ALL ADJUDGED BANKRUPTs.
Sinclair Bros. Declared bankrupt
and Date Set for Creditors Meeting

anu kJAte set LOT MeeI1nE
Sinclair Bros, David s. Sinclair and
Benz r. Sinclair the petition of all of
whom were filed some time ago. were ad-
Indicated bankrupts by Referee A. H.
MacDonneI yesterday, and the first meet
ing of their creditors was set for 10 o'clock
in the forenoon of May 20, at the office OF
the referee. AT this hour the creditors are
invited to come forward, prove their
claims, appoint a trustee. examine the
bankrupts and transact such other bust
ness as may properly come before such
meeting.
Sinclair Bros. formerly conducted a mer-
chandlse business at Darien, but the store
and stock were destroyed by fire in 1891,
and the partnership virtually dissolved at
that time. Most of the debts returned in
the schedules attached to the hankrupts'
petition are owed by David S. Sinclair,
and amount to about $4,000. The partner
ship and separate assets returned are not
sufficient to discharge even the majority of
the liabilities.

dition After Troops Depart.
The city authorities intend to keep close
watch of the sanitary fixtures at the army
camps. While troops occupy the camps
it is stated all fixtures are kept clean, as
the government looks upon this an inn
portaut duty while troops are waiting to
be mustered out. When the troops leave,
however, the fixtures are liable 20 get in
bad condition, unless properly disinfected
before they are left.
IL is the intention of the health authori-
ties to send an Inspector overs the ground
10 see that everything is in proper coudi-
ton. No fears are entertained that I'M
cleanliness will be tolerated while the
troops remain, however. The inspectors
are now engaged having rubbish removed
from Yamacraw but will probably be
through within the next two days when
those necessary will be detailed to the
army camps. Whatever disinfecting is
found necessary will be done by the CITY.

DRAINAGE w0nk STOPPED.
Extension of Time for Contractors
Expired at MidniEht.

ENpifeu ut mluhiSnt.
The house drainage work was closed on
River street last night. by special per-
nit of the sanitary board the contractors
were allowed to continue the digging on
River street until midnight. Owing to the
difficulties encountered at the West Broad
street outlet the contractors were de-
layed, and were therefore unable to COM
plete the work within the time they ex-
pected.
While there is a considerable mart os
sthe system which may be used if the CITY
sees fit to do so, the chances are this win
not be done until the section mapped ami

the digging of the streets to make the
connections would probably counteraet al

work Will be resumed in November.

FREELAND, PA, JUNE 30, 1899.
End of the Eleventh Year.

The TRIBUNE today closes its eleventh
volume and adds another year to its
life. Little need be said on this occa-
sion, beyond acknowledging to our
patrons our appreciation of their valued
assistance in building up this institu-
tion and assuring them that the paper
and the publishers will endeavor to
continue worthy of the very generous
support given during the past twelve
months.
We believe that both advertisers and
subscribers of the TRIBUNE, as well
as the patrons of the printing depart
ment, have received full value, never
theless the publishers feel that their
thanks to the public in general are in
place on this occasion, and we tender
them fully and without reserve.
AS in the past, the TRIBUNE will con-
tinue to publish all the local news of its
aeld without bias or partiality. Its COM
p1ete and comprehensive reports of every
public affair, meeting and gathering will
remain one of the features of its columns
In private and personal matters proper
discretion will be used, as heretofore,
but nothing which its readers ought to
be informed upon will be suppressed.
Loyalty to the town will hold as prom
inent place in its columns as it has
since the first issue appeared, and its
aid and assistance may be confidently
looked for in every movement that will
advance the town or its people.
In its editorial columns the publishers
will continue to state their opinions
clearly, forcibly and without fear or
favor, whether the subject discussed
shall be one OF local or general import
ance.
In short, the TRIBUNE will begin its
twelfth year on the same lines which u
followed from its inception. The prn-
cipes and paths of the past have won
it the confidence of the community, and
from these there has arisen patronage
which has made the TRIBUNE that
which every newspaper should belts
own master.

