Escape Unhurt.

z5 CLEVELAND. G., Aug. "a Big Con-
solidated street car was wrecked at q
o'clock this morning on the Wade Park ave-
nue. line. near Cactus drive, a lonely spot
adjoining Wade avenue.
The car was eastbound and the first in
timation OF danger was when 4 suddenly
rose from the track and a deafening report
was heard. Residents within a radius of a
mile and a half were awakened by the roar
and sprang from their beds to seek the
cause.
The car was blown fro mthet rack ana
badly demolished. The frightened motor
man was hurled from the vestibule and the
conductor from the platform. They were
uninjured. The one passenger aboard also
escaped unhurt. The bottom and forward
part of the car were completely wrecked
by the explosion, the forward trucks being
blown to atoms. Every pane of glass in
the windows and doors was shattered.
The explosive used was evidently nitro
glyceriue. There Is no clew as to the
identity of the miscreants who committed

VAN WICK BOOM IS GROWING
Southern Democrats Make No Com
cealment of Their Bitter OPP
position to Bryan.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-William f. Har-
rity, formerly chairman of the democratic
national committee, ex-senator German Of
Maryland and Colonel L. Victor Baughman
of Baltimore were at the Fifth Avenue hotel
last night. They all declined to discuss the
political situation. 1t was said they are
busy preparing a boom for Ex-Governor Pat
tison of Pennsylvania for the presidential
nomination next year, but there was no
verifcation OF the rumor.
A special to the Tribune from Saratoga
says: ar-
Mayor Van Wyck of New York City
joined his brother at the Grand Union hotel,
where the Van Wyck boomers keep politics
on tap almost every hour in the day. The
exquisite and the southern democratic con-
tingent formed a large and noticeable
phalanx on the spacious piazza. The general
conversation drifted in the direction of what
was characterized as Van Wyck's increasing
strength Colonel j. A. Willis Of Missis-
sippi, who joined the informal conference on
the piazza, was most emphatic in his state
ment that Van Wyck was gaining strength
from day to day in the south. He added
that the silver issue was not as popular as
1t once was in the southern states"
Ex-senator M. c.. Butler of South Caro-
lima, who recently came out against Bryan,
and Former Ambassador j. B. Eustis of
Louisiana are expected here next Monday.
when they will assist Judge Joseph ]. VIII
lett of Alabama, who is to arrive on that
date, to formally launch the Van Wyck boom
for the presidency. The southern demo-
Gratis now in Saratoga are intensely in earn
est about the Van Wyck's boom. They make
no concealment of their bitter opposition to
Bryan.

COLUMBIA AN EASY WINNER
Perfect Weather and Large Crowd Some Of
the Propitious Features,
NOT A GENUINE TEST OF SUPERIORITY
Defender is Badly Handled and Fn-
vorabIe Opportunities Are over
looked by It's Crew-Good
Time Made.

NEWPORT. r. l., Aug. 9.-The run of
the New York Yacht club from Gardeners
bay to tho port today, a distance OF fifty
three miles, was full Of interesting brushes.
1t is no disparagement to Columbia to say
hat Its defeat Of Defender by over twenty
two minutes was due more to bad judgment
and bad luck OF the latter. which left it
in a soft spot, than actual superiority.
The day itself was perfect, for the sky
was cloudless and the air was full of life
and vigor. A huge feet of steam yachts
watched the sailing craft start and accom-
panied them over the most of the course
and all Newport saw the finish at Brenton's
Reef lightship. the cup defender OF 1898,
Vigilant, leading the feet over the line after
a warm contest with the schooner Colonia Of
fifteen miles or more.
AT the finish there was ffty-fve seconds
between the boats, but as Vigilant started
six minutes ahead the Colonia beat her
easily on the run, although. of course. the
boats sailed in different classes.
During the soft spell of two hours the
Columbia seemed to be especially favored,
for 1t carried a breeze right through and
gained rapidly on Defender. The latter, too,
made a mistake in getting too near the
Fisher island shore, so that when the wind
did come around Columbia caught it half an
hour ahead. 1t was at this time. as the
boats passed the entrance to Fisher Island
sound, that Columbia made the great gain
that gave 1t such a lead.
The race was a grand one from 2:45 o'clock
on. AT that time Defender took in its spin
maker, Columbia soon following suit. Away
ahead more than five miles in the lead were
Vigilant and Colonia. The latter yacht
jibed to starboard off Narragansett and
dropped astern just as they both passed the
old cup defender, Volunteer.
Smartly the crew of Vigilant took in the
spdnnaker before reaching the ~lightship.
Then they jtbed it and like an arrow 1t
shot around Columbia's bow. 1t crossed the
finish line Just ffty-five seconds ahead of
the schooner and finished first OF the fleet.
Columbia swept across the finish line at
4:24:30, taking in it's s%pinnaker a few sec
onds before reaching il. 1t was Just twenty
one minutes and three seconds ahead of De-
fender.
According to the official figures Columbia

1T MEANS A GENERAL RAISE
An Opinion by Attorney General Pyle
Will Result in Heavier Tax
Assessments

PIERRE, S. D.. Aug. e.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The opinion of Attorney General
Pyle, submitted to the State Board OF As
sessment and Equalization this morning,
upholds the right of the board to increase
the assessment values as returned to them
by county auditors and is in substance that
under the constitution and the statutes 1t
is the duty of the board as assessors of
corporate property to list the same at as
nearly its cash value as can he ascertained
and then 1t becomes the duty of the board
to e~Qualize other property of the state at a
proportionate value with the assessment
placed by them on corporate property. This
means a general raise on all property Of the
state, private and corporate. and while the
basis on which the raise will be made has
not yet been secured, it will probably be
about one-third greater than last year. which
will mean a general increase of about s40,-
O00, 900 over last year.
Governor Lee today appointed Frank H.

