FATAL EXPLOSION.

An explosion Of an extraordinary nature,
attended with fatal results, occurred on Satur-
day mo ming at Broalstairs. Between 10 and

station which he was having erected. He
took with IN a small parcel wrapped in
brown paper which he leceIved by the morn

opened owing, to its suspicious appearance.
Mr.. Richards saw one Martin, who was
experimenting the work for his brother, a
builder, Of Il msglte. Ca meeting him Mr..
Richards exclaimed, Here is 4 present for
you and seemed to want Martin to take it.
The latter. however, hesitated, so Mr.. Richards
holding he parcel in his left hand, cut the
STRING with a penknife, and an explosion in

ALLEGED ITALIAN AGREEMENT
WITH RUSSIA.

Berlin, Monday.
The further development Of the Siamose
question is awaited here with increasing in
terest.
To-day the Hamburger Nacbrjchtea. The
journal inspired by prince Bismarck from
Friedrichsruh, comments in a leading article
on the Kaiser's visit to England. and on the
attitude Of Great Britain to the Triple
Alliance. Considering that his M,iosty'a
pleasure trip to Cowes 10 enjoy and take part
III the regatta HAD been decided upon a wear
ago, it is strange that the ex. Chancellor's
organ should express a fear that the moment
was inopportune, on the ground that a senti
ment Of jealousy is now prevailing between
France and England, and might possibly
cause the French people to look askance at.
Germany. The writer goes on to say tLat
efforts are now being made in England to s.
cure Germany's support IN the event Of future
disputes-rofening by implication TO the
suggestions recently made in The DAILY Tele
graph.
The Nachriohtea advises the Utmost caution
and reserve on the part of Germany. While
fully approaching the value Of England as a
member OF the League Of Peace it is argued
that Great Britain already gains more than
she gives. An invasion OF England such as
Napoleon planned is out Of the question; and
6o ChiHSo NOW Stanu neither rance nor klS-
STA can move a regiment against England,
either IN Europe or in Asia, without thinking
OF what my happen on their immediate
f. entiers.
England's position in Egypt can only be
treated, automatically and G~ermany's vol CO
would outweigh that of France if she did not
come to terms with England.
Consequently the Hamburger Nachrichton
thinks it superfuous to make further con-
cessiens to Great Britain: W need not
abandon our traditional friendship with
England, nor even weaken it; but We shall
not be wise to make any unnecessary sacrif-
ces. England's sympathy would be of very
little use to US things became serious" The
writer is also afraid that any close rapproche-
ment with Britain would create greater
tension with Russia at a time when the
utmost tact Is necessary.
One sentence towards the close Of this
article has excited some astouishment. It
refers to the unreliahility of England. and
says: "Not even Italy feels her self secure,
for she has shown by her separate agreement
with Russia how little confidence she places
IN the fulflment Of English promises"
People are asking what is this Separate

John T. Dickey, we'll known by repu.
tation, at least to most of our citizens,
has just returned from visit to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. Mr.. Dickey
brings back glowing description OF
The Delaware Building, and says 1t is
the cosiest ard hsndsomest State
building on tho grounds. We are real
glad that Mr.. Dlckey has such good
ppinion OF our State building. But he
docs not say whether the mechanics
Hens against 1t have been satisfied or
not.
twill be recollected that the Legls-
lature OF Delaware. that Mr.. Dickey
had under his control to do his bid
ding, refused to make second appro-
priation to furnish the building, while
ut the same time it added one thous-
and dollars year to sfr. Dickey's
salary as receiver OF taxes and relieved
him Of the duty OF sitting even one
hour in the evening to receive taxes
from workinRmen.
We wonder II Mr.. Dickey thought
about these things while he admired
the architectural beauties OF the build
Ing and as Delawarean enjoyed the
kind reception awarded to him by
Mrs. Churchman and Hon. George V.
Massey, who had to go down In their
pockets for money to complete the
building. We do not suppose that any
OF these things pressed very heavily
upon the mind of Mr.. Dickey.
he got his thousand dollars addl-
tional salary from the Legislature and
the privilege OF preventing Republi-
cans from paying their taxes. even II
the Delaware building should go into
The hands OF the Chicago Sheriff. Why
should he bother himself about such a
small tribe as whether 1t was paid for
or not?
He had an extra thousand dollars in
his pocket that should have gone to
finish the State building. but this did
not seem to disturb the gravity Of his
mind in the least while admiring the
building and enjoying the hospitality
Of MIR. Massey and Mrs. Churchman
The voters OF New Castle county will
be very apt to think more about this
matter than Mr.. Dickey did.
