EXPERTS ON THE RESULT OF
THE FIRST DAYS CUP RACE
It Looks to Caspar Whitney and Captain Hank
t1aff Like the Same Old Story of a
Yankee Success.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27-The World
says: Yesterdays failure of the
Columbia and the Shamrock to finish
the first race for the Americas cup
occurred under circumstances which
do not warrant positive differences as
to what will happen when the two
yachts sail over the course with
enough wind to cover 1t within the
time limit. The Columbia was over
mile ahead of the challenger when
the race was declared off, but, as the
Worlds expert, John r. Spears points
out in his report, this is of doubtful
significance. Two years ago Sham
rock 1 was similarly in the lead at
the close of several fluke days, though
the Columbia proved the winner when
the final conclusions were reached. All
that was proved yesterday, as Mr..
Spears puts it, was that "in breeze
SO light that the course could not be
covered the Columbia was the swifter
boat"
Caspar Whitney, the famous writer
on American sports, says: 1T looks
as if it would be the same old story.
The weather was the kind in which
the Shamrock is said to be the most

for better weather on Saturday. The
contest promises to be a great one. but
I am confident that Captain Sycamore
and his men will prove their ability
during the races"
E. D. Morgan said: Naturally I am
disappointed that there was no race.
The Columbia got good start, but the
other boat may get the lead next time
am greatly pleased with the work
Of Captain Barr and crew. The fluky
wind was the cause of the failure Of

judge of the relative merits Of the
boats. I am we'll satisfied with the

Remnant Week again!

Remnant Week again!
1t never occurs but twice yeag here.
Never make Remnant Week till we're
ready-then we do 1t carefully.-force-
fully-make it an event to be talked
about and remembered.
For three weeks we have been busy
measuring up every remnant and dress
length-Silks to Calicos. Laces. Lawns.
Batistas. Organizes, Cambrics, Cling
hams, sheetings, shirtings. Table Lin
ems, Ribbons to Linings-nothing but
what's carefully ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
price on each in plain figures; SO that
you can practically wait on yourself.
There have been no dull times in this
store. The last half-year's business
amounted to many thousands more
than in the corresponding period last
year-hence more remnants; and as to
price-well. those of you who attended
our Sale six months ago know what
kind of prices we put on Remnants.
Those who didn't will be well paid to
come in during this week.

, onstrated that she is not the equal of
the two-year-old Columbia on going
TO wfndward or on a close reach, as
the return work proved to be- 1 am
inclined to think we shall see her best
work in sitter breeze, but this is the
very kind of weather in which the
Columbia has no equal, in my judg-
ment''
Captain Hank Half, who sailed the
famous Defender in the race against
Yalkyrie III, says: From what l saw
yesterday it looks like the same old
story. The cup will undoubtedly stay
where it is, though with little less
sea than was running yesterday and
an eight or ten knot breeze the Sham
rock will do better and make a close
race.
There is little to criticize in the
handling of either boat. 1t was a very
trying day for the man at the wheel.
but both shippers sailed their boats
with the skill of an artist and took
advantage of every puff of the variable
wind. If there was any mistake made
it was by Sycamore in lacking to the
eastward the first time, as he had his
wind clear and was in a position to
benefit by hauling to the south, and
there were unmistakable signs that it
would do So"

RIOTOU5 NEGROES.

the mines on Lamp Greek, in Fayette
county. The cause OF the trouble was
the arrest of negro by Squire Clay
Workman, and as he was carrying the
prisoner to the place of trial, four or five
negroes, armed with Colts revolvers,
demanded lis release. Workman re-
fused to give up the prisoner, when they

dead, and stood firing at the Others I'M
til his pistol was empty and his cloth

then he ran into house near by. Soon
the house was surrounded by forty or
fifty negroes, aud with pistols and Win.

of bullets, yet Workman kept them
from entering the house, and remained
untouched. A special engine was sent
from Thurmond to the place OF trouble
as coon as possible, carrying men and

rived the negroes fed. A strong guard
armed with Winchesters took the pris-
oners TO jail, and went back to make

England's Great Income.

London, Jan. 2.-Though the Brit
ish governmental financial year does
not expire till the end OF March, the
revenue returns for the last nine months
attract much attention and cause much
self-gratulation on the part of Eng.
lish financial critics. Last March the
Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated
the gain OF the ensuing twelve months,
due to the expansion of revenue, apart
from new taxation, would be about
100000. The returns show that
during only nine months the actual
gain was over $4,000 1000. 1t re.
mains to be seen what increase the In
come tax will yield, though at one
shilling to the pound each penny and
pound is expected to yield q smaller
product than when the rate was lower.
but the gains on customs and excise
duties are evidence that the period has
been one OF great commercial prosperi-
tv, so the income tax return is expect.
ed TO show email comparative de-
cline. Taxing the war into account,
the returns undoubtedly prove the sur.
prising financial strength of the nation.
Certainly no other nation in Europe
could have witbstood such a strain
upon its resources as Great Britain
withstood in 1900 and have shown
such gratifying results at the years
close.

The Rathbun Poisoning Case

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 2.-CoroDer
Mix, this morning, filed his findings 10
the now famous Rsthbun poisoning
case. He concludes that William Rath.
hun came to his death by the admins
traton OF arsenic, and holds that Mrs.
Ann Rathbun, widow of the dead man,

that for the past ten years John F.
Hart, brakeman on the same train
with Rathbun, had boarded with the
kathbuns and that for seven years Mrs.
Rsthbun and Hart had been unduly
intimate. These relations, according to
the Coroner's fndings, ceased four
months ego and thereupon Mrs. Rath-
bun became angry aud jealous of Hart,
aud believed his conduct was due
to his preferences for others.
Ga Thursday. December 20, 1900, Mrs.
Rsthbun procured box of "Rough on
Rats" and upon that night the poison
was placed by her in quantity OF COZ
fee which was to be taken by Hart 10
his dinner pail as his supply next day.
Rathbun and Hart left the home TO-
gether. Upon arrival at the caboose
Hart took drink of coffee, whereupon
ne stated to Rsthbun that the coffee
had peculiar taste and he requested
Rathbun to taste it. Rathbun drank
a quantity OF the coffee and shortly
thereafter became sick. The coroner
then recites the symptoms OF their i'll.
ness and Rsthbuu's death and says he
died from the effects of the poison. II
