 Mir Brnker fell from the sixth floor of the hotel. His head struck the bottom of the shaft. He was clad only in his under clothes, and it is believed he went to a window of the shaft to get a breath of fresh air and lost his balance. The the ory of suicide is not entertained by his friends.
 Accompanied by Thomas Doyle, friend from Newark. MT. Brinker went to the hotel about midnight Saturday. The two registered, giving New Orleans as their ad- dress, and were assigned to adjoining rooms. They retired at once and nothing more was seen of MT Brinker until hotel porter found his body

GETTING RID OF MOSQUITOES
Three Effective Modes Kerosene Oil
 Drainage and Small Fish

The mosquito lays eggs in the early morn ing hours in masses of from 200 to 4O0 from each female These are depoisted in still water. Observations have shown that the eggs hatch as soon sixteen hours, and probably sooner. The larvae are extremely active at birth, but they must have air. and in that lies the secret of exterminatfon, To get air they must wriggle their way to the surface of the water in order to breathe After seven or eight days the lar vac transforms to pupa, in which stage the insect is lighter than the water, and remains on the surface without effort.
 ''The fact" said Dr. l.. O. Howard, chief entomologist of the Department of Agri- culture, that the larvae, after they are once below the surface of the water, sink rather than rise, accounts for the death of many n n,,viduaIs. If they become sick or weak, or for any reason are unable to ex- ert sufficient muscular force to wriggie to the surface at frequent intervals. they will actually drown. This fact also explains the efficacy of the remedial treatment which causes the surface of the water to become covered with film of oil O. any kind. Aside from the actual inseetieide of the oil, the larvae drown from not being able to reach the air."
 Generally the adult insect issues from the pupa that is two days old This gives

CHARGE OF MALPRACTICE
When Officers Went to the House Shots Were Fired from Within-Great i Excitement Exists and
 Trouble is Feared i

Gilman, H., August 26.-Michael Ryan, who, with others, accompanied Constable John Mlstead tonight to serve a warrant for malpractice on Dr. Mrs. c. NJ Wright, was fatally shot by an unknown inmate of the Woman's Lying-in Hospital. was a 16-year-old girl named Bessie Salt CT.
 The town is in fever of excftment; a mob surrounds the house of Mrs. Wright with threats to fire it, and the inmates have not yet been arrested
 The death of Bessie Salter occurred Fri day. The body was taken to her home during Friday night and was buried se- cretly in the cemetery Saturday by rela- tives.
 As soon as the facts became known a coroner's jury was summoned and the coroner ordered the body exhumed.
 A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of Dr. Wright and a crowd of men went with the constable to serve 1t. They knocked on the door, got no response and forced their way in. Then some one fired out of the inner darkness. Ryan fell fla tally wounded and the crowd retired, car rying Ryan. As they departed three more shots were fired after them. Dennis Carr was shot in the leg.
 As this dispatch is filed the fire bell is ringing and it is probable that the crowd has fired the hospital

the minimum generation as ten days. The laying of eggs takes place in three or four days after the emergeuce of the adult in- sect. This accounts for the fact that swarms of mosquitoes may develop upon occasion in surface pools of rain water which may. dry up entirely in the course of two weeks, or in chance bucket of water left undisturbed for that length of time
 That mosquitoes can stand cold is shown by the fact that they have been found hi- rernating in cold cellars in Northern cities. They have been observed in cold climates in the midst of snow storms.
 Aside from their fondness for warm blood, mosquitoes have been noticed as having a fondness for molasses, and one was observed drinking beer. @.
 The three main preventive measures ad- vocated for getting rid of mosquitoes are the draining of breeding places, the intro duetion of small fish into fishless breeding places and the treatment of such pools with kerosene oil. Any one of these Is promised to be efficacious by entomolo- gists. The draining of the sswamps and flats of the Potomac about Washington has been observed to largely reduce the number of mosquitoes in that city. Small fish, like carp have been tried in various places, the fish eating the larvae In small Texas town it was found that other food was necessary for the fish, which is
  fly trap to catch flies in their houses These flies are fed to the fish, which thus serve the double purpose of ridding the place of two household pests.
 But the plan of coating saltwater sur faces with kerosene oil is said to be most applicable in Baltimore, where 1t has been tested. A report to the chronological di- vision states:
 Tn many houses in Baltimore the sew age drains into wells sinks in the back yard and thence in some cases into sewers and in other cases Is pumped out period ically The mosquitoes which breed in the staenant contents of these sinks have free egress into the open air back of the houses. Kerosene has been tried, and two treat ments seem to diminish the numbers of the pest in that particular house But with out concerted action of all the household CTS in given block no great amount Of good could be accomplished. With such concerted action, however there seems to be no reason why the mosquito plague could not be greatly diminished in many, if not most, parts of Baltimore at very small expense.
 It has been found that about one ounce of oil suffices for fifteen square feet of water surface, and ordinarily the appli- cation would not be renewed for a month The oil has been used successfully on the surface of tanks of drinking water from which the water was removed by means of pipes at the bottom.

