SENATOR H4RBY SMILED.
He Was Roughly Hauled Over the Coal
But Never Lost His Good Humor.

He Was Roughly Hauled Over the Goals,
But Never Lost Ris Good Humor.
There was a little scene on Fourth
street, below Market, on Saturday,
in which State Senator Robert j.
Handy smiling and pleasant as usual,
was centre figure. A gentleman ac-
costed Mr.. Handy, and the converse
tion turning upon the work Of the late
Legislature the Brandywine hundred
Senator was accused by the other Of
not being good Republican, and Of
working against the interests Of his
party in voting for Mr.. Addicks The
gentleman's remarks were in the whole
very unkind, and inclined to be very
personal, and a number of people who
were passing stopped to listen.
Mr., Handy had good cause to be pro-
voked, but maintained his good humor.
"Oh, you don't know me, if you
really think | am not good Republi-
can" the big Senator replied to his
accuser, "and as to my voting for Mr..
Addicks, / did it because | wished to
do So He did not even ask me to. :"
Mr.. Handy was very earnest, but
good natured in his remarks, but the
other was not convinced either of the
Republicanism or Of the good inten-
tions of the man who stood so faith
fully by Mr.. Addicks throughout the
senatorial fight Some other unkind
remarks were made by the gentleman,
but Senator Handy walked off, never
losing the smile which had overspread
his features during the entire CONVEX
eation.

MONTERREY NOT DISABLED.
The Only Trouble with the Cruiser Was
That the Boilers Were Not in the Best
Condition.

The Only Trouble with the Cruiser Was
That the Boilers Were Not in the Best
Condition.
San Diego, CAL, Aug. 10.-.The re-
port sent out from this city that the
Monterey was almost disabled when
she reached this port, is emphatically
denied. Several members of the crew
state positively that the story that she
came into port with four of her six
boilers useless is false. They declare
that she was using five boilers. They
also deny that coming up the coast she
was only able to make six knots an
hour. They say she easily steamed eight
knots.
One OF her officers informed the Asso-
ciated Press reporter that the only
foundation for the story about the ship
being disabled was the fact that the
forward boilers were not in the best OF
condition. Some of the tubes were
leaking. When tube leaked they had
it taken out. He said the Ward boilers
would have to be retubed. 1t was moi
matter of serious consequences, ano
certainly not one on which to base the
story that the ship was disabled.
The Monterey could have proceeded
to San Francisco without stopping here.
He added that the Navy Department il
fully informed as to the facts.

cially children and women. Things

THE RAMBLER.


we are forming 'Trilby' party to
attend the performance at Union Park,
TINS night week, remarked we'll
known society man to a reporter OF
Gazette and Journal Friday. The
newspaper man was invited to Join the
party, whereupon he inquired if it
would be necessary to go in his bare

would not be the case, as the ladies
tion.
Complaint is made that drivers of
teams do not observe the city ordinance
relative to the right of waytof fire APP
paratus. The law requires that drivers
OF all teams except street cars shall
pull in to the gutter at the side of a
street or turn off onto side street
when it is practicable after they are
aware of the approach Of an engine or
other piece Of fire apparatus that is
proceeding to fire. Many drivers
totally disregard the ordinance, and If
they continue to do so there is liable
to be trouble. A member oil the Wash
ington Fire Co. in speaking of the
subject FRIDAY said: 1--WE have been
annoyed by careless and defiant drivers
on several occasions within the past
year, and consequently our apparatus
and also the other vehicles have come
near running together Last Tuesday
afternoon we sustained damage as
result of carelessness on the part of
driver-at least, we understood
it was carelessness-and the next
time we are annoyed in the same man
ner we will have the offender arrested
and make an example of him. The
city laws are very plain on the subject
and there is nothing for Transfers to
do but obey, and if they fail to do so we
will see that they are compelled to"

When number OF the older schools
in the city were built the hydrants
were placed in the yards. This plan
seemed to answer the purpose we'll
until recently, when the small boys in
the neighborhood of the schools have
made the hydrants more of nuisance
than benefit During vacation the
hydrants are bothered more by the boys
than at any other time, The janitors
of the schools cannot be about all the
time and during their absence the
urchins jump the fences and turn the
water on for various purposes, some
times for drink and sometimes for
mischief. No matter for what purpose
they turn the water on they invariably
leave the hydrant running, and not
only waste the water but injure the
pavements and yards. The members
of the Board of Education have found
it necessary, in consequence of the
trouble the bows make, TO have the
hydrants moved inside the buildings,
and within the past few weeks nearly
all of them have been changed.

