London, Aug. 21. Tho Morning Port, has an
editorial to-day on tho' coming ititcrnatioiial
yacht race, and says: 'In a Irht wind and on
smooth water there are several English yachts
that may be relied upon to beat Mr. Bennett's
yacht Dauntless at every point. The result of
the recent race to Cherbourg iiud return, as a
test, was marred by an accident to the Paunt
lcfs. The impression nmong yachtsmen is, that
she does not staHd to her canvas, and canno
compete successfully in heavy any more than
Bhc can in light weather; but, iu going freo, bIic
probably would sail as fast or faster than ou
deep vessels. A yacht race around the Azor .
Islands offers a fairer chance to test the quali
ties of all vessels. If the Americans will not
pail around the Isle of Wight, or Ireland, or on
a short home course, rather than forego a trial
let us race around the Azores."

As the time for tho international boat race be
tween the Harvard and Oxford crews draws
nigh, the excitement in sporting circles In
creases. Much of the space iu the newspapers
Is given up to this subject.
The following extracts are made from to-day's
journals:
From the Land and Water: The balance
Beems to favor the Oxford crew. If the Ameri
cans win we will not only learn their new style
of rowing, but how to maintain it. If the Har
vard crew win after six weeks' exercise, without
'ing their best at anytime, it will be an aquatic
Volution.

jm the Spectator: The opinions is in re
spect to the crews and in regard to the chances
of victory are nearly even. The public are in
quiring if the Americans have ever put out their
whole strength. The course is a hard one, but
the race Is likely to be close. If the weather is
bad the result will probably be in favor of Ox
ford. If good, the Harvards will win. A nice,
slow English drizzle is the thing to take the
heart out of the Americans. Regulations have
been issued to keep tho course clear for two
hours before, and until the race is ended.

-lurloim Illnlory of hi Pant lAte of Crime
nnil IMnmIihU ion.
New York Is enjoying a pleasurable sensation.
At last her joy has culminated, for Rcddy tho
Blacksmith, her wickedest criminal, as Allen
was her wickedest man, is in the clutches of her
zealous ollicials. The career of Reddy possesses
more than ordinary interest, and these para
graphs from the Gotham journals of this morn