ANOTHER OUTBREAK
 IN NEW YORK CITY
Police Are Kept Busy Through
 out the Day.
DUBLIN 6 DISTURBANCES
John Davis, Negro, Shot and Danger ously Wounded White Messen- ger Boy-Negroes Jumped
 Upon Wherever Found

New York, Aug. 26.-A number of incip- lent race riots broke out here today, the direct cause being the shooting on Sat urday night of John Brennan, white mes senger boy, aged 20, by John Davis. alias "Lamplighter," negro. Brennan was one of a crowd of whites who taunted Davis, and bullets from the blacks revolver lodged in his stomach and chest. He is in a hos pital and likely to die. The shooting was done on Sixty-second street, and becoming noised about, the rough white element be- gan to search out negroes. Before day break this morning James Arnold. colored, while passing Slxty-fourth street and Ann sterdam avenue, was attacked by a crowd of whites and badly beaten He was treat ed at a hospital Shortly afterward, about two blocks away. the gang dealt out a similar experience to Alex Ballentine, ne- gro, who was passing along. In neither case were arrests made.
 At 9:sO o'clock this morning a crowd of whites, led by Frank McPike, "A years of age, went to a five story tenement in Six tieth street occupied by negroes, with the avowed purpose of cleaning it out They had about demolished all the windows and incidentally cracked a head or two when the police aTr1Veu. mc1lke anu auOSAhci man were arrested
 At 1:30 p. m. Joseph Derile, Is years or age filled his hat with stones and took his stand at Fifty-ninth street and Eleventh avenue He succeeded In inhicting scalp wounds on two negroes before policeman clubbed and arrested him.
 Officer John J. Cleary placed under ar rset for being sassy William Hopson, negro. He rashly undertook to take hls prisoner to the station through West Six tieth street That street between rest End and Amsterdam avenues is called s'Cuckoo Row. and here colored people i've by the hundred. The fact that one Of their race was in the hands of a policeman was all that several of them wanted and hah a dozen of them thought they would re- lease Hopson. Cleary used his ciup ana then drew his revolver.
 By threatening to shoot the first man to move he held the mob at bay until other policemen came to his aid They arrested George Meyer, also colored. who, Cleary said, started the attempted rescue. Mey- CT resisted arrest all the way to the sta- tion and when he got there he had several scalp wounds. One in particular, was very large and it is thought the negro's skull was fractured
 William and Henry Rapp. brothers, and white. were arrested and locked up tonight on complaint of Adam Johnson, colored, who claimed they had stoned him.
 The foregoing are only few assaults which came to light by arrests The fact is that all day long the police in the neighborhood mentioned were kept busy dispensing small mobs bent on mischief The consequence is that the force is un- usually alert tonight and prepared to cope with any serious trouble should it break out.

