Curiosities of American Speech.

When you tear your trousers on a sharp point what is the first word you instinctively apply to the rectangular rent; trap- patch, bar'n-door or weewary, as says the New Englander, or is it wrinkle hawk or nicklehawk, as New Workers say?

Engineers in the Navy Have More oner- ous Duties on the New War Ships.
 

Engineers in the Navy Have More oner-
 ous Duties on the New War Ships.
 tFrom the New York Sun.l
 Now that the number of naval engi- neers is unequal to the demands of the navy, the once despised greaser is a man of peculiar importance. So long as the navy was small and several old sailing ships were in active service, there was no death of engineers. With the building of the new navy, the de- mand for engineers has steadily in- creased, and, with the continued deVel- opment of technical complications in the structure of the great modern ships of war, the engineer has had to add to his technical knowledge steadily. En- gineers of the earlier time lacked the thorough technical knowledge of their modern successors, were the men who gave the line officer the excuse for using the term greaser to designate his engineer brothers of the staff. The en- gineer officer of to-day is in every re- spect the equal of the line officer, though the formers rank is still only relative.
 While the navy was still small work of engineers was certainly not so try ing as that of some other officers aboard ship. The chief engineer usual ly had at least two juniors on board, and much of his time was not below, Sometimes there were two juniors on board, and the duty was arranged so that one man was able to take day off regularl duty every three or four days, but the immense aggregation of machinery that goes to make the mod elm warship demands close attention from the engineers
 The engineer officer must know not only the science of steam engineering, but he must be first -rate electrician as well. There are now not only one but many engineers on board modern man. -of-war Some ships have as many as thirty or forty auxiliary donkey en- zines for working the guns and other apparatus. They, of course, are ordi- narily run by a mechanic, who is an enlisted man, but the engineers of the wardhoom must be ready to look after all the engines, if need be; not, indeed, to run them themeseles, or even to run the engines that drive the ship, but to advise as to repairs and to take the general responsibility.
 The knowledge that electricity da- mands of the modern naval engineer has made it necessary for him to add a new science to his education. It was a simple matter to look after the engines of the old I<earsarge, with her tonnage of 1,550 tons and her horse power of less than nine hundred. It is very differ- ent matter to be responsible for the Baltimore, with a tonnage of 4,600 and a horse power of over ten thousand to say nothing of her auxiliary engines and other appliances, or to have the re sponsibility of the chief engineer of the Minneapolis, with 1850 of tons displace- ment and twenty-one thousand horse power.
 The education of the modern naval engineer is technical in the highest de- gree, more so than that of any other naval officer save the naval construc- tor The sudden demonstration of the

fact that the engineer is Q man of im- portance Is likely to obtain for him with good win what has hitherto been grudglngly accorded by his brothers of the line-that is, recognition of his right to rank as an oilicer-and the "greaser' is likely to disappear forever from the slang of the navy.

Hung Chang AFFAIR.
shanghai March 27.-The following
is a translation Of an important re-
script published in a special issue Of
the Japanese Gazette, in connection
with the attempt on the life of LII Hung
Chang:
"China is now in state Of war with
our country, but she has, with due OBJ
servance Of the forms of international
etiquette, sent an ambassador for the
conclusion of peace. We on our part,
named our plenipOtentiaries, who were
instructed to meet him and negotiate
at ShimOnoseki. Thus it was incum-
bent upon us, inpursuance with inter-
national usage, to afford the ambassa-
dor treatment consistent with the ma
tional honor, and to accord him suit
able escort for his protection. We con-
sequently gave orders TO all function
aries to use the utmost diligence, and
it is therefore with profound grief that
we now have to express our regret that
a ruffian should have dared to inflict
personal injury upon the Chinese am
bassador
THE culprit must receive the Sc
verest punishment provided by law.
Our official subjects must respect our
wishes to preserve the glory OF this
country untarnished, and must provide
against the recurrence OF such vio-
lence."

Pittsburg, Pa, March 27.-There is
little probability of the miners Of the
Pittsburg district accepting the offer
of 60 cents per ton, made by the
operators yesterday. The committee
making the offer do not expect them to
accept it, and in that event the rail

ably witness a ] petition of the bloody

The operators are determined to
abolish the nine cents differential in
favor of the Ohio operators, and under
no circumstances will they agree to a
scale that is higher than the Ohio
miners are paid.

COLD IN DEATH.
Miss Amy Thill and John BigelOw
Found in Miss Thill'S Apartments,
Lying on the Floor, BeSpattered
With Their Own BloOd-Murder
and Suicide Result From an Early
Morning Call.

New York, March 27.-John Bige-
low, an actor, shot and killed Amy
Thill, an actress, to-day in the fur
nished room of the woman in Twenty
fourth street, and then turned the wea-
pom, a revolver of large calibre, to his
own head and blew out his brains.
The double tragedy was not discov-
cred until almost evening, when both
bodies were lying cold and bloody on
the floor of the apartment, where the
crime had been committed. None OF
those in the house could assign a mo-
tive for the deed.
Bigelow was about thirty years old
and the young woman was not more
than twenty-five She had lived in
room on the third floor since last sum
mer and was respected by all with
whom she came in contact, and bore
a character which was blameless. The
man was known to the elevator at
tendant and others in the building,
but only slightly.
AS Miss Thill had not put in an ap-
pearance during the entire day, the
janitress became alarmed and went up
to the young lady's room. She raped
repeatedly. but received no response.
The door was forced and revealed the
sight of the two dead bodies, both
bloody and both
STRETCHED ON THE FLOOR.
Amy Thill and her two sisters,
Louie and Marie, also actresses, lived
in the Twenty-fourth street house to-
gether for several months. Amy's
last engagement was with Joseph
Haworth's company which played
"Rosedale" at the Star Theatre, this
city. last spring. The girl had been
in the best of spirits lately and all her
friends can assign no motiveefOr the
crime.
John e. Bigelow, who committed the
crime. was the son of James Bigelow,
an ex-Mayor of Morristown, n. j., who
is a retired lawyer. The young man
lived on West Thirty-eighth street,
and Just before the Christmas holidays
was amember of Sidney Drew's compa-
ny. 1t was during this engagement
that he met Amy Thill. He fell in
love with her. She was also a member
of the company, and the two decided to
leave it at Christmas. Since then
neither of them has been engaged in
professional work.
1t is supposed that Bigelow made an
early morning call on Miss Thill, just
after she had arisen, and the shooting
resulted from some disagreement be-
tween them.
MISS THILL'S SISTERS.
Erie, Pa, March 27.-Between the
second and third acts of "Other Peo-
pies Money" which Charles Dickson
produced at the new Park Opera House
tonight, Marie and Alice Thill were
informed of the murder of their sister
in New York. Alice who was in the
cast. was so shocked that the curtain
was delayed for several minutes, but
she recovered so that she went on with
her work. Marie Thill, who was cast
only in the curtain raiser, went at
once to her hotel and took the first
train for New York, leaving at lao a.
m. Neither of the sisters would talk,
except to disclaim any knowledge OF
the affair or of Bigelow.
