HUBERT 0. THOMPSON DEAD.
The Leader of the New York Count. Democracy Found Dead in Hii RnA

Bed.
 NEW YORK, July 26.-Hubert O. Thomp- son, commissioner of public works and leader of the County Democracy, was found dead in the Worth House at 9:35 this morn ing by his physician, Dr. Roberts, who had last seen MT. Thompson alive at about 4 o'clock this morning, the latter being in bed at the time. There was then no apprehen- sion of fatal result of the illness which had caused the ex-commissioner to be under med ical care for some months. MT. Thompson was found on his right side with his knees drawn up. The pupils of his eyes were di- lated and bloodshot, and his face and neck were livid. The immediate cause of death was cerebral apoplexy. Coroner Mersmer, who was summoned, said that death proba- bly occurred at about o'clock.
 Hubert Ogden Thompson was thirty-seven years and seven months old. He was born in Boston, Mass, but was brought to this city by his parents when a child, and has ever since lived here. His education was ac- quired in the public schools, being finished at the Free academy, now the College of the City of New York. After ten years passed in Wall street in brokerage and railroad business, he was appointed chief clerk in the water purveyor's office by Allan Campbell, then commissioner of public works, and soon afterward was appointed deputy com missioner. He filled the latter position with credit for three years, resigning to accept from Governor Robinson the appointment of county clerk, in place of Henry A. Gumble- ton, removed His term commissioner of public works began in 1880, and lasted until the appointment of the present commissioner, MT. Squire. Mr. Thomp- son first became active in politics in 1871, when he joined the Young Mems Democratic club and became an opponent of the old party leaders. In 1877 he was 8 member of Tammnay Hall, but withdrew from it because of his hostility to John Kelly His career since then as the leader of the County Democracy is well known to the pub lie. Personally he was man of winning manners and 8 genial companion.
 The members of the American club met tonight and took action in regard to the death of their fellow member, Hubert o. Thompson. The leaders of the County De mocracy were present and several eulogies were delivered.

Bomb Ftshed From a Barrel.

CHICAGO, July 26'-A dynamite bomb eighteen and one-half inches long and two inches in circumference was found in bar rel of straw on the fourth floor of Wilbur 6 Aliens crockery house. East Washington street, this afternoon. It was completely loaded and it's destructive power will equal that of four bombs such as the one that caused so much desolation and death at the Haymarket. It is supposed to be the handi- work of Lingg, now on trial with Spies and others. The bomb was probably placed in the barrel on May 1, as on that date the bar rels were emptied of their contents and the straw returned to them. Abe Aseheles, a young Russian, is suspected of being the per son to whom it belongs. At the store of A. s. Gage & Co.,, where it was stated the man had been employed, it was learned that Ascheles and a Frenchman had been there for short time, but they were both dis charged about July 19 and it was supposed that they had gone to Kansas,

 The Rig Sugar Failure.
 NEW YORK, July 26.-At meeting of the creditors of J. DeRivera 6 Co.,, the bank rupt sugar merchants, to-day the following statement was made: Total liabilities $1 ,370, : 220, total assets $1, ,522, ,675, of which only $335, ,662 are good. Of the good assets $140,- 900 are mortgages and the greater part of the remainder consists of plantations in San Domingo. The failure therefore amounts to a million dollars in round numbers. A con- mittee was appointed to consider the advisa bility of furnishing money to continue the plantations, which latter would bring but very little money at a forced sale, but which it is thought can be made to realize hand somely if properly worked. The committee will report in a few days.

AMSTERDAM, July 26.-For some time past popular sport among the lower classes, particularly on Sundays and holidays, has been the suspension of cells from a cord stretched over the canal and shooting at them. On Sunday the authorities ordered the prohibition of the practice This led to conflict between the police and the peo- pie during which several people were wound ed. The military were called out to aid the police in preserving order. Matters then went on comparatively easy until tonight. Large crowds assembled in the streets and defed the police. Troops came to the assistance of the police and command ed the mob to disperse. The order not being obeyed the troops fired into the mob which sullenly fell back. It is reported that ten persons were killed outright and many fatally wounded. The mob is now erecting barri- eades in the streets.

