Caught Good Breeze While ihs Older Yacht Lar
Almost Eecamed- Defender DID Not Round
One Of Tho Marks.

New Bedford, Mass, Aug. 12.-The
run OF the ~. Y. Yacht Club fleet from
Vineyard Haven to this port yesterday
proved the most unsatisfactory OF the
cruise, and as far as racing was con-
cerned was well nigh "a failure. All day
the yachts wrestled with typical dog
day conditions. winds from all quarters
and at all velocities interspersed with
calms. rain, sunshine and fog. and ut
was the boat that carried a mascot
which won in her class. The Columbia
was one of these. and for the second

er by many miles because OF the shift

ahead was the new boat at the finish

and did not round one OF the marks.
the Vineyard Sound Lightship..
At one time during the day, about
noon, it looked as IL the Defender had
the mascot and might win, for she got
a fine shift OF wind and left the CO.
1umbia becalmed two miles astern. But
this seemingly fortunate shift proved
the Defenders undoing, the breeze
leaving her entirely when off Tarpau-
lin Cove. five miles from the start. and
she hay t-lere two hours. while her ri
val farther out in the Sound picked up
a nice southwest Dreeze ana made the
gain that effectnally put the Defender
out OF the race. The Columbia was out
beyond Cuttyhunk before the Defend-
er was moved. over ten miles astern.
But the Columbia had a hard time get
ting out TO the lightship. five miles
further off. and did not round until
2:12. Then she fioundered about in an
other calm for half an hour. until at
last she caught a northeast breeze out
Of BuZzard's Bay that took her to the
finish line. She passed one side OF Cut
tyhunk Island as the Defender was GO
ing by the other. beating out OF Vine

of mathematics and mechanics. His
grounding in these sciences was of
the most solid and comprehensive ma
ture, and his deductions were invar-
iably clear and certain. He was a
draughtsman of exceptional ability and
a practical constructor whose skill and
ingenuity were evidenced in the build
ing and development Of some of the
largest and most important plants in
this country. He invented a self-feed-
ing machine for the manufacture Of
cut nails which is now in general use
and an apparatus for the hosting of
grain from ships into grain elevators
that has demonstrated it's use and
pIacticability. Various smaller devices
were also invented by his ever-active
mind.
Mr.. Nolan at seventeen years Of age
became one of six students who with
their instructor came from college in
Ireland for the purpose of surveying the
route of a Vermont railroad. He liked
this country so well and his extraor-
dinary ability obtained such speedy
recognition that he never returned to
his native land. When only nineteen
years of age he married Ruth Jepson,
the daughter of a citizen of Vermont.
She died a number OF years ago. The
surviving children of this union are
Mrs. William Kelly, Mrs. Il. c. Fit2-
simmons. Mrs. Hugh j. Gallagher, Jo-
seph Nolan, of this city, and Bernard
Nolan, of Chicago. Mr.. Nolan's father
raid a long visit to this country after
his sons marriage and a sister also
came to this country, but these both
returned and no Immediate relatives
other thaI his children. now live in
the United States. His eldest brother
IS the proprietor Of one Of the largest
estates in Westmeath, Ireland.
Mr.. Nolan came to Scranton in 1856
to become the foreman of the Dickson
works. He retained that position un-
til 1865, when he resigned in order that
he might superintend the erection OF
the oxford Iron works, at oxford, y
J., Of which plant he was the architect
ard designer. At the conclusion of his
work IN Oxford he returned TO this
city.
Up to the beginning of the illness
which terminated in his death. Mr.
Nolans marvellous mind was ever ac-
tive. He was engaged in the publica-
tion of THE American Wood Worker,
and was frequently employed in con-
sultation upon large and important
contracts.
His life was upright, simple, piOus
and sincere. His funeral was attend
ed by a large numbe- of persons who
knew his worth and who valued his
friendship.

SCRANTON LOST HEAVILY
Saturdays Stock Panic Swept Away
90 Per Cent. of the Money
Invested by Local Margin
Spectators.

