DIED FOR A LOST LOVE.
A Colored Damsei Seeks Solace in
a Watery Grave.


disappointment in Love the Cause--Jiited
by Her Favored Swain, Clara Chambers
Soothes Her Tortured Heart in Deaths
Embrace.
Suicides among colored people are of
rare occurrence, and it is doubtful if one
ever happened in this community before
Saturday. on that day one did happen
and it was of startling, even sensa-
tional character
The victim was Clara Chambers, a
comely colored woman about 25 years
of age, who walked downed to the foot
of Shipley street about $50 O'Clock Sat
urday, \ paused FOR an instant upon
the wharf and then deliberately jumped
into the Ghristiana. She sank instantly
and was drowned before assistance
could reach her.
The old, old story, faithless lover
and unrequited love, was the cause Of
the tragedy. Clara had lover in the
person Of Edward Peddy, colored man
who works for the Wilmington Hide
and Tallow Association, at No. 2lS Tat
nall street, but recently he yielded 70
| the wiles' of another damsel and turned
his back upon his old love. Clara
! pleaded with him, but without avail, and
| Friday night, il is said they had a decided
row, which ended with Edward as OBJ
durate and hard-hearted as ever, while
Clara was overwhelmed with grief and
tears.
On Saturday she determined to end
her troubles i'll death, and without tax.
ing time to reflect upon her rash resolu.
ton walked quickly to the wharf at the
foot of Shipley street and jumped over
board Her act was noticed by persons
on the bridge, and word was sent to the
boat-house on the other side of thu
stream. John McAIanus and Franz
Speakman put off in boat, and, afte
graphing around for more than half al
hour succeeded in recovering the body;
short distance above the spot from
which the fatal plunge was taken. |
was lifted out upon the wharf and after
wards taken in charge by Deputy Cor
oner Giles, who removed it to tn
morgue.
The victims home was on Jones stree
little thoroughfare running east iron
Lombard street, between Sixth AM
Seventh.
Coroner Sparks held an inquest o.
Tuesday evening. The jury rendered
verdict Of suicide. Peddy was arreste
but afterwards discharged.

Harrington.

Harrington.
Last Thursday, at Harrington, the
first county organization in Delaware OF
the Farmers Alliance was instituted.
In order to form county organization
there must be five local organizations;
and one-third of the territory must be
organized preliminary to state organi-
cation. In Delaware the formation of a
state organization will be deferred until
after two county organizations have
been formed. In Sussex there are now
four organizations, and one more will
entitle the Alliance to a State organiza-
ton. In Kent county there are six or
CARNATIONS; in New Castle county there
are, as yet, none.
The six organizations of Kent county,
represented by 26 delegates at the Har-
rington meeting, are; vernon Alli-
ance, No. 1; Marshy Hope Alliance, No.

C.iN4DT4N RECIPROcIrY.
A Delegation of Canadians to Visit WASH
ington With This End in View.

TORONTO, ONT, Feb. 3.-The EnpiTe,
the chief organ of the Dominion gov
eminent, announces this morning that,
acting on the advice of his RESPONSE
bility of his ministers, his excellency,
the governor-general, has been pleased
to dissolve the house of commons and
issue writs for new parliament. The
nominations will take place on Thurs
day, February 26th, and the polling on
Thursday, March 9th.
As the reasons which have induced
the government to appeal to the country
at this time the Empire gives the follow
ing: ut is understood that the Domin-
ion government has through her
maiesty's government made certain pro-
posals to the United States for negotla-
tons looking to the extension of our
commerce with that country. These pro-
posals have been submitted to the Presi-
dent for his consideration. The govern
ment is of the opinion that if these nego-
tiations are to result in treaty which
must be ratified by the parliament OF
Canada, it is eXpedient that the govern
ment should beable to deal with a parlia-
ment fresh from the people rather than
with moribund House.
1t is understood that Canada will
send delegation to Washington after
March 4th; the date on which the life Of
the present Congress expires for the
purpose of discussing informally the
questions of the extensions and develop
ment of trade between the United States
and Canada and the settlement of all
questions of difference between the two
countries. This delegation will visit
the United States capital, it is said, as
the result of friendly suggestions from
Washington.

