Skated on Thin Ice,

Delaware City. Del, February l.
Miss Eva Gardner, a pretty nineteen
year-old girl of this town, lost her life
while skating on the canal this after
noon. With a companion, Miss Alice
Wingate, Miss Gardner was skating
with a crowd, when the two young wo
men left the others and went about 100
yards up the canal. Soon the other
skaters heard cries of distress and the
two women were seen to fall through the
thin ice. a party of men went after
them as soon as possible. A boat was
pushed out on the thin ice and the
young women, both apparently uncon-
scious, were brought to the shore, after
they had had a fierce battle with the
chilly ice and water. A physician was
hurriedly summoned, but Miss Gardner
was pronounced dead. Miss Wingatt
was afterwards revived but is suffering

Cruiser Brooklyn Damaged.

Philadelphia, January 31-United
States Cruiser Brooklyn to-day lies ut
terly helpless because of a narrow ledge
of sunken rock in the Delaware river,
above Marcus Hook, Pa, on which she
struck heavily yesterday afternoon. Her
lower double compartments, forward,
were completely stove in, and it was
only by good fortune that the big vessel
did not sink. This would undoubtedly
have been the result had not her inner
compartments successfully withstood the
shock. AS it was, she pulled clear off
the rocks and is now tied to big stone ice
breakers at Marcus Hook, and is thus
protected from the heavy ice gorges in
mid river.
The big vessel, however, is seriously
damaged, and it is impossible to say
just when she will be able to go into ac-
tive service. At present she is in no
danger of further damage, being fully
protected in a safe anchorage afforded
by the ice breakers.

KAIPUR, Feb. 3.-The special CORE
spondent of The Associated Press is in
quiring into the famine ravaging in
this, the largest district of the central
province. having a population of .5OO,-
600. finds the situation very grave.
This is the center of the ricegrowing
industry. which is the only crop grown,
and, as it has failed, there IS a total ex-
tinction of food stuff in this locality,
and real famine exists. About 300
villages are affected. The relief work
have given employment and the means
of subsistence to $4,000 persons.
The worst part of the district is
Dharmapara 30 miles from here, where
lamentable conditions prevail Many
people have already died of hunger and
many others are dying The staff en-
ployed III the work OF relieving the
sufferers is Inadequate 10 cope with the
enormous area. If the work of relief
had been properly arranged earlier the
mortality would have been less, as the
rains are increasing the spread of dis
ease. 1t will take three good years To
recoup the losses in this district.
The pOorhOuses are fair criterion of
the condition of the people. Beside
the professional beggars they are
crowded with laborers reduced TO the
last stage of skeletons. Their bodies
+ are emaciated and the skin is hanging
in large folds. Otehrs have swollen
stomachs, the sign of acute privatiOn.
1t is found that the cattlemen and ryOts
or field workers, usually lusty men, are
unable TO do anything and the women
are IN the same condition.
One woman, who was lately confined,
has been attacked with rheumatism,
caused by exposure, and is paralyzed.
Her baby is horrible to look at. Its
limbs are about the size of pipe stems
and its sunken eyes have a most piteOus
look. No provision has been made for
these cases. The minimum dole OF
food is only enough 10 keep body and
soul together, 1t does not suffice to build
up the system again. This Is where the
private charity is wanted.
1t is useless to attempt TO send the
natives TO the hospitals. They prefer
to die.

ALTHOUGH it was considered matter
of doubt, the Republican managers had
hopes that some of the silver Republi-
can senators might be persuaded to vote
with their old party when the new tariff
bill comes up for action at the extra ses-
sion of congress. They no longer in
dulge such hopes. They know that not
only will the silver Republicans not vote
for the tariff btll, but that they will vote
against it if their votes can defeat it.
This has been fully determined upon
since the Republicans resorted to such
extraordinary tactics to defeat Senator
Dubois, of Idaho, as punishment for
having followed his convictions and the
wishes of his constituents by having sup
ported Bryan and silver in the late cam
paign.

AN interesting coincidence has occur
red in connection with the use OF the
Methodist church by the Legislature at
Harrisburg. Twenty years ago, when
the congregation had sold its old build
ing and began to erect the present struc-
ture, long delay was occasioned in lay
ing the foundation, because of quick
sands. The house of representative:
then offered the use of their hall for the
congregation to worship in. Now the
favor is returned, and the church ha'
been given to the legislature withou
any promise whatever of compensation

The bleak winds of winter never blew
over more gloomy prospect than that
to-day confronting the thousands of coal
miners in the state of Ohio. In the
Hooking and Sandy Creek Valleys there
are 200 miners, and at least 5000 OF
these are idle. Those not working are
living off those who have employment.
1t is estimated that the coal miners of
that section who are employed make no
more than S15a month. How they are
able to not only live upon this, but as
sist others, is mystery that perhaps
will never be solyed,

CHAIRMAN MARSHALL. OF the house ap-
preparations committee, called upon Au-
ditor General Mylin and State Treasurer
Haywood for an estimate of revenue for
the next two years. The answer he re-
ceived was far from cheering. All the
state can possibly raise is SIC, 800, 900.
The last legislature appropriated S24,-
100000.
Mr.. Marshall said under the circum-
stances private institutions could not ex-
pect a cent and the million for the pur-
chase of text books for the public
schools would have to be cut off. The
state normal schools have taken the
hint and will ask for nothing outside OF
the regular appropriation of $4,000
apiece. A big slice will also be taken
out of the $4,000 appropriation to
the public schools.

asy ylums for insane and epileptics anC

The sort of work in the WY of tariff
revision that is going on at Washington,
against the protests of many American
manufacturers, who desire of all things
to be let alone, is well described by the
Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, himself a stiff protec.
zionist. He says the Republicans 'are
reverting to ideas that are obsolete, and
and are busy trying to patch up sched-
ules to satisfy this or that special inter
est. The general good of the country
and the cause of protection itself are
lost sight of in their infatuated zeal,
Not only are they playing into the
hands of domestic monopolies, which
already exist, but they are lending a
ready ear to propositions for the crea-
ton of new oaes."

THERE is some danger tnat Speaker
Reed is turning Democrat on the tar
iff question and is having great deal
toIdo with the preparation of the com.
ing tariff bill. He opposes the extrava-
CANT claims of the McKinleyites and in
sists that, as the troubles of the coun.
try come from lack of revenue in the
new bill, greater attention should be
paid to getting revenue than granting
protection. He does not favor the Nc
Kinley idea of a tariff for protection,
with incidental revenue, but rather the
Democratic policy of tariff for reve

Lancaster, February 1.-One of the
larges fires that has taken place in the
upper part of this county in a long time
occurred this morning on the farm of
John A. CARRIER. in East Donegal town
ship, just south of Maytown. Mr.. Gar
ber's barn was destroyed by an incendi-
ary fire, together with large corn house
and other outbuildings.
Nineteen head of horned cattle and
six fine horses were roasted. Two heif-
ers and two cows were saved and one
cow was burned so that it had to be
killed. The entire crop of wheat, tobac.
co and hay of this year was burned, to-
gether with carriages, wagons, farming
implements, harness, etc. The loss will
reach $4,000 and the insurance is moth
ing like as much. The building was
likely fired by tramps who were sleeping
in the barn.
