The people of New York have their
own United States Senators to blame
for the loss Of representative from
that State upon the supreme Bench
an honor which New York had enjoyed,
with but single break of a few years,
since the first organization of the Su-
preme Court in 1889. AS far as the
country at large is concerned, the va.
cancy has been satisfactorily filled.
Justice White is lawyer and jurist of
high character and unquestloned ability,
who has been an associate justice of the
supreme court of his own State. This
was reason enough for his selection by
President Cleveland, when he had salts
fled himself that Hill ard his coadjutors,
mainly Republicans, were determined
to antagonize the appointment of
worthy and capable jurists from the
Empire State. But, as usual, there
are some ingenious persons who see
more in this matter than APP
pears on the surface-who, in fact,
are gifted with deeper insight than
perhaps even the President himself So
it happens that we find, in an exchange,
the explanation that the elevation of
Senator White to the Supreme Bench
really means that Frederic II. Coudert is
to be made Ambassador to Paris. These
are the links in this fanciful chain ::
MIR. White leaves the Senate for the
Bench Ambassador Eustis returns from
Paris to take Senator Whites place !;
Mr.. Coudert goes to Paris to fill the
vacant ambassadorship. This will prob.
ably be news to President Cleveland,
and it is open to the hitch that the Hill
Higgins combination might object very
seriously to the confirmation of Ambas.
sador Coudert, who, being an honorable
man, is Objectionable to these friends of
Maynard GU the same ground with
Hornblower and Peckham.

In Saturdays issue of the Dover Dela-
scarean, John f. Salisbury treats his
old friends of the newspaper fraternity,
as well as the people of Delaware at
large, TO a surprise indeed. This is
nothing less than the announcement
that he has sold the paper and the en-.
tire plant to his cousin, William, who
made a creditable public record as a
leading member of the last General
Assembly. We note the retirement of
John f. from the journalistic field with
regret, for, with all his bluffness and
his free silver fanaticism, he has always
been square fighter, as ready to take as
to give blows, and despite his manifest
mistakes of judgment his heart was all
right. And we welcome his successor in
the confidence that he will bring to the
editorial chair full measure of the
ability and suavity that distinguished
his service on the floor OF the Legisla-
ture.

FORTY-ONE KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION.
Great Havoc Caused by the Bursting of a
steam-pipe ON the German warship
Victims scaIded to Death.

Great Havoc Caused by the Bursting of a
Steam-pipe on the German Warship
BrandenburS--Victim Scalded to Death.
KEEL, GERMANY, Feb. 16.-Strained be-
yond its strength by forced draught trial
of this port, this morning steam pine
on the cruiser Brandenburg burst, with
terrible force, killing Al men and fatally
wounding nine others. The interior Of
the vessel was badly damaged.
The Brandenblrg had had new boilers
placed in her, and had been ordered on Il
trip to test them.
As she was speeding along. under forced
draught, there came terrible concussion
that shook the whole ship, and a great
cloud OF steam poured up through the
hatchways, while the shrieks Of the
wounded and dying filled the air.
Five steamers went at once to the assist.
ance of the disabled warship, and getting
lines to her, towed her back to Kiel.
Thirty dead bodies were taken ashore in
one tug, while four tugs were required to
convey all the wounded. At least nine of
these are likely to die within AZ hours. All
were taken to the military hospital for
treatment.
scALDED BEYOND RECOGNITION.
Among the dead are three chief engi-
neers, who were on the vessel to report on
the work Of the boilers, and several other
officers. Most of the bodies were badly
scalded, in some instances the faces being
so swollen out of shape as to be unrecog-
Eizable.
The Brandenburg is a steel belted cruiser
OF ', $40 tons. Her dimensions are Length,
J5i feet inches; beam, u feet. She draws
"A feet, inches OF water. Her engines are
of $500 indicated horsepower, and she has

QUASH'S MURDERER
Held in $4,000 to Awai. Trial Before
The Grand Jury in Boston.

