Summoned West by Death.

Representative McKendree Down
ham, who was in attendance upon the
Peninsular Editorial convention at
CressOn Springs, Pa, was summoned
to Jacksonville, Ind, on Tuesday, in
response to a telegram announcing the
death of his sister, Mrs. John $. Nc
Caulley, of that place. The dispatch
only announced the demise of Mrs.
McCaulley, which occurred suddenly
and unexpectedly. The deceased was
81 years old and leaves a husband and
two children. Miss DOwnham, a sister
of the deceased, of near Fell
ton, was with the latter at the
time of her death, as was her mother
also of this State, who spent the winter
in California. Mrs Mc('aulley was
well known in Delaware.

The Kennedy Mill property was sold
last Friday at public sale in ElktOn by
Sheriff Johnson to pay arrears of taxes.
1t was knocked down to Joseph Biggs,
of Middletown, for $72.SS, just enough
to pay taxes and costs. The purchase
was made in the interest of the Mary
land and Delaware Ship Canal Co.,
(Sassafras:route)w who already have a
right of title but desire to perfect it by
tax sale. 1t lies directly in the line of
the projected ship canal and is of value
to the company. 1t is said confidently
that work on the canal will be begun
shortly and eagerly prosecuted Cecil

President Harrison has been trying
to take a vacation at Deer Park, but if
the reports are true he is not having
much of a vacation after all, as his
time seems to be pretty well taken up
in examining pardon and respite
papers and applications for Office It
seems from this that he is not having
much rest, and the only benefit he can
hope to secure will be from the exhila-
rating mountain air.

A simple Scientific Experiment

Take a bottle and place cork over
the mouth. The cork must be suffi-
ciently large to rest lightly upon it,
without falling into the neck. Snap
the neck of the bottle sharply with the
thumb and finger, and the cork will fall
from the bottle towards the hand giving
the blow, and not away from it, as might
be expected. This effect is due to the
principle of inertia, the quick blow
forcing, as it were, the bottle away from
the cork before the motion can be trans
mitted to the cork itself. Buffalo Times.

A few days ago the Hon. Jake Xii
rain of Baltimore was in tears because
the Hon. John /. Sullivan gave him a
drubbing. On Thursday he gave his
home city a carmine tint by going on
terrible spree. Mr. Sullivan did the
same thing in New York few days
ago, but neither OF the two worthless
were arrested. We had no idea that
New York and Baltimore had given
prize fighters the freedom of those
cities and made them exempt from the

BUTCHERED BY HEB HUSBAND.
A Hollander at Patterson, n. j., Hacks his
Young Wife to Death.

PATTERSON, n. j., Feb. ga terrible
tragedy was enacted at No. 90, Chestnut
street, this city, this afternoon. Anthony
Laree, Hollander, aged 30, who has only
been in this country for six months, was
married in Holland six months ago to a
beautiful young girl who came with him
to America. She was Laree's second wife
and was only II years of age. She soon
grew tired of his exacting ways after they
reached here and as they had no means and
he would not work the girl refused to re-
main dependent upon his friends, who
were hard working people, and went TO
live as domestic with Mrs. Van Ripper, at
800 Elliston street, where she has been en-
ployed for five or six weeks. Laree did
not know Of this move and his friends
would not tell him where she was. he
met her accidentally, however, and made
an appointment with her for this after
moon at Mr.. Stulwater's house, where the
tragedy occurred.
After luncheon Mr. Saltwater went out,
leaving Laree and his wife alone together.
When he returned, about an hour later,
he found the young wife lying in corner
with blood issuing from the wounds in her
head, neck, arms and side The woman
was taken to St. Joseph's hospital, where
she lies in dying condition. The room
In which the StaDDlng TOOK place Is Gov
cred with blood.
Laree fed, taking with him the knife
with which he committed the deed. The
police tracked him by his bloody foot
prints for long distance through the
sandy hill country and off in the direction
of Passaic.
Tonight Laree returned to Patterson and
was arrested. He had cut himself badly
during the struggle with his wife and was
seeking medical assistance. He has made
a full confession.

a SENSATIONAL LETTER.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.--At yesterday
meeting of Episcopal bishops to consider
the establishment of federate council of
the church in this state, considerable
sensation was caused by the reading Of a
letter from Bishop Huntington, of Central
New York. who declined to take
part and gave his reasons therefor.
After declaring that simplicity is a
thing much to be desired and
that there is danger of too much and too
cumbrous organization in church matters,
the bishop went on to say:
"Ours is period of publicity and ex-
ternal demonstration. We want deeper
thought, stronger personal faith. Intense
political and commercial forces are ready
push their way into the church, to
magnify its material and secular
aspects in commercial and politi-
cal centers and to match the wealth
and official pageantry and corporal power
of the world with hlerarchical and other
like distinctions of the kingdom of God.
To specify the multiplying marks OF
such a tendency might seem lnvldlous,
but it could be easily done. Another
triernial convention is near at hand.
There seems to be nothing to be lost
and much may be gained by allow
ing the subject to remain in allegiance as 1t
has hitherto stood. The best place to re-
sist bad tendencies is at the beginning l
absent myself from the meeting because it
seems to me ought not to take part IN a
proceeding by which might not be able
to consider myself bound