A comparison of the plans of the
sails Of the Columbia and the Defend.
er, published herewith, will give some
idea of the enormous spread of canvas
the new yacht will carry. In the plans
the full lines show the sail spread of
the Columbia and the dotted lines that
of the Defender. This is the first time
That comparison of the sail spread
of the two boats have been published.
When the Defender was raced, three
years ago, it was thought that in sail
area she had almost reached the limit,
but 1t will be seen thai Herreshoff has
given TO the new boat about Is per
cent. more spread than the champion
of 1895. On the waterline the two
boats are about the same length, but
in over all length the Columbia is
seven feet longer. Her ballast has
been SO adjusted that it is expected
that she will be able to carry the in
creased spread easily, and 1t Is posi-
bic before the cup races are sailed
the Columbia will have her sail plan
enlarged. This was done in 1895 with
the Defender, and If Herreshoff has
been as conservative in his figuring
this year as he was then it will be
done again.
All the spars on the Columbia are
from two to five feet longer than those
on the Defender. The main boom is
about three feet longer, the gaff about
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-06-29

five feet and the topmast five feet The
mast, too, Is longer, SO that the main
sail will be about three feet longer on
the foot, five feet longer on the gaif
and about two feet more hoist. The
triangle of the head sails is little
longer on the base and about five feet
more in height, so that the jib. jibtop-
sail and staysail will be much larger
than those carried on the Defender
The club topsail will be larger. This
increase Is made possible by the top
hamper of the boat having been made
as light as possible and by the weights
below the waterline having been CON
centrated very low. The clubs for the
topsail will be about ten feet longer
than those on the old boat, and when
the topsail is set any light breeze that
may be floating about will drive the
Columbia when they will pass over the
Defender. The sail spread of the new
boat will be near to 1880 square feet.
and although she will displace more
water than the old one, it is thought
that the extra sail spread will make
her much faster.
The dimensions of the Columbia and
her spars are:
Length over all, 131 feet 6 inches:
load water line so feet 6 inches, beam,
"a feet; draught, 2 feet; mast, 107 feet
g inches; deck to hounds, n feet; boom,
100 feet inches; gaff, 20 feet bow
spirit, SO feet: topmast, "a feet spin
maker boom, 73 feet; sail a.ea, about
1880 square feet.

NORTHAMPTON HORSES
RUNNING OF TWO-YEAR oLDS MAKES
+. SELECTION IMPOSSIBLE.

Season OF 1899 Well Advanced and Yet No
One Is Able to Say "Thsre Is the Horse
Of tho Ysar"-Samo Conditions Exist
with Three-Year OIds.
The season of 1900 is pretty well ad.
vanced by this time, yet no one is able
to pick two-year-old out of the bunch
that has shown and say There Is the
champion of the year." The situation
Is the same In the three -year-old divi-
sion. The two-year-olds are running
in and out with delightful abandon.
Donblet, when he won the Juvenile
In such commanding fashion, was be-
lieved to be one Of the best, but, when
His Highness came back and beat
him, then 1t became evident that some
mistake had been made and that Gid
con 4 DAILY We're to furnish the cham
pion after all. Then along comes Pupil
to trim His Royal Highness, and a
subsequent defeat In the Expectation
lowered the Gideon & DAILY colt still
further In the public estimation.
Doublet made his third appearance
and was badly beaten and now he is
fallen idol.
The writer likes High Order and Vul-
cain as the pick of those that have thus
far been seen in public.
High Order won his first race with
out any effort. He won the Hudson
stakes in the same easy style, beating
n good field in Marbert. Withers,
Doublet, Prince of Melbourne and 9th
ers. 1t is true he carried no weight
to speak of. but he runs like race
horse and will prove himself one Of
the best two-year-olds of the year II
the writer is not greatly mistaken.
He is very poorly engaged, which is
a pity. He has not single stake en-
gagement at Sheepshead and the Hud-
son was his only engagement at Grave
send. 1t seems queer that he should
! have been entered In this single stake
out of the two meetings.
Vulcain has been unfortunate. He
showed his quality in the Expectation
when, from n bad start, he ran n
cracking good race. But he had the
misfortune to be cut down, and n fur
ther mshap occurred when he was
struck in the eye with clod of dirt.
While these two colts appear to be
the best of those that have thus far
been seen, it is not to be thought that
they are Hamburgs or Dominos, 1t is
probable that there will be good aver
age class which will make good rae
ing and promise a strong three-year-
old division in 1900.
Filigrane is probably the best of the
three-year-olds, but, in order to prove
his claim, he must meet and defeat
Jean Beraud. The latter is likely to
improve his form which measured by
Half Time, cannot be considered par
ticularly good. Half Time has been
conceded weight and been beaten by
Ethelbert, Filigrane and Lothario.
This last named horse is a puzzle.
His performances up to recently were
very bad, and it seems odd that his
owner should have known exactly
when he was good and profit by that
knowledge to the extent of winning
S50,000.
The stewards might have asked n
few questions concerning this sudden
improvement in form. A great many
people thought Pittsburg Phil had Sc
cured gold brick, but it turns out
upon assay that the real dust is found.