States had invaded Mexico and several im- portant battles had been fought before Congress, to insure the legality of the con- test and to protect the rights of the United States as a probable conqueror declared that state of war had existed from a date fourteen months prior to the action of Congress. Congress did not declare war against Spain. It declared simply that a state of war existed from a specified time.
 European Method Quicker
 Among European nations the method of procedure is simpler, but quite as obvious and the news of such action is published to the world immediately
 Within three hours after the official declaration of Congress that the United States was at war with Spain, the Spanish government had on the wires an identical note to all governments to which it had accredited representatives notifying them of the existence of state of war between Spain and the United States.
 The understanding among Washington officials of Russas action is that the Elm pire has declared the three provinces on its southeastern frontier in a state of siege. This Is altogether different from a declara- tion of war It corresponds to declara- ton of martial law by Great Britain and to a suspension of the right of habeas corpus by the United States It Is su- procession of civil by military authority It has no effect upon such treaties may be in force between the two countries whereas, declaration of war or declara-

The Trickster Tricked

From Golfers Weekly.
 A card sharper who '' evidently been doing the races joined a small group of farm servants in a public house. Failing to interest the company in the mysteries of three-card monte he exclaimed in despera- tion: Well, look here, gents, I'll bet any one of you shillings l can cut the ace of spades any of you to shuffie and arrange a deck of cards as you like" at the same time producing the pack, which he pushed toward a colored victim, who agreed to accept the wager. took up the pack, shuf- fled them, and then placed them on the table.
 The sharper then took his knife and cut his pack clean through at the same time saying: There. I've cut the ace"
 Nav you hain't, neither" quietly said the darkey, grinning. 'The ace O spades is up my sleeve-see?'

 It is pointed out further that Russia has two objects in her military operations in China-the rescue and protection of the foreign legationers and the protection of her menaced frontier.
 In carrying out her second object, Russia has seized New .Chwang. This was done to obtain base of operations from which the frontier could easily be reached, pre- ciseIy as Taku was seized as a base of operations by the allies in their operations against Pekin.

OFFICIALS ARE WRANGLING.
A Farmer Appointed Health Officer OF
Harrison County, and Smallpox
is Spreading.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, Nov. %
The smallpox epidemic here has been
the cause'of much wrangling and bad
feeling among some officials. A few
days ago DR.. Morgan, county health
officer. resigned on account OF the
county court raising the quarantine
on election day ami in giving written
discharges to guards appointed by
him. The court accepted his resigna-
tion and appointed b. b. Stout coun-
ty health officer. Mr.. Stout is an old
citizen and a good farmer, but knows
nothing at all about the practice of
medicine.
Meanwhile the disease is spreading,
but Is confined almost entirely to me-
groes, there being several new cases re-
ported to-day. The town authorities
have established pest house outside
the city limits and all cases are being
removed there.

The Revival Services.

The congregation at the Methodist
Episcopl church last evening, was very
large, filling the upper auditorium.
Mr.. Gee explained the story Of the
rich sensualist and his treatment of
the beggar, Lazarus. He emphasized
the contrast between their respective
conditions in this life and then in the
spirit world. He showed how a life
of intense selfshness, sensualism and
indifference to the poor eliminates
in eternal separation from God, and
how life of faith and usefulness is
sues in heavenly reward. He mani
tested the fact that piety and holiness
of character, when blended even with
penury and want, are more to be de-
sired than wealth, honor and popular
ity when these are united with ire
ligion and Indifference to the souls
deathless interests.
The large choir and pipe organ, are
an inspiration In leading the musical
features OF these interesting meetings.
Professor Friend, Rev. Mr.. Longaneck-
er and Mr.. A. Oliver supplemented
the splendid and impressive discourse
of Mr.. Gee with earnest prayers. At
3 p. M, Mr.. Gee made a strong adj
dress on 1.-THE Baptism OF the Holy
Spirit
Everybody is welcome to the after
noon and evening services daily
The services of last evening were the
most interesting that Mr.. Gee has yet
held in Morgantown.

PARKERSBURG CAPITAL
Now at Work on The Fairmont End OF
Their Proposed Road.

FA1RMoNT, w. Va, Nov 2l.-At
the present time this city is greatly
affected with the street car fever, the
track for the road has been completed
through the main part of the city, but
the pavements are completely torn up
through Fairmont and Locust ayen-
ues. A large force of men are en-
ployed on each of these sections, and
the work is being pushed at rapid
rate. The contractors say they will
have the cars running inside OF two
months. The people of West Fair
mont or Locust avenue as it is gener-
ally known, are proud to note the fact
that the line which is now being put
down on Locust avenue will be the
main line from Clarksburg, and that
other lines throughout the city may
be merely called the loop.
