Ross won the choice and selected the outside course, explaining ho was afraid the small boats would interfere with him. Hanlan led otT easily and kept a length ahead through the first mile, rowing thirty-one strokes to Rose' thirty. At the one and three-(luarters ting Hanlan etoppid rowing and then made twenty-, nihe strokes to Rous' twenty eight, and soon was three leugthB ahead, llanlan made the turn ? in seven minuter twelve lengths ahead of Ross, one tbird of a mile, llxnlan tlowed up up and took a drink of water. In response to cheers from the press boat Hanlan cried-out: "It's lonesome out here." Rom appeared blown at this tune, and (ieor^eLte pulledalongaiduand talked to him. Hanlan flutohed the four niile? with an easy stroke just as Rops reacht d the three and three-quarter's flag. Tl e otlicial time for the four miles for Hanlan was twenty-seven miuutes fifty seven and a-half seconds; Ross twenty-eight minutes forty-nine seconds. Hanlan was fully u quarter of a mile ahead. FASTEST TIME 01* RKCOBI). It was the fastest time 011 record for the distance with turn. The previous record oHour milts and turn by Mike F. Davis, of Portland, Me. at Silver Lake, October 8ib, 1878, was i!8 minutes and (5j seconds, against Patsy Regan, who was killed by the cars. John Davis, of Toronto, was judge \ for Hanlan, and Charles E. Courtney for Ross. Hanlan asked as a favor that Ross would choore some other judge, but this he declined to do. Haulan came so far ahead that the majority of the fifteen thousand people on the water and shore who saw the race supposed Ross and Lee, who wero pulling together were the contestant*, and that Roes had won the race: This report was telegrlphed all over the country, and au hour after the race the qurstion was asked on the streets and at headquarters, "who won the race." The oflfcial signuls were wrongly given for eotne reason. WANTED TO DO UP COURTNEY. As Hanlan drew up to the referee's boat and heard the otlicial announcement he exclaimed, pointing to Courtney, "Send out that big fellow aud I will make an ex hibition of him Haitian then rowed over to Ross and shook hands. The Asso ciated Press timt-keeper made. Haitian's four miles '11 minutes aud eight seconds, and Rots 28 minutes and 10 seconds. Cottrtney made Haul-n's time 27 minutes and 2 eccond*. Hanlan says the Asso* ciated Press time is correct. Han* lau was introduced to a large crowd in front of his headquarters by referee Hustis. lie made a brief speech saying he had rowed to win and did the best he could as he had always d me, and felt proud of hating made the bast time. Pools sold four to one on Han lan throughout the day. The race was an easy victory far Hanlan. Nothing has been heard this evening of any challenge from Courtney. The water was quite rough, and attimee theewolt from the police boat washed over Hanlan's bow, causing a loss of fl ty lecoada. The race was admirably managed throughout and the crowd behaved excellently. Httnlau u?u ui aluiuur. Oodeksuuhg, ^T. Y., July 18.?It is said Hanlan approached Courtney in his head quarters this morning, and a bad tempered verbal row followed, in which Hanlan is said to have displayed unusual bitternera. He offered to put up $5,000 and row Court nev a square race ou any body of water in America.. Courtney kept cool, and asked Hanlan how much he had to pay for cut ting his boat at Chautanqua, aud, exhibit ing one thousand dollars ollered to bet that he would crowd Hanlan to faster time at Watkins than he ever raadebeforo. Courtney said if Hanlan didn't cut his (Courtney's) boat at Chautauqua, his (Han tan's) money did il. riunlan said Court ney was a liar and a thief. Wallace Ems having appointed Courtney as his judge in the race, Hanlun has made a formal pro test to the committee against Courtney acting in that capacity. ill* IImIIIiix Pfljpie ins Imp I lent.