The preliminary hearing of the COM
plaint of manslaughter alleged against
David Barry of Boston for causing the
death of David Quash, q
colored man, formerly residing
in this city, resulted yesterday
in his being bound over to the superior
court in Boston, in the sum of $4,000
They had quarrel in boarding house on
Albion street, and Barney threw q
lighted kerosene lamp at the
deceased, who was terribly burned from
head to heels. and died at the city hospi=
tai four days afterward. A colored woman
was an eyewitness to the affray and she
saw Barney break stick over Quash's
head, and after he had fallen down
stairs, Barney seized the lamp and threw it
at him while he lay prostratc. Quash told
the witness that he threw the lamp.
The testimony was concurrent i'm estab-
fishing the fact that Barney was the ag-
gressor from the outset and threatened to
kill him before he used the broom-sticlS
and the lamp. Quashs body was brought
to this city and buried last week.

George Eliot's Face.

An English woman writer says it Is to
he feared that posterity will never know
exactly what was the living aspect of
George Eliot's face. Only n very great
painter could have seized at once the out
line and something of the varying express
sion, and her reluctance to have her por-
trait taken, her private person made to n
certain extent public property in that way,
has deprived us Of any such memorial
Future generations will have to draw on
their imagination to conceive face cast in
the massive mold Of Savonarola, but spare
and spiritualized into n closer brotherhood
with the other Florentine of the Divina
Commedia. The features might be too
large and rugged for womanly beauty, but
when the pale face was tinged with n faint
flush Of tenderness or animation, when the
wonderful eyes were lighted up with eager
passion and the mouth melted into curves
of unutterable sweetness, the soul itself
seeI ed to shine through its framework
with radiance of almost unearthly pow
er, so thaC stranger seeing her for the
first time asked why he Rad never been
told she was so beautiful.

Trimming Lamps.

Trimming lamp is now sc-1ce. AS
some one says that the cake made by n
lady is always better than any other put
on the counters, so lamp trimming needs
hands of accuracy and refinement. Keep
cheese cloth squares for wiping of I've
lamps. The wicks should be trimm, 4
with the sharp edge OF visiting card or
with poker heated redhot and passed
over the wick This last method-is lit
tie troublesome, but IL removes the charred
part evenly. Wicks used for n long time,
even when they do not become very short,
grow thick pnd are apt TO give forth nm
unpleasant odor. They should be removed
once month at least. In duplex burners
one wick should be trimmed in the oppo-
site direction from the other. Round
wicks should be trimmed toward the cen
ter. Burners should be wiped free from
bits OF charred wick and drops OF oil ev-
cry day. Every now and then they should
be boiled in stroug seapsuds, TO make them
perfectly clean. When they have been
used long time, they need replacing. -

Tho First piano.

No che can tell exactly who made the first
piano for the reason that it has gradually
evolved from an instrument as much un-
like itself as one could well imagine. In
the twelfth century it appears TO have been
gigantic dulcimer, which was merely an
sblong box holding series of strings ar
ranged I'm triangular form across its center.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
the "claychord," another musical mon
strosity, had developed from it and was
used well up in the eighteenth century.
About I'LL Christofali of Padua invented a
real piano, but it Is said to remind one Of a
coal box when compared with the elegant
and perfect toned instrument of today.-St.

PASSED SPURIOUS COIN.
An Italian COunterlelter Caught on
Charles Street Today.
HALF DOLLARS THAT WERE OFF.
Storekcepers Badly Bitten by New
York "Shover of the Queer"-Ar-
raigncd Before Commissioner Blod-
gett and Held i'm Heavy Bonds.
HALF DOLLARS THAT WERE OFF.

