Maris, representing the Carolina l’fcht Club of Charleston, clearly outsail ed the Dragoon, representing the Favan- Yacht Club, over the Wilmington liter coure* yesterday afternoon, winning w.ißh 7 minutes 56% seconds, corrected time, to spare. The Dragoon had a stern chase lrr the start, and never was she in the le/ad. 'Shis is the official record made up by the tiife keepers: tyragoon crossed the line at. 12:53:27%. dfcaris at 12:53:28%. ’Haris rounded Cabbage Island stake bqft at 3:11. Dragoon rounded at 3:15. Maris rounded Joes Cut stakeboat at 8:32:15. Dragoon rounded at 3:37:30. Maris rounded Cabbage Island stakeboat at 4:02. Dragoon rounded at 4:11. Maris crossed starting line at 4:50:37 1 {;. Dragoon crossed at 5:1j1:47 , 2- The elapsed time of the race was 4 hours. 6 minutes and 10 seconds; time al lowance for the Dragoon was 4 minutes. 13V* seconds. The Maris’ actual time de feat of the Dragoon was 12 minute- and 10 seconds. Her corrected time was 7 min utes, seconds. The course was from an imaginary off Turner’s Rock to a stakeboat anchored near the Cabbage Island spltbuoy. then to a stakeboat anchored at Joe s <. ut, back to the Cabbage Island si.ikebn.it, and then to the starting lin< . This is twen it knots, or about 24 land miles, and. a-- spite the calm weather, they had for a while, the yachts sailed the course in u little more than four hours, leaving in average of nearly six miles on hour. !• rorn the Cabbage Island stake x>at to the star.- ing line, there is a stretch of .-mom t ight knots, and, with a rather stiff southeast breeze over Iter port quarter and abeam, the Maris covered tt in a little less than an hour. The boats can go about twelve knots an hour in strong winds The race inspired < great deal of in terest. Probably forty craft of all sizes and descriptions watched the speedy sin gles tickers, everything from a big. id*- wheel, excursion steamboat to a naphtha launch, being out with passengers. The Clifton and the Alpha, chartered by the Savannah Yacht Club, and under the man agement of the Regatta Committee, of which Col. Merritt W. Dixon is the’effi cient chairman, were comfortably crowd ed, while the Santee, the Loretta. the Mermaid and the Bessie May, were the other steamers that followed the flyers. A perfect swarm of Failing craft dotted t a** water, number of them being natty representatives A|f the Carolina Yacht Club. Among Charleston ladles who saw the race were Mrs. Rawlins Lowndes. Mrs. Mayo Read. Mrs John H. Marshall. Miss Darby, Miss Frost, Miss Brawley and Miss Carroll. Among the gentlemen w- re Messrs. Henry Frost. Mayo Read. John Marshall, Ju.llan Mitchell, Jr .

Maher, the little reveni • steamer Ty bee was placed at the service of the Sail ing Committee, which judged the race. Aboard her were Chairman Frank Jones, and Mr. H. D. Stevens of the Sailing Committee; Mr. W. D. Simkins, Mr. < Noble Jones, Mr. Allan Bond. .Mr. William Pratt and Capt. T. S. Wylly of the Timers’ Committee; Judge A. H. Mac- Donell, Col. B. W. Wrenn and o repre sentative of the Morning New . The Ty bee was delayed half an hour in reach ing the Yacht Club, because of an alarm of fire from box No. 8 having been turned in just as she was on the point of leaving the city. The Tybee responded to this alarm, and Lieut. Maher could not get away until he learned that the boat would not be needed for tiro service. Mg h t*e*r* Disappointed. Had it not been for the extremely squally appearance of the sky during the forenoon, it is probable that more would have been out to see the race. Shortly before 11 o’clock then* was a In avy show er at the Yacht Club, and the sightseers left for the* starting point as soon as it was over. The Dragoon had tire •< ded ttMNtt by about an hour, under her own sail, while the Maris was towed down, leaving about 10:4f o'clock by the Winona. The Clifton and the Tybee were about the last to get away from the club house, and, gathered at the starting point and on the way down, there must then have been nearly 1,000 spectators. Several of the boats, the big steamers among them, had made the trip from the oily with their parties, taking up reinforcements at the club house. Sunnily at the ‘'tart. Nearly all the way down there wore in termittent squalls, the wind being pretty strong at times. There was something about the look of things, though, that induced the experts to declare that there would soon b- a practical calm, and this prediction was verified not long utter the 3tart. Some time was lost after the arrival of the Tybee at the starting point, in getting the atakeboat properly anchored. In the meantime the Dragoon was flying alioiit, running here and there, ami winning no little admiration b\ her sailing, and Hie way she was hand). I. (’apt.

