Abide in me, o'ershadow by Thy love
Each half formed purpose and dark thought
Of san;
Queneh, ere it rise each selfish, low desire
And keep my soul as Thine-calm and divine
Abide in me. There have been moments pure
| When l have seen Thy face and felt Thy

Then evil lost its grasp, and passion, hushea.

These were but seasons, beautiful and rare;

pray Thee now fulfill my earnest prayer
! Come and abide ia me, and in Thee.

WHAT FORTY AMERICANS DID
In Porto Rico They Drove Back Eight
Hundred Spaniards With Heavy
Loss-Two Hours Fight

CAPE SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, via St.
Thomas, D. W. l., Aug. 11.-There was
a two hours fight before day break
Tuesday. Eight hundred Spaniards
attempted to retake the Lighthouse,
which was guarded by 40 of our sail
ors, commanded by Lieut. Atwater,
Assistant Engineer Jenkins, Ensign
Bronson and Gunner Campbell. The
Spaniards were driven back by shells
from the Amphitrite, Cincinnati and
Leyden. Refugees report that 100
Spaniards were killed.
b.. William H. Boardman, of the Am
phitrite, of Lawrence, Mass, 4 second
classman in the naval academy, was
seriously wounded. He was in the
lighthouse.
The Spanish advance began from
Rio Grande, whittier the Spanish had
reiterated after the first landing of
troops at Cape San Juan last week
They marched through Luquillo and
pulled down the American flag at Fa-
iardo and replaced the Spanish flag.
The ships landed $50 men during the
fight and REINFORCED the lighthouse.
A machine gun, rifles and ammunition
were left by the retreating Spaniards
Our flag is still on the lighthouse, but
the force has been withdrawn.
The Amphitrite's guns cover the
lighthouse, ready to annihilate it
if our flag is hauled down. 1t is one
of the most important lights on the is
land.
The Cincinnati has gone to the San
Juan blockade.

WERE LYNCHED.
Five Bodies, Two Men and Three WOm-
en-, Swings From the Limbs of Trees.
The Wife of Orr Was Implicated i'm the
Cruel Murder, and Was Arrested
and Placed in Jail, Where She
Committed Suicide.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 10.--Five
Negroes are hanging from the limbs
of trees near the railroad track and
the widow of John T. Orr is dead in
her cell This is the tragic denoue-
ment of the assassination of John L.
Orr, a wealthy merchant at Clarendon
few nights ago. The wife died from
dose of poison self-administered
while the Negroes, her associates in
crime, were strung up by mob of cit
izens
The report of the lynching was re-
ceived here at an early hour Tuesday
morning, after Geographic commune
cation had been suspended for the
night, and the only authenic details of
the affair came from a railroad
telegraph operator at Clarendon who
saw the lynching. Four bodies,
two women and two men, are
hanging from the limb of a
tree not far from his Office, and a few
PAGES away bangles the body OF an
other Negro woman, the former cook
in the Orr household Miss Morris,
the Jewess implicated in the assassina-
ton, was not hanged, she having dis
appeared Monday night
The lynched are: Manse Castle, Dem
mis- Ricord, Villa Weaver, Susie Jacobs,
viii Saunders.
Last Saturday night John T. Orr was
assassinated while making a glass of
lemonade. He had just returned from
choir practice where his wife was or.
ganist. The crime was shrouded in mys-
terry until Miss Morris told some body
that she knew who fired the shot. A
coroner's inquest resulted in the ar
rest of five Negroes and Mrs. Orr, and
a warrant for Miss Morris It was
charged that the wife had hired the
Negroes to do the murder. Orr's life
was insured for S., 900 and it developed
at the inquest that Orr and
his wife lived unhappily. Mr.. Orr
was formerly a theatrical man. In
1890 the couple elOped to a summer re-
| sort in Wisconsin and were married.
Later the settled in Clarendon, where
Orr prospered IN business and was con-
sidered wealthy at the time of his

SKAGUAY SWEPT BY FIRE.
Fifteen or Twenty Houses Were in Flames
as the Steamer Farrallon Cast OF
Her Ropes in That Port

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1O-A spe-
cial to the Chronicle from Vancouver
says:
The steamer Farrallon arrived in
Vancouver Tuesday. On Thursday
night she left Skaguay and at that
time Capt rogers says Skaguay
was threate ned with destruction by
fire. Fifteen or twenty houses were
in flames as the steamer cast off
her ropes, and the last report he re-
ceived was that an inadequate fire
brigade was attempting to keep the
flames FROM the dynamite sheds, where
the railway company had their powder
stored. This seemed to be impossible,
as the fire was rapid ~ spreading. The
people were panic-s tricken and the
forests surrounding the town were all
ablaze.
1t was ali awe-lnspiring sight and
looked from the water as if nothing
could save the town from destruction
The house caught fire from the bush
fires surrounding Skaguay and as a
high wind prevailed itdrove the flames
to the center of the town. Passengers
on board expressed the opinion that
Skaguay had been swept out of exist
ep"e by the fire, but the purser stated
that he believed the fire could be got
ten under control, as it started near
the water front, and the demolishing
of several houses between there and
the center of town prevent the flames
from spreading.

