New York. Aug. 31.-Through strenuous
exercise and careful living H. Victor New
comb has driven from his brain the last
effects OF the chloral habit that twice sent
him to q sanitarium.
By q bitter legal fight Of sixteen months
against his wife and son. and by undergo
ing eight days OF persistent examination by
alienists. he has regained control Of q for
tune Of $25O.000 that for two years has been
under the management Of another.
Judge Giegertch. in the Supreme Court,
on recommendation OF Peter b. Olney, as
referee, Pisned the order that restores to
Mr.. Nekcomb the control of his large
property. taking 1t from James A. Hawes,
the Commissioner.
Mr.. Newcomb was for several years pres
ident Of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road. was prominent in the building of the
West Shore road and owns considerable
New York real estate.
Mr.. Newcomb's $250.000 is but the remnant
Of large fortune. In the eighties, just
after he lcft the. presidency OF the Louis
Vile and Nashville. he was a man Of great
wealth. About 1880. when reverses had
come. worry drove sleep from him, and, as
the referee finds. he took chloral to en-
able him to sleep. His health was soon
broken, and in 1901 he was declared In
competent to care for himself, and was
placed in a sanitari1m at Falkirk, N. Y,
his wife being appointed committee Of
his person and estate.
Mrs. Newcomb and her son believed they
were acting in Mr.. Newcomb's interest in
opposing his request.

Of the most beautiful contests between
the crews Of two universities ever seen
on the river. From the sound Of the
referees pistol until the finish it was
anybody's race, Harvard got the best
of the start and was slightly ahead in
the first mile. Then Yale pulled to
the front. Harvard spurted and the
boats were even. Then the crimson
shell was bit ahead, and at the three
mile mark it seemed as if Harvard
would be victorious, but the awful pace
was telling on the Cambridge boat.
Yale came up alongside again and
down the long line between rows Of
yachts that fanked the line it was an
absolutely even thing. In the last
quarter of mile Yale hit up the stroke
again and hundred yards from the
finish the nose of the New Haven shell
was poked perceptibly to the front.
Harvard was unable to respond again
to the frantic call of her coxswain, and
the blue was winner. The official
time: Yale. 1881: Harvard, 23:45.
Yale Freshmen Also Win.
The freshmen race and the four-oar
contest preceded the big event of the
day. The freshmen Fights were sent
off up the river for their two-mile row
just after five o'clock. Yale crossed
the line four and half lengths ahead.
Time was: Yale, 1927 As; Harvard,
10:4s. In the four-oar race Harvard
won. Time: Harvard, 11:49 is; Yale,

it was nearly an hour after the shoot
ing before life was extinct. During
the day Rogers arranged for the min
lister to perform the marriage cere-
mony at the home. of his sweetheart's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. j. McKinnon.
About 20 invited guests were assem-
bled at six o'clock, the hour for the
wedding, and at about $50 word was
brought that the groom had suicided.
Mr.. Rogess was q young man % years
of age, who three years ago inherited
$4,000 from his father. During this
time the young man had spent LOT
this amount but SIS, and was perhaps
discouraged. However, he has never
shown signs of being depressed.

DEATH LIST GROWS.
1t Vow Seems Certain That One Hun

I'm Elkhorn Valley Flood.

Williamson, w. Va, June 26.-One
hundred lives, it now seems certain,
were lost in Sundays cloudburst in
the Pocahontas valley. Of these Key
stone and Vivian furnished the great
est number. Authentic information,
the first of its kind, was received
from the devastated section yester-
day, and besides increasing the list
of dead it threw light upon another
point. It is now known that ma
jority of the victims were women or
children caught in their cabins, the
husbands and fathers as rule being
at work in the mines.
Judge E. S. Doolittle, of Hurting
ton, left Vivian Sunday morning and
arrived here yesterday, after per-
ilous journey. He says the scene of
devastation is appalling. He calls it
a tidal wave from cloudburst, which
swept everything before it. In the
track of it's course everything is
gone, including coke ovens and pill
lars of stone.

THE INDEMNITY QUESTION.
Ministers ut Picking Divided over
Minor Points = England Won't
Agree to Increased Tariff.

Peking, June 2s.-The foreign min
listers at Thursdays meeting only dis
cussed minor points of the indemnity
question.
The British minister, Sir Ernest Sa-
tow, refuses to agree to ten per cent.
increase in the tariff in the event that
China finds herself unable to meet her
payments.
The Russian minister, M. de Giers,
has not yet agreed that the interest
on the indemnity is to be four per cent.
The United States special represent
alive, Mr.. Rockhill, thinks there should
be little further delay.
When these points are settled the
work of the ministers will be practic-
ally completed.
Rev. Arthur Smith, the missionary
and author, preaching at ,Tientsin on
the anniversary of the relief of that
city (June 24), said he thoroughly
agreed with Sir Robert Hart in the
statement that unless there was q
complete regeneration of China in q
few years the country would be men
aced by 100000 Boxers. The Chi
.nese would never forget that the Boxer
movement was fully approved by the
court.
