Captain Richard b. Reading is en-
titled to good deal Of praise for the
success Of the Second Regiment rifle
team in the Columbia trophy match.
The Captain is an expert shot him
self and thoroughly acquainted with
all the conditions necessary to bulls
eye hitting.
He was at the heels of the members
OF the team from morning till night
coaching them and insisting that they
get plenty of rest and shoot with de-
liberation
1t is to the credit OF the mon that
they took lively interest in the con-
test and followed the suggestions of
the Captain willingly and faithfully.
They lost the New Jersey National
Guard match by only seven points.
Both the matches were shot under
the most trying circumstances. The
firing line was crowded with riflemen
whose guns were continually cracking
and most exasperating wind swept
across the range with force sufficient
to stagger the marksman and influence
the course Of his bullet.
Taking these conditions in con-
nection with the fact irnt'rtre-rrr-rnrvrs
Of the Second Regiment team have no
practice excepting that which they get
once year on the range at Sea Girt,
one must admi, that the scores made
by them were remarkably good.
RThe Captain has the material in his
team Tor crack combination. Give
them the practice that the Georgia and
District Of Columbia riHemen have and
they would make il exceedingly warm
foi them IN the contests next year

The men we're located in cell No. 80,
on the easterly side of the upper corri-
dor, and the preparations for escape
had been made since Tuesday last, ,at
which time the walls and ceiling OF the
cell were thoroughly inspected Hby
Wardens Bowers and Paris.
| Warden Bowers had been suspicious
that all was not right in the cell and
yesterday kept close watch. In the
| early part of the afternoon he made an
inspection Of the ventilator pipe, which
leads from the cellar, and found il
filled with mortar. He was ACCOM-
panied by Warden Paris, and together
they went to the cell, There they saw
a paper fastened over holein the cell
ing, The men were taken from the
cell and an examination showed thai
the hole was large enough for a mar
to crawl out of and that nothing re
NAMED to cut but the tin to complete
the work and give the inmates free

An examination of the cell showed
that the work had been done by means
of a small cold chisel and hammer

AN EXCITING FIRE.

Damage to Four Properties on E'ghtn'
RirIswood aud spruce streets This Morn
Ing.
The explosion OF an oil stove at the
residence of Josiah Cook, In the rear
of Harry L. Gray's grocery store, at
the southwest corner of Eighth and |
Spruce streets, about 10 O'Clock Friday
morning, wrecked the back building OF
that house aud badly damaged the
kitchen of Milton Keene's residence,
Mt tho southeast corner OF Eighth and
Kirkwood streets, and Councilman
elect Jonathan Groves residence, No.
720 Kirkwood street, and charred the
outhuildings in the yards of the resi-
dences of Messrs. keene and Groves
and Colson Richardson, No. M Spruce
street. The GREATEST damage was done
at the Cook house, the building de-
stroyed being worth about 5000, upon
which there is insurance. The damage
to the Keene and Groves houses is esti-
mated at S100,at each place, while Mr..
Richardson's loss is not more than $50.
Nobody was burned, but Mrs. Cook
had a narrow escape. The COOK mouse
is owned by John Cook.
When the stove exploded Mrs. Josiah
Cook was cooking cherries, and when
| flames shot up from the stove she and
Ada jefferson, who was assisting her,
attempted to extinguish the blaze, but
| to no purpose. The oil from the stove
was scattered about and in an incredi-
| bly, short space of time the whole room,
which was occupied as n milk depot
| and place for summer cooking, was
on fire. Mrs. Cook and the Jefferson
woman then reiterated, finding they
could do nothing. Neighbors ran to
their assistance and did what they
could to save the main portion of the
house. In the meantime Mrs. Alexan-
dor Ward of No. ia Kirkwood street
and several others saw the blaze and
spread the alarm.
The district fire companies were sum
moned from box No. lis at Eighth and
Lombard streets, and the firemen were
soon on the scene and had the fire
under control in short order. 1t is due
to their excellent work that at least
two dwellings and probably more are
not in ruins They confined the flame;
to the frame buildings between the
brick portions of the houses, and D,
. tearing away the boards subdued tint
blaze very quickly. Chief Sasse ant

after the alarm struck and looked afte
the matter personally.
, While the Cook, keene and Grove
, kitchens and fences were burning Mr.

