TN E TRUE EAaAs.

We append below letter from Gen.
Eagan addressed to prominent citi-
zen of New York, who complained US
long ago as July last of the way the
Commissary Department was doing
its duty. The letter was, we under
stand, in tho possession of the Judge
Advocate at Eagan's trial, but was not
included in the specifications, as it
ought to have been. To answer COM
plants of respectable persons with
threats of personal violence would and
ought to disaualify man to hold a
commission, in any army in the
world. That this letter was not pro-
duced at the trial is generally believed,
by those who know of its existence, to
have been due to desire on the part
of the prosecution to give weight to
the plea that tho production of u type
written document of several pages of
scurrilous abuse OF mans command
ing officer was the result of temporary
and not uniustifiable irritation. This
plea will not, doubtless, also be used
to support the "pull" which the public
generally believes is coming to relieve
Eagan from the execution of his SEN
tence, and, in fact, from all real
punishment. Here is the letter:

Berlin, Prussia, Fob. 4.-Emperor
William, speaking at the annual ban
quot last night of the Brandenburg
Diet, said
"The Hohenzollerns have always con-
sidered themselves responsible to God

of responsibility to the people has also
been inherited by every Hohenzollern.

The emperor recalled Marshal Won

after the Franco German war: Nov
is the time to see the tree grow" and
said:
II will be good gardener to the
tree of the German Empire, looping
off the branches which impede its
growth and extirpating obnoxious root
gnawers. "
Emperor William then alluded to the
universal efforts being made to main
tain peace, and declared that Germany
"must stand united, like bronze
rock, against any attempt TO disturb
peace. Z" He added:
''Peace must be preserved at home
and abroad, and the people of the
mark of Brandenburg, above all, must
lend me their help to do so.
He concluded with calling for cheers
for the mark OF Brandenburg and its
inhabitants.

cBSrEsARIAN PASSES AWAY.
Mrs. Ann Taylor, Whose Father Fought
Under Washington.

Mrs. Ann Taylor, who died Sunday
week, in her 102d year, at No. 1919
South Fourth street, Philadelphia, was
native of Camden, this State. Her
father, Jacob Ludwick, native of
Germany, who left his native land to
seek his fortune in the colonies, served
during the Revolutionary War under
Washington. Her mother was one of
the Goodwin family, of which the late
Samuel Paynter Goodwin was de-
scendant. So great had become her
fathers attachment to his adopted land
that he would not permit his children
to learn the German language; In fact,
would not permit his many German
friends to speak any but the English
language in the presence Of his chill
dren, and the children had a distinct
recollection of stealing out of bed and
listening to their father talking to his
friends in his native tongue after he
had supposed they had retired. After
her fathers death, which occurred
when she was about ID years Of age,
the family moved to Georgetown, and
many interesting stories did she have
TO tell of her life there.
In 1925 she married Henry Taylor, a
native of Maryland, who, having
learned his trade as carriage builder
at Georgetown, moved to Milford,
where he formed the partnership Of
Taylor &c Sharp, carriage manu-
facturers. Her husband had previously
enlisted in one of the Maryland regi-
ments, and was one of the defenders of
the city of Baltimore during tho war
of 1872 About 10 years ago Mrs.
Taylor applied for and received o
pension from tho government as a
widow of soldier of the war of 1872.
She was fond Of repeating incidents
of her early life; how her husband, as
n member Of the Delaware Legislature,
voted to permit the first railroad to
enter that State. Her impressions when
she first saw a locomotive, the first
steamboat, and her first use of matches.
Some 40 years ago, she moved to Phila-
delphia, and resided for many years on
Prime street, below Front. Here,
opposite to the entrance of the old
Navy Yard, and almost Immediately
back of the Cooper Shop restaurant,
she found considerable to occupy her
attention during the entire period of
the Civil War.
She was the oldest member of
Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Church,
anu ltI lhlho Woo okpiCo W I'LL
of prominent events connected with the
history of that church. She always took
an active interest in the political events
of the day, and even in the present
mayoralty contest, one of the promi-
nent candidates being son of friend
of her early days, her interest seemed
undated, and she insisted that the
political situation be explained to her.
hrs. Taylor was twin, her brother,
James Ludwick, living to be SO years
of age When sc he was heard to say
that he had never suffered oven from
headache.
Mrs. Taylor retained her faculties,
except her sight, until the very last
On the morning Of her death she told
her daughter that she realized she was
going to die; that she had lived her
allotted time, and was ready and
willing to go.
She is survived by three children,
two sons and daughter, seven grand
children and five great-grandchildren.

RENT PURCHASE SOCIETY.

