IN answer to several enquiries con-
Il corning Whale Boat Frames, we
have now in course of construction,
3 Whale Boat Frames "a feet by 32 feet

requiring little tact to set them up and
build. The full frame for such boats,
including cants, 45 sections in number,
is sold at $2S; with large stems on keel,
and ready to plank $40. They are not
intended to be clinker built, nor as the
frail imported whale boats proper, but
are intended for rough use and durabi-
lily, yet light witha1, for fishing and
trading purposes. We have exported
these frames and intend dong so, and

UNITED BRETHREN SPLIT.

Unable 20 Dwell Together IN Harmony
Conference Delegates sccede.
York, Pa. May 1.-The long ex.
rscted secession in the United Brethren
ssnserence TOOK place yesterday. When
& became known that the new consfitu.
ton was to 60 into effect Immediately
the minority left the building and held 9
secret meeting in another part of the
city. They then decided to band to
gether under the old constitution. Ac-
cordingly an open talk session was held
at p. IN. in the Park opera house,
Bishop Wright presiding. Sixteen min
listers were present who had ceased 70
act with the larger body In its delibera
tions.
This step is the elimination Of long
controversy, which was begun in its
present form four years ago at the gen
eral conference at Fostoria, @. The two
bodies now disagree as to which is the
old church. The minority or seeding
section claims that distinction because
they cleave to the old constitution,
while the majority claims that title be-.
cause the members have existed until
today since 1871 under the constitution.
and today work under it only IN an
amended form. The minority will hold
morning. afternoon and evening ses-
sions each day this week.
After the majority session had closed
many of the ministers visited the meet
ing held by the minority and listened to
the proceedings. The holters comprise
nearly one-sixth of the entire list of dele
gates and have opposed the lay dele
CATION in the general conference, and
also membership in secret societies.
They claim to have been willing to
compromise, but declare their opponents
would make no concessions whatever.

suspicious Circumstances Attending the
Death OF a N'ayward Girl.
NEWPORT, Pa, May IL A case OF
probable poisoning occurred at New
BEinssSs0, about ten niles from this place,
last week. which is creat1ne some COM
ment. There is a family named Ham
maker residing there. consisting Of Pat
rick Hammaker. his wi 3 and a dau shter,
who was 81 years Of age. 1t seems at
least such is the report that Flora lam
maker loved mot wisely but too Wei"
and got into trouble. Her chill was
born last summer. She expressed 4 wish
to marry the father of the offspring. but
her mother objected. and did not allow
her daughter 20 leave the parental roof
for months. Flora per sistently declared
that she would marry her lover, William
Erect, when she became of age. but her
mother declared that she would sooner
see her hauled to her grave than she
should marry him.
Wednesday of last week Flora, being
81 years old. determined to IeaAe home,
and her mother, knowing that she could
no longer restrain her, il is alleged, gave
her a drink of coffee before leaving.
Flora took the drink. and in a very short
time she complained of beng very sick.
AT o'clock in the evening she began to
vomit a greenish substance, and she con-
tinued to grow worse until D o'clock,
just one hour, when she died. No ply
stefan was sent for. After her death
her mouth and lips began to grow green.
her eyes bulged out and she swelled as
tight as the skin would allow. Her
funeral took place on Friday. Word
was sent to the district attorney, J. G.
MeAllister, and it is expected that he
will summon the coroner, disinter the
body and hold an inquest. The affair
looks very much as If the girl had met
with foul play at the hands Of some one.

OTTAWA, Ont, May IA. Some time
ago the customs department asked the
minister Of justice for an opinion on the
legality of the seizure OF the American
schooner Bridgewater. The minister has
replied holding that the Canadian au-

make the seizure and eventually the gov
eminent must accede to the demand
made BY the owner of the vessel for
damage. This opinion, along with the
other documents bearing upon the case.
will BE- transmitted to the imperial gov.
eminent.

Governor nm vetoes the saxton bin.


ALBANY, May ID. Governor Hill
vetoed the Saxton electoral reform bill
last night ON the ground of unconstitu-
tionality, and because of certain defects
which he thinks it contains.
The governor says he would sign bill
providing for secret compartments for
voting. Hewould also assent to official
ballots if private ballots were also al
lowed, leaving it optional with the voter
tc use either. He says that printing all
the names of all the candidates on one
ballot is unconstitutional. The consti-
tuition defines ballot as slip of paper
containing names to be voted for. This
implies that it shall not contain names
to be voted against.
The governor denies that the system
as embodied in this bin has ever been
successfully tried. He says that in
Australia, Canada and England the bal
lots, as rule, contain the names of the
candidate for one office only. This is
much simpler than the proposed plan.
The states which have adopted the sys-
tenn here have not vet tested it. The
only test has been at Louisville, in a
municipal election, and it resulted in the
throwing out of many defective ballots.
The governor urges the immediate
passage of the bill pending in the legis
lature for a secret ballot with official
tickets optional, and which provides for
sworn statements of election expenses,
forbids the use of pay envelopes or other
intimidation, and provides for the UNI
seating of member on proof of his hav-
ing used corrupt means to secure election.
