start. On the way out Columbia gradual
" pulled away from Constitution. The
wind shifted a little to the east, so that
the boats were able to lay better course
on the port tack than on the starboard
tack. Columbia was the first to come
about and head for the mark on the star
board tack at 1:44, followed a minute
later by Constitution. At this time it
looked as if Columbia was nearly half a
mile ahead. Only the topsails of the two
yachts could be seen from shore, the
hulls being below the horizon. So nearly
had they been able to fetch the mark on
the port tack that the starboard tack was
a short one. On this brief tack, however,
Columbia gained more and had a fine lead
when, at 1928, she swung round on the
port tack again and headed for the outer
mark Columbia rounded at 1:30:35; Con-
stitution, 1920, lead for Columbia Of
/ minute and 45 seconds, and gain in a
fifteen mile beat to windward of / minute
and 80 seconds.
Both boats jibed around the mark and
with booms to port headed for the finish.
The yachts sailed some time before break
ing out their spinnakers and in the first
fifteen minutes of sailing it looked as If
Constitution had gained little Just
before reaching the outer mark the wind
increased to something over II knots an
hour, which practically ensured a fine
race to the finish.

NEW PHONE LINES
Consolidated Telephone and Tele-
graph Company Organized.
WILL BUILD LINE TO DULUTH
Minnesota to BE Strung With Inde-
pendent Wires-Twin City Com
pany Behind the Scheme.

To place the twin cities in direct tele-
phonic communication with every corner
of the state and the northwest is the pur-
pose of the Consolidated Telephone and
Telegraph company which came into ex-
istence to-day by the filing articles of in
corporation with the secretary of state
There is capital, brains, push and energy
behind the company and 1t expects to rev.
olutionize the telephone business of the
northwest.
The new company will be associated
with the Twin City Telephone company
and will have its headquarters in the
latter's new exchange which is being
erected at Third avenue and Seventh
street. The company will have a working
capital of $100, 900. The officers and direct
ors OF the new company are as follows:
E. H. Moulton, president; Clarence H.
Judson, secretary; Edward E. Webster,
treasurer; H. H. Potter and w. R..
Clement. 1t is learned from Mr.. Webster,
general manager of the Twin City COM
pany that the first move out of the twin
cities will be toward the head of the lake.
AS matter Of fact line has already been
surveyed and materials purchased and the
work of construction will begin within a
lday or two. 1t is President Moulton's wish
to prosecute the work as fast as possible
in the hope that the Lake Superior twins
may be talking with the Mississippi river
twins within thirty days.
In Duluth the Consolidated company will
connect with the Zenith City Telephone
company having between 1900 and 1000
| subscribers and in West Superior the con-
nection will be with the Peoples Tele-
phone company, which has 800 subscribers.
The Zenith City company has been making
great progress in Duluth.
The new long distance line will be OF
great convenience to the grain, coal, -four,
iron and jobbing interests as we'll as the
general public.
AS soon as the Duluth line is con-
nected with the twin cities, possibly be-
fore, the Consolidated will branch out
into other parts of the state. There are
already many Independent local telephone
companies in the state and the Consoli-
dated will stand to them in the relation
of parent.

that region. Mr. Cross was the son of Rev.
Gorhem Cross, who was called the father of
Congregationalism in northern New York, and
of Sophia Murdock Cross. On his fathers

THURSTON In THE LEAD
IN THE wINoNA GOLF FINALS
Where Special Prizes Went-HOp
Closes Tournament This
Evening.

