sEABOARD CONTRACT SIGNED.
For Work ON the New Line From
Cheraw to Columbia.

For Work ON the New Line From
Cheraw to Columbia.
Norfolk. Va, June 26.-From sources
which can be relied upon, 1t can be posi-
lively stated that the contract was exc
cuted to-day by the Seaboard Air Line for
the building of the road between Cheraw
and Camden, S. c., and from Camden to
a connection with the Florida Central and
Peninsular Railroad at or near Columbia,
s. c.
While the surrnise is strong that the
Seaboard Air Line will run this new road
through Columbia, this cannot yet be def
nitely confirmed. There seems to be
enough doubt to prevent any positive
statement in the matter.
The other party TO the contract is M ].
Condor of Knoxville, Tenn, who was the
lowest bidder The work of grading will
be begun next week, and enough S0-pound
steel rails have already been ordered to
cover 100 miles of territory, though this is
considerably more than the distance be
tween Cheraw and Columbia.
According 20 the terms Of the contract
the line must be completed before Dec
10, 1899, which, in connection with the
Ridgeway and Richmond extension, will
give the Seaboard Air Line solid track
from Virginia's capital through Columbia,
perhaps, and through Savannah, certain
w to Tampa, Fla.

SHAPE OF THE SHAMROCK.
The New Yacht Discussed by the
London Papers

The New Yacht Discussed bv the
London Papers.
London, June 27.-With the exception of
the Times. the papers do not indulge in
speculation as to the build of the Sham
rock.
The Standard, which estimates her
length at 12S feet and her draught, with
all spars and fittings on board, at 1912.
says:
In the water she looked light. Her
bow was high, showing she will not have
to carry much weight to bring it down to
the water line
The Daily Mail estimates her length at
1870 feet 6 inches, her water line at SO feet
6 inches, her beam at "a feet, her draught
square feet.
The Times says:
The lower part, feft bright, is evidently
manganese bronze, which lends itself so
admirably to rolling INFO plates, where cost
is no object. SO far as it can be judged,
during the very short time the vessels I'M
der water body was visible, there is no
radical departure with regard to shape
There are the long counter-raking stern
post and oVerhangtng forward that char
acterize the modern racing yacht The
profile of the bow slopes easily and grad
ually aft, until perhaps a third of the
length is reached, and then the outline
takes a sudden dip down, almost in a YER
teal line.
1.-The midship section may be described
as that of somewhat shallow bodies, the
vessel having an extremely easy entrance
and delivery, and depending from this
structure is a large and approximately
fat surface, which will afford the neces-
sary material resistance for keeping the
vessel to the wind. If the body plan be
compared with that of the Defender, 1t
may be judged that the Shamrock has the
fatter floor and the squarer bilge and will,
therefore, possess more stability of form
than her rival.
I'm regard to the dimensions nothing
more than a guess can be given, but it
may be supposed that the yacht will build
up to her full size and will probably be
over 30 feet on the water line. For this
length she possesses considerable beam.
Certainly the Shamrock is not a narrow
craft and differs most materially from
earlier cup challengers,
THE lead is evidently carried in the
way now usual with racing yachts. The
keel is slightly dubious in form, as in
the Defender"

A CLANDEsTINE MARRIAGE.
Brides Father swOre Ont Warrant
Against the Groom.

Tallahassee, Fla, June 26.-The capital
city is promised a sensation, with a clan
destlne marriage as the pasis therefor
The Atkinsons and Fitzjohns reside in
the piney woods south of town, boys pre-
dominating in the former family and
girls in the latter. Some months since
William Atkinson fell in love with Va
letta Fitzj6hn, prepossessing miss of 10
His attentions became so persistent and
marked that the parents of the girl for
babe him the privileges of their home
He displayed unusual tact by apparently
submitting to the parental edict. In a
short while the sympathy of some of the
neghbors was aroused for the young
lcy ers and missives were frequently pass
ed between them and meetings arranged
for them.
One week ago to-day the girl went to
the home of a neighbcr. From there she
was brought to town and the young cou-
PIE were soon happily welded. But their
bliss did not last long. as it is said that
when father Fitzjohn learned of the mar
riage he started out with his shotgun,
intent on making the next affair a flu
eral.
Failing to find the object Of his wrath.
he sought legal redress, and to-day
warrant was issued for the arrest
of the bridegroom. This action is aiken I'M
der section 1853, revised statutes, which
provides Imprisonment in the penitentlary
not exceeding one year and a fine of 81, 800
for enticing from her home, an unmarried
female, under the age of sixteen, without
the consent of her parents for the purpose
of effecting a cFandestlne marriage.
When the bridegroom is arrested a day
will be set for the trial, and according 10
nelghborhood talk, very sensational devel-
opmcnts are expected.
When the news was received
here of the sudden death of Mr..
H. b. Plant, Gov. BloXham Immediately
wired a message Of coincidence to Mrs.
Plant, expressing the high esteem of all
Floridians for her distinguished husband
The office of the Southern Express Com
pany was draped with emblems of mourn
ing In memory Of Mr.. Plant, and the flag
on the state house was lowered to half
mast, as a token Of respect for the man
who had done so much toward the mate
rial development Of Florida.

CORNELL AND PENNSYLVANIA.
SUCCESSFUL CONTESTANTS on THE

Pennsylvania Won the FOur-Onrcd
Race Against Cornell. But Cor

Poughkeepsie. N. Y. June 96.-The four
Dared race over the two-mile course to-
day was won by Pennsylvania. Time Il
minutes y seconds. Cornell was second
Time II minutes, Il So seconds.
The freshmen eight-oared race between
Pennsylvania, Columbia and Cornell over
the two-mile course, was won by Cornell.
Time 9 minutes, So seconds. Columbia
was second. one and oue-quarter boat
lengths behind Cornell Time 10 minutes
Pennsylvania was third, three-quarters OF
a boat length behind Columbia. Time 10
minutes, 10 seconds.
At the crack of the pistol the two four
cared crews from Cornell and Pennsyl-
vania took the water together but before
the boats had gone ten lengths ahead the
Quakers had showed their boats nose
ahead of Cornell
From a mere gain of inches in the FIRST
half mile the gain of the Pennsylvania
boat became one of feet, as they neared
the mile mark. Twice the Comedians
tried to reduce the lead. but each time
the Quakers responded and crossed the
line winner by a length and a half, IN
eleven minutes twelve seconds.
Cornell finished In eleven minutes four
teen and thme-hflhs seconds, according
20 the officials.
The freshmen race, which was started
promptly after the four cared race fin
ished, was one of the closest and most ex-
citing races ever seen on the river in
years, the Columbia crew giving the Cor
mel crew sharp and pretty fight for first
place and making phenomenal time, con
sidering the slowness of their stroke.
Al the sound of the pistol the crews got
away in a bunch. For the first half mile
the struggle was so exciting that the spec
tators cheered for each crew. Together the
three boats hung, but there was something
about the way the Cornell boat seemed to
glide over the water that made Columbia
and Pennsylvania hearts go down. As the
crews reached the mile mark, the Corntll
boat was about half length out from the
| bunch and soon the lead was a clear
length.
Amid the footing of whistles and the
cheers of the Cornell contingent, The boat
crossed the finish line, Cornell heading with
a boat and quarter length 10 spare, and
Pennsylvania following Columbia three
boat lengths behind.
The time OF Cornell was 955 not so good
as that made by Yale IN 81, of 9:19 on The
| same course.
