The New S'ea mboaf.

The steamer Geo. II. Brady arrived al
Smyrna Landing at noon Sunday week
and II stopped at the new warehouse built
at Fleming's Landing, on the property OF
VIM. Coming. 1t was decided attraction
at this place from the time of its arrival
until the evening hours The new boat
had made her trial trip on the Delaware
on Thursday, making IL miles in 72 minu-
tos, against tide, and that her arrival at her
stopping place, Smyrna Landing, would
be made Sunday was well known. The
day turned out to be clear and warm, and
not only did our people walk down to the
landing In large numbers but they rode
from Middletown, Odessa, Townsend, and
even from Dover, for the outing and to
see the new steamer. The crowd was esti
mated at 1000, OF course the boat had a
thorough inspection, with expressions Of
approval.
She is a great improvement on the Ella,
which has been serving the wants of the
company more as freight boat until the
present time and which left the same
afternoon for new limo of freight up the
river The Geo. H. Brady made her first
trip. as per schedule, on Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, taking passengers at Smyrna
and Fleming's Landing As before said
the new steamer is commodious and a
credit to the river. 1t is handsomely fur
nished for passengers, having saloons for
ladies and gentlemen, with state rooms
for the accommodation of 30 passengers,
and lighted by electricity. A large new
hack has been procured to run between
the town of Smyrna and the boat. The
dimensions Of the boat are: Length, 115 It;
breadth, 81 IT; depth, 2 IT. She Is run by
strong compound engines. She also has
engine and dynamos TO furnish electric
light and Il steam plant to heat the boat
throughout. The citizens are pleased and
we trust that 1t will be properly patron
lied.

FiIibusterine Scheme Prevented

Key West, Fla, March 31.-The tug
Monarch was, 1t is believed. prepared
TO take another expedition to Cuba
when captured by the cutter Wonona
yesterday The tug Clyde left port at
D o'clock in the morning with the
schooner Cora in tow. The Cora was
loaded with coal in bags, and it is pre-
Bamed that 1t was intended to transfer
the coal to the Monarch. The capture
OF the tug, however. prevented this.
The Clyde returned to port yesterday
morning with hole stove in its bow,
haying struck reef. Captain w. II.
Lewis. the well known coast pilot, who
hgures In the Three Friends expedi-
lions, is on the Monarch. He was last
heard of at Punta Corda, when the
Fearless left there last week with an
expedition. The Fearless evidently
transferred its cargo to the Monarch,
which probably landed it in Cuba.

Dangers of the Panama Scandals

Paris, March Sl.-The revelations In
the Panama scandal will be far reach
Ing In their effects. They are likely
to cause an outburst of national in.
dignation on the widest scale. The ex-
citing proceedings In the chamber OF
deputies during the last day or two
give only the most slender notion OF
the panic which prevails in every
branch Of the public life of France
Names are openly mentioned in the
lobbies of parliament and the pre-
cincts Of the Palias Bourbon which,
when they reach the ears of the CON
stituenoies, will spread distrust
throughout the whole country. One of
two things will happen-either the po-
sition of the Socialists will be greatly
strengthened or the republican form
of government will be dissolved or
constitutionally revised.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but

pletely restored the general health, but

The Tobacco Trusts New Scheme


New York, March S1.-The American
Tobacco company, which embraces a
large majority of the tobacco and cigar
ette firms in the United States, yester-
day issued circular wherein formal
notice is given of the abandonment of
its factor agreement, which formerly
existed between the company and its
customers. The reasons for the change
are the antitrust laws passed in many
states. second circular says: 1T is
our hope that the success of our busi-
ness will warrant our making donations
of money or merchandise to our GUS
toners from time to time in recogni-
tion Of their interest in distributing our
goods. The donations will be based
upon the amount of our products pur-
chased by you direct from us and upon
the expense to us of maintaining the
output brands in your state"

Young Mother Found Dead with the
Lifeless Body of Her Babe in Her

New York, March S1.-Three persons

SHAFT and from there up through the
house. The dead are Mrs. Elizabeth
French, % years old, her 6-months-old
child, and Miss Ellen Morrlssey, Of AL
bany, who was visiting Mrs. French.
The body of Mrs. Thomas Darling
ton was found in the ruins at O'Clock
This morning, making four dead. 1t
is now believed that her 5-year-old son
Thomas has also been burned to death.
Ten families lived In the house, but
There We're no men on the premises
when the fire broke out SAll Of the
women and children on the first four
noors got out of the burning building,
although number of them had mar
row escapes on account of the dense
smoke. The three persons who lost
their lives were the only occupants Of
The NTH floor when the fire broke out.
Hhe flames spread so rapidly that the
stairway leading from the fourth to
the fifth floors was destroyed before
AIRS. French or Miss Morrissey became
aware that the house was on fire, and
There was no chance for them to get
out.
They ran to window overlooking
o street and made their presence in
the burning building known to the
hremen, who were already at work
lighting the flames. Several men
mounted to the roof with ropes, but
1t was scarcely possible for them to
stand because of the heavy smoke that
poured from the air shaft opening.
An attempt was made to reach the
window where the women had been
seen, but 1t was of no use.
As soon as the fire was under control
the firemen got into the room where
the women were seen. One of the wo-
men lay dead on a couch, clasping
tightly in her lifeless arms the body
OF an infant. Near the front window
was the body of another woman. They
bad all died of suffocation.

been notified by the secretary of war
to make arrangements for his early
transfer to that command. Although
not entirely settled, 1t is more than
probable that Brigadier General J. r.

Rugers retirement will result in pro-
