ACROSS THE STARTING LINE. For once the race was to start on ti Minute by minnte steamers Were slipping out of the mist, when a puff of smoke at the Electra’s side, a re- port and the shaking folds of the “Blue Peter” at tue masthead announced that the race was ten minutes off. The Thistle was running free away from the starting line, then jibed as only one of ‘these long booms can Swing With the sheets smok- ing Iu the Diock and came over on ashort board. | ‘The Volunteer shot down from above on the port tack and came up inthe wind. For an instant both hung bows to the wind, every sail shaking, Tae long barrow bulls rising and ialling, motion- less like racers neld for the word. Many a vessel seems like a thing of life, but these long, narrow, supple, catlike craft, with their yards and yards of gray canvas, and whose 90 feet of huil answer Yo the rudder like a shell, live in every motion. An Instant more, a moment when sharp practice Seems hear at’ hand, and both craft lay for the | wind om a starboard tack; Capt.

The drifting procession of steamers spread out over the open sea in converging lines rushing toward the fluttering flag which marked off half of the course. ‘The weather had lifted and moderated, and both vessels sent up their club topsails, mining them flat on the windward side without taxing down the small topsatis already in place. ‘The wind was still stiff enough to make it impossible to hold the big topsatis up to thelr work, and both shook from the time they were put up until the two yuchts began to run before the wind. ‘The desolate sea about the stakeboat grew thick with great steamers. ‘Two sea-golng craft, the Olivette and Guyandotte; three white iron steamboats, Sirius, Cetus, and Cygnus; the Shrewsbury, St. Jobn, Crystal Wave, and City of Brookiyn, halt a dozen tugs, and a sparse array of steam yachts; the Scotch Mohican, with a very quiet party on board today; the ‘Alexandra, a Canadian Yaeht,with a group of tall young women, who waved their saflor caps at every salute from the rest of the fleet, and the Tillie, Hinda, Rest less, Magnolia, Vision, Corsair, Ibis 6f Boston, and afew more were there. The’ big boats grouped themselves about the Haviland and the Electra, mmodore Gerry's flagship, with the New York Yacht Club cominittee on board. TRE START HOMEWARD. The qull light, the hanging clouds, and fne driv- ing rain robbed the scene of its interest as a spec- tacle, and the Volunteer’s long lead of over 2 miles left little spring to the race. Two short tacks and the Volunteer ran across the wind behind thestake- boat and fell _off before the breeze for the run home. ‘The Volunteer’s crew has been notoriously slow in handling its. sptanaker, and it was fortu- ate that to-day In its long leat minutes did not count, for three or four were wasted in setting a Sail Which should be drawing in thirty seconds or 50. The boom Was out at list, and then the safl broke out Uke a cloud of smoke, round, smooth, Dut gotng like a great cloud spread near the hort zon, lying yellow tu the fading light. ‘The balloon- Jib-topsail was broken out ai the same time, and the Volunteer started homeward, tne three énor- mous Salls—matusail, Dballoon-j1b, and spin- naker—making a great funnel of canvas, whose breadth Was nigh thrice the width of Chestaut street, and whose height would stand high among the cllureh steeples of the city, ‘The Thistie needed three tacks to make the stakepoat, losing again by the “pinching” as the cutter was squeezed past the Haviland, barely masing the turn. The Volunteer turned at 2:26:403 and the Thistle at 2:41—a difference of 14:49. ina reach of 2 ‘This 13 a tremendous beating for one boat to give anotuer; above all, when one enters the list as the Thistle did, under’ the broad belief of the public and private’ conviction of the owners that she was, by heavy odds, the better ste | voat. THISTLE'S SLIGHT GAIN. Twice in her Engifsh races the Thistle has changed victory Into defeat. She did very like this to-day. Her elapsed time on the homeward run Was 1:54:12, and that of the Volunteer 0634, So that. the Volunteer beat her only by ‘son this run. Several minutes were lost by Volunteer in the delay over her spinnaker, and ‘antage of feeling first a squall, which crept up behind the two boats. Nor is there a question that the Volunteer loses by being a boat poorly finished, her plates and rivets leaving