It had .been plain for several days that the Americans had been overtrained, and when they failed yesterday to respond to the coxswain’s appeals for quicker speed and two of the crew finally drop- ped their oars from sheer exhaustion, the fact became manifest to the most indifferent observer. The pluck which the Cornell men showed in challenging the English aquatic teams and the severe prepara-‘ tion they underwent in order to cap- ture the famous Henley trophy merit- ed. a better fate. defect was complete. They led slightly during the first mile, but after that they could scarcely be said to be in the race. It was not a spectacle which tended to Their arouse American pride, and the determi- nation of the beaten crew to return home at once indicates that they feel deeply the humiliation they have sus- tained. ' The experience which the American crew has received, however, should prove of great value in the future. It should teach them for one thing not to select a couch next time whose own record as an oarsman is largely a chap- ter of fiiikes and failures.

' 1 Because the Johnson Cyclopedia agents attacked the Sentinel two weeks after we had made our liberal offer to our readers. This band of five men have not as yet made any leg1t1matc or manly effort to sell theirrbook. They have spent well onto three weeks-in acting like. the “dog in the manger.” If their book was worthy of patronage they should have started out Lke men and offered it for sale, allowing;r other competitors to have done likewise. Their course, therefore, has been dis- honorable and unbusiness-like. A thoughtful business man will not put- ronize people who will adopt such methods to sell their wares. 2 They are asking our people to buy a small eight volume cyclopcdiu at $7 a volume or $56 for the set which can be shown to be deficient in many inspects. 3 They are attempting t) confuse the public mind in regard to Iliui‘. great reference library which consist. of 25 large volumes and a blob wonilt be an heirloom in any family. 4 The Sentinel is offering this great set of books for only $51.98 a volume or $49.50 for the entire set which has al- ways been sold for $125 to $5150 c act. 5 They ask our people to buy 8 small volumes for $56, 6 It has been proven under oath that they have attempted to secure testimonials for their Cyclop».-oia by adopting questionable methods. '7 It witlbe well to consider all these points before patronizmgpucplc who will resort to such means to call their goods. This is not business .sz and the Sentinel believes that in; p.;cplc of Norwalk and vicinity will look upon these mnnueversiu the same light. The Sentinel would have preferred t l have conducted their sale on strazgnuor ward business principals. Adv. Took Aconite.

THE’FIRE' urn Visitssenysiand Again and 06-- snow. Five Cottages and a Barn. The Fire Undoubtedly the Work of An lncendlary. Bell Island was again visited by an incendiary fire last night and five handsome cottages and a barn destroy- ed, and had not the the'wind shifted several times during the two hours in which the fire raged a number of other cottages would have been in ruins this morning. The fire was first discovered by Miss Bradford who occupies one of the cot. tages at the south end of the island. She had been to the depot in a car- riage to meet the 11:15 train and on her return and while driving along the street in the rear of the cottages, smelled smoke. . She mentioned the fact to the others‘ in the carriage and they all could easily detect the odor of burning wood. Just as the carriage turned the corner of T. H/Foster’s cottage, Miss Bradford exclaimed, “Look there 1 The Freeman cottage is on fire! ” She hastily jumped from the carriage and ran to the cottage of David McLean and woke up Mrs. Mc- Lean's brother, 'William Scott. She then ran to several other cottages and roused the inmates. Mr. Scott quickly arose and ran across the street and woke up ’I‘. H. Foster. He then ran to the burning cottage and found the back door wide open. To a GAZETTE representative he stated that he saw that the floor was wet and got down and rubbed his hand on it and found it covered with kero- sene. When Mr. Scott reached the house and entered he found the fire confined to the front but it soon spread over the entire building and entirely