LONDON , May 2-1. [ Now York ! Herald
Cable Special to THK BEE. ! The Vnlkyrlo
won her race nt Gravcsond to-day , nnd won
It clearly nnd well , but she is not ns good n
boat as tlio Volunteer , unless some accident
ban happened to the American cup's cham
pion since her encounter with the Thistle a
couple of years ago.
Yesterday the regatta , If finch It could prop
erly bo termed , In connection with the Royal
Thames \ acht club , wns ns pretty n ono ns
has over started from Gravescnd In May.
The match between the three first-class
boats , the Valkyrie , the Yarana ana the
Irox was , of course , the all absorbing event
of the day ; but the race between the smaller
crafts , Mohawk , Vreda and Dcorhound , nlso
carried n great deal of Interest ; and there
were many who anxiously watched the All
comers rnco , contested by the Foxglove ,
Declma , Dis , Maid Marian , Foxhound , Volau-
vcnt and Amphltrltc.
The first-class race of the day , however ,
was the major Item of attraction , and in tha
beginning created n vast amount of excite
ment because the Vnlkyrlo started last , nnd
maintained that position for n whllo. Long
before she got to the Nero , however , eho had
passed her two competitors , nnd the race was
a foregone conclusion , barring accidents.
The first-class racers' course was fifty
miles from tbo lower Hope light , round the
Mouse lightship , and return to Gravoscnd.
All the yachts started together , at halt past
11 o'clock and the Yarana at once took the
lend , closely followed by the Irox and Vul-
kyrlo. The Vullcyrlo gradually pulled up on
and passed Jameson's old hero , and after a
long sail , In which she gained steadily , Inch
by inch , she passed the Yurana , nnd sailed
on liken swallow for the Mouse lightship ,
which she turned at 2:22:53. : The Yarana
was moro than five minutes behind her , nnd
the Irox nearly thirteen.
After rounding the lightship spinnakers
were sot und Iho Valkyrie , with her enor
mous stretch of canvas , still maintained hoi-
load over the Yuraun , though the Irox gained
considerably during the run home , and
passed the homo flag-buoy but twenty seconds
ends behind her opponent , the Yarana , which
cutno in about eight minutes later than the
Valkyrie.
The finish was made in the following time :
Valkyrie , 5:00:17 ; Yar.ina , 5:11:20 : ; Irex ,
6:14:40. : The tlmo allowance was Irox , nil ;
Valkyrie , 5 m. 50 sees ; Yarana , 12m. 20 sees :
therefore the Valkyrie only beat the Yarana
by 1 mlnuto and 3 seconds , corrected tlmo.
Ilcgardlng thn crack boat 'of the day the
coram juts wcro numerous and various , and
though she had enthusiastic admirers enough , ,
and many to pralso the smartness she em
bodied in her small size , yet thcro were farseeing -
seeing experts who remembered the Thistle ,
the Galatea and the Gcucsta , and gave it as
their opinion that the Valkyrie could not compote
pete with the crack American. She is a good
boat , no doubt , uud a pretty ouo at that , but ,
as has boon said before , If she is to bo re
garded ns a British champion , there Is not a
yacht , under English colors , atloat to-day
that can beat the Volunteer , of Boston.

