AURELIA WAS BEATEN.
But 1t Was Not Entirely Due to
HOOdIum's Speed.

Yesterday afternoon, in a good reeflng
breeze, Hoodlum, Capt. Burton's crack
big I'm" defeated Aurelia from White
Bear, and ALT Pillsburys Wizard at
Lake Minnetonka, making the ten
Knots over the big triangle course
IN 1878, beating Aurelia by So
seconds and the Wizard by minutes and
Il seconds. The Wizard has been lying
IN CottageWoOd bay unused for about
three months and her seams have opened
badly; this, together with the fact that
she would not point up as well as
usual on account of her new sails, is the
reason of her poor performance.
At the signal, which was given at 2:50
the three boats were we'll punched be-
fore the flag and got away without de-
lay, Aurel1a crossing slightly ahead of
Hoodlum, who, however, shot past the
nag at race horse speed, rapidly passing
Aurelia- and gaining quite a lead. How
ever, the Wizard, with the fresh wind on
her quarter, took the bit in her teeth
and passed TIE Aurelia before she had
gone two hundred yards. The boats went
IN past Big Island, well punched, with
Hoodlum slightly in the lead and headed
for the flag. Hoodlum reached the bouy
hrst and swung down for the run to Look
Gut, with Wizard close on her heels
Aurella, who reached the buoy close to
Wizard, seemed for some reason to stick,
and lost some time in getting around
and started. The run to Look Out was
almost free, and as this is Wizards best
sailing point, she passed Hoodlum and at
the buoy turned about fifteen seconds
ahead of Aurelia, who had caught up
with Hoodlum and turned just before
her. On the first tack of the beat, Au-
relia ran far to windward, passing Wiz
ard and increasing her lead on Hoodlum,
who, although she passed the Wizard,
could not regain her position at the head
of the fleet. The Wizard commenced to
pick up slightly and seemed due to make
large gain when a mishap befell her
that rendered the mild hammered Capt.
Pilsbury furious. The Victor, who had
just come out from St. Louis bay, passed
almost directly in front of her, necessi-
tating another tack, just as she had COM
nenced to gain. AS a result she lost
fully half a minute, if not more. Aurelia,
with Hoodlum close after her, came about
on her last tack for the home buoy. Capt.
McLaren miscalculated his distance on
this tack and went too far in toward the
club house and HOodlum, having the right
of way, crossed her bows just after she
came about and managed to beat her out.
The race is the best three in five.

FAVOR THE HOYT SITE.
Question of Location of Fergus Falls
Building.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug G9.-As-
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor
today admitted that he and Supervising
Architect Taylor favored the Hoyt site
for the public building at Fergus Falls
was true The secretary says, however,
that the choice was due to the fact that
no eligible site was offered by the North
side people The Park hotel lot was bad
ly located, and if the postofffce were
placed there, it would not show off to any
advantage, and would not be well located
with reference to the business part of the
town. When Mr.. Corliss appeared and
made his proposition to sell the govern
mept a lot on Lincoln avenue, which is
admitted TO be the center of business, it
was Immediately snapped up. Regarding
the offer to donate the Hoyt site, the sec,
rotary said that the proposition did not
cut much of a figure, as the government
would rather pay for a good site such
as the Nangle property, than accept one
not so well located as a gift.

MINNESOTA BUSINESS.
Col. Lowry Tells New Workers 1t Is
All Right.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29-Thomas Lowry,
of Minneapolis, who is in the city, says:
Business affairs never looked better
in Minnesota than they do today. The
spring wheat crop off the three great
wheat states, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, will amount to about two
hundred million bushels. One of the best
expert judges returned to Minneapolis
just before I left there and reported
that after thorough personal investiga-
ton he estimated the crop at 1877, 600, 900
bushels. At first it was feared that the
high, hot winds which have recently been
prevailing in the wheat-producing areas
would greatly damage the crop, but they
are over now and the damage is not
nearly so great as anticipated To move
this crop, I do not believe we will have
to borrow a dollar of outside capital
there is so much money in the three
states at present."

liceman, and his story was somewhat Pc
culiar at other minor points. None of the
witnesses yet examined heard the officer
command the boys to halt.
Today officer Strout will take the
stand in his own behalf, and the police
also hope to locate Lobster who is
missing from his usual haunts The de-
tectives have as yet found no place where
the wire was stolen from. County Attor-
ney Hutchinson said that the case would
be laid before the next grand jury.

CRUSHED In A WRECK
GEORGE JOHNSON, A NORTHERN
PACIFIC EXPRESS MESSENGER,
LOSES HIS LIFE
ACCIDENT NEAR WINNIPEG


Part of the North-Bound Express
Broke and Caused General
Smash-Up-SeveraI Cars DeraiIed,
but the Only Fatality Was the
One Mentioned.
WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. 29.-(Special.)
While about six miles out of the city
this afternoon the Northern Pacific ex-
press, north-bound, was thrown from
the track by the breaking of an axle on
a fruit car which was attached to the
train. The engine did not leave the rails,
but broke loose from the train and came
on to Winnipeg, from which point
wrecking train was dispatched to clear
the line and a couple of coaches to con-
vey the passengers to the city.
The scene at the wreck was one of
chaos. The baggage and fruit car, which
caused the trouble, were laying on their
sides in the ditch, while the second-class
coach had also turned over; the first
class coaches and the Pullman were also
off the rails, but did not upset.
Under the baggage car were the crush
ed and mangled remains of George John
son, of ST. Paul, one of the most popular
express messengers on the road. John
son jumped from the car at the time OF
the accident, but taking the wrong side
of the car was crushed to death beneath
a truck. This was the onry fatal acct
dent which occurred, none of the passen-
gers being seriously hurt, although sew
eral were severely bruised and all badly
shaken up.
The first news of the accident which
reached the city came by locomotive, as
the railway officials were very reticent
and gave no information whatever
George Johnson, the express messenger
who was killed, had been in the employ
of the Northern Pacific for the last
eleven years, during which time he had
been constantly in and out of Winnipeg.
He was related in this city, where he
was married two years ago. Mrs. john
son is a resident of st. PauF, and the re-
mains Will be sent there tomorrow for in
terment.
