DEATH OF BENTLEY BARBOUR.

Death has again visited our neigh bor-
hood and removed one beloved Icy all.
The news of the death OF Capt. Bentley
Barbour, which came Tuesday afternoon,
WAS a shock to every one. \ telegram
had been received by his father, Capt,
Benjamin Barbour, on the 18th, saying
that Bentley was i'll and wished him to
come at once. On arriving at Vineyard
Haven, Capt. Barbour telegraphed that
Bentley would Probably be out in a few
days, and nothing further WAS heard
till the telegram of Tuesday announced
his death.
Bentley was on he defender" last year
as quartermsster, and was there seized
with appendicitis. After undergoing
critical operation remained in the hospit-
al some months and returned home. His
health improved, but he never fully re-
covered. Only few weeks ago he left
home in command OF the schooner MARY
Stsndish". Here he was taken i'll. and on
arriving in port was carried to the hos
p tai, from whence his father had him re-
moved to Boston, where another oper-
alton WAS performed, but in vain, He
died Tuesday, May 10. The remains were
brought home Wednesday.
The funeral WAS held Friday in the
church here, Rev. Mr.. Richards ofticiat-

him in May. These orders had Instructed
him to land marines, II necessary, to pro-
tect the khedive. without waiting for
new instructions he sent demand to the
Egyptian authorities for the surrender of
the forts to him within - hours to be
dismantled by him, and II the demand
was not acceded to he would open on the
city. AT the prospect OF fight the French
fleet, and also the ships of other nations,
including those of the United States, drew
into the offing, and the British men of-war
steamed to positions under the forts. The
admiral's excuse TO Arab for demanding
the disarmament of the forts had been that
they endangered his ships. Why he didn't
remove his ships out of range he failed to
explain rs also why, when he found the
work going forward with renewed energy,
he mt once placed his ships in greater dan
ger than before.
The hostile movement OF the British
ships produced great excitement in the
city, and there was danger of a renewal
of massacres ON large scale. However.
most Of the Europeans got away safely,
without help from the fleet. On the 10th
of July the British ultimatum reached
Arabi's counselors, and on the llth their
answer, promising compliance, was re
ceived by Admiral Seymour. 1t reached
him very early In the morning, yet he ig
nored it, and at clock opened fire. The
flagship Alexandra gave the signal shot,
followed by eight ironclads and five gun
boats These were new vessels, OF the
most improved pattern, with the heaviest
guns and the thickest armor ever brought
into use up to that date. The InGexible
had, for example four ST ton guns and an

Altogether the fleet carried log guns and
s, 500 sailors. The Egyptian Notifications
were in two distinct lines, one line protect
ing the new port and the eastern town and
the other the entrances to the harbor.
Admiral Seymour divided his vessels so as
to BON bard both lines at once. The In
flexible, with her monster guns, stood be
tween the divisions and assisted both. For
a wonder these terrible engines of war
were almost impotent against earthen
forts. Shells from the 81 ton guns explod-
ed in the sandbag walls, and, Judging
from the clouds OF dust thrown up, 1t
seemed from distance that the ramparts
had been hoisted as by a mine. But when
the dust settled walls and guns were still

the Egyptian artilerists fought splcndidly.
The gunners were Sudancso blacks They

House-Cleaning Time.

Don't soil your temper in cleaning your
house.
Don't shake your dusty carpets in your
neighbors eyes.
Don't lose your temper because you
can't find the tack-hammer.
Don't expect your hus band to be as en-
thusiastic about the annual clean as you
are.
Don't imagine that dirt is any more re-
spectacle in the kitchen than in the
parlor, or in the back yard than in the
front yard.
Don't keep your eyes so close to your
cleaning and your new fnery that you
cannot see the glorious cleaning up Moth
er Nature has made.
Don't forget that the best housekeeper
Is not necessarily the one who "cleans"
the most. 1t is better to keep clean than
to clean continually.

way to the shore during the night and We're

All this time the khcdive remained shut
up in his palace. \ force of 800 fanafical
Sudanese was sent by some one to murder
him, but Arab Bcy learned Of It, and by
the exercise Of his authority turned the
assassins into a bodyguard. During the
night the Egyptian soldiers began To re
treat and the released convicts joined by

carnival of plumber and rapine Many
Christ ans were massacred, and for two

OWEN HAGGERTY DEAD.
Was One of the survivors Of the Dia.
mOnd Shaft Disaster.

Owen Haggerty. of Grant avenue, one
of the best known desidents of the
West Side, died Saturday afternoon at
o'clock, at the age of AZ years. He
was well known for two reasons. One
was that he kept hotel in Hyde Park
for many years and the other is that
he was one of the survivors of the Dia-
mond shaft disaster, which will be re-
membered by all the Older residents and
which has been handed down to the rs-
ing generation in a homely but touching
song.
The dreadful accident occurred on the
boys started to go down the shaft on
carriage when a link gave away and
preciptated them to the bottom, q dis
tance of over 200 feet.
Thirteen of them We're killed outright.
two were so badly injured that they
did not long survive, and two others es
capped without fatal results. One of
these was Mr.. Haggerty; the other is
Select Councilman William j. Thomas,
of the Fourth ward. who is now the
only survivor. Mr. Haggerty was more
seriously injured than Mr.. Thomas and
was never able to return to the mines.
He set up hotel on Jackson street and
some years ago retired with a comfort
able fortune. His open-hearted gener-
osity, however. caused his money to
melt and he died leaving his widow and
seven children in Strengthened circum-
stances.
He was a man whom everybody learn
ed to regard highly and his only fault
was his liberatty. The funeral will take
place tomorrow afternoon at 9 oclocl;
from st. Patrick's church. Interment
will be in Hyde Park Catholic cemetery.

BODIES NOT YET FOUND.
Mrs. McCarthy's Skirt and the Cloak Of

q Mile Below the Bridge.

None of the bodies of the woman and
two children drowned Friday in the
Lackawanna river at MOosic has yet

worn by Mrs. Mccarthy and the cloak
of one Of the little girls were found Sat
urday morning about u mile below the
bridge from which they were hurled.
From daylight Saturday until it got
dark searching parties We're busy
watching for any trace of the bodies,
but the finding of the clothing was
their only reward. There are many
bends in the river between the bridge
where the accident occurred and where
it empties into the Susquehanna at
PittstOn. But it is unusually high now
and the current is very strong and
rough.
Mrs. Klink, mother Of the children,
from whom the news was kept for fear
it might kill her. was told the truth
yesterday and she bore up bravely, al
though for a time it was feared her
grief would overpower her. The news
had to be told to her, because her sus-
picions were aroused, and the suspense
was making her. worse.
The dreadful accident has aroused
widespread sympathy and every as
sistance possible is being given to the
grief-stricken father to aid him in
searching for the bodies. All day yes

man had something to break the still

AT the rear of the clubs column came
two men disguised in grotesque cloth

man of these was provided with q

The Keystone Colored club was the
last organization in line. Each man
wore high hat and the crown was girt

most peaceable. They carried broOms