many a roush place’on her skin. Without allowing for these, she remains the swiftest boat, even running before the wind, but not as much quicker as on windward work. ‘The shifting wind to the south made the sptnna- ker of doubtful advantage in the last halt of this and frst the Thistle and later tne Volunteer th | took it in and finished under matn-safl and bal- loon-jib, which was all the vessels could hold and steer easily and keep full sails. ‘THE VOLUNTEER AGAIN WINS. Night was fast coming on as the two vessels neared the end. A lead of 12m. 54s, the actual Jead with which the Volunteer closed, isa long one measured in a stern chase. It meant that the waite aud swelling cone ef sail which the Taistle | turned to her antagonist was a dim and distant Uhlug when the Volunteer came sweeping down to the lightship, her great masses of canvas swelling like round ivory under the steady breeze and the water foaming around her bows Whistles and eheers were all about as she crossed the line at 4:23.47, the most successful American champion which hag ever defended the cup. Bunting ran w gn ail the feet, Nags were dipped, and the scote ensign on the tug chartered by the Caledonion Club Was set at half-mast. ‘THE BEATEN BOAT COMES IN. At 4:35.12 the Thistle crossed the line with the kindly enthusiasm and acclaim of which an Amer- ican crowd is never chary. Watching the broad gap, 1t was hard to belleve that another struggle could come tn years, but Mr. Chas. Williams, the London correspondent, says to-night that Mr. Waite, the Cowes yacht builder, 1s anxious to try his hahd next year. The Thistle 1s understood to be for sale, She cost about $30,000, and 13 not likely to bring a third of the amount, if she can obtain that price. Vessels like the ‘Thistle and Volunteer require enormous crews, and they are the most expeusive that float to keep in commis. sion, NOBLY AND FAIRLY BEATEN. Onboard the Royal Clyde Flagsiip Mohican, which accompanied the racers, were Commodore Carruthers, of the Kingston Yacht Club; Sir Lionel West, British minister to the United States; Capt. ‘Tinson, Mr. William Clark, of Newark, and Mrs. Beil, of the Thistle, Allon board soon guve up hopé except Mrs. Bell. From the first her conti dence in the ability of the Thistle to win was of the frmest. “Never mind,” she sald: “It 1s at knowiedged that the Thistle is weaker than th Volunteer salitug in the wind, but I hope she make it up on the run home.” “There's no ques- tion Which 1s the better boat,” sald Mr. Robert Clark, “I was not satisfied Tuesday, but I aun to- day. This ts a ace and We are fairly beaten.” ‘Bell said subsequently: “Of course L am sadiy appotnted at the result, but_ the Volunteer has certainly beaten us uobly and fairly. After all it must be the ard Which has done it.” “The Volunteer is treating the Thistle just as the Thistle Ureated the Irex,” sald Capt. Tinson, as the Volunteer rounded the stake-boat, “It has been a Mne race and spiendidiy sailed.

From the Chicago Herald, Among the visitors to the county jail to see the anarchists yesterday afternoon was one of the young ladies who 1s now paying marked attention to Lingg. He has two sweethearts, the boys around the Jail say. One is known as his best girl, and the other hie second best. It was the latter who called yes‘erday, Both have taken great pains to keep their naines out of the papers, and the reporters have so far gratifled tueir wishes, but as the love-making appears to have become serious this state of things cannot much longer continue. “The “second best” 1s a good-looking brunette of about twenty, a German lass, Who can speak but few words of English. She is a favorite with the subordinates in Jatler Folz’s office, but Deputy Pierce 18 the only one so far who seems to have ‘won her smiles. She 1s the joliiest caller the an- archists have, and from the time she enters the visitors’ cage ‘until she departs she keeps both Lingg and Fischer laughing heartily. She appears to be gaining ground {n the matter of Lingg’s af fection, and vids fair to rank as “best girl” before long. Her visits are more frequent than those of the tnost favored, and Lingg seems to enjoy them. Lingg 1s in many’ respects good-looking young man, He is ullt, for an athlete, possesses & lively disposition, is brimming over with German Jokes, andenters into the most hearty conversa- Uon With his love-making visitor. So