THE CONSTITUTION DEFEATED
In a Race with the Columbia-Accf-
dents to Both Boats.

Newport. r. L July 1.-The consti-
tuition was defeated by the Columbia
today by the small margin of forty
eight seconds in the first real race in
which the new yacht has participated.
Although the contest from the start to
the finish was close and at times ex-
citing, in the opinion Of a majority. of
yachtsmen in Newport tonight, the
Constitution lost through misfortune.
However, the result of today's contest
is far from conclusive and there is still
much to be decided as 20 the relative
merits of the two racers
The mishap to the new boat came
about an hour after the start. While
the boat were on the second long tack
to windward the clew of the jib of the
new boat was carried away and for
some ten minutes she was without
the use of that sail. This accident set
the Constitution back, practically, a
mile. but in spite of it she was able to
get within two minutes of the Column
bia at the turn. but this led down more
han half the run home. Some Of this
gain, however, was due, undoubtedly to
the fac hat she brought up in the bet
ter wind. The Columbia did not es-
cape Without accident too. for imme-
diately after crossing the finish line, in
gybing over the big mainsail, her main
boom buckled and she had to be lowed
to the city. 1t will be necessary to sling
a new spar before the Columbia can
race again, but it is expected it will be
in place for a race Wednesday,.

FEDERAL COURT MANDATE
In the Mallett and Michigan Case
Scramble for Railway Directorships
Especial to The Messenger.)


Raleigh, N. c., July ii. c. L. Har-
riss today received the mandate Of the
United States court in the Mallet and
Michigan case, and turned it yer to
Clerk Kenan. Of the state supreme
court 1t directs the latter court to
make such orders as are necessary to
put into execution the sentence imposed
by Edgecombe criminal court; namely,
two years in Jail for 10Th Mallet and
Michigan who were convicted of con-
spiracy to defraud Woolard and Tate
out Of $4,000 money lent them by Mrs.
Woolard. They are now in Edgecombe
county under heavy bail.
There appears to be a great scramble
to get positions as state directors of
the North Carolina railway. 1t seems
that this Office carries with it a pass
over that DAD and over the entire
southern system and over other rail-
ways in the state, n that passes are
secured all over the country. 1t is
therefore no wonder that these eight
appointments are coveted especially by
people who have any travelling to do.
1t it added that Pullman passes can
also be had for the asking by these
lucky ones. 1t "a confidently expected

pointments today and also that of the

Wilmington won the first game OF the
week from Raleigh yesterday after
noon, this making six victories out OF
the sever games played in the race FOR
the championship OF he last half OF the
scheduled games in the Carolina-Vir-
ginia League.
The game was very interesting. and
was well played in most respects,
though at times the playing was loose
and slow.
Wilmington had only one error TO its
credit while the visitors were credited
with four. Our error didn't cost any
thing. but the visitors were not so for
tunate, n run in the eighth inning be-
ing caused entirely by their errors.
For the first three innings neither side
scored, but in their half Of the fourth
h Raleighites crossed the plate one
time. Sorber came up and flied out to
Clayton. Curran struck out Smith hit
safely for one base and he scored on
LeGrande's long fly to left. Venable
retired the side by tanning.
Wilmington came in their half Of the
same inning determined to even things
up. They did better h they knew"
Devlin was given a free pass to first
and then steal second. Sebring takes
o balls and walks. Crockett hits to
center for one base. With bases full
Thackera lines out a safe hit I right
field, scoring Devlin and Sebring, then
Thackera steals home. The ext three
men up are put out and the side is re-
tired.
The visitors try hard to overcome this
plate another time.
Wilmington adds one more run to her
credit. In the eighth, Sebring reaches
first on Kelly's error, then goes to Sec
ond on a bad play by Hennager. Crock
EFT is safe at first on error Of Venable.
Thackera flies out to Smith who throws
to Hennager catching Crockett At sec
ond, but on this play, Sebring crosses
the bag. Warren ends the fun by HIT
ing a fly ball to Smith in left field.
A most unpleasant feature of the
game was the ceaseless and useless
kicking n quarreling of the visiting
layer Beginning with the very first
inning, Kelly and his whole crowd were
worse han children and kicked al
everything in sight. Some of the lang
guage used on the diamond will not be
tolerated by Wilmington people when
aides are in the grand stand.
Kelly, Stanley and Atz were particu-
larly d%isorderly.- Wilmington people
love good base a and are willing &c
pay for it, but they are not willing tC
pay to see any crowd Of people come
here and roundly and rowdily abuse
everything they can. The umpiring
was fair and Mr.. Staley should put any
player off the field who treats him as
he was treated yesterday afternoon,
We hope that the game this evening
will be free from kicks and the genuine
article of base ball given us.
Following is the tabulated score:

w. n. TAFT,S COMMISSION
As Civil Governor OF the Philippines
Issued by the President

Washington, July 1.-The president
today signed the commission of William
H. Taft, of Ohio, as civil governor of
the Philippine islands. Judge Taft was
satisfied some time ago., when instruc-
lions were sent him relative to the in
auguration of civil government in the
islands July 4th, that he would be ap-
pointed civil governor.
While the appointment Of the civil
governor is credited to the war depart
ment. this does not mean necessarily
that the president is proceeding entire
ly under his war power in setting UP
c,V1l government in the Philippines.
He is not differentiating the source of
his authority. He is acting, SO it is au-
t~horitatively stated, under all the power
he has in the premises.

FEARFUL WORK OF LIGHTNING
Eleven Boys Killed by a single
Thunderboit

Chicago, July l-Eleven boys were
ly injured this afternoon by a single
bolt Of lightning. The victims were
fishing in Lake Michigan at the foot OF
Montrose boulevard, on the northside,
The fatal bolt struck the pier where
they were seated and all were thrown
into the lake. Only one boy has so far
recovered.
A policeman attracted TO the pier
by h crashing timbers found il impos-
sible to rescue any Of the victims The
heavy timbers Of the pier had been
shattered and the whole structure top
pied into the water. He hurried TO a pa
troll box and called for assistance.
Nearly an hour elapsed before aid
arrived. The work of recovering the
bodies was extremely difficulty, but II
naIly they were carried to shore. Ow-
ing 10 the terrific thunderstorm prev
alent the work of identification was
extremely slow.
Oppressed by the extreme heat the
boys a gone in bathing. When the
rain began TO fall and il became evil
dent a severe electrical storm was COM
ing. they rushed to a shelter they had
built on pier. Willie Anderson, u years
Of age. was the only survivor of the
shock which followed a moment later.
To the policemen he gave a bare idea
The the policemen he gave a bare idea
Of the horrible ending to the days sport
and then tainted. He was carried TO a
nearby house where medical assistance
vas rendered.
The fatal stroke was the most power
full seen here in years. The pier was
demolished in a trice, giving the boys
not the slightest chance Of escape.

Four Waterspouts

We are informed that a number of
people at Wrightsville Beach on Sunday
morning saw four small water spouts
out to sea a few miles from the beach.
They rose up out of the ocean in a
northeasterly direction. The first
spout was noticed shortly after 2 o'clock
and 1T soon broke up, to be followed in
a few minutes by another. Two others
followed shortly afterwards. The spouts
appeared to be a rapidly revolving fun
mel OF water extending from She sea
into the clouds.

BeE Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
1ousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of fundigested food, regulate the
action of the liver. stimulate the ner-
vous and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower, IN liquid form,
to make you satisfied. There is moth
