There Is Talk of a Syndicate to Build New Defender, Though Constitution or Columbia May Possibly Again Be Used Against Challenger. New York, Sept. 1.—Expectation of an early challenge from Great Brit ain for another International yacht race for the America’s cup has stirred up speculation in yachting circles. Much secrecy surrounds the plans for the English challenger and the inten tions of the New York Yacht club also are shrouded in mystery. Thene is talk of a syndicate to build a new defender, but it is certain that August Belmont and the yachtsmen associated with him in the ownership of the Constitution will take no part in a new craft. They believe that the Constitution can be improved so that it will be much faster than last year. However, it is argued that the club may feel itself in duty bound to build still another defender and not trust too implicitly to the Constitu tion and Columbia, as, should the chal lenger beat either of these, the club might come in for much adverse crit icism. There is no lack of patriotism or money in the club, and just as soon as the challenge comes to hand vig orous action may be expected. . SAVED FROM WATER FAMINE. Girls Discover Big Break in Time to Prevent Serious Damage. Malden, Mass., Sept. 1.—Presence of mind and courage on the part of a young womato has saved a large part of Malden, and Chelsea, Revere, Ever ett and Nahant from a water famine. The young woman’s name is Miss Jennie Powell. While riding a bicy cle up Maiji street, Malden, she almost ran into a break of the 80-inch main of the metropolitan water system which flooded territory adjacent to Main street, and, hailing the first man she met, called upon him to telephone the news of the accident to the proper authorities at the headquarters of the water department. “Looking ahead of me,” she ex plained, “I saw a column of water shooting up into the air like a geyser. I had just time to turn my wheel to avoid the rush of the stream which came pouring down Main street. “I turned out and around in time to escape injury, however, and rode to the nearest telephone. The water station was notified of the accident, and I reached home unhurt.” So far as the flood itself was con cerned, it was not so resultant in ac tual damage as in the possibilities it presented of several towns becoming cut off from their water supply.

New York, Sept. 1.—A large party returning from the Zion cemetery, Queens county, to this city, became involved in a riot, and about two doz en men, women and children were injured. The trouble slanted shortly after the three trolley cars had left the ceme tery for Long Island City ferry. The conductor of one of the cars, finding it impossible to collect fare from a passenger, brought the car to a stop. An argument ensued during which the conductor was struck on the head with a loaded cane. He called to the motorman, while the passengers ral lied around their comrade. Employes from other cars hurried forward and a fierce fight ensued. Passengers who were not armed with canes drew trowels which some had brought from home to use in the cemetery. After a drawn battle the passengers resumed their seats and the car pro ceeded. The trouble broke out afresh when Calvary cemetery was reached. This time the motormen and conductors were reinforced, and got the better of the argument. Finally the cars were hoarded again and reached Long Island City without trouble. There were a dozen women In the party who were hysterical and had to be treated before they cow’d resume their journey home. Three arrests were made. TROLLEY CARS IN COLLISION.
