a HoRRInLE CRIME.

The tragedy Just enacted on the New
Castle causeway is so narrowing in its
details that the details are scarcely fit
for a person of delicate nerve to read.
It is one OF those crimes in which a
brutal negro, for the sake of a few
dollars, deliberately takes the life OF
his employer and benefactor, and then
fees from the scene Of his crime, hop
ing TO elude the officers Of the law and
evade the penalty of his diabolical
crime. IL has been but a few weeks
since we had a case almost similar In
character out near Hockesin, but, hap
PLY, the results were not so serious, al
though they proved almost fatal to the
farmer who was the victim Of the out
rageous assault.
No effort should be spared to bring
this fend to justice. If it requires
money It should be forthcoming from
the state or from the municipality. The
great thing is to convince him and
others who have murder in their hearts
that they cannot carry out their flend-
ish purpose ansd escape punishment.
with such unprovoked crimes as this
happening in such civilized commu-
nifty no man Is safe as long as such
men are permitted to remain at large.

NAVAL OFFICER THINKS THERE is
NOTHING LIKE THE COMMERCE
&
DESTROYER

The larger vessels Of the American and other
thoroughly modern navies may be divided into
two general classes battle-ships and cruisers
The former are heavily armOred slow and capa-
BILE Of traversing comparatively small distances
without a fresh supply Of coal. The latter are
lightly armored, and their models and engines
both conduce to high speed. The dmnution in
the burden Of their armOr renders them able
to carry more coal and to achieve much longer
runs The ease with which the battle-ships can
be sent to Davy Joness locker by a well directed
torprdo as we'll as their enormous cost, has ex-
cited grave doubts in the minds OF naval ex-
nors as TO the value Of this type Of vessel. Only
a few weeks ago Admiral Coulomb, British
authority Of high rank, openly confessed that,
in his judgment the future development OF
naval strength would be along different lines OF
construction.
