Attempted Wrecking of a Train Prevented. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. TROY, Aug. 4—About 9 o'clock last night a pleasure party while going to a dance at the lower end of Lake George met with a terrible casualty. The steam yacht Rachel, which is owned by D. W. Sherman, proprietor of the Pearl Point house, Lake George, was conveying twen- ty-mine people up the lake. ‘The Uttle vessel was turned toward the One Hundred Mile Island House and was gliding toward the landing when the pas- sengers were thrown forward by a sudden shock. In the dark the vessel had run upon a sunken pier, and before assistance arrived from the shore it sank with all on board. It was only a few moments after the shock when the yacht careened to one side and went down in eighteen feet of water. The shrieking, struggling passengers bat- tled for life in the darkness. Womea threw up their arms and sank beneath the sur- face, and when brought ashore life had fled. Deeds of heroism were performed by the men. When all in sight had reached the shore it was learned that elght or nine versun: all women, except a youth of nineteen, ha sunk to watery graves. As soon as poxsi- ble an attempt to recover the bodies was made. After strenuous effofts all the bodies were brought to the surface. ‘Those who lost their ives are said to re- side in Troy, Brooklyn, Hoboken, and War- Trensburg.

Regatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron Of the Isle of Wight. LONDON, Aug. 4—The regatta of the royal yacht squadron, of which the Prince of Wales is commodore, took place today. ‘The race for yachts of any rig exceeling forty rating was contested for by Mr. A. D. Clarke's Santanita, Lord Dunraven Valkyrie, Mr. P. Donaldson's Calluna and Mr. Royal Phelps Carroll's Navahoe. The course was the same as that satled over yesterday in the race for the Town prize— that Is, from Cowes, Isle of Wight, to and around the Warner lightship and return. The course was covered twice, mceking the distance sailed fifty miles. A light southwest wind was blowing and occasionally it rained. The Navatoe's mainsail, that was split yesterday, necessi- tating her withdrawal from the race for the Town prize, was repaired and bent on last night, and to all appearances is as good as new. The starting gun was fired at 10 o'clock and the yachts crossed the line as follow: HM.

Before the first round was finished the wind, which had been gradually increasing in strength, was blowing hard and was ac- companied by heavy rain squalls. The Nav- ahoe made two tacks under the land while the other yachts made only one. This sail- ing put her further behind than she would probably have been had she made a single tack. The Satanita and Valkyrie kept close in each others company throughout the race. The private race between the Meteor and Iverna was won by the latter.

INSULTED THE CZAR. 35 Joseph Czechki Causes a Lively Row at a Gathering of Ri CHICAGO, Aug. ated a lively row at a feast held last night in honor of the birthday of the Czar of Russia. The festival was held in the only Greek church in Chicago and fully 300 peo- ple were in attendance. Several addresses were made, and when finally it was proposed to drink the health of the czar, Czechki broke loose. He made a vehement speech denouncing crowned heads in general, and that of Russia in pur- ticular. He wound up by snatching a por- trait of the czar from the table, throwing it on the floor and stamping on it. A free fight ensued between the admivers of the czar and the admirets of Czechki. ‘The latter finally made his escape by fore- ing his way through the crowd with a dirk knife, inflicting slight cuts on several peo- ple. Six arrests were made, but Czechki ‘was not among them. ————>—_. TAKING A HOPEFUL VIEW. Western Railroad Men Looking for Better Times Next Month.