far the two smitten damsels have not chanced to call at the Saine moment, Dut as the visits of both are becom- ing more frequent this crisis must soon occur. ‘Then, the deputies say, there will surely be a col- isfon. ‘The one whois the elder and the most favored by Lingg is modest, sedate, well aressed, very much of & lady and reserved to a fault. ‘The other charmer, his caller of yesterday, who 80 far has been content to gake second place, 18 quite hand. some, dresses plain, but breaks down all sorts of convéntlonal rules’ by her ringing laughter and practical off-hand jokes. ++ _____ Hier Money at Stake. WHY MRS, HUGHES-HALLET MAKES NO MOVE TO WARD A SEPARATION. ‘From the Philsdelphia Press to-day. It wassaid yesterday that friends of Mrs. Hughes- Hallett in thiscity, who were in a position to know had stated that the reason Mrs. Hughes-Halletthad taken no steps toward procuring a separation from her husband, who recently brought reproach upon her name, was that by reason of an unfortu- hate ante-nuptal agreement she would be rei dered penniless andentirely dependent upon his liberality if she moved in that direction, It was said that at the time of her marriage Miss Schaum- berg was induced to settle all her property upon her husband. It was also sald Mrs. Hugh .e3-Hal- lett was keenly disappointed over the Will of her aunt, Miss Emily Page, who dled recently, because all her aunt's property had been left to Colonel Hughes-Hallett instead of to herself. so that practi- cally to-day she was poverty stricken, Alonzo P. Douglas, of 711 Walnut street, » law- yer, Wao has been connected With the manage- Inent of the property in Which Mrs. Hughes-Hal- Jett Is interested in this city, said last evening: “The story has some elements of truth, but only so far as relates to a marriage agreement, There Was ab agreement, but only $25,000 are involved, not her Whole fortune, Colonel Hughes-Hallett, after a custom that iS very usual in England, though not heard of here, caused an ante-nupual agreement to be made with Miss Schaum- berg, under the terms of which he was to receive $25,000 out of her estate if any separa- tion should tuke place, I suppose the colonel realized tuat he Was marrying an American girl, and considered that if she left him he would at least be $25,000 in pocket. I can not tell you what the details of the settlement were, ‘Miss Page left to Col. Hughes-Hallett a legacy of only $5,000, The remainder of her money, amount- ing to about $100,000, went to her niece, The property of her two uncles, worth more than four Umes that sum, she also has, ‘There 1s something more, Major Schaumberg, in 1845 or 1848, at George Washington Page’s suggestion, deeded to the latter $25,000 in trust for uls daughter, whose marriage abroad had strained the rewtions with her father, of which she Was only to have a life interest. Major Schaumberg died shortly after without money enough in cash to bury him, The estate of James Page and his brother consists largely of ground rents, Much of the land belong- ing to it in the neighborhood of Southwark has been sold, reserving these rents.” Another lawyer Said that the marri: agree- ment fs among Mrs, Hughes-Hallett’s private pa- pers in this city.

The New York Sun says: Perhaps the most Prominent pool seller in this vicinity sat with his chin buried deep tn his collar and his hands buried deep in his pockets, moodily considering his losses on the Scotch craft. “New York sporting men,” he said shortly, “deserve the grubbing they got this time, for they were taken in at their own game. The Thistle was run on gamblers’ tactics, and hence the gamblers t .cked her. ‘The owners and backers of the boat brought over money with them, and they worked like beavers to piace it. ‘They'refused absolutely to give any facts about their boat, maintained an intense mystery about her time and measurements, and worked through- out as though they had acinch. This caught the fancy of the and they pit ‘They have een scorched, and it serves ‘them right for going back on their country. I was with them, but feel ashamed of myself just the same.” ‘A deep silence followed this confession, and then the gambler smote the table violently with his fist and said in stentorian tone: “The fact of the matter is that we can beat anything English, no eae itis a sailboat, a race horse, prize 5 undred-yards run, jum| low’ iso in creation.

