NEW CASTLE, Dec. The raising Of
the wrecked schooner Allegheny In. tine
Delaware bay has been one of the most
wonderful feats ever accomplished In
shipping circles on the Dels ware. This
fine British vessel. II will be remembered
was sunk in a collision with the Belgian
steamship Csucssss on the night OF
October 1, aud has since been lying at
the bottom OF Delaware bay. two miles
below Ship John Light, in AS feet OF
water. Sunken out of sight and listed
as she was. she has been raised and by
very novel means The owners Of the
steamship were anxious to use her before
Spring and contracted with the Ame lean
Salvage Syndicate Of New York, to bring
the vessel TO the surface They began
operations with the improved system Of
compressed air, which was used for the
first time Ia salt water
On q steam tender the operating plant
was taken TO the spot where the Allie
gheny lay Divers then went below with
canvas bags made Of the best cotton
duck, and placed them 10 and about this
vessel with secure fastenings Rubber
tubes were connected with the bags
from the tender on this surface OF the
water. and then air was pumped into the
bags and shut off with compressor The
FIRST time the full force Of air was put
on the Allegheny came up 50 suddenly
that she nearly upset the wreckipg boat
which had to be moved farther away
from tho wreck.
The complete success OF this com.
pressed air system In raising the ship is
matter of worldwide interest In
maritime affairs. This canvas bags, when
inflated by air, make cylinders twenty
four feet long and Eve feet Ia diameter
When the system was first tried, rubber
bags we're usad. These started wreck
In fine form but when the vessel rusa
near the top and the water pressure was
greatly lessened, the air pressure burst
the bags Then canvas bags were
adopted and the difficulty was entirely
obvisted because the air oo zes through
the canvas, adjusting itself to the water
pressure. This scientific plan follows the
old law Of Archlmedes that a submerged
body loses in weight and amount equal
to the wster 1t displaoes.

kins, baggageman for the Burlington at
the depot at Charlton. Iowa, to-day shot
his sweetheart julia Murphy, her sister
Josie, their mother and himself jenkins
and Josie are now dead, while the mother
and younger sister are fatally wounded.
jenkins had been devoted to Julia for FIVE
years. and she had received his attentions.
Mr.. Murphy kept a clearinghouse and
Jenkins boarded there. Becoming more
and more enamored each day with Miss
Murphy, he became more bold in speak
ing out against the attentions Of other
men until. after quarrel over the matter,
Mrs. Murphy requested him to find an
other clearinghouse. This he did, and
did not seem 10 feel at all hurt, but kept
calling at the Murphys. No one knows
why he became particularly excited and
jealous to-day, but he went over TO the
house in bad mood. He had some words
with Julia about the attentions of man.
He then drew a pistol and shot her.
Turning to the mother, who had rushed
into the room. he shot her twice without
word, after which he stepped into the
hall where the sister stood and shot her,
killing her instantly. He then blew out
his own brains, firing the pistol into his
right temple. Jenkins had always borne
an excellent reputation, and the general
belief is that he was insane.

NEGRO DEMOCRATS.
An Appeal to Stand With the Policy
of Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Robert G. Still,
as chief of the American Bureau OF Or
ganization OF the Democratic Congressional
Committee, has Issued an address to the
Democrats of color of the United States.
The address says in part:
The National Negro Democrat tic League will
convene in Indianapolis, Ind, on the 18th inst.
II is hoped that negro Democrats from every
State and Territory Will be represented to evil
dence by their presence and voice their loyalty
TO the policies and principles Of the admlnistra-
ton.
At no time In the history of the negro Democ-
racy has there been greater necessity for coun.
CLING together TO determine the future cause
and policy OF the negro in America. 1t is a
matter OF sincere 0ongratulatOn TO note the
answering fealty shown to The Democratic
party by our people in Alabama IN the recent
election. Possibly for the first time was the
negro vote directly appealed TO, and its re-
spouse was evidenced by return Of a large
Democratic majority in every negro county in
the State. This open appeal should be espe-
cially gratifying TO you and the negroes gen.
orally.
