FLANAeAN,s BIG THROW.
Breaks His Own Worlds Record-Moynl-
han Loses His Race.

Boston, July 22.-The feature of the
games at the Locust street grounds,
held under the auspices of the st. Au-
gustine parish, this afternoon, was
the hammer throwing of John Flana-
gan of New York. Flanagan topped
the worlds record with the 16-pound
hammer by tossing it 1874 feet 1 inch
from a seven-foot circle.
Flanagan did 1853 feet Az inches on
the same spot year ago, which was
the best throw at that time, but, for
some reason, 1t was not allowed as
a record, though he held one of 1853 feet
4 inches. To make the new record au-
thentic, the hammer was weighed and
was found to be half a pound over
weight and the handle one inch under
the required length.
Flanagan added laurels to his credit
by breaking the Irish record, in throw
ing the 16-pound hammer from the
nine-foot circle which is the Gaelic
method, as he did 1853 feet tx inches.
Dick Grant captured the honors in
the half-mile scratch race, running in
his familiar fast style on the last lap.
Moynihan, the Worcester flyer, gave
him a hard chase, but was no nearer
than five yards at the finish.

of deeds in the new court house will

hard at work yesterday moving the

of the documents is in place, but until
the arrival of the wooden desks and
counters the fittings of the old office
will be utilized.
The Webb Granite & Construction

of remodeling the old structure to con-
form to the new, awaiting the removal

AN EDITORS SUICIDE.
Publisher of RockIand Star Commits Sui
eide With Poison.


Rockland, Me-, July 22.-The commu-
nifty was greatly shocked this evening
upon hearing the news that Clement R.
Sherwood, president, manager and ed
itor of the Star Publishing Company,
had been found dead in bed. Coroner
Judkins was at once summoned, and 1t
was at first thought that death was the
result of heart disease. Later symp-
toms of poison developed, and an au-
topsy was held, but as yet no definite
cause of death has been ascertained.
As far as is known Mr.. Sherwood had
no cause for suicide, and while indica-
tons point strongly to such, yet his
friends think the cause of his death
must have been heart disease
He leaves widow, who at the time
of his death was in Boston, and three
small children. The deceased came to
this city from Lyons, N. Y, several
months ago, and purchased an interest
in the Star Publishing Company.
