Arthur ]. Balfour, first lord of the

John Dillon, the Irish leader in the

THE government has observed the
partial failure of the potato crop with
great concern and it watching anxiously
the condition of the people in the
threatened districts. There is no need,
however, to summon Parliament ear
lier than is customary. because, should
the apprehensions Of the memorialists
be unhappily realized. the executive is
empowered to adopt the necessary
measures without waiting for the sane
ton of Parliament"

THREE WIFE MURDERS.
A Horrible Crime at Canton, Ohio
Yesterday.
William De Peyster Poured Oil
Over His Wife and Set Her or
Fire-Detective William Moore
or tho New York Police Force,
Under Arrest for the Same Crime.
A Third Case at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, o., October 1O.-A special
to the Commercial Tribune from Can.
ton, Chic, says:
Residents Of the Tenferloin district
az u5ylight this morn ng. who invee i
ga'ed screams, saw column Of flames
in the rear yard of the home Of Wiliiln
Def y.teI. In the flames vas found
Mrs. DePeyster, and before aid could
be rendered she was dead. the clothing
burned from her body, and he. flesh
literally roasted. The kitchen of the
house was covered with oil spots and
fragments of a broken lamp were
found in the house and yard. DePey-
ster, when found, would give no expla-
nation of what occurred and was placed
under arrest on suspicion Of murder.
Neighbors say he and his wife had been
quarreling ell night.
Maggie Greathouse, who was on the
second floor of the building all night,
was taken in custody by the officers as
witness. She gives no light ON the
case beyond the starting of the quarrel
shortly after midnight She tells OF a
former attempt DePeyster made to kill
his wife several months ago. At The
time, when he was arrested for disor-
DERBY conduct, she says, after a pro-.
tracted quarrel between DePeyster ana
hie III Al
swer to a call for help and found Mis-.
DePeyster's night robe on fire and sat
urated with oil which DePeyster had
poured over her after breaking the
lamp. He had ignited the garment.
The two men fought him off and ex-
tinguished the flames. The DePeysters
have borne unenviable regulations for
some time and have conducted several
questionable places. Mrs. DePeyster's
reputation has been unsavory for years.
DePeyster comes from well-to-do
family and was a railroad man up to
three years ago, when he married this
woman, since which time he has been
in bad pursuits
Opinion differs as to how Mrs. De-
Peyster's clothing was ignited this
morning. 1t was at first supposed that
a lighted lamp had been thrown at her,
but as the burner to the lamp cannot
be found and nothing in the room where
the oil was spilled was burned, leaving
no evidences of an explosion, some Of
the officers believe that the plan de-
scribed by the Greathouse woman on
former occasion was the one which
caused the death this morning.

Special to the Register
Boston, Mass, October 10.-An inter-
esting event occurred at the Pickering
school reunion, at Salem, yesterday. In
1897 Moses Sweetzer, of Wheeling, W.
Va, and John Melcher were school boys
attending the Pickering school. The
boys were known as "chums." They
formed a partnership for the tanning
of squirrel leather. The partnership
vas short-lived. Some dis agreement
arose and the two youngsters dissolved
III III temper Both boys made vow
that they would never speak, to each
other again.
Mr.. SweetZer was busily engaged in
conversation with one of the old school
BOYS to-day, when John Melcher came
strolling into the reception room. The
two men were brought face to face.
Neither recognized the other until
names were given and then there was a
hearty handshake, but no record was
made of which spoke the first word
Mr. Sweetzer passed the greater part
CT his life in West Virginia, and it was
only recently that he came back TO this
vicinity. He learned of TIE reunion
through the papers and decided to see
il he could renew any old acuuailt-
auces

A DELUGE
Of Water Poured Into the Fashion
able Quarter of New York City by
the Breaking Of q Four-Foot
Water Main.