PARIS, Feb. 3.-Michael Eyraud, the
murderer of Gouffe, was executed at
720 O'Clock, this morning, on the Place
de la Rouquette.
Eyraud met his fate with fortitude or
sullen resignation. There were but few
witnesses of the execution, owing to the
fact that it was not generally known,
until too late for the newspapers to an
nounce yesterday evening, that the
famous criminal was to meet his death
to-day.
When the governor Of the prison, La
Roquette, and the prison chaplain,
fAbbe Fourre, were ushered into
Eyrauds cell, short time previous 10
the hour fixed for the condemned mans
execution, they found that he wa
already up and dressed, evidently fore
warned, contrary to the rules, by some
Eind-hearted prison official.
Eyraud declined glass Of Cognac
which was rendered by one of the
wardens, and in spite of the earnest
solicitations of pAhhe Fourre. the MUIR
derer positively, even angrily refused to
listen to the good priests prayers, to
pray himself, or 10 have any religious
rites performed in his behalf.
The Ahbe's pleading with the crimi-
nal in that dark cell this morning while
within and without the prison all prepa
rations were made to usher the stller
prisoner into another world, was proba
bly, the most solemn and dramatic Incl
dent of the execution. But Eyraud's
iron will was not to be shaken even il
the presence of death and he continued
impatiently to refuse religious consola
ton while on the death march to thu
guillotine which had been erected dur
ing the night by M. de Paris and hi
grim assistants.
When pinioned and upon the point o
being overturned upon the bascull O.
guillotine Eyraud with movement a
of angry or sullen resentment refused
to return the last kiss bestowed upol
him by l'Abbe Fourre as customary il
case of criminals upon the point of beinl
executed.
The action of the guillotine on Fly
raud's neck was we'll beneath the up
rights and instantaneous. There was ;
flash and all was over, Eyraud's heat
had fallen into the sawdust-tilled recep
tacle which awaited it, Then followed
tine usual mock funeral and the body o
Goutfe's murderer was handed over t.
his (Eyraud's) relatives and acquaint
| anceS.

PEAsANrD1spnAo Ds THE FARMER
Why Farms Are Deserted--The Forma-
ton of a DISTINCT Peasant Glass,

why Farms Are Deserted--The Forma-
ton of a DISTINCT Peasant Glass,
Prof. Rodney WEIGH in the February Forum.
II may sound strange to eastern read
ers, but it is nevertheless true, that there
are more farms in Illinois, Wisconsin
and Iowa that have been deserted by
their owners than there are in New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts.
In the New England states owners leave
their farms because the labor spent in
cultivating them is no longer remuner-
alive, but such is not the case in the
prairie regions of the west There the
owners of farms leave them for the
reason that they can obtain sufficient
rent from tenants to enable them to
support their families in towns. Cities
in several of the western states contain
hundreds of retired farmers. SPRING
field, ILL.,, and GAINESVILLE, Wis, are good
examples of the towns in which these
absentee landlords reside. These re-
tired farmers or absentee landlords take
little interest in keeping up good ROADS
in the townships in which their land is
situated, OF in sustaining schools OF Is
high grade. AS rule they do not even
keep up the improvements on their
farms or commence new ones They
erect no substantial buildings, plant no
orchards and vineyards, and set out no
ornamental trees and shrubs. Their
farms are worked as mines and quarries
are, for the amount of marketable ma
terial they can be made to produce. AS
their tenants ordinarily lease the land
from year to year, they have no interest
in making improvements.
The result Of this is the formation of
distinct peasant class, such as is found
in Bavaria and Bohemia. In entire
counties in Illinois and Wisconsin the
English language is scarcely ever heard
outside the large towns. The church
services are conducted in foreign
tongue, and instruction is given in it in
the schools. The intellectual condition
of the people who occupy farms is not
above that of the lowest class of laborcrs
in our large cities. The townships they
inhabt seem like detached portions OF
central Europe put down near the cen.
ter of the New World. Nominally these
men may be citizens, for town polite
ians have had them passed through the
naturalization mill; but they know lit.
tie and care less about the institutions
of the country

CANADA WILL BE OURS.
Goodwin Smith Says Annexation is That
Country,s Destiuy.

