Defender Selected to Contend for the Cup
New York, August SO.-The third So,
called trial race between Defender ana
Vigilant. which took place to-day, was
a good deal of a farce. Defender won
over a course of ten miles to windward
and return by five minutes and twelNe
seconds, when she could have crossed
the finish line anywhere from eight 70
ten minutes ahead OF Vigilant If she nad
been sailed for all she was worth. Nlg-

she always is, in the most sportsman
like manner. In view Of Defender 5
great work yesterday on a run before
the wind many people thought she
should beat Vigilant to-day. On the
contrary Vigilant gained ten SECONDS
or her and Defender was the winner by
five minutes and twelve seconds.
The racers had not proceeded a mile
on their course when the English yacht
Valkyrie loomed up to the northward'
bearing down from the point of SANDY
Hook. She was never closer TO the Nlgl-
liant tim five miles; but even at that dis
tance it could be seen that the chal-

SHOT IN THE FACE:
James Sims Mortally Wounded by a
Revolver Bullet Yesterday.
The Rumors That 1t Was a Suicidal
Attempt Denied by the Family.
Alive Last Night, But Cannot Re
cover-Particulars Of the Unfor-
tunate Affair.

James, better known as Cap" Sims,
one of the best known and most popu-
lar compositors in the city, was shot in
the face yesterday morning about seven
o'clock and mortally wounded.
Sims ate his breakfast shortly be-
fore that hour with his mother and sis
ter, and then retired to his room, tell
ing them as he was leaving, that he
wished to see them He proceeded
directly to his room, and while the
members of the family were about to
go to him, they were startled by
the report of pistol shot They rush
ed up stairs and found him sitting in a
rocking chair with a revolver lying be-
side him, and ugly hole in his face,
over the right eye. He was placed on
the floor and neighbors summoned i'm
mediately Drs Reed Baird and i. d..
Wilson were called in, and they found
the injured man il an unconscious con-
ditiOn. They did all in their power for
him, but he did not regain conscious
ness during the day, and a telephone
message to one of the attending ply
sicians at midnight elected the infOr-
nation that he was still living, but
that death was simply a question Of a
few hours at most. The physicians
probed for the bullet, and found that it
had gone straight into the head, and
had lodged about the centre.
Reports were in circulation to the
effect that the shooting was done de-
liberately and with suicidal intent, but
this is denied by members Of the fam
lily. The weapon used was an old re-
volver which has been lying about the
house for years. 1t was % calibre
pistol. Members Of the family say that
he was cleaning the weapon, and that
it was accidentally discharged. The
point at which the bullet entered the
head would appear to support this
statement.
Sims was one of the most popular
printers in this section of the Ohio Val
ley. He has been employed continu-
ously ut the Intelligencer for about fif-
teen years, and was generally a steady
and reliable workman. He held "ad
cases on that paper. He was about IS
| years of age and made his home with
his father Charles Sims watchman al

Parkersburg, w. Va, August 30
Train-wreckers made a dastardly and
successful attempt at train-wrecking on
the o. R. road last night. and the men
in charge Of therain had miraculous
escape from death. S,uth-bound freight
left here last night at the usual time,
in charge Of Walter Scrogin, engineer,
and Fireman Oney F. Barrett. The
train was a heavy one, nearly all the
cars being loaded.
When the train reached Portland
about midnight the uainmen observed
that the station house had been destroy
ed by fire At that point there IS short
spur track, probably about 100 feet long
which runs to the edge of the river bank
The train was under full headway and
ran off the main track on to the spur
and off the spur track down over the
river bank.
Both Scrogin and his fireman jumped
from the train before it went over the
bank and saved themselves from instant
OeilQ. GdIIeLt ltS Wdo ~ OhVus buC
Scr0gin escaped injury, although he was
pretty we'll shaken up.
The engine when it went over the
bank turned over on its side and five
cars piled up on the top of it and all
were pretty badly wrecked. The tracks
were cleared and the morning trains
were delayed about an hour. Barrett,
who lives at Vincent O., was brought
up on the train this morning at 1910,
and taken to his clearinghouse, but
Engineer Scrogin remained at the scene
Df the wreck.
An examination disclosed that the
switch had been turned from the main
to the spur track and then locked, and
It was clearly the deliberate intention
to wreck the train. The station, it was
ascertained, had been burned down some
time before the arrival Of the train.
The parties who perpetrated the das-
tardly work are known and Deputy
Shelf Flower left here this afternoon
armed with a warrant for their arrest.

