London. Feb. 1.-The st. James Ga
zette says: The report of the New York
Yacht club committee makes clear, first
~ that "A very serious accusation was
brought by Lord DunraVen on the finn
siest possible evidence; secondly. the New
York Yacht club has given his lordship
a severe lesson I'm fairness and good man
ners. Lord DunraVen. in part of his
charge produced only impressions and
guess work. If the accusation of unfair
running was investigated by the Jockey
club and found TO have no better origin.
we doubt If the club would confine itself
10 the use of the mild word mistake +"
The St. James Gazette concludes: Lord
DunraVen owes il to himself as a gem
tleman TO apologize TO those accused
without justification"

J Csosing Exercises OF the Conference at

| The closing exercises of The confer
| once of Friends wore held Wednesday at
Swarthmore. and there were present
about 1000 persons. The meeting was
| opened at $50 with John William
Hutchinson of New York, in the CHAIR
Charles Il. Jenkins of Philadelphia,
discussed the work being done by the
government, giving many statistics and
noting the needs Of civil service re-
form, which he said could be- obtained
better through the increase of public
sentiment.
A report on the work for colored
people was read by Anna M. jackson
and showed that notwithstanding the
monetary depression over this country.
their efforts had been successful. The
schools only ask for money to allow the
colored people to earn their own in
struction. at the Schofeld School
there is farm whore scientific in
struction is given. The Philadelphia
report said that their work had beun
directed to college settlement work.
The Lang and Schofeld Schools need
only the funds to enlarge their oppor-
tunities. The Lang School asks for
$500 for the purpose of increasing
school room facilities. During the
reading of this report copies Of the
SchofieId School Bulletin were circu-
lated among the audience, and a chance
offered for subscriptions to be taken.
The subject of the afternoon was
peace and arbitration. Isaac Roberts,
superintendent, presented the report.
Arbitration in private differences,
rather than resort to legal process, is
generally observed among Friends.
Military training in the public schools
has been vigorously opposed, and efforts
put forth to further international arbi.

Elkton, Md, Aug. 26.-A girl aged
six months was found this afternoon
alongside the public road leading from
Persons Grove to the Cherry Hill
road, three miles from EllSton, by
Charles Letller. The infant was clad
in new dress. with a new pair of
shoes on it's feet, and was respectable
looking. Alongside of the child was
found bundle of clothing, bottle of
milk and in an air-tight jar some milk.
Mrs. Matthias Pierson, who resides
some distance from the road, stated
that this morning about IL O'Clock a
buggy stopped at the corner of the
woods and she saw some one get out.
After short time the buggy was
driven away in hurried manner. 1t
is thought that this team brought the
infant to the secluded spot where it
was abandoned,

The, bass in the Brandywine are
taking the fly probably better than at
any time this season, says the West
Chester News. despite the low water
and the grass in the stream at all
points. Some good catches have been
reported, but none of large size. Prob
ably the largest taken this year would
not exceed II inches in length, and the
large majority of them will not measure
over foot. Hundreds of these small
BAGS are being taken and more are
being caught every day. There is
still some bass fishing in the stream.
but it is not what we would like to
have and is not at all to be compared
with the fishing of few years ago,
when four Founders wore common, as
common as two Founders are now. The
angling hog has done his work wSll and
there Is only one way to improve the
sport on the stream and that is to close
it to all fishing for few years and
again restock it thoroughly with bass.
L have proposed several times manner
in which this could be done and good
fishing be had at the same time. The
plan is to stock one branch of the
stream and close it for three years,
allowing fishing in the meanwhile in
the other. Then open the one in which
the fish have been placed and stock the
other. BY this scheme there would
always be good fishing in one of the
streams as well as in the creek below
the junction of the branches, this por-
tion being left open all the tIme.f

REMOVING AN oBsTR o CTIoM
The Illinois Rock at Schooner Ledge eeins
DennIiahnd.

