BROKE HER OWN RECORD.
Fast Time by the ST. Paul from South
New York.

NEW YORK. May 15.-The American line
steamer st. Paul. which arrived here to-
night, broke her own record from South
ampton to New York and almost equaled
the one made by the steamer New York
OF the same line on Sept. IA. 1894. The time
of the ST. Pauls trip was six days, nine
hours and i've minutes. for 3,112.2 knots-an
average of 2034 knots an hour. The best
previous record was that OF the New York.
which steamer made the passage in six days.
seven hours and fourteen minutes. over the
shorter course of 3.097 knots. her average
speed being 20.15 knots an hour. The best
days run made by the New York was 5l5
knots, and now the ST. Paul beats that by
making 522 knots up to noon to-day. The
remarkable part of the st. Paul's perform
ance was that she was obliged to run at
reduced speed on account of fog for por-
ton of the last three days. Her total time
at reduced speed was twelve hours and four
teen minutes. Had the weather been clear
there is little doubt that the best previous
record would have been eclipsed.

paper in question would ruin me. The
attack was begun and has been kept up
ever SINCE which same is probably quoted
to confirm the identification of the paper
mentioned in the fore part of the article.
The complaint continues, in effect that
no mistake can be made as to the manag-
ing editor referred to, as the Examiner
was the only newspaper advocating the
franchise; that by reason of the broad
implication conveyed in the defendants
words, as reported in the CALL interview,
to the effect that he (the plaintiff) had
sold himself and his paper for $4,000, he
was prevented from following his pro-
fession and securing desirable positions.
All of which is assessed as damage
amounting to $4,000.
The delay in filing the suit was due to
the absence of Mr.. Henderson in the
