defender Valkyrie.

The race for the Americas cup on
last Saturday between the British
Yacht Valkyrie, and the American
Defender, resulted in clean victory
for the American boat, it finishing
eight minutes and forty.nine seconds
ahead of its competitor. The second
race, which was held Tuesday, will un-
doubtedly have to be sailed over, as
the Valkyrie fouled the Defender at
the start breaking the top mast back
stay hence preventing her from using
all her sails.
She hoisted a protest, and notwith-
standing her crippled condition, was
beaten only forty seven seconds. Her
actual gain over the course was one
minute and sixteen seconds, being a
virtual victory. Another race will be
sailed to day. Practically the Defen,
der has not been beaten, and if she
wins to, day, the safety OF the cup is
assured. Should the Valkyrie win,
the next race will be the most exciting
we have ever had.
Since writing tie above, word has
been received that the committee had
sustained the protest entered against
the English boat, she having broken
racing rules, as she had plenty oi
room to pass the Defender windward
This decision gives the race to Defen
der, without the necessity of its being
re-sailed.

1t is supposed that the fire started from
the cinders of the fire in the City the night
before, as charred pieces of wood and
paper still burning were carried by the
strong breeze over the bay.
The flames were first seen on the north
side of the island, moving toward the

1t was feared at one time that the flames

back to the top of the hill.
AS the grass gets two or three feet high

THEY SHOULD NOTEXPLODE
What the Supreme Court Thinks OF Pow
der Works in General-Judson's
Judgment Affirmed

The Supreme Court has affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court in the suit of
Charles G. Judson against the Giant Pow
der Company, in which Judson was
awarded a judgment of SAL ,164 IS for dam
age done his works by an explosion of the
defendants nitro-g lycerine works in 1891.
In the original suit Judson claimed that
the explosion was due to the negligence
of the defendants. The counter claim was
that the accident was caused by the hand
of Providence, and that in any case explo-
sons are always to be expected in pow
der factory, and the plaintiff knew such to
be the case when the works were allowed to
remain there without objection from him.
In rendering its opinion the Supreme
Court holds that when the powder works
were located near other establishments the
neighbors had right to expect that the
manufacture of its product would be car
ried on carefully. In the natural course of
events the Supreme Court believes explo-
sions in a powder-mil are not to be ex-

A Soldiers Answer.

Emperor Napoleon, after one of his great
battles, gathered the remnant of his forces
around him and proceeded to compliment
them in his characteristic manner, SO en-
dearing to the hearts of his soldiers
Finally Company D of the Guards, who
had been in the thick of the fight, were
ordered to present themselves, and to the
establishment of the Emperor a single
soldier appeared. He was bound up in
bandages, and could barely walk.
"Where is the rest of your company?
asked the Emperor.
A tear welled in the old soldiers eye as
he answered: "Your Majesty, they lie on
the field dead" and then sorrowfully
added, "they fought better than liar

A MANS LAUGH NEVER CHANGES.
How the Fact Was illustrated by an
Incident at the Federal Building.

How the Fact Was Illustrated by an
Incident at the Federal Building.
If the Bertillon system of Identification
had Photographic record of the laughs
of criminals it would probably be as near
perfect as an Identification system can be.
The fact that man comes into the world
wailing has been regarded as sort of
prophecy of the truth that, as a rnle, the
sorrows of life outnumber the joys when
all the returns are in, but an optimist
might see an opposite significance in the
fact that a mans laugh remains the same
through all the changing years. When the
cares of manhood succeed to the happy-go-
lucky days Of boyhood this laugh of his
may be called into use, as it were, very
little, but when it is put into operation it
is the same old laugh, and every boyhood
friend would know it instantly, says the
Chicago Times-Herald.
An old soldier who fought through the
war with Fred Hartwick, who drives mail
collectors wagon on the north side, hap
pened to be IN Chicago for week not long
since He heard that Mr. Hartwick was
on Postmaster Hesing's staff and went to
the Federal building to find him. He took
his station at a point past which all the
carriers filed to report for duty and as
Hartwick came along some one pointed
him out.
Without disclosing his own identity the
veteran approached and began asking
Hartwick if he remembered various incl
dents in the history of their regiment dur
ing the war. OF course he did and they
soon fell into conversation, organizing a
kind of campfire meeting between them
selves. One member of the regiment was
in business in New Orleans, another was in
bank down in the State, several were
farming, one was the local manager for
one OF the big commercial agencies in one
of the large cities and so on.
Several times Hartwick asked his old
companion-at-arms his name, but the lat
ter only smiled and went on with the con-
versation. Finally, when it became neces-
sary for them to separate, as Hartwick was
obliged to go out on his run, the man
laughed outright as he said:
"Well, Fred, never thought you'd for
get me after what we went through to-
gether.'
1.-THE minute he laughed" said Mr..
Hartwick, in relating the incident, Il
knew just who he was and all about him,
but hadn't seen him for thirty years and
he had changed SO 1 couldn't have told
him from Adam. His laugh had grown
older, too, of course, but it was the same
old laugh"

the East will be attracted to the coast.
Good purses will be offered, and there is
no exaggeration in the prediction that we
will have many great meetings. We have
everything in our favor in the way of loca-
ton, and there is no reason why the track
should not become one of the most popu-
lar resorts of the City and State. Before
the work is through it will represent many
thousands of dollars, and I think its COM
pletion will mark new era in the blood

A TYPEWR|TER'S CLAIM.
Aftermath of the Late LegiS-
latiVe Election Con-
tests.
The Lady Who Made the transcripts
Thinks She Was Not Paid
Enough.

Louisa Y. Book, young woman, was
plaintiff in suit tried in Justice of the
Peace Groezinger's court yesterday, in
which Howard Vernon, official reporter
for Judge Campbell's court, was defendant.
Miss Book was the typewriter who tran
scribed the proceedings in the Tracy
Wilkinson and the Smith-Devine election
contests, heard some months ago in the
Justices court. Vernon had been appoint
ed reporter for the hearings. with the ex-
press understanding that he would employ
Miss Book and treat her literally.
When the trial came on Vernon was
unable to act, but sent the assistant re-
porter f. Kaiser Kaiser dictated to Miss
Book $50 folios of the proceedings. Her
agreement was that she was to get as
much above the regular rate for her work
&c cents foliol as he received above the
regular rate for his work. She was paid
$51 for the entire work, while she claimed
she should have been paid at the rate OF
% cents folio. She sued for $116 due.
The hearing called into court all the at
taches of the Police Courts, especially the
reporting contingent, and was made gen.
erallv interesting by the crossfire of the
lawyers. George Colwell for the plaintiff
and j. A. Vaughn for the defendant.
Vaughn had taken the expense bills for
the contest down to Sacramento to have
them approved and ordered paid by the
Legislature.
He gave vivid description of that ex-
perience, and declared he would not go
through it again for $1,000. "Why, you
know" he said II was hauled this way and
that by the legislators, touched by this one
and that, until when got through con-
graduated myself on getting away from
the city alive"
Judge Groezinger remarked that he knew
something of that himself. He had been
to Sacramento OH a somewhat similar mis-
sion.
Vernon testified that 1884 had been al
lowed him for the first contest and $3.50 on
the second, but his own share had been
but $75 and $50. respectively. He had had
to divide up so with Kaiser and all the
others.
The court took the matter under advise
ment.
