died on the 2sth ult. about pm, ut the res
idence Of her daughter, Mrs. William p.
SpinK 2J5 Bucklin street, this city, 93 years,
10 months and II days old, nearly reaching
tho ninety fourth milestone Of life.
Mrs. Allen was the oldest child \of Samuel
Low Carpenter and Mary tor Polly westcott,
both bf this city, who had three sons and
three daughters. Sally Ann orinoa aud
Martha. Paul, Horatio ana William TIL
linghast Mrs. Allen outlivsd all her sisters
and brothers. She wns the mother OF eight
children, two sons and six daughters. One
son and three daughters survive her. She had
fourteen grandchildren, twelve of whom sur

Her husband. Thomas Wilbur Manchc, ter,

Allen, wio was for many years employed by
the city in the lamp department, commenc-
ing under Major Bridgham, the first mayor OF
Providence.
Mr.. Allen died twenty-five years ago. Mrs.
Allen was beloved aud esteemed by all who
knew her. She was ever ready TO assist any
one who was moro unfortunate than hers elf,
ever ready and willing t. share her last crust
with any one In distress. During the last few
years Of MIR. Aliens life and for twelve years
after his demise she lived in her oottage 30
Wilson street. That she might have better

Thursday night she expressed a wish to be
raised higher on har pillow, and when her
wishes had been complied with she settled
down quietly, and with no evidence of a
Struggle "she passed over the last river"

PETROLEUM BonBs.

The talk in Spanish circles that
lhe Yankee gunners used petro-
leum bombs in the bombardment
OF Manila is doubtless inspired
by the reports of the accuracy OF
the fire and the terribly destruc-
tive effects on the ships and forts,
that defended the place.
OF course, no civilized nation
would think of using petroleum
bombs in battle. Indeed, it is to be
doubted if even barbaric power
would resort to these terrible mis-
siles, unless desperately pushed.
The idea is abhorrent to every
sense of mercy and honorable war
fare. Admiral revey may, indeed,
have loaded some OF his guns with
condensed electricity or, from that
fearful instrument Of destruction
the marine syringe, he may have
squirted lighted kerosene over the
forts. the houses and the unfortu-
nate inhabitants. Perhaps, even,
he discharged wet yeast cakes
from his 8-inch guns, into the en-
emy's ships theexplosions of which
may thus seem to be accounted
for. But the report of those petro-
leum bombs is not to be credited
without more definite information.

1t seems highly probable that
when the Spanish masses &c,

The way Dewey entered the
harbor OF Manila to do his fighting,
despite the mines and torpedoes,
seerls to indicate that Spanish
mine isn't made to work unless in
time of peace when the ship of a
friendly power may be induced to
anchor right over it for day OF
two, to give it time.

The news from the Philippines
indicates that, after all, the pro-
fession of the sailor knows no dis
tinction of race. The Spanish
Jackies went down with their ships
as sailors are bound to do, and as
their Anglo-Saxon brothers on
many sea have done. When
Death comes to a sailor OH the
staggering deck he is bound to be
welcomed with a cheer.

There is nothing now to ask for
except that the list of casualties
suffered by the American ships be

doubtless be enough sad news,
though, when the reports of the

If the Spanish government
accepts the advice to arm priva-
teer; for preying on the American
merchant marine, the American
government, which has pledged
itself to do no privateering, will
doubtless be moved to treat this
kind of warfare as piracy straight
and simple with the consequent
hanging of the pirates captured.

Electric Darkness.

The costly electric light system
created another expensive eclipse Of
light last evening on one of its cir
cults. Unfortunately among other
places greatly Inconvenience by
these freaks OF high heavens illum-
inator was once again the Waverley
Club.
The experiences of this club with
the electric light system has been so
disastrously unfortunate that its
officers are bordering over the wis
dom Of having adopted it.
In the FIRST place the clubs cleo
trio light bills for the past three
months have shown such peculiar
arithmetical progression under con-
Trajectory circumstances that the
committee Of management are un.
able to calculate their average
monthly expenses.
In January the bill was $5; in
February, 5000, and in March
$499 5,
la the last mentioned month,
three important committee meetings
were broken up for want OF lights;
on two Sunday evenings and on sew
eral week days the hall was useless
for the same reason, but the meter
still went on registering with true
p, G.. patriotic zeal.
As April has already claimed for
its record OF disasters a concert
marred by the lights going out
twice, and another Sunday evening
in darkness, the treasurer anticipates
bill for something like $3.50 for
this month for light mot" furnished.
On the other hand the Finance and
Judiciary Committees are OF the
opinion (not yet formally expressed)
that tho company is responsible to
the club in heavy damages, and that
some kind of amcable arrangement
had better be made by which the
Electric Light Company will supply
its consumers with a new gas plant
to go on duty when the company
cannot carry out it's contracts to
supply light for which they make
such costly and ever increasing
charges.

audience which were delighted with

been obliged to eliminate from her