Rachel Anderson Alleges That Polish
Woman Tried to Kill Her on Saturday
with an Axe.
There was trouble on Saturday in
Nancy street, small Hedgeyille
thoroughfare. Rachel Jane Anderson
alleges that Polish woman, who lives
next door to her, threw an axe at her,
after having previously made an at
tempt on her life.
Rachel says that for some time the
Polish woman has been picking on her,
but for what reason she is at loss to
explain. This morning the trouble
reached climax. Rachel was standing
in her back door, when, she alleges,
the white woman threw a cup at her.
The missile went wide of its mark, and
war of words ensued.
The Polish woman became infuriat-
ed, and picking up an axe hurled it
across the fence at Rachel, SO the latter
states. She succeeded in lodging the
weapon and was compelled to flee to the
house to prevent being killed. The
Anderson woman states that the would
be assailant was in frenzy when she
threw the axe, and it was undoubtedly
her intention to commit murder.
Rachel became frightened and hasten
ed off to have the Polish woman arrest
ed. The colored woman says she thinks
that the Polish woman is crazy. 1t is
alleged that she frequently takes queer
spells and some of the neighbors are
afraid of her.

Miss Charlotte Dutron Arrested on a
Charge Of Numbering Miss Elizabeth
Knapp.
Wellsboro, Pa, Aug. 10.-The mys.
terry surrounding the death, on May
18th last, of Miss Elizabeth Knapp,
was partially cleared last night by the

murder.
Miss Knapp, who made her home in
the family of Chauncey Howell, became
suddenly i'll on May 18th and died the
following day. She maintained up tc
the last that she had been poisoned.
The coroner's jury made an investi
cation and finally rendered verdict
that "the deceased came to her death
by corrosive poison administered
either by herself or some unknown per-
son.
Miss Knapp's friends were not salts.
fed with the verdict and sought the
aid Of a New York detective agency to
assist in ascertaining how Miss Knapp
met her death. The detectives worked
for six weeks ON the case and secured
enough evidence to warrant the arrest
VI Miss button. The latter has been
living in the family of Howell also, and
it is charged by the friends of Miss
Knapp that she was jealous of the lat
ter and took this means to get rid of
her.
Two other mysterious deaths occur
red in the Howell family which will
probably be charged to Miss Dutton
Shortly after her appearance at the res
idence of Howell, the latter's wife died
under peculiar circumstances. Not
long after his wife's death young son
died with symptoms of poisoning, and
it is alleged that both were poisoned.

That 1t Has Been DIsorGanizad.
Editor EVERY Evening"" The SEN
sational article that appeared in the
Morning News of this date in re-
gard to the Young Woman's Christian
Association is calculated to mislead the
members of the association and the
citizens Of Wilmington. 1t is greatly
at fault in the statement Of facts.
The association has not been disor-

could it SO do. 1t had not the authority.
It was not meeting of the board Of
directors, but small mixed meeting
of nine persons All the officers of the
board and many Influential members
are out of the city at this time.
Wise counsels will prevail when they
return. In the meantime, all may
rest assured that che association still

The cotton Average for august.

Washington, Aug. 10. The August
report of the statistician of the Depart
ment of Agriculture shows reduction
in condition of cotton during the month
of July from 50. 3 to 77.9, or four points.
This is the lowest average for August
ever reported, being a half point lower
than the average for August, 1898.
The reason for the low condition gen.
orally given by correspondents is excess
sive moisture, though in South Caro-
lima drouth seems to be the principal
cause OF injury.
