EXPERT AGREED ON
Financiers Will Tonight
Appoint an Engineer to
Examine Water Bids.
WELLKNoWN In GREENyILIE
No Opposition to Him Expected
From the Street and Water
Commissioners.

The Board of Finance will meet this
evening. An expert to assist the board
in determining what course is best for
them to pursue in disposing of the water
contracts will be appointed. The expert
has been selected already, and he has,
it is understood, consented to act. The
work of finding an expert who is will
ing to devote his whole time to the ques-
ton has not been easy. One gentleman
whom the Commissioners were anxious
to employ wanted to take between foug
and six months in making Investigations
before he would report. To allow so
much time to be consumed at such a
critical period was out of the questions
and the hope of engaging that particu4
lar expert was abandoned.
Yesterday one of the Greenville menss
bers of the board suggested man.
A WELL KNOWN EXPERT.
He is well known expert and Presss
dent Jones and Commissioner Hardens
bel gh expressed willingness to abida
by his decision. Commissioners Simpson
and Bailey held off little bit, it IS,
said, but they have consented. Their
three colleagues prevailed upon thenls
however, to go over into their eamps
and after long conference it was daas
cluS& TO give the expert Ol N1TeSIl~
villes selection unanimous vote to-
night. The name of the expert will b@
officially forwarded to the Street and
Water Board, and it then remains te
be seen whether they will approve Of
his engagement.
The Street and Water Commissioners
have about as much to say about the
employment of an expert as the Finance
Commissioners, but it is thought likely
however that there will be little or no
opposition to the expert to be named
tonight.
WANT TO BE SATISFIED.
The Street and Water Commissioners
like the Finance Commissioners, want ia
satisfy themselves that the expert is dis5
interested in every particular, and then
they will assist him all they possibly
can. In addition to appointing an ex-
pert tonight, the Finance Commissioners
expect to receive an opinion from Cor
poration Counsel Blair as to the legality
made by the Street and Water Board to
the East Jersey Water Company. The
Street and Water Commissioners feel
confident that whoever the expert may
be, he will, after careful eKaInination
of the various propositions, and an IN
spection of the sources of supply, loca-
tion of intake and reservoirs, report
that the only ore worthy OF serious conT
sideratien is that of the Jersey City
Water Company, to which the centracg
for permanent supply has been awards

GRAVITY WON THE FIGHT.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. Aug. 20, 1886
Genesse Valley Park was crowded yes
ter afternoon with people who went to
ssee another attempt made by inventor
Cooley, the air ship man from Hornells-
Vile, to fly his bird. 1t was a fight be-
tween Yankee ingenuity and the centre
of gravitation, and the latter came out
ahead Long guy ropes were stretched
and by this means the ship was raised
about six feet to allow the wind to
get under her happers, while others
pulled and ran with the anchor line.
She rose four or five feet or more when
the bird took plunge to the earth
landing on her side. second att
tempt was just as successful. Mr.. Cooley
is not yet discouraged and says he will
give another exhibition on Labor Day.

been a rumor here that Maxine Gomez
is dead. Some say he died of fever, and
others of a wound he received in the
battle of Bayamo. Several papers here
have published the news as a rumor,
but none officially. OF course, the ma
iority-,do not believe it, as, if true, the
Government would take care to have it
published officially. because naturally
his death would be great blow to the
rebels. 9t
On the goth inst. 900 rebels, under
Jose Macco and Periquito. Perez visited
several plantations not far from this

for the Scotland Lightship.
There was a thick haze off shore and
it looked as though it was drifting land
ward This indicated that the wind
would haul to the south.
Valkyrie did not reach the Lightship
in time to witness the start. 1t was
II :S6 before she passed the Lightship and
the big racers We're then over mile
away on their course. She headed down
for the racers but did not seem to be
going fast enough to overtake them.
At noon the wind was still from the
west but had dropped to a very faint
breeze and not sufficient to fill the bal
looms which the yachts had up. The
Defender was about eight lengths ahead
The valkyrie seemed to be gaining on
the racers. At noon she was about a
mile astern and her sail appeared to be
drawing better than those of the Ameri-
cans.
AT 11:4s A. NJ the wind had almost
died out 1t was blowing not more than
three miles an hour. Valkyrie was head
ing down toward where the yachts are.
She had broken out her balloon top
sail and seemed to enjoy the light breeze.
1t was very hazy, but as near as could
be judged the Defender was still about
an eighth of a mile ahead of Vigilant.
The latter seemed to hold on to her rival
very gamely.
At y o'clock the wind changed to about
west The yachts We're very close to-.
gether, couple of minutes later both
were becalned. Falkyrie was less than
mile behind.
At 1920 p NJ. the Defender changed
her course and headed almost due east.
The vigilant followed suit. The VAL
kyrie was also standing almost due east,
but she put about and headed north
ward, having apparently seen all she
wanted of the yachts.
At 1:12 P. NJ. the vigilant was appar-
emily looking for wind and frequently
deviated from her true course The De-
fender appeared to hold her course and
it looked as though she had increased
her lead There was scarcely more than
a ripple on the water out where the
boats were.
Defender turned the first stakeboat at
POI; vigilant turned six and a half min
utes later.
In the first leg of the course, Valkyrie
came within half mile of the racers,
when she lost her wind and drifted about
for half an hour. She then headed back
toward the Lightship.
