sHAMRocK'S TRIAL.

Few Yacht Beats Sistpn Shamrock by
Four MinEteg.
NEW YORK, July 9.-Over a lee
ward and windward course of thirty
miles starting at Sandy Hook light
ship in rattling breeze Shamrock III.
beat Shamrock l. only Am. 9s., official
time. If the figures told the whole
story the cup might be safe, but they
are deceptive. 1t is apparent that De-
signer Fife and Sir Thomas Upton are
experimenting with the new boat and
that changes are made daily in her bal
last and trim to discover the effect
upon her speed. In windward work she
simply outclassed her trial horse. She
covered the fifteen miles to windward
only 2m. Sos faster than Shamrock l.
Her ballast had been removed aft, with
the result that she could not point so
high, though it did not affect her foot
ing ability.
The cup hunter will race no more
this week Her bottom is foul, and she
will be taken into dry dock at Erie
basin and her underbody cleaned and
Tepdlnleu.
A ten knot westerly wind and a
smooth sea furnished splendid condi-
tions for the race. The two yachts
made a beautiful spectacle as, with
spiRnakers set they crossed the start
ing line side by side.
The wind held fresh and true beat
ing back to the finish line, and Sham
rock III. covered the fifteen miles in
one second less than two hours. She
did no better at pointing than did
Shamrock l. A falling wind at the fin
ish increased her advantage.
Only once in a cup race has Columbia
covered the New York club course
faster than Shamrock III. did, and Co
lumbias fast time was in race having
but ten miles of windward work.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Judge Parker, of New York, is
steadily growing in favor with the

1t has been found that an act of the
Legislature prevents the loan of a
flag, now stored at the State House,
to California for purposes of exhibit

GRAND JURY FINDS
NO INDICTMENTS.
Considered the FreehOIder's Mat
ter Will Meet Again Next
Week Probably.

AS was told in the News Yesterday,
the grand jury took up the investiga
tion of the action of the Board OF
Fieeholders in relation to road mat.
ters. 1t is believed that the investi.
CATION is confined to the matter OF
the cutting down of the big hill at
the Landing last year.
When State Road Commissioner
Budd appeared before the Board OF
Freeholders last September in regard
to the payment of bill OF Van Deusen
& Oliver for work on the Landing
road, which had been held up by
Supervisor Howley, he declared that
the Board had practically made gift
of So, 900 to the contractors. The
Freeholders had, without advertising
for bids, given a contract to Van
Deusen g. Oliver for the cutting down
of the hill on the road for 81, 0c0 Mr..
Budd declared that he would do the
work for 81, 900.
The Commissioner said that the
board had paid for the work at the
rate of 50 per cubic yard, the price
paid for the excavating of solid rock
He held that this hill was only shaIe
which erumbled when exposed to the
air, and that 25 or 80 cents per cubic
yard woald have been a good price
for it.
The members of the Sayreville
Township Committee, Messrs. August
Rhode, Henry Arleth and William
Burke went before the grand jury ana
complained against the condition of
the trolley tracks in that township
They claim that the tracks are raised
from three inches to two feet above
the level of the road and that they
make traffic dangerous. Josiah Tice
and Photographer Monaghan were
also witnesses in the matter.
After hearing all the witnesses in
the several cases the grand jury ad-
journed this morning, having found
no indictments.

Perth Amboy is soon to have as good
supply of water as can be found

are a great success and are a decided
addition. A short time ago the press
of the entire State was commenting
on the excellent report of the Water
Department of this city, which show
ed net income for the city aside from
being self supporting AS soon as the
new main is completed there is little
left to do but build the storage reser-

water supply surpassed by none of
it's size in the State.