Its shareholders Have Merged with the
National Lonn Association OF Delaware.
The shareholders in the Wilmington
Rent Purchase Society have turned
over their money to the National
Building, Lonn and Provident Asso-
citation, Delaware corporation, with
it's main office in this city, and will
not dabhle ip the large promises OF the
American Investors Co. of New York.
The Wilmington people held something
like 1900 shares in tho rent purchase
scheme and had paid over about 50 500,
but hero is the fortunate part for
them The money had never left the
city, hut was being held here pending
tho giving of a guarantee bond by the
New York company. D.
This bond was to save the share
holders from any loss by bad invest
rpent or otherwise, but 1T was not
Forthcoming. So the Wilmington Office,
which was in charge of Charles F..
Thomas, who had secured tho sub
scribers still kept the money that had
been paid in. Z.
h Finally it was decided not to 70
ahead with the New York scheme. The
result might have been the refunding
Of the money and the loss to MIR.
Thomas o.. the several months' labor
which he had devoted to the organiza-
tion. Then the suggestion was made
that the shareholders be recapvassed
and asked If they would transfer their
money into the National Association, a
home corporation. This association did
not deal therefore with, the rent pur-
chase society as such, but with the
Individuals. Il.
The association offered Mr.. Thomas
an outlet for his labor. He adopted
the suggestion Of seeing the share
holders and they were generally willing
to. take stock in the National. The
arrangements have been finally made.
The association placed at the disposal
Of the new shareholders three positions

comprises Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr.,

LOSSES WILL AGGREGATE $4,000

Philadelphia, Pc, Feb. IA fire
which started shortly after O'Clock
this morning destroyed two large
blocks of buildings, devoted to manu-
featuring purposes. fronting on Thir-
teenth street and extending from
Willow to Hamilton streets, and from
the latter to Buttonwood street. Tho
losses are divided among eight or ten
firms, and aggregate about $3.50, COO.
The fire originated in the establish
ment of w. S. Cooper, manufacturer
Of gas machines, plumbers supplies,
&C., and in a comparatively short time
this building was complete loss, with
the walls leveled to the ground.
The firomen worked with great diff
Guilty, owing to the fact that the street
was torn up and had been excavated
several feot below the sidewalk, altera-
tions in the grade being necessitated
by tho construction of the new subway
for tho Reading railroad through this
section of tho city.
Five alarms were sounded and % fire
companies were soon at work. Tho
flames quickly spread from the Cooper
building to the big six-story building
of the Stewart cracker works, which,
in addition to the cracker company,
was occupied by several other firms.
A building on the other side of the
Cooper establishment was also Quilted,
and the extensive bolt and nut works
of Hopes & Townsend, which extended
over the entire rear of all the burned
buildings, sustained serious damage.
The losses. which are partially covered
by insurance, are estimated as follows
W. S. Cooper, brass founder and
manufacturer of plumbers supplies
and gas machines, on building,
800, 600; machinery and stock, $50, 600.

San Francisco, CAL, Feb. 3.-De-
tails of the loss of the British steamer

ran on wreck about 20 or 30 miles
from Hongkong, on December 10th,
and sank shortly after. Chief Officer
Dixon, Quartermaster Smith, Second
Steward Wilson and two Chinese fire.
men persisted.
Capt. Pithie was on the bridge when
the ship struck, and finding that she
was rapidly filling, turned toward land
with the object of Bleaching her, but
this he was prevented from doing by
the vessel going down head first about
an hour after she had struck.
In the meantime boats had been
lowered and filled until three only re-
manned on the vessel. Capt. Pithie,
Chief Officer Dixon, Quartermaster
Smith, Second Engineer Boyd and
Second Steward Wilson, when they
saw that the vessel was doomed,
jumped overheard. Second Steward
Wilson and Chief Officer Dixon swan
for the boats, but the others made
straight for the land, which was about
mile and half away. After ter
rible struggle they succeeded in reach
ing it. Quartermaster Smith was,
however, SO exhausted that he died.
All the boats were picked up and the
passengers and Grew cared for. The
body Of Chief Officer Dixon, who
jumped overheard as the steamer sank
was picked up two days later on Lint
ing Island, it having been washed
ashore. What became of Steward
Wilson and the Chinese is not known,
but they are believed to be lost. The
Glenavon was owned by MacGregor,

ANOTHER NEW INDEX JOB.
Recorder ~ Deeds Ciarh Wants Share in
the Work That His Predecessors Found
So Profitable.


Recorder .: Deeds Clark Wants Share in
the Work That His Predecessors Found
So Profitable.
Recorder of Deeds Delaware Clark is
authorized to take hand in the new
index business, in an act which has
been sent to Dover and is entitled San
act to authorize the Recorder of Deeds
of New Castle County to Make Ger
tain induces. +" The preamble recites
that the late recorder, CORTLAND @.
MONTGOMERY, had prepared induces for
the period from 1874 to January LIST,
1897, and it was dosirous to continue
the system and to use it in connection
with the current business of the office,
and that the deeds recorded from day
TO day shall be so indexed at once,
according to the Campbell system. The
act alleges that considerable money
will thus be saved, the great expense
incurred in preparing them from time
to time being no longer necessary.
The first section of the act authorizes
and requires. the recorder to make or
cause to DO made copy of the induces
to deeds after December 3lst, 1896,
and prior to the date of the passage of
the act, and to continue the induces
after the date of the passage of the act
in lien of those in use in tho office at
that time.
Section 2 names Frank L. Speak
man as one Of, two commissioners, the
other to be supplied, to examine and
certify the indices when they are conn.,
pleted, and section 3 directs the Levy
Court to pay the commissioners and
recorder Just and reasonable COM
pensation for their services, the amount
to be fixed by the Superior Court.
Recorder Clark says that new books
will be needed at any rate and that the
books should be brought up to date
and then continued by the regular
force from day to day.