DUN & CO.'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, August 3O-R. G. Dun &

issues tomorrow, will say:
Improvement in markets and prices
continues. and whereas a few months
ago everybody was nursing the falnteSt
hopes OF recovery, it has now come 20

crease of business may go too far. A
strong conservative feeling is finding
EXPIRE ssion, not as yet controlling the
markets or industries, but warning
against too rapid expansion and rise.
The advance in prices of iron and is
products has added about 81 per ton
more in a single week to the price o.
Bessemer iron at Pittsb1~y, and yet
the great steel companies are buying
wherever they can. while the air is
full of reports that this or that finished
prodect will further advance.
Many of the ablest men deplore this
rapid rise. not that it may expose some
branches of foreign competition, ana
urge that consumers begin to hesitate.
But the various combinations which
now control many iron products have
so successfully lifted prices thus Tar
that the markets seem to lack She re-

to get all they can for them.
The prospects for wheat has hardly
improved this week, though the price
has fallen IL cents. Western receipts
have decidedly increased. Atlantic eX-
ports are only 1,373,356 for the week,

year. In the past four weeks. Atlantic
exports have been only 4,36S, $50 bush

this alone is quite enough to explain
the failure to maintain the sensational
advance in prices. which so effectively
checked the outgo.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
Philadelphia Republicans VIII OPP
poss Interference by Senator Quay.
There Has Been No Treaty of Peace.

Philadelphia, Pa, August S0.-The
Philadelphia Republicans still insist
that the city shall not be governed by
outsiders. This sentiment was put into
the following form by one of the lead
ers:
Senator Quay has only proved him
self master of a majority of the State
convention delegates. He is weaker in
the party than he has been for ten
years. and there will be no surrender.
The principle of home rule will be
fought for without interruption so far
as Philadelphia is concerned. If Quay
shall attempt to dictate Republican
nominations in this city hereafter he
will meet exactly what ne encountered
in the Penrose disaster last winter, and
that was a Waterloo. Even as chair
man of the State Committee he Will
have to keep hands off the affairs of
this town unless he care to be defeated
again
Ex-Collector Cooper, who took a
prominent part in behalf OF senator
Ouav for State chairman, expressed
himself with reference to the Republi-
can situation in Pennsylvania by say
ing: 1T was only a truce, not treaty
of peace. A treaty Of peace has not
been signed. The convention was at
an end and the truce was over. The
fght Will be continued
It is not a fight on Quay, but 1t IS a
fight to prevent him from interfering
in city matters which do not concern
him. Such leading Republicans as
Hamilton Disston, District ATTORNEY
Graham. Mayor Charles F. Warwick
and David Martin are just as firmly re-
solved as ever not to submit to dlcta-
tion from the Beaver county man. Inc
Senator's hot-headed supporters here
boast that they propose to organize in
every precinct of the city. Senator
Penrose will assume to he the Quay
chief here with ex-Magistrate Durham
and Senator Thomas as first lieuten-
ants. 1t is charged that they VIII at

ANOTHER ADVANCE.
The Price of Pig Iron Reaches s17 and

Piusburg. August 30.-Pig iron has
advanced TO S17 and steel billets to S24
per ton. This makes a total advance
for pig iron of over 81 per ton in the
past eight days and billets have gone
up 81 within a week The cause for
this stimulation i'm the iron market is
liberal buying by the railroads and the
heavy demand for structural iron for
bridges. etc. Judging by orders now at
hand ain the furnaces Will be busy from
now until January 1. The heaviest or
ders are from the West. Another iea-
ture of the boom is that the price Oh
pig iron has reached the point where
the tariff fails to keep out foreign com

there will soon be plenty Of English

stop at Honolulu as usual. When off
that port the steamer was hailed by
the American consul in a small boat.
who announced that cholera had broken
out in Honolulu among the natives and
Chinese. The cholera broke out soon
after the steamer Belgic left on her
last trip. 1t is presumed the disease
was brought in by that vessel. The
Monowai did not enter Honolulu har-
Dor, but steamed direct to San Fran
cisco. Her passengers for Hawaii were
brought here. There had been eight

was $3.50, 900 worth of stock in a West

thought to be worthless, but 1t now ap-
pears to be valuable. The mine is pay
ing a fair dividend and the stock is
nearly at par The indications are
that the depositors in the wrecked bank
will be paid a good dividend, with the
prospects that ultimately they may re-
ceive their deposits back in full.
