pital on account of illness, caused. pre-
sumably, by ptomaine poisoning. OF

left standing over night for breakfast,
and attribute the trouble to the ice.
The cooks also claim that no canned
goods have been used for six months,
and that nothing has been cooked In

been posted here to-day announcing
the taking over Of the Ohio River rail-
road, the Ravenswood. Spencer e. Glen
Vile, the Ripley & Mill Greek Valley.
the Huntington & Big Sandy and the
West Virginia Short Line railroads. 1t
is announced that they will form the
Ohio river division and that the old
officers are requested to remain In the
old positions. The superintendent Is to
have sole charge OF the road. reporting
only to General Manager Potter, OF the
Baltimore & Ohio, and to him direct.
He will take personal supervision OF
the division. The exemption of the
division from the cumbersome methods
OF the Baltimore & Ohio and the fact
that 1t is allowed to retain Its old
methods indicates that the manage
ment of the road was entirely satisfac-
tory under the old regime.

MIL Creek Miners Have n Chapel In
side the Mi~ne--servfces Regularly
Held.
Special to the Register.
ELKHORN, w. Va, September b.
OF all the mines In the coal fields of
Southwestern West Virginia none have
gained a reputation for their intense
religious zeal except the MIL creek
mine, near this town. There is neither
church nor school house there, but the
miners hold their religious services
lust the same. One corner OF the mine
has peer fitted up as a sanctuary, rude,
1t Is true, but the miners are as proud
of It as they would be OF upholstered
pews In a metropolitan tabernacle.
Hardly a single digger OF coal ever
misses n meeting, even the boss II
superintendent attend. The miners
themselves, taking turn about, conduct
the services. They are held at noon
once each week. When the time comes
on that day to quit work, just as they
are when they lay down their tools
they go to the place Of worship. The
simplicity, zeal and fervor which per-
vades the meetings are characteristic
of the religious ferver that has led
them to worship in this manner.

Costaki Anthopulo Pacha, has been in
structeo to inform Great Britain that
the action of the commander of a Brit
ish warship in the Persian Guk. in pre-
venting the Turkish corvette Sehob

NEW YORK, September 5.-After watt
ing three hours for n breeze, Manager
Jameson, of tho Shamrock H., held =
consultation with Sir Thomas Upton and
Designer Watson, and they decided not
to take the yacht out for a trial spin to-
day. but TO unbend the mainsaii and try
another one that has never been used
and that needs stretching. This was done
during the afternoon, and by shutdown
the yacht was all ready for an early
start tomorrow morning.
At noon an Associated Press dispatch
announcing that the Columbia had been
officially selected to defend the Americas
cup. was handed to Sir Thomas Upton
on board the Erin. After reading it he
said:
II thank you for the information. OF
course / sha Iabide by any decision the
committee may make. Il am sure they
have made a proper selection. for know
their Judgment is correct. All l want Is
to sail the Shamrock against the fastest
boat In America. and II 1t Is the Columbia
has been made
Neither Mr.. Jameson nor Mr.. Watson
cared to say anything about the selection
OF the Columbia.
Captain Sycamore seemed pleased.
1--WE nave thought all along that she
would be the boat" said he, "and l am
sure that anything the New York Yacht
Club does is satisfactory"
Sir Thomas Upton entertained q mum
Der of visitors on board the Erin during
the day.
If there is a good breeze In the morping.
the Shamrock will surely be sent over one
of the Americas courses, either fifteen
miles to windward and leeward and re-
turn. or over a triangular course q ten
miles to the leg.
There seems to pc a Jubilant feeling
among the crew of the Shamrock 1t the
selection of the as the cup de-
fender. They have not much to say, but
1t is plain they feel very much encour-
aged at the prospect of meeting the old
defender OF 1899. for they do not believe
she has improved enough to defeat the
Shamrock III. in any kind of weather.
They argue that their yacht was designen
to beat one ten minutes faster than the
Columbia. and so they can surely beat
her with the Shamrock H.. as she Is now
In perfect racing form.

THE SELECTION.
BETTER THAN THE NEW BOAT.
SIR THOMAS LIproN Is SATISFIED.
sHAMRoCK,s REV SCENTS
VICTORY.

NEWPORT. II. /. September 5.-Tha
cup challenge committee of the New
York Yacht Club. after n long session
last night. met again this morning to
consider the relative merits of the Con-
stitution and Columbia and select tho
sloop which will defend the cup. Every
race which the two yachts have engag-
ed In was considered.
Finally 1t was decided to select tho
Columbia to defend the cup
Secretary ]. V. s. oddie, of the club,
came ashore from the flagship Corona.
at noon. where the meeting was held.
and stated that tho Columbia would
defend the cup. He Also stated that
| there would be no more races between
the Constitution and Columbia. Column
bia will be taken as soon as possible
to Bristol and ~overhauled and taken To
Erie basin, where abe and Shamrock
IL. will be remeasured for the cup
races.
As the cup defender, Columbia will
be captained by Charley Barr, and ex-
Commodore II. ID. Morgan Will act as
her managing owner. In oil probable
ity c. Oliver Iselin. managing owner OF
Columbia In her races with tho older
Shamrock, Will sail on Columbia In the
contest.
The selection of the Columbia raises
two questions In the yachting world.
First, ia Columbia sufficiently improved
over her 1899 form to beat Shamrock
H., and, second. did Nat Herreshon.
the veteran designer reach his limit
when he built the Columbia?
The members Of the New YORK
Yacht Club are almost a unit In the
opinion that II Constitution could have
been tuned into shape she would have
beer the better boat. Be 1t to the cred
1t OF w. Butler Duncan, the new boats
managing owner, that he did all ne
could, but Herreshof, Rhodes. Duncan
ct al. could never seem to overcowf
her pure c~ussedness."
The scene OF the yachting world now
shifts to the course off Sandy Hook.
where Columbia and Shamrock II. met
for the first international cup race on
September Il.
