All the time the boats were out it looked squally and for half an hour before the trial was abandoned the boats had a windy thresh against a fifteen knot southerly blow that put their lee rails well down and ironed out the wrinkles in the new sails.
 Before starting off shore Shamrock III had a preliminary spin up the ship channel At 10:45 the Shamrocks left the Hook and were lowed off shore.

Shamrock III got away to leeward of the other, but in twenty minutes passed her and went out across her bow to windward berth. Then she ran down and blanketed the other boat until the latter kept off to clear herself. While they were standing on long leg toward the Jersey shore at noon a shower passed to seaward and the boats smothered their clubtopsails and jib topsails. setting working topsails later. Half an hour later when off Highland Beach a black squall cloud brought up wind that reached fifteen knots and kicked up a lot of whitecaps. The boats laid their lee rails down into the wash and went flying off shore close hauled at an eight knot clip for more than half an hour.

Salem, O., July 14.-Dr. A. c. Yeng- ling, Grand Army department com Inander, and his staff of this city, have inaugurated a movement in this county to change the date of Memorial day from May 30 to later date. Posts of this county and this section are asked to take action long these lines. The reason for desiring a change in the date is due to the manner in which the day is desecrated, in the eyes of the old soldiers, by the holding of sports and other events. Sunday is favored day by the state commander, as he be- lieves that on that day the event can be observed in the manner in which it was originally intended.

setting fire to the house in which the

Strowbridge house was found to be on
fire and the woman was seen TO set fire
to another house across the street in
which her daughter lived and also to
two barns in which were Is head Of
cattle, and three horses.
When a party of men attempted to
break open the barn and release the
animals Mrs. Strowbridge, who was
standing in front of her blazing home,
brandishing a revolver, fired at them
repeatedly. Several men made a rush,
hoping to close with the mad woman,
and disarm her, but she held them at
bay. Then she suddenly cut her throat,
filled a pail of water at the well, thrust
a quantity of hay and straw into it and
placing the whole mass OF her head
rushed into the blaze.

some of the levees are not high enough
to stand the coming rise. All lowlards

tations are flooded. Even if the levees
should hold the damage already incur

remainder. The deer repeatedly escaped
from the lasso by jumping several feet
