AILsA DEFEATS BRITANNIA EASILY
Prince OF Wales Yacht Comes In Second In
the Race.

CANNES, March Under the influence
yachts Britannia, Ailsa and Corsair started
today in a race of the greatest interest to
all yachtsmen, as enabling them to form an
idea of the ability of the new cutter which
may race at New York for the Americas
cup Corsar got the best of the start,
for prizes amounting tofS0s f25 and "a for
all yachts over 20 rating, now held by
Britannia q 5l
w. Fife, jr, the designer of the Ailsa,
and Ratsey, the famous English sailmaker,
were on board the new cutter which, it is
now stated, allows Britannia only one min
ute, twelve seconds, instead of two min
utes, as announced yesterday,
To make the scene stl1 more attractive,
soon after the big yachts started, a fleet
of nine French war ships appeared In the
roadstead, and added considerably to the
attractions OF the day.
The prince of Wales with party of
friends was on the Britannia. The Corsair
was soon left behind, and the race was be-
tween the Ailsa and the Britannia The
latter had the lead at 1:25 p. M, when the
Ailsa passed her to the windward and then
had every prospect Of winning the race.
The times at the finish were: Ailsa,
2:21:22; Britannia, 2:24:O8. Ailsa won by
2:36 actual time, but she allows Britannia
one minute, twelve seconds, and therefore,
the new cutter only wins by one minute,

City Councli Meeting.

The city council held a rather spiNtless
meeting last night. Few matters Of public
importance came up for consideration. Peti-
tions were presented from the Grand hotel
and Ogden house praying for exemption from
payment of taxes for five years under the
provisions of the ordinance passed a number
of years ago for the encouragement Of manu-
featuring enterprises. Both petitions were
referred.
Estimates of the paving on Oakland avenue
with the exception of the intersections were
ordered published according to law. The
question of whether the contractor should be
paid in cash. bonds or certificates was left to
be decided at the next meeting, but 1t was
decided to pay for the intersections in cash
@: bonds
Tho election returns were canvassed in a
perfunctory way, and the result showed no
material change in the figures published in
This Bec Tuesday morning.
Tho publication Of the city ordinances was
ordered to be brought up to date.
Tho committee on streets and alleys was
ordered to discover some means of removing
the short section of street car track laid on
North Eighth street, by which the Interstate
Street Railway company hoped to hold its

a good many accidents and oceans of pro-

Fatal shooting Array which Grew Out of
Dcfamatory Remarks Made About
Some Reputable Young
Ladies.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March News
reached here today from Temerane Oak, Lime
stone county, Of a triple tragedy which oc-
cured there last evening AS the result
James and Martin Lentz, brothers, are dead
and Luke Coleman is seriously wounded. All
were prominent young men and the best Of
friends until a few days ago, when Coleman
repeated a story which he claimed the Lentz
boys had told him, which was defamatory TO
the character of several highly connected
young ladies in that neighhorhood. When
friends of the young ladies' heard the story
they began TO trace it down. Coleman re-
ferred them to the Lentz boys, but the latter
denied they had told the story. This caused
bad blood between the young men, and last
evening when Coleman was returning home
he was waylaid by the Lentz brothers. They
sprang out as he passed, and one Of them
seized his horses bride while the other struck
him with a rock and shot him in the arm.
Coleman quickly returned the fire, emptyng
his revolver. James Lentz was shot in the
abdomen and Martin in the lungs, Coleman
then rode hurriedly away, sending medical aid
to the wounded men, but both have since
died. Public sympathy seems to be with
Coleman, who claims self-defense.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Iron Age

there is little hope of any recovery in nom

of the latter have been made to eastern

of bessemer pig, but little prospect, through
producers necessities in foundry grades.
Only rush in the demand can bring that
about The coke situation is puZzling.
There Is uneasineSS as to renewed labor
troubles and some evidence that producers
are maneuvering for an advance. The pur-
chases of bessemer pig by the three leading
Pittsburg concerns are estimated at an ag-
gregate Of about 125,OO0 tons, which clears
the market for some time to come.
A good deal of work Is in sight in finished
iron and steel. st. Louis has 1000 cars to
place. 1t Is estimated thus far orders for
q, 900 cars have been given out which Is a
considerable improvement over last year.
For structural work the outlook is. quite
pleasing with, reference to tonnage; The
pany, Involving upwards of 100000 tons, Is
soon to be given out. There is a prospect OF
good deal of work in building iron. The
steel rail trade continues slow. Still east

with the city council while it was acting as
a committee of the whole yesterday after
noon asking for the remission of the city
tax for the year 1894. The petition set forth
that the company had expended $19,450 in
opening the Grand hotel, and. that the estab-
lishment paid no rent for the year ending
August. 1896. Speeches were made by Lucius
Wells and George II. Wright on behalf of
the company, In which they asked that the
company might be allowed to come in for a
benefit under the ordinance passed by the