brightest features.
Ill Arrest.
Pnvs the Times:
William Varley, alias "Rcddy the Black
smith," arrived in this city yesterday morning,
under escort of Detectives Wooldridge and
Dunne, of the Sixth ward police, having been
brought by them from San Francisco by the
overland route. The arrival of this distinguished
individual caused considerable excitement iu
certain circles, and creates a general desire to
know something of the antecedents of a crimi
nal of such great repute.
Varley is a hero of crime, who has had great
ness thrust upon him rather than achieved it.
A man governed chiefly by brutal instincts, he
has never risen to the first Tank as an adroit
depredator, and he has become famous mainly
because of his unreasoning, ungovernable tem
per, and his matchless impudence. But for that
he would have gone through life as a very ordi
nary thief and pickpocket. His intellect is of a
very low order, and it would trouble him proba
bly to tell when and how he received the alias
of" "Roddy the Blacksmith." The name come
from his fed hair and ruddy complexion, and
from the fact that in early life lie was an appren
tice to a blacksmith, nnd'the atllx was to distin
guish him from "Reddy tho Plumber," another
member of tho lawless gang to which ho was
first attached.
IIIh Flrnt Term.
In 1855 "Reddy" fell for the first time into the
clutches of the law, being picked up by John
Jourdan, then as active, shrewd, and able a
patrolman as he is now a police-captain; but
Jourdan was inexperienced then, and "Reddy"
slipped out of the trap which had been set for
him, and he was finally discharged without pun
ishment, because the complainant in the caso
could not be found.
Very soon afterwards, however, he was ar
rested again for picking the pocket of an English
gentleman in a street car of $400. This time the
fates were unpropitious; the complainant was
present at the trial; the evidence was direct and
positive, and Rcddy, lor the first time in his life,
was a convicted felon. He was sentenced to five
years in the State Prison, and was first sent to
Sing Sing, where he speedily became noted as
the most incorrigible disorderly and disorga
nizing ruffian that had ever been in the institu
tion. He was disciplined without effect. The
shower-bath, the dark cell, and all other expe
dients proving ineffectual, ho was at last sent
off to Clinton Prison to expend his stubbornness
in the iron mines. There he stayed until tho
expiration of his sentence, and although nothing
as to his demeanor there has come out of that
solitude, he certainly returned to his old haunts
in the city entirely untamed.
He Turns Forsror.
Very soon after his release he achieved dis
tinction in an entirely new line. Resuming his
old profession, he picked a gentleman's pocket,
and to his great chagrin found nothing in it but
a draft for .100, payable to order. Ho must have
been very greatly pressed for money at the time,
for he essayed forgery, and, singularly enough,
was entirely successful. Tho crime was disco
vered, "Reddy" was arrested, indicted, gave
bail, and meantime the complainant left the
country, and although he was subsequently re
arrested by Captain Jourdan and confined in
the Tombs for some time, the man who had been
robbed could never be found, and he was ulti
mately discharged.
A YCly Important T.evee Tim tlCil. Varley on
i-iiymcni economy.
From crime to crime until his presence in
New York was at the risk of his life from his
quondam associates and discarded "pals," and
