JUMPS TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
Major Stephen voinea Has Marrow
Escape.

Eldora, August 22-Three young
lads escaped from the Iowa industrial
school and Major Stephen Voinea, one
of the officers of the institution, dis
covered too late that they had taken
his bicycle with them and started to
ward Steamboat Rock, six miles north
of Eldora, in pursuit of them. UpoI
his arrival at the village he attempted
to cross the long railroad bridge which
crosses the Iowa river just after the
station is passed. Being about hall
way across the bridge he observed q
train approaching, and for a moment
was thunder struck, so to speak, as tc
what to do. He did not have time to
reach either end of the bridge, which
is on high piles and nearly quarter
of a mile in length. The water was
about twenty feet below him, there
were no sidewalks or even planks on
either side, and In order to save his
life, for 1t was dark and the train was
close onto him, he coolly let himself
down under the cross bars and drop
ped to the water twenty feet below
Fortunately the water was rather shall
low and by swimming, wading and
feeling around in the cold water for a
few moments he reached the shore
and saved his life. He then proceed
ed upon his search for the runaway
boys unmolested save being Obliged
to travel in wet suit Of clothes, and
reached Ackley in time to return on
late train.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. PA tray of

There were eighty-one rings in the
tray. AS is the custom they were

Is a severe one. The deceased was
born in Pennsylvania and at his death

the rebellion, serving through the
war and then coming to Fairfield,
where he embarked in the grocery

NEW ELECTRIC LINES.
Work Commenced On One Road and
Several Others Planned.

Davenport, Aug 22.-The commence
ment of work yesterday on the Iowa
and Illinois interurban line, to run
from the city of Clinton, according to
the present declarations of its build
ers, makes three interurban lines now
in process of construction here. Two
OF them propose to link this city with
Clinton, while the other will join Dav-
export to Muscatine and points be-
yond. Another road is projected from
Iowa City, and another from Cedar
Rapids. In fact, good authority esti-
mates that it would take $50, 100000 to
build the interurban lines that have
been incorporated and surveyed in and
out of the three cities of Davenport
and Rock Island and Moline, ILL.,,
which form practically one center. AS
a skeptic puts it. the query in eastern
financial circles is no longer, How is
the Iowa corn crop?" but How is the
Iowa interurban CROP" If Davenport
gets only few of the projected lines,
she will have plenty. The Iowa and
Illinois, commenced yesterday, was
promoted by Thomas J. Wilcox of Des
Moines. and has the best prospects of
any of them.

almost no care from the time they

sums of money limited only to the

Upton Still Hoping for the Sue
cess of His Boat.

New York, August 23.-In splendid
IL to Is knot breeze, over a wind
ward and leeward course of 80 miles
the gallant sloop Reliance Saturday
beat Shamrock III in a commanding
style by exactly nine minutes actual
tine, or seven minutes and three sec
onds after deducting the one minute
and fifty-seven seconds which the
defender comedies to Sir Thomas
Tipton's third challenger on account
Of Reliance's larger sail plan as at
present measured. 1t was a royal
water fight for the ancient trophy
which carries with it the yachting
supremacy of the world, and by a
strange coincidence, the first victory
in the cup series of 1903 occurred
on ,ne fifty-second anniversary of the
day on which the old schooner
America captured 1t for her famous
race around the Isle of Wight. Reli.
ance beat the British boat three min
utes and twenty-four seconds in the
thresh to windward and FIVE minutes
and thirty-six seconds in the run
down the wind.
The nautical sharps, who had al.
ready made up their minds on Thurs.
day that the Reliance could talse the
measure of the challenger in any
kind of weather. regard Saturdays
test as conclusive, although they
hardly anticipated SO overwhelming
a victory. The race even dampened
the ardor of Sir Thomas who insis-
ted, after Thursdays fiuke, that his
confidence in the beautiful craft de.
signed by Fife was greater than ever.
SILL like true sportsman he does
not acknowledge defeat, and hopes for
better luck next time. The single
criticism he and his friends make of
Saturdays race is that the only shift
of the wind which occurred was to
the advantage of the defender. AS
this shift of wind occurred on the
windward beat, even granting that
1t accounted for the Reliance's lead
at the turn, the time the defender
gained on the run home was more
than ample to have given her the
race. II must be conceded, however,
that Shamrock Ill showed herself a
wonderful boat in beating to the wind.
ward, perhaps the ablest craft in this
respect ever sent across the ocean
on a cup hunting expedition. For
twelve miles the great single stick
ers raced like team of horses and
during that portion of the duel the
patriots made no attempt to conceal
their nervousness.
The size Of the enormous excur-
sion fleet and number of sightseers
aboard, in the estimation of those
who have witnessed many contests,

cup race.
