What a Burglar Did.

Mrs. Anna Strallman, an aged and re-
spected widow lady living at 2oI l..
Stephen street, is in very serious condi-
ton and will propably not recover from
the effects of an experience with burglar
who visited her house early Friday morn
ing.
Mrs. Strailman and her grandson, Wade
Mckinney, are the only occupants of one
end of her double house Oh East Stephen
street About one O'Clock Friday morn
ing she was awakened by noise on her
back porch. She arose and went to the
rear room and. peering out the window
onto the porch, saw tall negro. who had
just ceased from picking at the door lock,
starring her in the face.
Mrs. S:railman was naturally very
much excited and in the excitement of
the moment got on chair and was at
tempting to pull down the window blind.
when she lost her balance and fell to the
floor, injured fatally, perhaps. Her grand
son was awakened by the noise of the fall,
and he hastily came to the aid of his in
jured grandmother. He found her lying
on the floor in helpless condition. Her
back and breast were badly injured, her
right arm sprained and she was internally
injured by the fall. She is now unable 10
move in bed and when anyone attempts
TO move her it pains her so that her cries
can be heard almost square away. Her
life is despaired of.
The infamous negro who was the cause
of Mrs. Strailman's misfortunes, escaped
at the sound of the noise inside. Earlier
in the night he was seen and scared away
from the home of Mr.. Kindrick. on the
same street, and in the yard of ID. Crimes.

THIRTY YEARS AGO.

Mr.. E. P. Moore, Of Chester, has
handed to The Chester Reporter copy
of The YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER Of Febru'
ary 10, 1870. The Reporter reproduces
the following items Of interest by 8
Chester correspondent:
One Of the most daring robberies
ever perpetrated in our community
was committed at late hour on Sat-
urady night, 5th instant. The provis.
ion house Of Messrs. Wylie, Roddy &
Agurs was broken into and their safe
containing money and other valua-
bles, taken therefrom. The burglar ef'
fected an entrance by boring through
the front door. Fearing that any at.
tempt to break open the safe in the
house would give the alarm, they had
q wagon in readiness and hauled 1t tc
the grove in the rear Of the Male tacad.
emy. Having reached more secure
place it was forced open and the treas.
ure appropriated. The amount ab-
stracted was about $1,5O0 in currency
and 500 in gold. The firm offers re-
ward Of $500.
The liberty pole located in the cen.
tre of our town, was blown down on
the 1st instant, during a heavy gale
of wind. It was originally used by the
U. S. soldiesr, while garrisoning this
place, as the masthead from which
might be seen floating the once proud
but now dishonored STARS and
Stripes" We have no liberty and want
no Flagstaff to display mockery and
an insult. Let us hope, however, that
the time is not far distant, when the
power of the Radical party, like the
pole, will be cleft asunder by the
strong wind of popular condemnation

CHINESE ATROCITIES IN PEKIh.

Accounts from Pekin describe the
wild enthusiasm which marked the
meeting between the besieged foreign
ers and their relatives. The men and
women cheered and snook hands with
the officers, soldiers, camp followers
in fact, anybody who accompanied the
allies.
The food supply had not failed,
though the people in the legations had
to eat horsehesh. The Tsung-h- va
men promised to supply them with
food; but only sent a few melons
When asked for fresh meat the Chinese
officials replied that state Of war ex-
listed and it was therefore impossible
to grant the request.
The Chinese pushed their attacks
fiendishly. Placards were posted
throughout the city declaring that the
foreigners must be extricated in five
days. It was only the cowardice OF
the Chinese, whv feared to meet the
foreigners in a hand-to-hand fight,
which prevented their success. '

Weston for Speaker.


The State, Friday: A representative
of The State yesterday called on the
Hon. Francis H. Weston, who has just
been reelected to the legislature from
Richland county, and asked him as to
his being a candidate for speaker OF
the next house. Mr.. Weston said that
in view of the fact that Mr.. Gary, the
late speaker, would not be member OF
the house, he had under consideration
whether or not he would be candl-
date for speaker. He had served as a
member for several terms and had
MANY friends throughout the state who,
in view Of his familiarity with the
rules of the house and his long expe-
rience, suggested him for the place. Mr..
Weston appreciates the honor of the
position, but has not fully determined
whether he will be candidate for
speaker.

Observance of March Z by Faculty of
Catholic UniXerAity.