After Temporary Depression Values im Wall Street Again Advance. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Ang. 4.—The scarcity of, and the existence of @ premium of anywhere from one-half to 2 per cent imposed by the banks on currency practically amounting to the suspen- sion of currency payments for the time, had a depressing effect in the street this morning and led the traders to take a very gloomy view of the immediate future of the stock market. This feeling was inteusified just before the opening by the receipt of dispatches from St. Paul announcing the suspension of the Ger- man American National Bank, the largest financial institution in that city with a capital of €2,000,000 aud the selling noted Inte yester- day afternoon was continued this morning, first prices being from one-half to 244 per cent below last evening's final sales, the wostern specialties leading the decline, ‘There were some further fractional conces- sions, but the arrival of the later cables con- veying information of the engagement of a million and a quarter gold for this port and $300,000 for Boston caused a better fecling in the room. This, coupled with the fact that most of the active list is still in an oversold condition, as shown by the demand in the loan croWd, started a rally, beginning in Sugar and Chicago Ges and extending throughout the whole list, Sugar selling to 74¢ from 69, Chi- cago Gas to 513; from 46,Telgraph to 77% from. 74s, St. Paul to’ 543g from. 61, General Electric to 483¢ from 45, Kock Island to 505 from 86, Burlington to 79 trom 76. While these stocks monopolized the bulk of the trading the rest of the lit sympathized closely on lighter transactions. At the extremo advance the market became dull and the ramor-mongers commenced to get in their work. First, a report was circulated in the board that the Anchor lino steamer Mara~ minia from Naples, arrived last night, had brought the cholera with her; then came reports of further calamity at St. Paul, this latter being confirmed inter by the announce- ment of the suspension of the Germania Na tonal, capital $400,000 and large deposits; the Peopie's Bank, and the West Side banks, two smaller institutions, Then came the annotince- ment of another issue of loan certificates by the clearing house and the stock mer- ket commenced to sag, the seven more active stocks noted above leading the decline. ‘The scare was of short duration, and after short period of dullness at the decline, the Dulis again took the market in hand, and at this hour (2:20 p. m.) the market is strong at the highest prices of the day. ° ‘Money on callla trifle stiffer, ruling at 5 per cent, with a few belated borrowers paying 6.

Cn ‘D. ©, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1893, S7EEEEETIEEEEEEEEENET TERE $Y DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, Improvement in Street Gas Lamps. Capt. Powell, the Engineer Commissioner, who has for some time past been consider- ing the matter of an improvement over the Present form of gas lamp used jn lighting the streets, is of the opinion that he has found the desired article in a heavy spheri- cal glass with a cylindrical base that has Practically no joints at all. It is the same style of lamp that is used Ina number of European cities and in some of our western towns, notably along Drexel avenue in Chi- ago. The new lamp has been put up here in a few cases along the upper part of ith street and seems to give perfect satisfaction. Of course all the present lamps cannot be replaced at once, but as fast as new lamps are needed it is probable that the new form will be substituted. Capt. Powell is also consitering the de- sirability of introducing a new styie post that will hold the lamp out on an arm. In this way the light can be place! out beyond the dense shade of the trees, and in tuis way it is thought that the streets can be much better lighted than they are now. If desied another arm could carry a lamp over the sidewalk. It is probable that the new system will be given a trial in the near future. Commissioner Ross’ Vacation. Commissioner Ross has left the city for a short vacation. After joining Mrs. Ross in Pittsburg he will go to Chicago to see the fair and to be present at the congress of municipal governments next Monday. He will be gone about ten days or two weeks.

In one case the decedent fell from a window while asleep and cholera infantum was the cause of four deaths. A Protest Fitea. FE. Campbell has written to the Com- missioners to protest against the placing of a well or gasometer for the purpose of manufacturing gasoline on premises 424 New Jersey avenue. He thinks it would be dangerous and damaging to the sur- rounding property, and that the offensive smell would be a nuisance and injurious to health. The letter has been referred to the fire marshal of the District. No Hose Reel Available. Last week the trustees of the reform school wrote to the Commissioners to ask if it would be possible to procure from the fire denartment a hose reel larce enough to hold about 200 feet of hose, suffi- cient in size for every requirement of the school. The matter was referred to Chief Parris, who this morning replied that there is no reel In the denartment except those that are In service, all of which are neces- sary for the protection of property. To Amend the Assessment. ‘The Commissioners have ordered that the general assessment of real property hor- dering Brightwood avenue shall be amend- ed according to the lines of the avenue as determined by the recent surve! Gen. Ordway Must Consult. The Commissioners have written to Gen. Ordway that they are advised that bills are incurred chargeable to the appropria- tion for the militia of the District not bas- el on antecedent reauisitions approved by the Commissioners. This, in their opinion, is in disregard of the reaulrement of law that such appropriations shall be expended mnder the authority of the Commissioners. In order that they may not be subtected to eriticiem on the ground of lack of due su- pervision In the exercise of that authority. they have requested that hereafter he will require all requisitions of that kind to be submitted for their action before any ob- Negation ts incurred, A Proposition to Compromine. ‘The Commissioners have received a prop- osition from the attorneys for Samuel Rotts to compromise jn the case of his claim for damnzes for injuries recelved by a fall_on the Fourth of July.

