LITTLE YACHT IN 4 HtRRICANE.
Palatlnc DrIVen FROM IIay sIdSo "a
Cape Henry In ~ Hours.

NORFOLK. Va, Sept, l~7.-RuddsrIess, her
main boom broken, part Of her rigging
carried away and the copper all beaten
from her bows. evidenOss Of one Of the
most exciting experiences a yacht has ever
had. .he auxiliary yacht PalatiDe. owned
by c. II. Ledlie, u civil engineer, Of 1t.
L0iis. was lowed into Norfolk this afternoon
by the British steamship LovaIne. Capt.
Daniel.
Aboard tina yacht we're Mr.. and Mrs.
Iedlie. their son and a crew OF five.
The little craft. which is OF hHty-tour
Ions net. left Bay Ridge. New York city.
at IL o'clock noon last Saturday, bound
for Norfolk and a cruise up the Chesapeake
to Baltimore and Annapolis.
All went we'll until a point opposite
Atlantic City was reached. Then a hurri-
cane struck her. Waves broke clear over
the BOAT. As there was no harbor near,
Ledlie's sailing master concluded to run
ahead OF the wind. Even with closely
reefed sails the Palatine made great speed,
reaching Cape Henry In eighteen hours,
at o o'clock Sunday morning.
At Cape Henry an effort was made TO
sail into Chesapeake Bay. but the little
craft was swept on down near to Cape
Hatteras.
At s o'clock. while attempting to bring
the yacht about. a squall Of increased
severity struck her and il was then that
the main boom was broken and the rIdder
carried away. At S o'clock, with distress
signals flying and the storm raging with
undiminished fury. the yacht was sighted
by the Lovaine. Tbs big Britisher steamed
| close to the yacht in a tremendous sea
and got a lire aboard. Capt Daniel says
the yacht was then helpless and would
nave gone to pieoss on the shoals before
night.
Mr.. Ledlie reports that Mrs. TAdlie stood
the ordeal we'll. but none aboard wants
another such experience.

incidents OF Early Morning FIRE Scare In
Atlantic Yacht Clubs House.
An excited young clerk OF the Atlantic
Yacht Club, at the foot Of Poplar street,
Sea Gate, dashed through the main building
and annex early yesterday morning attlred
in little else than a raiDcoat buttoned around
nifty pajamas Of q pinkish hue. He yelled
-Firei' at the top Of his lungs n did such
rood work that within a few minutes the
members Of the club who were living at the
house or staying overnight. some OF them
accompanied by their wives, were out on
the lawns shivering and watching volunteers
help douse the blaze. The FIRE did small
damage, but 1t caused a lot OF trouble and
excitement before IL wa e~xtinguished.
There was q trial race Of % foot yachts
OF the club yesterday afternoon for select
in9 a representative OF the Atlantic Yacht
Clib 10 race against the Orestcs, the cham
MON ~ fo0ter OF Massachusetts, waters.
hherace attracted a big crowd Of member
from town, and q number Of them brou ght
their wives along to enjoy h sport and an
evening at the clubhouse. n second
fNoor OF the main building, according TO the
| custom Of the club, was reserved for married
couples.
noon, and after the races a roaring IRE was
started IN the dig open nIepLdco AZ Jno 1hu
on the main hall. Apparently the iue
hadn't been examined this season. AZ
2lB o'clock yesterday morning +. W.
BurIeiRh OF 81 Wall street, who was with
his wife, woke up and smelled smoke. He
got out Of bed and made an investigation.
| The woodwork around the fiue was atire
and the blaze had a good start. Mr.:
BurIeiRh found a clerk who hustled around
/ and gave the alarm.
There was no panic among the members,
but they lost no time In getting into such
! clothes as they could don hastily and max
ing for the open. Twenty or thirty OF the
Young men OF the club organized a bucket
brigade. Except for a few patent hre
extinRuishers there wasn't much apparatus
except the Atlantic Ocean and buckets.
These served their turn until the COney
Island Are department came galloping up.
II was cold work for the members OF the
club and the ladies', who had to stand and
shiver until the dan ger was over. One
man, a strapping fellow who helped put. out
the blaze, lodged here and there lightly
dressed in striped pajamas and a nackin-
tosh. His exertiOns kept him pretty warm.
Very few Of the member had stopped 20
out on shoes. They had hustled out in
slippers. Altogether, II was a chilly, I'M
comfortable hour before the trouble was
over. The FIRE was confined to the wood
work around the big open fireplace.