Nmv Yokk, July 18?Mits Minnie Coombs, a beautiful orphan of seventeen, and au heiress with some $100,000 in her own right, arrived at Long Jiranch from St. Louis, Willi hi r aunt on Monday of last week. They found that at the West Kud, at which it was their intention to atop, no rooms could be obtained; s.> they tooic rooms temporarily at the Morris C Htsge. Just before suudown the other evening Misa Coombs, accompanied by two ladies mid a m.ile CJtisin, went into the surf. The surf waa somewhat rough, hut Mia> Coombs did not heed it When about two hun dred feet from her companion.*, n scream from the young lady told everybody that she waa in danger. Ttie young man, her I cousin, hastened with the ntl er two ladies, who were on tho point of f doting, to the | shore. In the meantime the keep r launched the lifeboat, aud rowed to the girl. Th?? actearns ceased, anil it was.be lieved that the sea had swallowed iier, Suddenly a dark obj-ct waa seen to mount a wave, and a cry whs heard, MIler?! here!" The boat waa Uirefctod towards the spot arid two persons clambered into it. TVv were Miss Coombs aud her rescuer, William Whittlesey, who had been swim ming some din-awe out in therm. He fore the boat reaibed shore Miss Coombs waa cool and collected, pouring out her thanks to her bmve retcutr. Whe? she reached the arms of her aunt, who was standing on the beach, a shout went up from the crowd. The cousin of Miss Coombs approMchetl young Whittlesey, shook him heartily by tho hand and plac ing a well-tilled wallet in Whittlesey's hand, said: "Here, tako this." "Oh, no," replied the young man, "I have only done my duty." He finally consented to accept a gold watch and chain, which the uirl he saved will purchase for him. Whittlesey is twenty-one years of ape, and is a clerk in a railway office at Iowa City. To a reporter Min* Coombs said: "I have been dying all my life to be the victim of some real pood romance, and I guess I nave got one that will last me for some time." Till: OI'KKA IOKV DKNi.MH. No Probnblllly Tlint lliry Will betirnnt <m|?A Strike* Inerllitblr. New Yokk, July 18.?It was announced in the morning papers that a Committee from the Telegrapher's liroth'-rhood would wait on the Western Union Company this morning, to demand an answer to their petition in reference to wages and hours of work. Up to 11:^0 o'clock this morning none of tho committee had appeared. A meeting of the directors of the telegraph company will beheld at 1*2:30 o'clock, and the re*ult,so far asitrefers to the petition, will probably not be known for an hour or two after that time. Mo evidence of un usual excitement among the operators was apparent this morning, although the situ ation is discussed with much interest where* ever a knot of them gather. A feverish feeling exists in telegraphic circles over the threatened strike. Every pers <n interested is anxiously awaiting the result of the meeting of tho Executive Committee of the Western Union Direct ors. A committee of the Brothernood held a meeting early this morning, but what trauepired there could nut be learned. Ci i pher dispatches were received by the Com mittee from various points, stating that tho operators were in readiness to leave their desks at a moment's notice. A STIttKB INKV1TAU1.E. Mr. W. B. Somerville, of tho Western Union Company, said to-day there seemed to bo littlo possibility that the com pany would grant the request, and that a strike seemed to be inevitable. The de mands were unjust and unreasonable, and it the sti ike should happen, Uie company would light it to tbe bitter end. W. J. Dealy, manager of the operating room of the Western Union, said ne did not be lieve the strike would be commenced with out mature delioeration on the part of the ojHjrators. Thin morning there was an un usually large force at work in the otlice, numbering between <500 aud 700. The or dinary number of abeentees is from fifteen to twenty-five, but there were only nine absenteea this morning, lie said lie had at leas: fifty letters from employes of the compauy ptombiug to staud by it in the event of a strike. There were twenty ume chief operators in the oflice, each one having under hint from eighteen to