cuLPABLE NEGLECT
win Cost the Government a Hundred
 Thousand Dollars.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.- Damages to the United States cruiser Atlanta through the culpa- ble disregard of some of the officers of the navy of the regulations gov perning the care and preservation of ships, cost the government $l00, GOO and will deprive 1t of thel services of that vessel for over seven months. A detailed report of the work necessary to put the Atlanta in condition, including those of water-tight compartment doors, which were allowed to rust so as to prevent them closing, and for which no one seemingly can be held responsible, for the disgraceful state shows thas over $100, 900 will have boen used when she IS again ready for ser vice. Entire new decks will be put on it, and the greater part ot the machinery will require attention. Her boilers are said to be in fair condition and will last through an other cruise. Changes are to be made by the ordnance bureau iD the main and secondary batteries, which vii greatly improve the efficiency of the vessel. Six-inch centrifugal guns are to be placed forward and aft, in place of those now on board. This done will admit a greater radius of fire than allowed by those by which are now worked on gun circles on the forward starboard and afterport carriages. Her secondary battery will also be changed by. the substi- tuition of rapid fire pieces for Hotch- kiss, the cannon she now carries.

 LONDON, Sept. 11.-The sensa- ton of the day here is the attack made yesterday upon Mr. Gladstone by Rev. Frederick Davies. Mir. Gladstone, it appears, attended di- vine services at the Episcopal Church at Blairgowie, and the sa- cred edi6ce in honor of the premier's visit was packed with people anxious to see the great Liberal leader On previous Sundays it would seem the church mentioned had not been crowded with worshipers Rev Frederick Davies, who was to preach the sermon, publicly insulted Mr. Gladstone by refusing to snake hands with the venerable statesman before the service. la addition dur ing the sermon the clergyman vehe- mently condemned the people present for, as he claimed, coming to church for the unworthy motive to worship a creature other than the Creator. The remarks of Rev. Frederick Davies caused much indignation among a majority of those present.

The Cruiser Detroit Will be Sent to
 Nicaragua.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The sec retary of the navy has issued orders to the commandant of the Norfolk navy yard to prepare the new cruiser Detroit for sea at once. Her destination is Greytown, Nicaragua, where the department believes trouble has again broken out. The presencesof another warship in ad- dition to the Alliance on the west coast is deemed necessary for the protection of our interests. Both the state and navy departments made efforts this week to reach our representatives in Nicaragua, and the inability to do so is taken as an indication that a revolution has begun which necessi- tated the absolute control by one of the parties of the telegraph lines. The Detroit has been at the Norfolk yards for several weeks fitting out for active service, and this will be the first cruise outside of the Chesa- peake Bay, with the exception of the run to Long Island Sound for a trial trip. It is not believed she can get away before Tuesday as some alterations are being made in her machinery, which cannot be completed before then. Capt. Brownson is her commander, and she has full complement of officers and men. The last communication received from the Alliance was dated August IS, and reported affairs quiet. Under ordinary steaming the Detroit should make the trip in- side of five days.

Middletown, Conn, Sept. ga dis
covery of what has the appearance OF
double murder, and may prove to be
triple assassination, has just been made
Mt Birmingham, at the foot OF the
Shawangunk mountains. The events
leading up to the supposed murders date
a little time back. Paul Holiday,
widOwer, who resides near Birmingham,
recently married a young woman who
had been working for him. Soon after
the marriage the house and barn were
burned and his crippled son was burned
to death In the house. Mrs. Holiday
was arrested for arson and held In the
Orange county Jail, where she showed
evidence of insanity. She was sent TO
the state hospital, and, subsequently be-
ing released, returned home. The latter
part of last week Holiday was missed
and the woman was arrested. In the
barn at Holidays place was found un-
der lot of hay the bodies of two
women. One was that of q fleshy woman
about forty-fye years old, and the other
that of young girl aged about nineteen
years. In the body of the elder woman
there were eight bullet wounds. Death
had evidently taken place in both cases
about four days before. While the names
of the dead women are unknown, it is
thought they were summer boarders from
New York city. Coroner Soesh of
Wurtsboro has summoned a jury and
local physicians are making q post
mortem examination. The inquest will
be held tomorrow afternoon. The search
for Holiday continues.