Entire Dcpnrlincnt Turned Out in |{e*pnn*e to Itov S. The entire fire d< partment was called out at 10 o’clock yesterday morning to a small fire at 114 Bryan street, west, near "Whitaker street. The box pulled was No. S, at Bay and Whitaker streets, and the orders are for the entire depart ment when this call is sound el. This is because of the number of large commercial buildings located in this vi cinity, and also the number of disastrous tires which have occurred there in recent yea is. The firemen found only a small blaze in the roof of the wholesale liquor store conduct- and by Col John Juchter. The fire was in the roof at the western end of the building and there seems to be little doubt But that it was caused by dead wires, probably those of the Burglar Alarm Company, which had become crossed at some point further away with a live trol ley or electric light wire. The fire evi dently reached the roof from the cross aims supporting these wires. The blaze was quickly finished by the firemen with the chemical hand extinguishers. The damage is slight. The building is owned by Mr. J. D. Weed. The turning out of the entire department caused a large crowd to gather, as is usually the case, in fact, when box h sounds. Col. Juchter is in New' York on his way to Europe, where lie expects to spend the summer. TO RECEIVE lILSHOI* li KILE Y. The trrn ngemenl* Completed for the lleeeptlon This Afternoon.

COTTON OIL REFINERY BORNEO SOUTHERN OIL COMPANY A LOS EH BY $150,000. Fire Broke Out Suddenly In Roof of Refinery Building and spread Rapidly—Fire Department AVas Called I pon for Aid and Rendered Ya lun Lie A Mint a nee—tiood V\ rk 1> Mr. Kve Saved a Considerable Lons on Oil—The Eoyornble Direc tion of the Wind and tiood Work bj tlie Firemen Saved the Large and Valuable .Mill Blunt From De struction—Lo In Fully t overed by Insurance and building Will Be Keliuilt. The entire refinery p ant of the South ern Cotton Oil Company, w> st of the city, together with the barrel plant and soap factory, an i the Wesson oil storage house, was destroy*'! by lire yesterday afternoon, with a total loss of $1 50,C00. The large crude oil manufacturing plant of the company, and its n nv rous storage tanks are practical y uninjured. The loss is chiefly to buildings and fna ohinery, the large amount of oil in the tanks in the refinery building having been pumped out after the fire begun as the result of tho coolness and good judgment of one of the employes. Otherwise the loss would have been much greater. The loss is fully covrred by insurance, placed with local and Northern agents. The origin of the fire is unknown, though some of the employes have an in definite idea to the effect that the build ing was struck by ligh'ning during the heavy thumb: rsterm, which prevailed be tween 1 and 2 o’cloc k. There was a blind ing flash of lightning, and a heavy crash of thunder in the vicinity of the mill dur ing the thunderstorm, and some of the employes expressed the opinion then that the building had been struck. it was nearly an hour later, how- ver, when the lire was discovered. The tire was first seen near the roof of the three-story refinery building, about 2:30 p. m. Several of the employes ap pear to have sef?n the blaze about tHe same time. Knowing the inflammable character of the materials there, there was naturally som<- excitement. , The blaze was a small one, however, and as the company is equipped for such emer gencies, the tirefighting apparatus was gotten out, and work begun at once. The flames spread very rapidly, and were soon beyond the control of the company’s force. Seeing the state of affairs, Sunt. W. C. Petty, who was in charge, tele phoned the Savannah lire department for assistance. Supt. Maguire*responded with the big engine and hose wagon from head quarters. It is a long run to the oil works, over a good road, however, and the whole upper floor of the refinery building was in flames when the engine arrived. Seeing the state of affairs, Supt. Maguire telephoned an order for an alarm from box 52, calling out all the northern section of the department, except the chemical engines. Owing to the long run to the works and ' the difficulty of getting water after their arrival the firemen had no show at saving the refinery. In fact, with the inflamma ble character of the materials stored there it is doubtful if they could have accom- ; pii shed anything with this building after; the flames once obtained a hold. Good I work was done, however, in preventing ! the spread of the flames to the other I buildings, several of which adjoined very 1 closely, nn.l for this Superintendent Ma guire and his men received Hie hearty thanks of Manager L. W. Haskell and the other officials of the company. Lmkily