IN BARGE AND
 OUTRIGGED SKIFF
THE oARSMEN FURNISH SOME
 GOOD SPORT.
The Alameda Crew, in Their New Boat, Win the Senior
 Barge Race.

For some time past the Independence day rowing and sculling events have at tracted little attention, and the racing ..as been of mediocre character. But yester- day at Long Bridge really good sport was afforded uy the skiff and barge races held under the auspices of the regatta commit tee of the Pacific Athletic Association.
 The committee, which Is made up of five members, one from each of the five leading rowing clubs on the bay, had ar ranged four races-junior and senior out rigged skiffs and junior and senior barges. The races were not quite punctual In be- ginning but once begun were brought off in good time.
 For the junior outraged skiff race, which opened the programme, there were six entries, two each from the Alamedas and Pioneers and one each from the Ariels and South Ends. The two Ala meda men, not having any skiff to pull neers, leaving the event to be fought out by Coney Ochs of the Pioneers, w. Howe of the Ariels and J. Lyons of the South Ends. Howe got the inside station and the best of the start, but on the way out to the stake broke his oarlock and retired. Coney Ochs won easily by six lengths in ten minutes.
 The second event was the junior barge race for which all the five clubs had en- tered crews. The contestants narrowed down to three. the Dolphins. the South was allotted to the Dolphins, the inside to the Ariels and the outside to the South Ends. The South Ends got the worst of the start and fell behind, the Ariels and Dolphins rounded the stakes together, the Dolphins winning an excellent race by two lengths. Time 9 min.

BROKE AN AMERICAN
 SWIMMING RECORD
H. F. BREWER SETS A GREAT
 MILE PACE,
Was Disabled for the Mile Con- test, but Expects to Do More Time-Smashing To-Day.
 The Results.

The admirers of aquatic sports who did not attend the swimming contests at the Lurline Baths yesterday afternoon missed the best battles in this line that have been witnessed in this city for a long time. The Lurline Swimming Club car ried off nearly all the honors and they declare that they would have taken all if 1t had not been for the disability of their best man, Brewer
 One of the unexpected results of the games was the smashing of the American record in the 440-yard race by H. F. Brewer of the Lurlines, who covered the distance in 6:10 minutes, as against his former pace of 6:23 3-5. Brewer took his record with magnificent burst of speed that was well maintained throughout the distance His showing puts him well on the way to take the worlds record. E. B. Stolle was second time, 6:32 1-5
 In the 50-yard maiden H. H. Wiedeman of the Lurlines won in 29A secs, being within quarter second of the American record held by Dan Renear of Chicago. G. A. Hinkel of the Lurlnes was second.
 The 75-yard maiden was taken by Wiedeman in 42 secs. fiat, G. A. Hinkel second.
 The half mile contest was not satisfac- tory by reason of the fact that Brewer was unable to take part after his violent exertfons in the other races, and while he was resting ne was examined by his physician and advised not to enter as any further competition at that time might lead to serious heart troubles.
 The result of the race was a victory for the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club. E. B. Stolle taking first in 1853, as against 14:17, his old record. J. E. Odgers of the Lurlnes was a bad second
 A polo game which followed the races was won by Captain Pomins' team, and there was an exhibition of high diving by Professor Cobleyn. who dove from a height of 99 feet. Some fast and fancy swimming was done by Professor Goetze and R. Cardell, the mascot of the Lurline Club, did some clever clown diving.
 This afternoon there will be another race meet The events will include 100 yards, 220 yards and one mile. Brewer will contest and try to make some new recoIQs.
 These races are proving highly interest ing and by reason of the brilliant work of yesterday will attract the attention of that numerous class throughout the world who take an interest in such amateur contests. The Luline orchestra furnished acceptable music during the games.

