The Defender’s Promise.
The margin of superiority scored by
the new Defender over the improved
Vigilant in Saturday’s trial race was not
great, but it was enough. The Vigilant
with her perfectly fitting sails and her
altered trim is distinctly faster and
handler to-day than at any time since
she was built. The Defender is clearly
a better boat than the Vigilant.
That monarch of American yacht de-
signers, Herreshofi', is to be congratu—
lated. He has snown that he can build
a deep keel boat capable cloulpointing
and outfooting the best center-boarder
that ever cleft American waters under
press of canvas. The csnterboard type
has been dubbed distinctly American,
but we Y ankecs have demonstrated that
in constructing keel racers as well, we
can worthily uphold the orestage of the
Stars and Stripes in the contest where
American pluck and skill have proven
practically invincible for a generation.
It is well not to be over-confident
before the event. Yet few men who
saw the superb Defender sweep tri-
umphantly over the thirty—mile course
. on S-.‘.t'-.I’.'da:.r will doubt her ability to
keep the historic silver trophy on this
side of the Atlantic, And it must be
remembered that the Yankee champion
Is still new to the water, that her sails
are as yet Imperfectiy aijusted, and
that by the time i the actual contest
comes between her powers and the
speed of Valkyrie III, the Defonder’s
racing qualities will undoubtedly be
improved by a series of masterly touch—
es which are likely to have in them the
potency of victory.
Saturday’s Storm.
This city was visited by a severe storm
Saturday night which though Of not
long duration did many hundred dollars
worth of damage. The rain came down
in tone-Amend there was a high wind.
The damage, however, was on the main
caused by lightening which was vivid
and almost continuous.
Several telephone boxes were burnedI
out and box 36 of the fire alarm system
was burned, the relay in the W. U. Tel-
egraph Office was destroyed and minor
damage done to different wire systems
in the city.
The most serious damage occurred at
the Noraalk and South I‘lorwalk Elec-
tric Light station. A larger amount of
the “fluid” than the wires could carry,
found vent in one of the large arma-
tures burning out the same and render-
ing it- unfit for use. It was an armature
used on one of the incandescent'circuits
and all the lamps on that circuit were
extinguished.
11'. L. C. Whitney who has charge of
the plant immediately stated for Lynn,
Mass, to secure a new armature in
hopes that he could have it shipped yes-
terday. If it fails to arrive there will
be no lights on the circuit to-night.
Since the above was in type it is
learned that Mr. \S’hitney was unable
tO'lhEVB the old armature rewound in
‘ less than two Wes-ks, so purchaseda new
machine entire, and will have it shipped
immediately. The expense of a new
machine is something over 851,000. The
old armature will be rewound and kept
in reserve for use in a similar emer-
goncy.

Brothers Quarrel.
A quarrel between two brothers
named, Tanner, living on Knight street
attracted quite a crowd together feet
evening. During: the quarrel Ernest
struck his brother John on the right
leg with a. wagon spoke and it is feared
has lamed him for life. The police
were summoned, and Ernest seeing two
officers coming managed to make his
escape before they could. place him
under arrest. The quarrels between
the two are of frequent occurrence, and
seem to be caused by jealousy that one
receives more attention from the moth-'
er than does the other.
Chief Bradley visited the Tanner
residence this morning and found Er—
nest at home. ilo did not arrest him
but placed him under a promise that he
would be a good boy until Thursday.
In the meantime smoothing will be
done to place the boys where their sur-
roundings will be more in accord with
their moral welfare. ‘

The Superiority of the Britannica is
‘ Manifest to All.
AvocA, PA., Oct. 1st,‘1894.
We purchased the'l’uecord edition of
the EncyclOpedia Britannica some
weeks ago. We made comparisons With
Johnson’s latest work—article with
article—in quite a number of cases. In
every comparison made the superiority
of the Britannica was so manifest, we
each of us oricred a set from the Ite-
cord. We have had frequent occasion
to go to it since, and always with more
satisfaction. The maps are late and
more correct; and the subjects are
much more thoroughly and. satisfactor-
ily treated. ,

“Buy the Britannica and You Will
Make N 0 Mistake.”
PITTSTON, Fa, Sept. 15th, 1894.
I have carefully. examined, with
reference to purchase, cupies of both
Of the Becord’s Edition of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, and also of the John?
son Work. I was pro—disposed in favor
of the Johnson, not only on account of
its being an American Work, but also
by the representation of friends. The
agent of the Johnson set forth its mer-
its in the best light; but I was satisfied
I did not want the work, because of its
scant treatment of subjects of impor-
tance, I sent for the Record agent.
lle brought me copies of both works
that I might compare them side by side.
After a careful comparison, I can say to
those who want more than a more out-
line Of a subject, or who desirc to know
more of the great men of the present
and past ages than the dates of their
birth and death, they will make no
mistake in purchasing the Britannica.

lasted until midnight but did not seem
to cool the air to any appreciable de-

escape from being “smashed into

ing Saturday afternoon by the Pitts-
field down expres . The driver started
the team across the tracks as the gates
were being lowered, and the back end
of the wagon was scarcely ten feet
away when: the train passed by. A
number of persons heard the whistle of
danger and rushing to the street and
glancing at the tracks saw, the danger
of the driver and his team and breathed
a sigh of relief as the train passed by
without striking the horses or wagon.

Clearing Up the Wreck.
The wrecking train and a large gang
or men were engaged yesterday and un-
til this morning in cleaning up the rail-
road wreck at the New Canaan cross-
ing. One of the incidents connected
with the work was the hauling of a car
nearly to the top of the embankment
when the rope broke and the car rolled
down to the bottom of the bank and
some of the workmen narrowly escaped
being struck by the car.
Relics.

in the 60’s. Among the collection are a
rebel canteen made of wood, a well-
known tin canteen used in the Union
service, a sword and a Spencer carbine
and a cartridge box filled with deadly
missiles. The collection is a fine one
and a source of startling recollections
to the owner.