The panic which swept over Wall
street last Saturday morning and
which came as the immediate result Of
Ex-Governor Roswell p. Flowers death,
was not without its effects in Scran-
ton.
Mr.. Flower was the acknowledged
leader OF Wall street, particularly in
the domain Of the industrial stocks,
and the slump that followed his death
was most natural. In this city his
success in raising the price of Brook
lyn Rapid Transit stock from 80 to 1S0
gained for him the confidence of many
spectators who now doubly mourn his
death.
Federal Steel, Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit and New York Air Brake stock
were looked upon here as Mr.. Flowers
speqialties, and in these Scranton in
vestors, who wished to follow his lead,
speculated most heavily. 1t is alto
gether probable that every Scranton
holder on margin OF these stocks lost
every cent invested.
Federal Steel common stock lost IN
points from Friday afternoons close;
Brooklyn Rapid Transit lost 1SA points
and New York Air Brake lost the en-
ormous total of co points.
Every other stock fell, but the loss
was nowhere near SO great as in the
Flower specialties, and it was in these
the local spectators, as a rule, were
wont to dabble.
The local brokerage offices were
crowded all of Saturday morning, and
the excitement was comparatively on
a par with that which shook Wall
street to its very foundations. That
the excitement was general in this
| region was evidenced by the messages
that went through the ticker from
Binghamton, Elmira and other towns
receiving the same service as this city.
Sell my stock" For - Sake get
rid of my Consolidated Gas" You
blanked idiots, why don't you observe
my order" We're farmers. but we
want a show" are excerpts from some
of the messages that were read from
the tape as they flew over the wire
| to the New York offices
There is no telling how much money
was lost here, as the brokers, OF course,
would not even admit that there were
losses. 1t is safe to say, though, that
! 80 per cent. OF the Scranton money in
vested on margin was swept away, as
| country '1ambs" are invariably buyers
| and it is very rare that an investment
is protected over three points.

Plummer s. Page, one of Scranton's
2ens, died suddenly yesterday morning
at his home, 525 North Washington
avenue. The rupture of n blood vessel
in the head was the cause of death.
He breakfasted with the family as
usual yesterday morning and retired
to his room, when Mrs. Page accom-
panied by their niece. Mrs. George NJ.
Hallstead, left to attend Sunday school
at O'Clock in the Episcopal church.
About 1890 o'clock he called a servant
and sent him across the avenue to sum-
mon DR.. Allen, saying he had pains in
his right side. from which he could get
no relief.
DR.. Allen answered the summons i'm
mediately. and Mr.. Page went to the
door to let him in. While explaining
his trouble to the doctor. just inside
the doorway, he suddenly placed his
hand on his side and exclaiming There
it Is again." dropped unconscious to
the floor. In few minutes he breathed
his last. An examination by DIR. Allen
disclosed q ruptured blood vessel in
the head.

FERTILE SOURCE OF WORRY.
Binghamtonians Again Agonizing
Over Railroad Changes.

First IL was alleged changes of men
and shops along the Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western railroad system
which caused Binghamton to agonize.
Now II seems to be the discharge OF
men on the Delaware and Hudson sys-
TEN which excites attention and worry.
The following item appeared in the
Binghamton Republican of Saturday:
During the last ten days a number
of passenger conductors on the Della
ware and Hudson have lost their
heads" and the conductors who still
retain their positions are wondering IL
the decapitation business is completed,
while the men who have been blue
enveloped' say they wonder why. So
far three men who run to Binghamton
have been discharged, and seven from
the Saratoga division. The men at this
end of the line who have had to 60
are Howard Evans, of Schenectady, J..
c. White, of Albany, and Joseph Web
ster, of this city.
mo reason has been assigned by the
officials for these discharges. except
that II is for disobeying rules; and the
men themselves say that they know
of no reason why they should be so
treated Some of the other employees
of the company say that they can see
no reason for the action as the men
discharged have long been supposed to
be among the most faithful and trust
worthy employees of the road. other
employees, however, say that they do
not believe the company would take
this action unless there was some good
reasons behind It,"
The article concludes.with a compar-
ison of possible reasons why" the
main one being the disobeying of a
recent order bearing upon the accept
| ance OF mileage coupons.
