ALMOST RUN DOWN
THE YACHT SHAMROCK
Sir Thomas Lipton's Challenger
Nearly Fouled by Scow That
Drifted in the Wind.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Great peril be-
set the Shamrock yesterday afternoon and
evening at the height of the easterly gale.
The scow Ulster, with the spare spars Of
the challenger, dragged her anchor, and
was only prevented from drifting down
upon the yacht by the heroic efforts of
the combined crews of the Upton fleet.
Three attempts were made by the men of
one of the launches before success
crowned their efforts. With heavy lines
fast the barge was slowly towed from her
dangerous proximity to the yacht. Then
lines were thrown to the Shamrock, and
with one around her steel mast near the
deck and another to her mooring buoy she
was dragged to a position of safety.
The Shamrock'S topmaSt, which had
been housed, was sent UP. Then the new
main sail was bent and when it was in
place it was readily seen what Sir Thomas
Upton meant when he said he had sur
prises in store for American yachtsmen.
1t is crosscut fashioned after the big
sails turned out by the Herreshoffs. There
were a few rough places about it in need
Of an hour or two of stretching.
The new boom was variOuSly estimated
to be from 10 to 112 feet long, and the
metal gaff at from 60 to II feet. All in
all, the new sail is formidable, and. in the
words of naval experts, lays all over
the Columbia's biggest in size.''
Later in the afternoon the new club top
sail was sent up. It's size is also pro-
digious. In fact, it is in reality a sky
scraping topsail and its area is such as to
make all ordinary topsails look modest.

The members of San Francisco Flycast-

mony the scene was an impressive one
as the members listened intently TO
gracefully worded eulogy pronounced by

who is said to have done more IN ms
lifetime for fish and game interests IN
California than any other Individual. 1Ae
toast was drunk standing.

This will be the fourth contest for the
perpetual challenge cup, which was pur-
chased by subscription in 1895 and de-
posted with the Encina1 Yacht Club as
trustee. In that year the San Francisco
Yacht Club challenged with F. c. Bart
lett's sloop Queen, which was beaten by
the Encinal defender, FL Sueno. In 1896
the San Franciscos challenged again with
the sloop Catherine. but she was defeated
by the Encinal yacht Fawn. In 1897 the
Corinthians challenged with the Aeolus,
which defeated the Fawn and won the
trophy, which has not been challenged for
until a few weeks ago.
Ex-Commodore ]. w. Pew, who will
steer the Truant, is thoroughly familiar
with the Corinthan course, over which
the race will be sailed. He is an excellent
seaman and was commodore Of the Corin-
THAN Yacht Club In 1893. 1895 and 1896.

TINE directors of the Corinthian Yacht
Club decided yesterday to defend the
perpetual challenge cup, of which the
Corinthians have been the holders
since 1897, with ex-Commodore ]. w.
Pews sloop Truant. Last season the
Truant measured slightly over twenty
nine feet in racing length. and so would
not have been eligible as defender of the
cup. the extreme permissible length of
the defending boat being 2S05 feet. or 10
per cent greater than the racing length
of the challenger. the Calder of the San
Francisco Yacht Club. In order to reduce
her water-line length the Truant has been
lightened. considerably and in the heavy
weather that prevailed during the regatta
of September she seemed somewhat
tender. But 1t may be expected that the
winds will be lighter on September %,
the date set for the race.

FATALLY SHOT. DEPUTY SHERIFF SlLVERS, OF DEWITT, ACCIDENT
 ALLY KILLED. THE TERRIBLE MISTAKE That Deputy Sheriff Robinson Made Ended the Life of His Com
 paniOn Guard.
THE TERRIBLE MISTAKE

Dewitt, Jan, PA terrible mis- take which resulted in the death of Deputy Sheriff James SilYers occur red at the jail here. There is con- fined in the jail at this place man by the name of Johu Moss, who is nderindictment for cattle stealing. 1t was rumored about that Moss friends wereugoing to make a rald on the jail and release him. Deputy Sheriff ]. B. Johnson and James Sil- vers were guarding the jail, one be
 ing stationed on one side and one on the other. There was an under standing between them that neither was to cross a certain line By mis- take Silvers crossed tte line agreed upon and approached the place where Robinson was stationed. When within about 40 feet of Rob- inson Robinson asked who it was. Silyers failed to reply, but doubt less thinking l. was some oae else, cooked his gun. Robinson heard the click of the lock and fired, the ball entering Sllver's body, from which he died in about three hours. The night was very dark and the fatal shot was fred from the direc- tior of the noise of Silvers' gun.
 Every one regrets the sad occur renee, but no one more than Deputy Robinson, who fired the fatal shot.

The Gargon,s Head.

There is a great store of iron at E1izavetpol, but it is so heavily associ- ated with titanium, and this is so ex- pensive to cast off, that it is not believ- ed it can be profitably worked. AFrench engineer who studied the Caucasus products, said that this ore is of so little value that mountains of it in the United States are considered worthless, and passed over by capital. In order to work it at all, coke is necessary, and there is no coking coal in the region. A Russian engineer, interested in de- Veloptng the country, says that a coal that will produce coke has been found at a place thirty versts from Kotais, but this has yet to be demonstrated. Kotais, by the way, is the place to which the Argonauts came, and whence they brought back the Gorgon's head, with its flaming eyes, it's hair of snakes and its appearance of fearful ferocity the whole being symbolical of the feYer-producing climate and fierce wild beasts which still render the locality one to be avoided. The coal, which perhaps gave flame to the Gorgon's eyes, is in character something between Ignite and anthracite-a high grade of Ignite.

BisrnarcIx,s He'll.

When Bismarck was Prussian Am- bassador at Frankfort, an interesting incident occurred to him. At that mo- ment he lodged in the house of a mer- chant who detested the Prussians. Bismarck asked the54andlord to put a bell in his room. The latter replied that it was not in the house, and that if he wanted one he would have to put it up himself. A few days after the whole house was suddenly aroused by a pistol shot fired in the room. The landlord rushed into the apartment out of breath and found the ambassa- dor quietly smoking a large pipe, seat ed in front of pile of documents. On the table was the pistol which he had just fired.
