ABOUT THE AMERICAN CUP.

The following composition. the au- thor of which for obvious reasons must remain anonymous. is a genuine liter a,y effort from one of the suburoan T board schools:
 "A gentleman could sail his yacht very fast and he said he would give !. solid gold cup if any one could row their boat tastcr than his. SO there was a race between the Ainer.ca and the English the Americans had nlwaNs won. but Sir Thomas Lipton who la 3 shop in Angel Lane and another tt Forest Gate Is going to try and win the cup with his yacht. it is called the Shamrock and is painted green If Si. Thomas Llpton wins I shall ask mother tc buy her grocery of him all except jam
 Some of the above may be news tn Sir Thomas, but the probability of m inc recseG trade will no doubt be wei come intelligence.-London News.

FATAL GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
LttIs, Eugene Sherman Dies of Burns
at st. Simons-COI. krauss' Bravery
did Nnf SnVe Him.

Brunswick, Ca, July n.-Eugene, the
s-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
E. Sherman, died this afternoon from the
effects OF burns sustained this morning
by the spontaneous combustion of a can
of gasoline. Col. D. W. Krauss, promi-
nent attorney, was severely burned in
endeavoring to save the little fellow.
The fatal accident, which has saddened
many hearts, occurred in Solicitor Ben
nett's cottage on st. Simon's Island this
morning, and death ensued this after
noon, despite sklful medical attention.
Mr.. Sherman's and other families &C.
cupied connecting cottages. in the back
window Of which the gasoline can was
sitting The hot sun rays were beating
down on this can when the little boy be-
gan playing nearby. The combustion
shot the can lid many feet away, and
the burning fluid enveloped Eugene and
the entire room. Eugene ran outside,
and Col. Krauss. seeing the fire, ran to-
ward it, discovering the little boy. his
clothing a mass Of flames He beat the
flames from around his head first. and
with his bare hands smothered the cloth
ing, then when help arrived, extinguished
the burning building.
DR.. Meldrim came hurriedly from
st. Simons Mills, and tele-
phone to Mr.. Sherman, head-book-
keeper for the Downing Co., brought
the father. Later a special boat brought
DR.. Hugh Burford from Brunswick, but
the flames which the little boy had swal-
lowed ended his suffering before DR..
Burford arrived. The remains were
brought to Brunswick tonight. The
funeral will occur from the house to-nor-
row at 4:30.
Mrs. Morris of Augusta, mother of Mrs.
Sherman, is en- route. Mr.. Sherman's
parents of Chattanooga are here. Many
people were in the house when the ex-
p:osion occurred. but 1t was all over so
quickly they could not render much as
sistance. The family are well known in
Augusta and Chattanooga and have num-
bers of friends here, sympathizing with
them tonight.

SOUTH CARoLINA's OLD BOND SCRIP
CASE.

MIR. Wesley, the Holder of s1,OOO,000
Scrip Out of the $1,SOO,O00 Out
standing, Has at Last Succeeded I'm
Getting the Case Into the United
States Courts After Many Futile
EGorts-The Scrip Has Been Out
standing Nearly Thirty Years.
Columbia, S. c., July l1.-After waiting
the lifetime of a generation, Mr.. Wesley,
the holder of more than a million dollars
of revenue bond scrip issued by South
Carolina, will get the case in the United
States courts fairly upon its merits.
Many plans have been devised, but all
have heretofore failed.
In December, 1880. Mr.. William H.
Lyles of this city, who has been Mr.. Wes-
ley's attorney, rendered to the treasurer
Of Fairfield, in payment of $15.16 taxes on
a tract of land he owned, cash to the
amount of s13.16 and 80 in the revenue
scrip. The treasurer refused to receive
the tender on account of the scrip, and
in due time the land was sold for taxes
and purchased by a North Carolinian.
Action is now being brought in the
United states courts against the oWher'
by Mr.. Lyles to recover possession. This
is just where Mr.. Wesley has been trying
to get for twenty-nine years. 1t will
now be decided whether the scrip is
valid obligation Of the state; it is be-
lieved by many South Carolinaians that
it is. There is slsOO,OO0 now outstanding.
To get this case in the courts, Mr.. Wes-
ley years ago purchased from the state,
the Agricultural Hall in Columbia, pay
ing 5000 cash, and rendering the bal
ance in bond scrip. Gov. Ttllman imme-
dately seized the building, attempting
to foreclose the mortgage. After long
fight, the state lost, and the valuable
property went to Wesley. 1t was sac
rificed rather than risk getting the scrip
in court on its merits.
Mr.. Wesley seems to have advanced
money to the radicals in the early sew
enties on the scrip, acting in good faith.
