They Arc to He Named After President
Cleveland and His Little Ones.


Bethel, DEL, Oct u. Mrs. Amanda
Webster, living near here, gave birth
yesterday to four children, three girls
and one boy, All are doing well and
have prospect of living. The mother
is 81 years of age and the father SO.
The birth of the children recalls the
romantic marriage of the couple about
one year and half ago. Mrs. Webster,
then Miss Greenley, was attending
school, and had arranged for an elope-
ment with Webster, a bachelor and
well-to do farmer. Webster drove to
the school one morning, met the young
lady and drove off with her, and for a
week nothing was known Of them. The
greatest excitement prevailed, which
was dispelled when the couple returned,
having been married in Baltimore.
The father of the children is an
ardent admirer Of President Cleveland
and said to-day the girls would be
named Ruth, Esther and Marion, and
the boy Grover, and that he would ask
the President to act as godfather.

States Senator Thurston, counsel for
the Union Pacific, is in the city and
was asked what he thought of the re-
port that the Vanderbilts were en-
deavoring to secure control of the
Union Pacific. 1T is quite apparent
to the most casual observer, said Mr..
Thnrston, that the Vanderbilts must
be having a say in the Union Pacific

pew, and Marvin Hughitt are two of
the committee of five, who are TO

has returned from Port Eads and the

For more than year experiments
with tide gauges have been in progress
at the mouth of the Mississippi, and
as a result Major Quinn has reached
the conclusion that the level of the

1877. This the major attributed to q

An Interesting Lecture, Followed by
Some Pertinent illusions TO Compul-
sorry Education.
Prof, Robert L. Thompson of Philadel-
phia lectured on Capital and Labor" be-
fore the New-Century Club Thursday
night. The topic was treated in the most
interesting manner. Professor Thompson
held that the relations between capital and
labor were more of moral than economic
nature. The lecture was Il thorough
analysis of the question, and was listened
to with close attention and evident interest
throughout.
Following the lecture, the lecturer
opened himself to questions upon the sub.
ject from those in the audience who felt
sufficiently interested. and soon an inter
esting discussion was in progress. Finally
remark was made about compulsory edli.
cation. subject in which the ladies of the
New-Century Club are now vitality inter.
ested.
Professor Thompson promptly an.
nOunced himself as firmly opposed to this
system, against the introduction of which
in Philadelphia he is now fighting. He
said he was not in favor of any system OF
education which practically placed jail
in the yard of every school house. The
discussion was vigorously conducted, but
Professor Thompson fully met every argu,
inent. He claimed that compulsory edu,
cation decreased. instead of increasing
school attendance.

PEACE RESTORED IN PERU.

Armistice Arranged Between the Govern
inent Troops and the lnsurgenta-A
Thousand Dead and Wounded Left in
LiIna's Streets.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.--Mr. Mckenzie,
the United States Minister to Peru, tele
graphed the State Department this after
noon, that, after three days fighting, an
armistice had been arranged between the
insurgents aud the government troops.
and that over a thousand dead and wounded
were left living in the streets of Lima.
Later some sort of an agreement was
reached by the belligerents and peace was
restored. A provisional government now
seems to be in power.
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT FORMED.
LIMA, PERU. VIA GALVESTON, TEXAS,
March 2i.-The provisional government,
formed through the intervention of the
diplomats and the Papal NunciO. has been
organized and is already in operation.
Senior Candamo is provisional president,
and also acts as minister of foreign affairs.
The Caceres regime is represented in the
new government by two men and the rev.
dictionary party by two.
Under the terms of the agreement by
which hostilities ceased, President Caceres
surrendered the reins of government and
will retire to Ancon Nicolas Pierola the
leader of the revolutionists ana formerly
President, will go to Chorillos. Caceres
took refuge on board the Chilean cruiser
III presidente Pinto
This change in the government is the
results of the three days battle in Lima.
The revolutionary forces. led by Pierola,
entered the city at dawn Sunday morning
and for three days there was desperate
| fighting, 800 men having been killed or
wounded.
Then the diplomats and the Papal Nun
cio Mgr. Macchi interviewed and peace
was arranged.
During the fighting all of the foreign
legations were exposed to the firing. The
| United States legation was in particu-
larly dangerous situation.
Mrs. Mckenzie, wife of the United States
minister, narrowly escaped being shot.
More than 80 refugees sought an asylum
in this legation. The only means of com,
lnunicaiion with the outside world since
Saturday has been over the lines of the
Central and South American Telegraph
and Cable Co. All other lines were closed.
