Senate Will Ratify,

The President and the Republican lead
ers in the Senate are not worried over
the threats of the opposition to the peace
treaty. 1t is believed by the Administra-
ton that the prompt ratification of the
treaty will be had and that it will be
ratified before March. so that there will
be no necessity for an extra session on
this account. \ poll of the Senate taken
by the Administration shows that the
peace treaty Will secure the necessary
votes for ratification, and if a poll of
Washington would be taken as to the ia
vorite beer of the people Heurich's Maer-
zen, Senate, Extra Pale and Lager would
lead all others. Heurichs is recognized
as the standard beer, and it is called for
and drank by everybody. If you wish a

The Rev. p. P. Arnd of Port De-

eating through the snow last Sunday
week. He writes to friend in this
city as follows

turned back. Hardly had / taken a
bite at home and felt comfortable when

DELIGHTED IN MISCHIEF.


Two Men Force the Doors OF Grace Church,
Brandywine Hundred Three Other Places
Visited. ~ '3s't riYf
Two men in u buggy went on tour
of malicious mischief in Brandywine
hundred early on Saturday morning.
They first visited Grace Protestant
Episcopal Church, forcing the doors
and breaking down a lamp in the
yard. Nothing was disturbed within
the church. as they drove from the
ward, they were dimly seen by Mrs.
Miller, who lives in the rectory.
When near Talleyville, they stoned
the house occupied by John Hempton,
harness maker, breaking numerous
windows but hurting no one. Sharp
ley's Schoolhouse was visited, the pump
split open and its handle broken. An
attempt to force the doors was unsuc-
cessful. The men next vented their
maliciousness ON blacksmith shop
owned by George Dennison. Panes Of
glass were broken and sashes de-
molished and the doors were forced.
In no case was anything stolen.
The wanton acts aroused much in
dignation in the neighborhoods where
they were perpetrated, and the mis-
creants might have been handled
roughly it they had been captured.

The Philadelphia Times Of Tuesday
morning gives an interesting account
of an expose of Mrs Christians B.
Bliss, an alleged spiritualistic medium,
who was yesterday held Under bail in
81, 600 for trial on a charge of obtain
ing money by false pretences.
Mrs. Bliss was exposed through the
agency Of a Times reporter, aided by q
young woman of this city, who made
all the preliminary arrangements. She
conferred with the medium relative to
communicating with the spirit of her
deceased grandfather, and was given
the desired Communication at q
seance held last Thursday night, at
No. BOAT Master street, Philadelphia.
The medium entered her cabinet and
gave several manifestations Then came
the time for the communication with
the young woman's deceased grand

darkened room could be seen the form

same time grasping the spirit firmly
by the wrists. Then the reporter
flashed light and the humbug was
exposed.
There was commotion among the
| faithful friends of the medium, and in
the struggle that ensued the young
woman was forced to the door, the re-
porter following to protect her. This
delayed the police arrangements, but
when the officers arrived Mrs. Bliss
was found in an upper room. She wa:
in male attire, wearing the clothes il
which the spirit of grandfather" hat
appeared, bnt the whiskers were
missing. She was at once taken ir
charge, with three of her accomplices
The expose was complete.
The young woman who thus SO abl,
assisted the Times reporter was Mis-

medium essayed to materialize was thu

STR UCk BY A TRAIN.
Michael Jordan Injured Near the Works of
the Pullman Co. t-


Yesterday week as the New York
and Washington southbound express OH
the p, w. & B. railroad was passing
the works of the Pullman Co. the pilot
of the engine struck Michael Jordan,
aged 80 years, of Third and Monroe
streets, severely injuring him about
the back and side and fracturing his
left leg.
Jordan is employed in the shops of
the Pullman Co. as a car watchman
and was going from the works to his
home, in company with Hugh Carlin.
The men had taken the southbound
tracks of the railroad and had pro-
ceeded but short distance when the
train bore down upon them. Carlir
had presence of mind enough to step
out of the way, but Jordan became be-
wildered. He seemed unable to jump
out of the way OF the engine and
stepped upon the outside of the cross
ties when the engine struck him and
threw him with great force to one side.
The engine was stopped and he was
placed aboard the car and taken to the
hospital at French street station. DIR.
Draper was summoned. but on account
of the sutferings of the man it was
deemed advisable to take him AT onoe
! TO the Delaware Hospital.

San Francisco. July :.

San Francisco. July Z.
The most important news to us this
morning is that contained in the
morning papers concerning the fifth
expedition. We have been son the
next" for six weeks, but no official
statement has ever been published
stating us for any particular expedi-
tion. l clip the following from the
Gail this morning which Is self
explanatory:
The fifth expedition to Manila will
sail from San Francisco between the
18th and Goth of this month, and will
consist of four transports, under the
command of Brigadier General
Marcus =. Miller Major General Otis
will in all probability accompany the
expedition. The troops that will com
pose the fifth expedition are: The
First New York yet to arrive).
Twentieth Kansas, First Montana,
Third Battallons of the Eighteenth
and Twenty-third United States
Infantry, and another regiment yet to
be selected.
There isn't much to be added to this
except to say that if the above is true,
1t will not be earlier than the latter
part of the month or perhaps the lst
of August before it is possible to get
transports ready. The papers
also state that the 1000 troops sup
posed to leave next will "eamp" In
mid ocean to await the fifth expedi-
ton and will be picket up. All our
boys have given up the idea of stay
ing here now, and feel gayer than
jay rabbits.
