Hopes That the Two Cities Mar
Soon Be Connected by
Bands of Steel.

Hopes of railroad being
built from Sen Antonio to
Brownsville are revived by the
advent of a party Of gentlemen
now I'll Our city, who visit this
section on prospecting tour
in the interest of such q road
After satisfying themselves
that, within a reasonable time.
this road would be self-sup-
porting, proposition will be
made for its immediate con
struction, and a sufficient guar
antee will most likely be given
that the project will be carried
through to a finish within a
certain tune.
While railroad connection
with Che outer world is the
dearest hope of our people, yet
they have been disappointed
so often by similar projects
which have failed Of fealiza-
ton, and they will probably
not be aroused from apathy to
enthusiasm in the matter, I'M
less it be shown beyond a
doubt that the projectors have
substantial backing and that
they are in earnest about bald
ing the road. That these gem
tlemen can and will comply
with this condition, there is lit
tie doubt, and should they de-
eide to make a definite propos-
ition for the construction of the
road, an agreement which will
be mutually satisfactory will
doubtless be speedily made be-
tween them and the citizens of
Cameron county.
1t is the intention to com
mence work at both ends of the
line, and build as rapidly as
will be consistent with the
view of making a first class
road of it.

A SAD SUICIDE.
Albert Champion Shoots Him
self Though the Heart.

The friends of Albert Cham.
pion, a we'll known and highly
esteemed young man Of this
county, were 81 .ked this af
terhoDh to learn that he had
committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the heart,
at twelve o'clock today. The
rash deed was committed at
the ranch of Miguel Werbiski
about three miles from town.
Mr. Champion had been in
town several days with his
family from his ranch near
Santa Maria. This morning he
rode out to Mr.. Werbiski's
place ostensibly on some bus
mess. Reaching there just at
noon, he found the family at
dinner aud was cordially in
vited to dine with them. He
refused, however, and went
towards the rear Of the house,
when presently a short was
heard from the discretion in
which he had gone, and rushing
ont, they found him lying dead.
He had aimed truly, shooting
himself through the heart. The
weapon was a 45 calibre pis-
tol. A messenger was at
once sent to town for JUS
tice Miller and..also to inform
the unfortunate mans family
of the tragic occurrence. Mr..
Miller at once went out and
held the inquest. No cause
whatever, is known for the rash
deed.
The deceased was aged %
years, and had been born and
reared to manhood,,in this coun-
ty. He leaves a wife and one
child, besides a large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn
his untimely end.
The body was brought to
town this afternoon to the res
idence of Mrs. G. Chano, who
is the mother Of the stricken
young wife of deceased. The
funeral will occur from the
Chano residence tomorrow
morning.

Mr.. A. G. McvEY, the yachting expert
Of the Boston Herald, recalls in regard 10
Lord DUNRAvEN's statement that ii was
ont of the question to resail Tuesdays
race after the committee had decided IL,
that the late Sir RICHARD SUTTON estab-
lished an honorable precedent in the
Genesta-Puritan races. The regatta COM
mittee disqualified the Puritan, and told
the late Sir RICHARD SUTTON that he was
awarded the race. Mr.. SUTTON replied:
"I thank you for your decision and de-
cline to accept the race. ] do not come
over here to gain races in that way. /
wish the race TO be resailed."

r. SHEPARD demanded TO know IL a good

retorted that he could, but that every
good Christian could not be good editor.
The point that Mr.. BARRETT raises that
II is difficult for man that has been a
thief TO secure honest employment Is al
ways interesting to the utilitarian. A
witty, II impious, observer has ventured
the statement that the pulpit ia the only
profession where previous bad record
is OF advantage to the possessor. News
paper men as class are upright, honest,
earnest, conscientious, sometimes right
eous. But the elbowing they do with
the world makes them liberal and broad
minded. They are disposed to accept a
fellow at his present worth and not TO
ask any questions. II Evangelist BAR
RETT needs work we shall be glad to have
him associated with us, subject only to
good behavior and his ability to fill the
bill neither prejudiced by his early
career nor favored on account of his later

thieves and bad men who have been
ministers, and reporters who have been
both.

END OF THE cur RACES.

