FALLS TWENTY FEET.


Seven.Year-Old r. ID. Bullock Has q
lliracuious Escape.
Falling headlsng 20 feet to the
ground floor Of the Jail building and
sustaining but q slight bruise on the
head was the miraculous escape
which X. D., the 7-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Bullock, of 14I2
Fourth avenue, encountered yester-
day afternoon. The little fellow was
making one of his customary calls at
Sheriff and Mrs. F. C. Hemenway's
residence to play with their children,
who while romping about the house
leaned over the stair railing on the
second floor Of the living apartments.
In so doing the Bullock boy became
overbalauced and down he tumbled.

The boy was rendered unconscious
and 1t was feared had received seri-
Gus injuries. But happily he soon
came to and DR.. Eyster found no in

ENGAGES An EXPERT Oh TIE JOB

WilIism =. Jehnson Called TO the Aid Of

tempting 20 Flad whsrs the Special As
sessDent Money has Gone.
The finance committee of the city
council has given William F. john
son, republican politician, . posi-
ton. whose duties will be those Of an
expert accountant in an examination
of the municipal records with q view
to ascertaining something about the
missing $l3, 600 of special assessment
funds, which the finance committee
reported to the council at the first
meeting this month it was unable to
satisfactorily account for. The COM
mittee, it will be remembered, re-
ported that vouchers aggregating
$40. 900 would soon come due Oh war
rants sos. 500 and 504, and that the
corresponding assessments remain
ing uncollected would aggregate but
%, 900. thereby leaving a deficiency
of $4,000. The discrepancy is be-
lieved by the committee to be attrib-
utable to a fault with the methods
employed at the time the special
assessment Improvements were in
augurated in 1883, and when all
monies were deposited into the gen.
eral fund instead of being kept sep
arately. The surplus which the city
should therefore now have on hand
has been expended in the general
course of municipal procedure.
For the work to be undertaken by
Mr.. johnson there were numer-
Gus applicants, including Jonn E.
Fleming and w. w. Eggleston as we'll
as Mr.. johnson, and Saturday night
the latter was engaged. He is to re-
ceive about IS day, and tonight an
assistant in the work may be ap-
pointed.
Let There BE Light on This, Too.
While the city is undergoing the
expense attached to the enjoymen OF
the services of Mr.. johnson as expert
accountant, it is just possible that he
might get at the bottom Of the city's
present financial condition. He
might, if clever. find just how the
administration became so reckless as
to let the street fund Ego broke"
and to so further exhaust the city's
funds as to make it necessary to Dor
row IS, 600 for August running ex-
penses. So far it has not been con-
sidered of sufficient importance to
give an intelligent explanation of
this state of affairs, those officially
responsible contenting themselves
with the assurance that the money
is gone, and had been expended in
public work and that is the end of it.
The annoying perplexities that such
situation would seem naturally to
bring to one realizing the full signi-
icance of it may be relieved by a
glance at the revenue record for the
first five months, or thereabouts. of
the present administration and from
which the appended figures were

BLUNDERS OF DEMOCRATS
Senator Allison Opened the
Iowa Republican State
Campaign.
Createst Of All the Errors Of CleVo-
lands Administration Was the
Issuance of Bonds.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Sept. 26.-
Senator Allison was the principal speaker
here to-day at the opening of the Repub-
lican State campaign under the auspices of
the Iowa Travelling Mems Republican
Club. The cold and threatening weather
diminished the attendance, but Des Moines
sent a delegation of 500 and other cities
contributed their quota. The Senator de-
clared that both the old parties in Iowa
were practically in accord OH the monetary
question. In this connection he said:
Concurrent action, or international
agreement may not be near at hand, but
the sentiment for it in Europe and the
United States is increasing day by day, and
it is the sure method by which the nations
can use both metals concurrently. With
out some agreement each nation will be on
the single standard of gold or silver, with
a wide separation between the value of the
two metals in international exchanges"
On the tariff and bond questions he said: /:
ga modification of the tariff on the lines
of protection is hardly possible with Presi-
dent Cleveland III the White House and
the Senate without any party in the ma
iority. The sale of bonds to pay current
expenses should only be resorted to in
times of extreme pressure, and when done
should be for short periods in anticipation
of revenue to be presently provided for.
This issue of bonds for current expenditures
is one of the greatest blunders of the last
two years."
Ex-Governor Larrabee, General Drake
and Congressman Hager, Henderson and
Lacey also spoke.

