Dur- ing the second run to leeward it decreased two or three knots, and during the final beat home it hauled more to the south, so that after-one inshore tack from the mark, both skippers were able to lay a port tack that carried them to the finish line. In the windward work to-day the Ethelwynn stood up to the puffs quite as well as her rival, and while in running free the honors were with the Spruce IV, yet on the latter point of sailing the tiny boats were won- derfully evenly matched. After passing the point of Lloyds Neck on the last home- ward reach the American boat sailed with eased sheets, while for almost half an hour Mr. Brand kept the Spruce IV close hauled and pointed high, thus seemingly losing ground that might have been saved had he kept his boat under better headway by starting sheets. This, if an error. of judgment, was the only one made, and was due possibly to his fear that the wind might hold its southerly slant, in which case he had reason to calculate that the tide, setting out from the bay into the sound, would force him to leeward. When the Spruce IV crossed the line, al- though nearly eight minutes vanquished, pper Brand showed his gameness by joining with his sailor lad, “Wade of Wivenhoe” in ‘‘three times three,” for his rival, though the Ethelwynn was then in tow and out of earshot. Later when the Spruce IV, in tow of a private launch, came up with her competitor on the way in, Owner Field and his helmsman, Mr. Ball, joined both friends on their towing launch 1n several rounds of cheers and a tiger for Mr. Brand, the Spruce IV and the Wade of Wivenhoe. And the pleas- antest part of it all was that on theclub float, where both rivals met, there was the jolliest of handshaking, while Brand begged for a bottle of ginger ale, because his water bottle sprung aleak before he was half through the race, and as he said, “My boy Tom and I want a bit of a swall- low; no, nothing to eat, thanks.” To Owner Field and the skipper Mr. Brand offered the heartiest congratula- tions, as he said: *“You did do us right lively on the wind to-day, didn’t you tho'?” To-morrow’s race will be overa triangle, and the Spruce is said to be strong on the reach, while the Ethelwynn shows she is good in the wind, and a hot and close battle is looked for. HOLMES He Will Be Tricd for the Murder of Benjamin F. Pietzel. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 23.—Her- man W. Mudgett, alias H. H. Holmes, was to-day arraigned before Judge Fin- letter in the court of Oyer and Terminer on indictment charging him with the murder of Benjamin F. Pietzel of this city Sep- tember 2, 1894. Upon advice of his coun- gel the prisoner pleaded not guilty. District Attorney Graham asked that Monday, October 28, be fixed for the begin- ning of the trial. Holmes’ counsel ob- jected to this date, but the Judge, after earing argument on both sides. stated that he thought October 28 would give the defense sufficient time in which to prepare its case. He then ordered that the trial be set down for that day, with the under- standing that when the time arrived neither side could expect to come into court and obtain a continuance on paltry excuses. . ——— SANK DURING A GALE. Loss of a Schooner With AUl the Cargo and Crew. ESCANABA, Micn., Sept. 23.—During the prevalence of.last night's gale the schooner Charles R.

Several of the local officials of the company said that the trouble was insignificant, but the men take a different view of it. They say they have several grievances that must be reme- died before they go any further. They do not believe that Mr. Lozier will close_ the factory sooner than meet their demands. g KILLED HIS YOUNG WIFE. Stinson Then Sent a Bullet Through His Own Brain. OSKALOOSA, Towa, Sept. 23.—M. E. Stinson and his wife were found dead from bullet wounds in bed together at the Asher House yesterday. The double crime was committed by Stinson. The woman, who was only 20 years old, was recognized as “Miss Arta Moore,” whose parents live at Panora, a few miles from Des Moines. She was a member of the senior class at Grin- nell College and it was not known that she was married. The discovery was made to- day, however, that she was secretly mar- ried to Stinson October 14, 1892, by Rev. H. D. Crawford, the record being complete. The murderer’s home was in Fairfield, Towa, where his father was formerly Rock Island railroad agent. He came here Fri- day and visited friends and his wife got permissioh from the college president to isit here. Stinson met her at the depot and they registered as husband and wife. The shots were heard by the police, who ed to the room, but both had been antly killed. -— DE YOUNG IS AMBITIOUS. inst Anxious to Secure the omination for the Vice-Presidency. CHICAGO, L., Sept. 23.—The follow- ing Gispateh is from the Washington corre- spondent of an evening paper: A new ru- mor is brought from the Pacific Coast that Michel H. de Young, editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, is said to have the Vice-Presidential fever. Those who claim to know his desires assert that if an East- ern man be selected to head the Natiohal Republican ticket in 1886 Mr. de Young will make a great fight to capture the sec- ond place on the ticket. He is doing his best to keep his desires in this direction from being made public at so early a date as to injure his cause. FLEVTOR MEK DEFEATED Chicago Board of Trade Men Win a Temporary Victory. Nine Licenses Ordered Revoked by the Rallroad and Warehouse Commissioners. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 23.—The Board of Trade won its fight against the elevator men to-day. Chairman W. 8. Cantrell of oad and Warehouse Commission handed down a decision declaring that the owners of public warehouses must not buy or sell grain through their own elevators. By way of impressing upon the elevator companies the force of the ruling, the com- mission issued an order revoking the licenses of the following nine firms who have been violating the law on this point: George A. Seavers, South Chicago Eleva- tor Compauy, Santa Fe Elevator Company, Rock Island Elevator Company, Central Elevator Compary, Keith & Co., Chicago Elevator Company, National Elevator and Dock Company and Chicago and Pacific Elevator Company. J. R. Custer, attorney for the elevator interests, announced that he had a bill ready to file, asking for an injunction re- straining the Clerk from revoking his client’s licenses to do business. When that fact became known all parties agreed that the execution of Chairman Cantrell’s order should be stayed until October 1, to give Mr. Custer an opportunity to bring the contested question of the commission’s jurisdiction into court. The elevator men intend to fight in the upper courts. Attorney Custer denies the right of the Railroad and Warehouse Com- mission to order the cancellation of a license, and contends that such an order can come only from the Circuit Court, by whose authority the license is issued. The Board of Trade firmly believes that the commission has jurisdiction in the matter, and will resist the injunction proceedings with every means at its disposal.

