WANT TO BE NElGHBoRs.

In October conference is to be held
at Washington of representatives of the
nations of the three Americas, with
view to the Improvement of their COM
mercial relations. This country has Sc
lected capable representation, and it
is understood that most Of the other ma
tions are IN cordial sympathy with the
movement, and will be fully repre-
sented. The reports and indications
from Mexico, however, show that it is
disposed to stand aloof. 1t has not ap-
pointed delegates, and the urgent pre-
sentation Of the subject by individuals
has not as yet elected favorable re-
sponse. 1t will be very serious disap-
pointment if that country should stay
aw y, as large expectations are based
upon future traffic with Mexico.
American capital is going there, and
the prejudices against dealings with
this country are believed to be disap-
pearing. Mexico has made very re-
marksble progress in the past few years.

credits, building railroads. and estab-

A BLUE BLOOD.

BROOKLYN

A Fencing Master Elopes With
One OF the Blue BlOods Of
Brooklyn.
New YORK, June 13.-One of the most
romantic stage marriages of late is that
of Miss Edgeworth Starritt, one of the
prettiest and best singers of Mr.. Aron-
sons ''Brigand" chorus. She has left
the company and married her fencing
master, Signor Paulo Bellochio. The
last time she was seen at the Casino was
on Monday. On Tuesday her aunt ap-
peared and said she had elOped with
the swOrdsman. He is thirty-ive and
she but nineteen. Mrs. BellOchiO halls
from the bluest blood that constitutes
the arist0cracy of Brooklyn heights.
Her surviving parent is an indulgent
father and seemingly his only gratifica-
ton in life is to bow to the wishes of his
only child. This only child became en-
amDred of the stage, and pleaded with
her father to at least give her a chance
of making her name as singer. After
much persuasion he yielded, and did SO
gracefully, although with many misgiy-
ings, her first appearance being made in
January last. as one OF the choristers in
1.-The Yoemen of the Gdard." On ac-
count of her attention to business, as
well as her beauty and singing quail
ties, she was soon sent out by Mr.. Aron-
son, of the Casino, to join his road COM
pany No. 2. in which she was Capt. De-
launy in '.Erminie," and Dame Carruth-
erS in "The Y0emen of the Guard"
Previous to this the young lady was ro-
mantle enough to form an acquaintance
wife Signor Bellochio, who in his own
land is nobleman. but who gives fenc-
ing lessons for a living in this country.
1t is learned that Signor Bellochio is
not rich. but as the chorus girl he has
married will come into fortune on the
death of her father, he may be called
lucky.

Insist Upon a Differential.

The meeting Of the Western Freight
association in Chicago was the topic of
discussion among railroad men yester
day. Various opinions were expressed
as to the offer of 60 per cent of the busi-
ness to the Lake Superior lines. The
representatives of these latter lines did
not think there was much prospect of the
offer being accepted, as they say on
that basis they would only carry 80 per
cent of the total business, owing to the
short duration of navigation. The
receipt of kilograms from Chicago
confirmed the correctness of this
view. The offer has been refused, the
roads insisting on 10-cent differential,
saying they are entitled to it and will
take nothing else. The other roads are
equally firm in their opinion that the
offer of 60 per cent of the business is a
liberal one. Few railroad men expected
any result from the Chicago meeting,
and the prospects are that regular
rate war is imminent. Everyone de-
plores this. as it is paralyzing business
of all sorts.

An Aged Empress.

6 The Berlin Post has published short
string of anecdotes from the drawing
room of the widowed Empress Augusta.
I have not the slightest doubt that they
are all authentic, for happen to know
that some of them are facts. The main
object is to show how intimate are the
relations between the castle aud the
palace. You may remember my telling
you early in the winter what pleasure
the kaiser's young children afforded
their royal great-grandmother by
their frequent visits, and how the
young princes themselves reyeled in the
supply of toys given them on these oc-
casiOns, and over the rOmps they were
I then permitted to indulge in. The
illustrious lady deyotes herself to the
memory of her deceased husband; but
she does not shut herself up or shun all
mention of current events. Her majesty
frequently gives small tea parties, and
every Tuesday evening belongs to the
kaiser and kaiserln, when the heredi-
tary prince. e.and princess of Sake -Meinin-

she enjoys her Fridays, when her young

Wide of Its Mark.

LONDON, June 13.-Mr. Gladstone
met with an adventure to-day.
While passing through the town
of Wadebridge, in Cornwall. a mis-
sile, which is believed to have
cen live cartridge, was thrown at his
Carriage. The police think it was an
attempt upon his life. The cartridge
flew wide of the mark and did not even
touch the carriage, which proceeded
without stopping. Mr.. Gladstone did
not know of the occurrence until he had
alighted, when he was told what had
happened. Several bystanders pointed
out to the police the person who threw
the missile, but they were unable to
positively identify the man, and so he
was not arrested.

A WOMAN IN IT.
Adventurous Nature and Tragic
End Of Young RochefOrt.

