The Volunteer W ins. w————— New York, Sep. 27.—The Scotch cutter Thistle and the American sloop Volunteer have met in the first 1887 contest for the American cup and the Volunteer beat the foreigner 80 badly that the latter's most en- thusiastic champions have only to say that something inexplicable is the matter with the Thistle. It was a great day. lhe people who went down on the 300 steamships, river steamboats, tugs, steam yachts, sail- yachts and boats provided for the oe- casion numbered easily 50,000, and the scene presented by the mass of craft before, at and after the start cannot be described. The boats crossed the starting line as follows : Thistle, 12.36:06; Volun- unteer, 12.3468, The first tack wus in toward Clifton, Staten Island, and on that tack the Volunteer showed the superiority over the Thistle in ist weather that had been written down as the foreigner's best, Thet left no doubt of the result. The Vol. unteer went by the Thistle as though the latter was anchored, and she stay- ed in front to the end. The Thistle was more thao a little bothered by excursion boasts on the first tack. Steamers crossed her bows and gave her much work, but after that the steamers hung to the Volunteer, the leader, and throughout the rest of be ; she A yn times, ee the way they kicked up the and shat off the wind. The wind varied in locality and strength. It soifted between south- east apd southwest, and sometimes one boat had it when the other did not, but the average made things pretty nearly even, aod the result was & mos’ decisive victory for the American sloop. Beating, stretching and running with free sheets the Volunteer outsailed the Thistle. On the return home, she lost ground | largely on account of the way the ac. | companying craft flanked by her. The corrected time is, Volunteer, 4.58:18; Thistle, 5.2:411. Mr. Bell the owner of the Thistle, says she | water that her bottom had been interfered | with, She will be taken out of the water to-morrow and examined. - Hill for Cleveland ArLnany, September 25.—~There longer seems to be any doubt that Monday, the 10th of september, Mayor Johan Boyd Thacher, of Albany, had a no on convesation with Governor Hill which insted several Hill had just returned from the Centennial celebration in Philadelphis, and he was hours, Governor probably very much impressad with the | reception that was given to President Cleveland. At any rate he, during the | Mayor Thacher thoroughly committed himself to the He declared that he had besn all along in favor of the National Administration, but that he had long interview with President. been somewhat misrepresented by several overzealous friends of his, who bound that he should stand up and take This, he declared, he had never had in mind. He further said that he not only ap- proved of the present sdministration but that he was in favor of a second term for President Cleveland, and that were a decided ly hostile attitude he would do all in his power to secure it, | Io helping to do this be thougth he would serve the cause of Democracy and of good government generally, The close observers of political events in the Siate of New York are the opinion that at first Governor Hill thought he might secure a more mark- ed attention from the administration if he could show that he had positive ele. men's of strength in himself: but that: failing to develop any strength that was of a real menace to the administration, he fell back upon a small political follow. ing as a reason why he should be nom_ inated for Governor along with thy This, it is probable, will be the result and Gover- nor Hill may be the candidate at that time for another term in the executive Presidential ticket in 1888, chamber. There are somes chances, however, that he may slip up on this | and that theecandidate may be ex Mayo [ Grace, or the present Mayor Hewitt, New York city. em A AG An Old Man's Crime CONFESSES THAT HE KILLED Wis TWO LITLE GRANDCHILDREN, Lesaxox, Pa. 23 ~Willisam Showers, the aged murderer of his grandsons, was brought into court 9:30 o'clock this morning to te Some thirty-nine witnesses, all resident: of the vicinity of Annville, where (he murder was committed, were in cour A. Frank Seltzer, Esq., counsel for Showers, is confined te his room serious. ly indisposed and District Attorney Ebrgood stated that he was willing to postpone the case until to-morrow, A sensation was theo created by the haad- ing of a written confession to Judge McPherson, which covers five pages of regal cap paper. Showers confesses that he killed the two little boys, as charged in the two bills of indictment, Judge McPherson read the confession amid an almost breathless stillness in the court room. Betsy Sargeant, the Sept, nh tried Annville, and who was to have married him, is implicated as an acoessory in the confession, Showers says the woman held the light while the terrible deed was done, and while he buried them, and that she assisted him from beginning to end. The woman's friends do not believe she can be guilty of so heinous a erime, Her arrest was made this afternoon. The witnesses were discharged and Showers was remanded | to prison, the confession having render. ed a trial unnecessary The hoary: headed murderer will be brought up for sentence in a few days. Dis. I. Reilly Bucher, Samuel Weiss and J, R Beckley, made a thorough examination of Showers’ condition. They discover od his slieged illness to be, in their opinion, feigned. Showers appeared to be very feeble while in court to-day, > —— ~LGireat reduction in every line of goods at Corman’s, The stock must be disposed of at once, and bas been way down, : jee would-be housekeeper of Showers at | CAPITAL $4,000,000.
