BLEW HIS HEAD OFF FOR LOVE-

BLEW HIS HEAD OFF FOR LOVE-
Coroner William 81. Kunsman was yes
terday morning called to Southampton,
Bucks county, Pa. to investigate the
shocking suicide of William Van Cleef,
the barber and telegrapher OF that
town. Van Cleef was found in his bar
Der chop with the entire top of his
head blown off and shotgun clasped
in his right arm, as he had fallen. But
not a shot could be found in either
walls or ceiling. He had evidently
loaded the gun with a heavy charge of
powder, placed the end of the barrel in
bis mouth aud pulled the trigger with
his left hand or his foot. The concus.
sion had torn off the top of his head as
completely as dynamite bomb would
have done. There are indications that
the suicide was due to unrequited love.

THE MEMORY of the internicine war
in this country is to be perpetuated Oh
sea as we'll as land. The three new
ships of the navy are to be named after
three of the federal naval commanders
in that war. Well, if the rich North
can afford to nurse such memory, and
the feelings it naturally cherishes, the
impoverished South can certainly dc
so. The life of a generation is 8 short
span in the history of nations.

SOME ANXIETY has been created
here by reports concerning the impurity
of the water with which the city is
supplied. 1t is without cause and is
entirely unnecessary. Cameron water
is as wholesome as any other that is
drunk any where. There are animal
cule in it, as there are in the purest air
that is breathed, but they are perfectly
harmless. No one need sleep less com
fortably for drinking as much of it as
is agreeable.

THE PRICE of farm products declined
last week, but the price of the product
of the steel rail combine" was ad-
vanced two dollars ton, to home con-
sumers, and that, too, though steel rails
are shipped and sold abroad at cheaper
rates than those made in foreign aoun-
tries can be bought in thosa countries.
But, for all this, the Dingley tariff bill
imposes tax of nearly eight dollars q
ton or. steel rails. However, as the
steel rail manufacturers here subscribed
literally to the fund with which the
election of Mr.. Mckinley was bought
they had to be afforded an opportunity
to recoup.

A POLISH ARCHBISHOP CoMING.-It
is probable that Catholic Polish arch
bishop will visit this country in the
near future to inquire into the condition
of the Polish speaking parishes of the
United States. A paragraph from a
Berlin paper is the authority for the
statement that Archbishop Hrynie-
wieski, of Wilma, who since his
return from exile in Russia has
acted as canon at the local
cathedral, is about to leave Galicia to
take up his residence permanently in
North America. at the request of the
Apostolic Delegate he will reside in
Washington, where Polish institution
of higher education is to be erected
under his direction. The object of his
mission is supposed to be the reorgani-
cation of the Polish clergy in America. +"
1t is supposed that such troubles as that
at present dividing St. Stanislaus' Po-
lish Church, Philadelphia, will be re.
ferred to the archbishop for settlement.

Several Surprises at the Monthly Meeting
Monday Night.
Special Correspondence oil Gazette ana journal
Dover, March 1.-The monthly ses-
sion of Town Council held last night
was of lively nature, and those
present outside Of the members were
treated to several surprises.
After considerable business OF a
routine nature had been transacted,
President Collins announced that the
election Of town solicitor was next
in order. For this Office Beniah Wat.
son, present incumbent was named, and
there being no opposition Mr.. Watson
was the unanimous cboice. His salary
was fixed at 500 the same as last year.
For chief supervisor of streets, Philip
S. Hurd, the present official, was named
without opposition. For assistant super
visors there was a scramble, which
finally resulted in the defeat of both
present officials President Collins said
that while he had no intention to make
a nomination, yet be hoped the mem
bers would re-elect Thomas Kinnamon,
who was Endorsed by the chief super
visor as faithful aud efficient worker,
and who had worn himself out working
for the town.
MTs bdib ioCOEhtNoo
the fact that Mr.. Kinnamon was a
| faithful worker on the street, but as
| the supervisors were also town con-
stables they should be men who were
physically capable of maintaining order
in the town, which had come to be d
very important matter.
1t was decided 10 elect the two
supervisors separately. and for the first
position Thomas KInnamon, George N.
| Tarbutton, James Dill and Frank Rus.
sci were nominated. On the second
ballot Russell received five votes to
| four for kinnamon and no was declared
elected.
| For the second supervisor Lewis j.
Hurd, Thomas Kinnainon, Robert u.
Hurd, George Tarbutton, James Dill
| and Stephen Pleasanton we're named.
| 1t took four ballots to effect choice,
which finally fell upon Robert L. Hurd,
who received six votes, Dill two and
kinnamon one. The salaries were fixed
at 1913 per month for the chief and $50
for each of the assistants. They are
| also expected to act as town constableR.
Jesse Baker wac elected special officer.
President ColliEs then surprised
many Of the spectators by announcing
that Ex- Collector of town and waite;
taxes L. G. L. Smith was behind in
his payments between 81, 100 and
81, 200, and stated that he had invited
the town solicitor TO attend the meet
ing SO that some means could be de
vised to force MIR. Smith to make 8
settlement, az the town NODDED thu
money.
Mr.. Taylor said that Mr.. Smith hac
paid nothing during 1896 on tho taxel
for 1895.
1t was decided to direct the clerk tc
prepare statement OF Mr.. Smith
indebtedness, and forward the same t.
him with a demand for settlement