consumed it. '“ The cottage was the property of Mr. J. A. Freeman, of Woodbury, and had been rented for the season to Rev. Mr. Wood. The latter and his wife were in New York, havih» gone there on Mon- day on business, and there was no one at home at the time. Everything in the cottagé‘ was destroyed. The cottage of S. S. Ambler and C. of the Freeman house caught fire and that too was totally destoyed together with its contents. The cottage of Tim- othy Jones of D'anbury, which is noth of the Ambler & Signor cottage, was badly scorched but was saved in conse- quence of the wind having changed and blowing the flames and sparks in the opposite direction. The changing: of the wind sent the flames toward the cottage of G. S. Benedict, occupied by A. J. Wells and wife, of New York, and that was soon a mass of flames and totally destroyed together with all its contents. Mr. iWells was in New York at the time and Mrs. Wells and the servant were the only persons at home. All of the furniture. bedding. silver ware and Mrsp Wells clothing were destroyed. Mrs. Wells also lost two diamonds and one pearl brooch valued. at $350. Her diamond rings and earrings she saved. From the Wells’ cottage the flames communicated with the cottage next door south,‘ owned by G. S. Benedict, and occupied by T. S. James, of Brook- lyn, which also was soon destroyed with its contents. The house of T. II. Foster directly opposite was threatened, but Mr. Fos- ter placed a ladder at the rear and kept the roof saturated with water. Dur- ing the excitement the ladder broke and Mr. Foster and William Stebbins, who was assisting him were thrown to the ground. Mr. Foster escaped with a his legs severely bruised. Prior to this accident Mr. Foster badly out his right arm by forcing it through a pane of glass while throwing water from a pail into the cottage occupied by Mr. Wells. From here the flames shot across the street and ignited the cottage of David McLean which was totally destroyed together with the barn in the rear. This was the most valuable cottage destroyed and with the barn entails a loss of some 05.000. The next house south of the McLean cottage was owned by John Todd, of Bedding, and that too caught fire and was destroyed with its contents except- ingsome pieces of furniture which were carried out. Mr. Todd’s loss will amount to about $3,500, There was great excitement on the Island during the burning of the cot- tages. All the residents turned out and made every effort to save the build- ings and furniture and succeeded in saving quite a quantity of the latter. The greater part of the residents had their belongings packed ready to move should their cottages take fire. At the hotel the sparks fell in large quantities and a bucket brigade was kept busy wetting down the roof as did other cottagers in the neighborhood. From the Sound the sight wall a bean- tiful one and many residents from Hickory Bluff, Tavern and Smith Ia- lands came over to watch the conflsgra- tion. The Island is without fire protection and a telephone message Was sent-to Norwalk for Pheanix steamer. but Signor, of Bethel, which stands north‘ few scratches but Stebbins had one of V , other day. Chief Prowitt thought, that the fire would be out long before the engine could be§gotten to the scene and wisely kept the apparatus at home. A number ran to Roton Point after some hose and repeated knocking at the hotel door with a Stone failed to arose the sleeping servants. The hose was found, however, and carried to the Island, but when put in service the pressure of water was not sufficient to , do any execution. The tolal loss will foot up to about $15,000. Nearly if not all of the cot- tages were insured. . The Freeman, Ambler & Signor and McLean cottages were insured for $5000 with '1‘. Jones, of Danbury. The two Benedict cot- tages were insured with M. E. Mead for $1,200 and $1,500. There is no doubt among the resi- dents and cottage owners at the Island but what the fire was started by an in- cendiary. The finding of kerosene on the floor by Mr. Scott. indicates that a bold incendiary had been at work. This fire coming so soon after the fire that destsoyed the new cottage built by Foster Bros. is also a warning to Belt Islanders to provide themselves with some kind of fire apparatus as well as a good Water supply.

