It was dead when seen and had apparedjitly been killed by the paddle wheels of a big steamboat. It is be- lieved to be the animal that was seen in Long Island sound recently by Christian Endeavor delegates and others. Here is a description which one of its captors gave of the odd monster: “The animal stretched out on the grass was fully twenty-five fect long and had very much the appearance of a land snake. He had an enormous head and vicious mouth, with two rows of teeth In each jaw. The body was largest in the middle, taper- ing to either erd and covered with mottled black and brown scales. It was at least a foot thick at the largest part, and at two points between the head and tail there were queer fin-like protuberances that gave the beast a real sea serpent appearance. The eyes were large and brown, and the head over the eyes was divided into two bony hillocks. “When drawn out of the water there was a thick rope about three feet long, shredded at the ends and adjusted in a slip-noose, just back of the monster's head. It looked as if the beast had been caught in this noose, but had bitten the rope holding it, and then slowly strangled to death.” “We don't know what it is or what its sex is, hut we have christened it ‘Trilby.’ We have a good many freaks here, but I think this is the greatest one of all.” FIGHTING AT BROOKSIDE, ALA. Negroes Refuse to Surrender a Mur- derer. The mining town of Brookside, fifteen miles west of Birmingham, Ala, is in a state of panic over a race riot which oc- curred yesterday, resulting in the death of two deputy sheriffs and a number of ne- groes. The fight, which lasted for over an hour, was between an organized band of white miners, headed by Deputy Sheriffs A. T. Wood and Joel Baxter, who were trying to arrest Jim Biggers, a negro, and a crowd of the latter's friends. Over one hundred and fifty shots were fired. Mine Boss Culverhouse of the Sloss Iron and Steel Company discharged Biggers for a violation of mine rules. biggers remain- ed about the place making threats. He re- fused to leeve the company’s premises, and a watrant was sworn out for his arrest for trespassing. Deputy Sheriff Wood and Spe- cial Deputy Joel Baxter went to arrest Bigecrs. As they approached Biggers fired upon them with a Winchester rifle. A bul- let passed through Wood’s head and an- other throvgh his heart, killing him in- stanfly. Baxter was mortally wounded, but was able to get back to the camp and give the alarm. The whole force of miners at once orgenized and went to arrest Big- gers. The latter in the meantime had eall- ed in a number of his negro friends, and when the two parties met a pitched battle resulted, the negroes fleeing to the woods. It is said that half a dozen or more were shot down, several of whom were killed outright and the others badly wounded. The tow: of Brookside is in a state of great excitement, every man in town being armed. Sheoting was kept up at intervals for two hours or more. Late last night word reached Birming- ham from the telegraph operator at Brook- side that an attack by the negroes was feared. When the first news of the fight reached Birmingham last evening Sheriffs Morrow and Chief of Police McDonald summoned all the available officers, and a car load of them started at 11 o'clock for the scene of the riot. Deputy Wood, who was killed, was ex- | sheriff of Talladega county. It is believed that the arrival of the force of officers from Birmingham will restore quiet, and that no further demor-stration will be made by the negrces. Trouble between the white and black miners employed at the Sloss Company’s mines at Brookside has been brewing for some time. There has always been ill feeling between the two races, aud it needed but the first shot to bring on a fight. ——- Charges Dismissed. Contractor William Tenly was defendant in the Police Court today cn charges of assault and cencealed weapons. The charges were preferred by Edward Hall, who owns carts. His carts had been em- ployed on Tenly’s works, and when he went to get his money there was a dispute, and Tenly claims that Hall threatened him. The trouble happened near 22d and P streets about ten days ago, and Tenly drew a pistol. Judge Miller heard the evidence of several witnesses. There was a dispute about the amount of the bill, and the pis- tol was drawn only for the purpose of frightening Hall. After this occurrence Mr. Tenly got a permit to carry a pistol. The proof showed that the weapon was merely drawn, and was not pcinted at Hall. Judge Miller dismissed the charges. —.