PARIS NOT GIVEN UP.
Work of Blasting the Rocks That Hold
The Big ship Goes On.


LONDON, July 10.-Two months Of
exposure on the Cornish rocks has
given the Paris the appearance of a
derelict of years standing. Captain
Watkins, the officers and 30 of the
crew remain on board night and day,
hoping against hope. The life is ex-
ceeding tedious, but there is no dan
ger in fine weather and little even
when an east wind dashes the big
waves against her sides. The coast
guards are then on the alert and ready
with the rocket apparatus in case Of
danger.
Pilots are regularly aboard ready to
steer the Paris into the harbor when
she is freed. but the divers have a slow
and dangerous task. The rocks which
hold the big ship are being carefully
blasted and hundreds of tons have
already been blown up to enable the
divers to reach the main injuries be-
meath the boilers and engine rooms.
Tons of rocks are being placed in the
ships stern in order to tilt up her bows
in readiness for the next high tide
when the tugs will again attempt to
release her.

MAY BE INSANE.
A Murderer Who Had No Apparent Mo-
tive For His Crime.

SCRANTON, Pa, July Full de-
tails from the murder at Simpson fail
to disclose any immediate cause for
Hennesey's killing of his bride of two
months, and the supposition follows
that it was an insane act.
They had had frequent chickering's
since the first week of their marriage,
but were not by any means on terms of
enmity. When the fatal shot was fired
Mrs. Hennesey and her mother, who
was her guest over the Fourth Of july
were looking for Hennesey to Join them
in a stroll. He drew a revolver from
his pocket as he came up with them,
and without a word sent a bullet
through his wife's head. The ball en-
tered the eye and she dropped dead.
The mother swooned and the murderer,
leaving the two women lying on the
roadside, fled to Carbondale. where he
gave himself up.

WAR MAY YET TAKE PLACE.
Great britain Is Not Satisfied With the
Concessions In the Transvaal.

LONDON, July 10. - 1t is an un-
doubted fact that the war Office Is
making some rather important prepa-
rations in South Africa that tend to
offset partly the weeks Improvement
in the diplomatic relation with the
Transvaal There is a somewhat un-
favorable significance also in the fact
that Boer opinion continues to incline
toward the probability of eventual hos
tilities. Inasmuch as the Beers have
the making of the situation in their
own hands as the case now stands their
pesslmism means more than would a
similar feeling on the other side. The
English press utterances on the situa-
ton are of no value and most of them
are open to serious suspicion.
1t is common error to suppose that
all the outstanding difficulties will be
solved by granting a modified fran
chise to the Uitlanders. There are a
number of comparatively minor mat
ters which Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain intends to have cleared up.
Moreover, Re is understood to be dis
posed to press the Boer government
for guarantees that the franchise, once
given to the Uitlanders, will not be
taken away or stuffed by later leg
islation. In this connection it is i'm
portant to remember that the volks-
raad claims supreme control over all
the laws and has on more than one
occasion enforced that claim.
A dispatch from johannesburg to the
Central News says that the volksraad
by an overwhelming majority agreed to
an extension of the franchise and au-
thorized the appointment of five men,
bers to discuss Win the government the
drafting of a new franchise law. This
dispatch comes from an essentially
Rhodeste authority.
A dispatch from Rome says that the
German steamer Reichstag sailed from
Naples on July 1 with $1,000 rifles, 800
tons of war material and 200 mules for
the Transvaal
A dispatch from Pretoria to a local
news agency says that the new fran
chise scheme agreed to by the lower
house of the volksraad will be submit
ted to the upper house this week.
The bill grants the franchise to all
persons who are naturaliZed at the
time of the passage of the act or have
resided in the country five years. Fu-
ture newcomers will be enfranchlsed
after seven years residence, with op-
tional naturalization. Children cf
aliens born in the Transvaal will be en-
franchised upon reaching the age of 2l
yaorS

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 8.-Charles
Jeffries, a wealthy resident of Ger
mantown, died recently and in his will
he divided his estate, valued at $780,
900, among the children of his brothers
and sisters Among the heirs are Sus-
anna and Sarah Jeffries, who are be-
ing educated at the Soldiers Orphan
school at Chester Springs. Their share
of Jeffries' estate is $4,000, which will
be placed in the care of a guardian
until they are of age.
Their father was Joseph c. Jeffries,
who served three terms of enlistment
in the Union army In the Seventeenth
Pennsylvania, three months men, the
Third Pennsylvania cavalry and the
Seventy seventh Pennsylvania infant
~ until the close of the war, when he
settled in Steelton, where he died
in 1892. The mother then removed to
Harrisburg with her two daughters
and two sons. In time the sons were
sent to Girard college and year ago
the two girls were secured admission
into the Chester Springs school.

HOPES FOR SPANISH PRISONERS.
The Last Spanish Garrison In the Phil
ippiDes Finally Surrenders.

ippiDes Finally Surrenders.
MANILA, July THE Spanish COM
missioners who went to Tarlac for a
conference with Aguinaldo regarding
the surrender of the Spanish prisoners
in the hands of the Filipinos have just
returned. Chairman Del Rio of the
commission said the release of all the
prisoners had been practically arranged
for, but it would be necessary to consult
the Spanish government before the
agreement could be ratified. He de-
clined to give the terms of the arrange
ment or to say whether these con-
templated ransom. He asserted, how
ever, that Aguinaldo has already is
sued a decree for the release of the
civilians, officials and the sick soldiers.
The commissioners, with the remnant
of the Spanish garrison of Baler, on
the coast of LuZen, and number of
civilian prisoners were escorted by Fill
ipino soldiers from Tarlac to the Amer
ican outposts at San Fernando and
came to Manila by the night train.
The heroes of the long defense of Ba-
ler where the Spanish soldiers re-
sisted an lnSuTBeIll Siege IOT IuOTe IMAM
a year, formed a picturesque band.
Lieutenant. Martin, the only surviving
officer, marched through the streets.
There are only 90 and most of them are
mere boys, in faded blue cotton uni
forms and red shirts. They are bare
footed. A crowd of Spanish men and
women embraced them, weeping and
shouting their praises.
They tell a remarkable story. 1t ap-
pears that the captain several times
proposed to surrender, but the soldiers
refused. Finally some months ago, he
tried to raise white flag. Thereupon
Lieutenant Martin killed him with his
own sword.
Their food supply gave out entirely
a week ago, and they surrendered to
the Filipinos with all the honors of war.
They were allowed to keep their arms
and they marched from Baler, with
a Filipino escort and carrying guns,
through several insurgent camps,
everywhere being cheered and feted.

coroner's jury investigating the case
of the man whose body, minus the
head, was found in a bag in the Sus-
quehanna river, returned verdict that
the deceased came to his death from
causes unknown, and that the body had
been placed by some persons unknown
where it was found.
DR.. Edwards, who performed the
postmortem examination, testified that
both thigh bones were severed with a
saw to enable the doubling Of the legs
over the body. There were incisions on
the back and front of the body, as well
as incisiOns in the arms AMI legs, ex.
posing the muscles and arteries, SINH

not the slightest clue as to who the
dead man is, or whether he died from