DEATH OF LAURA. BIIIDOMAN.
Tlio Nineteenth Century Marvel Im >
inortnllzcd By Dickon * .
BOSTON , May 2-1. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEE.I Laura Bridqman died rather
mddenly of heart failure to-day at the Per-
dns Institute for the Blind , In South Boston ,
which has boon her homo for the past fifty
years. The heart failure was accelerated by
: ongcstlon of the lungs , both superinduced
jy a severe attack ot cryslpllas
last summer. This wns not her
original sickness , for she novcr
really recovered from the effect of the death ,
In 1870 , of Dr. Howe , her famous instructor.
She has naturally been nn Invalid over since.
Last summer her condition became so bad
that she wai sent nway to Lebanon , N. II. ,
to recupornto. Instead of so domjf she be
came violently homeslclc , her usual fate
when away from the asylum for any length
of tlmo , nnd erysipelas ensued. She was
brought , back to Boston , nnd by strict
attention to her on the part of Dr. Anangas ,
the superintendent , nnd J. D. Brldgnui , the
surgeon , she rallied sufficiently to bo con
sidered out of nil danger.
She begana month agoto steadily weaken ,
the erysipelas having seemingly cnusod such
nn aspect to her system that her vitality
lessened , nnd , n week ntjo , her heart failed
her so that it was apparent that
her end was very near. A num
ber of her friends nnd relatives
were summoned from Now Hnmpshlro and
attended her bednldo. Those she scorned
delighted to know were about her , nnd this
morning she was believed to bo greatly im
proved. She suffered none nnd her faculties
were perfectly clear. She seemed fully to
realize her situation , but conducted herself
with amazing coolness and Indifference , ns If
she considered death u boon to her poor ,
long-Imprisoned soul.
Shortly before noon n sudden change
alarmed the doctors , nnd nn examination
showed that dissolution was Imminent. All
her friends and attendants wora summoned
to her bedside , but she scoinod to enter Into
n swoon , from which she never recovered ,
dying at tbo time stated. Tbo details of her
funeral have not yet been completed , but it
xvill take place at 11:30 : p. m. next Sunday
from the asylum and promises to bo largo.
When Charles Dickous visited this coun
try , in 1841 , ho saw Laura Bridgmun In Bos
ton , nnd in his "American Notes" wrote
about her one of the most beautiful sketches
to bo found in all his works. By a severe
illness at the ago of two years , she lost her
sight and hearing , and , consciiuently , her
speech. The sense of smell was destroyed
and Iho sense of tnsto imnaircd. She recov
ered her health gradually but none of her
lost senses wore restored.
At the ago of eight she became an inmate
of the Perkins institute for the blind , in Bos
ton. By the exorcise of wonderful patience
and skill. Dr. S. G. Howe taught her so that
she could wander about the various apart
ments of the building unattended , and then
instructed her in the use of the manual
alphabet , used by the blind , so that she could
spell out the names of the various objects ,
such as spoons and forks , with which she
was familiar.
All this was accomplished in three months.
Then she wns taught to write , and her first
effort was to wrlto n letter , unassisted , to
her mother. She subsequently acquired the
rudiuicuts of arithmetic , took lessons on the
piano on which she became a skillful player ,
and acquired a practical knowledge of needle
work nnd of some household 'duties. She
made much of her own clothing nnd ran a
sewing machine.
Sno ono day asked , with the typo which
had been prepared for her , thin question :
"Man made houses and vessels , but who
made the land and the seal" She was told
that It was God who made all things , and'
upon his character bolnp described to her ,
together with the doctrine of the resurrec
tion , the fear of death which had formerly
distressed her passed away , and she ex
pressed the greatest happiness nt the thought
of a life bpyoud the gruuo.
bho was born in Now Hampshire , Decein-
21 , 1829.
IjlBEKTY'S LONGINGS.
Convicts Caught IMnnniiiK for to

JEUSIY CITT , N. JM May 24. A plot wa
unearthed this morning for the general de
livery of the convicts confined in the Hud
son county penitentiary at Snake Hill. At
tention being attracted to the suspicious
conferences of five long term convicts , search
was made of tlio cells occupied by the con
victs. The investigation resulted in the dis
co very of nineteen files , six knives , five saws ,
ten drills , n pair of compasses nnd other
articles. Tbo files were smuggled Into
the prison from the outsldo , and the other
tools were made by u convict blacksmith
now at libeity. Keys made of lead were
found in the pocket of one of the convicts
which would have readily opened the doors
of the cells and that of tlio corridor. The
men were nt once put in close confinement
and for some time will subsist on broad and
water. The other prisoners are believed to
bo Implicated and a searching investigation
is now in progress.