' NEW YORK, July 11.-——Poverty Gap jus- ‘ tified its ancient bad reputation today when Michael McGowan shot his girl, Rose Finn, dead in the street. Years have passed since policemen were maimed and the alley gang beat the one decent boy in the block to death for the offense of earning an honest living. A children’s playground took the place of the 01d rook-, cries in the alley and wrought a.‘ marvel- ous transformation. The Gap was not heard of in the police records from that day until this. Perhaps the fact that the playground is gone had something to do with the relapse. It was assuredly a moral agent beyond compare to that slum. And ‘yet the tragedy of today cannot justly be laid either to the poverty or to the gas. Another factOr, more potent for murder than either or both, entered into it—the fury of jealousy. Whether or not Michael McGowan was properly a product of Poverty Gap does not appear, though his crime makes it highly probable. He had lived there at all events a. long time and was thoroughly identified With the neighborhood. He is a marble polisher by courtesy—that is to say, his father was one. ’ It is not on record apparently that he ever tried his hand at the trade or at any laborious work. He preferred the easier living to be got out of singing in the back rooms of saloons and at picnics and dc- claiming at wakes. He had a good voice and. a taking shape, and. they were his ruin. . . Popular In the Gap. But that did not occur to anybody in the Gap, where he was popular more than most of the fellows. It certainly didn’t strike him, least of all when he spieled himself into the good graces of handsome ' Rose Finn. They met at the wake over Pat Leahy a year ago and took to each. other at once. - Rose was the daughter of a. widow; the» youngest of her five children and the up: ple of her eye. She was a good girl, work-4» ed every day steadily in the Franklinf Bank Note company’s office. down town; and kept her mother snug at their home? on the top floor of the tenement at 514‘: West Twenty—seventh street since her older:' sisters were married and gone away. N 0‘; one knew anything but what was good 1 about the Firms, and Rose was a general favorite throughout the ward. So When Mike McGowan came sparking to the Twenty-seventh street tenement he, underwent a. prompt and searching scru- "» tiny. The verdict was not in his favor. Mike, Tim Tooly, as he was nicknamed, _ after the song of that name that was one. of his crack pieces, was idle, and lie was, bad. He had ruined a. girl, Bridget Daly,‘ the gossips said, and cast her off. , McGowan kept away from Rose’s house as long as he could. NOW he came reluc- tantly to hear his. doom. He heard it. “Go marry the girl you ruined,” she said. ”Rose is not for such as you.” And then he showed the devil that was in him. An ugly 100k came into his face as he snapped, turning yellow and red: “I’ll have her in spite of you, Widow Finn. Mind what I tell you,” and. he _ went out. 20er Was Rose’s Svengali. She saw him no more till last night. But Rose had met him. It seemed as if he had hypnotized the girl, he hold such a strange power over her in spite of herself. She did not want him, yet When he was With her she did as he bade her. She struggled against his baleful power over her, and last night made up her mind to jilt him for good and all. He had asked her to meet him, and she did. Policeman Goetzke saw them walking through Twen- ty-ninth street and saw her confront him With an effort and tell him something that made him angry. They passed out of his sight quarreling. Half an hour later the Widow Finn, go~ ing down to look for Rose, who was out later than was her wont, found them at the door. She ordered McGowan away with angry words. He went, threatening murder. Rose was to be the bridesmaid of an old school friend tonight at her house in West Forticth street. It was her habit to walk, along Tenth avenue to Thirtleth street and take the elevated train down town. She went on her way singing softly to herself. Her song died upon her lips as she crossed Twenty—ninth street. ‘ On the corner stood young McGowan Waiting far 1101‘. He halted her. What they said no one may ever know. Perhaps he Wanted her to marry him 'at once. She moved to go. He laid his hand upon her arm. She tore herself away. As she did so he pulled a pistol. The avenue echoed with a sudden report. Another shot and still another were fired. Rose lay upon the flag, shot through the head, motionless. Down the street fled her murderer, hiding the pistol in his breast as he ran. . The girl died where she lay. He escaped, but two hours ‘later, as he was making for the Brooklyn ferry at Seventeenth street and Avenue A, he was caught by Central Office Detective Dolan.