One of the most noticeable things
about the summer thus far is the un-
usual swarms of mosquitoes which
have invaded almost every part of
New Jersey. This, in spite of the
activity on the part of Professor John
B. Smith, the State Entomologist,
and the municipal authorities in diff
erenf parts of the State. Great clouds
of the mosquitoes have attacked troll
lev cars, swarmed into buildings and
caused havoc generally. 1t is possible
that Professor Smiths invasion of the
Newark and Elizabeth meadows as
we'll as the attacks made elsewhere
on the pest, is driving the mosquitoes
out of the usual haunts in large num-
bers and that the first frost this fall
will kill them, while the work being
done in marshes and low lands may
prevent the breeding next year and
we may hear the last of their singing.
1t is to be hoped so, but this does not
afford any relief this summer an6 IL
has only begun.

| tically all the ambassadors and minis
ters in London, the majority of the
members of the royal family, promi-

bet United States Ambassador Choate,
with Secretary White attending, pre-
sented to his majesty the officers of the
American squadron.
To Rear Admiral Cotton the king ex-
pressed his qualification at the visit of
the squadron and inquired il all ar
rangements had been made for the
comfort of the American officers and
sailors. Admiral Cotton replied that he
had fallen among friends and every
care had been taken of himself and the
others. His majesty had a pleasant
word to say to each of the officers pre-
sented. The admiral his captains and
Staff Lieutenant Hussey were then
presented to Queen Alexandra. During
the supper several American officers
were also introduced to the Prince of
Wales, Field Marshal Lord Roberts
and Admiral Lord Charles Beresford.

Refining.

The old abandoned plant of the
Raritan Copper Works at Pawtucket,
Rhode Island, is being demolished.
A gang of laborers are at work tear
ing down the old furnaces, the bottoms
of which are very rich with gold,
silver and copper This is being sent
by freight to the Perth AmbOy plant
where it is refined and made into bars.
The work has now been going on
for several weeks and it may take all
summer. Every piece of metal will
be shipped to this city. Around the
yard of the Pawtucket plant is several
piles of Stag which is said to be very
rich in copper. The officials are
thinking seriously of running this
Stag through the old blast furnace at
Pawtucket, and when it is made into
pig form, to ship it to this city.
To get the Stag together and run it
through the blast furnace into the
pig form and then ship it to Perth

fall After it comes to this city it
will be run through different furnaces
until it reaches the pure metal state.

the horror Of the catastrophe which befeil
the Purdue students this morning. 1 know
of no wreck as terrible as this one. The
horror OF the thing grows upon me as
think OF IL. It is one of those things one
cannot grasp or comprehend until days or
hours after it has happened. What sad
and terrible ending has come of the day
which the Purdue and Indiana University
students planned 10 make such gala occa-
sion. This morning the Indiana students
left Bloomington and the Purdue students
left Lafayette. happy and light hearted, TO
have the biggest holiday of the year in In
dianapolis.
Now some OF the boys from Purdue lie
dead and two score or more lie in hospitals
injured as the result of this terrible acct
dent. 1 can think OF nothing. almost, which
would cause such general CONSERVATION as
this wreck. When we pulled into the Union
Station about II O'Clock this morning on the
special train from Bloomington the hun
dreds of students from Indiana were just
getting ready TO give their 'yels' and to
march down town behind the band. Before
we were off the train news of the wreck
reached us. In a few minutes we began to
hear OF the extent of the wreck and the
loss OF life and pretty soon we knew that
the game was called off and that the day
had been turned into one of sadness instead
of a holiday"

CHARLES II. Lands IN TOWN.
He Expresses His Horror Over Wreck
of the Purdue Special.

'In ten years there has not been such an
awful wreck as that OF the Purdue special
train yesterday morning" said Representa-
tive Charles B. Lands at the Claypool Hotel
last night Mr.. Lands is on his way to
Washington to attend the special session of
Congress.
1.-The magnitude OF this disaster will not
appeal to people until they read the list of
the dead and injured. On this train were
young men from almost every part OIL the
country. The disaster will also show what
a representative institution Purdue Univer-
sity is. An ordinary wreck Is awful
thing. but this wreck Is much worse. When
one stops to contemplate that here were 800
more young men and women held to-
gether by one Of the greatest bonds Of COM
mon fellowship and that more than a dozen
of their number were hurled to instant
death and more than two score MANNED and
injured, then will one begin to realize what
awful disaster this was and how much
worse II was than the ordinary railroad
wreck.
This wreck emphasizes again, and plainly,
the fact that railroads should use every
known appliance and invention and sugges-
ton to prevent such accidents. Here are
these fifteen young men lying dead and
nearly fifty of their comrades injured
some seriously and others only slightly
the result of somebody's carelessness.
There is no use talking, this wreck was
caused by carelessnesS. And railroads
should be made to use every precaution
within reason to prevent such disasters"
