SHE GETS A STAY.
The Execution of Maria Barberi Is Inden-
 niteIy Postponed.

SING SING, July 1e.-Maris Barberi, in charge of deputy sheriff and accompa- nied by Mrs. Foster, the Tombs Angel, arrived here. The party was met at the depot by Keeper McNeal. There was no crowd, as the coming of the girl had been kept secret. At the prison the usual rou- tine was gone through. The condemned girl was then escorted to a room on the top floor of the hospital building which had been prepared for her reception in stead of a cell in the death house.
 NEW YORK, July 2o.-Amos H. Evans counsel for Maria Barberi, has filed with Warden Sage of Sing Sing prison, the chief clerk of general sessions and the dis triot attorney notice of appeal from the sentence of death.
 This notice acts as stay. It may be months before the court of appeals will decide the case, and it is therefore certain that she will not be executed in the week beginning Aug. 19.

DEFENDER WINS.
She Beats vigilant for the Second Time On
 Sandy Hook.


 NEw YORK, July y23.-Although Defend. CT and Vigilant sailed for the second time under the auspices of the New York Yacht club in a cup race, the contest was de- signed to furnish basis of judgment to the America's cup committee for the choice of the defender In the ultimate interna. tional races this fall Defender won on Saturday, and she won again Monday and by minutes and 50 seconds unofficial time. .-a
 Defender started 90 seconds In advance of Vigilant at :e5:3o a m, and she fln- ished over the 30 mile triangular course at s:45 p. m. Thus Defenders elapsed time was 4:i9:30. Vigilant started at II :26;01 and finished at 3;54:4s, and her elapsed time Is 4:2s:47.
 Thus the boats have had windward and a beating contest, and they have had the triangular course, which afforded them two reaches and one practically inward run. The data furnished thus to the cup committee may not determine one or the other of the boats as 8 result of these races to be the choice for the autumn contests Tho results of Saturday and of Monday are, however. before them, and it is prob lematical whether any further trial races of the Vigilant or of any othor boats will be had against the Defender.

QUEER BANKING.
Some Revelations In the wnIimsntio Diane
 Savings Bank Failure

WIkkINASTIc, Conn, July 24.-Thero have been several startling revelations In the Dime bank mystery, among them be. ing the announcement that the bank was insolvent months ago.
 On July l last K. A. Bucks term of officc as bank commissioner expired. He declared the hank solvent at the time. Commissioners Crofut's latest exsmina. tions disprove this statement and his dis closures caused Mir. Buck. who was elect ed president of the bank Monday after. noon, to resign.
 Commissioner Crofut has also discov- cred that the bank s bookkeeping has been of the loosest character. No interest what. ever has been paid on many notes, and thousands of dollars in unsecured personal notes havc just been found Among these are two si, GOO notes signed by William Buck, son of the ex-oommissionor.

 As they turned corner of the corri- dor the mother looked in the direction of Andree, who stood behind her, and said:
 "Andree, I think it must be your good star that guided us here"
 But she stopped suddenly.
 "Why, where are you, Andree? Where can she have gone to? Andree f'
 A distant and sorrowful cry came in answer
 "Andree. Mon Dieui what's the matter?" cried her mother, alarmed
 This is what had happened: Andree, inquisitive little girl that she was, had turned down 8 passage and suddenly opened door. She was curious to see what the room was like.
 The door, it so happened, was that of a private boudoir. Inside, as she stood, pretty as a fairy, in the doorway, she saw 8 velvet sofa On the sofa she saw, half reclining, a very pretty young widow with black eyes and demurely sweet face. Kneehng on the soft Turk ish rug beside her, with his hand upon his heart and an expression of eternal love upon his face, was young man.
 Andree heard no words, but the noise of opening the door caused the young man to spring to his feet and face her.
 "Ahl Mon Dieul AndreeP It was indeed Anatole.
 
 Andree possessed resolute character, as we know. She never saw Anatole again, and the amount the courts grant ed her for breach of promise of mar riage is not exactly known.
 In this way a mother-in-l law who was anxious to do all she could for her son. in-law only succeeded in bringing about results that were hundred times worse than the most bitter hostihties.
 Such is the irony of fate, and doubt less it was best for the happiness of Ia belle Andree. From the French.

Total opposition

There was lull at night in the election returns, as most of the polls in the coun- ties will not be announced until later. The Conservatives, with II seats won, have now secured a net gain of 55 seats, giving majority of S2 in the new house of commons.
 What returns have been received from the counties indicate that they are follow ing the lead of the boroughs, and there Is every prospect that the government will have a majority of at least 100. The Union ists have gained three seats in Wales.
 There was rumor current that there had been a recount in West Leeds, giving Colonel North a majority over Right Hon. Herbert Gladstone. The rumor was, how ever, unconfrmed.
 Among those reelected were Sir H. Campbell Zimmerman, secretary of stato for war in Lord Rosebery's cabinet, the resolution to reduce whose salary precipi- tated the downfall of the government; T. F. O'Connor, Baron H. de Wurms and W. H. Long,

From the wlkesbar1e Record.

From the Williesbal1e Record.
The Irish National Alliance offers to
equip and send into the field 100000
Irishmen if it becomes necessary to de-
clare war against England. There is
no question that this offer would be
made good As a matter of fact, nearly
twice that number Of the eXiles Of
Erin would muster in at the first call.
For nothing would give the average
Irishman more pleasure than to take
up arms against the ancient enemy of
his native land. And the pleasure
would be greatly increased by the
knowledge that in doing so he would
be defending a country which is dearer
to him than all others; which sheltered
him and his when oppression and poy-
erty drove them across the sea, and
made it possible for them to enjoy the
blessings Of freedom and equal rights
denied them at home
Irish valor brightens the pages of our
country'S history. Montgomery, Suli-
van, Jasper, Moylan, Mcagher, Kcarney
and a host Of other brave celts will
swords flashed in the thickcst Of the
battle for American freedom. That
this patriotism is as strong now as it
was in the old days is made manifest by
the eagcrness with which Irish-Amer-
leans proircr their services to this coun-
try. Tho dream Of ireland free but in
tcnsifes their love for free America in
which they see the realization of their
fondest desires.
But if war should come it is not the
men of Irish blood alone who will res
pond eagerly to the trumpet blast. Just
as eager, just as prompt will be the an
swer from men of all nations, and the
German, the Welshman, the Swede, the
Dane and the Pole will vie with the men
of American blood in defending the
honor of their common country. Then
all will be Americans, no matter in what
land they first saw the light and they
will be ready to defend their adopted
country with their lives.