CYCLE CHAMPIONSHIP MEETING.
Englishman Carries on Only Worlds
Record Event ON Card.

MONTREAL, Qusbec, Aug. 9.-The
worlds cycle championship meet of the In
ternational Cyclists union. under the
auspices of the Canadian Wheelrlen's asso-
cation, opened today on the Queens park
track. The weather was beautiful, fair and
wind. not heavy enough to interfere with
the riders. Ten thousand people saw the
races, filling the grandstand and bleacherS
and overlooking the rails along the track.
There was only one worlds championship
event on the card, the one-mtie, and 1t fell
TO Tom SummersgilI of the Leeds Athletic
club, England, who won 1t in a bruising
finish from Earl Peabody. of Chicago and
John Caldow. the Scotch champion. OF the
other men from across the water Cherry of
England was frozen out at the first trial
heat, finishing second ito a local rider named
s sSlsSeI atr, dhe in se ahe s fass ps hsat. a Go E or
the Australian champion, persisted in the
second semi-inal, being beaten out by Pea
body. Tailliander, the Frenchman, was also
left in the same heat.
The three men in the final made a loafing
race OF II, no one desiring to cut out the
gill In second place and Caldow trailing.
They kept this position until the back
stretch of the last round, when .Caldow
moved up and the three men came into the
stretch practically abreast. Then it was
that Summersgill let himself loose. He got
a lead Of hall q length and succeeded in
in front of Caldow.
The most important professional event
was Inc ndlI-H1le. ". II. MCSdEply VI ol'
Louis, Nat Butler, Herman, the Canadian
rider: Mccarthy of Toronto, Major Taylore
and Angus Mcleod Of Toronto were the six
men who got into the final. There was a
hair-raising finish between Mccarthy of st.
Louis and Major Taylore. The latter got
into a pocket In rounding into the stretch
and though he made a great rush he was
beaten out by Mccarthy. It was only a
matter of inches. The decision was SO
close that a part of the crowd on the stand
pack of the wire refused TO accept It,
claiming Taylore had won. Time: 100 10.
In the two-mile tandem. professional, a
new worlds competition mark of 3:47 3-5
was made by the Buffers, the previous
record being 4:o1 3-5, made by McDuffee and

INVESTIGATION PROGRESSES
Day is Taken Up in Showing Frequency Of
Robberies in the ''Tsnderloin."
ALLEGED POLICE coNNIyE WITH THIEVES
Victims Are Lonth 10 Testify, OWING
10 the Publicity IL Would
MISREPRESENTATION
Promised.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Almost all OF the
testimony elected at the meeting OF the
Mazet legislative investigating committee to-
day was for the purpose OF showing how
frequently men are robbed in this city while
paying visits TO the 'Tenderloin," the Bow
cry" and other sections OF the city where
groups gather after the midnight hours.
Mr.. Moss had difficulty in obtaining wit
nesses for today's session. The men who
had been the victims OF these sort of crimes
appeared decidedly averse to appearing be-
fore the committee and telling about 1t.
Two hundred and fifty subpoenas had been
issued for men who had been robbed by
women. Not a quarter OF these men could
be found. Nevertheless Mr.. Moss was able to
put witness after witness upon the stand and
secure account after account of robberles
alleged to have occurred In disorderly houses
in this city. Occasionally the witnesses un-
der oath told OF facts which appeared to
show collision between the police and the
female robbers. Mr.. Moss announced that
similar testimony with variations would be
produced before the committee tomorrow.
The variations, 1t is understood, refer to an
investigation of the opium dens of the city.
Lewis Picker told of a burglary at his
residence. The detective assigned to the
case told him thai the stolen property had
probably been taken to Hester street and
IL his suspicious were correct there was no
good looking for Il.
Picker made n search for the goods and
thought he had traced them to a place in
Bayard street. He watched the place for
sometime and saw many wagonloads OF
goods being taken from it. The goods were
addressed variously to places in Kentucky
and Baltimore.
MIR. Moss said that he had issued 250 sub
poenas for persons whose names appeared
as compliments on the police blotters. The
subpoena servers had failed to find many
of the witnesses at the addresses given.
Counsel said he agreed that 1t was not
pleasant testimony for men to have to give
in public and did not think 1t necessary to
add more to the statements already made.
Mr.. Moss had a record of the arrests Of
women for rcbberies in the Nineteenth pre-
cinct since January 1, 1898. There were 100
in number and the amount of their depreda-
lions came to about s2S. 900. He also read
a list Of seventy-nine houses in the precinct
which were resorts for thieving prostitutes
and where robberies had occurred and
arrests made. Only nine of these places
were on the book Of suspicious places.
Mr.. Moss said the precinct book showedi
only eleven places described as resorts for
prostitutes and thirty-three houses suspected
of being disorderly.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
