OUR EASTERN FLEET.
ADMIRAL sELFRlDee IN COMMAND OF

A Brave and Discreet Omcor who Is Well
Qualified to Safeguard Uncle sam's In

II should not require very much dis
Sretion in the handling of our foreign
affairs to avoid entangling the United
States in the disturbed meshes Of the
eastern question. We can afford to
maintain an entirely neutral position
and view the efforts TO settle the Turco-
Grecian imbroglio with dispassionate
eyes. AS individuals we may give our
sympathies to one side or the other, but
as q nation we climb TO a safe position
ON the back fence and watch the fur fly.
1t may be comforting to know, how
ever, that we have feet Of fairly re-
spectacle size in the Mediterranean COM
manded by an officer who has reputa-
tion for cool discretion as we'll as gal
liant bravery. Admiral Thomas o. Sell
fridge is in command of the European
station, and up to a short time ago he
and his officers were leading a most un-
eventful existence with their ships at
anchor in peaceful Mediterranean ports.
The breaking out Of hostilities
brought them most welcome change.
Even il there was no prospect of an op-
portunity to use their own guns they
anticipated the chance to see the war
ships of other nations in action, for in
order TO afford protection to what small
American interests there may be in the
disturbed country our fighting ships
have been sent to different points near

Although Admiral Selfridge has at
his disposal not one Of our new battle

Got the Verdict.

A Welsh county court judge recently
had before him a case in which a print
or sued a pork butcher for the value of
large parcel of paper bags with the
latter's advertisement printed thereon.
The printer having no suitable illustra
ton to embellish the work, thought he
improved the occasion by putting an
elaborate royal arms above the mans
name and address. but ultimately the
latter refused to pay.
The judge, looking over specimen,
observed that. for his part, he thought
the lion and unicorn was much nicer
than an old fat pig.
"Oh, WELL" answered the butcher,
perhaps your honor likes to eat animals
like that, but my customers don't. [
don't kill lions and unicorns. / only kill
fat pigs!'

 STATUS OF THE COAL STRIKE.
Believed That This Week Will Determine
 How the Issue Will End.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 22.-Develop- ments in the coal mining situation in the Pittsburg district will be wached with unusual interest this week. Both sides were apparently at rest to-day but it was developed that at the conference tomorrow there will probably be a dis ruption. By many, it is believed that M. D. Ratchford, the national president of the miners organization will not be present. It is claimed that he will stick to his original assertion that he will not agree to arbitrate unless all the states involved are represented.
 It is a well known fact that the oper- ators of other states will not join the local operators in the local movement for arbitration. If Ratchford is obdu- rate the conference will be useless. From a reliable source it was learned that if the operators start mines on the lines laid down, other mines will also be started by the miners. It is pro- posed to select operators who are not represented at the conference and who are friendly to the miners.
 They will be given permission to mine coal at the rate demanded. and the coal stored. By this means it is expected to get a fund from the union miners that happen to be working, and with this fund pay the expenses of fight against imported labor The miners officials are making arrangements to have a fund on hand to send foreign labor home just as fast as it arrives. With mines operated under the Jurisdiction of the labor leaders and with operators that are friendly who reap a. profit, they hope to have available large funn. This plan has been outlined and will be submitted to the national off, cials if the conference proves a fail- ure

E. P. DEACON IS INSANE
THE MAN WHO KILLED M. EMILE
 ABEILLE 4 MANIAC.

His Act in Killing Abeille, Whom He
 the Talk of Two Continents-scion of
 One of Boston's Distinguished Families
 Has Been Committed to a Retreat.
 Boston, Aug. 22.-Edward Parker Dea- con, the descendant of an old and once distinguished family of this city, the man who on February ', 1892, killed M. Emile Abeille in Mrs. Deacons apart ments at Cannes, France, the man whose exploits and actions have been the talk of society in France, England, and America, and have created consid- erable public interest, was on Saturday committed to the Insane hospital at Waverly.
 He came to Boston on Thursday last from Narragansett Pier, accompanied by his trusted valet and nurse, MT. E. I. Peck. They registered at the hotel Bellevue on Beacon street, which place MT. Deacon has made his home for several years while in this city, He acted peculiarly soon after register ing and seemed far from being in his right mind; but being noted for eccen- tricities, nothing was thought at first of the manner in which he acted. On Thursday night, however, he grew violent, and his nurse and valet, who accompanied him, began to realize that MT. Deacon was demented. Lawyer W. P. Blake of Pemberton Square, who has charge of MT. Dea- cons property as trustee was sum- moned, and responded at once. It was not long before MT. Blake arrived at the violently insane, and he sent for Dr. Jelly, the expert on insanity. Shortly afterward MT. Deacon became demon- strative and discharged his nurse. An other nurse was summoned and all day Friday Deacon was almost uncontrol- able.
 Finally it was thought advisable to send MT. Deacon to Mclean hospital as precautionary measure. When there he quieted down and appeared content ed. He looked haggard and worn, and seemed but as a shadow of his former self.
 His Authorizations are that enemies seek to do him harm and the hospital Influence seems to have relieved his mind on this point. A consultation of physicians has been called but the se- riousness of the case has not been de- | termined

 Synagogue, Schools and Houses.

