Fjdol was the favorite in the 2:09 pace, and he had no trouble in 1 winning, although in the second heat, Coastman, who had a bad start, being back several lengths when the word was given, pushed through the field and came in a close second, really making the mile in less time than the winner.

Here in Pennsylvania we find what ' is not in existence in the east or south | —one of the original blockhouses built ; before the Revolution and still in a peri feet state of preservation. All the others have disappeared. Furls Duquesne and Pitt are things of the past, but the redoubt of Colonel Bouquet stands today as it stood 130 years ago. To the Pittsi burg chapter of the Daughters of the j Revolution we are indebted for its restoration. It has been owned by them since 1888. Until that year the old redoubt of Bouquet, as it is .called, was occupied as a tenant? house, and within its walls was born Pittsburg’s local historian, the late Neville B. Craige, Esq. ,Down on “the point,” on a narrow, dirty little street called FArt street, surrounded by tuinbledown buildings nearly us old as itself, is a little five sided building of stone aud brick erected by Colonel Bouquet in 1764 as a defensa against the Indians. Tho lower story is of stone and the upper of brick. In both are perforations or loopholes, through which the defenders could fire with comparative safety from the enemy. Why this redoubt was erected has been a query to us, as but a short distance away stood Fort Pitt, a work of considerable Magnitude and whose erection cost the colony of Virginia, or the English government, £60,000, but the redoubt was built, as a stone slab over the door with the legend, “1764 Coll. Bouquet,” testifies. —Philadelphia Times. Read Your Letter Again. Never mail & letter written at night until it has been reread in the morning?

Ocean City, Md., Aug. 19.—8 y tho overloading of a small pleasure boat an entire family was drowned and two ether families are in mourning. A party of farmers from the neighborhood of Frankfordand Shelbyville, Del., I bad a fish fry on Grey’s creek, a branch ' of the Isle of Wight bay, with bathing, fishing and amusements. William Hudson carried a party of nine out sailing, and as the boat was about to come back the women of the party jumped screaming to the high side, capsizing the little craft, which was hardly large enough to carry five persons. The following seven were drowned: William Storrs, 45 years of age, Philadelphia. Laura Storrs, his wife, aged 35, and bis daughters Ida May, aged 16, and Eva, aged 14. - ■ Myrtle Stevens, aged 16, a daughter of Joshua Stevens, of Shelbyville. Lina Hall, aged 19, and her sister, Lulu Hall, aged 14, daughters of i-lisha Hall, « near Frankford. The capsizing occurred within' 200 : yards of the shore and ’in water seven feet deep. Mr. Storrs had only one i hand and was blind in one eye, bjit was an expert swimmer. He succeeded in getting his two daughters on the bottom of the boat and was getting his ■wife when the two girls became scared and slipped off of the boat and went to their parents and together the four perished. Hudson, who was sailing the boat, got the two Hall girls on the bottom of I the boat and was trying to save Miss Stevens, when they slipped off and were drowned before he could get to them. Two other young ladies who were in ■ the boat were rescued by a fisherman, who put off from the shore as the boat cansized. The Storrs family resided at 419 Lancaster avenue, Philadelphia. Mr. Storrs was married in this neighborhood, and yearly he brought his family down for a two weeks’ outing. They were very fond of aquatic sports, and spent most of their time boating aud fishing. Hudson, the skipper, protested to Mr. Storrs against the party crowding into his small boat, which could only carry comfortably four persons. Storrs answered: “Oh, there is no danger; the water is shallow; we are too close and the wind is light.” The bodies when recovered yesterday by the searching parties presented a horrible sight, particularly that of Mrs. Storrs. Crabs had eaten the flesh from her face, exposing her teeth, and even i the roots of her tongue. The ends of ■ the fingers of all hail been eaten away and their eyes had disappeared. Before entering the boat Mrs. Storrs took her husband’s gold watch, over SIOO in money and the rings and othep valuables and tied them in her apron. * f he w is lightly clutching the bundle in < tath MAN OF MANY MURDERS.