TOOK POWDERED ARSENIC
Suicide Of Mrs. Emma Eusenia Easlburn
at No. SiS Shlpley Street.
SECURED THE POISON SECRETLY
At the Store of Her Husbands
Employer.
is SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN JEALOUS

Mrs. Emma Eugenia Eastburn, about
q, years old, wife of Charles NJ. East
burp, drug clerk, died Mt her resi-
dence, No. s13 SIMPLIFY street, early
Friday morning of arsenical poisoning.
On Tuesday afternoon, impelled, it IS
believed, by jealousy, she had taken,
nccordingt 10 her statement, a teaspoon
full OF powdered arsenic, which bears
the name of arsenious acid, which she
had secured secretly at the drug. store
OF DIR. Frank Roop Smith, Fifth and
King streets. where her husband IS
employed That quantity OF arsenic IS
about 100 times what is considered TO
be the minimum fatal dose, which IS
| two grains. After taking the poisonous
drug, the young woman became ex-
| tremely i'll, and admitted what, she
had done. She was conscious all or
nearly all the time until her death.
Mrs. Eastburn's maiden name was
| Anderson, and her home was formerly
at No. 800 Shallcross avenue. where her
| mother aud brother still reside. she
| and Mr.. Eastburn, who is son Of ex-
Assistant Street Commissioner Amos j..
Eastburn, were married few months
ago, and lived for time at her old
/ home, removing about month ago to
4 No. S13 Shipley street. On Tuesday
Il DIR. Smith, desiring to attend the meet
inc of the Medical Society of Delaware
at Eden Hall, directed Eastburn. who
is a qualified assistant, to remain al
the store through the dinner hour
Eastburn remained and his wife
brought his dinner to him. She hat
been in the habit of dropping in at thu
store and on this occasion saw East
burn talking to young woman. l
seems that this caused quarrel be
tween husband and wife. Mrs. East
burn went behind the prescription
, counter and soon afterwards Eastburl
noticed that she had bottle of arseni
in her hand. He took the bottle fror
, her. From later developments, 1t al
, peared that she had placed some OF tn
/ contents of the bottle in paper, befor
her husband secured the bottle an
: without his knowledge.
t According to her statement made I
q him later, Mrs. Eastburn took tn
poison about O'Clock that Afternoon

A PECULIAR OBSTACLE.
The Row York Dredging Co. Finds itse'i
in N Rather Oaa Prsdicamaut.

The Now York Dredging Co. Finds itse't
in n Rather Oaa Prsdicamaut.
The New York Dredging Co., which
is dredging the Christiana River under
q government contract, has struck
snap in the matter of finding . place
for the dredged material, and only
some action on the part of the Street
and Sewer Department, in the matter
of ACQUIRING portion OF a street. can
afford immediate relief.
G. p. Wychgel, who is superintend-
inc the work here, made application to
the Street and Sewer Department. on
Thursday for permission to lay trunk
under A street, SO that the dredged
material can run under the street and
fiji the lowland between the street and
the river bank. To fill in the lowlands
referred to it will be necessary TO
obliterate a portion of Townsend street
thai is close it against traffic. This
would not be any Inconvenience, how
ever. as A street could be used. The
company has purchased land opposite
POPLAR street from Sabilla McCaulley
and is DESTROYS of filling it and other
land up, SO as to reclaim the lowands
that they may be used for manufacture
ing purposes.
1t is hardly likely that there would
be any objection to readily granting
the request of tho company. were it POI
for the fact that Townsend street canno'
be closed until A street is opened as fal
west as Market and the city does no
own the bed of A street west of Walnut
At Walnut street, however, A stree
Joins Townsend road and the two high
ways are practically one thoronghfare
although the lines are slightly different
The point which causes the troubl
is that the city does not own properrt
connecting the two roads and until
connection is acquired by the city tn
request cannot be granted. 1t Is prob
able that action will be taken lookin
toward acquiring the connecting ROAD
In order that the company may be pei
mitted to carry out its plans, whio
will undoubtedly be of great benefit
the people owning the lowlands.
The company has made extensive pref
! aration for filling in the tract referre
to, by building bikes and making .otht
arrangements, and Mr.. Wycheel We
very much surprised when he ran acroi
the obstacles.

gard Barrow, the principal in the kid
mapping OF Marion Clarke, the infant

was today sentenced to IA years and 10
months Imprisonment.
The trial, which was begun on We'd
nesday, when Bella Anderson, or Carrie
Jones, the tool of Barrow and his wife,
gave her evidence for the State, was
concluded with testimony intended to
establish the previous coed character

was given to the jury with few words
of instruction from the bench.
The jury, after being out about five
minutes, rendered verdict tof guilty,
and sentence was passed as above
stated.