DISCOVERED BY THE POLICE.
Evident Attempts 11 nil Boon Mnclo

Over Them.
Tlio Murder MyHtory DccpenB.
CHICAGO , May 34. It was learned to-day
that the police struck quite an Important
clue In the Cronln mystery. It seems to bo
beyond doubt that they have discovered the
place where Crontu wns murdered , n vacant
cottago'ln Lake Vow. The authorities have
hadsomo information about the place for
several days , nnd since the discovery of the
body an officer has been constantly watch
ing the suspected cottago. The reporters
hoard of this surveillance , but the police
would give no Information , Accordingly ,
this morning , three reporters watched their
opportunity , and when the oQlcor was In the
rear of the house forced an entrance nt the
front. Stains resembling blood were scon on
the front stops , but when the report
ers entered the front room or parlor ,
they found undoubted blood stains on the
floor , also in the corner of the back parlor
and in the hallway. The parlor floor is cov
ered with bloody marks , although hero the
assassins evidently made strenuous efforts to
destroy the stains. The iloor Is doubod reck
lessly with brown paint nnd it can bo plainly
scon that the work was not that of an ex
port. It was evidently done in such baste
that several places wore left where the
blood-stains arc perceptible , notably in the
ceuter of the floor. In the paint , were prints
of bare foot. Evidently the person who
maao the marks \vas much excited , for the
foot prints nro seen in every direction , Indi
cating that the person had rushed nil over
the room.
The reporters had not completed their In
vestigation before the arrival of the ofhcors ,
who put n stop to the work.
Before brenklng into the house the report
ers had peered through the basement windows
dews and discovered a spade standing
against a post , and that the earth had been
freely turned up. It is said that the police
found bloody clothing concealed in the house
or basement , but on this point they refuse to
talk.
talk.Tbo cottage in question is situated within
n few hundred foot of the homo of P. O.
Sullivan , the Ice man.
Thn cottage belongs to a man named Carl
son , who lives on the rear of the same lot.
It appears that about seven weeks ago a
young woman rented the house , paying n
month in advance , People were given to
undorstnud that the woman had rentca it for
her brothers , who had been hired by Sullivan.
Sullivan declares that ho did not hire any
such man. Moreover , though the rent was
paid , the house remained unoccupied until
about the tlmo of Cronin's disappearance ,
when.men cauio with what appeared to bo a
bundle of carpets. If they wcro preparing
for Cronin's assassination , this would bo a
good way to smuggle into the house the
largo bundle of cotton Dotting found with
the body.
Proceeding on the theory that Cronln was
murdered hero , it is pointed- out that the
house is admirably located for that purpose.
Being so near Sullivan's house , Cronln
could bo conducted to it without exciting his
suspicion while , at the same tlmo , it would
furnish a perfect hiding-place for them to
spring upon him as soon us ho entered tne
place. It is also surmised that the carpet
may have been put upon the hallway or other
front room to give the place the appearance
of being occupied.
The attention of the police was directed to
the house by Carlson , the owner. This
afternoon it was visited by Inspector Ebor-
sold and the coroner.
When Lieutenant Schuettler found the re
porters had gained entrance to the house ho
was very angry. Ho suspended the officer
who had been on the watch and scut another
to tno placo. The lieutenant himself , how
ever was not moro successful in keeping the
secret , for a reporter succeeded in drawing
from him some important admissions , among
thorn that the police had a clue to the mur
derer. The most Important admission was
that the clothes of the dead man had been
recovered nnd identified.
Late this afternoon Mrs. Carlson turned
over to the polica a letter signed "Frank
Williams , " which she said was written by
ono of the two strange men who occupied
the cottage and disappeared after the mur
der. The police would not divulge the date
or contents , but It Is supposed to relate to
the renting of the houso.
The police ofllclals appear to think to
night that Cronin's nssassinn may have
imitated "Boodler" McGnnprlo's famous escape -
capo up Lake Michigan. It is said that two
men were noticed early the Sunday morning
following Cronin's disappearance , in n row
boat on the lake , making for the North pier.
They were heading almost in n straight line
from the beach In Lincoln Park , near where
Prisoner Woodruff said a halt had been in ado
with the mysterious trunk. Since that
night a row boat has been missing from an
establishment close by. The suburban police
have always claimed that thcio wcro three
men seen in the wagon supposed to contain
the mysterious trunk. Woodruff from the
llrst talked of two other * besides himself.
The police nro very anxious to hoar from
the missing boat.
WAS CHONIN A spy ?
A disagreeable rumor was starred , to-day ,
regarding Dr. Cromn , which is vigorously
denounced by his friends. It was to the
oftcctjthnt Dr. Cronin was a spy in the em
ploy of the London Times ; that his being so
came to the ears of thu Irish nationalists ,
and ills fate was that of other informers. It
will be remembered that ono of the spies of
tlio Times was in Chicago all last year , until
November. Ho was an excellent talker ,
magnetic , and possessed to u largo decree
of the quality of making friends.
Ills identity was disclosed in the Parncll
casn about tbo same tlmo that La Citron's
duplicity came to light. Dr. Cronin , it Is
claimed , was also a frequenter of the nlaco
where the detective made his headquarters ,
and that the two were acquainted Is not at
all Improbable. It is certain that the Information
mation possessed by Dr. Cronln was of n na
ture to bo extremely desirable to the op
ponents of Purnell , and Just the kind of in
formation tills spy was after. During the tes
timony of Lo Cnron ho was asked tn tell who
his associates and follow-workers were
in America ho declined to say at llrst for
fear that ho would be murdered for doing so.
The court ruled that ho might give his in
formation in the presence of thu Judge and
counsel only , nnd that that part of his testi
mony would not bo published. Ho did so ,
and , accordinir to the rumor , Dr. Cronin's
name was in the list. Some section which
was looking out for informers bent delegates
to Chicago to attend to the case of
Dr. Cronln. They came hero Irom abroad ,
did their Job , departed , and nro now
probably back In their foreign homos.
Although Dr. Cronin's friondu uro InUlu'imut
at this story , detectives say the theory that
the murder was done by strangers Imported
here for thu purpose , and that the murder
ers nro now thousands of miles away is u
good one. It ia not necessary , thu police say ,
that the murder should have been done for
the object stated in the rumor. If , for In
stance it was , as claimed by Dr. Cronin's
friends , the outcome of u row among the
members of tbo Irish movement In this conn-
try , that fact would not detract from the
Idea that outsiders wcro used to do the
bloody work.
AN IMI'OltTAXT HSU.
In tbo vacant cottage whore the blood
stains were discovered , there was found by
the detectives , to-night , a brand now key.
The officers decided at once to try It in the
lock of the mysterious trunk found * bv the
roadside the morning alter Cronln disap
peared. I'ho key tilted exactly. All douot
now of a genuine connection between Pris
oner Woodruff , thu Udder's dead body , the
trunk nnd the blood-stained cottage has been
settled beyond question.
Dr. Cronm's remains will-bo taken to
morrow to ono of the largo pnbllo halls on
the lake front , where all who doslro may
gaze on the ghastly corpse. Sunday there
will bo n street parade from the hall to the
cathedral. After serviced the remains
will go by train to Cnlvary cemetery.
Fifty cents will bo charged each person goIng -
Ing to tbo cemetery , nn amount which it Is
estimated will net the committee of arrange
ments 85 cents for each faro. The sum thus
raised , it Is announced , will bo devoted to
the discovery nud prosecution of the doctor's
murderers.
The Carlson cottage has boon thoroughly
ransacked. A new brush , such ns painters
ordinarily use In coarse work , was found In
the attic. The hairs were smeared
with paint similar to that with which the
blood stains bad been partly obliterated'
In thonttlcww nlso found n pot containing a
quantity of the same sort of paint. The in
dications wcro that the painting bad been
done some time after the killing , possibly in ]
volving n return to the homo by the mur
derers or their accomplices.
A son-ln-.nw of old man Carlson to-night
said the cottaga was ranted In March , nnd
the rent paid In advance. The man who
brought tha bed , bureau nnd some rugs to
the houso. told Mrs. Carlson his sister was In
n hospital , sick , and that before moving ho
would wait until oho wns able to leave
the institotlon. Afterwards ho came
back with another man , They then
informed the Carlsons that they wore broth
ers and that their name was Williams. When
the month was up , on the 20th of April , they
came around and paid another month's rent
saying their sister was sill sick.
The old folks bcoamo suspicious after
this nnd determined there wns something
wrong and decided not to lot the man have
the house after this mouth. The singular
thing is that last Thursday another man who
had not bo seen before , came to the house
to bay the third month's rent. Mrs. Carlson
refused to rent the house longer , saying they
proposed to sell It. The man said ho would
return next day to tnko tno furniture awny.
Ho did not come the next day nnd the furni
ture Is in the house yet.

