LUCY BRYANT HARRINGTON.

The subject of this sketch was born in
Darien. Genesee Co., n. Y, in 1853. and
died in Elgin, Ill.,. Oct 8. 1884, aged 81
years and two months. Her health had
not been good for the past few years,
but until few months before her death
she was able to be about some and look
after her household affairs. The day of
her death her physician said her symp-
toms Were more favorable, but before
night there was change and soon her
sut1erings were over and the spirit had
left the wearied body. Her heart had
troubled her somewhat, but a tumor
caused her death. Mrs. Harrington had
lived for quite number Of years IN
Shoreham, and for some years before her
marriage with Anthony Harrington. in
Cornwall, with her uncle, George Bry-
ant. During these years she had made
many friends In these places ind all were
sorry to spare her when she left her old
associates and went with the chosen of
her heart to follow his fortunes, which in
this case proved fortunate. for Mr.. Har-
Hngton was an indulgent, kind husband,
giving his wife every kindness that mon
ey and affection could suggest to make
her life pleasant and her last days as free
from pain and care as was possible. But
all these could not arrest the steady
march of death. and soon she was claimed
for his own. Her last request was that
in the event of her death her remains
should be brought to Vermont for their
final rest; so the bereaved husband start
ed on his lonely journey and the cemete-
ry at Wallingford received this new
treasure to its trust" to sleep with her
kindred who had gone before.
TO her friends her death was sad
ness, as she was very much thought of,
and the hope had been that she might re-
cover. In disposition she was kind, ami
able, ever ready to lend a helping hand
to those who needed her aid. Among
those who knew her best is the sympathy
strongest for those who mourn her loss
In the early days of her womanhood,
stricken down by an incurable disease,
she had to break those ties which were
to her so dear and face the inevitable
alone.
In the death Of this loved and loving

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Nov. 14.-After all, the declaration
of war this morning burst upon all here as a
surprise. There was faith that diplomacy
| would patch up the difficulties. None OF the
morning papers had definite news, only rumors
A message announcing the outlook reached me
at $50 am. 1 had an immediate interview
with Mijatovich, the Servian minister here
He had received hour before q long
telegram giving the official text Of the decar
alton, and instructing him to carry the news
to Lord Salisbury, which he was about to do I.
He assured me that the immediate cause ofthe
outbreak was that Bulgaria had given orders
| that all Servans found on Bulgarian territory
| should be treated as brigands. Servia indig-
nantly protested without result. She therefore
sent circular note to the powers denying that
Servian troops had crossed the frontier, and as
sorting that the Bulgarians were pressing the
Servian outpostS and declaring that any fur
| Their advance by the Bulgarians would be
a casus beM. The advance was
| made, the Servians being attacked near Vlassi-
| field at the head of his army. A formal de-
claration of war has been sent by Premier Gar
aSchnlng 10 the creek agent representing Ser
via at sofia, instructing him to convey it to
| Zaunof, minister of foreign affairs. Mijato-
| vich said to me: "Both Gladstone and Lord
| Salisbury have done all in their power To pre-
| vent war;" He said with a smile of confidence:
| "The war will be neither long nor bloody 1t will
| draw Servia and Bulgaria nearer together, and
eacn will better understand and respect the
other. This collision will afford solu-
! ton OF all the problems SO long at issue
between u.s." 1t is certain. however, that Europe
| will not take this view. King Milan has been
bent from he first upon hostilties Tor the sake
| OF aggrandiZement,a and has not hesitated now TO
plunge into fratricidal war with this end in
| view. jat Jvich denied all this vehemently and
| started to convey the news to Lord Salisbury.
The following interesting fact which ii is need
| less to say did not reach me from the same
| source, is true, nevertheless: All the long
and eloquent letters sent to the English papers
last month by the Servian minister were not
written by him, but by his wife, who is an
| American lady.

Will. BE MERGED INTO ONE BY A BLAST
THIS AFTERNOON
For more than year the work of making a
tunnel through bed rock has been steadily
prosecuted on the water works extension. Day
ana night, without intermission, the drills
nave bored their way into the solid rock, and
to-day connection was made between two of
the headings. Early this morning STAR re-
porter presented himself at the Rock creek
shail. where he was taken charge of by Inspec-
TOR woodward In a few moments the reporter
was ut the bottom of the shaft, and then, guided
oy Mr. Woodward and the dim light of a
miners lamp, he plodded his way through mud
and water to the headings. thirty hundred
and twenty-nine feet distant. The connection
been an event that was expected at every bla t
lof the past three days. For more than week
WORK has been suspended in the heading of the
Champaign avenue tunnel. Only seven feet of
two sets of workmen to continue any
longer in such close proximity. A blast
set Oft In one heading might do incalculable
miscnlef TO the worker in the next. So all work
was stopped in the Champlain avenue heading
and 1t was prosecuted from the Rock creek
tunnel. 1t was thought that the blast of this
morning would throw down the wall of divid-
ing rock, but 1t did not. In short time, how
ever; one OF the drills went through. and then
another and another pierced the rock until five
holes were made through it. a measurement
showed that the wall of lock dividing the two
headings ranged from two and a half to three
and a half feet in thickness The drills were
kept ut work until fourteen holes were made.
The charges were then laid and everything
prepared to blow out the dividing wall and
connect the two branches of the tunnel at five
o'clock this afternoon.
Work from the other headings is rapidly pro-
crossing.

A Curious Murder Conspiracy.
HOW A CALIFORNIA DOCTOR WAS PUT OUT Of

THE WAY BY AN ENEMY.
HoLLISTER, CAL, Nov. 14.-Dr. Powers, a
well-known resident of this place, was found
hanging to a tree on the road near here on Sc p-
tembcr Is. At the time his body was found il
was thought that he had beer lynchcd because
OF popular feeling against him, but later sus-
piciou became aroused that he had been muir
dercd and Is persons were arrested for alleged
completely i'm the crime. Every effort, how
ever, To obtain convicting testimony in the
preliminary examinations JAILED. Twelve per-
sons yet remain in custody. One of these
prisoners named Richard Alexander, on Satur-
day last gave 10 detectives a written confession,
the contents OF which were kept strictly secret.
Levi Alexander, the father of the man who
made the confession, and who was present
when the statement was given to the detec-
tiveS, yesterday made its contents public. The
statement shows that the whole matter was
instigated and executed by John T. Prewett,
who, partly by strategy and partly by coercion,
inveigied B others into becoming accessories
to the crime. Powers was shot on the evening
of September 18th by Prewett while on his
way home, and young Alexander and Andrew
Irwin witnessed the crime. Later In the even
ing a meeting at which 8 persons were present
was held for the avowed purpose OF Furnishing
against him by Prewett. The latter when he
came up said: I'VE needn't discuss the matter
have settled 1t. The old man is dead" All
present were then informed that they were
accessory to the murder and were sworn to pro-
tect one another. To strengthen the oath they
body had been left and to take part in hanging
il where it was afterwards found. Prewett d
enmity towards Powers was caused by the
latter's having been q witness In case, the
result of which was TO take from Prewett some
illegally held land. Among those named by
Alexander as being implicated i'm the murder
are 5. +. ). Ashcroft, Andrew Irwin, Fred. Fow-
Ter, Isaac Slavin and Marion Thompson.