JOH NSON’S CYCLOPEDIA.
What Another Norwalk Teacher
Says of It.
A somewhat careful examination of
many of the articles in Johnson’s Cy-
clopedia convinces me that it is a. work
of rare merit, It is especially valuable
because of the wide range of its topics,
and the concise manner in which they
are written; its brevity is never marked
by omissions. A sample article is that
on Egyptology by the curator of the
Bulak museum, which shows the best
results of modern scholarship. That'
the entire work has been thoroughly
prepared is fully attested by the names
of our foremost scholars, scientists and
specialists that are appended to the
various articles. I can heartily recom-
mend it for school and family use.

PANIC AT Ill FUNERAL
Exciting Scenes In Sofia. During the
Stambuloff Obsequies.
A CRISIS AT THE CEMETERY.
Collision of the Factions Barely Prevented
by a. Company of Cavalry—The Ex-
Premier’s Assassination May Pre-
cipitate War In the Balkan. ‘
SOFIA, July 22.—The funeral of ex-
Premier Stambulofi yesterday was the oc-
casion of exciting scenes in the streets.
The police Were under orders of M. Stoil—
off, the present premier and minister of
the interior, to take all precautions to in-
” sure tranquility along the route. Detach-
ments occupied the side streets, keeping
out of sight of the crowds and of the pro-
cession.
The friends of M. Stambulofi', their
wives and the members of their house-
holds, assembled at 2 o’clock at the mur-
dered man’s house. where the coffin rested,
covered by numberless. garlands and
wreaths of flowers. About 3 o’clock the
cortege started for the cathedral. Repre-
sentatives of all the foreign povvers except
Belgium followed the funeral train. The
attendance of mourners and of the general
public was small, owing to the notice
placarded the evening before detailing ac—
cusations leveled against the deceased
and urging the people not to take part in
the obsequies.
Three hundred paces from the house of
mourning the spot was reached Where M.
Stambulofi fell by the daggers of the as.
sassins. The cortege was hailed, and M.
Petcoff, who was with the deceased states-
man When he was attacked, and who was
himself wounded, made a speech to the as-‘
scmblage. His head and arm were wrap-
ped With bandages, Where he had been
stabbed on Monday. In an impassioned
harangue he charged the enemies of Bul-
garia. with the terrible crime of murdering
the man to whom the country owed her
independence and the prince his throne.
He was still speaking when a. loud cry was
raised:
“Run for your lives!”
A terrible panic ensued, and the crowd
became frantic and made a. rush to escape,
every one believing that fighting had be-
gun. Mon and women fell and were tram-
pled upon, and the children carrying
wreaths in a part of the procession throw
down the flowers and. fled, screaming. A
detachment of gendarmes rode up at afast
trot, with swords drawn. For a. moment
their appearance increased the panic, but
after awhile they succeeded in restoring
or'der.
Nevertheless, when the prooessionwas
reformed and had resumed its march, it
had lost many of its adherents, all the for-
eign diplomats having retired except the
representatives of Germany, Servia and
Roumania.
The funeral train had hardly started
again when a second panic broke out,
causing another confusion, which decimat-
ed thc ranks of the procession. Wreaths
were thrown away and trampled .under
foot, While the bearers fled.‘ Some order
was again reestablished, the bedragglcd
garlands were gathered up, and the ceme-
tery was finally reached.
Here there was a. shocking scene. The
enemies Of M. Stambuloif and the friends
Of Major Panitza, whowas executed some
years since for conspiracy at the instance
of M. Stambulofi, had organized a hostile
demonstration against the dead statesman.
Tho grave of Panitza had been decked
with flowers and flags, and a. large crowd,
who had been attending a. requiem to his
memory, assumed a. menacing attitude in
the path of the hearse. A detachment of
cavalry gailoped up just in time to prevent
a collision.
When the grave was reached, the coffin
was lowered in silence. There Was no ora-
tion over the remains and no ceremony
to mark the delivery to the earth of the
former powerful ruler of Bulgaria beyond
the booting and hurrahs of a band of his
enemies, Who were only prevented from
attacking the remains by a. cordon of cav-
alry which surrounded the grave.
It is said that the panic was started by
a shot at the carriage bearing the wreaths
sent by the town of Tirnova and by the
Union club, from which Stambuloff was
going home on the fatal night.
“'ar May Explode. ,
BERLIN, July 22.—-The news of the
murderous assault upon M. Stambuloff,
the distinguished Bulgarian statesman,
fell like a. live bomb in the midst of the
state of political calm reigning here for
sometime past, depressed the bourse and
caused general consternation. Some idea
of the effect of the startling news from
Bulgaria may be gathered from the fact
that a. high official of the foreign office
said to your representative today:
“Within a. month war in the Balkan
peninsula. may explode. ’ ’
Be that as it may, it is feared here that
the murder of the ox-premicr of Bulgaria
will load to‘ grave complications ’in the
east. Many of the German newspapers are
very outspoken in the matter and attrib-
ute the crime to Russia.
Emperor William was in Sweden when
M. Stambulofi was attacked, and in addi-
tion to being kept fully informed regard-
ing the situation by the means of dis-
patches sent to him twice daily by cou-
riers, two officials of the foreign office were
sent to Sweden on Thursday with special
messages. On Wednesday, it appears, the
emperor intended to return to Berlin and
was with some difiiculty dissuaded from
so doing by the plea that his hasty return
might, in the present disturbed state of
politics, have an unintended effect. Many
dispatches relating to Bulgaria have been
exchanged between the foreign ofiices of
Germany and Austria.
