Tammany was doubtless guilty
of irregularities during the
elections, Ibut investigation will
doubtless show that the Hearst
followers are tarred by the same
stick. Hearst is not likely to get
the Mayors office, but he may
play the role of martyr before his
followers.

was only by chance that we caught her

was ornamented with punches Of

Ed Church and H. Peck experienced
runaway last Wednesday that they will
not soon forget. They were going to
the country for load of fodder for
Tapscott & Lampkins, liverymen, driv-
ing one of the livery teams. One of the
horses was the one the liverymen pur-
chased from j. B. Hatcher, the one so
afraid of automobiles. The boys were
about to meet j. T. Silver and his ma
chine, he being three-fourths of block
north of the E. B. Teale. residence, and
they turned east at the E. B. Teale cor
ner to avoid an automobile. After turn
ing, one of the horses became frighten-
ed and lunged forward, breaking a clevis
pin. At that the team was thoroughly
frightened and became manageable.
After running about three-fourths of a
block the tongue Of the wagon came
down and run into the ground, turning
every thing bottom side up. Messrs.
church and Peck were tumbled about in
a frightful manner, Mr.. Peck being in
jured about the head was insensible for
several hours after the accident. One
Of the horses was thrown, falling against
tree in such manner as to break it's
back. The horse, valuable one, the
favorite Of the firm, died the next day.
The men have recovered from all marks
and injuries of the accident, but they do
not care to experience a similar one
soon.-Lamoni Chronicle.

missed bY Faculty


jackson, Miss, May 17.-Eight mem
bers of the senior or graduating class
at the University of mississippi, have
been expelled by the faculty, for al
legged participation in the Greek letter
fraternity troubles at the institution.
Three of the students reached Jack
son from Oxford this morning to de-
mand special meeting of the board
of trustees for an investigation of the
after.
1t is probable that tne meeting will
be called after Governor Vardaman
returns to the city tomorrow.
The faculty recently expelled all the
Greek letter ffaternites and afterwards
re-instated them. Further probing OF
the alleged solicitation of members
among the freshmen followed, and as
a result the eight students were ex-
PEELED. All belong to some of the most
prominent families in the state, among
the number being Lucius Mayes, son
of Judge Edward Mayes, of this city,
former chancellor of the university.
The expelled students are anxious to
secure the special meeting of the trus-
tees Immediately in order to be rein
stated before the June commencement
exercises.

Boats Leave New York Harbor
In Good Condition.
RACERS MAKE A GOOD START

While the Foreigners Boats Seemed
To Ee Good Crafts, the Americans
Are Picked to Win the Prize Offered
by Emperor William.
New York, May 17.-WeatheF condi-
tions early today were much more IA
vorable for a start of the yachts in
the transatlantic race than on yester-
day. Just before s O'Clock the wind
was blowing knots an hour from the
northwest, the sky was cloudy and the
air clear. At that time it Wos possi-
BILE to observe objects ten miles away.
The Sandy Hook lightship could be
plainly seen from the, Highlands Of
Navesink
The tnick blanket of Iog which made
maneuvering about the starting point,
Sandy Hook lightship, SO hazardous
yesterday that the committee in charge
of the event. postponed it, disappeared
during the night. The northwcster
had subsidized to an S-hnot breeze.
The weather, however, still remain
ed cloudy and sullen as if loathe to let
the yachts leave these shores without
sort of preliminary tusSle with a reg
ular north Atlantic storm.
When the committee postponed yes
terday's race it was planned to start
the event today as soon as possible
with the preparatory gun at noon.
Preparations to carry out this pro-
gram were begun early, the committee
tug reaching Sandy Hook at $3.50,
three and a half hours before the
event was scheduled to start
The tug at once started on tour
among the yachts of the fleet. 1t
seemed almost certain at that time
that there would be no postponement
today.
The only vessel missing in the feet
in Sandy Hook bay at o'clock was
Lord Brasey's Sunbeam. The other
ten were anchored there waiting the
arrival of the steam craft to tow them
to the start.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the commit
tee in charge of the race hoisted the
signal Get ready for sea-" and the
American yachts began leaving. the
bay. The first one to follow the Val
halla and the Sunbeam out to the start
was Commodore Tod's White Thistle
closely followed by the yawl Ailsa
Tugs were alongside of several other
boats. BY 1910 O'Clock the entire
fleet was away to starting line at San
dy Hook lightship.
The Fleur de Lys was the only boat
that did not have the services Of a
tug. The weather began to thicken
up again and it looked as if there
might be return of yesterdays fog
Observance from shore was cut down
to a matter of six or eight miles. The
wind held true and still blew about
seven knots.
At IL O'Clock because OF the fog
the lightship from which the start
was to be made could not be seen from
shore.
