Devices for bringing this boy to a
sense of the material disadvantages Of
wrongdoing have been tried, but his
uniformly happy disposition is proof
against the punitive influence of any of
them. If he is sent to bed early be-
cause he has so torn and soiled his
clothes as to be unpresentable in the
drawing room, he turns up the next
morning with beaming smile and some
remark about the delicious rest he has
had. If his diet is reduced to plain
bread and water for the violation of n
rule Of the table, he discovers-without
the slightest hypocrisy, mind you-what
uncommonly fine bread the cook bakes,
and how much better water quenches
the thirst than milk or cambric tea.
If he is kept indoors because he has
abused a privilege of the yard or street,
he sets Cheerfully about amusing him
self in the house, just as content appar-
emily to lie ON his back for hour after
hour and indulge in day dreams as to do
anything else, and the chances are that
when it is all over his little voice will be
raised in praise Of the comforts of homes
in general and of his own in particular.
The only punishment he seems to dread
is a whipping, That has been resorted to
sparingly and always for some overt
and aggressive act which was wholly
without excuse; never for n mere mat

THE BORDEN CASE.
Speculation Because of the Dismissal OF
the Grand Jury for a Week.

Speculation Because of the Dismissal OF
the Grand Jury for Week,
TAUNTON, Mass, Nov. 22.-The grand
jury came in yesterday morning to attend
to business, but although there were
three new cases to be considered besides
the Borden murder case, the session was
a short one and by noon all had departed
for their homes, having been dismissed
until, it is said, week from Thursday.
This peculiar step is looked upon as an
indication that more evidence is being
sought for than has yet come to hand,
and that despite all the time thus far
occupied, the evidence obtained is not
deemed sufficient to warrant leaving the
matter in the hands of the jury.
On the other hand, the fact that the
jury is yet to meet on the case is inter
preted to show that something of an inn
portant nature is yet to come, in all
probability when a report is made.
If it means an Indictment, Miss Borden
will not be brought into court, but will
simply be served with copy of the in
dictment.

GREAT FRAUD ALLEGED
Panama Canal Co.'s Affairs te
Be Investigated.
WILD SCENES IN THE CHAMBER

The Government Denounced in the Sever
est Language - Deputies Called Eacl
Other ThIeves-A Number of Challenge
to Duels Follow - other Suicides MAJ
BE Looked for.
PARIS, Nov. 22.-There were wild
scenes in the Chamber Of Deputies whel
it was agreed that parliamentary in
quiry should be made as to the affairs of
the Panama Canal company.
Jules Delahaye, the Boulangist Deputy
from Chinon, denounced the government
in tine severest language, stating that the
authorities had permitted the most colos-
sal crimes to go unpunished He de-
mAnded that the men of influence and
wealth, accumulated by gigantic frauds,
be brought to exposure and punishment.
There was a clamorous scene while
Delahaye was speaking, others denounc-
ing his utterances. Angry recriminations
followed, and Deputies charged each
other in express terms with desire to pro.
tect the guilty.
One speaker said that he could point
out men in the Chamber who had shared
in the spoils A dozen Deputies rose in
an excited manner to ask him whom he
meant.
The answer was lost in the clamor and
confusion. Members shook their fists in
each others faces, aud several tried to
climb the tribunal at once The Prosi-
dent in vain raped for Order but no
body needed him.
The melee was more general and dis
graceful than any witnessed in the Cham
Der during the present republic, Depu-
ties called each other thieves, and fol-
lowed the insulting words with chal-
lenges to the death.
No less than three challenges were
given for duels.
NJ. Alexis Delauray, Moderate Repub-
lican Deputy for Beauvais, challenged
Antoine Germain, member of the Left
Centre. Boissy D. Anglais, member from
Ardeche, challenged M. Delahaye, and
Paul Deroulede, the noted Boulangist
challenged NJ. Hubbard, of Seine-et Pise,
anUi- Boulangist.

since the downfall of their party,
IL was useless for the Government Il

colored, lined it's banks, all watching the

who had risked their lives to escape ar.

One man was drowned, two ara re-

the effects of the plunge into the water

MISSING SINCE AUG. 2s.
Strange DisappearRnce Of Lad from
North Kittery, N. n.

North hibtefys ~ W.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Nov. %. The
residents of North Kittery are very much
lxcited over the strange disappearance of
Roland Norton, the 15-year-old son of
Samuel Norton Young Norton disap-
peared on Aug %, and since that time
no trace of his whereabouts has been
learned, and, what is more particular, no
effort has been made on the part Of the
father to learn OF the abiding place of his
son.
This strange paternal indifference,
taken in connection with the fact that
the father was in the habit Of cruelty
abusing the boy, has led the neighbors to
think that there has been foul play.
Norton says he thinks his boy is with his
mother in Chicago, but admits that the
lad had no money to take him there.
Norton, until about five years ago,
lived in Chicago. There be quarreled
with his wife, came East, and took up
his abode at the old homestead. His son
came about a year later.
So far no action has been taken toward
an investigation by the Selectmen of the
town, but a prominent townsman stated
last night that, unless some move was
made on their part, the county attorney
would be appealed to to clear up the mat

The Skagit river is so full of logs and

Nearly a million feet of logs came
down yesterday, tearing out the pier OF
Dne Wadon bridge, at Mount Vernon,
swapping the piles off like frail weeds.
The banks of the river are lined with
people watching the mad torrent.
Several breaks have occurred in the
levee, and the valleys and towns are the
scenes of desolation. The lower floors OF
the houses are covered with several feet
of water while the water in the streets
is so high as to make pedestrianism al
most imposs BILE.
In one place the break in the levee is
half a mile long, and six feet wide, and
the torrent is rushing inadly through the

Beaver Marsh and the town of Lacon-

driving their stock to high ground.
The damage to the farming district