END OF THE cur RACES.
Defender has successfully defended s'the
Americas cup.
She has won three straight races under
the prescribed rules and arrangements
accepted by all parties interested in the
| contest.
The FIRST race was won on its merits.
The second race was won because OF a
foul.
The third race was won because the
competing boat, having started, abandon
ed the race and did not finish.
The record is not OF much gratifica-
tion to the great public aroused TO the
highest pitch OF enthusiasm i'm the con-
test by months OF discussion and antici-
patton, and 1t is an unfortunate record
unparalleled in the history of the cup
contests. But ii must stand. The cir
cumstances permitted the making OF no
other.
The controversy over the decision in
Tuesdays regatta is of course transferred
TO the remarkable episode OF Thursday.
That episode was precipitated by Lord
DUNRAvEN in making peremptory de-
mand on the regatta committee on the
eva OF race foi a changs of base in
schedule laid down under arrangements
completed and agreed TO by the English
and American representatives as far back
as Sept. 3. According TO DUNRAvEN's Is
own statement his demand left no choice
OF answer to the committee. DUNRAvEN
plainly stated that he "would sail II the
committee would take 1t upon themselves
10 declare the race tomorrow void IL, in
their judgment, either vessel be interfered
with"
The inference and the subsequent fact
were that in the absence OF such guaran-
tee he would not sail. The public will
sympatbize with the object OF DUN
RAVENS demand, but the proposition was
OF a nature hardly to be decided otfhand
or without conference with Defenders
people. Since the history OF yacht racing
begun, interference on the course has al
ways threatened. The ocean Is free and
humanity Is inconsiderate Over in En-
gland, vigilant and Britannia were not
infrequently blocked In their contests.
Rowing races often suffer from the same
trouble. As a matter OF fact. the course
was clear, as DUNRAvEN admits, when
the yachts started yesterday. He declined
TO sail not because Of actual interference
but because the committee had not been
able to give an affirmative to his sudden
demand. 1t is regrettable that the cup
races should have wound up in this way.
1t is regrettable TINT interference threat
ened their success. II Is regrettable that
after all the experience that has been had
some such proposition as that made by
DuNRAvEN on Wednesday could not have
been incorporated in the arrangements
for the contest. But there seems to be
no reason why valkyrle should not have
sailed in good faith on Thursday instead
Of making only start and technical
race

tnat day. s,AIwoeE tne New YORK aLo
Baltimore players there exists feeling al
most OF hatred. Ii ~ personal enmity
which grew out Of the Temple cup series
last October aud which illuminated when
sheriff attempted to arrest Captain Davis
during the Giants recent visit 20 Balti-
more The prosecutor was McGraw, and
Davis Escaped a legal squabbic only by Sc
crctly leaving that city. On the contrary,
Davis and Doyle were formerly members
OF the Cleveland team, and there is no per-
sonal Ill feeling between tho Giants and
Tebeau's men.
Now the New York's personal prefer
ences were To SEQ tho Cleyolands win the
pennant. Yet that desire cut no figure in
their games with the Ohio team on Labor
day. In long connection with baseball
1 never saw u team play harder 20 win
than the New Yorks did In both games.
IL would have been easy for the manage
ment to have put the weakest pitchers in
against the Clevclands; but, on the con-
trary, the strongest were called out for
duty, and the result was two victories over
the club which the Giants hoped might
beat their enemies out OF tho coveted prize,
and these two defeats almost destroyed
that very hope.
In speaking TO me afterward Captain
Davis said no realized the peculiar posi-
tion In which his team was placed, and
much as he grieyed to see the Baltimores
got an advantage over tho Clevelands he
wished TO put his team beyond the sus-
picion of treachery, and no felt pleased
that he had done IL.
What other sport Is there which can
show such proofs of absolute honestly Is

ness In the Boston Team and the Other

There arc men playing ball professional
ly who arc regular Jekylls and Hydes--
that is, they are one person on the ball
field and another in everyday life. Many
OF the men who have reputation for
rowdyism on the diamond in their private
walks are much admired. This can be
said especially OF Doyle, Tebeau and
Brodie. The last named at times becomes
almost irresponsible for his actions while
playing ball. Brodie is of an extremely
eZcitable and nervous temperament, and
there are few men playing ball today who
are more earnest In their work than he
These characteristics united mako him a
most unique figure in the profession.
Umpiros are aware Of Walters weakness
and overlook great deal both for his sake
and their own. His action In a recent
gamo when he threw his arm around Um-
pire Hunts neck and almost chokod the
breath out of the latter's body fairly illus
trates the uncontrollability of his nature
when he is thoroughly worked up during

On Wednesday next our city will be
visited by an unusual and a distinguished
company.
1t will be the occasion of "Mayors'
learn with pleasure that the Mayors, the
wives or daughters or "lady friends" of
the Mayors and the members of the gov
ernments OF all the municipalities of New
England are invited to attend the big
fair on Wednesday next and that a very
large proportion OF all these representa-
tive citizens from New England cities
which number some seventy all told have
accepted the invitation and will be with
us on Wednesday next.
Last year a number of the New England
Mayors were present at the fair by a
similar invitation and they formed New
England Mayors Association designing
to have an annual meeting at Narragan-
sett Park on the occasion OF the State
Fair. Next week there are likely to be
forty or fifty municipal executives with
us with their parties to the number of
two or three hundred, perhaps. They will
be welcomed to the city hall by
Mayor OLNEY and properly taken care
of while passing through our city to
the fair grounds. We have no doubt
that they will all be interested in us as
we shall be in them. We shall show them
a fine city'a can only regret that they
are to hurry through to go to the Fair
although we know the fair management
will give them a mighty pleasurable day.
1t is safe to say that there will be more
Mayors in Providence next Wednesday
than ever gathered all at once in one
town before. We commend the hospi-
tality and enterprise of the State Fair
Association in bringing them here and
we know they will all have such good
time that they will look forward eagerly
to coming again next year.
Hurrah for the New England Mayors!
and hurrah for "Mayors' Day."