Officer III. M. Willard arrested an Italian
named Michael Romano on Charles street
this morning on charge of passing
counterfeit money. Romano was locked
up in Station 2 and a search of his cloth
ing brought to light considerable imita-
tion money. Df
For two days past two men have been
"working the stores" i'm the Second dis
trict buying small articles and rendering
half dollars in payment. The counterfeit
halves were SO good an imitation of the
real coin as to delude most of the victims,
but several discovered that the money was
spurious and at once reported to the
police.
This morning a man entered Rubbert' IS
grocery store on Charles street, and after
making a trifiing purchase rendered one
OF the spurious coins in payment. The
clerk noticed at once that the coin seemed
rather "off in weight, and tested
il in other ways. The ring was
up TO the standard ard the impressions on
either face were clear and sharply de-
fined. When compared with good coin
il was found, however, that the half dol
lar in question was much lighter than the
genuine, and an effort was at once made
80 find the man.
The clerk went into the street and soon
caught sight of the man. Officer Millard,
who was passing in citizens clothes, was
notified and at once arrested the man.
A search was made at the station and a
razor and big club were found concealed
in his pockets, besides aquantity OF the
spurious coin.
Romano affected complete ignorance of
the English language, but through an
interpreter stated that he came from New
York yesterday. He would say nothing
at all about the counterfeit money, but
claimed that he had no companions.
The police are OF the opinion that
Romano Is simply an agent OF a band of
counterfeiters in or near New York.
Deputy United States Marshal Anderson
took Romano before Commissioner Blod-
gett, where he was arraigned.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-In the house
today, immediately after the reading of
the Journal, Mr.. Boutelle started
the tight on new tactics, but
he was handled roughly
committee on rules, while Mr.. Boutelle
was clamoring for recognition on the
ground that he rose to question OF privi-
iege.
Boutelle Wouldn't be Ignored.
The speaker sought to ignore him, but
he was so pcrsistant that he was finally
recognized. He said he desired to call up
his Hawaiian resolution and
explained that he made the point that
while both questions were privil-
eyed his resolution envoluing
the rights and dignity, of the
house was OF higher privilege than Were
privileged report which related only to
parliamentary procedure.
Reed Has Word to Say.
Ex-Speaker Reed interposed that he
hoped Mr.. Boutelles resolution would re-
ceive full consideration.
Could Mr.. Boutelle have got up his reso-
luton 1t was his intention to
comment upon the news re-
ceived by The Associated Press cables
from Auckland and confirmed today. The
speaker declared that the pending ques-
ton this morning was on the demand for
the previous question.
The speaker was just about to direct the
clerk TO call the roll when Mr.. Boutelle
standing in the aisle at the
foot OF the rostrum interposed.
81 hope the chair will reflect before he
makes that ruling" said he. "Any in
timation that the chair has not reflected
is reflection on the chair" retorted the
speaker severely.
Mr.; Boutelie disclaimed any sue h
intetion, but the speaker would
not be appeased. He declared
emphatically THAT the chair had ruled,
and directed the clerk to call the roll.
"No quorum" resulted.
The. prospects are that the dead
lock win continue all the
afternoon as soon as the rollcall in
progress!is completed, a resolution will be
offered by Mr.. Catchings TO arrest all
members absent without leave and bring
them to the bar Of the house..

LONDON, Jan 6.-Particulars concerning
the battle between French and British
troops ON the frontier of Sierre Leone,
on the northwest coast of
Africa are coming slowly, and
every hour seems TO give graver aspect TO
these dispatches yesterday afternoon
a force of British troops come
into collision with French
force in Sierra Leone, near Warina, and
26 men of British West India regiment
and three officers, including In
Ter police and Lieutenants Roughton and
Liston, and one sergeant were killed. The
British forces, said TO number about five
hundred native troops, was sent against
the Sofas under Alfmy Samaco q religious
chief.
Shortly before daylight on Dec. % they
were attacked by 80 Sennegalose sharp
shooters supported by 1900 native
French Amaliaries, under Lieutenant
Moritz OF the Frehch regular army.
A Heavy Battle Fought.
The French opened fire upon the British
who replied, and the fighting having con-
tiuued for some time, the French retired
and Lieutenant Moritz, who had been
wounded was captured by the British and
brought into camp. Lieutenant Moritz
explained he mistook the Britishers for
a force OF Sofas under European officers
and Arab leaders. He eventually died.
The governor of Sierc Leone cabled to
the Marquis OF Ripon, secretary of state
for the colonies today, confirming The
Associated Press dispatch on all parts.
The colonial Office this afternoon I'M
nounces that the affair will be made the
subject of "a searching inquiry.
Later news from Sierre Leone says the en-
countertook place during period Outright
moonlight and that the British could
not have easily been mistaken for Sofas.
The later dispatches also say that Lieu
tenant MoritZ's death in the British camp
explained that ne mistook the white
campaigning costume OF the British off,
GERS for the white dress OF Arab chiefs,
whom he supposed to be in command of a
force of Sofas.
1t is not yet explained, however, what
the French force was doing
in locality which was well with
in the British border, and it is a
part which Is liable TO lead to a serious
complications when coupled with the
shooting of the British officers and SOL
diers.