LONDON, Ex6., Sept. 23.—Charles Day Rose, who recently sent to the America cup committee of the New York Yacht Ciub an informal challenge for a race for the cup next year, was seen to-day by a representative of the United Press. Rose informed the reporter that a formal chal- lenge had_been sent through the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, but beyond this would not say anything.

The challenger is to be named the Distant Shore. Her length on the load water line will probably be 89 feet, and she will be cutter rigged. —— e FOR MONEY OR TROPHEX.

FROM FAIR PLUMAS COUNTY A Gentleman From Mohawk Speaks in Very Positive Terms as to What a Grand Work Is Being Done by the Hudson Medical In- stitute—Suffered Most Acutely. MERICA HAS BEEN CALLED THE “COUN- try of doctors,” and to some extent the title i properly applied, for we have in our centers some of the brightest and best men that the médical world has ever heard of. Andwe can also boast one or two very fameus medical colleges and insil- tutes. In this Western world, far and away the most highly spoken of on account of the great good it has done Is the Hudson Medical Institute, which at present occupies the !arge white building at the junction of Market, Stockton and Eilis s'reets. praises have been sung in_many languages, 5 many thousands of happily cured patients. And ‘amongst those who have had reason tospeak in glows ing terms of this great establishment is Mr. L. M, Christie of Mohawk in this State. He says, writing to the Institute managemen Dear Sirs: It affords me great pleasure to tell the condition of my present health. For years I have been almost a constant sufferer from nervousness and general debility and prostration in all of ite forms, shoo:ing pains all over my body at times. 1 tried many different doctors of the country, and spent considerable money, and . got only temporary Telief ac the time. J And thanks to the Hudson Medical Instifute for my present good health. Have been under their tréatment now about four or five months and feel ltke & young person, and in fact I feel a different person and hold some pleasure in life. 1 think it my duty ‘o tell you, and in fact to tell suffering humanity, that they can get relief and get cured if they will put themselves under your treatment. I know not what to say strong enough to express my gratitude to the Hudson Medical Institure for my present health. Iam 65 vears old, and was re- duced down at one time to 150 pounds, and now [ tip the scales at 180 pounds: that 18 a8 much as I ever weighed when I was young and in vigorous health. Most respectfully yours, L. M. CHRISTIE. People nowadays do mot use such strong ex- Dressions of gratitude as this unless there is very g00d reason for it, aud in Mr. Christie’s case doubt~ less there was what would prompt most people to feel thank?ul for what had been done for him. But day In and day out the whole year thiough the physicians at this really wondertul establishment are deluged with letters of thanks from cured pa- tlents. For instance: F. F. Clvde of Victoria, B. C., writes: “I bardly know how to thank you for what you have done for me so far. [am just about cured.” F. F. Bartels of Oroville: “1 am altogether a new man to what I was when I commenced taking your medicines.” Wiliiam Glenn of Mountain Home, Idaho, says: “The second week has brought me all the encour- agement possible. Health and vigor have begun 10 show themselves.” * A.W. Nealeof Los Angeles: ‘‘Your treatment has done all that you claimed, and I bless the day that I placed myself in your hands.” Have you ever been told that there is no hope for you? If so. and you have not consulted the physicians at this grand institute, do not give up until you have seen them, for all curable diseases are successfully treated, and whilst there is life there is hope for you. Either call or write.