twenty live men. This morning a canvass was made by these chiefs among operators to ascertain, if possible, the real strength of the disallVeted portions aud hew large a force might be relied on in case of a strike. The first report sliowtd that out of 21 oper ators 1- were doubtful and nine promised to stand by tbe company. Later reports iudicate this proportion represented the division of feeling through out the whole force. The Wheatstone op erators even tu a man, Mr. Dealy said, promised to staud by the company in case of a strike. action of Tin: niHKoroiu. At the regular weekly meeting of the Executive Committee of the Directors of the Western Union Telegraph Company to day the followiug w*s adopted: Rewind'That a commit*e consisting of ex Gov. Cornell, J, W. Clendenin aud Jno. T. Terry, be appointed to inquire iuto the complaints of inequalities of com pensation and the conditions ot service of the employes of this company, if any, au'd report to tiiis committee. One of the gentlemen who attended the meeting says the sentiment was unani mous in Bupport of ti-.o action of Geueral Eckert in his reception of the committee wiio calledou him to present thw memorial Monday last, and that his letter to Colonel Clowry, of Chicago, outlining the nositi >u and resources of the comfwny, anu calling attention to the exorbitant demands of that committee, was likewise discussed aud warmly approved. The meeting did not take cognizance of the petition, since it was held ttiat whatever complaints the em ployes of tbe company might huve to make must he made directly by themselves to the company's officers. Tbe sub-coinmit tee is not empowered except to make a re port next week, Wednesday, when the full committee meets wgiin. The composition of the Committeo is, however, oI home interest iw hearing on the temper of tlie meeting and its future action. Cleudenin, one of the members, is president of the Acadia Coal Company, which has extensive mints in Pictou. TV United States miners there have been a turbulent community aud have frequently indulged in strikes. ? Olendenin has always managed these crises and r.ever yielded to the demands made through the medium of a strike. Ex-Governor Cornell aud Terry are also said to be opposed to a strike as a means of settling difliculties. THE WIIKAT8TOXK SYSTEM. Tim Wheatstone is a system of rapid transmission of messages and news. It has been in use many year* in England, but is comparatively a new thing in this country. The inntrutnent will do nearly ten times the work that uan be done over an ordi dinary wire. Should the Wheatotone oper ators remain auil other operators stride thp telegraph company would have considerable i advantage through the use of this system. Members of the Brotherhood claim that nearly all the Wheatstone men are willing to go'out, while the officers of the company say that not more than 2 or 3 of the nine teen local employes and not a large num ber of those elsewhere will consent to strike. The fill nut I " hi I'llthburgli. PtTTSjjufloii, Jnly 18.?The threatened strike of telegraphers and its effect upon business was the universal topic of conver sation iu commercial ami financial circles to-day. All day the vicinity of the Western Union oflice on Fifth avenue was thronged with operators ami curiosity seekers, aud at the noon hour, when it was expected the operators would come out, the crowd was ho'great that for a time the street was blockaded. A great deal of dis satisfaction is exprebsed among the mem bers of the Brotherhood that the strike was not inaugurated, aud the belief is general that unless the demands are conceded to morrow all will quit work.

OnertBult of the strike it is said, will be that the ? manufacturers who are not members of the Manufacturers' Union and whoseshops will not be closed will increase their working force. The members of the Protective Union will re maix flrra to their determination, and thus, through their unwillingness to work with tho twenty six men who they claim violated a promise made to them, over seven thousand persons, h fow of whom are women, will this afternoon bo thrown out of employment, and fifteen cigar man ufactories will be closed.