A shooting affray occurred at Port Orange, Fla., Detween twomen, which resulted in the death of one and the fatal wounding of the other. For some time John Evans has been paying attention to the wife of his victim, Elijah Ball. Mutual feeling which existed from their first meeting steadily grew into a deep passion; greatly tothe distress and mortification of Ball. He resolved to have an explanation trom Evans. To this end a double barreled shot gun was procured, and Elljan started tn pursuit of the. man’ who Tobbed him of his wife and subsequently of hislife, Finding Evans somewhere south of Port Orange, an explanation was demanded, to which Evans re- plied that his (Ball’s) wife sald’ that she loved her paramour better than her husband, ‘The outraged jusband then fired and seriously wounded Evans in the back of the neck, the latter having previ- ously taken to his legs. At this juncture the Wounded man whipped out a huge revolver and fired with fatal effect upon his assailant. The ball, striking in the leg, severed an artery, from. which Ball soon bled to death. His last words were in praise of his wife and in condemnation of his slayer. He leaves three children. Evans is ving in a critical condition with a neck full of 01 Spies and His Nina, MRS, VAN ZANDT TELLS HOW HER DAUGHTER GOT ACQUAINTED WITH THE ANARCHIST. Mrs, Van Zandt, the mother of Nina Van Zandt, the young girl who was married by proxy to Anarchist Spies, arrived in Pittsburg from Chicago yesterday Morning, on a visit to her sister, Mrs, Arthurs, and her aged father, Mr. Clark. Mra, Van Zandt had written her relatives that she was coming, but no one met her at the depot, and she was compelled to go to her sister's resiaenice alone. In an interview Mrs. Van Zandt stated that the anarchists still have hopes of receiving their free- ‘dom on being granted a reprieve. “But,” said she, “they are in the hands of such merciless people tat nothing that happens in the ruvure will sur- prise me,” “Will Miss Nina leave Chicago and also come to her Pittsburg relatives?” 0. An army of soldiers could not force Nina to leave Chicago now. She will remain there with Mr. Spies until the last if the worst comes, At least sucn ‘s now her firm determination.” “Has the truth been published as to how Miss Nina came to marry Splese” “No, Its not true that she first met him in the jail. Mr. epee is one of the brightest and most intellectual men of his day. He 1s a gentleman, Nina was acquainted with him ons before the an- archists were arrested, They would probably have been married but Mr. Spies was too poor. He had @ mother to support. Nina, perhaps, would not have married him when she did, but she was in- formed that the new sheriff would not allow her to see him, and she finally concluded to be wedded, and then have the right to be admitted to the jail. It may, perhaps, have been an unwise step, but then, after all, I can’t say 1t was.” A reporter called at Mrs. Arthurs’ house a short time later and asked to see Mrs, Arthurs, When she appeared at the door she seemed vexed at something, In response to the query, “Has Mrs. Van Zandt arrived?” she said: “Yes; she has been here about five minutes. I don’t see what she came here tor, Idon’t want her. There has been too much printed about this matter. My friends tell me they are sick and tired of seeing it in the eee “It 1s reported that Mrs, Van Zandt's mission ts to ask you to again grant her daughter an allow- ance and aid fn an endeavor to secure her hus- band’s liberty.” “allowance? She never recetved an allowance,” said Mrs. Arthurs, sharply. “I clothed and edu- cated her daughter and thatis all. Her husband? Why, he isnot her husband.” Mrs, Arthurs re- fused to say anytuing more. ie A Pension Swindler Captured, AT HIS OLD TRICKS AGAIN WHEN THE AUTHORITIES THOUGHT BIM DEAD, A telegram to the N, Y. Herald trom Cleveland, Ohio, September 30, says: A bold and successful case of fraud in drawing pensions has been brought to light by the United States authorities, Gen. Black, Commissioner of Pensions at Wash- ington, has been engaged for several months in examining the rolls of pension agencies, and in his investigation he discovered that ‘there were a great number of widow pensioners residing 10 ‘Toronto, Canada, ‘The number was so large as to excite his suspiciol and he sent for the papers in ‘the claims, He seen ently learned that James H. McGind- ley, alias J. H. Martin, alias H. B. Mason, was the attorney in all these cases, The former residence of these widow pensioners had been Quincy, TL, but for some unaccountable reason they hud ail moved to Canada, When General Black made these discoveries he agnsulted General Witliam McE. Dye, chief of the special examination division of the Pension Bureau, and the matter was placed in the hands of a special examiner, and, it is claimed, with the result of ae that fraudu- lent vouichers had been made out by McGindley, Who has succeeded, 1 1s alleged. in cheating thé government out of over $15,000 by his scheming. McGindley has resided here for some time and ‘Was arrested to-da} He was given a hearing be- fore United states Commissioner Williams this af- ternoon, and was bound over to the United States District Court. Eighteen years ago this man was arrested in Macon City, Mo., on a similar charge, but he was not convicted. He was next heard from in New Orleans, and the United States pension ex- aminers were after him there. It was repo! however, that he had died of yellow fever.

At the time he went to prison Baxter was but nineteen. He is wanted at Detroit for murder. Lewts, who was an old offender, died in prison, and Baxter has made several futile attempts ‘to secure a pardon. ‘Toa well-known detective he wrote several letters re- questing his assistance, In one of these letters he wrote: “My folks are toget me out,and if you help them I will put two or three cases in your hands that will mé you famous.” Baxter is well educated, but has a remarkable criminal record for one 80 young.