for the oil company the large drain leading across the grounds had be come choked during the thunderstorm and was filled with water. Ascertaining that the artesian \yoll at the works could be fed into this drain Superintendent Ma guire at once arranged for this and put the large engine to work. A hydrant was discovered in the field some distance west : of the works on the large main leading from the old waterworks. It had not been used in years and some time was lost in making a connection, but this was finally accomplished. No water could be pro vided for the third engine and it was sent hack to the city. There was a high wind from the north west. which helped the flames, but carried them away from the main buildings of the mill. In a shift of the wind to the east, however, the heat set fire to the frame, building us and for . inning and storing the Wesson oil. and this building: was eaten up by the flames in short order. It con tained several thousand dollars worth of the Wesson oil, hut the loss here was small as compared with the refinery. The refinery was 200 feet in length by 60 in width and was filled with valuable machinery for refining the crude oil. con verting it into salad and other edible oils. The older portion of the building, which was entirely of brick, was used in part as the soap-making plant. This is praci cally a total loss, though parts of the walls will doubtless be made use < f in re building. The extension to this building was of brick and wood covered with gal vanized iron. It burned fiercely and two hours after the fire started was simply a mass of twisted iron lying upon the brick friinrTfltinn.. Mr. Hammond Eve. who has charg* of the pumping department of the works, showed great judgment and presence of mind, which resulted in a large saving to the company. As soon as he discovered the dangerous character of the tiro he put the pumps to work and soon had nil the val uable oil in the refinery transfers and to the tanks, which are practically fireproof. This piece of good work on the part of Mr. Eve was mentioned with de ido l ap proval by Mr. Haskell. Mr. Haskell and Mr. G. F. Tennille, the chief chemist, were both at the yacht race. Word was got to them as soon as j>osslble. and they made haste to get to the works, reaching there about 6 o'clock. They anticipated a very si rious state of affairs, and l>oth were wed pleased to find that only the refinery had been destroyed and that the remainder of the valuable plant was practically out of danger. “The total .loss is about $150,(X0.” said Mr. Haskell to a Morning N- \vs reporter who saw him at the scene. “The refinery barrel shed and soap factory ore prac tically a total loss. The loss is chiefly on buildings and machinery, the stock of <>il in the refinery having mostly been pumped out by the good work of Mr. Eve. The Wesson oil storage house w as also burned. The loss is fully covered by insurance. There is no serious loss on stocks of oil.” “The loss might have been much more serious one,” said Mr. Haskell. “We have always been apprehensive If there should he a tire the whole plant would go. The mill ar.d adjoining bull lings are practlea.iy uninjured, and the tanks are unhurt. I am very well phased indeed that 1 1 i* tire men were able to .isolate the fire. The val ue of the entire plant is n arl\ SI.<HV>,OOO, with about s7s<Mioo Insurance There is a very large stock of oil on hand.” Mr. Haskell thanked Supt Maguire for the effective aid rendered by the tire de partment. The mill being be von* I the city limits, the department could have declined to respond, and this fact made the service.rendered the more appreciated. Supt. Maguire expressed regrets that lie was not notified of the full extent of the danger at once, in order that the full available strength of the department for the work migiht have been brought fo the scene promptly. Mr. Haskell remark I *-1 that if the refin ery had to be burned, it was very for tunate that it should occur just at this time, the season’s* work being practi cally concluded, and there being sufficient time in which to rebuild before the open ing of the next season.