Mr.. NoRToN's EXCITING AND VERY RAPID TRIP TO
DENVER.
Denver Special to the New York Sun, March 49,
Near this city yesterday A. F. Starkworth at
tempted to murder Ellis Norton. a ranchman.
The men had previously had some misunder-
standing. They lived near each other, and met
frequently, but no trouble of serious nature
was anticipated. Yesterday morning Norton
hitched up his team and was driving into Dem
ver when he heard farm wagon approaching
from behind. He paid no attention until the
team was within 100 yards of him. Then it
flashed through his mind instantly that it was
the intention of Starkworth to meet him on
the plains, and, not being armed, he whipped
up his horses to their highest speed. His pur-
suer called upon him to stop, which was I'M
noticed. An instant later shot was fired, and
the bullet whizzed alongside his head This
emphatic hint spurred him to redoubled efforts
He applied his whip vigorously. The pursued
and the puroher raced for nearly mle when
Starkworth fired a second shot. Gradually
Norton's team drew away from his enemy and
dashed into town at a fearful rate. running over
dogs and everything that Glanced to be in the
way. When he sighted policeman he stopped
his horses, explained the circumstances to him.
and about twenty-five minutes later lie per-
ceived Starkworth driving swiftly down the
street, and had him placed under arrest.

Vandalism at Yale,

RECKLESS AND FOOLISH STUDENTS PULLED
DOWN THE STATUE OF PROFESSOR sILLIMAN.
One of the grossest pieces of vandalism that
has taken place at New Haven in many years
was accomplished about l o'clock Tuesday
morning Oh Yale campus. Some unknown
students stole large derrick rope from the
new building going up where the Yale fence
used to stand, and then forming slipping
moose they threw it over the neck of the hand
some bronze statue of the Hon. Benjamin Sill
man and pulled it down to the ground, crack
ing the neck of the statue nearly off, badly
bending the base and chipping off large
piece OF the granite pedestal. The fall caused
shock like a small earthquake, as the statue
was about 8 feet high and weighed several
tons. The head was buried in the ground nearly
foot. The statue was in a corner of the
rectangle formed by Battell chapel and
Farnam building and was quite an ornament
to the campus. The majority of the students
condemn the outrage unreservedly, and the
members of the faculty are making earnest eff
forts to find out the daring iconoclasts.
They will, without doubt, be expelled from
college if their identity is discovered.

Signaling at Sea.

From the London Truth
1t is an extraordinary fact that there seems
to be no definitely established code of signal
ing at sea by which ships can communicate
with each other at night, or make known their
requirements to people on shore. To this re-
markable deficiency the loss of many ships and
hundreds of lives must be attributed, and last
week another melancholy incident occurred of
the urgent necessity for promptly settling a
comprehensive code. At Thracombe flash
lights were observed from some ship in the
channel, but the coast guards thought she was
merely signaling for pilot. Later. however,
Information was received that the steamship
Lymington was on the Pcnsborne rock, and the
coast guards started to her assistance with the
rocket apparatus, but before they arrived the
vessel sank with her crew. the cries of the
drowning men being heard distinctly on shore
There can hardly be doubt that if the vessel 5
signals had been understood some at least of
the victims would have escaped, and their
deaths are certainly due to the apathy of the
authorities who neglect to reform the signaling
code

Brooklyn at the National Capital.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Neither Secretary Tracy nor Congressman
William Copeland Wallace will take their fami-
lies to Washington until late in the fall. and
both of these officials will probably rent their
Brooklyn houses furnished while they are
away. Gen. Tracy lives on Montague street in
a large brown-stone front. There is not much
display OF wealth about the house, but it ap-
pears comfortable and homelike and is fur
nished in perfect taste. The parlor where the
new Secretary of the Navy received the con-