New York, Octob-r 10.-A large Gro
ton water main burst early this morn
ing at the corner Of Madison avenue
and Forty-eighth street, in the heart
of the fashionable district, and wrought
SO much havoc with property that not
even a partial calculation can be made
of the financial damage at present. For
blocks around scarcely a building es-
capped injury by reason of the vol
umes of water which poured into the
streets, cellars and Easements. The
damage will reach far into the thou
sands. The sewers were choked by the
great rush of water and the flood rose
in the streets. The big water main was
probably cracked by blast which was
fired in a sewer excavation late Satur-
day afternoon. Then in the night time,
when the strain on the pipe was great
est it gave way and the flood followed.
The breakage Of the four-foot pipe was
announced by a rumbling noise, and a
COlunu Vi water ssHOL lDlO Tie ait 81
high that it reached almost to the top
Of the electric light poe on the corner
For five hours this column shot up,
and in that time ten million gallons

side streets. The most serious damage
was done to the building of the railroad
branch Of the Y NJ. c. A., and to the
Knickerbocker Athletic Clubhouse. In
the basement of the latter place, we're
located the dynamos, machinery, bowl
ing alleys, bath rooms and big swim
ming tank. These have probably been
ruined The loss is placed at $4,000.
Almost without exception, the houses
in the vicinity of the break were so
flooded that they have been damaged
firm $500 to $4,000. The main which
broke was laid in 1874, and has capac-
ity of 100000 gallons an hour, with
pressure of twenty-seven pounds to
the square inch.

A FAMOUS VICTORY.
Details Of the Cuban Success in the
Carmen Hills.
Col. Rotger's anish Column
Routed With Heavy Loss in Men
and Officers - Cubans Sack a
Town in Pinar Del Rio-Honors
to Garcia-A Plucky Rebel Cap
tain-The New Captain-G
to Sail at Once.

New York, October 10-A dispatch
to the Herald from Tampa, Fla, says:
Details of the defeat inflicted on the
Spanish under Col. Rotger, by Gen. Cas-
tillo, on October 9Th, are just at hand.
Gen. Castillo, Major Myares and Col.
Andres Hernandez were encamped in
the Carmen hills. Col. Rotger, with
eighteen hundred men, appeared before
the rebels position early in the morn
ing. He was expected, and the insur-
gents had occupied three positions, Gen.
Castillo commanding the center. He
had two rapidfire guns Myares' COM
mand was to the first to open fire as the
Spanish charged up the hill. Castillo's
guns did great execution, and the Span
iards retired in confusion. In the Sec
ond attack Rotger fell wounded and his
men lost heart and retired. The Span
iards lost forty-six killed and sixty
wounded, including their commander,
and seven officers Gen. Castillo still
holds his position.
Rebels under command of Col Lazeo
attacked the town of Cangre, in Pinar
del Rio, before sunrise on October 9th,
and after sacking several stores and
setting fire to the place, the insurgents
hanged two volunteers and four Gu
bans who had acted as guides OF the
Spanish troops. On the approach of a
Spanish column under Gen. Lono the
rebels fed. Cangre is within two or
three miles of Pinar del Rio City, and
the inhabitants OF that city are greatly
frightened.
The Cuban government has bestowed
especial honors on Gen. Calixto Garcia
for the capture Of Victoria de las
Tunas.
The military commander of Metuna
del Sur has been replaced by General
Weyler's orders. The commander cap
tured a rebel captain and placed him
in a cell without taking away his
machete. When the warden carried
food to the captain, the latter struck
him down and rushed out and ma
cheted four guards who attempted to
bar his progress.
There have been so many deaths
from disease and starvation in GUIANA
bacoa, a suburb of Havana, that in
order to bury the dead in the ceme-
teries, the authorities have been COM
PEELED to exhume bodies which have
been less than a year under ground.

nothing in the way of formal care-
mony. A smart shower finally sent
the spectators scurrying for shelter.
There were no partisan collisions
and the tone of the anti-Parnell press,
in commenting upon the anniversary
and the celebration, is exceptionally
moderate. The Irish World says:
ut is deplorable that the great
mans memory should be dragged into
the arena of party politics. Parnell
has been dead long enough for his
name to be placed beside those of the
greatest patriots, high above section
and sect, amid the reverence and love
of grateful people united in senti-
ment here, if, unfortunately, nowhere
else"