- The company will undoubtedly rebuild, he said. The refinery was one of the most complete ot any owned by the company, being used in the production of the finest oils Th* greater part of It was almost new. hav- Ilng been in operation little more than a year. Mr. Eve, who has charge of the pump- ing department, was tio busy pumping t ha oil from the refinery to a place of safety, that he failed to save his bicycle, and clothing which w'ere in the office of the burned building. SIX WILL HE GRADUATED. ( losing Exercises of St. Vincent** Academy on .lone 27. The graduating exercises of St. Vin cent’s Academy will take place at the theater at 6:30 o’clock, on the evening of Wednesday, June 27. At that time a class of six young women will be graduated and receive the diplomas to which their years of arduous work, crowned with full suc res?, entitle them. The graduating class consists of Miss Annie E. Houston. Miss Mary A. Kennedy, Miss Helen A. Lyons, Miss Julia M. Boyle. Mi - Ella A. O Mara and /Miss Mary Y. Christian. Miss Houston will be the val edictorian, and Mjss Kennedy the saluta torian of the Class of 1900. The final examinations of the academy have been in progress since the latter of May. the instructors determining that it would be wiser and better to begin them thus early rather than to subject the pu pils to the hardships of standing long and difficult examinations during the in tensely hot days that may be expected ai any time during the month of June. The examination in the catechism and Christian doctrine for the undergraduating class took place on Monday, and the Faf ferty prize in this grade was won by Miss Catherine Blun. Th-* same examination for the lower senior class was held yes terday. and the Cafferty prize won by Mi-s Kate McCredmond. These prizes were in stituted by the late Very Rev. Edward Cafferty, formerly vicar general of the diocese of Savannah. The contest in written spelling for the members of the upper classes will take place during next week. This examina tion i a difficult and rigorous one and is looked forward to with mingled hop? and fear by those who intend to brave its terrors and make ju\ 4 effort to win the prize that is offered. * The closing exercis s of the academy, that will be held at the theater, will be made especially interesting by the exten sive programme of music that has been provided. The music on these occasions is always a leading feature and this year it will be of even more than customary elaborateness and excellence. For its bet ter rendition tjiere will be full orchestral accompaniment. The year has been one of the most sat isfactory and successful in the history of the academy. The enrollment has Iven larger and the diligence and application of the fair young s-tudents more encour aging to their instructors than has been the case for a number of years. The Sisters of Mercy, by whom the school is so well Conducted, feel that have good reason for gratitude for and a fair measure of satisfaction with, the results they nave accomplished.

They Are Willing to Give the Amount Named for the Arrest and Delivery of Mathew.** at Savannah. The Completed Investigation of tlie Accounts Shows a Shortage of Nearly $7,000 for tin* One Month That Mathews Was in Charge of the Office—Tlie Loss u Small Matter to the Firm, But They Desire to Make an Example of Mathews. Murphy & Cos. have issued circulars an nouncing a reward of SI,OOO for the arrest and delivery of W. C. Mathews to the sheriff of Chatham county. The circulars contain a picture of Matthews, and a very complete description of him. The investigation of the accounts of the local office here has been completed, and it has been ascertained that Matthews’ shortage is between $6,0C0 and $7,000. Al though he had been in the employ of the company in New York and Atlanta he had never been entrusted with the charge of an office before, and he seems to have started out from the very day he took charge with the intention of working the company for every cent that he could. Playing the races, gambling in stocks, and blowing himself in the tenderloin sec tion were his favorite diversions, and these he pursued in a manner which made i some of the local sport3 stare. It was evi dent to those acquainted with his circum stances that he was spending considera- I bly more than his income, and the won | der is That suspicion was not excited sooner. •It took Mathews just a month to get nearly $7,000 ahead of tlie company. He came here in April, but was not put in charge until two weeks later. During this time he was evidently without funds and even borrowed from other employes of the* company. His extravagant style of living dated from the day he took charge of the office, and he kept up the pace eon j tinuously until his departure a week ago i to-night. Just how much of the money : of the firm he took with him is uncer tain. but it was evidently a considerable amount. The financial system used by the com pany made it easy for an unscrupulous manager to get ahead of it. Two accounts are kept with the bank with which the company deposits. One is in the nam<- of Murphy & Cos. and the other in the name of the manager. The manager’s account is used in defraying the expenses of the office and in paying the profits of the local customers upon their speculations. Whenever these happen to be too large for the