The indentation was similar to that the Constitution sustained two years ago. .' .... The Reliance sailed splendidly in today's event. The wind blew more than 20 mil-s an hour, and all three y8chts found that they could not eveo carry small working topsails tb windward, so they went off Bu sier tbe three lower sails.

Murderer Dougherty, who is in jail here sentenced to be hanged Au gust 14, this morning attacked Ed Williams, the alleged fake foot-racer, who was his cell mate, with a razor and almost cut his victim in two at the center of the body. Citi zens here are greatly excited and it seems impossible to avoid a lynch ing or a burning. , The trouble between the two men was the result of jealousy over a mpre or lees morbid young woman of good family who has been in the habit of bringing flowers to Dough erty. Williams impressed the girl favorably and yesterday she brought him a cake. This rankled in the heart of the murderer and bicker ings continued during all last night between the two men." Matters culminated this morning when Williams told Dougherty that he mieht as well give the girl to htm,' as the latter would soon be off the earth under the most favorable conditions- Thia so angered Dough erty that he jumped on Williams and committed his second man- killing act.