Standing in front of Music Hull aud looking along Main street to where the v?ssels lie at the docks it looka like one gigautic flower garden. The led, white and blue of America, min gled with the black, white aud red of United Germany, aud the Union jack and Imperial standard line not only this street, but all the others. The unanimity with which business men and private residents outer into the spirit of the occasion aud deck their houses us a sign of welcome to the 50,000 visitors in the city, is remurkable. Nut it nouse is to be seen ou any of the Eriucipal streets that has not some sign ot unting or Hag, while most of them are literally covered, lu front of the new and elegaui Genesee hotel a triumphal cauopy spans the street, which is lighted at nigut by 3,000 gas jets in vari-colored globes, uud aruuud the top are shields bearing the uatues of the various societies of the fc'wn gerbuud. At short intervals summers aud arches exteud across the street bearing the names aud portraits of famous German composers, uud such words as "Wdkom tuen," or " Wilkommeu alle." TIIK MUSIC HALL is a large, elegantly designed and massive building just approachiug completion by the German Yuuog Men's Association. It has so far cost $170,000, aud the contract figures completed aud furnished are $200, 000. Its capacity is 0,050, exclusive of a portion of tUe auditorium now utilized as au aunex to the stage. Owing to its un tinished condition the salo of seam has been restricted'to 5,000 lor each perfur mauce. Its acoustic properties are simply , penect, the moat delicate shading olsouud in the solos being plainly audible to the, remote-1 teats. It is voted by many of the' Wheeling visitors a decided improvement ou the Cincinnati building. The oascu.eut isnow^arrangedasa lunch room for the societies, while ample dr*sc iugrooms, a large press-room, private offi ces for the committees, etc., leave a large part of the building unoccupied. The gal leries ope i upou a broad verandah where the audience can take the air in the iuter mitsions. The prese-room also eouihiuui cates with the main gallery, and wheu the large doors between are open the choruses cau be well enjoyed there. The hall stauds at the head of Main street, and U surrounded ou the sides by maples, larches aud elms. A much moie delightful place for a cip.igcnest could not well be imagined. TUB WHEELING SOCICTIK8. The organisitious preseut all have some sort of distinguished uniform. Most of them huve society hats, one a pearj dicer, one a white plug, oue a low crowned yel low linen, etc. Que society carries Jap anese umbrellas, aud another white sun umbrellas. The Wheeling societies rtgrai having purchased straw hats, for the strong lake bretze makes it almost impossible to keep them ou the head. This bretie pre* vails all over the city to-day, and the au- is delightfully cool. The boys have found a saloon on Main street where they keep beer "just like hey mann's," and consequently when oue wants to find a Wheeling crowd haudy he just dropsiu there. The Anon, Beethoven and Germauia societies are quartered on Washington street at a concert hull und restaurant. t is au attractive enough place, but its inmates crowd it. I dropped in lust night as they were retiring, j hey are all quartered in oue large room, wheio they sleep on cots, or rather lie ou cols, for they uver there was little sleep last night.

One of the members of the Opera House llaud got up this morning, after perspiring all night ou a pillow maJe of gay colored calico, with the pattern tirmly tixed on his cheek. It's lots ol fun, though, and the boys think by going to bed early and getting up lute they cau stand it a week. The Mwunercbor is more fortunate. They have a room to themselves, with plenty of space to drew stand it)#- They liave ulso lots of pretty girl waiters, A suspicion prevails that the cjmmitteeknew tney were all single. The Miuonerchora wear light soft lull hats, and are voted "regular dandies." Many of the other societies have secured private rooms to-day. A number of la dies accompanied their hu?bauds or fathers, and they are also comfortably quartered in private r. oms. NOTES AB'Jl'T WHEELING I'KOI'LE.

The .Doctor is grayer, but the resemblance, particularly the back view the audience gets, iscertainly striking. Mr. Aug. Neihausen, formerly of Wheel ing, sang this afternoon with the New York Schillerbund. The members of the Press will have a special train to Niagara on Friday, antl will view Thursday's grand procession from their room at Music Ilall, after which they will drive to the picnic in car riages. Visitors find no lack of amusements here, but the most popblar divei>ion is going on excursions. Vou can 11 (i at least two ex cursions every day to points of interest Niagara, Ubautanqua, the Tnmmad Is lands, lake rides, etc. Their hunger for excursions is already proverbial.