at the mercy of the official. He ran away to
San Francisco, leaving tell-tale traces of his
flight at every stopping place. Of his arrest
and return to New York all know. Yesterday,
while in the Tombs, a reporter conversed with
him and reproduced for the benefit of an inte
rested public the following version of the
meeting:
Reporter Well, Reddy, tell me how you escaped
the police so long ?
Ruddy Oh! I don't know; it's a kind of luek I
have. 1 never tried to keep dark, and it wouldn't
done no good If I had. Ruddy's known everywhere ;
1 met my friends all along the road; I started from
New York, yon know, and walked along the railroad
track to Newark. I got in with some of the boys
there, and we spreed It pretty bad. When I was
"corned'' down, the fellows put me on tho train for
Philadelphia, and Islanded there right side up with
care, you know.
Reporter How long did
Rcddy Hold on, let me have my Bay first. Well,
I just put up at the bcHt hotel there, staked a little
money that night on the "green cloth," you know,
and niade next day for Baltimore. I met the sports
there, and had a drink all round, then went on to
Chicago. Chicago is a pretty fast place. They
don't take two bites to a cherry there, you bet. I
liked the city, and so stayed there six weeks. I
spent all my money there, and telegraphed for funds.
As soon as 1 was reimbursed I started for San Fran
cisco. 1 rode all the way to Omaha with one of our
Congressmen. He Is a regular brick. He didn't
know me, of course. We agreed In politics. (Here
lie detailed the conversation he held with tho distin
guished Republican Senator.) I left the Senator
when I went up to see lirigliimi Young and see his
wives.
Reporter What do you think of the Salt Lake
ladies ?
Reddy Oh, they are not worth a ; they are
not good looking. 1 don't seo what Hrighain duds in
ull of 'em. Well, I left Salt Lake very soon. It didn't
agree with me. When 1 got to San Francisco I had
a bully time. I gave a wine supper two days before
1 wtiB arrested, and the Chief of Police swigged his
champagne along with all of us. He didn't know
me, yon know, aim n was a goon joko. jib nun a
telegraph in his pocket from Hilkes, telling him to
bag me as soon as I arrived. I was Just going to
open a house out there when I was arrested. It's a
good place for business; smart people In ousinoss,
but they are very unieraie; mey uiuruer uiu
(queen's English had there. Tho schools alnt
much there, you know. Well, two days after I hud
lrank wltn me uuiei oi j-ouce ne arrested
me and leveneu ins pisioi at me, vowing
1 wouldn't get away iroiu nun. my menus
raised two hi gold, ami were going to get
me a halxas crr)un out. I would have got discharged,
too. ltuttne jsew iork ponce was tnere though,
and they had one hundred and six San Francisco
policemen to back them, and they would have
arrested me If I had got oil'. S I Just give myself
up to Wooincn, and ne naniiouneu me and we
started home. We came along In the Pullman
Ealaoe-car. The Indians were all along the route,
ut they ain't so bad as the people make out. Those
Canadians are the follows who are doing all
the damage, ana ttie Indians gei uiamcu tor u. i ve
got a good feeling for the Indian; he has been badly
treated. Just like me.
Reddy was Jjust venturing a criticism of the con
duct of the Department of the Interior and the
nollcy that should be pursued towards them when
one of the officers told him to prepare to go to tho
Tombs He had another Interview with his wife,
and was then led over and assigned to a cell In the