The 7th of March is the patronal feast
faculty of philosophy of the Catholic Uni
versity. This year the feast was OBJ
served with the usual ceremonies. Pom
tifical mass was sung by Most Rev. Arch
bishop Keane, with Rev. John w. Melody
OF Chicago as assistant priest, Rev.
Patrick ]. Healy of New York, as deacon.
Rev. Andrew ]. Burns of Chicago, as sub
deacon, and Rev. Daniel J. Sullivan of

delphia as masters of ceremonies. The
music was under the direction Of Rev.
Placidus F. Feurst, o. S. B. Rev. F. q.
Rocker, secretary Of the papal legation,
preached the sermon.
DR.. Rocker took as the theme Of dis
course the particular benefit which st.
Thomas of Aquinas bestowed upon philo-
sophie studies, from the point of view Of
present day. The thesis was that modern
ethics need above all other things sclen-
ti1c basis from which to start and upon
which to build scientific superstructure.
After the ceremonies in the chapel there
was a convocation Of the teaching corps of
the university in the senate room. at which
the rector made a statement concerning
faculty of philosophy, together with the
deans of the other faculties and the heads
Of the affiliated colleges, were entertained

DISTRESS IN PORTO RICO
In the Center of the Island the Poor Without
Food.
Gen. Davis Obliged by the Conditions
to Continue the Distribution of
Aid to the Suffering.

Gen. Davis, governor of Porto Rico, has
made an appeal to the War Department
in behalf of the suffering and destitute
people of the island. 1t was the intention of
Gen. Davis to discontinue the free distripu-
ton of food about the 1st of this month,
but the industrial conditions existing IN
certain portions of the island rendered it
absolutely necessary to continue to feed the
starving inhabitants for some time longer
One of the districts, where urgent necessity
still exists fU~ feeding the people, is Man ati
the report of the officer in charge showing
that thousands of people have drifted into
that district and are bordering on starva-
ton
1t is stated that in some sections the in
habftants are beginning to raise sweet 20
tatoes, but in the center of the island or
the coffee growing district, there is nothing
for the poor to eat. Bananas and plantains
Will not be ripe for some time, probably for
from two to four months. Any discontinue
ance of the food distribution, therefore I'M
der these conditions, would result in a large
increase of sickness and of the death rate
The coffee planters are making strenuous
efforts to clear up their fields, but having
no money for the payment of their hands
the laborers have necessarily been laid off
and are drifting into the towns thereby
becoming public charges Unless fed at
the military governor has therefore request
ed shipment of 800 tons Of rice Goldfish
and bacon, in addition to the 500 tons asked
1or about three weeks ago.
Public Works Suggested.
In connection with the existing Industrial
conditions Gen. Davis is of opinion that the
quickest and most effective way Of securing
relief would be through large expenditures
upon public works BY carrying on road
work In the poorer districts, where the suf-
fering is greatest, it is believed that relief
could be accomplished in very short time
as such course would stimulate both IN
dustry and commerce.
Gen. Davis states that If he could put
ABOUT 1000 men at work for period of
three months on the roads, involving ex-
pendltures for labor, tools and survision
OF some $4,000 a month. the period of
acute distress could be tided over
The acting commissary general of sub
sistence has been directed to secure the
food asked for by the military governor of
Porto Rico for immediate shipment The
FUNDS of the subsistence department will
be reimbursed, if possible through the pro-
posed legislation now pending in Congress
appropriating 100000, representing the
duties collected on Porto Rican imports into
the United States. Should Congress appro-
pirate this money for the benefit of Porto
Rlco, n system Of public works and conse-
quent relief. as indicated by Gen. Davis,
would be speedily put into execution.

THE BUILDING OF SHIPS.
England Leads, With Germany and
America Following MS Named.


America Following rs Named.
The bureau Of foreign commerce has pub
llshed some statistics of more than usual
interest as in international shipbuilding,
forwarded by Vice Consul Murphy at Bre-
men. The German authorities from whom
ne quotes direct special attention to the
enormous predoninance of England in the
shipbuilding world, showing that the En-
glish shipbuilders in 1890 produced tonnage,
exclusive of war vessels. only one-fifth
less than the entire steamship fleet of Ger
many. Adding war vessels, aggregating
1888, tons, the total output Of the British
shipyards was 1854, 600 tons.
Although Germany occupies first place af-
ter England in shipbuilding, she is never
tbeless England's best customer, and last
year took $4,000 tons from England Alto
gether there was total production
throughout the world. outside of England
of SS1 900 tons Of shipping. For several
years Germany has been at the head of
the list after Great Britain, being excelled
in 1898 only by the United States. owing
to the latter's activity in building war YES
sells: but Germany Is again at the head,
having turned out 252. 600 tons last year,
as compared with 233,00O tons with the
United States. 1t Is noticeable that 40, 600
tons of Germany's production was in war
vessels, while the United States output of
war vessels was only 1900 tons.
