THIRTEEN MINERS DROWNED.
An Overflow of Water in the Mines the
Cause of the Disaster.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 29.-News was
received this evening from Central City
to the effect that thirteen men employed
in the Sleepy Hollow and Americus
mines, situated midway between Black
Hawk and Central City, lost their lives
by an overflow of water.
And yet no other details of the disas-
ter can be learned, but it seems that in
these mines, heavy underground floods
of water are occasionally encountered.
The men were at work on the night
shift. The theory advanced seems to be
that they were drilling a hole when the
body of water came rushing down upon
them. Another theory is that there
might have been a break down in the
pumps.

Ihase the Racefs Dut soon Fell into
Calm and Returned to Her Moor
ings--But Experts Who Watched Her
Say that Even in a Very Light Air
She Can Beat the VigiIant-- Commit
tee Not Yet Satisfied with Defender.
New YORK, Aug. 29.-The second
trial race between Defender and Vigi-
liant over triangular course eight miles
to the leg, starting from the Scotland
Llghtship, was one of the most interest
ing events that ever took place in New
York harbOr. There were all kinds of
weather from almost a dead calm up to
blow Of forty miles an hour There
was reaching, close hauled sailing, run
ming before the wind, and free reaching
before the race was over. In every
point Of sailing and in every kind
OF weather the Defender showed her
self to be far superior to the Vigilant.
The Valkyrie made little bit of show
of herself while the racers were at work,
but it was so little that no estimate
could be placed on her qualities as com
pared with that Of either Defender or
Vigilant The growing interest in
yachting was proven by the large number
of boats of all kinds that went outside
the hook to see the racers sail.
Soon after crossing the line Defender
took in her jib, finding it to be Of no
use. Three minutes later the Vigilant's
jib was hauled down. Both boats stood
well off to the southwark, which gave
them beam wind. For a couple of
miles the breeze continued to blow at
the rate of seven or eight miles an hour
and they went ahead fast. The Defender
continually gained on the Vigilant, until
at the end of two miles she had a lead of
over half mile.
AT this time Valkyrie, who had come
out from her berth inside the hook
showed up in the open and undertook
to chase the racers. She fell into the
same breeze that Defender and Vigilant
had had when they started on their
journey and carried with her down the
course for two miles when it collapsed.
Defender and Vigilant had the breeze to
desert them some time before and they
were only standing still when the English
boat nearly came up to them.
When Valkyrie got down to within
three quarters of a mile of Vigilant and
was half mile to leeward and found her
sells in practical calm, she went about
in laboring way and headed for home
Experts who watched the English boat
said that even in that very light air and
the smooth kind of a sea, she made
good deal of commotion from her bows,
even more than Vigilant.
In every point of sailing throughout
the race the Defender not only outsailed
the Vigilant, but beat her almost ridicu-
lously.
And yet the Americas Cup Commit.
tee does not seem to be satisfied that
the Defender is the better boat, for they
have ordered another trial race for to-
morrow. Be that as it may, the follow
ing table will show how Defender beat
Vigilant:

SWAMP FIRE UNDER CONTROL.

Appleton, Wis, Sept. 12.-[Special1 J.
Fire in the big swamp in the town of
Center, is now under control and the
danger is past. The fire reached the old
logging road last night. AS it was large
ly in the ground among the roots, half
buried windfalls and peaty bogsoil with
comparatively little surface and as the
very light wind was against it, the
barrier proved effective and was not
passed. Favorable breezes and light
showers today have tended to still furth-
er check the fire which is now quite
certain to burn itself out in its present
area of 100 acres in the peaty soil.
The gangs of farmers and threshers
who have been fighting the fire have
withdrawn from the field leaving small
guard on watch as a matter OF precau
ton. The damage done is comparative
ly small, only few fences and windfall
timber. Swamp fires are also burning in
several places in the northern end of the
county in the towns of Seymour, Cicero
and Osborn, but little damage has yet
been done.
The fire on the farm of John Holbrook,
town of Cicero, burned his barns yester-
day during the absence of the family
at a funeral. Two horses, five steers,
with pigs, poultry, farm machinery and
crops in store, were totally destroyed.
The loss is $4,000