THE INAUGURATION PROGRAM.
FOREIGN CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER, Feb. 2S.-The Guardian, in
it's commercial article, says: Business
does not indicate any betterment. The
market is dull. The India and China de-
partments are especially inactive. The
inquiry has lessened. The production of
Eastern staples, however, is well under
engagement. In fact, manufacturers are
in pressing need of fresh orders. AL
though the number OF orders is increas-
ing, the demand from the minor
foreign markets is slow. The sales, al
though ordinarily numerous, are rarely
Of much Importance Slngly. Altogether
business yesterday did not reach the av
srage of Tuesday Home and colonial
houses are still acting carefully, and are
farely inclined TO place orders of import
snce for forward delivery. The present
disposition throughout the market seems
to be TO bay only from hand TO mouth, but
it is agreed that the present abstinence
must involve free buying later. There is
little inquiry for export yarn in quantity.
A few SHALL orders have been placed, at
near fridays full prices. Home manu-
facturess buy sparingly. There Is no sign
that they anticipate higher prices. On
the contrary, there is Il prevailing eX-
aectation that the tendency will be
dowpsard unless there Is IA prompt re-
vival of the demand for goods at current
or better prices. Cloth is fairly steady
There is rarely sign of pressure or weak
ness. India and China shirtings are firm,
although in a few cases fresh business is
much wanted. Jacconets are weak. Or
ders in some directions are strongly de
sired. The demand for dhootieS is poor,
bet prices firm. Printing and finishing
cloths are slightly irregular. Some manu-
facturers are firm, and sometimes they
ere asking slight advance, while Others
Gre easy sellers at Fridays rates. There is
a quiet but steady demand for heavy
goods, usually in small quantities Occa-
sionally there are moderate sales.

KILLED IN SELF DEFENSE.

PONTIAC, Mich, Feb. 2S.-Last Monday
William Davis, patient at the insane
asylum, was killed by Henry Taylor, an
attendant, and today the coroner's jury
rendered verdict that the killing was done
in self defense. The circumstances are
these: As Taylor passed Davis in the hall
with another imbecile Davis, who was out
of humcE about something, struck Taylor
in the neck Taylor left the other man
and grabbed Davis about the waist. They
struggled for five minutes, first one then
the other getting the best. When about
three feet from bench Taylor, as he says,
gave Davis a violent wrench throwing him
across an arm of the bench. His body was
twisted over it and held there until help
arrived An examination of the body re-
vealed the fact that Davis must have been
handled IN terrible manner. The breast
bone was broken in two and every rib on
one side broken except two ana three
were broken twice. The ragged edges of
the ribs sawed off the veins and arteries so
that the internal cavities were filled with
blood. After the fight the patient was
taken out for walk and dragged around
the grounds until he said he could go DO
further He was then taken back put to
bed and died in d few minutes.

A BOMB EXPLOSION EXPLAINED.

MIDDLETowN, Conn. Feb. 2S.-The
recent bomb explosion which tore off the
hand of student of Wesleyn university is
explained. J. A. Lackaberry OF New York,
received on Thursday, February Is, about
noon. telegram from Middletown, sign
ed by his son, a member of the
freshman class, asking him to
send by the 3 p. m. train that
day six bombs. He sent messenger
from his Office to get the bombs, writing
on the back of the telegram the address OF
a fire works company, adding, to indicate
the article wanted, Bombs such as stu
dents use" He had in mind a kind of
bomb called the cheese bomb, which ex-
plodes with a loud report, but which is
not especially dangerous. The messenger
failed to find the firm to which he was
sent and went to another and was given
six so-called cannon salute bombs. The
exact nature Of these has not yet been as
certained. The messenger took them to
Lackaberry, Sr., and he sent them to the
baggagemaster of the train. Neither ex-
amined the package. When opened at
Middletown they were seen toa)e not what
was sent for, but were supposed to be all
right or Lackberry, ST., would not have
sent them. Thus by series of fatal blum
ders and misunderstanding a college
prank, seriously disorderly, but not mallc-
ious, resulted III what at first seemed
to be vicious crime Lackberry had once
before sent his son such bombs as were
asked for, and under the circumstances in
volying no breach of college rules.