bow; A. Haughton, two; F. Loth, three; E. Lynch, stroke.
 5. South End Rowing Club-C. Jenklns, bow; J. Blumlein, two; A. McIsaac, three; T: J. Fitzpatrick, stroke.
 The third event was the senior outraged skiff race. For this there were five en- tries, but the Alameda men having no skfffs withdrew. leaving as contestants H. A. Wittkopf and Frank Wilson of the Ariels and W. o. Patch of the Dolphins. Wittkopf had the outside station, Patch the inside, and Wilson the center. After proceeding few hundred yards Wilson bored Patch, and a foul ensured, but both together, but on the way home Wilson gradually forged ahead, and, though Patch gamely stuck to his work and made a capital squirt, Wilson won by about four lengths, Patch second and Wittkopf third. Time, 9i2 minutes. Patch'S chance of win ming was much lessened by the fact of his having rowed a hard race in the Dolphin barge just before starting in the skiff event.
 The fourth and last event was the se- nior outraged barge race, for which the das had entered. The Ariels dropped out, the Pioneers had the inside station, the South Ends the center and the Alamedas the outside. The Alamedas occupied their new barge, which looked very neat and smart. They had tried to row over from Alameda in her, but she shipped so much water that they were compelled to put back, and bring her over on the Creek boat After the turn the Alamedas began to draw away, eventually beating the South Ends by two clear lengths. Time, 8 minutes 30 seconds. The crews were made up as follows: l. Alameda Boat Club-E. Hadcock, bow; w Hansen, 2; A. Webb, 3; F Ayers, stroke; B. Hanson, coxswain. 2. South End Rowing Clubs. Friend, bow; M. Breen, 2; J. Pallas, 8; E. Scully, stroke; G. Merrill, coXswain. 3. Pioneer Rowing Club-G. Larsen, bow; Conrad Ochs, 2; F. Orr, 8; w. St. John, stroke.
 The course was one and a half miles with a turn, and the water was smooth, though a moderate breeze was blowing.
 The races were in charge of the follow ing officials: Referee, J. J. Mccarthy; starter, J. T. Sullivan: marshal, John No Ian; assistant marshal. w. H. Brown; judges-T. Kennedy and E. Sullivan of the Dolphins, w. St. John and A. Smith of the Pioneers, H. A. Pless an, D. O'Connell of the Ariels, A. H. Melitz and w. Fox of the South Ends, l.. Thomas and Charles Smith of the Alamedas; timers-J. Kee- nan of the Dolphins. J. ODea of the South Ends, F. O'Neil of the Pioneers, George Steffens of the Ariels, w. B. Hinchman of the Alamedas.

PATRIOTIC sPIRITUALIsTs. Mrs. Lillie Delivers an Interestine 2
 Address on the War.

The regular weekly meeting of the So- ciety of Progressive Spiritualists was held last night at 305 Larkin street. After an entertaining programme had been rem dered Mrs. Lilie delivered an interesting address on the present war;
 We are fighting for only one cause" she declared, "and that is liberty. When Spain sought to persecute and murder the helpless Cubans President McKinley and the people of the United States arose in their wrath and declared that it should stop. War between the two nations re- suited, and although hundreds of our gal lant boys have fallen in the heat of battle the stars and stripes will shortly wave over the Spanish possessions. While our hearts trembled and tears coursed down our faces as we looked upon the brave soldiers who left this city to defend the flag of our nation. yet we all felt glad that they were bent on a merciful mis- sion of delivering the unfortunate Cubans from the tyranny and abuse of the Spanish
 Mrs. Lillie was warmly congratulated at the conclusion of her patriotic address.

Congressman king-I have known
Judge Baskin for a, great many years
and know him to be a man of in
tegrity and honor. I served with him
in the Legislature and found him to be
earnestly devoted to the interests of
the entire people. He is a lawyer Of
great ability and for years has stood
at the head of his profession. He is
especially conversant with mining
litigation and the manifold questions
involved in the business enterprises
and pursuits of the state. In addition
he possesses great courage and has an
eninently philosophic and legal mind
I know of no man in the state better
equipped for the position of justice of
the supreme court than Judge Basxin.
f. 5. Richards-Judge Baskin has
been one Of the leaders of the Salt
Lake bar for over so years. During
that time he has tried some of the
most important cases that have ever
been tried in Utah. He is a man of
exceptional ability and fine legal at
tainments. His integrity is beyond
question. He is a we'll read man,
whose equipment for the exalted posi-
tion is enhanced by a judicial tempera-
ment and a conscientious regard for
the faithful discharge Of duty. He will
make an excellent supreme judge and
leave a record of which the S. tie may
well be proud

Baskin as a first-class lawyer. By
training and education and his long
residence and intimate acquaintance
with the people and institutions of the
state. he is enlinently qualified for the
place of justice of the supreme court.
His good common sense and sterling
integrity peculiarly fit him Tor that po-
sition.
Judge Powers - Concerning Judge
Baskin's legal qualities, no lawyer in
the west has had more experience or
more opportunities to perfect himself.
The records show that he did the prin-
cinaI law practice in this city for years.