TheSouthern PrcsUytcrlaim.
CHATTAXOOOA , May 2-1. In the Southern
Presbyterian general .assembly to-day
several members , who voted against the
notion of the assembly in adopting the co
operation report , .filed n written dissent ,
stating that the assembly should have first
referred the matter to the presbyteries for
an expression of opinion. The report of the
standing committee on foreign missions ,
whllo approving co-operation in foreign
fields , discourages every union of mission
aries or churches where "distinctive fea
tures of our government nro surrendered , "
and says , "tlioso entering into
such a union will no longer bo considered
our missionaries. " This report was referred
to a special committed to report at the nex't
assembly. A telegram was received from
the northern assembly at New York stating
their action on co-operation. The telegram
was referred to a special committee. This
committee reported this evening the follow
ing answer to thu northern general assem
bly :
"Wo concur in the action of your assem
bly as conveyed in your tolegrnm. "
This report was adopted , those who op
posed the Joint report last night being ex
cused from voting.

The Argentine llopnbllc to Pay n Five
Per Gmit Bounty.
WASHINGTON , May 21. E. L. Baker ,
United States consul nt Buenos Ayrcs , In a
report to the department of state , says the
cattle Industry of the Argentine Republic Is
in such n languishing condition that a law
1ms been passed offering a guarantee of 5
per cent for ten years on the capital em
ployed In the business of exporting fresh or
preserved beef. The report says it is
understood that sovcral establishments uro
preparing to tuko advantage of the
guarantee provided by the government
and are going into tlio business on n largo
scale , with special steamers fitted up for the
traffic and warehouses in England and
Franco. Great things are expected from
the bounty law. Hut Consul Baker nays ha
does not believe the law will hurt the United
States beef shippers much until now methods
are adopted for the preparation of beef for
exportation. Stall-fed cattle are qulto un
known In the country and nil bullocks for
market are taken directly off the grass , the
meat , of course , being soft and watery.