Iu company with Sergeant Humphrey the detective proceeded to No. 333 Silver (street, where Mr. Walker's daughter waa working as a domestic. The girl waa arrested and taken to tbe Central Police Station, and there met her father. The meeting was very affecting, aud tbe erring child left with her parent on the 2:30 train. Miss Walker came here a week ago with one Ash, a negro, who was her father's coach man, for whom Miss Walker conceived an unholy aflection and with whom she sloped from Martin's Ferry, four weeks ago.^ The illy matched pair struck Cleve land*'^ broke. Ash procured a situation as a cook in a 10-cent hash foundry and the girl procured a position in the mechauical department of a private family. Mr. Walker, father of the girl, is a well to-do farmer, and feels keenly the deep disgrace which his daughter bus brought upon herself. Mr. Walker did not take his brunette, alleged son-in-law home, but leaves him here totakecare of himself. II the pair were married a divorce proceed ing will ensue. The parties referred to in the above are the sauie ones tha' were written up by the Cleveland and Pittsburgh papers of Mon day as Mis* S.tndford and Frank Smith, of near Wheeling, and who were further written up by the Wheeling papers on Tuesday. One thing is certain, they do not come from this vicinity. From ad vices received by the Intelligence!* tin rc is no doubt but what they are from Vir ginia. The father is heartbroken and the mother of the girl crazy. Am a matter of course they desire no* publicity of their troubles, aud iu this they are being aided by the police The colored man has a brother-in-law in this vicinity.

The most important numbers were sung by Max Uenycl, Sehell and Graham. Tne Star Spangled Burner was maLg'ed; every body was disappointed in it, even the singers themselves. The Arion and a ma jority of the Beethovens went to Niagara this afternoon anil tho train was delayed till 01'. m., too late cosing. The Uenuania went to the park this afternoon with the Opera House Hand, and entertained a large crowd, including New York and De troit societies.

Clahksijuiio, W. Va., July 10.? The Farland mine to, in a certain sense, the criterion for mines in tliia vicinity. It is so perfectly aired, so thoroughly dried that, as a small mine, it is regarded as one of the best hereabouts. The Wilsonburg mines are situated some live miles from Clarksburg on the Parkersburg branch of the U. U. They are named in honor of Col. Wilson, Ex-Congressman from this district, who formerly resided here. The town is a mere humlet, having a postofHce, two or three grocery stores, and, perhajv, a score of houses. The mine is owned and operated by the Mooougahela Gas Coal Company, of which Isaac George is Presi dent and E. D. iioflinau Secretary. Tne cilices o( tho company are in Baltimore. The mines were opened in 1872, and im mediately attracted attention by tne super ior quality of coal put out. The mine opening is on the side of a ravine, half a mile from therailroad, and is reached by au inclined plane and (mmway. Mr. John Tenipla, the present mine bos?, has been in charge two year*. Under his uflieient man* agement the mine is in a better shape than ever before. Tho tramways are well laid, what little water there is is carefully drained away, the air is good, and the men satisfied. The coal is uu eight-foot vein, usually Iree from sulphur anu other impurities. The ten ders on tne B. & O., i'arkersburg branch, are coaled heie. For several years the coal was stripped East in large quantities fur gas purposes, but the freight rates prov ing a serious obstacle, large shipments weie abandoned, and thirty coke ovens erected. At the present time eouiu-JOmeu ate employed iu and about the mine, half the full lorce. Only lair wages are made by the miners, owing to the depretsiou iu the coke business. The ovens turn out about 1200 tons of excellent coke per mouth. Most of the uien working at these mines have been here fur a long time, and ttie new comers are sober, industrious, men. 1 am informed tbat the miners at this point are among the most thrifty, en ergetic and intelligent on all tlie line. There is scarcely onu but .that can read, and the number of papers and periodicals coming here is unusually larae, The tip ple and dumping aruugetneuta are very complete, and constructed to save the la borer as much as pjtsible. (Should the coke interest look up, a large additional number of ovens will be erected, as the cjiupnuy has an almost inexhaustible sup ply ol coal, having 1,000 acres of coal laud liere iu one body, ouly a very small por tion of which baa beeu worked. The de pression iu the business is very sensibly telt here, and some fears are expressed for tbe future. It a mtiefactory rale could be ubuuned for coke west, all these mines would at once go into coke on an exten s.ve scale. MUlU'UY BUN. Tne Murphy huu mines are two inilee east oi Clarksburg. In speaking of these mines (be common practice is to