graduating, and devoted herself to car

gregational church and has been a con-
slstent member, always ready to help in
any good work.
Oh sunny temper and having an I'M
usual fund of sympathy her tender and
loving minstrations to those in sorrow
or trouble has endeared her to the COM
munfy so that large circle of friends
mourn her loss, and so sweet was her
daily life that those who knew her best
loved her most.
The funeral was held at her home Tues
day afternoon at / o'clock, Rev. A. S.
MCGOWAN officiating. His appropriate
remarks were based upon the words
uttered by her shortly before her. death,
II know that my Redeemer liveth."
Many friends testified to their love by
sending in quantity of beautiful flow
ers and according to her request these
were used to make the rooms cheerful
rather than about her casket.
The afflicted family have the sympathy
of the whole community in their grief.

''That when Senator Teller and his

Louis convention, they had no cause
for it whatever, that did not exist
four years before at the Minneapolis
convention, and when the republican
party made the declaration IL did
make at st. Louis it did not change its
position one particle, but simply made
it absolutely certain, In order that
there could be settlement of that
question that the proposition for free.
independent and unlimited coinage OF
silver is proposition that we will not
entertain. We will not entertain 1t
because. in our judgment, it does not
as Senator Teller and his associates
claim, mean bimetallism, but simply
silver monometallism.
according to law as settled az
the law of gravitation, the cheaper
money always drives out the dearer.
To have free, unlimited coinage OF
silver would mean to put the United
States of America in the same class
with Mexico. China and Japan, and SO
long as the republican party has con-
troll the United States will never get
into that class.

Railroad Crossing.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 22.-The
eight o'clock express from Philadel-
phia for this city, over the Pennsyl.
vadia railroad. struck a team and
wagon at Absecon station, about eight
miles from here, shortly after nine
o'clock yesterday morning, and killed
three men and fatally injured an
other. The men were bound on pic
mic trip, and had descended a steep
hill leading to the depot without
knowing the proximity of the train,
which was speeding along at the rate
of 60 miles an hour. They realized
their danger when too late, as the mo-
mentum of the wagon carried the
team out on the track, where the ve-
hicle was struck and demolished by
the locomotive.
The dead men, who were all rela-
tives, are George Huber and his son,
Frederick Huber. and Henry Getz-

YELLOW JACK IN CUBA.

The Dread Disease Has Made Its Appear
ance and WIN Soon Become Epidemic.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The most
alarming report from Cuba with re-
spect to yellow fever comes from Sagua
Ia Grande, where the marine hospital
service is advised by its last report
that there are Al cases and four deaths.
It is expected that within a very short
time the fever will become epidemic,
and if it does not become virulent in
the city of Havana all previous experi-
ences will be set aside. The depart
ment has, however, received no adj
vices to the effect that cholera has ap-
peared anywhere on the island.
The present war and its relation to
the sanitary condition of Cuba is re-
ferred to in the last annual report of
Surgeon-General WymaD and the
statements then made will represent
the conditions of this summer, only in
q more aggravated form. On this sub
ject Gen. Wyman then said that the
insurrection had interfered to great

OF troops stricken with the disease il
denied by the Spanish government.
The reports from Havana last year
showed q total of 1888 cases, and q

with applause that was deafening. 1t

vigor, and it was nearly ten minutes
before Mr.. Hanna was given a chance
to be heard. When, finally, he was

and Arbitration to Prevail
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Senor Rojas'
dispatch announcing Surveyor Harri-
sons release relieved. the state depart
ment and diplomatic circles of the tre-
mendous tension they have bean un-
der for several days, notwithstanding
the prevailing confidence that the
blame would not be found to rest al.
together with the venezuelans.
The main question which is under
stood to have caused Secretary Olney
the most concern was the exact loca-
written Venezuelan protest
ALI doubts on this point were set
aside when the geographical experts
consulted decided that the proposed
line of road from the upper Barima to
the Cuyuni, where the surveying party
was stopped, was clearly west of the
Schomburgk line, and therefore in ter.
ritory which the British had hitherto
refrained from violating.
The Acarabisi river and the Schom-
burgk line are identical at and near
the Cuyuni, the Venezuelan district in
which the arrest was made being
named for the river.
A number of Englishmen and Amer
leans are engaged in mining and other
pursuits in this district. but they rec
ognize Venezuelan jurisdiction and
operate under Venezuelan licenses.
The British Guiana police militia has.
not attempted to exercfse authority in
the district.
It is thought among officials that in
view of the latest developments public
claIuor in England against the 'vene-
zuelans will promptly subside, and
that in spirit of fair play the author
tiles of the South American republic
will be treated hereafter with much
greater respect. Under such circum-
stances confidence is expressed that
the incident will give strong impetus
to the movement in favor of
settling the whole question through
arbitration, instead of dong all that
had been accomplished through Sec
retary Onley's firm and persistent de-
mand that all boundary disputes on
the American continent must be in.
