Der must now be added Miss Eliza

Arts. 1t is two-act comedy, and has
the immortal poet as it's hero. Those
who had the pleasure Of heA"ing the

ing piece of dramatic composition as
well as very faithful portrayal OF
daily life in the Elizabethan era. MISS
yaling will be warmly received by her

as Marguerite Merrington. Martha

fractured skull. A fight with his STEP
daughter, Mrs. William Mason, Monday
night is the cause.
There are two sides to the story. His
wife says: at has been my custom for
years to spread his meals in his room, no
matter what time he came home in the
morning. l was setting out his supper,
with which he expressed great dissatisfac-
ton. Ny daughter heard him coming
into the room. She asked him to keep
still. He swore at her, telling her to mind
her own business. He told her to take the
children and get out of the house. She
said the children were in bed, and it was
too late at night to leave. He rushed at
her with knife. Picking up a broken
pitcher from a shell at her side, she hit
him over the head
Turner's story differs materially from
that told by his wife. He denies being
drunk. He told his stepdaughter TO get
him something to eat, and quarrel en-
sued. During the excitement she hit him
on the head. Turner loudly bewails the
girls ingratitude. He says he spent over
$4,000 on her education. Her husband

workers connected with the committee in
charge of the Single Tax movement in this
city created sensation in Grace NJ. E.
Church this afternoon. Miss Frances f..
Willard, who came to this city for fare
well lecture to Wilmington, was nearing
the close of her address when one of the
Single Takers arose and requested per-
mission to ask Miss Willard question.
The latter thought the man wanted to
know if the collection had been taken, and
IN answer to mis- request replied: .Yes,
the collection has been taken"
The single-taxer then sent a note to her
asking her opinion on single tax. Ad-
dressing the audience Miss Willard said
she had received several letters about the
single tax from man in Wilmington and
said that she did not know much about
the matter. She said that she did not
think that it was the time or place to dis
cuss the question, as it had no connection
with the subject of her address. This re-
mark caused the audience to litter. The
single-taxers walked from the church. and
alter the meeting distributed single.tax

HAVANA, CUBA, April 13 (via Key West,
Fla, April 14).-People of all shades ap-
pear indignant over. the report OF the gar
roting of five negro murderers, as sent out
by the Chicago Associated Press and
printed in papers which arrived from the
States yesterday. The report makes it ap-
pear that five Cuban patriots had been wan
tonly tortured to death by slow strangula-
ton at the hands of Spanish executioner
and tale of horror is unfolded, the like
OF which has not been witnessed In mod
ern times
1t IS needless to state that no such story
was cabled from here. The local agent of
the Chicago Associated Press at Havana is
an ex-ileutenant in the Spanish army and
is good friend OF Spain. He reported
briefly by cable that five negro murder
ers, vlolators and incendiaries," had been
Garroted and that the new executioner
made bungling job in killing three of the
men and the old executioner dispatched
the other two victims without trouble.
From this column account of the affair
was turned out by the Chicago news fac
tory.
The minutest details are given of the be-
havior OF the doomed men. one of whom
is made to confess while the others pray
for vengeance upon "those who mad falsely