__ The most expensive short story ever printed is “The Long Arm,” the $2,000 prize detective story, the first installment of which will be printed in The Star of Sat- urday, August 3. LATE SPORTING NEWS MADE OUR PITCHERS WEARY, ‘The New Yorks Had on Their Batting Clothes Yenterday. There is not much to say about the game yesterday between the Washingtons. and the New Yorks, except that the former Played like everlasting marionettes, and the latter like pennant winners. For the Lerefit of those who may never have had the pleasure of the acquaintance of a marionette it may be stated that it is an object that looks like a man and acts a trifle like a man, but isn’t a man at all. It has everything but life and a head. There was neither head nor tail to the game put up by the local team yesterday. it was alla jumble. Joyce had his tongue with him, and if he had played ball as hard as he kicked and jawed he might have accomplished something better ,in the total score. He did manage to push the ball cver the fence for a homer in the ninth with two men on bases, and thus gave the only imitation of ball playing given by the entire home team during the long, tiresome contest. Boyd started in to pitch for the Washingtons, and lasted three innings, during which the used-to-be Giants had all the fun they wanted with him. Then he retired for Marlarkey, who did just enough better to let the visitors hit him about often enough to keep on adding run after run to the score. It is useless to go into the harrowing de- tails of the game.. Amos Rusie was the most prominent and important detail of all, for he was practically invincible. A new man named Hunt umpired behind the bat and Mr. John Heydler, well known as a local judge of the game, did the field work. Hunt was peculiar in his manner, and decidedly unique as to his voice. But he did well enough, and if it had not been for a very questionable bit of judgment early in the game, when he called foul a hit by®Boyd that appeared to a majority of the spectators to strike the line fair and square, his work would really have Leen above par. Heydler, as usual, was beyond criticism. Hassamer’ appeared again in right field, but he seemed a little slow. The star play of the game was by Stafford in the first inning, when, with two out, he took a trip into the air, collared a ball thrown in from right field after Hassamer had ham- mered it down to the fence, gripped the sphere like grim death, turned several kinds of somersaults, and touched Gentle Willie as he tried to elongate his hit into a two-bagger. It was really a wonderful play, and shut off a run, as McGuire was going for the plate with his tongue hanging out. The rest of the game was featureless. Crooks did, however, field like a real ball player, although he made an error. The score tells the tale: 2 WASHING { NEW YORK, R.W.O.AE. H.O.A.E.

Would Have Beaten Defender Even Without an Acciden: From the New York Times. The Defender was beaten today by the Vigilant, and in weather conditions that Mr. Iselin has claimed the new boat would romp right away from her. There was a strong wind and a heavy sea. It was on a broad reach, that is supposed to be the De- fender’s best point of sailing. The Defender met with her first serious mishap, too, but as this happened only four miles from the finishing line, when the Vigilant was close to her, it is certain that her defeat cannot be attributed to ac- cifient, Both yachts were reaching fast toward Bartlett’s Reef lightship; the Defender, ac- cording to those on board, was about three minutes ahead of the Vigilant. The light- ship was a quarter of a mile ahead, when the steering gear of the Defender became deranged, and, after passing the lightship her head sails were lowered, and the Vig!- lant, going on, finished alone. Those on the Vigilant maintain that they had the race won, the finishing mark being only three and one-half miles ahead. The course was sixty-four miles in length, and the Defender would probably have had to allow the Vigilant at least five minutes time, so that three minutes was not a suffi- cient lead for her to have secured the race. The fact that these two boats have not been officially measured Is causing lots of trouble, and there is no end of grumbiing. The rules of the club state emphatically that yachts must be officially measured be- fore they race. This rule is enforced with other yachts, and tt is hard to see why it should be waived in the case of the De- fender. The excuse made is that they don’t want Lord Dunraven to know any more about the yacht than they can help. This is ab- surd now. The Valkyrie is on the ocean, and it is too late to alter her, even If George L. Watson wanted to, and it is pretty certain that they don’t want to make any changes in her. The result of the De- fender not being measured is that no one knows how good or how bad she is. In her first race she beat the Vigilant 2 minutes 42 seconds, in her second she won by 9 minutes seconds, and in her third by 1 minute 49 seconds. Those who are in a position to know maintain that the De- fender lost her first and third races, as well as today’s. JAKE SCHAEFER’S ACCIDENT. His Good Billiard Ruined. CHICAGO, July 31.--As an after effect of the accident Saturday to Jake Schaefer, in which the “wizard” fractured his right arm, comes the news that two big billiard tournaments the plans of which have been under way for some time have been de- clared off. Whether this means that the world’s greatest experts are to be seen in competition this winter »r not will de- pend largely upon Schaefer's condition when his arm has thoroughly mended. The promoters of the proposed tovrneys do not care to go ahead with the’ arrangements unless it is certain that tae “wizard” can be a contestant. Schaefer was in a cheerful frame of mind at his home last evening, considering that he has been through a siege of the most excruciating pain. Not only did the fall off the cable car fracture and splinter a bone in his forearm, but tore all of the tendons in his wrist out of place, necessi- tating an operation to get them hack into Arm Possibly place, as well as to remove some small splinters of bene. The physicians in at- tendance do not hold out much hope that he will come out of the trouble as good for billiard piaying as he was before, but Jake himself is supremely hopeful. Where They Expect to Fight. DALLAS, Texas, July 31.