manager's account to meet with ease he notifies the home office of the amount needed and an order is wired him for the transfer of the amount from the com pany’s account to his own. This is what made it so easy for Math ews to get ahead of the company. A good many of Murphy & Co.’s customers were caught in the slump in the cotton market last week and found it necessary to put up additional margins. Mathews collect ed about S4.OX) from this source, but put the money in lys pocket instead of de positing it io his account es manager. Having made up his mind to shake the business and the city at the same time, doubtless with the intention of reforming and leading a different life hereafter, Mathews wired the company 'Saturday that he needed S2,OCX) for his account as manager. The order was promptly given. When Mathews presented the order at the bank the cashier inquired if he should place it to hi? account, as was customary. Mathews replied no, that he desired the amount in cash and asked for two SI,OOO bills. This the cashier was unable to give him, but paid the order instead in SSO and SIOO bills. These bills are anew issue of the First National Bank of Macon and are expected to play a part in the detection of Mathews. The description given of Mathews in the circular is as folows: “Age about 30 years, but looks younger, weight about 145 pounds, bight about 5 feet 9 inches, rather slender but of sup ple build, dark brown hair, parted in the middle, rather inclined to curl* slight brown moustache, (doubtless has shaven off now) blue eyes, but rather weak look ing. wears eye glasses, has clear fair skin, rather feminine appearance. Good set of teeth, upper gums show plainly i when he talks. Smokes cigars very freely. lower lips usually chapped from excessive ! smoking. Nails of fingers long, always I r.icely manicured. A great frequenter of ! pool rooms, and race tracks. Dr* sses very neatly. Quite often wears silk hat, Prince Albert coal, low quartered shoes, fond cf jewelry, especially rings, has fine soli taire ring, also silver mounted rabbit foot attached to his cigar cutter, and handsome small size gold watch. He had in his possession some fifty and one hun dred dollar bills of new issue of First National Bank of Macon, Ga.; supposed to have left Savannah Saturday night, June 2, for Goutsvilie. Ivy., via Knoxville, Tenn. His home formerly in Xenia, 0., and New York. Resided in Atlanta about six months, from there to Savannah for one month " The circular is signed by Murphy & Cos., and Thomas Screven, superintendent of 1 oiice. It will be sent broad-cast through out the country. Murphy & Cos. are de termined to apprehend Matthews, and to make an example of him if possible. It is the first time they have been treated so badly by an employe, and they are not disposed to let him go unpunished. Pe te tives in other cities are engaged on the case. The descriplion is about as accurate as cculd he given, and shows Matthews to have been quite a stylish looking chap. He was also a very plausible fellow, and had no difficulty in making a good im pression Uj:on those whom he met. He was accompanied by his wife, who is said, to have be n a fine looking woman, and dressed stylishly. Matthews' father in-law was also with him here for a time. As an Illustration cf his methods, it is s’ a ted that Matthews came down to the office one morning wearing a magnificent so italre and amend ring with handsome dia mond shirt studs and" cuff buttons, lie explained'his display of gems by saying that they were gifts from his father-in law, and remarked that the old man was very well to do. When the head of the company heard of this Incident it made him faint. When he recovered from his astonishment In* replied that Matthews father-in-law had been property man for a Broadway music hall, and never made over $lO a month In his life. With the $2.0.0 which he got from the c mpany Saturday, and probably as much more which he had appropriated from the manager's account, Matthews was very well hioled when lie left the city, and can afford to r main quiet until (ho scent gets cold. His wife left for New York the week before h s departure, atul her trunks were rent North lasi W *ll. <day. Her t itlgti preceded her by several days. Mr. J. 11. I'oits is now temporarily in charge of the local office of Murphy A Go., and business is going on as usual. A few of the smaller customers got nervous When they heard of Mathews' shortage, and made inquiries os io the status of affairs. They were informed that a com pany which has numerous offices through out the country, and frequently pays out a giealer amount than (lie loss sustained In profit* to a single customer, would not lie in anywise hampered by n small matter like this.