HUSBAND ALLEGES CRUELTY.
Reasons Assigned for Desiring Decree
of Divorce.

Extraordinary cruelty is the charge upon
which Louis Arthur Reinburg bases his
petition for divorce, filed today, from his
wife, Nora. They were married November
%, 1894, in st. Peters Church in this city,
and have one child, Tobetha, born in 1895.
The bill declares that Immediately after
the marriage the wife began to treat plain
tiff with great cruelty and personal abuse.
He soon discovered that she was addicted
to the use of chloroform and opium pellets,
and every few months she would become
dangerous and wild as result. In jan
uary last. he says, she tried to stat him
while asleep, and later she attacked him
with a butchers knife. When he was ly-
ing ill from chills and fever she threw a
bucket of ice water on him. 1t is also
charged that she cracked glass and tried to
persuade her servant to mix it with flour
In order to kill him. When she discovered
that the servant had thrown the -four away
the defendant. the bill AYERS, threw at him
every dish then on the table.
Mr.. Renburg also declares that his wife
has frequently and cruelty whipped their
child without cause, neglects her, and is un-
mt to have charge of the little one He
wants an absolute divorce and custody of

THOSE ADHESIVE STAMPS
Attorney General Griggs Sees No Reason fo,
Excitement
No Court Would Punish an Individual
Where the Government Itself
is the Responsible Party.

The Attorney General takes less serious
view than some of the other officials of the
action of the Senate finance committee in
declining to recommend the extension 10
July 10 of the time when the adhesive
stamp tax shall go into effect. Any failure
to affix stamps to commercial and other
paper subject to tax could, it is said, be
rcmedied by compliance with the law at
any time. Even should the matter be
taken into court it is doubted If the courts
would impose a penalty where there was
not shown an intent to defraud the govern
ment of it's revenues.
If the stamp required was not procur-
able at the time the instrument was drawn
the government, and not the individual,
would be responsible. 1t is also stated that
unstamped paper would be perfectly good
as between individuals, and not until the
matter was brought into court could any
question be raised as to its validity.
What Commissioner Scott Thinks.
Mr.. Scott, internal revenue commissioner,
is of the opinion that danger to business
could be avoided by temporarily using
postage stamps with Il. r. stamped on
their face. 1t is not thought this can be
done, however. The prevailing opinion is
that this would not be legal The postage
stamp idea would not work for collections
on paper charged at less than cents.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN,
Government Guarding Water Suppl
Other Items of Interest.

other Items of Interest.
In view of the present war with Spain
the government is taking iprecaution to
look after the local water supply. A guard
day and night has been established along
the Conduit road, rot noticeable, perhaps,
on account Of the fact that the guards
were in civilians attire and not in the
Uniform of soldiers. At intervals small
box-like structures are, built for the ac-
commodation of the guards.
Near the lower reservoir there is a guard
and at Cabin John bridge there is another.
At the second Cabin John bridge over a
mile distant, and at points further up there
are additional guards. These men are en-
ployed continuouslyis taking turns on duty.
The danger feared is not so much from an
organized body of men as It Ii from one
or two individuals who would be able to
reach sny portion of the Conduit road and
explode a package of dynamite with dis
astrous results to the water supply.
A permit was recently granted to Chas
H. Ruth, for the Lake Construction Com
pany, to use dynamite in blasting for the
site of row of houses which are to be
erected at the northwest corner of ;3d
and streets. A few feet below the level
OF the street solid rock bottom was en-
ccuntered, and in giving the permit the
Commissioners stipulated that no charge
Of dynamite over half pound should be
used, and that the rock to be blasted
should be thoroughly covered with tirlbers
Sx10x1O inches, chained together, to pre-
vent fragments of rock from flying through
the air. Instead of going to this expense
the contractor has hit upon q much more
novel scheme. The rocks to be blasted
are saturated with coal Oil and then ignit-
ed, and sticks of wood thrown on to thor
orghly heat the hard substance. When the
fire has reached its highest point cold
water is thrown upon the heated rock,
cracking it thoroughly
Within the past week change has been
made in illuminating the Aqueduct bridge
whereby the structure is brighter by night
than ever. Instead of sir gle incandescent
lights. clusters of three lamps have been
substituted. The electric current, how
ever, appears to be too strong, for the
lights have not been satisfactory. For the
past two nights a number have failed to
burn owing to the fact that the carbon
matter will soon be remeded.
