ALL HAIL ! A THAW !!
DELlVERENcE FROM THE ICE KING
PROMISED TOMORROW.

Notwithstanding the Slough of slush
which Warm Weather VIII Bring
HaIf-Frozen Mortals viii Hail with
JOY as an Agency of Reducing Famine
Prices.
The people of this city will hail the
Weather Bureaus prediction of warmer
weather tomorrow with mingled sad
ness and Joy. With sadness because Of
awful visions of streets ankle-deep in
slush and dripping roofs and awning
posts; with Joy because it will release
ice bound traffic and thereby reduce the
famine price OF food.
Carloads upon carloads of coal are
side-tracked near the mines while coal
dealers in this city are obliged to sat
isfy general demand by a reduction of
their meagre stock in hand and charge
So % for the obligation. What few eggs
the hens condescend to lay are shelved
in farmers cellars while clamOring pro
duce men furnish frantic buyers from
their scanty horde at 40 cents dozen.
These and other articles of consumption
will become less costly when the cold
spell breaks.
When questioned about the status OF
poultry, meat and potatoes dealers and
resturateurs sadly shake their heads.
The proprietor of a we'll known restaur-
ant in this city refused to purchase
several bushels of choice potatoes at
$3.50 a bushel a week ago though his
supply badly needed replenishment.
Now he must either buy at that price OF
do without. It is anticipated that 81
will soon be reached and daily attacks OF
melancholia are only dissipated by visions
of next summers harvest.
These be the days when the plumbers
rise from obscurity and spell their trade
with capital P. Frozen hydrants have
placed the citizens in their hands and
they charge heavily for the honor
Iiverymen, too, have been accused Of
smiling more often than is their won't.
For the past fortnight Wilmington
has been in the hands of the plumber anC
the liverymen. Tomorrow, If the
weather men are right, she will once
more own herself.

GENERAL PROGRESS REPORTED.

mate Scope of Educational Work De-
fined-The Need and value Of Prayer.
More Delegates Expected.
About sixty delegates were present at
this mornings session Of the Y. M. c. A.
convention in st. Paups Church. Re
ports from the several associations
showed general prosperity and increased
membership. A report of the condition
of the Hagerstown branch will be read
this afternoon.
J. E. Pugh Of Washington read a paper
on: "The Legitimate Scope Of the
Educational Work in the Association.
He considered that branch of the work
one of the most important. It led mem
bers to study who had entered merely
for gymnasium privileges and brought
into the association many men who saw
an opportunity for pursuing studies
neglected and unappreciated in their
school days.
Secretary at Large Wishard conducted
Bible study in which he cited manv
Biblical quotations to emphasize the
need of prayer.
Only half the number of delegates ex.
pected have arrived in the city. Fully
seventy-fve more, it is thought, will be
present at the sessions tonight and to-
morrow and at the opening of the evan

was statement made by Bohutel, a
brother of his first wife who long ago
attempted to extort money from him on
the threat to denounce him as a Prus-
sian spy, and who had even sent docu-
ments to General Boulanger, then minis
ter Of war, endeavoring TO establish the
accusation. General Boulanger had felt
so little confidence in Bohutels state
ments that he declined to inquire into
the charges and handed the documents
to Herr.
Willing for Investigation.
DR.. Herr said that he was willing to
submit these documents to the commit
tee of investigation of the Chamber of
Deputies, and if the committee refused to
examine them he would lay them before
jury of honor. So far from being a
traitor to France he was passionately de
voted to France and had gone to much
personal trouble to serve French inter
ests. In seeking to detach Italy from
the Triple Alliance he went to Rome and
cultivated the friendship of Signor
Crispi He had exchanged letters with
Signor Crispi which he was ready to pro-
duce before jury of honor.
DR.. Herr showed to the interviewer a
letter from General Menabrea, formerly
Italian minister at Paris, written in fiat
tering terms and introducing him to Sig
nor Crispi Herr also showed other let.
ters written by General Menabrea while
ambassador, expressing high esteem for
Herr. DIR. Herr added that he took
Ge neral Menabrea's own son into his
employment at salary of 1000 francs
month and spared neither pains nor
money to gain Menabrea over to the side
of France.
In conclusion DR.. Herr stated that nc
act of corruption could be traced to him.
During the whole of the alleged cam.
paign of corruption he was never in
France, having been travelling abroad
at the time AS to the future he pre-
ferred suicide to prison.

Uniawfui Federal Advantage.

That the resolution will be indefinitely
postponed is a foregone conclusion.
Speaker Houston, Senators Ross, Wat
son, Pilling and McMullin will certainly
vote against it and it is thought likely
that Senator Williams will act with them
if he is able to be present. The Demo-
Gratis who oppose it are actuated BY the
same motive which prompts Mr.. Ross.
They thin that New Castle lawyers and
Democrats should have enough party
pride to do what they promised.
The indications are that the opposi-
tion will not stop short Of anything but
indefinite postponement. The House
ands itself in very strange position at
the hands Of the Senate, and some Of the
members are very much agitated.
