The Morley Murder.

Later Information from ChamberinO,
n. M, developes that the name of the
murdered boy was Harold, and that
the cause of the deed was no doubt
spite on the part of Mrs. Morley's
Mexican neighbors because Of land
troubles she had with them.
The boy left home Monday morning
for Brunswick on horseback, and as he
was not heard from again his mother
became anxious. On Monday midnight,
the horse showed up at Mrs. Morley's
with saddle and bride on but no boy.
Search was instituted as..soon as possible
next morning, and at 5 p. m, the child
was found'strung up to tree. He had
evidently been roped off his horse,
killed and then hung.
An attempt was made to get an un-
dertaker from this city to embalm the
bojy, but he could not have got up
there until the next noon, and as the
body had been hanging in the sun for
two days, it was past embalming, so
the funeral and interment were held
yerterday. No arrests had been at
last accounts.

Knocking at the Very Doors
of Havana for Admission.
SPANIARDS BADLY CUT UP
Direct Advices Show That the Iusur-
gents are Attacking Villages in
the Outskirts of Havana and Now
Have the Spaniards OH the DefeR-
siVe.
HAvANv, August 12.-The situation

HAvANv, August 12.-The situation
and the activity of the insurgents
around the capital has aroused fear tha,
it may. be attacked at any time
Weyler has retreated before the invad-
ing forces of Gomez, from Matanzas tc
Havana province. American Consul
General Lee has received from Matan-
zas word that the insurgents in that
province number eight thousand.
At Santo del Chiro, near Havana. the
insurgents routed the Spanish last
night, who were compelled to retreat
to the capital, leaving on field many
dead and wounded. Gomez has arrived
in Havana province and declares that
he will attack the city with big force.
The situation is desperate for the
Spaniards.
Ahumada, second in command, is
| sick. WeSler is in camp in the inter-
| ior. A few days ago he went by coast
steamer from Havana to Matanzas and
thence out into the country to Aqua
cate, in Havana province. Aguacate
is a large town between Matanzas and
Havana. It is within sixty miles of
Havana. The railroad, however, has
been blown up, and there are strong
bodies of insurgents between Aguacate
and the Havana terminus. It would
be most natural for the officials to try
to suppress the Information of the as
sassination until Weyler could reach
Havana.
If the insurgents are sufficiently sup
piled with ammunition, it is thought
they will a once lake the field and rap
idly possess themselves of the interior
of the island, re-occupying the proviu-
ces Of Pinar Del Rio, Havana, Matan-
zas, ard Santa Clara, as they now hold
Puerto principe and Santiago.
Three Spanish columns this morning
were attacked in the Grillo hills, near
Madr iga. Havana province. The fight
ing, which still continues, has been
fierce'y waged. The Spaniards admit
| losing so far, having lost eleven men
killed including one maj jor, one lieu
| tenant and forty meo wounded. Media

and not in the least vicious, so [ was

IN CHEAP RESTAURANTS.
The Waters Are Almost Invariably
Americans-A Theory.


Americans-A Theory.
\ New Yorker who in the course of
a long and varied career has patronized
all sorts and conditions of restaurants
has discovered that the cheaper and
poorer the restaurant the more likely
are the walters to be born Americans.
At the more expensive restaurants, says
the New York Sun, the walters are, as a
rule, French, and always foreign. Eng
lish, Irish and German walters are
usually found in less expensive places,
and one is not sure to find an American
until he reaches restaurants of the
cheapest sort
The New Yorker who has made this
discovery accounts for it on the ground
that less scrvility is expected at the
cheap places than at the more eNpen-
sive restaurants. The same feeling of
independence which keeps American
men and women from becoming house
hold servants prevents the first from
becoming walters at restaurants where
too much Difference to the customers is
required. Unfortunately for his theory,
he has discovered that fees, which a
truly Independent man would spurn,
are as much appreciated at a cheap res
taurant as they are unexpected. They
procure Difference, too, which would
not be out of place in restaurants Amer
leans are presumed by him to be too in
dependent to work in. The theorist is
not so much annoyed at his theory be-
ing in part contradicted by his expert
ence as at the practical inconvenience
of finding the practice of feeling extend
ing to the cheap restaurants.

Postal Oddities.

Langhorne and Bristol, says the Phil
adelphia Record, are only five miles
apart, and yet it sometimes takes two
days for letter mailed in one town
TO reach its destination in the other.
The mail goes off by way of Philadel-
phia, making the entire distance in
transit about 40 miles. The post Offices
at Langhorne and Eden are only 500
yards apart, and yet a letter from one
of these offices to the other must travel
sc miles, via Philadelphia. This, how
ever, is eclipsed by letter which the
late William Kinney, of Bristol, re-
ceived shortly before his death. This
letter had been addressed to Bristol, r.
T., and readdressed to Bristol, Pa 1t
was received three years after it was
written.