Demolished
The barge Of Dunbar & Sullivan with
its three steam drills, is now busily
engaged in demolisbing the Illinois
rock, which is just below the schooner
Ledge, and is somewhat larger in area.
Every few minutes blast is let off,
for no sooner is hole made by the
drills than through tube it is charged
with dynamite and Immediately fired
by electricity. The rock is ground to
pieces of such smallness that it is easily
removed by the dredge shovel, and yet
the conclusion is hardly felt by the
people on the barge directly above
where the demolition is being wrought
by the great power of the explosive. One
would imagine that the water would be
thrown high into the air. but instead
there is no disturbance whatever upon
the surface.
Another peculiar fact about the
operation is that just before the sound
OF the blast is heard, there is a fore
runner of it in the shape OF a singing
sound in the water which can be dis
tinctly heard for miles up the river.
II sounds somewhat like the noise of a
violin string, followed by smothered
roar, az the rock is broken by the
dynamite.
Many hundreds OF yards of rock have
already been removed AND thousands
more will be removed before even the
rock in which work is now being
prosecuted will be thing of the past,
and it is hardly probable that the
Schooner Ledge will be removed this
year, as the amount of material in the
Illinois Rock has gone far beyond what
was expected.

MACHINERY FOR RUSSIA.
A Great Deal of Material TO be shipped
From New Castle. 0i

Great Deal of Material to be shippod
From New Castle.
previously announced the Russian
government has been negotiating for
some time with the Delaware Iron IUc. /,
at New Castle, to secure vast amount
of Its machinery, and tho bargain has
been contaminated Oh satisfactory
terms to both parties. The contract
entered into means the delivery of all
the material of the tube and pipe mill
connected with the iron company g
big plant. 1t also involves the send
ing to Russia Of large force of work
men, who will be engaged abroad to
put the machinery together and start
it in good running order.
10 transport the property thus pur-
chased the British tramp steamer
Henley was Thursday chartered by
Hagar e. Co. of Philadelphia. Besides
taking out the material furnished by
the iron company the vessel will carry
additional machinery bought in this
country to Mariapole. on the Sea OF
Azov. Arrangements have already been
perfected for the speedy shipment of
the property.
The major part of the machinery
will be placed upon cars at New Castle
and then brought TO Wilmington,
whore it will be transferred to the
Henley. Subsequently the steamer
will proceed TO New Castle, anchoring
in the Delaware off the city, and there
the remainder of the cargo will be
taken to her on board Of barges. The
workmen who are to accompany the
material have been engaged to go 10
Russia for the purpose of there re-
erecting the machinery. Other skilled
mechanics, however, ii is expected will
go from New Castle and Philadelphia,
probably 300 or more in all, to operate
the plant after it has been put in shape
in Russia.
The sale by the iron company of its
tube and pipe plant does not in any
way affect the future conduct of its
works. 1t does not signify that the
company will relinquish its tube and
pipe plant or cut that feature Of it's
manufacturing business. On the con
trary, it is explained that the sale of
the machinery was made with the
understanding that it should be i'm
mediately delivered as a matter of
courtesy to tho Russian government,
which desired that there should be no
delay in getting the plant in operation.
In other words, it wants to complete
as speedily as possible a large amount
of work and could not go ahead with
out the quick acquisition of the msi-
terial it has bought here. AS soon as
the cargo Is shipped the Delaware Iron
Go. will go ahead replacing all that it
has sold to the Czar's government. 1t
will thus be enabled to take advantage
of the opportunity to introduce the
latest improvements and will continue
tine manufacture of tubing and piping
as heretofore.

ADDICKS IN NEW YORK.
The Republican Fight in Delaware Consid-
cred by the National Committec.