SouHtryt oebbiuy.
TORONTO, Feb BIN address to the
Liberals tonight Goodwin Smith said
the manifest political destiny of Canada
was union with the United States, and
he ridiculed the attempt to make bar
rier of loyalty against the current of
Canada's destiny. He said the cry of
disloyalty had had serious effect in
preventing fair consideration of ques-
tons of vital importance to Canadians.
He said:
II have been asked if l am with you
in the struggle why l do not join the
party. reply that am with you, and
with any one in a struggle such as that
in which you are now entering against
commercial monopoly and government
by corruption, and | hope with other
citizens to do my best. But when | am
asked to join party my answer must
be that have always steadfastly set my
face toward national government, and
that | and others, if there are any who
think as do, are more likely to dogood
by being true TO our own principle and
saying what there is to be said for it,
than by compromising it in order to
take q more active part in politics.
We are disloyal, it is said, because
We propose to enter into tariff arrange
ment with the United States, and by
entering into such an arrangement it is
said we would compromise the fiscal
Independence of Canada. OF course
You cannot make treaty without sur
rendering TO that extent, and so long as
a treaty lasts SO does your independence
of action. But if treaty is fair, where
is the dishonor? Great Britain will see
at last that she has no real interest here
but amity and trade. The unity of the
race, and the immense advantage of q
settlement which would shut out wal
from this continent and make it one
economical whole, will prevail,
feel convinced, in the and over
evil memories and the malignant
efforts of evil men. That such con
summation will come in my time is un-
likely, though government OF
monopoly and corruption is driving il
on apace. There might be danger and
there might be disloyalty in touching
this question, if there were on the part
of the Americans any disposition to ag-
erosion. But there is none. The desire
of Americans to bring Canada into the
union at all has always appeared to mt
very weak. 1t would be disloyalty t.
even think Of anything less than equal
and honorable union, such as that be,
/ tween England and Scotland. But who
does think of anything less?

ATTEMPTS AT BURGLARY.
Two Wou1d-be House-breakers Detected
Throughout the Night.

Two attempts at burglary were made
in the vicinity of Ninth and Tatnall
streets Sunday night. Two suspicious
characters were seen going in the alley
leading to rear of the residence of Milton
Lackey, No. 217 West Ninth street, by
Mrs. Bennett who lives opposite. The
latter called ex Mayor Rhoads' attention
to the fact and he notified the police.
The presumed BURGLARS had flown,
however, before the officers arrived.
A second attempt was made by per-
haps the same men to enter the residence
of Z. II. Rumford, No. 917 Tatnall
street. While trying to pry open back
door, the would-be burglars were de-
tected by two servants, who raised an
alarm and scared away the bold in
truders. Afterward two men who am
swered the description of the above sur
veyed the house of James HI. Hofecker,
No. 1000 West street, and one loaded a
revolver under the glare of an electric
light. Subsequently another man was
seen loading revolver while standing
near the stone fence on the Adams street
side of the Wilmington and Brandywine
cemetery. The same men were seen at
other places during the night by the
police, but they did no harm.

watching for the Ground Ho.

The Baltimore San says: Candlemas
day was bright and clear. A large
crowd of curious persons collected In
front Of the apartments occupied by the
ground hog at Druid Hill Park to see
that time -honored old seer make his OBJ
servations. A tall, solemn.faced young
man, with an ulster and camera, was
determined to know all about it and to
keep proof of the occurrence. For
three hours he stood there, with his eve
intently fixed ON the hole from which
the prophet was to emerge and his hand
ready to take the picture the moment
he appeared. There seemed to be some
doubt as to where the ground hog
prophet really was, One benevolent
looking old gentleman remained for a
long time on his knees before the prairie
dog cage, eagerly watching the move
ments Of the little animals, under the
impression that they were ground hogs.
As the ground hog did not show him
self, there will be six weeks of bad
weather, according to tradition.
