CoopER KNOCKED ouE
Congressman Robinson Carries Delaware
County for Blaine With n Rush.


PuILApELPHIA, Jan. 2l.-Congressman
John b. Robinson had things all his own
way at Media to-day. The Delaware
county Republican convention left over
from last year-to save trouble by going
through the customary motions of a
primary .election-assemble In the old
fashioned court house and less than 80 of
the 237 delegates failed to answer to their
names when County Chairman w. /.
Schaffer dropped the gavel as signal for
order and business.
The county, committee decided early IN
December that the delegates elected to the
county convention last June were compe-
tent to serve at the special convention, and
the assembly of to-day saved the expense
of primary election. AT no time during
the proceedings was there any Indication
that Collector Thomas V. Cooper had any
thing to say in the general result. AT no
time was the convention permitted to lose
sight of the fact that it was strictly Jack
Robinson body, and all its transactions
bore the Robinson slate mark. Enos Yer
lenden, Jr., was elected Republican
national delegate by reclamation. He is a
manufacturer of textile fabrics at Darby,
and four years ago was set aside by Mr..
Cooper for Mr.. Cooper's delegate, Captain
Isaac johnson. Delegate Verlender is for
trict is for Blaine.
-Four representatives to the next Repub-
lican state convention were elected to vote
just as Congressman Robinson deemed
best. AT the head of the list is George b.
Lindsay, q Chester lawyer. Then follow
William. J. Cain of Clifton Heights, ex-
Quarantine Master r. NJ Newhard, and
Albert p. Green, clerk in the auditor
generals department, at Harrisburg.
Robinson is Quay's fugleman in the Sixth
congressional district, and the result to-
day is complete defeat for the friends of
President Harrison.

TT WAS AN ANCIENT PALACE,
But the Fire Destroyed it with Its Many
Historical Associations.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 23.-A portion of the
residence of the Duke of Arenberg, in this
city, was discovered to be on fire at 9
o'clock this morning. The origin of the
fire is unknown. but 1t started in the bed
room of Princess Ludmille of Croy-
Dulmen, sister of the duke, who is the
wife of the hereditary Prince of Croy-
Dulmen. The princess and her young
children barely escaped with their lives.
The palace occupied by the Duke of
Arenberg was very old one and many
historical associations chung about it. In
it was the room known as Count EgInont's
cabinet, which for 1926 years has remained
exactly as it was left by that unfortunate
prince at the time of his arrest in 1867.
This room, together with its invaluable
contents, was completely destroyed. All
the works of art in the wing occupied by
the Princess of Croy-Dulmen and family
were lost. The palace was filled with
famous historical paintings and other
works of art, but with the exception OF
these parts of the structure above men-
toned, no damage was done.
Count Egmont, prince of Gavere, whose
room in the palace has been kept intact
for so many years, was beheaded in the
market place in Brussels on June 4th,
1868. 1t is related that as he received the
fatal stroke, Joahann Lavil, who had been
his mistress, fell dead and the people, in
paroxysm of sympathy, dropped hand
kerchiefs in the blood that had been shed
in martyrdom to freedom. Count Egmont
was executed by order of the Duke of
Alba, governor of the Netherlands, pri-
marily for the part he took in supporting
the Prince of Orange and the Beggars
League.

BLEACHING THE HAIR.
When woman reaches that milestone
IN her life, and becomes 80, her blonde
hair, If it is natural, is apt to darken, the
darkenlng process beginning. where it Is
least desirable; that Is. about the face. As
the years go on the hair naturally becomes
light brown, and assimilates perfectly
with the color that time has made her
skin, while II dulled her eyes. Now, if
she makes the mistake and bleaches her
hair, she will look ten years older than IL
she let it alone, for the glazing gold will
bring out every wrinkle, and will make
her eyes look as il they had been boiled.
Then she, begins to use makeup, and al
though she is only 80, and should be at
her best, she looks 40, and has decidedly
fast air that is undesirable. 1t may be
taken as positive fact that well-bred
women do not bleach their hair or paint
their faces, and no matter how strong may
be the temptation to have locks like the
angels, can only say to the girl who is
,wavering as to whether 1t shall be gold or
brown, TO let the fatal peroxide alone

The opinion of the men Well, it is best
summed up in what a young gentleman ~
who had been engaged In artistically color
ing the town said, when some of his friends
were trying. to keep him from speaking to
a woman whom they knew to be respect
able, and yet whose hair was of the brassy
shade that always announces itself: ~ will
speak to her-1 tell you will speak to her;
she can't be straight or she wouldn't have
that kind of hair Don't you think that
sums up the situation Gilt and guilt are
apt to be COMPOUNDED, as far as man is con-
cerned. And they are not such bad judges,
these men, after all. They know we'll
bred woman when they see her. And they
will say this:
WHAT IS A wELLBRED WOMAN?
A well-bred woman never dresses so that
she attracts attention on the street,
well-bred woman never talks about
her personal affairs In public places.
A well-bred woman doesn't let door
slam in the face of the next conner.
well-brcd woman doesn't drop first her
purse, and then her handkerchief and
then her gloves, and then her flower in a
public restaurant until everybody is look
ing at her.
well-bred woman doesn't read her
morning mail in the street cars.
A well-bred woman doesn't tell the name
Of any celebrity she may have met when
she is travelling.
A well-bred woman is quiet and refined;
a man Is proud to be seen with her, and he
can pick her out from among thousand,
which is very much more than the average
woman can do.
Isn't that so? BAR.

