From the New York Evening Sun.
An ancient specimen Of the genus
"masher" came into an elevated car yester-
day. lie was rather threadbaro but care
shiny shin new silk hat. with careful obser-
walton he scanned the occupants Of the car
and then sat himself down directly OPP
posite an unusually pretty girl witk her
lap full Of Christmas bundles. He
smoothed his gloves, arranged his cuffs
smile at the pretty girl. She looked
hastily out Of the window. BY and by she
turned her face again, to meet the same
breadth of smile and the eyes fixed
steadily on her face. She looked annoyed.
He looked delighted. Her cheeks grew
pink. She had halfa mind TO change her
scat. Then nil the bravery in her nature
mounted to her eyes. Slowly she drew
from her pocket n lorgnette, and held 1t
with tho most deliberate inquisitiveness
up to her eyes.
First she scanned the top Of his hat, then
slowly--oh 80 slowly--let her gaze creep
downward to his face with Its wealth OF
smile, her own never changing by the
quiver of a muscle. Down, down II went,
with fixed and stony stare, to the very tips
Of his boots. There II paused for an In
slant, then began It's slow upward march,
creeping along with tho same curious de-
Liberation, very much as one would survey
new variety Of animal with a view to
classification. When she reached the
smile again the glory Of IL was dimmcd.
When she reached the toes they were do
cidedly uneasy, and by the time she was
ready TO scan his face on her upward sweep
II looked very red and decidedly uncomfort-
able. One more sweeping circuit was made,
and the discounted " masher, I" muttering
something about the cars being too hot
for him, fed from the awful presence and
plunged down the stairs into the street
below.

SENATOR CALLS resolution requesting
the president TO negotiate for the purchase
OF the freedom of Cuba can only serve to
keep that irrepressible Cuban question be-
fore the public. Poor and weak though
Spain has been, she has always shown
firm and admirable determination not to
rolinquish foot of Cuban ground without
a struggle. We may blame her for mis-
government, but she could forcibly retort
in the same tone, and the believers in the
possibility of averting all wars by arbtra-
ton have knotty problem In this great
Spanish island. 1t seems plain enough to
Americans that Cuba will surely he torn
from Spain, but we cannot blame tho
Spaniards for refusing to tolerate the
thought.

The experts appointed to examine the
new Chestnut street school building report
that there Is no danger II the building Is
used as was intended when built, and that
II an extra floor Is to be laid additional
loists should be provided. Wo publish
their reports in full, rs IL Is well that
parents should be thoroughly satisfied of
the substantial character of school build
ings. Based as it is on the reports of archi-
tects and experienced builders the report
of the property committee OF the school
board justifies the belief that this new and
costly structure is firmly and strongly
built The only fault IN the erection seems
TO have been tho putting In of toists to
carry the second floor ceiling, which were
of too long span and too weak to bear tho
weight of the ceiling in their centre with
out bending. This was a clear fault in the
architecture, but 1t was not dangerous
one, since the only trouble 1t caused was
the unsightliness of the ceiling.

In November we exported over four
million dollars worth of petroleum, about
three millions Of il being illuminating oil
and nearly three millions being shipped
from the port of New York. We also OK
ported in the month cotton to the value
of forty seven and a half million dollars OF
which over fifteen millions was shipped
from New Orleans. Savannah was tho
next largest shipping port for cotton, her
shipments exceeding seven millions: next
comos Galveston with five and half, New
York with more than four millions and
Charleston with n little less than four, while
Richmond passes the two million mark.
The statistics of exports strongly impress
the towering commercial supremacy OF
New York, and 1t Is certainly remarkable
TO find cotton from the far South passing
by splendid ports and seeking that distant
point of shipment. We find, however, that
more than half our cotton exported is sent
to Great Britain and trade naturally flows
over the great ocean ferry to that country.

THE RAGING SCHUYLKILL.

The Damage to Property EstIma.
ted at $2O,OOO-HOuses Flooded
and Bridges Washed AHay-The
Drowning of a Lad, Etc.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-The waters in
the Schuylkill river yesterday attained
the highest point reached in this city for
twenty years, involving a destruction
to property estimated at from $4,000
to $50, 900. The park drives were sub
merged, both houses flooded, ard some
OF the streets near the river banks were
under water to depth of between four
and five feet. The cellars oftwo paper mills
and about dozen houses were flooded.
The Golfer dam Of the new Reading rail
road bridge at the falls of the Schuylkill
was washed away, entailing loss of
about $4,000. Work at the Mauyunk
and Pcncoyd Iron works opposite was
stopped owing to the eencroaChment ofthe
waters. But one fatal accident was re-
ported, the drowning of Samuel Dallar,
aged fourteen years, who, with three
other. boys, was playing in the water and
got on shanty ahoat. The strong
current carried it out into the middle of
the stream. Three of the boys swan
ashore, but the drowned lad was afraid
to attempt it, and was swept under a
schooner, and did not rise again.
Throughout the eastern section Of the
State the rain fall was very heavy.
Many houses and mills along Brandy
wine creek in the vicinity of West Chester
and DOwningtown were flooded and
business was seriously interrupted. At
Williamsport bridges over the Susquc-
hanna had to he balIastcd with heavy
laden coal cars. A large section ofSchuyi-
kill Valley i'll the vicinity of Norristown
and COnshOhoctOn was almost entirely
under water. Considerable damage was
done, but no lives reported lost in the
State. The reports received to-day are
to he effect that the water in nearly all
the larger streams is subsidinp.

ANOTHER MURDER
Added to Yancey COunty'S Long
List of bloody Deeds.

BALD CREEK, n. c., July 81.
Editor Citizen On July %, there was
another murder added to the already
long list Of homicides in Yanccy. The
scene of the occurrence being i'll remote
part Of the county the particulars are
not easily arrived at, but SO far as | can
learn the facts are about as follows:
A mau named John Hughes and one
Murphey, of whom your correspondent
can learn nothing definitely, got into Il
difficulty over woman Of loose charac-
ter, and Murphcy produced a pistol and
changed. They made friends after this
and as Hughes was going off he turned
his back to Murphey. The latter again
drew his pistol and fired, the ball strik-
ing Hughes in the back of the head and
passing entirely through the brain
Hughes died instantly, Murphcy and
the womanran Ottbut came back shortly,
concealed the body and went about their
business as if nothing had happened.
The woman fearing that the awful deed
would be discovered and that she would
bc implicated, went to the officers of the
law and told them about the whole
affair, whcrcupon they proceeded at once
to the place and her awful statement
was confirmed by the finding of the dead
body of Hughes. They then proceeded
at once tothc house ofNlurphey, arrested
him and placed him safely in the county
jail to await preliminary trial The
woman is still at liberty, but it is likely
she will be taken in Gust tody soon, as the
good citizens are demanding her arrest.
The excitement is intense in the immcdi-
ate ghborhood and threats of lynchng
are common.
Mr.. Young has succeeded in capturing
Garrison Patcs, who cruelty murdered his
uncle, about two years since i'll Egypt i'll
this county. He is a mere boy Of about
eighteen, and was bcastIy drunk when he
committed the crime which will probably
cost him his life.
Gable Higgins, the seventeen year old
son of Erwin Higgins, of Madison county,
and his younger brother about ten years
old, went squirrel hunting last week
with a shot gun, and while the little boy
was carrying the gun it was accidentally
discharged, the whole load of shot lodg-
ing in the elder brothers arm near the
shoulder, innicting a very painful if not
dangerous wound. w. NJ. w.
