K i n g E d war d Was on Board at the Time. STATEME N T MADE BY LIPTON. Sir Thom na Say s He Will Race Even 11 He Han to Build a New Boat Asks New To rk Yacht Clab For Ex- tension of Time. Southampton , May 23. — The most dramatic inc ident in the history of the America ' s cu p occurred yesterday afternoon , w hen a sudden squall on t he Solent completely wrecked the new chal lenger and endangered the lives of Kin g Edward and severa l distin- guished persons , including Sir Thomas Lipton. The result o f this disaster, w hich could scarcely recur without great loss o f life , can best he ju d g ed by t he following statement made late last ni ght by Sir Thomas Lipton: \My dee pest regret is that to-day ' s accident prevents me from toein g the mark at the appointed hour and com- pe ls me to ask the Xew York Yacht , elub to grant me an extens ion of time. If they will be good enough to do that, I shall race , even if I have to bu ild a boat between now an d the date agreed u pon. 1 still believe the Shamrock II a boat worthy to be the challenger and that when this unfortunate c hapter of accidents co m es to an end s he will stand a good chance of lifting the cup. I have not a s ingle complaint to make aga inst the boat. \For the man y telegrams of sympa- t hy received from America today I am deeply grateful. No one is more thank- ful than I am that the cata n trephe ended without fatality, an d I may per- haps say that throu ghout the trying moments h is majesty was as brave as a l ion. His lin ft thought was to in- quire if any one was injured. \ Story ol the Cut u xtrophe . The story of the catastrophe is best told by S ir Thomas himself. After see- ing his royal guest o ff for London h« said , in answer to inquiries : \We had just begun to make for the start ing line when a fierce breeze s prang up. King Edward. Lady Lon- donderry , Mrs. Jameson , Mr. 'Wa tson. Mr. Jameson and myself were on deck , hanging on as best we might, for tlw cha llenger was almost at an angle ol 45 de grees. The king started to go be- low. Just as he d id so everything col- lapsed. A heavy block fell between the two ladies , an d a wire rope struck me on t he head and temporarily stunned me. A sudden squall , an unexpecte d stra in, and everything had given way. King Edward was half in and half out of the companion hatchway. What hap pened , how all the falling spars and swee ping sails did not kill or sweep some one over b oar d , is more than I know. When I came to , I saw the kin g clam bering over the wreckage , trying to d iscover the extent of the damage and askin g, 'Is any one hurt ? \ It is further learned that Sir Thomas ' first utterance on coming to was th is ardent ad juration to Mr. Watson: \Telegraph for more spars. \ve have got to sail on Aug. 20 , and t his boat has got to do it. \ The Kin s Is Cool. When the d istinguished participators in the m ishap had been safel y trans- ferred to the Erin , the king ' s first re- mark was: \When shall we sail again , Lipton?\ an d before his maj esty started for Lon- don his last word s to Sir Thomas were: \When you next sail , I am going with you. \ In fact , his ma jesty seemed keenly to en joy the unusual spice of danger into which his love of s port had led him . After the accident and when he had as- sured himself that everybody was sa fe , he calml y lighted another ciga r and cont inued smoking. Later he steamed around the wrecked vessel and careful- l y inspected the broken bobstay. The crowd which gathered at the railwa y station to witness his ma jesty take t he train sang, \God Save the K ing. \ SHAMROCK II WRECKED REGRET FOR ACCIDENT . Cablegrams Between Lipton and Comm odore Ledyard. New Yor k , May 23. —Commodore Led- yard of the New York Yacht club last night received the following cablegram from S ir Thomas Lipton: \Re gret had very bad acciden t today •with new Shamroc k , tout than kful no- body in jured . Fear will render it im- possible keep engagement Aug. 20 , but hope cable tomorrow after consultation with designer and builders. Am afraid will be necessary ask for few weeks ' grace. Am very distressed at possibili- ty of giving \ t he club trouble. \ Commodore Ledyard cabled the fol- lowing reply to Sir Thomas: \We all sincerely regret new Sham- rock' s accident. Glad no one in jured and trust result to yacht is not ser ious. Will await furth er advices from yon before any action. \ Secretary J. V. S. Oddle of the New York Yacht club had somet hing to say last n ight regarding the friendly feel- ing for Lipton that would cheer him up could he have heard it far more than the formal cable messa ge sen t In res ponse to his signal of distress. \The affair now rests with the chal- len ge committee , \ sa id Secretary Od- die. \That committee will meet and extend every courtesy possible to Sir Thomas. White we all would be very sorry for any delay in . the races , I can say that any and all c hanges will be made to conform with the wishes of Sir Thomas. He is a gentleman and a sportsman , and whatever he asks will be granted! , I have no doubt. It is for us now to meet his requirements. \ Henrik Ibsen Ha» Paraly s e.

Shudders At His Past. \I recall now with horror , \ says Mail Carrier Burnett Mann , of Levanna , O.. \ my three years of suffering from Kid- ney trouble. I was hardly ever free from dull aches or acute pains in my back. To stoop or lift mail sacks made me groan .

They arrived at the railroad company ' s shops at Morris Park last Thursday. Number 1 was \ set up \ at once and was given its first trip on the road on Saturday afternoon , going out as far as Hicks- ville. The others are to follow in quick succession . The new engines are built for fast passenger service. They are of grea t steaming capacity, and , havin g cy linders 19 inches in diameter , with 72-inch driving wheels , they are capable of making and maintaining high speed with heavy loads. Boiler an d tender capacity are immense. Tne locomotives are of the Atlantic type , the most mod- ern in use. It is understood that the new engines will be used on the Mon- tauk Division of the road , being too heavy for some of the bridges of the North Side , and especially well adapted for use on the longest runs. You w ill waste time if you try to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starvin g yourself. That only makes it worse when you do eat heartily. You always need plenty of good food properly di ge- sted . Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the re- sult of years of scientific research for something that would digest not only some elements of food bat every kind. And it is the one remedy that will do it. S.

The first signs of weakening by the striking engravers of the Fahys Watch- case Manufactory at Sag Harbor , was manifeste d this week , when Charles Hie , one of the local engraving trade union , left town and accepted work in the branch engraving department of the firm in New York. William Affron , of Sag Harbor , until quite recen tly a mem- ber of tha.trade union , is foreman of the branch shop, and withdrew from the Watchcase Engravers ' Association to serve the interests of the Fahys ' firm. At the branch , four non-union men are now working regularly. The eig hty . engravers of the Fah ys factory have now been out on strike in defense of their anion over two months; many have gone away to seek employment in other lines of trade until the present difficulty is settled; still others . are working at odd jobs around the village , but for the greater part the men are idle. .

The Bab ylon Town Board decided last Friday to give a release of interes t in 465 lots of land at L' .ndenhurst to C harles N. Peed of Brooklyn , who was the orig i- nal owner , and t hreatened suit to re - cover. The town secured the lots in 1896 at a tax arrear sale. In a partition to the Town Board , Mr. Peed charged irregularity of assessment aud errors as to ownership , which caused the property to become in arrears for taxes. The record of the local justices ' court for this week , reported in an other col- umn , seems to verify the predi ction that more lawlessness would result under strict prohibition than under a well regulated system of license. With three weeks of the liquor embargo , more than half the number of cases of drnnkeuess that appear on the police docket for the whole of last year -under license , have been before the police court. —Sag Har- bor Corrector. The barn of David S. Valentine , at Huntington , on the turnpike , was broken into Sunday night the same date as the robbery at Oakdale.