Special to The Journal
Winona, Mimi, Aug. 31.-Much Of the
interest in the finals in the state golf
tournament was taken away by the fact
that the contest is between two Winonans,
outside competition having been shut off
in the semifnals. Notwithstanding this
and the fact that the other contests were
decided yesterday, nearly all CT the visit
ing golfers remained for to-day's play,
and one of the largest galleries of the
turnament followed w. M. Bolcom and
T. P Thurston around the course this
morning. To-day's final was for thirty
six holes. Half was played this morning
and half this afternoon. Both contestants
played hard. Bolcom is the more bril-
liant player, and at times puts up re-
markable game, but Thurston is general
ly steadier and such proved to be the
case this morning The match was very
close the lead alternating several times.
At the end of the first eighteen holes
Thurston stood two up. Bolcom may be
able to overcome this lead on final eigh
teen holes this afternoon, but the chances
favor Thurston, the young Episcopal rec
tor.
The prizes in the consolation, special
and buffers contests were awarded in
neat speeches by Congressman Tawney,
the recipients responding. The buffers
DOugnt go1 DallS Win tnelf contributed
pot of money and divided the balls
among the leaders in the contest it being
thought that playing for money and do
mating the same to charity might lay
them open to a charge of professionalism.
At the hop this evening the championship
cup and the cup won by M. Doran, Jr.,
ST. Paul, for the best score in the pre-
liminary round will be awarded.
Winona players secured both prizes in
the consolation contest, A. w. Laird win
ming the prize cup and G. P. Crangle the
cup for the runner up. St. Paul got the
cup for the best score in the qualifying
round, this being won by M. Doran, Jr.,
The two prizes in the special contest went
to A. B. Cults of Bryn Mawr and F. E.
Stewart Of the same Minneapolis club.
E. w. Alger of the Bryn Mawr club also
won the buffers contest, which was for
SIG worth of golf balls.

onds corrected time.
Batemans Point, Aug. 31.-The commit
tee boat at 11:20 'signalled a windward
and leeward race of fifteen miles, the
course being south southeast. The wind
had hauled to the south Of east and had
dropped to about eight knots. The COM
mittee announced that, under the new
measurements, Constitution allows Co
lumbia one minute and eleven seconds
over a thirty mile course. This is a de-
crease of six seconds since the yachts
were last measured.
Both yachts prepared for the start with
No. 2 top clubsails set over their lower
sails and baby jib topsails in stops. The
preparatory signal was fired at 11:30 and
five minutes later came the warning sig
nat Both yachts at this time were up to
the windward of the line but three min
utes before the starting signal Columbia
bore round and stood round the flagship
on the western end of the line. Consti-
tuition followed and tried to overtake the
old boat by breaking out her jib tops.
Cutting in close by the stern Of the COM
mittee boat, Constitution succeeded in
getting a nice place on the weather Of
Columbia, but Captain Barr knew a trick
worth two of that He trimmed in his
sheet and being on the starboard tack,
forced the Constitution across the line
before the gun was fired
Columbia also was over, but by quick
work Captain Barr wore ship and stood
back, and the next time Columbia crossed
she was to the weather of Constitution
and also ahead Constitution, being slow
er, could not catch up with the old boat
and crossed astern. The starting time
was:
Columbia 11:41:45
Constitution 11:42:00.
Handicapped at the Starting.
Constitution was handicapped by the
starting. Within two minutes after the
starting gun was fired, Columbia went over
on the starboard tack but Immediately
tackled on Constitutions weather bow as
the latter crossed on the port tack
The wind at this time was blowing
good ten knots and the yachts stood
straight out to sea, and at IL: so Columbia
was gaining and fully one-eighth of q
mile ahead of Constitution.
Both boats held out to sea on the port

The wreck was caused by the break
Ing in two Of freight train on the steep
grade Of Rocky mountain foothill The
rear end of the freight tore loose from the
head end, dashed backward down the
mountain and crashed into the rear end
of the passenger train which was Just
pulling out of the station at Nyack. The

The third car from the rear was also
burned, but those within managed to
escape when the collision occurred. The
fire continued to spread through the mass

dozen or more freight cars and their con-
signments of valuable freight.
Finally the passenger train was cut in
two between the third and fourth cars
from the rear and the balance was drawn
to safe distance from the fire.
