Prepared By Bishop Williams, Appro-
 priate to the Time of War.
 The following prayer prepared by Bishop Williams for use in the Episco- pal churches of the diocese is especial ly appropriate in a time of war:
 PRAYER.
 o Almighty God, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy, look with mercy, we beseech Thee, upon the people of our land in this time of war. Pardon our offences and save us from all pride, hardness of heart, and from every evil way.
 Keep, o Lord, under Thy protection those who are in peril by land or sea. Remember the prisoners, relieve the sick and wounded. bless and support the dying. Give strength to those who minister in hospital or camp; and com- fort all those who are in anxiety or sor- row.
 Help us, we pray Thee, to establish liberty and justice, and hasten the day when all nations shall dwell together in peace, to the glory of Thy Holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A HAPPY CROWD.

Last evening about o'clock an ice cream freezer partially full of that de-
 licious refreshment was placed in front of Malley, Nicely & Cos store by one of the clerks. A couple of newsboys saw it and on investigation found the cream. They proceeded to gorge them selves and called in several of their comrades to assist them. In few minutes a crowd of boys and girls was around the freezer thicker than flies on sugar barrel They had a royal feast and many of them grabbed a handful with their dirty brown hands, put it on a piece of paper, edged his or her way out of the crowd and went down the street munching the cream in the greatest glee. A large number of pedestrians were attracted by the happiness apparent on the faces of all.

A PLUCKY VOTING STEER

A horse attached to light buggy be- longing to Allen, the butter man, and driven by a small elght-year-old boy, became frightened at an electric car at the corner of State and Chapel streets yesterday noon and started to run south on State street The lad pluck fly held onto the lines, but his efforts would have been useless had not a horse attached to delivery wagon of Sulzberger Brothers, coming down Chapel street caught it's fore foot in the wheel of the buggy. This stopped the progress of the first horse and it was caught by several bystanders. No one was injured. The lad jumped out of the wagon and was apparently not even frightened. The horse attached to Sulzberger's wagon will probably feel the effects of the strain 1t received for several days.

 Judge Roraback stated that he fully agreed with the verdict of the jury. He said that he thought that if there was the two prisoners Mrs. Hills was the guiltier one. He said that there were some extenuating circumstances, and consequently he would not impose the Full sentence. He then pronounced the

sentence of three years each in state prison.
 When the sentence was pronounced Mrs, Hills sat perfectly rigid, not nov ing muscle. For some moments at- forwards she seemed dazed, but when the sheriff came to lead her from the court room preparatory to taking her to the jail she suddenly jumped up and began to scream and utter terrible curses against the judge and jury Every one of those twelve men was bought" she screamed. May the Eter- nal One curse them all, They have killed my baby and now they are kill ing me! May God strike them dead! Thus yelling and shrieking, tearing her hair and struggling with the sheritt ana his deputy, she was partly carried ana partly dragged to a side room, where efforts were made to quiet her, put to no avail. First she would pray at the top of her voice, then call down most awful curses on the jurymen and the judge who had sentenced her. The scene was terrible and all attempts to quiet the hysterical woman were in vain.
 Finally a carriage was called and she was carried into it, and with three dep uty sfGriffs in charge she was driven to the jail During the first part of the ride she screamed, tore her hair, struck at the deputies and tried to get away, but gradually she quieted down and by the time the jail was reached she had about relapsed Into normal condition. Last night she was resting quietly at the jail, evidently having made up her mind to accept the inevitable without further protest. Her husband appeared very nervous after she began her
 shrieking, and it was thought that he would break down, but he controlled

himself and was taken to jail without creating a scene.
 MT and Mrs. Hills were charged with assault with intent to kill upon a F'renchman named Nihron. All the parties to the case live in Cheshire. The Hills few years ago purchased a twenty -flve-acre piece of land in Chesh- ire,a right of way through the land be- ing reserved for the use of man nam ed Higgins, who owned land in the rear of the piece bought by the Hills. The latter objected strongly against Hig- gins and his hired men using this right of way, and several wordy clashes had occurred between the Hills and the men using the right of way, Nothing seri- ous had occurred until one day not long ago some of Higgins hired men, among them Nihron, were sent to the back property of Higgins to, do some work. When they arrived at the en- trance of the right of way they found Hills and his wife there he armed with a double -barrelled breech-loading shot gun and she with. revolver to dispute the passage.
 Nihron went up and opened the gate and then the Hills began firing at him. Hills fired his shotgun and Mrs. Hills fired three shots from the revolver one charge of shot and one revolver shot taking effect. It was for this affair that the Hills were arrested, tried and yesterday sentenced to three years in state prison.

The Ardlamont murder mystery was the chief court sensation in England in the year 1893 and presented some re- markable features. Alfred Monson, who is about thirty-eight years of age, was at one time a favorite in London so- ciety. He is the grandson of the Hon. and Rev. Thomas Monson. He graduat- the second Lord Monson. He graduat- ed at Oxford and eventually became a tutor to Cecil Hambrough, a wealthy young man, but whose wife was insur- ed for $1OO,0O0 in Mrs. Monson's favor, as security to a debt due to her hus- band. Monson and Hambrough leased i shooting box at ArdIamont, Scotland, and shortly after their arrival at Ard lamont in August, 1893, Hambrough went out in boat with Monson and from some inexplicable cause the boat sank, but its occupants got safely ashore. The next morning Hambrough went out rabbit shooting and lost his life by receiving a charge of shot in his head. Monson was arrested and the trial, one of the most sensational on record, lasted ten days in Edinburgh and resulted in the Scotch verdict of mot proven"

docs not answer"
'In the first place." said the commits
sioner, I'VE had asked who had been in

only answer vouchsafed is that General
Lee selected the camp at jacksonville. |
do not think any other camp is mention
ed. But this omission will be remedicd
in the supplemented report for which we
will call on the secretary"
Secretary Ayers answer contains
about 5000 words on the selection of Tam.
pa as a point of embarkation. Rear Adj
miIal Simpsons dispatch as to the cause
of Fastening troops to Santiago. Commo-
dore Remey's dispatch As to the cause of
the delay of troops. The discussion of
these topics exhausts the report.
No attempt seems to have been made
to ascertain the cause of the hardships
suffered by soldiers in Tampa. The mat.
ter is brushed aside with apparent con
tempt in the relation that Tampa was
considered good location and the most
convenient point of embarkation. Sec
rotary Alger will be asked for a fuller
answer.
The program of the commission for this
week is TO have no witnesses except those
who may be caught passing through
