The Origin Of a Sa.nc.

There is u general belief that Gun

name fonl the fact that great many
sportsman frequcntcd the banks of the
stream before the time Of Kcnsington
becon:in. porJio.i of tho built up city.
This belief Is held by some Of those who
live il The vicinity. Asa matter Of fact,
the now malodorous stream received its
name from one of the early Swedish
settlers who took up his residence on its
banks. His name was Gunnar Rambo,
or Ghunar Rambo. When the English
settlers came to Kensington they soop
corrupted the name to Gunner. and this
was in time applied to the stream =

A highway robbery occurred on the
New York a. New England railroad

As he passed the nan suddenly grabbed

BLOCK ISLAND EXCITED.


BLOCK ISLAND, 4. l., July o. A man,
who, from his actions is believed to be
an escaped criminal, came ashore here
from cat boat yesterday, and 1t in
thought, left on New York or New Lon
don steamer, as 10 trace OF him can be
found today. The man was in a cat boat,
which he seemed not TO know how TO
handle. The boat ran aground in Cow
cove and the man, who was its sole occu-
pant, Immediately jumped out and waded
ashore. lie did not stop on reaching
the land, but ran across the fields and
was soon lost TO the view OF those who
first saw him. Since he disappeared, no
intimat ion of where he went has been re-
ceived and on account OF his suspicious
action in leaving the yacht upcared for,
dilligent search for him has been made.
AS the only way of escape from here is
by boat, it is believed that he boa ded
one of the steamers which touch at Great
Pond harbor. The cat boat bears the
name "Favorite. There is nothing to
indicate where she came from.

Trial and Oars Altered.

at Marsh Mill House.

Copyrighted, ls9s by The Associated Press
HENLEy-oN-THA MES, July 2.-All the
preparations for the garden party tend
cred by the Yale crew to their friends,
including all the crews entered for the
grand challenge cup, were completed last
night and the finishing touches were put
to the grounds of the American head
quarters Marsh Mill House, during the
morning.
The oarsmen were out during the morn
ing for practice as the pleasure OF the
afternoon was not allowed to interfere
with the business of.the day.
The.weather..wa cloudy, and there was
but little wind blowing. 1he horse
generally used by "Bob" Cook to coach
the Yale men from the towpath was re-
ported lame, consequently he took the
crew above the bridge and coached them
from boat on catching the water quickly
and strongly. This work was kept up
until half past eleven, when the Ameri-
cans were taken TO fawley Lodge, Mr..
Cook coaching them from bicycle.
Later he put them over the minute
barrier at a stroke of 80 to the minute,
but they only succeeded in going 100
feet beyond IL, against News 127 feet
Yesterday. The Yale crew then padded
back to the boatbouse and after a few
minutes rest took out the new paper
shell, which will probably be used In the
race for the grand challenge cup,in order
to test IL in every way and see IL all the
riggings, ETC., were In the best of order.
Tney padded to Fawley Lodge at a 80 TO
the minute stroke. The oarsmen pro-
nouced the boat to he sitter; but the
ringing did not meet with their entire
approval The buttons of the Americans
oars were moved in an inch further in
board today.
During the early morning the Yale
men were weighed in their rowing clot hes
and the result was as follows:

Same Old Explanation.

Washington, july 2.-The Turkish le-
cation has received from the sublime
porte the following telegram: 1.-The
news published lately about the So
called cruelties of the Mussulmans and
the imperial troops in Crete are abso-
lutely false. The truth is. on the con-
trary, that the Christians themselves
burned the houses and olive trees of the
Mussulmans.a and committed sacrilesious
acts In the mosques. The Mussulmans
burned, in return and from a spirit OF
vengeance, n few Christian houses. But
the imperial troops are doing their best
to protect all property, without distinC-
ton"

ants. senior and junior grades, respec-
lively, and to fill the vacancies thus
caused Lewis Borroughs and Orray Taft

necessitated by the transfer of Lieuten-
ant Is. g.) X. Lincoln Lippitt as pay
master to the commanders staff and the
resignation of Lieutenant q. g.) Charles

ed and at the conclusion OF the business
meeting the commander took the company
In hand and gave them thorough drill
which resulted in putting more snap into
the evolutions and securing greater uni
son in the execution OF the manual.
Before the command was dism missed
Commander Little delivered an informal
lecture upon the life and success of
militia organizations, namely the discl-
pline. In well chosen word, he pointed
out, the great gulf existing between the
sailor and the commissioned otncer. the
"bulk head," tney cali It In nautical
parlance, and explained how essential
1t is that this rule sould be rigidly adher-
ed to If anything like successes Is to be
attained.
He was well pleased with the personn ell
OF the company and stated that be ex-
poets to see 1t the crack oganization OF
the State, the flower OF Rhode Islands
national guardsmen, as IL were, and
judging from the willingness which
the men evince in their work there Is
no reason why his expectation should
meet with disapDOintmcnt.
The only other appointment Command
er Little has made on his staff thus far
with the exception Of Lieutenant Lippitt
is that OF nr. Charles 4. Peckham of
