COLUMBIA Wins Third RACE.
The Last Race Being the Closest
Ever Sailed for the Trophy.

New York, Oct. with victory
flags Aying from her towering mast
heads and the ends of her spreaders in
honor of her concluding triumph in
the cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop
Columbia returned to her anchorage
tonight under the escort of the entire
excursion feet. She today completed
her defence of the honored trophy in
another stirring race with the Sham
rock II over leeward and windward
race Of 80 miles, crossing the line 2
seconds behind her antagonist, but
winning on the time allowance conced-
ed by Lipton's boat, by Al seconds.
For the second time she has now
successfully foiled the attempt of the
Irish knight to wrest from our posses
sion the cup that means the yachting
supremacy of the world. And the
plucky Sir Thomas Upton, standing
on the bridge of the Erin, led his
guests in three hearty huzzahs for the
successful defender. 'sShe is the bet
ter boat,'' he said, "and she deserves
to be cheered.'' -
The series of races just closed will
always be memorable as the closest
ever sailed for the cup and Sir Thomas
although defeated will 60 home with
the satisfaction of knowing that his
golden yacht is the ablest foreign boat
that ever crossed the western ocean.
During both series of races not an
untoward incident has occurred and
Sir Thomas will return to England by
far the most popular of all the foreign
ers who have challenged for the Amerl-
ca'S CUP.

A Cruel Husband Killed.

Camden, October ga tragedy was
enacted at the Camden Cotton Mills
this morning at O'Clock. The mar
riage relationship Of Harry Marcus and
his wife, Hattie, had been anything
but pleasant. He would frequently
get on sprees and beat his wife out
rageously, and he had served SEN
tence on the county chain gang for
whipping his wife. In the early part
of the year he broke out of Jail and
liberated several other prisoners at
the same time. His wife, who has
two small girls. is a laborer at the
Camden Cotton Mills. This morning
Marcus called at the house at 5 o'clock
with another man, and his wife says
she admitted him to get his trunk
upon the promise that he would not
bother her. AS soon as he came in he
began cursing and threatening her,
and his wife says he advanced toward
her with an open knife. She went
into another room to avoid him, but
being followed by her husband, who
had so often i'll treated her, she fired
a pistol at him, thinking he would
stop. She says she did not try to hit
him when she fred first, but as he
kept on after her she aimed the pistol
at his body, a 32-calibre pistol, the
ball taking effect just above the breast
bone, near the neck. He walked Off a
few steps and said "I'm killed. and
with this fell to the ground dead.
Magistrate Moore empanelled a jury
of inquest. B. 4. Clanton, an eye
witness, testified that Marcus, when
he first went into the house, kissed his
wife and asked for his baby, but when
he returned the second time, he did
not see what took place, but heard the
fuss going on. The verdict of the jury
was in accordance with above facts.
Mrs. Marcus has been committed to
jail. Capt NJ. L. Smith has been re-
tained to defend her. Application for
bail will be made for the defendant.

THE HUNT FOR ERRORS.

Editorial vigilance is the only safe
guard against errors in magazine
making. Every article that is pub
lished in The Ladies' Home journal,
for instance, is read at least four times
in manuscript form, and all state
ments of fact verified before it goes to
the printer. Then it is read and re-
vised by the proofreaders; goes back
to the author for his revision; is re-
read by the editors three or more
times at different stages; and again
by the proof-readers possibly half a
dozen times additional. Thus each
article is read at least fifteen and often
twenty times after leaving the authors
hands until it reaches the public eye.
But with all this unremitting vigilance
errors of the most obvious kind oc-
casionally escape observation until
perhaps the final reading, but it is
rare, indeed, that an inaccuracy
hides itself securely enough in the
pages to go through magazine
edition.
