The FIRST TRIAL.
(Contin ued from Page 1.)

Of strength has been sacrificed. The plat
ing below the water line, of manganese
bronze. gives wonderful strength, and
weight where it is needed, and
surface capable OF polish OF the
highest degree. Her top-sides OF alum
inium combine the requisite strength
with a liehtness heretofore unthought Of
Up aloft the blocks, always before this
a source OF great anxiety on account OF
their weight and their frequent breaking
down. are, on this craft, marvels OF
strength and ligbtness. They have been
tested up To a strain far beyond anything
that they will be likely to endure. When
first launched various parts Of her stand
ing rigging were tried in a Lighter metal,
but on developing weakness were replaced
with steel forgings. She Will be steeTed
with a wheel which Is novelty on
craft of this kind, inasmuch as il is
double one and, therefore, many think
her builders expect her to be hard on the
helm. This wheel is fitted with a bevel
instead OF the usual worm gear and is of
n pattern OF everything else on the boat.
TO stand aft of the wheel and observe
the broad range OF deck forward with
only the fewest possible distractions in
the way of skylights and matches is in
dicatiye OF comfort for the crew handling
the sails. There is only the barest pos
sible rail, but in place on each side long
pleat is secured 10 the deck for the crew
TO get foothold when working the
craft.
Below decks the Defender is a mere
shell. A floor Is laid down, two bulk
heads are in place and few 81 aterooms
fitted up but beyond this no attempt has
been made for the crew TO tive aboard.
The outfit of sails is most liberal, no
less than four mainsails being supplied
for her. The sails are all made with the
cloths running from the luff TO the leech
IL f.It f.r
this purpose. IL the Defender should fail
TO prove the success expected she will at
least stand splendid monument OF
American skill and American sportsman
ship.
That the Vigilant is in true racing trim
there can be no doubt If the unanimous
opinion of all who have seen her since
she left the Erie basin counts for any
thing Whether the boat has been inn
proved by the recent changes that have
been made in her, namely: the lengthen-
ing of her bow and the cutting out of
her keel aft a section weighing 1000
pounus and substituting piece OF oak
| in place of the lead is a subject OF specu-
| lation.
Carpenters and painters were busy all the
! night on the Defender getting her ready

writing their letters TO their houses, and
invariably miss the o'clock collection and
have 10 hire messengers TO carry their let
ters to the depot.
Notice was given the hotel clerks yesterday.

The PIETZEL CHILDREN.
Bodies Being Prepared tor the
Mothers Identification.

TORONTO, Ont, July 10. = Detective
Geyer says Mrs. Pietzel will not view the
bodies of the children today. The detec-
tive said he would break the neck OF the
first reporter who attempted To interview
IN lady. He Is In close attendance upon
h sr. She is extremely careworn, and he
thinks the ordeal of viewing the bodies
might have serious consequences.
Doctors Caven and Harrington con-
,inued the post-mortem examination on
he remains of Alice Pietzel yesterday at
the morgue. The stomach and intestines
of the child were carefully examined, but
what the specialists found there will not
be made public until the inquest is re-
lumed in the police court this evening.
il is said, however, traces of some narcotic
'-ere found. After this examination, Drs.
Caven and Harrington spent the remain
der of the day in arranging the body so
DIS to make IL presentabe 10 Mrs. Pietzel,
the mother, who will review the remains
as soon as she Is able.
Ii is understood that Mrs. Pietzel can
recognize Alice by the teeth in the upper
jaw. IL appears there is a peculiar divi-
sion In the two upper incisors, and by
this Mrs. Pietzel says she can at once re-
cogniZe her child. She also says she
would Immediately know the hair OF the
children. One part of the child,s body
besides the teeth and hair which is at
all presenta BILE, are the hands, and these
will also be seen by Mrs. Pietzel, as there
are certain marks that may possibly help
in the identification.
Assistant District Attorney Barlow OF
Philadelphia and other witnesses, other
than Mrs. Pietzel, will be brought from
the United States TO give evidence before
the inquiry closes.

bids the marshal shall be instructed to
make all purchases from the successful
bidders, but council may at any time
terminate the contracts and call for

Alderman Carolan insisted that most of

Mayor Myers objected on the ground that
it is necessary to make purchases every
day, and that 1t would be inconvenient
to call the council together to consider
bids.
Alderman Carouan insisted that most Of
the supplies purchased by the city are
staple articles in constant demand and
could easily be scheduled.
The ordinance was amended as desired
by Alderman Carolan, with the provision
whenever practicable inserted as to
the securing of bids.

A CURIOUS LITIGANr.
Ending of a Suit in which There was
PathOS and Humor.

Athens, "a, April 0.-Yesterday another
act IN a celebrated case full Of pathos and
humor came 10 a close. II was the dispo-
sltion OF the case Of A. J. Booth VS.. J. W.
Mler, sheriff, ct al. On demurrer the case
was thrown out Of court
This recalls train of pathetic. but at the
same time humorous incidents. Several
years since Mr.. Booth borrowed money on
MS lot from the Clarke County Building,
Loan and Improvement Company of this
city. He failed 10 pay it back and finally
the company notified him that they would
sell him out If he didn't pay. This brought
him into court with a suit against the
company, charging usury, and which. after
being submitted to the jury, went against
him.
His plea was usnry, and he studied the
question from a Biblical standpoint He
was so certain of his position that he an
houneed through the Banner a series OF
lectures on usury to be delivered one
nour each day for seven days, opposite
the National Bank on Broad street
many the time came for the levying
OF the judgment Of the court on the prop
erty OF Mr.. Booth. He protested against
IL, but his protest was of no avail.
30 ne entered damage suits for $4,000
eacn against Sheriff Wler, Bailin Bailey,
Griffith Bros. and West, who bought
-
County Building, Loan and Improvement
Company, who sold him out
IL was this latter branch of the case
that came up in court yesterday morning.
Mr.. Booth appeared in his own behalf
having drawn all of the papers and pre-
pared the case. He vigorously fought the
demurrer and paid his respects to all the
ofncers OF the court. Judge Hutchins,
however, sustained the demurrer and dis
missed the old mans case.
He has already filed four suits against
the Building and Loan Association, and
that company has petitioned the court TO
restrain him from Hing any
more suits of this nature.
Lucy Cobb Institute is to have a new
teacher of elocution, Mrs. NJ. A. Lips