—The contract for building theCorbett-Fitzsimmons amphi- theater was let yesterday. The plans and specifications call for a seating capacity cf 52,800. It will be a permanent struc- ture, built by a joint stock company made up of business men of this city. The Flori- da Athletic Club will not erect a building, as first announced. This is to avoid in- junction proceedings. * Chess Experts in Sersion. SKANEATELES, N. Y., July 31.—At the new library hall the annual midsummer congress of the New York State Chess Association is in session, the attendance of chess players of this state and of Philadel- phia, Pa., being very large. ‘There are two events, the tournament for the “Staats Zeitung’s cup” and the general tourna- ment, which is being played in classes. In the first named event there are four en- tries: A. B. Hodges, Manhattan Chess Club; Eugene Delmar, Metropolitan Chess Club, New York; Phil Richardson, Brooklyn Chess Club, and N. D. Luce, Rochester, while there are a great number of players in the general tourrament. THE CAMBRIDGE ATHLETES. They Will Sail From Englan August 27. LONDON, July 31.—The Standard says: The Cambridge team, which is to meet Yale, was completed yesterday and will be made up as follows: F. 8S. Horan, presi- dent of the Cambridge University Athletic Club; W. E. Lutyens, W. Fitz-Herbert, C. H. Lewin, G. Gomer-Williams, E. H. Wid- ding, L. E. Pilkington, Fletcher, B. J. M. Watson, A. B. Johnston, W. Mendelsohn, Jennings and H. J. Davenport. The team will sail on the Aurania on August 27, which will enable them to have a month’s practice. Messrs. Horan, Lutyens and Fitz-Her- bert will also assist the London Athletic Club in their contest against the New York Athletic Club. The Sportsman says: “Regret will be general here that Yale does not see its way to have a three-mile race; as Horan will not have a chance of displaying his brilliant long-distance form unless he as- sists Lutyens in the mil Sporting Life says: “It will be the last occasion when Lutyens will don the colors of Cambridge and we hope that he will be successful. The team are not over-confi- dent themselves, but they ought to create a favorable impression. “Hemingway, the long-distance jumper, is gonig out with Mr. Mitchell's cricket team, and it is un- derstood that his services will be available against Yale, if they are really required.” In the Oxford-Cambridge contests this year, Cambridge won five out of nine events as follows: E. J. M. Watson, put- ting weight, 37 feet 9 inches; W. E. Lut- yens, one mile run, 4 minutes 23 2-5 sec: onds; W. Fitz-Herbert, 440-yard dash, 50 seconds; W. Mendelsohn, running broad jump, 22 feet 4 1-2 inches; F. S. Horan, three-mile run, 14 minutes 50 2-3 seconds. In the 100-yard dash E. H. Widding con- tested for Cambridge, but Oxford won the event in 10 3-4 seconds; in the high jump, A. B. Johnston contested for Cambridge, Oxford winning at 5 feet 9 inches; in the #20 yard hurdle Pilkington snd Fletcher com jested for Cambridge, but Oxford won in 16 2-5 seconds; A. B. Johnston con- tested for Cambridge in throwing the ham- mer, and was defeated by Oxford, whose record was 116 feet 7 inches. LE DROIT PARK TENNIS. - Doyle and Gee Win in the Annual Contest for the Dyrenforth Trophy. A tennis event of great interest oc- curred last evening on the grounds of the Maple Tennis Club, in Le Droit Park. ‘There was a large attendance of the friends of the members cf the club and others to witness the annual contest for the Dyren- forth trophy. The contestants for the past ten years have been Doyle and Gee, But- terworth and Ginesi. This year the same players entered, and the game, which was marked by brilliant plays, was watched with interest by an appreciative andience. Four sets were played, and Doyle and Gee won three, and the trophy was awarded to them. The scores were as follows: Doyle and Gee beat Butterworth and Ginesi, 6-4, 3-6, 6-0, 8-6. Mr. Brooks was the referee. es THE FEDERATION OF LABOR. Action on Many Matters at the Meet- mg Last Night. Thirty-two organizations were represent- ed at the weekly meeting of the Federa- tion of Labor last night. Credentials from the delegates from the plumbers, eccentric engineers and carriage and wagon makers were received and the delegates admitted. The committee having in charge prepa- ration of a float for Labor day reported having agreed upon a design representing the condition of the workingman under the eight-hour system, as compared with that when he labored under the ten and tweive- hour systems. The Cranford Paving Company was re- ported as violating the eight-hour law in their cement paving contracts. It was stated that the firm has refused to employ members of the Cement Workers’ Union, who insisted upon working eight hours, and that cement workers were brought from Baltimore and made to labor for ten and twelve hours for $1.50 per day. After con- siderable discussion, the matter was re- ferred to the Cement Workers’ Union, with instructions to procure data with a view to beginning a prosecution against the firm for violation of the eight-hour law.