Persons Injured.

Three Buildings Completely Buried
Two Women Killed and About Twenty
Persons Injured.
PARIS, Jan. ga most peculiar and
fatal accident is reported from Dieppe-
dale, in the Department of Seine, in
feieure. Near that town is high
preo'l ice, at the foot Of which are a
number of houses. This morning, with
out moments warning, the rock at the
top OF the precipice, for distance of
100 yards, crashed down with thunder
ing noise upon two buildings used as
laundries, and another house, COM
pletely burying them.
Everybody in the vicinity was terribly
startled by the noise and shock, and It
was at first thought that an earthquake
mad visited the place. The true nature
OF the accident was soon learned, how
ever, and then all efforts were directed
to removing the tons of rock which had
fallen. Ii was thought that every person
in the crushed and buried buildings
would be found dead, but they had not
worked long before they heard means
and cries and appeals for help.
As the news spread to the surrounding
country, sturdy peasants fastened TO
the scene of the accident, and took
hand in the work Of rescue. II was not
long before the rescuers had removed
man, who, though badly injured, was
still alive. This gave heart to the work.
ers and their labors were continued
until they had taken 30 persons, men,
women and children, from the ruins, ali
of whom were more or less injured.
Two women were taken out dead,
their bodies being frightfully mangled
by the immense weight that had fallen
upon them.

BURGLAR DROWNED.
He Broke Through the Ice While Trying
to Escape Arrest.

CHESTER, Pa, Jan. 22.-An unknown
burglar was drowned last night in Darby
creek while trying to escape from Police
Officer Edward Campbell and Harry
Harvery, an employee of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington g. Baltimore Railroad Com
pany. The burglar was surprised by
Harvery while trying to gain an entrance
into the Sharon Hill Convent.
Harvery raised an alarm, and Officer
Campbell was soon ON the scene. An excit-
ing chase then took place. The burglar
had been able to get good start, and he
led the way over the snow-covered fields
When near the Darby creek the burglar
disappeared In clump of bushes. and the
pnrsuers lost sight of him until they heard
crack Of the ice ON the creek, followed by
loud splash.
Going to the bank they saw the burglar
struggling in the water. They were unable
to render any aid, but they kindly advised
the struggling man to kick off his boots
and try to keep his head above water while
they went to look for a plank.
1t did not take very long for the cold
water to benumb the wOuld-be burglar,
and he sank beneath the ice. This morn.
ing, the creek was dragged for the body
and 1t was soon recovered.
He was man about SO years of age with
dark hair, sprinkled with gray, and black
moustache. He was dressed in dark
clothes, the overcoat he wore being nearly
new. There was nothing on his person
which would lead TO his identity.

An Alleged Scheme on Foot to Secure All
Available Property on Water street.

Available Property on Water Street.
John A. Wilson, purchasing agent for
the Pennsylvania railroad, at the office of
the engineering and surveying depart
ment. on Friday, turned over the property
on Front and Water streets between
Market and French, which he recently
purchased, to the r., w. & b. Railroad
Company.
The purchase of this property for the
company, already chronicled in THE
GAZETTE. is not thought to be significant
Of the fact that tile company proposes
building on the recently purchased prop
erty at an early day, but from the best
Tor some time there has been a disposition
on The part of the corporation to buy up
all the available property at the location
mentioned, with a view to preventing it
falling into other hands.
II is claimed that the company is not in
need of any alterations in the tracks
through this city at present and that the
accommodations in this respect are all that
can be desired for some time to come. The
proposed elevation of the tracks is not
generally accepted as u reason, as it
claimed that the negotiations for the pur-
chase of the property were pending long
before the proposition to build bridge at
Fourth street was considered at all.
The purchase of the property on Water
street it is stated. definitely ended the suit
brought by John Crawford, at the corner
Of Water and King streets, who claimed
damages Of the p, w. & b. Railroad Com
pany for injury to his property by vibra-
ton from passing trains. 1t is thought
this was another inducement TO the COM
pany to purchase the property at this
place in order to avoid other such suits.
Property owners along the railroad
had complained Of the damage done their
property by the railroad company by
reason of the continual passing of trains,
which they claim has settled the founda-
tons of the houses and entailed consider
able pecuniary loss to the owners. The
head railroad officials are very reticent
when approached in reference to the pur-
chase of the property.

Theaters Feel the Dukes Death.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-The ordering of the
court into mourning because of tile death
of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale has
had serious effect upon the theaters.
Many persons outside the court and officials
will observe the mourning period, with the
result that the manager will probably lose
good round sum Of money. On Wednees-
theaters were not opened, and this entailed
quite severe loss TO the managers. The
poorness of the attendance i'm the best
weather at the various performances since
then has evidenced that the reports of the
week will show an important reduction.