End Of Young OChefOrt.
There was woman in it, of course,
says recent Paris letter. Cherchez la
femme is the current phrase employed
by those who talk of young Rochefort's
suicide, and that which was only ru-
mored and limited at yesterday is re-
garded as fact to-day. Henri Roche
fort fills was an impetuous youth, who
was passionately fond of his father. and
was ever ready to champion his cause
with tongue and sword. He was always
in hot water when in Paris. and for
this reason M. Rochefort liked to
have him under his eye whenever the
Young ma was at home on a visit.
When M. Rochefort had to follow
Gen. BOulanger to Brussels he told his
son to return to Algeria, but the young
man refused, as he had liaisOn with

When young RochefOrt at last returned
to Algeria-as his father had threatened
to cut off his supplies if he remained in
Paris-he became distracted with grief
and besought the Circe to join him in
exile. She preferred, however, the
shade of the acacias in the BOis to that
of the Algerian palm trees, and it is
reported by some that she telegraphed
to her lover, who had threatened
to commit suicide, the words

the sad affair was first received by

Rochefort family. She Immediately
communicated with M. Dufaux-M.
Rochefort's son-in-law-who had just
arrived in Paris from Egypt, and the
news of the sons death was then broken
to the father in London. M. ROchefOrt
was deeply affected by the intelli-
gence, and the blow was doubly
severe, as it had to be borne i'm

IN THE DARK.

o, in the depths of midnight,
What fancies haunt the brain,
When even the sigh Of the sleeper
Sounds like sob of pain.
A sense Of awe and of wonder
Imay never well define, ~
For the thoughts that come In the shadows
Never come in the shine.
The old clock down in the parlor
Like sleepless monarch grieyes,
And the seconds drip in the silence
AS the rain drops from the caves.
And think Of the hands that signal
The hours there in the gloom,
And wonder what angel watchers
Wait in the darkened room.
And think of the smiling faces
That used to watch snd wait
Till the click of the clock was answered
By the click of the opening gate.
They are not there now in the evening
Morning or n0on--nOt there;
Yet know that they keep their vign
And wait for me somewhere.

GERMANY BACKS DOWN.
A Significant Article on the Sa-
moan Protocol.

moan Protocol.
LONDON, June 13.-The Koelnische
Zeitnng, commenting an the Samoan
protocol, says that 1t is not of the slight
est importance to Germany who reigns
in Samoa. The chief point which the
German delegates had to consider was
that proper provision be made for the
safety of the lives and property of Ger
man subjects in those islands. and that
proper safeguards be secured for the
protection OF German interests. These
questions the German delegates may be
trusted to solve. 1t is cchsidered sig
nificant that this article, which may be
accepted as more or less officially in
spired, contains no reference to the Ger
man claim for indemnity, which has
constituted the one important element
of discord in the conference. This
omission is regarded as foreshadowing
the Withdrawal of Germany from the
position, which, up to this time, she has
stoutiy maintained and indicates tri-
umph for Anne rican diplomacy.

which evidently disconnected the
former, and he lost his head. Both men

In the fourth round Keefe seemed to
have the best of the fight, but in the

his skill in splendid man

both sides, Keefe led with left, which

The lawyers in Iowa are credited
with a rather singular freak of late.
They are reported to be moving in the
direction of simplicity and intelligibil-
ity in legal documents. They have con-
sented to the idea that deeds, mortga
ges and other legal papers can be
stripped of their load of verbiage and
reduced in volume one-half or more
withoutimpairing their certitude. This
seems to be in the line of good sense,
but if the labarynth of phraseology is
dispensed with, and the concise and ex-
plicit terms of business speech allowed,
there may be danger that people will
do some of the work for themselves
which they have turned over to profess
sional adopts. There will hardly be
radical changes in that direction while
the statutes and forms are all dictated
by the profession.

ANOTHER DEFECTIVE DAM.
A Second johnson Horror Pre-.
dicted in Vermont.


SPRINGFIELD. Mass, June 13.-There
is great excitement in Shelburne Falls,
one of the most thriving towns in the
Deerfield valley, over the possibilities
that the Sedawga lake in Whitingham,
Vt, some distance above, may give way
and flood the valley, resulting IN fear
full destruction of life and property.
The lake covers $50 acres. and is said to
contain nearly eight billion gallons of
water. The dam is very narrow. and
about twenty-five feet high. The water
is over square mile in area and forty
feet deep. 1t has within week past
sprung leak, but has been temporary
lily patched up.sSadawgai like is on the
side of a mountain over 900 feet above
Shelburne Falls sea level, and in the
event of its demolition that town would
experience second Johnstown horror.
The Deerfield river on which Shell
burne Falls is located. is notorious for
its turbulance during high water. So
great has the excitement become all
along the river, that thorough invest
igation will be made. and the dam will
either be repaired or demolished.

PEBBLES AS BRAKES.
The Makeshifts Used on the Irish
Railroads.

LONDON, June 13.-It now seems cer-
tain that the coaches which were
wrecked in the terrible railroad disas-
ter at Armagh, yesterday, were
deliberately detached from the train.
and that this was done while
the cars were standing on very steep
grade. Stones were gathered from the
side of the track and placed under the
wheels of the detached coaches. and
these stones were expected to prevent
their sliding down the steep incline to
destruction. just who was res
ponsible for this crude de-
vice is not clear, but the in
vestigatiOn which has been set on foot
will undoubtedly place the RESPONSE
bility for this idiotic makeshift where it
belongs. The plan seems to have been
to drag up the incline as many cars as
the engine was equal to and then re-
turn for the others, but the forward
cars had scarcely begun to move when
the weight of the others forced the
loose stones from under the wheels ard
the doomed coaches started off on their
fearful journey down the incline.