questioned, and he is thoroughly ac-
ouainted with the needs Of the people
of this state. He is not too old. either.
He can sit on the bench for l5 years
and be an active lawyer at the end of
that period,
Thomas Marshall-The first four vol
umes of the law reports of the territory
of Titan show that Mr.. Baskin at that

who is the cause of this unusual condition
, of affairs, is confined in the county Jail
charged with the murder of her husband.
II the charges are true, and the officers
claim to have positive evidence of the
/ guilt OF Mrs. Conway. then one of the
most atrocious murders ever committed
in this state has bene perpetrated-
Jesse Conway was for fifteen years a
resident of this county and u well-to-do
ranchman, being one of those hardy pio-
neerS who pushed their way into this
broken and unsettled country. a few
weeks ago he came to Meeteetse and COM
plained of being i'll. He repaired to the
home of a friend and a physician was
called in. The doctor pronounced the i'll
ness typhoid malarial fever. Mrs. Conway
came to town and nurSed her husband,
who continued to grow worse. Mrs. Con-
way acted in q strange manner and al
times she allowed no one in the sick room.
Last Friday Conway began to fail rap
idly. The physician was nOnDluSsed and
called in an assistant. Il was then dis
covered that Conway was suffering from
opium poisoning. After a hard struggle,
the doctors succeeded in getting Conway
out Of danger. Yesterday morning, how
ever, he was taken down again. Once
more the doctors found opium poisoning
and once more they began to battle to
save the mans life. He was too far gone.

The strange circumstances surrounding
the death of Conway became known and
citizens insisted on the holding Of an in

post mortem was held. The examination
was made, and the jury returned the ver-
dict that:
Jesse Conway came to his death. the
same being caused by an overdose of
opium, administered by his wife, Belle
Conway
Mrs. Conway is apparently unconcerned,
although she says the death of her hus-
band has broken her heart. The prisoner
appears to be in her right mind. and Just
what prompted her to commit the heinous
crime is a mystery. So far as il is known
Conway and his wife lived happily togeth-

husband, and she as a kind and loving

Judge Baskins candidacy for justice
of the supreme court is looked upon
with approval by a very large majority
of the members of the bar. 1t is the
aifn of the bar to remove the judiciary
from the realm of politics, a ccnsum-
nation also devoutly desired by the
mere thinking portion of the commu-
nifty. In the present campaign this has
been done probably as far as can be
done under the system which obtains.
In regard TO Judge Baskin, there is a
wonderful unanimity of opinion as to
his fitness for the office to which he
has been nominated. Lawyers who be-
long to the Republican party and are
expected to work for and vote the Re
publican ticket are reticent to express
opinions for publication favorable to
a candidate on the opposition ticket,
but in conversation a large number Of
members of the bar whp belong to the
Republican party express their ap
proval of Judge Baskin, while none
have a word to say against his qualifi-
cations as a lawyer or integrity as
o. man. 4 Herald reporter circulated
among the lawyers and obtained the
following expressions Of opinion:
Senator Rawlins-I have known
Judge Baskin since 1 began the prac-
tlce or law IN 1873. he was then re-
garded as one of the leaders of the
bar and an excellent lawyer. I nave
every confidence in nis learning as q
lawyer. His temperament and integri-
ty well qualify him for the supreme
bench. and I have no doubt. il elected,
he will give universal satisfaction.
p. L. Wiliiams-I think ne is well
qualified. 1 have known him for more
than % years. He is a man that is
learned in the principles of law, knows
its sources and reasons and has a dis
eliminating mind. While his practice
the last ten or a dozen years has not
been SO active as it was during a like
period preceding that, yet he has never
lost his interest in the profession, and
would, 1 believe, not only take great
interest in the work of q supreme JUS
tiCe. if elected, but 1 have the utmost
confidence that in arriving at his de-
cisionS in all cases he would be guided
by no other desire than to ascertain
what the law was in a given case, and
having ascertained that, to follow it
Loyalty in rendering his decision, for
getting who the parties to the case
were. 1 believe his election would be a
great benefit to the people of the state
and the administration of the law by
our highest court.
w. H. Dickson-I have a very great
admiration for Judge Baskin as man
and a lawyer. He is well qualified for
any judicial position.

is over 80 feet wide, and the average
assay values of the ore $40 gold 10
