THE ST. LOUIS HAS 4 RACE.
Beats the Augusta Victoria in a
1OO-Mile Sprint-The Pas
sengers Aboard.

New York, Aug. 31.-There was an
interesting race between the American
line steamer st. Louis and the Ham
American line steamer Augusta Vic
toria for the last 100 miles Of the pas
sage from Southampton. The ST. Louis
overhauled the German boat and at 1902
a. m. both vessels crossed the bar. The
American liner was some lengths ahead
when the race ended at quarantine.
Through a mistake the Augusta Vic
toria was boarded and cleared first by
the health officers and started for her
pier half an hour before the st. Louis.
The passengers on the latter were indig-
nant. It is said that the steering gear of
the St. Louis gave out when she was
nearing Sandy Hook, and it was neces-
sary to steer the ship with her twin pro-
pellers for time The ships officers re-
fused 20 confirm or deny this story, but
a number of passengers spoke positively
about it. The steering gear was evident
" all right when the steamer left quar-
antine.
The St. Louis beat her record from
Southampton to Sandy Hook by a little
more than half an hour. Among the pas
engers were the Cambridge athletes, who
are to compete with Yale, and the repre-
sentatives of the London Athletic club
who are to meet the New York Athletic
clubs representatives.

MANY MINERS DROWN.
Owners Haggle Over the Expense
of Pumping Until a Flood
Occurs.

Central City, Col, Aug. 3O.-Twenty-
nine men were working in the Sleepy
Hollow and Americas mines when they
were accidentally flooded last night. All
who escaped were engaged at points,
above the line Of the break. All below
at the time were almost instantly SUBJ
merged and their bodies must lie there
for weeks
The names of the dead are:
In the Americus-Oivia Patnoster, aged
95, married, wife and two children; Achllia

lero, single, aged 20; J. Perko, single; Mar

The calamity is one which has not been,
unexpected. For three years past a
dispute between the owners of the sew.
eral mines in the group has been over
the question of drainage. The Gregory.

VETERANS IN BERLIN.
German-Americans Pay a Visit to
United States Ambassador
RunyOn.

Berlin, Aug 31-The German-Ameri-
can veterans arrived here at / o'clock
this afternoon. They were met by dele
cations mlthirty veterans associations,
headed by the Veteran corps in uniform
and band of music, which were drawn
up in front of the railroad station. When
the visitors left the train the band played
Deutschland Uebe Alles,' and they were
warmly welcomed by the members of the
receiving committee. The Americans
were presented with laurel wreaths by
two ladies of honor and received an ova-
ton from the large crowds of people as
sembled about the depot.
The American visitors then entered
carriages and proceeded to the United
States embassy, which was reached at
1890 p. N. A delegation consisting of
twenty prominent members of the Ger
man-American Veteran corps then paid
its respects to the United States am
bassador, Theodore Runyon. Comrade
Schlenke of Chicago, who was the spokes-
man of the party, said that the veterans
had returned to their old home in order to
take part in the national celebration of
the many victories of 1901, but he as
sured the United States ambassador that
the German-American veterans were pre-
pared, it the country of their adoption
called upon them, to fight for the stars
and stripes as Loyalty as they did twenty
FIVE years ago for the German tri-color.
After acknowledging the compliment
paid him by the visit of the veterans, Mr..
Runyon said that the discharge of patri-
otto duty was honored everywhere and
that patriotic service to the land of ones
birth is an assurance of fidelity to the
country of ones adoption, Mr.. Runyon
concluded with wishing visitors a
pleasant stay in Germany and safe re-
turn to the United States, with best
wishes for their welfare.

INTEREST IN THE HINsHAW CASE.
DanviIle Residences Are Turned Into
Boarding Houses.

Boarding Houses.
Indianapolis Ind, Sept 2.-The trial
of Rev. William e. Hinshaw, the young
Methodist minister, who is in Jail under
Indictment charged with the murder Of
his wife, will begin Wednesday morning
in the Hendricks county circuit court at
Danyille, Ind. Over 200 witnesses have
been subpoenaed and 4 special yenire
of 100 talesmen have been drawn from
which to select Il jury. Some of the
best legal talent IL the state is employed
on each side The town is greatly ex-
cited over the trial and nearly every
residence has been turned into 4 board
ing house.
In a nutshell, the case of the state is
that the minister was not true to his
wife: that he was enamored of one Of
the young women who attended his
church; that as Il result there were fire.
Quent quarrels between himself and his
wife; that on the night of the murder,
after returning from filing a country APP
pcintment. there was a final quarrel,
during which the preacher drew a re-
yolver from under the pillow of the bed
they occupied and shot her dead. Then,
for the purpose of covering his tracks,
he turned the gun upon himself, taking
care that the ball should not penetrate
any vital part. The defense will adhere
to the minister's original story. that his
wife was murdered by burglar and
that he himself narrowly escaped SINH
lar fate. His congregation has stood by
him and has retained Henry \. Spaan.
the noted criminal lawyer of Indianapo-
lis to assist III the defense.
