DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
An Insane Clergyman Murders His Boy
and Then Commits Suicide.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 16.-While
temporarily insane, Rev. Frank D. Lee,
son of the late Cassius f. Lee, living
near the Theological Seminary in Fair
fax County, killed his nine-year-old son, I,
to whom he was greatly attached, and
then committed suicide. The tragedy
was only discovered last night. The
neighbors, suspecting that something
was wrong, broke open the house and
found the bodies lying upon bed.
Mr.. Lee was a man of superior ability
and cultivation, was graduate Of the
University of Virginia and of the Theo-
logical Seminary, and for several years
exercised acoeptably his ministry in the
Episcopal Church. He was subsequently
compelled to give 1t up on account of i'll
health and since 1886 has been living in
retirement on Seminary Hill.

and broke windows and created an up

dispersed it, but the rioters returned
again and again, only to be repelled by
the officers.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June 18.-There was
serious riot in this city last night
For several weeks there has been q dis
pute regarding the legality of two Police
Commissioners on the board in this city,
and the old board Of last year has held
over and had secret meetings, attended
only by Commissioners w, e. Grant,
David Walsh and A. Rishor.
Ata secret meeting last Saturday night
they dismissed Chief Rylands, the Demo-
cratic head of the police force, and Mayor
Marigold. Republican, refused to recognize
their right, and officer Murphy, who had
recently been suspended by Chief Ry
lands for drunkenness, reported to Capt.
Pinkerman, the head of the police force
in the absence of a chief, by order of the
old Police Board.
The AS patrolmen of the city, when or
dered out for duty last night, took sides
on the dispute as to who were the legal
commissioners, and one-third of them,
Democrats, refused to obey the order to
remain on duty. They openly de1ed
Chief Rylands and reported to the cap
tain.
Mayor Marigold, the highest authority
In the city, was called, and ordered the
men to obey Chief Rylands. Onethird
of the patrolmen refused, and the others
were commanded to disarm their brother
officers. This they did, but only after q
terrific struggle.

The grape crop in South jersey just
coming in promises TO be the biggest
crop in fourteen years. For the past
few years growers have been discourag-
ed by the damage done by the rot, but
this year expect to reap rich rewards
from their vineyards. The discourage
ment had reached such a point that
farmers were blowing up their vine
yards, but this will now be abandoned
as it is felt that a remedy has at last
been found.
Vintors are making extensive pre-
parations to harvest the crop. The
wine vaults at Egg Harbor, which are
the largest in the country, will be filled
up with choice wine for the first time
in fifteen years. The grape crop at
Vineland is enormous. 1t is estimated
that 200, 900 gallons of wine will be
made at Egg Harbor City alone, most
Of which will he put in vaults. After
it is a year or so old it is sold and com

The Causes of IA Party's Decay.

Mrs. John ~. Logan thinks that the
Republican party is disintegrating-
''falling to pieces of its own weight.n
She mournfully attributes this condi-
ton of things to the fact that ''the old
leaders, who 81 victory for the party.
are gone, and in their place stand many
whose ambition and avarice overleap
their patriotism and loyalty to party"
As to the fact of the party's decay,
Mrs. Logan is manifestly right, but
her diagnosis of the causes is not COM
prehensiye enough. The party's loss
of the old leaders is less important than
its acceptance of the new. 1t prefers
Foraker 10 John Sherman. 1t exalts
Quay and consorts with Dudley. 1t
bows before Platt and suffers him to
crowd out of place such men as
Erhardt. In brief, the party's loss
of strength is due TO its deterioration
of character-a deterioration SO mark
ed that in Pennsylvania such news.

This year six new Senators will be
elected, four of the retiring members
being Democrats and two Republicans.
Next year there will be seven to be
elected in place of four Republicans
and three Democrats, the former now
redresenting Atlantic, Cumberland,
Mercer and Ocean. and the latter the
counties of Bergen, Hudson and Nor
ris. While it is somewhat hazardous
to speculate politically at such long
range, yet as 1892 is a presidential
election year, it is quite probably that
the senatorial status will not be then
changed, the Republican counties re-
turning Republican senators, rs they
are now represented. Consequently
the election of senators this year and
their votes on the United States Sena.
torship in 1898 is of Importance to both
parties. The seats to be filled are those
of Carter, Rep, Burlington; Leaning,
Rep, Cape May; Everett, Dem, Hun
terdon; Adrain, Dem. Middlesex; NAL
Ion, Dem, Passaic; Mcdonald, Dem,
Hudson; Smith, Dem, Sussex. OF
course Hudson will return u Demo-
cratic Senator. The Democrats are
almost certain to elect their candidates
in Hunterdon, Middlesex and Sussex.
The Republicans will probably fill the
seat occupied by Mallon, but they may
lose both Burlington and Cape May. In
fact the chances of the Democrats cap.
turing both these counties is ten-fold
greater than they had last year when
they SO brilliantly and overwhelmly
captured Gloucester and Salem. Nc
stone will be left unturned to have
South jersey represented in the State
Senate next winter by four Democratic
members.