Cora says she over asked her husband ,
Francis R , Core , to graut , was n most ex
traordinary ono. The modest request was
for permission to marry another man. This
was the way she put the matter to him In n
letter :
I have an offer of marrlago from n man
whom I have thought n great deal of for n
long time , so what I write Is to cither glvo
you a divorce or got ono from you , for that h
the only way I will over bo happy. And If
that doesn't hntipcn , I shall only go from bad
to worse. As you have been married three
times , I would nithor lot you have mo got a
divorce from you , but If you want the nubllu
to think you have loft me , you can have it
the other way.lf you wish. You always said
you would do anything in the world to mukn
me happy , and now la your chance. This is
ttio first time I have asked you n favor.
What is the use of being linked to n woman

Mr. Cora was unreasonable enough to im
agine that she could ask for so-nothlng bo-
sldo n divorce , and ho declined to grant the
little favor. Mrs. Core waited patiently fern
n little while , and then began a suit for sepa
ration , which came up before Judge Sedgo-
wlck yesterday on n motion for heavy ali

The pair met in a butcher shop. Hunter ac
cused Appel of Betting the rumor afloat. This
i\ppcl acknowledged , but claimed to hnvo ob
tained his information from a rachmnn liv
ing thirty miles distant. Hunter doubted the
statement , and a wrangle followed , during
which Hunter struck Appel nnd knocked him
down. The latter , upon arising , grabbed up
a butcher's carving knife nnd slashed Hunter
across the faco. The blow toro the chock
from the bono , completely severed the end of
the nose , and gashed his throat , but for
tunately without severing the Jugular or any
artery. Hunter was picked up bleeding pro
fusely. A surgeon was close at hand , and
immediately replaced the severed nose , tied
up the blood vessels and sowed the wound up
with u hundred stitches. Hunter is in a bad
way. Appel was at once arrested nnd bound
over to await Iho resjilt of the injuries.

ST. Louis , Mny2l. The west bound pas
senger train \vhloh left St. Louis lust night
utSilK , wns wrecked three miles west of
Sullivan , Mo. , and not n passenger es
caped unhurt. Forty-llvo passen
gers nro known to have been
sotlouHly Injured though no deaths nro
reported. The train wns running nl n lilcU
rate of speed when tha track , suddenly nnd
without warnlngi gavojway , nnd the locorao-
live , b.iggago car nnd 11 vo conches wont over
an cinbnukment. The trainmen nud tlioso
slightly Injured at onca set to work to aid
the others. In a short tltno forty-five pnsk
seniors , all badly hurt , had boon released
[ roui the debris. A temporary
loapitnl was Improvise , ! at Sullivan nnd
.hoso most seriously Injured were talec'u.
: here , while the others wore brought to St.
Lonls on a special train. . (
It was 11:23 p. m. when the accident oc
curred. Most of the uuBScngers on the train
liad gone to sleep , and others wore about to
do so. Tliore is n curve in the road about
Lhrco tnllcs west of Sullivan , and .when this
iioint was reached , u audden Jolt and Jar was
toll all over the train.
The creek Is crossed by a road at that pointy
and there is a stoop cmbankinont thirty fcot
liigh. In an Instant all the coaches except
two sleepers had boon thrown from the rails.
The passengers wcrothrown In all directions ,
and 8omo of them were hurled from the
conches and down the embankment , The
train was made up of a mall car , express
c.ir , bagpago oar. smoker , ladles' coacb ,
reclining chair car , and two Pullman sleep
ers , nnd back of those were hitched 11 va
empty coaches. Fortunately there were no
tires in any of the oars , nnd the Jolt extin
guished the lights Inuncdlutoly.
The explanation of the accident given by
the trainmen wns that the spikes mid fish
plates had been removed from the rail at
the curve , thus leaving the rail loose on tha
ties. * The forward portion of the locomotlvo
passed over all right , but the tender Jumped
the track and was thrown down the em
bankment.
Who removed the spikes and plates is un
known , but the supposition is that the work
was done by train robbers. Still no robbers
! > ut in an appearance , and if the accident was
jausod bv them they must have cither weak
ened In their pnrposo or huvo thrown the
wrong train. On board the train was a
largo body of physicians returning from the
state medical convention at Springlleld , and
they rendered valuable aid in caring for the
injured.