Pilsen, Bohemia, Aug. 22.-The dis turbances begun on Friday by the fan atical opponents of the Jews were re- sumed yesterday.

FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALs.
Edward Brady and James Cramer Arr
 rested for Overdriving Horse

Edward Brady and James Cramer Arr
 rested for Overdriving Horse.
 Edward T. Brady, who gave his resi- dence as 104 Crown stret, this city, and James Cramer. who said that he lived on Hamilton street, were arrested last evening for fast driving and cruelty to animals. The men hired a horse and carriage from Liveryman Ferguson at 130 Crown street yesterday morning and went to drive down West Haven way. They drove on down to the shore and were returning to the city last evening, driving rapidly, when sudden ly the horse fell on Elm street, West Haven, just in front of Dr. M J. Ad- ans residence. The animal was una- ble to rise and the men who had been driving it started away leaving the horse lying on the electric car tracks. An officer was notified by nearby resi- dents who had seen the horse fall and Cramer was arrested by Officer William Clinton before he had left West Ha- ven. Brady, however, escaped for the time being and came to New Haven. The West Haven borough officers noti- fled the police of this city that Brady was wanted there and his description was given to the officers as they went out on their beats. Brady was finally arrested by Officer J. H. Moore. West Haven was notified and Officer Clinton came up after the prisoner at Il o'clock Both men will be tried in the West Ha- ven borough court to-day, for cruelty to animals. The two men who were arrested claim that the horse had been poorly fed and fell down from weak ness caused thereby and not by over- driving
 It may be of interest to bicyclists and those who drive through West Ha- ven to know that by recently passed borough ordinance it is against the law to drive or ride wheels through the borough at a rate faster than 10 miles an hour. The ordinance goes into effect Sept. 20.

HE SHOT TO KILL.
Assassination of Hon. Thomas
 o. seaver, Vermont Probate Judge.


 O. seaver, q Vermont Probate Judge.
 Woodstock, Vt, Aug. 22.-Hon. Thom- as c. Seaver, judge of probate Tor Windsor county, was shot this morning by William W. Lawrence, while stand ing on the piazza of his residence, the ball penetrating his right lung, lodging under the shoulder blade. The wound- ed man is reported as resting quietly tonight and the attending physician thinks he will recover, although his age, beyond 60 years, will tell against him.
 Lawrence surrendered himself to Sheriff Thomas after the shooting, and was lodged in jail to await proceedings tomorrow. It is alleged that their troubles commenced in 1896 when Mrs. Lawrence left husband and child and applied to Judge Seaver for the ap- pointment Of a guardian over the girl who was about years of age. It is said that Lawrence tried to steal the child from the parties who were car ing for her under the direction of the guardian, Joseph c. Enright, then state attorney. Judge Seaver then granted an injunction restraining Lawrence from interfering with the girl in any way.
 At the last session of the court Mrs. Lawrence petitioned for divorce on the grounds of intolerable severity and refusal to support. The case was tried before Judge Stark and dismissed be- cause of insufficient evidence, the in- junction was removed and Lawrence was given permission to see his child. Lawrence conducted his own case, re- fusing counsel
 He has greatly disliked Judge Seaver ever since the guardian was appoint ed and this morning he called upon the judge and entered into a hot discussion with him. The judge ordered Lawrence to leave the house and followed him to the door where Lawrence drew re- volver and fired two shots, the first of which took effect as before stated. At the jail Lawrence was searched and a small quantity of morphine was found upon him showing undoubtedly that he was a morphine eater and at times mentally unbalanced.
 Judge Seaver Is highly respected and has been judge of the probate court l for many years

COAL OIL FOR FUEL.
Government to Experiment With 1t on
 New Torpedo Fleet.

Government to Experiment With 1t on
 New Torpedo Fleet.
 Washington, Aug. 22-The secretary of the navy has ordered Lieutenant Nathan Sargent to proceed at once to the oil fields of Pennsylvania. where he will make careful investigation of the various grades of the petroleum produced in that region with a view to it's use as fuel for marine engines Upon the conclusion of this work he will report to the authorities In charge of the Newport torpedo station. and plans will be drawn for an oil engine which will be placed in one of the new torpedo boats now being built by the Herreshoffs.
 This will be the first attempt to use petroleum as fuel for the torpedo fleet, but from the success that has been attained with this motive force in swift steam launches owned by private parties both here and abroad the navy department looks very favorably on the experiment. Some of the advantages expected from the new fuel is greater fuel carrying capacity economy in the SoSI oA lucl anu IHe aDluty to develop extremely high steam pressure under forced draught
 The plans for the new engine are not yet laid and will depend largely on the report on the various grades of petro- leum at command. It is possible that with this innovation in fuel will be combined the use of the steam turbine engine whose success in the English torpedo boat Turbina has marked a de- cided epoch in the development of these feet-footed destroyers abroad.