The steamship Empress Of China, which

WASHINGTON, Sept. H.-As the result
Of the visit Of Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury Edwards and Supervising
Architect Taylor to New York last week
IL may be decided to inish the corridors
OF the new Custom House with cement
instead Of marble. The contractors on the
interior lnishings asked for an extension
Of time to complete their contract, alleging
that the Alabama q~uarries could not supply
the marble rapidly enough. The Treasury
officials insist that the new Custom House
must be ready for occupancy by July 1,
1907.
Before deciding definitely to discard the
marble fnishings the Treasury Department
determined to send q Treasury agent and
the contractor to Alabama TO see the quarry
owners and learn II IL Is possible to supply
material noon enough to permit the con-
tractors to complete their work within
the limit Of time. Failing in that the ma
terial will be changed.

Judge Joseph B. WAll..of tho Sixth
Judicial Circuit, has recently made =
decision that wilI be OF interest to Sil
liquor dealers within the State Of FLOR
ida. This distinguished jurist holds
that the present law empowering the
boards of county eCznmissioners t.
grant permits to liquor dealers is Nh
constitutional and void for the reason
that It confers judicial powers on the
boards of county commissioners and
that the liquor dealers of Florida in or
der to do business must go back to the
petition system, and that the petitions
must be signed by a majority Of the
registered voters living in the respec-
tive voting districts where the liquors
are to be sold.
Judge Wallis decision covers some
thing more than a column and has con-
illusions are as follows:
1st. THAT sections two and four of
the act are unconstitutional in that
they attempt to confer judicial pow
ers on the board OF coan.y commits
siOners, not authorized b. the Consti-
tuition.
2nd. THAT eliminating those two
sections the act becomy IS imperative
and Intellectual for tho purposes for
which it was enacted, and
3rd. THAT without these restric-
tions and limitations on the power of
the board to grant such permits, the
Legislature would not have enacted the
statute.
1T is, therefore, ordered and adj
judged that the demurrer be sustained
and the alternative writ be quashed.
This is most interesting and impor-
tant decision, and if sustained by the
Supreme Court will make the whiskey
dealers in Florida get busy -Ocala
Banner.
SO even if county should go wet, in
an election each person engaging in the
whiskey business will have to get up
petition signed by majority of the
registered voters of each precinct, and
have said petitions published in anews-
paper in the county, to ha re the county
commissioners grant the permit, and
no precinct voting Or! would allow whis-
key to be sold in it. We do not believe
any person could secure enough signers
in any precinct in Leon county to secure
a permit, and we are sure large ma
jority of Icons citizens would regret
to see open bar rooms here again. Let
ali such get to work now, as some whis-
key people are circulating a petition.

As FLoRlDlans sRE 1T.
The Live Oak Democrat says let Us all
unite to keep Tallahassee dry at any
cost. The Legislature win meet there
in few months and it should be mat
ter Of solicitude ali oyer the State to
save our solons from temptation and
give them an environment that will en-
courage clear heads in the important
work of repeating old laws and making
new ones. The whiskey element is ag-
itating to reintroduce the saloons at the
State Capital, and IL it shall succeed it
will have bad moral effect all over
Florida and operate TO discourage that
splendid conquering reform spirit now
sweeping through the State and driving
the whiskey traffic to It's last stronghold
in the larger cities, For this reason
the renewal Of the issue in Leon coun-
ty becomes a matter of interest outside
that county. The Tallahassee True
Democrat says:
There are parties now circulating a
Thskey petition, with view of task
ing for another wet" and dry" cleo
ton in Leon county. Let every oppo-
merit 70 haWng open barrooms in this
,Ou lty get to work and we can win the
victory, and the easiest and cheapest
way 10 do it is TO defeat the move The
True Democrat will publish the petition
just as soon as IL is put in the posses
sion Of the county commissioners, as IL
trffIl knVz 10 nd oil
would like to read the list of names in
this county who would like to see open
barroOms in Tallahassee and Leon coun-
ty again"
Wonder why it is that there are some
newspapers in Florida that have moth
ing to say in condemnation of the
wretched service certain railroads are
giving the people of Florida? If the
editors Of these papers know anything
at ALL they know that the inefficient
service of these railroads is retarding
the progress and prosperity of the
State more than any other one thing
Are they silent because of their rail-
road passes, or is it that they are con-
trolled by the railroads?-Plant City
Courier.
There is no doubling the fact that
there is room for just such complaint
against the manner in which the rail-
roads of this country are handling
freights, passengers and the mails, but
Florida is not the only State that is
suffering from it, The Atlantic Coast
Line, in Florida, seems to be in worse
condition than any other, and if the
sins that are charged up to it by news
papers, citizens and patrons along its
line are half true-and we do not for
a minute doubt it-some means to
remedy the evils should be arrived at
and the remedy applied in the most
forcible manner.