In Its way. HIS family includes a wife and one
child. and the former is very popular in the
fashionable society of the hill. In a social way
Mr.. Wallace enters upon his official life in WASH

is on terms Of pleasant friendship with Vice
President and Mrs. Morton; has large means
at his command, and is not ayerse to enter tain

receive valuable assistance from Mr.. Wallace
and his charming wife.
You may depend upon it that Gen. Tracy
will be one OF the best dressed men in Presi-
dent Harrison's cabinet. Before leaving town
last Monday the Secretary, in company with his
daughter, Mrs. Wilmerding, stole away from

Albert coats waistcoat and trousers to match,

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily News
Nine. Carnot has been earning the peace
makers blessing. Some time ago strife arose
at the Ecole Polytechnique between the pupils
and Gen. Henry, the governor, which ended in
the cadets boycotting his wife and in stopping
all holidays for the year. Mme Carnot takes a
great interest in her husbands former and her
sons future school, and, hearing of the strained
relations between Gen. Henry and the cadets
drove there yesterday and asked to be allowed
to mediate. The leading cadets were summoned
to her presence and she gave them kindly
lecture, advising them to offer an apology. She
said Gen. Henry knew that the future of France
in great degree depended upon the young
gentlemen under him, and that was the reason
OF his severity. Nine. Carnots mediation was,
needless to say. completely successful.

Everybody knows that the world is wearing

A close record of the output of the oil fields

that precious metals are dug out in less guam

mahogany and pine win some day be things OF
the past, like the buffalo robe and the dodo.
We are confronted with the fact that the guano
deposits will not last forever. that there is a
human limit to the production of electricity.
that our children several times removed will
have neither quinine, chloroform, nor aniline
dyes.

the fact that the time of stress is so far ahead

pleasant to learn that science is getting ready
for the rainy day. We are on the eve of a new

Aluminium. according to nature, is making

cheaper. lighter. stronger. and one-thousand
fold more plentiful and cheap.
Its price now puts the new element in the

time merely when we shall build our houses,
our telephones. and our air ships out OF the
sivery core of our common clay, instead of
heavy and refractory iron.
Heat and food. according to science, we are
to gather from the sea in proper fsh-culture
and wise electrical work. The economist
brightly believes that we will solve the labor
problem before the middle of the twentieth
century, and solve it to the satisfaction of both
parties.

From the New York Truth.
The sudden departure of Prince Eristoff on
the Burgoyne on Saturday for France was sad
blow to the small creditors he left behind him.
1 do not think the prince owed very much
money; but in getting away without allowing
himself to be sued arrested again, he de-
prived few ambitious tradespeople of an
opportunity to advertise themselves at his ex-
pense. His debts in New York do not, after all
represent any very large amount Of money
and, beyond the rather discreditable transac-
ton with Mr.. Rockwell. the fllrrier, doubt
whether there is anything that can be particu-
larly urged against him during his sojourn in
America. But for this unfortunate transaction
have not the least doubt that Prince Eristoff
would have succeeded in accomplishing that
which really brought him to this Countrywide
marrying Of a rich American girl. He came
here with no other purpose in mind. and he
was swimming on the sea of success when his
shattered all his hopes. 1t is this that led to
the expose of his previous life, and, conse-
quentiy killed all his cherished plans
Speaking of Prince Eristoff, received a
communication the other day from the Mar
quis de Leuville, who, in great jubilatIon of
heart, is having himself interviewed by some
of the English papers on the subject of his pre-
vious quarrel with this gentleman. The Mar
quis de Leuyille appears to gloat over the mis-
fortunes Of his former rival, and is evidently
making the most ont of the incidents connected
with his New York career. 1t appears from in
terviews that are now being printed in England
that the true cause of the trouble between the
marquis and the prince was that the latter Dor
rowed q handsome cigarette case from the for
mer and pawned it. This rather disposes of
the romantic story which was extensively circu-
lated at that time, and which involved the name
of lady well known in New York business
circles. But it also robs the Marquis de Leu
vile of q good deal of kudos which he enjoyed
as the chivalrous defender of a woman.
