have small hope OF his recovery.
Mr.. Griswold resides with his children

Misses II. NJ. and Mary j. Griswold
He retired about O'Clock Sunday night,
as exclusively told in to-day's Morning
Times, and as he was leaving the family
downstairs his son told him not to use
the electrical fixture on the gas burner,
as it was out of order. The old gentleman,
In all probability, forgot the warning, and
pulled the short chain which operates the
fixture. This extinguished the light,
but failed to cut off the flow of gas.
When he did not come down to breakfast
the family became alarmed, and one of
the daughters went upstairs. After trying
in vain to awaken the ,old man by rapping
at his door, she opened it and was almost
overcome by the rush of gas. She found
her father unconscious, frothing at the
mouth, and breathing very hard.
Mr.. Grlswold was employed in the Sixth
Auditors Office for twenty years, but was
let out some time ago. He is a lineal
descendant of Matthew Griswold, Governor
Of Connecticut.