take another trip) until the 1st of September, when

NO WATER.
Chlrnfto nut Had On" an Philadelphia.
An accident of a serious nature occurred yes
terday forenoon, which will affect tho domestic
comfort of the residents of the West Division to
a rather unpleasant degree. About 11 o'clock
the Lafrentec, a vessel laden with lumber, was
towing by the tug Crawford from the South
llraneh along the river In tho vicinity of the
Chicago avenue bridge. Contrary to the pro
visions of the city ordinance she was proceeding
stern foremost and dragging her anchor, which
struck the main pipe which supplies the West
Division and tfprung a huge leak. Tho pipe runs
from tho wiTfer works along Chicago avenue,
and dips about three feet under tho bed of the
river. It is a two-foot pipe, and forms the prin
cipal main from which the entire West Side
draws its supply of water. Tho leak was at
once detected by an unwontod commotion in tho
river the water boiling up from below and
creating quite a current. The anchor chain of
the vessel was broken, and the anchor was left
at the bottom of the river.
Information of the occurrence was at once
communicated to the Hoard of Public Works,
who lost no time in taking the proper steps to
remedy the evil. Messrs. Fox and Howard con
veyed their pile-driving machinery and material
to the spot, and the workmen set about making
the necessary preparations for building a coffer
dam. Most of the afternoon was occupied In
dragging for the lost anchor, when ttie precise
character of the Injury done to the pipe could
be ascertained. The leak appears to bo a very
heavy one, and its influence was quickly per
ceived throughout the entire West Division yes
terday, by the slackening of the regular supply.
The cost of erecting tho coffer-dam and re
pairing the pipe will probably amount to over
ijUOOO, while the inconvenience to citizens will
be serious indeed. The supply from that quar
ter will have to be cut off for at least a week,
and the only remaining sources of supply are a
one-loot pipe which runs under the river at
Adams street and a two-feet pipe crossing the
river at Twelfth street. These will, to some
extent, supply the demand, but very inade
quately, inasmuch as the South Side has in the
first place to be satisfied.
The West Side people will hear of the disaster
with some alarm. Their prospects lor at least'a
week to come are not pleasing to contemplate,
and it is to be hoped that the Board of Public
Works will seo that the work of repairing the
pipe is proceeded with vigorously by day and
night, and without an hour's delay. " The acci
dent may also teach a useful lesson in causing
the city ordinances to be more rigidly enforced.
It appears that the ordinance prohibiting ves
sels 1 dragging their anchors in the river is
nr uded to. The result is a calamity
whi. i. will be felt very deeply by a large portion
ol Uiu community.
Now there are two other things to be done.
One is to immediately arrest and prosecute,
with all the power of the law. the captain who
wantonly endangered the safety, health, and
comfort of one hundred thousand people. If he
were sent to prison for fifteen years, andhis vessel
confiscated, it would not be adequate compensa
tion for what he has done.
The next thing is that for a few days, at least,
people must get along with as little water as
they can. using it judiciously iu nil parts of the
city, and not squandering it. With such pre
cautions and with unremitting labor on tho part
of the Hoard, we hope that the citizens of the
West Division will get on with as little trouble
as possible. Chicago Tribune, Aug.
TRICHINA.
The Dreniled Parasite In I lie Went.
From the Chicago Tribune of Aug. 19.
On last Saturday Dr. Dessert was called to
treat the wife of a German named Sachser, em
ployed nt the Illinois Central Car Works, resid
ing at No. 108 Arnold street. The woman com
plained of being "sick all over." She said that her
head ached; that her bones seemed ready to fall
apart, and that each one seemed to possess ifi
own individual pain. While the Doctor was
listening to her story, he observed that every
member of her family, consisting of a husband
and nine children, iooked sick, and that the
father and four of the children seemed unusually
indisposed. Upon inquiry he found that the
youngest, but two years of age, had been ailing
for two weeks from some unknown cause, and
that the husband, a girl of fifteen, and two boys,
aged thirteen and fourteen, had all complained of
being indisposed for some days. They were
alllieted with diarrlnea; complained of pains in
the abdomen; their limbs had become stiff; while
the muscles of the face and those of the eyes
had been considerably swollen. They also com
plained of headache, pains in the chest, and ex
perienced dilliculty in breathing. At first the
doctor believed the symptoms to have been
caused by poison, and he accordingly questioned
his patients regarding their food. He learned
that all had partaken of some raw ham, aud tho
cause was soon made clear to him. Tho symp
tom s were those of trichina, and he began to
treat them accordingly. Before the medicine
could tnke effect, however, the patients be
came much worse, and the father, who, on
Saturday, was yet tolerably well, on Monday was
fnlrty prostrated with the disease. Yesterday
several of the patients were yet iu considerable
danger.
The ham, which was but a part of a whole
one, had been procured from Airs. Halber, re
siding at No.. 150 Arnold street, and upon in
quiry it was discovered that she was also suffer
ing from the same cause, and was under the
treatment of Dr. Merkler, of No. 877 State
street. Her symptoms appeared less aggravated,
however, owing to the fact that she had cooked
her meat, before eating it, while the others had
pnrtnken of it iu its raw state. The physicians
then held a consultation, nnd both agreed as to
the cause trichina. L ntortnnately no part ot
the ham, except a little of the melted fat, is left
for examination, and that docs not suffice for the
purpose. The physicians have endeavored to
prevail upon sonie of their patients to allow
them to possess themselves ot a small portion ol
the muscles of the arm, but with this tender re
quest none of them have been willing to comply.