call them the " Wakemau Mines," but the company operating them, a Baltimore corporation, is known as the Alurnhy Coal and Mining Company. Charles Kyle is the Eastern representative, and truger \V. Smith, ol this place, is the superintendent The coal is in a niue foot veiu, and has an enviable reputation as a gas coal. At present 125 tons per day are mined, the bulk going to the Mannattan, 2s\ Y., lias Company, which lor fourteen years has used this coal. In former years large quantities were sold at Washington for Government, use, but of late years tne tlrm hts allowed this trade to escape them, on account of annoyance growing outol interferences by lobbies and various oovernment employes. The coal, like all the coal in this vicinity, is not heavy with sulpbur, and presents a clear "head." Considerable water is onoount ered, and in some portions tf the mine the air is bad owing to causes wnich had their origiu before tne present company began wotk. As fas', as possible the causes are being removed, aud Mr. Kichard Pike, the roiue boss, is beBding every energy to this task. llu is making many very decided and valuable changes that cunuoi but prove boneflcial to those em ployed in the mine. The entrance is but a u few yards from the railroad, aud the dump is arranged with reference to speedy woik aud saving oi labor. At present some sixi.v people are employed herd. Tne company is awaiting a thorough test of the coke ovens in this neighborhood, and if tiie industry proves profitable, undoubtedly a large number ol ovens wilt be built Here and 1 am iuchned to think that the B. AO. is endeavoring to lorce the mines in tnis section iuto this busiues. It will prevent any competition witli tneir coal trade, and till their empty west bound cars with pay lug insight. A well informed gentleman ot Clarksburg, a man who has carefully studied the situation, aud has for vears watched the couise ot the B. & U., informs me tbat lie is couvinced that the road has been lor years gradually crushing out the coal business Here, witu the view of some day getting hold ol tlie coal lauds for their own use, but tbat the springing up of the coke business played havoc with tneir plans, wnich he thinks, accounts for their Vacillating course on coke freights. Mr. Stnitb, the Superintendent of the Murphy Kun mines, is a practical busiues man, aud to bis uutiring efforts is due much of tbe success ol the busiuess. A FINK MINE. One of the beat managed and constructed large mines 1 have seen in the Statu id the Despard mines, just below the Murphy mine, luid out witli mathematical exact ness. Every entry is laid olT by the com pass. For six years one man, Michael Ford, has worked in one heading, driving it 2.$00 leet in un air line. No one has at, sisted him f >r a day, and the heading is known as "Ford's Air Course." Parallel to and fifty foet from all the entries, which are six in uumber, is a wide gallery. From this gallery the rooms are reached. Two shafts also aid iu furnishing air I have never been in u mine where the air is so pure and fresh. In a tramp of govtral miles ever tnia vast mine I found scarcely a drop of water, the little I saw being at the entrance. Not u room, gallery or htading contained a drop, save at the shafts, where it came from ab >ve. Some idea of the vast amount of work done in this underground storehouse of wealth may be gathered the fact that one entry is a mile in length, and the combined length of the entries, and galleries is ten miles. Twenty mules are r? quired to haul out the 300 tons of coal mined here daily. The tramways are all of T rails, made at the Riverside Works, Wheeling. The roof is high, the track per* feet ani} the claim is boldly made that this is the best conducted large mine in West Virginia, and after an examination extendi ing over thre*quarters of the dnv, I am ihclined to think tl|e claim Is well fouuded. A serious nroident has never occurred in the twenlydlve years the m ne has been worked. There aro men in it who have worked ht-re for twentj.'hree year?, and they all atreo that foul air hai never been | encountered. An f ffer of $10 for a drop of j W4ter to be fouud iu any room or gallery, if kept standing. Sixty ineu are employed in the mine including the drivers. An unusually large proportion are for eignera. quite a number being unable to speak English. The men average about six tons per day. dug from a nine-foot vein. The bora la Mr. John Latatetter. who has had charge for eleven years, and is one of the beat practical bosses in the State, beiuir a graduate of a prominent Germau college, an engineer, having worked in European mines, and a man of firt judgment I am under many obliga tions to him and his hoepitable family for favora extended. Tho company is jnat completing eighteen large cuke ovens, which will fa ready for use late in August It ia believed that coke will pay better than coal. The capacity of the oveua is about ninety tons of coke every forty-eight hours.
