SWEDES ARE READY
WILL CHALLENGE FOR THE AMER
 ICA'S CUP.
Nearly All of Money Needed For Enter prise Has Been Hafsed--Wil
 Build Ninetys
 FoOteP.

Stockholm Sweden. Oct i4-William ollsen and Goesta Kylhberger, who are at the head of the movement here to build a challenger for the AInerica's cup. say that a large portion of the money requird to construct and sail a sO-footer. estimated at about s1Ss.OO has already been subscribed.
 Many large manufacturers have aI- ready agreed to furnish material grat. is and the captain and three mates of the yacht will sail her without any pay. The designer will accept no compensa- ton for hls work, and the builders, only will charge ,khe net cost of the con- struction. Messra. Ollsen and Kyhl- berger think they will be able to guarantee funds even for S5-footer if recuired.
 The report that the Swedish club in- tends challenging with either 70 or 96-footer in order to compel the New York Yacht Club to build a new de- fender, has no foundation. The Swed- ish yachtsmen are prepared to ehal- Ienge with a s0-footer and all reports to the contrary are sharply denounced in the Swedish papers.
 A meeting os the Royal Swedish Yacht Club has been called for Octo- Der 21. when an important announce raent is expected -

Philadelphia, Oct, 14s--Miss Annie Sabold, aged thirty-one. of Lansdale, a suburb. was shot and believed to be fatally wounded under sensational circumstances tonight in the crowded department store district of the city, by Walter Hallowell, of Betayres, Penn.
 Miss Sabold, who is a stenographer, had left her place of employment in company with two young women and was hurrying homeward with the throngs of shoppers when she was at- tackled. Hallowell endeavored to seize the purse of one of the girls. Failing in this he drew a revolver and fired two shots, one of which struck Miss sabold in the side. penetrating the abdomen.
 Policemen came to the rescue of the girls and were compelled to beat Hal lowell severely before they could dis arm him.

It is said that the an- nouncement of the young woman's en. gagement was to have been made shorely.