Serious harges Brought Against an
 Intimate Friend of General Logan.
 CHICAGO, July 26.-Co1onel w. H. Bolton, chief of the division for handling second class matter at the postoffice, was arrested this afternoon. The Investigating committee, it is alleged, have discovered shortage of over $4 900 in his accounts. Colonel Bolton is charged with the embezzlement of govern ment funds. So far the alleged larceny is placed at $4, 600, but the postofice inspectors say further examination will pro bably show that it will reach from S6,000 to $1O,0OO. Colonel Bolton strenuously denies his guilt His arrest was followed by that of Weigher Stuart, who did the weighing of second class matter. The arrest of Bolton caused sensa- ton in federal circles, the like of which has not been known for years. He was one of the most trusted assistants and stood high in the estimation of everyone When placed in custody Colonel Bolton vowed that he knew nothing of the alleged discrepancies and could not account for them. Stuart, the chief weigher, maintained an assumed indifference and refused to make any statement. Colonel Bolton stands high in social, army and church cir cles and Is warm friend of General Logan. His friends refuse to believe him guilty and assert that he will come out all right. The inspectors claim that after the second class matter had been delivered at the postoffice and weighed by Stuart the latter would change the figures, making the weight ap pear less than it really was. Then Bolton, it is alleged, would send bills for the correct or larger amount to the newspaper offices and after getting them pocket the difference. Late this evening Bolton secured bondsmen in the sum of $10,- 900, but Stuart was locked up in default of S5, 1000 bail

Senators aasslIns Over a Co1lecto

WASHINGTON, July &C., The Senate went into secret session at 8 o'clock this afternoon and the nomination of Thomas Hanlan to be collector of internal revenue for the Seventh district of Indiana was taken up. An ad- verse report was made on the nomination by the Committee on Finance some time ago on the ground of incompetency and immortality. Senator Harris spoke for an hour and a quarter in opposition to confirmation dur ing which he reviewed the charges and pro- duced a large number of letters, petitions, etc., from Democrats as we'll as Republicans against confirmation. Sc nator Voorhees replied at equal length and produced endorsement from prominent Republicans to Hawley's good character and capacity. He made an earnest personal appeal for his friend and at the conclusion of his speech a recess was taken to s o'clock, when the Senate reconvened in secret session. There were but few Senators present and by mutual consent the Hanlan case went over until next session and unrejeeted reports on nomi- nations were taken up. Among the nomi- nations confirmed were those of MT. Lawton as superintendent of the mint at San Fran cisco, J. s. Hager collector at San Francisco, and James E.

 SHARON, Pa, July 26.-The case of the Cincinnati woman who created sensation by proelaiming herself to be Jesus Christ is duplicated at Wheatland by a prepossessing young lady who apart from her strange delu- sion appears intellectually bright. Arming herself with club she visited the homes of the residents and by threats and exhortations compelled them to abandon their premises. She gave as a reason the statement that the place was Gods grounds and their presence was a dissertation. She says the village is under a curse and finds many believers, as from prosperous manufacturing village it has retrograded into an almost wholly desert ed one. The woman is holding daily re- ligious services and people are ioeking from surrounding towns to hear her.

The household.

GRAY Madras muslin, with an en-
broidered design in pink and yellow, is
an excellent cover for satin furniture
that has become passe. The work
must be done by an expert, as the mus
lin must be tightly drawn over the satin
in order to produce the desired effect.
AN EXCELLENT and nourishing dish
OF minced collops may be made of finely
chopped round of beef, free from every
particle of fat To each pound of beef
allow one pint of boiling water. salt and
pepper to taste. Simmer for three
hours. keeping the stew pan closely
covered, and serve with rice.
One REASON why made-over garments
so frequently have an unpleasant and
botched look is because too little atten-
ton is paid to such small items. If the
work must be done, it is surely worth
while to do it we'll, so that one will feel
repaid for ones labor in the end, and
view the complete work with satisfac-
ton.
A SHABBY dress coat cannot be of any
use to the poor and may be cut to pieces
for household decoration. It will form
the foundation of chair seats or backs,
foot rests or cushions. Binds of en-
broidery may be applied, or the cloth
may be embroidered with plumetis stitch
and applique designs.
CRACKS in floors may be neatly but
permanently filled by thoroughly soak
ing newspapers i'll paste made of half
q pound of flour, three quarts of water
and half q pound of alum mixed and
boiled. The mixture will be about as
thick as putty. and may be forced into
the crevice with case-knife. 1t will
harden like paper-mache.
BREAD griddle cakes are excellent and
may be made of stale bread. Soak q
small bowl of bread over night in milk.
In the morning mix half oupful of
-four into which is put one and one
half teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
with one quart of milk, three we'll

the bread with this batter until it is very
light and fry delicate brown. The
batter should lie thick.