A Chicago Bank Tryin: Draft on a New York NEW YORK, Aug. 4—One of the local financial news agencies printed the follow- ing dispatch received from thelr Chicago correspondent this morning: “The Western National of New York hav- ing refused to pay a draft of the Chicago Trust and Savings Bank, the latter has put the draft in the hands of an express company with imperative orders to collect the money.” President Tolman of the Chicago Trust and Sevings Bank, claims that he could not get $2,000 currency from the Western National Bank. The balance to the credit of the Chicago institution is about $9,000, ‘The position assumed by President Tol- man is considered preposterous by the banks here. The explanation of President Brayton Ives of the Western National Bank follows: “We have not refused to honor the draft except in so far as the refusal is comprised in the following telegram, sent by us to Chicago Trust and Savings Bank: “The general situation here does not warrant a compliance with the reauest contained in your telegrain of this date. Your deposits here are in clearing house funds and we are receiving clearing house certificates in payment of balances.” “This telegram is word for word the same as telegrams sent to the First National Bank of Chicago by the First National Bank here, the Fourth National. Bank, Chase National Bank and the City National nk. “in fact, the action taken by the Western National ‘Bank in this matter has been taken after consultation with the officers of other leading banks of this city, and is quite in harmony with their views and their action in similar cases, “The remittances of Chicago banks to their New York correspondents consist al- most without exception of checks on other banks and very largely on banks outside of New York. Following custom and agree- ment these checks, if they are drawn on banks in cities not far removed from New York, are credited to the Chicago banks’ accounts, althouch in many tnstances the money is not received for them for sev- eral days and sometimes a week; conse- quently.while technically the Chicago banks have money here, as a matter of fact they have to a great'extent only paper credit ndin; the actual collection ‘th pes A ae Postal Card Contract. ‘The contract for furnishing postal cards to the Post Office Department. has been awarded to Calvin C.

Interesting Reports Reosived by Surgeon General Wyman. The Death on Bonrd the Karaminia ‘What Surgeon Young Says of the Progress of the Disease. Surg. Gen. Wyman of the marine hospital Service was in direct telegraphic communi- jon with Health Officer Jenkins at New York early this morning, respecting the An- chor Line steamer Karaminia, which ar- rived at that port yesterday. Dr. Jenkins’ report to Dr. Wyman this morning was to the following effect: “The vessel cleared from Naples on July 35, with 471 passengers, officers and crew sufficient to make a total of 5% persons. All were in good health according to the bill of health. All were vaccinated and their effects were inspected. On the second day out Rosa Buccola died, the surgeou making the autopsy stating the cause death to be congestion of the lungs, and that she was {ll when she came on board. The vessel touched at Gibraltar ‘the 20th, where the consular visa of bill on the of health was granted by the consul, who, after writing in the above statement, said the steamship leaves port in free fratique.

It appears from this statement that the Karamania sailed from Naples four days before Assistant Surgeon Young, who was on the watch there for the marine hos- pital service, got the information that cholera had appeared in the city. The fact that no deaths or pronounced cases have gccurred on the vessc! since the 34 instant is encouraging, but nevertheless every pre- caution will be made by the health officcrs to make sure that the dissase had, dieap- lore the passengers @ baggage will be disinfected by and in every other respect the vesal wil be treated as e deaths on boat uu ally occurred from cholera whether they did or not. In his official mail report to the marine hospital service, under date of July 2, which has just been received, Surgeon G. B. Young gives some interesting informa- tion concerning the outbreak in that city and the movement of the steamship Mas- silia. July 19 he cabled the news of four fatal cases of cholera, widely scattered. Sunday, July 16, a case with choleraic symptoms occurred at Portici, a suburb continuous with the city on the south, and early Monday another. Both were speedily fatal. At about the same time two cases occurred in the “Mercato.” which is one of the poorest ‘wards, the worst, in_the city By © piece of wnamualty gued fortune, Surgeon Young says the result of the bac: teriological examination was communi: cated to him. Comma bacillus was found, the observer being a bacteriologist of dis- tinctio.. The cases no history of contact and were al in the persons of residents. ‘This information reached Dr. Young just as he had completed the preliminary ex- amination of the Massilia, which sailed on July with about 350’ emigrants. This steameF is bound for New York, and her passage will be about eighteen days, so that in the ordinary course of events she ‘will probably reach New York about August 9.

Stealey, correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, on behalf of him- self and other newspaper men, has requested Judge Lochren,pension commissioner, to return to the original practice of publishing daily the office addresses of those to whom pensions have been granted. Some yoars ago the post office addresses of the were omitted, and without the lists in the ' daily bulletin issued by the pension office lost their news value. Mr. Stealey argued that the publica- tion of the addresses of the mers would be the most effective means the bureau could use to secure the detection and exposure of un- worthy pensioners and to prevent corrupt methods by agente and applicants.