The Republican Fight in Delaware Consid-
cred by the National Committee.
The trouble between the Regular
and Addicks factions of the Republi-
can party was considered by the
National Executive Committee in New
York Wednesday. when the Addieks side
of the story was heard, local politicians
having gone to the metropolis for that
purpose.
j. Edward Addcls headed the dele
CATION. The others were Stansbury j.
Wiley, chairman of the Addicks State
Committee; James @. Shaw, ST. ID.
Layton and George W. Marshall. As
the committee has refused to interfere
in the matter of the State and local
nominations by the factions, all the
talk was to the end of securing har-
mony on the electoral ticket. Nothing
definite was determined. Mr.. Addicks
said that no matter what is done. the
State of Delaware will cast her votes
for Mckinley and Hobart The same
assurance was given TO Mr.. Hanna by
the Higgins men last week. Mr..
Wiley said:
''The Republican situation in Della
ware has been somewhat complicated,
but it has cleared up now. Every
where about the Stale the voters are
realizing the true meaning OF the
financial situation. Below Wilmington
the State is mostly interested in agri-
cultural pursuits, and the farmers are
grasping the situation and realize that
the question of sound money affects
them the most. They will therefore
vote the Republican ticket. The
Democratic party is badly divided on
the financial question.
After the conference Mr.. Addicks
said that they had stated their case
plainly to the National Committee.
Are you willing to accept COM
promise on the electors?" Mr.. Addicks
was asked.
"No, SIR" replied MIR. Addicks,
There will be no compromise and we
will accept none. LII our candidates
are accepted we will carry the State
for Mckinley and if they DIRE not
Here Mr.. Addicks paused and did
not finish tine sentence.
Mr.. Addicks and his party looked to
be full of fight and all questions of a
compromise seem to be at an end.
During the conference representa-
tive of the Regular Republicans of
Delaware appeared at the door with a
letter. which he desired to hand in,
but it is understood that his letter was
not taken and he was denied admit
tance. 1t was also reported that tho
Same individual asked for S25, 600 from
the National Committee for use in
Delaware, but on the assurance by one
CT the Addicks men that it was not
needed, the request was not given con

morning, DIT the home Of bis sister, No.

loney and Shields ON the charge of

court on Thursday, and Mr.. Carr tes-
fled that the negro entered his saloon
as he was about to close up at y. 30
o'clock. He had scarcely gone inside
the saloon when he disappeared in some
mysterious manner. A few minutes
afterward Mr.. CARTS niece. Bridget
Carr, who was sleeping in one of the
upper rooms, was awakened by man
providing about her room. She ga "
him turn down the light in the room,
and as soon as he saw that she was
awake he ran out the door.
A few seconds later Mary Moore,
colored, who lives in house nearby
looked out one of her windows and saw
the negro walking about on the roof of
Mr.. CARTS house. lie did not remain
long, however, as he saw that he had
been discovered. He left as hurriedly
as possible and was soon lost to view.
The officers wore appraised of what had
been going on anu III a short time ar
rested Irons, who was identified by
Miss Carr and also the colored woman,
az the man who had been prowling
about the Carr residence.
He made denial, but the evidence
against him was 80 strong that Judge
Ball decided to hold him in 50. 600
bail to answer the charge at the upper
court 1t is supposed that he contem-
plated robbery, but was prevented from
carrying out his plan.

whom is supposed to be Ernest Charles
Woods Of Allegheny City were struck
and killed at Paschall station about
10. 30 p. m. Wednesday by the p. W.
& b. accommodation train due to arrive
in this city from Philadelphia at ll.05
o'clock.
The men, who were walking the
tracks. were killed while trying to
climb over the fence to get out of the
way of the train. The freight house
is at the end OF the station platform,
and there is long fence between the
tracks at this point. 1t is supposed
that when they noticed the train, which
does not stop at Paschall, they saw no
means of escape except to jump over
the fence, but before they could carry
their plans into execution the train was
upon them. After the accident they
were found badly nangled. One was
already dead and was found on the stone
ballast between the freight house and
the fence. The other man was still
alive and was hanging on the fence
between the tracks. lie was removed
and a physician summoned, but was
dead before medical assistance arrived.
The bodies were taken to the Philadel-
phia morgue.
