RELIANCE LAUNCHED TODAY.
The Defender Of Americas Cup Is
Beauty.

Bristol, r. l., April 10.-There will be
launched just before sunset, tomorrow,
from the IIerreshoff works in this city.
q 80 foot composite fin keel sloop yacht,
which a syndicate of six prominent
yachtsmen of the New York Yacht Club
have had constructed for the defense of
the Americas cup against Sir Thomas
Lipton's third challenger. AS the yacht
moves slowly down the ways. Miss
Nora Iselin, the daughter of Mr.. q.
Oliver Iselin, the managing owner, Will
with the customary ceremonies name
her the Reliance" and it is a safe as
sertiOn that the entire membership of
the club is convinced that she will keep
intact the successful record of the past
So years against more than a dozen at
tempts on the part of British yachts
men to regain the blue ribbon of the
seas.
The Reliance is the sixth yacht which
the Herreshoffs have constructed for
the defense of the Americas cup. Three
of their productions, the Vigilant, De-
fender and the Columbia have defeated
the British challengers, while the Co
lonia and the Constitution, did not
prove III lIle lIyluS OUT pTOCGSS SuHi-
GENTLY reliable to warrant their selec-
tiCn for the honor.
The Reliance will also be tested, and
tested as never a cup aspirant was be-
fore, for the owner of the Columbia.
Jealous of her magnificent record of
two successful defences of the cup, will
again be in the field, while Mr.. August
Belmont, who controls the Constitution,
is particularly keen to retrieve the hon.
or lost to the Columbia two years ago.
When fully rugged the Reliance will
be able to spread over $4,000 square feet
Of canvas, which is the largest amount
ever hoisted by any racing 90-foot
sloop. She was designed by N. G.
Herreshoff and has been constructed
under his personal supervision.
The scene about the boat shops dur
ing the day was a busy one. A great
many men were hard at work on the
spar and fittings of the craft, while
other gangs were engaged in arrang-
ing the cradle and the machinery which
are to be put into service tomorrow.

FATAL SPREES.
Two Men in Pressure Isle Go
on Wild Racket.
They Drank Hard All Day and Then
Ended All.
William Currier and Leslie Brown
Names of Victims.

Portland. Me-, April 1O.-A dispatch
to the Press from Pressure Isle says:
In Pressure Isle, today, VIM. Currier
and Leslie Brown went on wild spree,
which ended fatally for both. After
several hours of heavy drinking both
became ugly and roamed through the
town looking for trouble.
Brown finally went into a saloon,
where he remained a short time, while
Currier entered a meat market and be-
gan to make trouble. Upon being Or
dered out of the shop he refused and
struck the man in cfiayge-ir the face.
The latter returned the blow and threw
Currier into the street where he fell
insensibe. 1t was later found that
the butcher had struck Currier with
such force as to break his jaw in sew
eral places and that conclusion of the
brain had resulted. The doctors say
that Currier cannot live.
Meanwhile, Brown came out of the
saloon and started home but he was so
drunk that two men assisted him to
mis- home upon reaching which he fell
dead at the door. An inquest has been
ordered in Browns case, but no arrests
have been made.
Brown is supposed to have died from
alcoholism or from the effects of a blow
received during the day.

STILL ON TRIAL.
Clerk Fitzpatrick Charged With Alter
ing Civil Service Examinations.

New York, April 1O.-The trial of
Charles j. Fitzpatrick, charged with
altering the records of the civil service
bureau, was resumed, today. The
specific case against Fitzpatrick, who
was clerk in the civil service bureau.
is that of Gerhatt Wyckoff, who in
February, 1898. made an application for
appointment to the fire department. 1t
is charged that Fitzpatrick, with a
man named Martin Whalen was in a
scheme to secure money from appli-
cants for appointments to both the fire
and police department and that they
secured about $500 from Wyckoff. When
Wyckoff whose application had been on
file for more than year, was called to
attend the physical examination, it Is
charged he was suffering from an af-
lection of the eyes, but Fitzpatrick had
instructed him in the questions to be
asked and when Wyckoff was told to
read certain things he knew what was
on the blackboard before him and
could read the words, although not able
to see them. 1t is also charged that the
applicants percentage was raised from
20 to 70 or nine numbers ahead of what
it should have been.
Fitzpatrick, in his own behalf, today,
absolutely denied that he had changed
the ratings in the case of Wyckoff.
After six hours of deliberation the
jury returned a verdict finding Fitz-
patrick guilty of the charges of alter
ing the records of the civil service
bureau. He was remanded to the
Tombs for sentence, which probably
will be pronounced on Tuesday.

authoritative information on the sub
