nE-A hehVy storm In the Hnrbor.
CLEVELAND, Aug. lO.-The shadow of q
calamity hangs over the centennial regatta of
the Cleveland Yacht Club. Two yachts, which
are known to have been on their way here
when the storm arose. are missing.
There is a faint possibllit, that they may
have put into some port for safety.
The Iris OF Eric and the Sybil OF Buffalo left
their respective ports yesterday manned by their
regular crews. and each. 1t is understood, car
ried n party OF friends of the owner.
They were expected to arrive here this after
noon. and every minute last evening Commo-
dorcs Worthington and Huntington of the Cleye-
land Yacht Club anxiously looked for news of
them. Commodore Huntington says:
- hope they are safe. but fear for the worst.
They may have gone into port 1t would be
great calamity IL they have gone down."
In this harbor the force of the storm was
severe. II came up so suddenly that the yachts
riding at anchor were entirely unprepared to
meet ii. Although every effort was made to
save them. three OF the yachts were sunk.
Two others collided, and one was greatly
damaged. Several others. including tho Can
ada, were cast upon the shore. The extent of
the damage Is uncertain.

REARGUMENT FOR PRINCIPAL RlDENOtR
JUSTICE GAYNOR LOOKS Up THE LAW REGARDING

Justice Gaynor OF thu Supreme Court. yesterday
ordered a reareument in the case OF William b.
Ridenour. principal of Public School No iS. who
asked for an Injunction restraining the Board Of
Education from dismssng him.
Justice Gavncr shows in his statement that ne
has minuely examined the laws relating 10 the
authority and power of the Board Of Education IN
appointing and discharglng teachers and also the
laws which determine Principal Ridenours rights
as veteran. He finds 50 many perplexing Gues-
tions involved. in several of which the laws re-
latng 10 the case seem 10 contradict each other,
that he has decided to call for another argument
of the case. az which the lawyers on each side VIII
be asked 10 discuss fully many intricate
points not touched upon in the briefs handed up.
Justice Gaynor finds that certain rule passc!
by the Board OF Education regarding its own
right to dismiss teachers is in direct contravenion
of the general statute. He SAYS the close OF his
order:
IF the plaintiff il in law no. an appoiniee, bui an
employe the veteran acts may NOT cover his case.
but IL he is employed for fixed term the ordinary
law of employer am emyloye applies. anu ne
Board could not lawfully dismiss him during ms
term except for a breach of the contract by MN
which includes every misconduct or moral derelc-
ton upon his part during the term, which. CON
slderng tine nature OF his vocation anu employ
ment would be deemed such a breach IN law.
Past misconduct could not affect his present con-
tract. unless it may be, amounting 70 such moral
teacher and make IL fraud for MIN TO oncr MN
self as such. Another difficulty which has pre-
scented Itself TO me Is whether the plaintiff has a
legal teachers license which would be essential TO
give him standing to maintain THIS acton. As
the case deserves the most scIu2ulous care. in
volying as IL does the rights and the reputation Of
have concluded TO order reargument. and | set
the case down for that purpose for January 49,.