A band of single-tax missionaries in uni
form are travelling through the State dis
tributing literature. speaking at meetings
and pressing the agitation by individual
discourses. 1t is said hat the move ment
is much str onger in Newcastle County and
that the opposition is most aggressive and
determined in Dover and vicinity.
An old gentleman at my meeting to-
night proceeded to make speech in op-
position to the single tax when recognized
to ask question, saying:
"This single tax is going to be adopted
in Delaware before it is half understood"
His statement expresses the fear of a
large proportion OF our opponents.
Campbell, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church. and Howard, pastor of Asbury
Methodist Church, have announced them
selves single-taxers and two other ministers
have expressed favorable opinions. If the
success already attained continues pro-
portionately we will surely carry the State
on the question in November of next year.

INTERRUPTED BY CHEERS,
The Duke of Cambridge Made
Speech in Answer to
Charges.
in His Opinion 1t Was Proper for a
Member of the Royal Family to
Command the Army.

LONDON, ENG, Sept. 26.-The Duke of
Cambridge. whose retirement as COM
mander-in-chief of the forces was recently
announced, and who was succeeded by
Lord Wolseley, made a long speech at a
luncheon which was given in his honor to-
day in Edinburgh. He began his remarks
by referring to the charge that he had op-
posed all changes that had been suggested
in connection with the army. This charge
he denied, maintaining that, on the con-
trary, he had always led in making changes
that tended to add TO the efficiency of the
British troops.
He said he regretted to have seen lately
that a strong notion existed that men,
Der of the royal family was not suited to
the chief command of the army. He held
that royal person could be placed with
out necessarily considering his high de-
gree in any position for which he might be
found to be fitted. He would not say that
he was particularly fit for the position he
had filled for thirty-nine years. He had
filled it as best he could, and had got m ore
than his share of criticism that always fell
to great public officials.
When a member of the royal family was
found fit for his position, he continued,
the public ought to be delighted to see
him so placed. If he had gone about for
thirty-nine years twirling his fingers and
smoking cigars in the streets of London
the people would not have thought much
OF him. He could have gone on much
longer working at his post, but it had
been thought advisable that others should
follow him.
He only hoped that his successors would
end their careers feeling as much senti-
ment toward their office as he experienced
at the moment. He had been consoled by
the knowledge that he had done his duty
in such way that the army and the whole
country had been satisfied. A feature of the
monarchial principle was that those in the
highest positions, besides doing their duty
to the state, were bound to be useful mem
bers of society. In accordance with this
rule he had never neglected the social
duties falling to person in his position.
The Duke of Cambridge was frequently
interrupted by cheers during the delivery
of his speech, which has created sensa-
tion as an unexpected and outspoken vale

pearance Of many sharks. The harbors

Some of the unfortunate men were
seized by the legs and drawn under, while
others sank beneath the waves. While this
fearful scene was being enacted the brave
and gallant captain of the Mortera, Jose
de Vinolas, had lowered all of his boats,
and fortytive officers and men were res

have been drowned within a hundred
yards of a great and populous city. All
were loud in their praise of Captain
Vinolas. In drawing this narrowing
scene to a close the gallant captain of the
Barcaiztegui must not be forgotten. He
saw to the embarking of every man, and
was last on the ship. AS she gave the
final lurch he jumped into the sea, and
disappeared in the suction that drew under
the ships boats and crew.