llamlll.
on the recent defeat of tho "Little Engine" by
Coulter, says:
"Hamiir's raciug days are over, so far as com
petition with such oarsmen as Walter Brown
and Henry Coulter, his more youthful rivals,
are concerned. He did not in any part of yes
terday's contest which came under the writer's
eve pull with much more than half his custom
ary vigor, and this was remarked by mauy, who
looked to see him maintain at least forty-five
strokes to tho minute. A remarkable circum
stance was the t-hauge in the betting yesterday,
which ou one boat ou the way up usually ran
from two to one on Coulter winning the race.
This change from the pool selling of the night
previous rather astouished most people, and
caused various surmises not at ull complimentary
to the contestants aud their backers. They
argued that if Hamlll could pull over the course
on every trial for days past in less than thirty
seven minutes, he could certainly out-distance
his competitor, whose best time was 88-30, and
who claimed ho would lose a minute on tho
upper course. Bo all this as It may, whether
the race was vigorously contested or not, or
whether it was part of an alleged triple alliance
between the prominent oarsmen to rotate the
championship between them, a majority of
those present yesterday are satisfied with the
result. It will nrobablV be of little use to cau
tion people against betting ou boat races, for
they wilt do it over and over again, although
there is nothing more uncertain.

A Alan ftored to Death by nn Infuriated Steer.
From the I'ittnburg Chronicle of lat evening.
A fearful and fatal affair took place yesterday
in West Newton, on the Pittsburg and"Connells
Ville Railroad, by which one man was killed and
another received injuries that will probably
prove fatal. A butcher residing in tho town had
purchased a bullock, which lie was driving to
the slaughter house. The animal proceeded
quietly through the streets of tho town until
near the slaughter pen, where, getting a scent of
blood, he become furious a.nd unmanageable.
He rushed furiously uown tli6 main street of
the town, attacking every person and anything
that came in his way. Vhile proceeding in his
mad course, ho made an attack upon a Mr.
Icely, who happened to be crossing the street in
front of him, and striking him with his sharp
horns, gored him in a most frightful manner,
ripping open his abdomen and chest, tearing a
portion of his luugs out, and leaving his heart
exposed to view. Another gentleman, whose
name we could not ascertain, fared but little
better, us he was caught between the head of
the infuriated animal and a fence and com
pletely crushed. The maddened brute then
made a dash at three ladies who were standing
in the door of a millinery establishment, who
escaped serious injury and perhaps death by
bavins the presence of mind suflicieut to
rush into the house and close the door.
Next the bull encountered a projecting window
filled with millinery goods. Striking the window
with his head, it was torn down, and tho goods
scattered in every direction. The animal then
turned his attention to a gentleman on the
street, who, seeing ills oanger, started to run
lor a place of safety, closely pursued. Just at
tills iustant, however, when the boast was about
to lower his head to strike his intended victim,
the man fortunately struck his foot against a
stone, and fell flat upon Ills face, and tho bul
lock passed over him, and mado a dash tor some
one else.
Some of the citizens had recovered from their
panic by this time, and had armed themselves
with rilles, and alter shooting the animal seven
times succeeded in killing him.
A gentleman Informed us this morning that
Mr. Icely had died from the terrible injuries
received. When struck he was near the school
liouse, and his blood was thrown against the
wulls and into the windows. The children, panic
stricken, lied up stairs. The other iujured man
is fatally hurt.

cured a number of what they believed to be
light balls, with parachute and rocket bouquets.
I'pon setting ono or more of them on fire, by a
match train, however, a loud explosion took
place, aud showers of grapeshot were discharged,
to the Imminent peril of tho assembled specta
tors, who took to their heels. Fortunately no
ono was seriously injured. The olllcors, at tho
risk of their lives, took the rest of the shells
and threw them into the sea, whore some of
them exploded with a tremendous noise, and
the concussion shook the ground like an earth
quake. The missiles were two feet In height,
and appear to have been intended for a suspen
sion over a bastion to throw light on tho
enemy's movements, and it is said that they had
been so long in store that there was no record
of their introduction, and they were considered
worthlcse.

Lono Branch, N. J., Aug. 21. The grand
complimentary ball given last night at the Con
tinental Hotel by the cottagers and sojourners
at Long Branch, to Mr. William B. Barrows,
proprietor of the "Continental," was a brilliant
success, as far as stylo and splendor of dress
was concerned. The intense heat prevented
the attendance of a number of distinguished
persons wto had anticipated being present.
The ball, unquestionably tho most aristocratic
one of the season, the attire of tho ladies, the
ladies, the display of diamonds and precious
jewels was da.ling. The ball-room was deco
rated superbly, aud bunting, tastefully festooned,
made the walls attractive. A large calcium
light in front of the hotel threw a bright glare
on the pathway that leads to the entrance of
the building. Two bands, each of great nume
rical strength, were stationed iu the ball-room,
one at either end.
General George T. Meade, and Hon. Asa
Packer, oi Pennsylvania, were the most notable
guests present.
Among the others were General Joshua T.
Owen, of Philadelphia; Judge Dowling, Captain
Jordan. Frank E. Howe, Henry Clews, Frank
Leslie, ex-Collector Shook, and John Hovey, of
New York. There was a slight sprinkling of
fashionable beauty from Philadelphia. Generals
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Governor Hoffman,
and other notables were expected, but prior en
gagements prevented their attendance.

Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Memphis, Aug. 21. The execution of James
Galvin aud Samuel Moody, the latter colored,
has been the theme of conversation for several
days. At an early hour yesterday morning
crowds of people, mostly negroes, from tho city
and country began to assemble about tho jail,
and by one o'clock the vicinity was dense with
people anxious to witness the cxeeuion. The
men were to expiate tho crime of murder, hav
ing killed Officer Fenton In December, 18(8. At
1-30 P. M. Sheriff Curry appeared with the pri
soner Galvin, accompanied by Father O'Brien
and a guard. Galvin mounted the scaffold with
a firm tread, and apparently without any fear.
Arrived upon tho scaffold, the Sheriff read the
decision of the Court, aftor which Galvin, with
Father O'Brien, united in prayer, when Galvin,
in response to a question from the Sheriff as to
whether he had anything to say, stepped for
ward and addressed the crowd. He acknow
ledged to having fired the fatal shot, but said
he did it in self-defense. After which
religious service was read. Galvln's arms
and legs were pinioned, and the cap placed over
his head, the noose adjusted, and at 1'40 the
drop fell. After hanging fifteen minutes the
physicians pronounced life extinct, when his
body was cut down and delivered to his mother.
Moody, the negro, accompanied by the
minister and officers, ascended tho steps of tho
scaffold at 2'10. The Sheriff read the death-war
rant, and told Moody if he had anything to say
to do so. Moody then, 'as often before, declared
his innocence, warned all to keep out of had
company, said Bedford was tho man who fired
the shot, and that he was going to dio for tho
crime of murder, but expressed a' willingness
to die, having experienced religion since his
confinement. After this the colored clergyman,
Mr. Rivels, offered a prayer and sang a hymn,
Moody joining in tho latter. At the conclusion
Moody's arms aud legs were pinioned, tho cap
was drawn over his head, and at 2-20 tho door
was again dropped. Fifteen minutes after, life
had left the body. It was tlieu cut down and
delivered to his friends.

Saturday, August 21, lStffl. (
There is not a very sanguine feeling among finan
cial men as to the future condition of our market,
and there is a tlrmer tendency both at the banks and
in the regular discount market. The usual demand
for moving the crops has now fairly commenced,
somewhat In advance of former years, and during
lis continuance It is expected that the demand upon
Eastern markets generally will be very heavy, and
possibly may cause some Inconvenience to our busi
ness men not directly Interested lu crop movements.
Money is generally represented east of tho Ohio as
abundant already, and with the large accumulations
in the Treasury It can hardly fall to be scarce here
until the return current sets In in exchange for mer
chandise. The latter Invariably waits on the results
of the harvest.
Coll loans to-day show a firm tone, and average
fully 7 per cent,, whilst discounting Is done at irregu
lar rates, ranging from 8 to 12 per cent,
Oold opened again weak at 132, and, after declin
ing to 131, rallied, closing before noon at the open
ing price.
United States loans have apparently broken loose
from the gold market, and continue to rise as gold
falls. Prices are higher to-day.
The Stock Market was rather more active this
morning, but prices were not so strong. State loans
were neglected. City Cs were quiet, with sales of
old at 90!, and the new issues at 101

prices were weak, ami ranged from 4 l-ltl to 48

THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
The following extracts show the state of the New
York money market yesterday:
From the Herald.
"The gold market was subjected to a continuation
of the influences which have been so prominent
during the week, and the price yielded to 132V. but
reacted to 132 under tho covering of speculative
sales, which were largely Increased to-day, the de
mand for cash gold being so great that ln transac
tions after the Clearing-House loans for carrying
were made 'Hat.' Previously the figure ranged from
live to three and a half per cent.
"At the Gold Exchange Bank the gross clearing
were s2,4U8,ooO ; the gold balances $2,056,581, and the
currency balances 11,532,054.
"Foreign exchange closed heavy and lower at tho
following principal quotations: Sterling, sixty days,
commercial, 109i lof ; bankers', good to prime,
109?.iwl09 ; short sight, 110(110V.
"The sales of Government bonds yesterday on
foreign account led to a weak feeling in that branch
of the Stock Exchange this forenoon, but a rapid
improvement abroad, said to be due to heavy
purchases of 67s by tho Rothschilds, created a
more cheerful feeling, which Increased to a brisk
speculative demand that eventually caused a rise
in 67s to 121','. and in coupon ten-fortici to 115V.
From these figures there was a reaction, and the
market closed with the following quotations : United
States 6s, 1881, registered, I23ai23 ; do. do., coupon,
128.v,123tf ; do. 6-208, registered, 122V 121 ; da do.
